GM Haladir's Rise of the Runelords (Inactive)

Game Master Haladir

Do you mean a spell book in my gear or actually listing what's in my spellbook?

Um, both, unless Im totally missing it.

Ah, I got you. I'll try to have that fixed before I go to bed tonight.

I have changed one language that Cerin gained this level and chosen the spells that he prayed for this morning.

I got the impression that no one wanted the buckler and included it in the items sold. Cerin also gives his share of the money from the sold items to the others to start to repay the loan of the money to buy his scimitar.

Updated the alias.

Thanks, folks.

With Thanksgiving on Thursday, I'll be traveling for the next few days, and my posting will be sporadic at best.

I am hoping that I'll get a decent-sized post up tonight, but that's going to depend on when I finish packing for the trip.

Sounds good!

As I said in the Shattered Star game, have fun and take care of yourself. We'll be here when you get back.

I'd imagine it'll be a quiet week then?

Yup, or we'll wind up chatting and leaving poor Haladir a hundred and one posts to sort through when he gets back. :D

Sounds like a plan to me. You game Cerin and Helena?

So, it's coming into summer here in South Australia, and that means it's fire season. We've had several Catastrophic danger levels this month. (The scale is Low - Moderate - High - Very High - Severe - Extreme - Catastrophic, because Australia does not f+!~ around.)

Today, we had a fire start out near my place of employment, which is in a rural area. Even though the wind was blowing away from us, we evacuated the whole site just to play it safe. And because it's a primary school, that resulted in 350 terrified kids and stressed teachers being kept indoors and taking drink and toilet breaks in pairs, while every member of leadership and support staff rang the parents of every child to evacuate them. I'm home now, and all the main roads near me have been closed off. I'm safe, but shaken, and it's made me realize that there may well come a time when I'm affected by a fire and won't be able to get online and let everyone know. If that happens, I'll try to get a real-life friend with a Paizo account to spread the word.

Chatting sounds good. I have a friend on Facebook who regularly travels without access to social media, so a whole bunch of us use his wall as a sounding board, diary, scrapbook... everything, really. I'm always down to chat.

I've got a friend of mine down there who had one pop up 15 minutes away from her place. Fire seasons are always a scary thing, but it's worse when all you have is a major section of dry brush.

Yep. I work in a rural area, so it doesn't take much for the fields to go up. I live in a more urban area, but it's close to the hills, which are dry as a bone.

Wow, sounds terrifying! I'm glad you're ok. I live in California and when we were having a lot of wildfires last year, a friend of mine had to evacuate. When he was finally allowed to come back, the area behind his house was scorched right up to his back fence.

I remember living in Washington and when we'd get the forest fires, the east side of the state would just become hazy and grey. Our biggest fears of brush fires were only because of the nuclear site next to our town.

Sorry it took so long, but I have added Gwyn's spellbook.

So how's everyone's weekend going?

Peachy, though I had a little hiccup in one of my games due to some mistakes I made.

Fine! Celebrating my brother's birthday today and my gaming group is getting together tomorrow for another soul-crushing game of Arkham Horror.
;)

Exhausting. I had an Alestorm concert on Friday night which left my throat and head absolutely destroyed, and yesterday, I had to go to a friend's birthday and my work Christmas thing. I'm beat.

And now I'm trying to get caught up on all my games (I'm in too many!) and work out exactly why I like seeing my characters put through the wringer...

Lol, sounds like a blast. So far I've read one Gwyn's games in case I do take over, have started working on a game some friends of mine want me to start as they want to give PF a go, and that's about it lol.

In other news, the bushfire has been contained, after it got over eighty-five thousand hectares of land, and the firies have done a fantastic job on it.

My local PFS chapter is running the Siege of Serpents special next Saturday, Skyping in with Geelong.

There's a test cricket match on in Adelaide at the moment, which is making parking very difficult. Curse my social life, demanding I spend time there. I don't even like cricket!

