I'm back on with my laptop. Give me a few and I'll get a post up. Luckily I saved most of the results of my rolls so I don't have to do all that again.
LOL, technology is great but it only works 50% of the time, that is my motto! Yay for saving!
Just got ultimate campaigns! Oh frabjous day! It's good people. Really good. Child/adolescent adventures, kingdoms with sewers, complete background generation, running a tavern/brothel/school/business/cult, and so much more!
Hey all! I know I mentioned having some adjustments for work but I really fell behind and am trying to catch up. I'm finally getting a few minutes on my lunch break. I'm really sorry about all this. The good news is that I'm not dropping or anything, I will pick back up. Like I said, I'm just adjusting to not having 9 hours a day some days to post. I probably won't be able to get anything up to move the story forward until later tonight. But I promise I will have a post up.
A couple of things I should let you know about my upcoming schedule, I will be out for a couple of different weeks with no posting at all. The first week will be from June 15-22. I will be out of the country with little to no access to wifi, and even if I had wifi I wouldn't really have the time to post. From July 4-9 I will be out for my anniversary so there will definitely be no posting during that time.
If anyone else knows of a vacation that they have coming up where they are not going to be able to post please go ahead and let us know, this way we're not wondering where you are, just like you've been worrying about me the last few days!
Again, so sorry, but the sudden change just threw me and I have had very few chances the last few days to even get online, even less to post. But I will have something late tonight and will make sure to start posting more often. It's not that I don't have the time, it's just that I was used to having all that time during the day and my evenings have been packed lately. I look forward to continuing this adventure with you all!
So on the list of items are there a total of 10 cure potions or are there just 5? It almost looked like some of the items list is a copy and paste duplicate. Mainly I need to know if Tuoni took 5 potions then are there any left for Tev to take 1.
Hey all, I just want to elaborate on my current flightiness and reassure you of a couple of things.
So my job situation changed as I said, but I'll be more specific. I have been working in the pawn/gold buying area for a few years now, mostly to put myself through college (do NOT imagine me as one of those sleezy pawn people, I'm actually quite nice and a bit sensitive to boot), but for a while I was at one of those We Buy Gold places and it was DEAD. That allowed me to get more involved with pbp and sometimes be able to post all day long. This made it to where I didn't think about posting during the evening/morning times and generally worked out. Well, since that place made no money we shut it down and I had to go back to the pawn shop, which as you can imagine is a regular business where I can't play games all day. So that's why I have been adjusting. I know that I didn't necessarily have to tell you all that but I figure it's only fair. I'm not good at transition with my time schedule, so everything has been topsy-turvy for me and I've had to settle into it. Thanks for hanging in there so far.
That leads me to the reassurances. This group is my most important group. I did get myself involved in a lot of other pbp's because I had the time, but this one has always been my commitment. Even is there are short time lapses, I will always make sure that this is my first priority. We've adventured together, even quarreled a bit, and still we venture forth! I'm sorry for some of these short term glitches that I've had, but I appreciate your endurance and your help to learn more about Pathfinder. It means a lot! Let's keep moving forward!
Also, just a reminder, I'll be gone all next week so don't think I've abandoned you!!
...That is all.
Then let us get the skulls resolved this week.
Thanks for telling us what the situation is.
Thanks for keeping us updated, I have heard stories of DMs just leaving and not even saying anything to the players... We understand real life takes priority, especially work. We will be here! Well Baris will be! :)
FYI, I'll probably being gone until some time tomorrow evening, so don't wait up.
Tev you might want to use the climb check for climbing rather than acrobatics to jump over them. Just a suggestion the DC would most likely be much lower. :)
My grandmother just died, funeral is scheduled for next saturday. I have no idea how this will affect posting, but if I seem a bit slow to post, or just vanish, that is why. Oddly, yesterday's trip was totally unrelated.
This is one of those times when people say, 'it's better this way' and everyone, including grandmother, is in agreement. 97 is venerable.
Sorry to hear that my condolences.
