I would need to know if there would be possible for me to conceal my weapon, probably not the Great Sword, but at least the mace, or if someone could effectively conceal any martial melee weapon for me. I guess I could grab something from the office if something broke out. Maybe not even worry about it. I need to know how you guys/gals all feel.
I'm sure acolytes would have weapons, the ones that came for us certainly did.
Maybe we ought to get disguise kits as well, so that they don't recognise when we come back ....
Okay, I prefer my great sword but if an acolyte would only have a mace I would take that.
Catching up—again. I'm very sorry for such sparse posting as of late. I really do anticipate things smoothing out enough for me to actually be an active participant rather than 'Sorix follows along with everyone' once or twice a week. I feel bad and I appreciate very much you all giving me some slack right now. Gonna read through everything and get a gameplay post up.
No worries, it is a crazy time.
Apologies in advance: probably can't make another gameplay post until Monday. I'm out of town at my parents' house, still working my day job remotely and trying to juggle family hang-out time around my crazy work deadlines. If I can get a post in before bedtime I will, but no promises. Thanks!
Look after yourself Sorix and get well.
Should we do any buffing before we open the door?
I'm participating in Paizocon all next week with multiple games a day, so my posting will be slow. Please ding me on discord if I'm holding things up and I'll get a post in soonest.
Dropping a note in all my games. I am hoping things won't change too much, but wanted to forewarn my games that there may be some delays in my posting. My work schedule is usually busiest over the summer months and while it is slow right now I know at some point it will get crazy busy when I start getting shipments in of hundreds of new computers for a rebuild of one of my schools I manage. On top of this I am finishing up my dual MBA/MSIS this summer with three classes in a condensed 8-week semester.
All of this to say, I will do my best to keep up and if I know of major delays I will try to notify people (like when it is finals week), but if I do end up disappearing for a few days here or there just know it won't be long term. All the craziness I have going on over the next couple months should primarily be wrapped up near the end of July.
As always, if you need something quick you can generally ping me on Discord.

I don't remember what was next on our list of things to do. I was pretty satisfied in our success with this mission. It's always good when I don't die.
Just passing through..
Just passing through
"wave"
Dropping a note in all my games. Finished up with school yesterday, just waiting on the audit for me to officially be done and graduate even though there are no commencements with the whole virus thing. Wife is doing better after brief stint in the hospital. Looking at starting to get back into my games and get posting again sometime this week. My work is really crazy as first kids were coming back on the 17th but now everything is going to be virtual for an indeterminate amount of time, but teachers are coming back still and there is a lot of questions floating out there so bare with me as I ease into catching up on things and getting back into a regular posting routine again over the next week or so.
Glad your life is returning to some sort of normality and wishing you the best for your graduation audit. I know Horillo will be here when you return.
Echo Horillo, but you should have let me know about your wife! Shame on you.
Also still here. Calmly waiting for you to be up to diving back in. Take your time captain.
Dropping a note here for Dak. I touched base with him earlier today and he's tested positive for COVID and has been sick and out of commission for awhile and he is still sick. He said to let everyone know he'll be back when he recovers.
Thanks for the update, give him our best wishes and hope he gets better soon and recovers completely.
How is everyone else doing? I hope okay. I am fine, a little depressed but otherwise okay. As yet the worst impact I have had is I'm working much harder without any relief. No vacations (holidays for you Horillo) and no normal de-stressors in the outside world. Everyone keep it up and keep your spirits up!

Miss ya'll. Just saying... I hope everyone is doing well and I hope Dak is recovering well and quickly with no lasting effects.
Kids don't like it so much, but I'm still around and making do in these crazy times. Hope everyone else is doing well.
Off topic, I'm playing in a 2e game and we ran into an ooze the other day in a cavern. I dabble in 3d work, so I rendered the battle since one of use got stuck inside the ooze.
Hey, I wanted to drop in and give all my games an update. I'm still alive, obviously, and I've managed to stay out of the hospital and off a ventilator. However, I'm still not fully recovered. Even though I'm outside my two week symptomatic/infectious period by over a week there are some lingering issues that are still weighing on me (continued shortness of breath, getting light headed, overall fatigue). I doing my best to push through it but it is barely just enough to get me through work everyday and doesn't leave a lot of time for anything else. I would like to give a hard and fast "I'll be back and up to playing again by this time", but sadly at this point I can't. It could be a couple weeks or it could be a couple months for me to get used to this new (hopefully temporary) norm on top of a few other things going on.
All this to say, I'm ok, I'm trying my best to manage, but I can't give you a hard "this is when I will be back". I understand it has been awhile as it is, between this most recent struggle with COVID and my past slowness with finishing up my graduate stuff so if you need to move on without me I completely understand and I'm just sorry that right as I was getting back into things again this whole virus thing came along and knocked me back down again. I'll check in again once I feel I'm up to playing with everything else I am balancing.
I'm good, and just sorry to hear you are still suffering. I know how busy you were before the virus started taking all your strength and stamina, I can only imagine how you are getting everything done now. You take care of yourself and we will be here when you are ready.
Cassie! what an artist you are. Very impressive stuff.
I second Mawl's comments. I wish you a good recovery and hope you get a chance to take it easy to regain your strength. My best wishes and when you are ready I hope we can all continue.

.Everyone have a great week!
Sorry for the long silence a lot been going on and after getting pinged on Discord I wanted to drop a note in all my games. I'm actually doing a lot better now, pretty much fully recovered. However, my wife has been really sick, last month she was in the hospital for a week and I'm sitting in the surgery center now waiting to see how things turn out on a few hour procedure she is currently in. Depending on how invasive the surgery is I may be dealing with a lot for at least a month or so taking care of her and the kids and working. On top of that with the holidays coming and the normal delays that revolve around that I am going to say that it's going to be at least January before I look at picking things up again. Maybe if things get better sooner I will try jumping back in before that but I feel like early January is going to be more realistic.
If you need to move on without me I understand feel free to find a replacement if needed and when I check back we can go from there. Sorry for all the absent time, these last few months have just really kicked my butt first physically, then mentally and emotionally. Hope you all are keeping safe and have a good Thanksgiving and Christmas for those who celebrate.
Awesome, I'm good for early-mid January.
Best wishes to you and your family, here's to 2021 being a better year for you. I'm good to return in January.
To keep the game active do we have to do something in Gameplay or will discussion work?
As far as I know, the game is made inactive by the GM, but to keep the game on the campaigns tab, I don't know what the rules are. I think posting to the discussion thread should be OK, but that's just a shot in the dark.
Not sure what everyone's doing, but was going through my games and came across my old friend Horillo.
I hope things are better in your life now GM Dak, wondered if anyone else out there wanted to resurrect this campaign?
