Yoshi - sad to see you depart. Best wishes that all works out well IRL.
Corvus - arghh.. glad to see you're staying with us.
ALLCON - apologies for protracted silence. I'd like to say I was in mourning for Corvus, but I was actually just pulled away into Spring Break/Easter rounds of activity that were much more intensive than I'd imagined. Back now!
Just popping in to say "Hi" here before I jump in

Hi...
halloo!
My next significant player-initiated action is in the morning. Based on Fort-saves (or lack of saves, as in my case) indicate there's GM-initiated plot coming up. or have I missed something?
Just to say I'm travelling for the nex three days - so posting will be from my phone. I'll look to keep up but please be patient.
I'm still here, just reading. Thought it would look silly if I posted 'Lays there in heroic pose' :)
@Krokod - I'm working on that 'lays there' thing.
Thanks, though it looks like you may not want to or be able to safely at this time , and I wouldn't blame ya :)
Just to let you know: For the next week, I'll be away in another part of the state, I should have internet connection but my posting maybe slower. If you need to NPC me for a bit due to slowness, feel free, but hopefully that won't be necessary.
ALLCON - Apologies for the mutual waiting. I wasn't showing any new messages, and hadn't realized I was on deck. I'm not sure what happened with the message counter.
At this point, I feel this game has fizzled. I really enjoyed running it for most of the tenure but the general lack of posting makes it hard for me to keep interested.
I will attempt to keep it going if we can pump the posting rate up.
In case anyone is wondering, I'm still here but my character has been incapacitated since June 7th.
Woot! end of snakey/kech-ey combat!
We are eating roast mamba today, friends and neighbors!
I'm good to go - not at full HP yet, and I know Corvax isn't either yet. But we can catch up with that as we move forward.
Good to go!
oh my goodness - there's an actual trained engineer among us.
I don't suppose the rest of us can 'aid' with other applicable skills - maybe Use Magic Device (I seem to recall it was a magically powered engine), or Profession(sailor), or crafty skills (I don't see anyone with really pertinent ones..)?
*bump*
I (player) am waiting for the initiative to come around.
I don't think my action will change. I also don't think it will succeed, but I gotta 'do me' and give it a try.
If it helps move plot, Angelo will be casting cause fear on the anaconda - hoping to convince it to release Krokod and flee. Of course, if the anaconda is 6 hit dice or more, the spell has not effect.
Going to a music festival ...I'll be in and out of contact for the weekend. DMPC as needed.
BTW, it was a pleasure playing with you guys, but with other campaigns opening and Real Life situations cutting some time short, I figured I'd take this as a reasonable way to withdraw.
GMEDWIN, thanks for this chance. If you could move me to inactive, it would be much appreciated.
I would like to introduce you Omodo he will be joining the game for the next encounter. Give him a welcome!!!
Hope you survive, new friend!
Greetings. Here I am
welcome Umodo! Just fair warning - this is the warm fuzzy friendly board (discussion). There's a scary nasty kill-ey place full of prickly characters on the other side of the board (gameplay). So if you need a spot of sunshine, have a dose over here!
I'm going to a be a dinosaur most of the time so scary nasty place would suit me fine.
darn. angelo will flirt with anything that moves - but probably draws the line at dinsoaurs. <sigh>

Hi, I was expecting with the new character coming in there would be an increase in activity. Is there any interest in this game at all? If not, we can stop. Its up to you.
I'm interested and always have been. I just got in from Nantucket today, and the hostel didn't have the computer they had last year, so I just caught up.
I had to sit out over a month whilst one fight took place, so I'm definitely in it for the long haul. I wonder if it's anything to do with so many new characters and not a lot in common just yet.
working on it - been contemplating Angelo's reaction.
I'm still waiting for someone to respond to my character.
"Dude, nice chicken."
"It's not a chicken, It's a velociraptor."
"It's not a chicken YET. Give it a while, and it'll start clucking."
BTW, I've been thinking a lot about how to react to Umodo, based on some background - enough background that Angelo has this trait -
Colonial Entitlement
You are a firm believer in the superiority of your heritage, and you cling to your racial and cultural pride.
Benefit: You gain a +2 trait bonus on Intimidate checks against Mwangi.
So... Mwangi are the help (or food), and Angelo is well-experienced in bullying the natives. It's not attractive, particularly with another PC. But that's what it is.
There are reasons Poulain looks even more poorly at Angelo than others.
Poulain's just a sourpuss :)
come to think of it, isn't 'poulain' latin for 'chicken', or something?
Poulain - you OK with some sight-line-limiting mists? hand-to-hand good for you?
He's MUCH less effective in melee. Let's see what this entangle does to them. If you have to do a mist, go ahead, but Poulain's way better at archery than with melee.
that's why I ask :) First time we've really had strongly range-effective opponents. But I figure Poulain's bow is a near match for 1/2 dozen of the local elves.
If we get them panicked and entangled, they should surrender quickly, I hope. Otherwise POULAIN GOTTA LIGHT SOME MUFUS UP!
I'd work on the panicked bit.. but they're elves... and that +4 save against enchantment just isn't going to work well for most of my 'panic' magic.
Drinkin one of zem dry will.
wrong flavor. just have to perforate 'em and water the grasses.
I'm so energized! I've been mathing all morning!
My problem in comological physics is knottier than anything. I'm going to have to math my way through it with great creativity.
EDIT: Also, Gaki is not dead. After mathing all the damage I have him at -1 he can go till -17 before he dies. He is simply unconscious and bleeding out.
After reckoning all the damage
After summing all the damage
Let's not forget that the language is in fact English and therefore it's maths not math.
Although in fairness the brits would addess that as 'sums' not 'maths'
And it's Brits not brits. And to be entirely accurate, I wouldn't take notice of anything the Scottish or Welsh say - so let's just say the English ; p
Well and fairly said Though for my part, my wife's side of the family is Welsh (sister has a degree from U Cardiff) and my brother-in-law lives in Ireland. My side of the family... let's just say I'm 400th in line for Castle Merrick off the Welsh coast, and Aunt Mary and Uncle Joe both still live in Ireland. So it's in my best interests to avoid provoking slaps-of-opportunity from non-English Brits :)
Oh, but do what you'd like with the Scots - I've no vested interests.