Hey all, I'm sorry for saying sorry so often. It seems like excuse after excuse, but this last two weeks have been a bit overwhelming. Not only have I been gearing up for this trip with my church next week to the Dominican, my wife's and my dog has been dealing with stuff. Long story short a terribly eventful trip to the groomer last week ended in part of his tail being amputated today after several trips to the vet, including stitches, a lot of blood, the cone of shame, and of course leading to the very cute white tip of his tail being taken off today. It's been extremely emotional and draining, especially since we are both leaving him for a week tomorrow with a variety of friends and family as sitters. I know I've had to say it many times recently, but I'm sorry that rl has been a b&$!+.
Once this trip is over a lot will settle down for me, and minus a much shorter trip for our 1 year anniversary (woohoo), I'm not planning on being anywhere but home. Doing things I enjoy, such as this game. So, I'm sorry that we haven't gotten a lot accomplished in the last week, but this will be my last post before leaving, most likely until Monday 6/24. So, take a breather, catch up on your other pbp's, and I'll be rip roaring ready when I return.
Also, I'm very sorry Tuoni for your loss, and I can completely join in with the sentiment and say 'Hear, hear!' to 97 years! What an incredible life that must have been!
So, until I return, live long and prosper!
Hey all, just checking in to say that Alyssa and I are ready to resume play, and looking forward to it.
Same here, waiting and ready! :)
Hey all! Sorry or the wait. Once we got back we had a lot of things that required our attention, and that was around my work schedule. I may not post something until a little later because I've been out of sorts and need to read back through and see where I'm at. That being said, I am back and ready for action! Thank you all for being patient and look for my post in a bit!
Yup your post makes sense, so are we up now, meaning is it our turns from our original initiatives?
Sorry if i didn't make that clear! I've discovered I like going in cells better, so the pc's, you guys, are now up. As long as everyone goes then I'll respond/post the next cells movements. The only thing that will be different this round is that the skulls have already moved by coming in, so they won't move again until the end of the next round. Glad to be back!
Sorry I haven't resolved anything yet, I just wanted to let everyone see that I'm back. We're missing Janasen and Radim, and I might get a chance during my lunch break to resolve some of the actions, my copy of the AP is at home. I'm pretty sure that at least one skull is dead, but I can't confirm that. Either way, just waiting on the other two to move forward the initiative.
Hey everyone, just wanted to give you a heads up on my last vacation of the summer. I'll be out of town from Friday through Tuesday. I'll be in the states, though, so at the very least I'll be able to make a quick check and probably even a post or two. Just thought you should know!
Thanks for the heads up Fyrian. Hope you have a good 4th of July weekend!
So I hope we haven't lost anyone due to my long absences. If you haven't noticed I have posted for the next round. Please just check in and let me know whether or not you're planning to continue on with the group!
I am around...Ready and willing!
Still here and interesting in continuing, but Radim is pretty much sitting this round of combat out. Don't feel bad if you skip over him.
We are still here and of course interested in continuing. Though I wanted to make sure to make this post: Tev and I are going to be gone to Hawaii for our honeymoon for about 10 days (starting on the 19th) and won't have reliable access to the internet for that time. We're hopeful that we can get back into the swing of things once we return, though.
Alrighty! Well congratulations again on the wedding stuff and I hope your honeymoon is awesome. I think we can finish this town hall event in the next day or two at the pace we are going, and then we can break for that week so you do not have to think about coming back on here (you're on your honeymoon, enjoy it!), and we'll head on to the next half of the adventure when you return.
Sorry that this last bit has dragged on the way it has, but I'm really ready to move on, the whole next part will hopefully kick start the game because now we're doing what RPG does best, dungeon crawl!
Like I said in Gameplay, I just need to know what you guys want to do. So far I have two firefighters and Radim is sitting out. That leaves Janasen, Alyssa, and Tuoni... who I think might be AWOL again. So just let me know!
OH. HOLY. CRAP!
Long story short, I wrote a post two weeks ago monday saying I would likely be AFK for the next two weeks. I posted this on the discussion threads of all my campaigns, and apparently the goblins ate everything. So I am currently freaking out a little bit. A thousand apologies may my house be turned into a dungheap.
