So, today was first day back to school and as expected not much chance for posting. This is about the time I am back home and ready to roll on weekdays from now on.
Work has been amazing but I'm pretty much stuck posting in the evenings unless a lull happens in the day. With Q4 coming up I don't see many lulls coming up.
Heh, this week was supposed to be my mids shift (9:30 PM to 5:30 AM) but my boss is sending me to a class instead. Next week I should be back to shift again (5:30 AM to 1:30 PM this coming week) so... yeah, expect me to have odd hours normally from here on in.
Oh, and congrats on the new comp Tess. I am actually looking at building myself a new one. We will see how that goes.
Krah you can crit when it counts :)
I was worried about Krah for a split second there, then I read the next post :)
I know posting fell off. I'm getting my time soaked up by a new girl, my podcast, and the job. I'm reading, I just don't have time to type lately!
Busy, busy, college waiting.
No problem, I understand, am in the same boat with school year starting again. Since there is so little remaining in the module I am tempted to do a chat session to finish off the final map/battle. If you guys are down, we can start talking times and days that could work. Or, we could just continue at a slower pace. There is a map of stuff (dungeon to explore with monsters and peril) and the big final battle remaining in the AP as written.
Neat.
My schedule is probably the most chaotic with regards to that (and while I can sort of post at work if things are slow, chat type things are blocked) but I am willing to suggested dates. Zael is waiting for the end of this round to move into the warehouse, given right now he is currently removing the boards.
That's fine, we are really out of round by round actions now, I am vaguely keeping track of time for the fire though. It's something like 10d6 fire per minute before hardness is applied.
We can probably say you got through in the time it took Tess to tie Garmen up with a rope and heal him back to consciousness.
Anyone heard from Tarkov?
Fraid not, PMed him yesterday, no word yet.
Me either, kind of worried.
Well, not sure what I can do to revive this. We are so close to finishing its painful. Any suggestions? 5th player?
Fifth player maybe, I think we are still waiting on Tarkov.
I really don't want this to die.
I'm still in this. Sorry I've fallen off.
Tarkov has just seemed to vanish. If need be, we could look for another to join the venture and if he comes back continue as a team of five.
Yes, I would certainly be ok with a party of 5 when Tarkov returns. Tess, not sure he mentioned it in this thread, but in some other games he had said he was very sick.
Oh no, that doesn't sound good at all. I hope he gets better.
I am ok with a fifth... but seems a bit late to bring one in to me (given you are saying we are close to the end). Would think a more logical place to take on a fifth (or fourth, should Tarkov not return) would be in between this module and the next.... but, then, having no knowledge of what awaits us back underground, could be that we don't make it through that encounter without Tarkov.
Hmm, I like that idea too. I think you guys can do it with 3. You are 20 pt buy in a 15 pt buy game, and could always bring an NPC if you are worried.
We could talk Doric into joining us temporarily. I could stat him out.
Possible.
That would work, Doric is a great candidate for that. I would be a fan of one of you controlling him rather than me, based on botting in another game. I'm hesitant to commit to actions, or feel weird taking the last hp, when I bot and would just rather one of you do it.
What level should he be?
3rd, just use the same character creation rules sans special object. I'll let you (all) choose class(es). Sounds like he started as some sort of fighter, but he has been working for Garmen all this time and may have picked up some additional skills. He also had a Numerian fluids exposure that gave him tremendous insight into technology for nearly a half a day. I don't think I ever rolled his addiction roll, but you could make that part of it. Perhaps a chance to try out the Numerian fluids without screwing over one of your own characters.
But I mean, if you want to make him a bard/druid or something that's cool too.

I figure he started as a cad type fighter, and then then the fluids amplified the mental part of that giving him the rogue as a 3rd level.
DC 15 Addiction:
Looks good, I like it.
Guys another thought, by basically doing nothing, we could get PFS credit for this game (if we finish this chapter). Its 3 XP and 4 prestige points, basically a free 2nd level PFS character. Interested?
One of the boons is that you can get one of the aliens (that you guys found as bones) as a familiar. The other boon is Androffan as a language. Also a crapton of tech for purchase.
That'd be cool.
Hey delver comrades! Again, I'm sorry Krah's been dead to the world. I'm kind of getting a hang of this new schedule and I've found a spot to fit pathfinder so that I don't go crazy. Love the job, miss the sleep.
Thanks for not giving up on the game!
Know and resemble that sentiment Krah... lol.
Yep, I'm guilty as well. Thanks for hanging in despite life
Krah btw, the Giantslayer game is picking up again too
I saw that. I should have more room to make both posts tomorrow. I'll post a little something tonight.
Alright, sorry if I'm coming off as pushy, I'm 100% ok with one post per day.
Hey all,
You might have seen my post on the other forum. I need to bow out of playing PbP right now because I am traveling too much for work and the way I spend my time has simply changed.
Honestly, I was wanting to be selfish with this game in particular and somehow continue playing Krah but I don't think that would be fair to any of you. I hope to drop in from time to time to read up on the story and please feel free to use Krah as necessary, NPC and all.
Good luck in finishing the first book and I hope we can play together again at some point!
You were a valued member of the team. It was nice to have the opportunity to play some with you.
Sorry to hear that, very nice playing with you indeed.
Sorry to hear it... kinda been slow posting myself lately (work and family are taking a huge section of my time lately, no surprise there) so I am sorry if it caused a delay in you being able to finish this with us.
Hmm, pondering now. There is the current fight here, then a guardian of sorts, and then the final fight remaining. Would one or both of you want to control Doric and Krah? Feels funny to recruit at this point. Thoughts?
Or, random thought, we could just finish through some RP rather than playing out the battles.
RP might be faster... and more interactive.
RP. Will be busy today but be able to post a bit later on.
Ok, I got 1 hour before I got to go to rotc. Let's rp.
