GM mechaPoet's Risen from the Sands (Inactive)

Game Master mechaPoet

Thanks Khairam for playing! I'll be sure to look for you on the boards!

Hello! I'll be the new addition. Jib is a Ratfolk Investigator, and I made him a ranged combatant like the PC he is replacing. I hope to be a valuable addition to the group!

Welcome aboard, Jib!

Hey all, I'm gonna get a post up today to introduce Jib.

Jib: I've introduced an additional house rule in my games that I'm gonna throw in here as well:

Any character that gains the Trapfinding ability also automatically gains the Trap Spotter rogue talent. Enjoy!

Welcome to the gang, Jib!

Hey all! I know we tend to run slow, but I wanted to give you a heads up that I might be a little extra slow this week. I'm just super busy, but I will try to get a post up tonight!

OK so it's not just me! :) RL stuff has kept me away but I'm back!

I know we're usually slow, but are Akri and Eisalka around?

Yes, I'm still here! I'm sorry I've been slow to play.

I'm dealing with a giant upheaval at work. It is sucking the life from me every day. My company changed owners and the new people need to have endless, senseless meetings. I'm tasked with trying to keep the staff together, but they are all walking out on me, and I'm not far behind...

It's all very stressful and has kept me away from the d20s and stories I love so much...

I'll sharpen my axe and be back in it- let's finish this pharaoh once and for all!

Blech, that doesn't sound pleasant in the least. I hope things work out alright for you! Just wanted to check in and see what's up. :)

Would you prefer that I bot you for now, if you don't post for a little while?

I'm still around as well, just not much to do when Eisalka is frightened for several more rounds. :)

Ah, that's true. This was your last round, though. Post is up, the map has been updated, and it's time to finish this Aspis party!

I think we just did!

I'm good to post. Not to sound too cheesy but getting back to the game is a wonderful reprieve from the bs!

OK gang, before the next room, shall we divide up the loot? Sionnach has the wand, do you also want to hold the potions, or divide those- I wouldn't mind having one in a pinch. Also, there was a scroll of cure moderate wounds, I assume our foxy friend is also holding onto that.

Eisalka and Sionnach, there are scrolls of the following - bull's strength x2, comprehend languages, darkness, find traps, fog cloud (and the cmw already mentioned.) Not sure who can use which...

Potions! Cure light wounds x3, magic weapon, invisibility, and fly. I'd like to grab a cure lite, no real interest in the others.

last is the nonstandard gear- bracers of armor +1, mw longsword, mw breastplate. My AC is OK so I'll defer to the rest for this gear. There's also shuriken, long bow, dagger, other stuff and gold. I'm assuming we'll just divvy up any gold at the end, unless there's an undead-run magic shop in this place, in which case we should let Sionnach do the talking :)

I can use the bull's strength scrolls. I think each of the rest of you should carry a potion just in case.

Man will hold onto any of the scrolls that Sionnach can't use. I wouldn't mind grabbing the bracers of armor +1 for him as well.

Sounds good to me on all accounts. I'll take the potion of fly if no one else wants it. Flying dwarves are H I L A R I O U S!

I need none of the treasure, you guys go nuts!

How many minutes have past from the last room and this? Not sure if Shield is still up.

I think your shield should still be up for this fight, unless everyone just rolls 1's for a few dozen rounds.

First time back on the boards, read the adventure so far ...

nice battle with the Aspis .... like Jib your new investigator ...

good luck guys .. especially now you've found an unfriendly undead .. :-)

Real fun ... I'll come back and read the rest later ..

Hey Khairam! Good to hear from you! You're always welcome to pop in and say hi. Hope you enjoy reading the rest of the hand when it's done!

Khairam! Nice to see you again, my friend! Hope things in RL land are going well and you can be back to the fun of gaming again soon :=)

Hey folks, having a bad weekend. Will post when I can.

Take care of the important things first, MP, we'll be here.

I would have told you RL comes first, but Akri beat me to it ;=)

Precisely! Take your time.

Post is up! Sorry for the delay, and thanks for your patience, everyone! Barring any other unforeseen circumstances, I shouldn't take 2 weeks for the next post. c:

Life happens, not to worry!

Hey all-

I'm going to be spotty at best from July 12-25. I'm on vacation in Scotland for a fantastic wedding for my wife's sister and her Scottish husband for 2 weeks. WiFi is a challenge, so I'll check in as best I can.

Akri is focused in on the pharaoh if you need to bot me, GM MP. The last rolls are his base numbers including bull's strength plus flanking (that +2). He can fly (potion) and would position to grant flanking to others.

So if action hinges on me and I'm not in touch please bot Akri. He is fearless!

Still here state-side, maybe we get it done before then!

Thanks for the update! I'll bot you if/as needed. :)

Enjoy you time this side of the pond when you fly over, will need more than a potion Akri ... :-)

Back! Scotland was AMAZING! Such a beautiful country and wonderful people!

Good to hear! Sorry for the slow update, but I'm working on the next post! It should be up this weekend!

Glad you're back, Akri, and glad this game's still going :=)

I will be unavailable essentially the whole weekend, as my wife and I are going to a wedding and then have our own 5th anniversary celebration. I will resume normal posting Monday night or at worst Tuesday morning.

Thanks for the heads up! I think I only have one more post to go to sum up the ending, possibly two? I'll try to get some good stuff in there over the long weekend.