A few weeks ago my grandmother died, funeral stuff happened during the break we took so I didn't bother to notify people. Since then things in that clan have devolved to the point that there are now three camps, two of which have lawyers aimed at each other, and the a third, which my family and one other falls in, which are watching the oncoming train-wreck weeping, because seriously, it's reaching latin soap-opera levels, aside from the adultery and murder, so far.
As neither side will allow the other to touch the estate, my family, and thus me because I'm attending the nearby university and everyone else had to get back to jobs and homes, have had to take care of fixing up properties to sell, cataloging possessions, and generally all the stuff that comes with estates. Alone. By myself. Also trying to wrangle the paranoid schizophrenic aunt who refuses to accept that her mother being dead means the house that she lives needs to be sold and that all of this stuff doesn't actually belong to her. She has the endearing quality of accusing any and all males around of rape.
And so I washed my hands of the mess, except not really. Having lived in and managed one of the properties that make up the estate for three years I can't just walk away because, well, it's my house and I've been paying bills, so yeah.
This is in addition to all the other stuff that comes with moving back early, finding job, taking courses, etc.
Anyway, I have my schedule together, at least until shifts change again, and honestly thought everybody knew.
Crazy hectic stuff Tuoni, best of luck with you, let alone with the lawyers.
Family reunion this weekend, starting today, Friday until Sunday. I will likely not have internet, so if you don't see me post you know where I am.
Alyssa and I are officially back.
I am still around, not for sure if you want us to post on this present subject anymore?
Sweet. Let's get back to it.
Alright, sorry about dragging this out. I am going to resolve this, but I just haven't picked the exact way yet. I've been working late and have to be to work early tomorrow, so I won't get to it tonight. Tomorrow evening I will post the resolve of the town hall situation. I'm going to take into account all the most recent posts and what you all wanted to do. This way we can move on to the next part of the AP, hopefully spring some life back into the game. I hope everyone is still in. Thanks for sticking around you guys, I think we'll pull this off yet!
We eagerly await our fates.
Sounds good, waiting to see the outcome!
Heya, did something happen to everyone?
Can't speak for the others, but the scheduling gods have been unkind to me and I have been spending the last few weeks chained at work and destroying myself with flipping between night and day shifts. Needless to say, I've been exhausted and out of the loop on a lot of things. I will try to get something up at some point today.
Truly, they are most capricious and uncaring gods.
Sorry to hear that Radim. :(
Radim, as you can tell I'm with you. Every time I try to get ahead I find myself falling further behind. I'll have a post up tonight introducing the next part of the AP.
I'm getting tired of saying this, but I'm so very sorry. I was in a wedding and had guests staying at my house all week, though I still planned on getting on. I tried several times and the website was not responding, mid-afternoon was the only time I was available. So the wedding is over and the guests just left so I had a moment to get on here. We're cleaning up after all that so I don't have to time to post the next part. I will post that up Monday morning. I just wanted to let you all know what happened. Again, I'm very sorry for the way all this has gone for the last couple months since my work has picked up. Thank you all for sticking around. Don't give up on me!
Life gets busy, we all understand. :)
I am just trying to figure out exactly what the auras are without really knowing what they are. I am just trying to be helpful and to make it clear.
A magical aura comes from one school or another, and then we can do specific spellcraft DC.
Would they get a specific aura when detecting evil, rather than an aura just everywhere.
I think we would get a specific aura if there were something capable of generating it, as per the spell, within range. Same thing with Detect Magic.
However, I can easily see faint or weak auras being impossible, or at least difficult, to distinguish due to the general miasma. I love being able to use that word. Maybe a perception or spellcraft check to distinguish individual sources?
Though my main concern as a player is what is either making this miasma, or exactly what is the miasma. We are not in Ravenloft, and even there, such things do not cover large areas, each village or realm had a reason for the auras being exuded.
Well this doesn't affect my character, though just trying to piece this together.
Ustalav is Ravenloft.
Oh well, I guess it doesn't matter.
Things seem to be going through a slow patch, so this announcement won't have too huge of an impact on things, but: Janasen and I just bought a place, and the priority over the next few days is to get all our junk moved in. Just wanted to let folks know.
Good to know, and happy warmcoming to your new place!
Have fun.