Sorry for the random spam, just going for this chatty thing we planned :P

Holy crap! That is a lot of friggin land! Glad to hear it was contained. And pfft, who needs a social life? Lol

Yikes and this is jus the beginning of the dry season for you isn't it?

Yep. It isn't even summer yet! Scary stuff.

Man, that is never a fun time. So glad I don't live in a desert anymore...

I think I am going to try introducing the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game to my gaming group tomorrow. I hope they will enjoy it as much as I have!

I've never played that to be honest

Hi, folks. Just checking in. My holiday weekend was wonderful, but very taxing. I just got home a few hours ago, and I just found out that I'm going to walk into a major issue at the office tomorrow morning. An issue that's both technical and political, and partly stems from a decision I made a few months ago. Needless to say, I don't have time or wherewithal to do a real post tonight, and probably not tomorrow either.

Veronica: Scary stuff! Hope you and yours are OK!

Man, just gotta love politics right? Hopefully everything shakes out well for you Haladir!

Ditto. Hope to get back up and running real soon, but take care of what you need to take care of first. We'll wait.

I know how you feel, I hate politics at work! Good luck, I hope everything works out ok, and don't worry about the game.

Take care!

Yeah, me and mine are fine. Bit shaken from the ordeal, but just from trying to evacuate an entire school - we personally didn't have to evac or anything.

That sounds scary, though. Hope everything's alright :/

Glad to hear you're all good down there Helena!

Thanks for the warm wishes, everyone!

Today's meeting with my manager, the department head, and the Director went far better than I expected. Turns out that my director totally has my back on this-- I now have a new project in my lap, but if I can pull it off, it'll be a major win for my workgroup (and me personally). I hate playing politics, but I'm halfway decent at it when I'm forced into the game.

The situation is pretty much just a pi$$ing contest between our division and another; the directors aren't friends.

And my Monday night Skull & Shackles game over Roll20 fizzled out due to a lack of quorum, so I should be able to move this game forward a bit tonight. Look for a Gameplay post in an hour or so.

Hell yeah man, go get it!

Woot, glad things are looking up for you. Also for the gameplay post. The SnS falling through, not so woot, though.

Also, I added a list of Gwyn's shenanigans that have been mentioned or touched on so far. As I think them up or they come up in gameplay, I'll add to it.

*immediately goes to check out Gwyn's misadventures*
*chokes on coffee*
Brilliant.

So, which one made you choke? :D

I found them all friggin hilarious

Pure awesome! Can't wait to see more.

There were plenty of giggles, but it was the last one that resulted in the coffee spit-take. :D

Just a heads up, in case you missed it, I'm starting up a Fate Core game. Currently I'm recruiting, so if you are interested, check the thread here: Recruitment Thread

I'm actually a little shocked by the lack of interest. I understand that APs and Pathfinder games are the most popular, but it's surprising what the difference is.

And glad you guys liked Gwyn's shenanigans. I do hope that the GM will be obliging and let me know when Gwyn's sinuses start acting up. I also imagine that Gwyn's master started referring to them as things like, The Guard Incident, The Alchemy Incident, The Other Guard Incident, The Changing Room Incident, and The Incident.

The Incident That Shall Not Be Named?

Totally stealing that one.

The Incident Of Which We Must Not Speak?

And we have both of those. :D

Okay! I'm cooling my heels in an airport at the moment, so I finally have time for an update! It's been a crazy week.

As you might guess from my being in an airport, I'm traveling again. We're going to San Antonio for a long weekend. I should be able to keep up semi-regular posts.

Just when I was starting to really recover from my breakup, my beautiful spaniel Ruby-Charles died this morning. She was my first real pet, and she's left some big fuzzy boots to fill. Posting may be a bit hit-and-miss while I try to heal. Sorry to do this again so soon, but sometimes the d20 of life falls on a 1.

I am so sorry to hear that! I know first-hand how devastating the loss of a beloved pet can be.

My late uncle once summed it up very well: "When you love animals, you're setting yourself up for a lifetime of heartache: You know you'll outlive all of them, except the last... but it's totally worth it."
