My apologies for being a bit a slow lately. I've been looking for work, and it takes a lot out of me.
Absolutely no worries, DM, and best of luck with your search.
Very understandable, especially during a global pandemic. Good luck, and stay safe.
No one understands better than I how real life can impact gameplay right now. Take all the time you need. :)
*nods*
*offers hugs and luck*
As a fairly absent player due to life getting in the way I understand. No worries. Just take care of yourself.

hahahahahaha! I forgot we were in an alchemy room.
Did I kill us all?
I wonder if there's a chain reaction system for governing explosions in alchemy labs... should prove fun!
it was in the middle and should only hit the wasps. Were they hurting us over a bunch of equipment?
Sorry, but does anyone else want to take their turn? I really don't have the energy to bot this many people.
Sorry, thought I posted on Friday.
Sorry I vanished. An ice storm took out my internet. Im at a friend's right now and im using theirs. Hopefully it will be back this week
Be safe!
You have Suddenlink?
And yeah, be safe.
I think we're just missing Zaijka, right? Maybe give her a bot?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Done. Thanks again for botting Nisany, Vibenia! It helps me a lot.
LOOT FROM PENTOSH:
- two vials of a greenish, semi-vaporous fluid (magical)*
- a chain shirt (magical)**
- a flail (magical)***
- a cloak shaped like the wings of a bat (magical)****
- 92 gp
Pentosh also carried a lot of other vials, which Nisany recognises as various extracts, bomb catalysts, and a single dose of mutagen. You can't really use any of them, unfortunately. There's also a formula book containing all her known extracts, but I don't believe you can use it for anything either.
Cloak of the bat!
Can I retire Bernard real quick and create an assassin who gets that item? Can I? Oh man. What a cool item.
Nah, have Bernard wear it and go full Darkwing Duck.
Someone can roll Spellcraft for Nisany and/or Zaijka if they want. I assume they are still busy/prevented from posting.
Ouch! How long am I staggered for?

DAAAAMMMNNN!!!
Ouch! How long am I staggered for?
Until you rest or you're healed:
For every day of bed rest (or 2 nights of normal rest), a victim recovers one step; this recovery is doubled as normal by Heal checks, and tenacious poisons might require a longer recovery period.
Usually, neutralize poison or remove disease immediately moves the victim to a healthy state on the respective track, and a heal spell will work for both.
I'm unsure as to your current resources, but Azmur is able to cast neutralize poison if needed. You know how to contact him.
*scheduled nudge*
How's everyone doing? We're really close to the end, but I do still need input to get us there. At this point, you could literally go fight the dragon any time you want, though of course at the cost of being less prepared for the encounter. Still, it might be good to weigh the risks of that option against the very real possibility of us running out of steam before we get there. Having the stuff from Lady Tula's tomb is already a huge equaliser.
Also, just to check in, are Nisany and Zaijka still around? Assuming you are, can we get a little status update? No pressure (really, real life comes first!), but having two out of five players inactive does slow things down considerably, so I'd like to get all hands back on deck—if at all possible—as soon as possible.
If there's no feedback to the contrary, I'll proceed tomorrow-ish with the assumption that you leave a message for Azmur to come heal Bernard's poisoning, and go seek out the naga while you wait for him to notice and meet you in the chapel.
Sorry for the lack of posting, been mentally exhausted for awhile (though hopefully that'll get better soon), and coming to the boards to post updates in my games has felt more like work than fun, so extra energy needed there (not just this game, all of mine).
Here and good to keep going.
I'm good to go. Been a bit busy chaos in real life (fridge dies two months outside of warranty, liscensce renewal with new DMV protocols), a looming deadline on a writing project, and recent storms across the US (I work social media for a nationwide cable/telecommunications company...it's been insane)
Should be back on track shortly.
I'll throw a PM in Nisany and Zaijka's direction.
No response so far. I'm not overly excited at the prospect of recruiting anyone at this point in the adventure, but we might need to get at least one person to reinforce the team—that, or I buff Viterri and she can tag along, despite her protests.
Thoughts?

*scratches head*
The issue with that is Viterri is a melee character, and it's our casters that are missing.
I'll continue to play Nisany as needed. Was a bit pr-occupied with wrapping up a project but I'll get a few posts in today.
I'm up for recruiting a new caster. Conversely, since we're so close to the end, I'm up for making a second pc just to get us over the finish line. Recruiting at this stage might be a hard sell.
The issue with that is Viterri is a melee character, and it's our casters that are missing.
Right, I hadn't thought about that. I suppose Viterri combined with Bot-Nisany might be enough, but I wouldn't want to straddle anyone with multiple characters—especially Vibenia, since you already have an animal companion to worry about. Do you really feel up for it?
You have a good chance of having Azmur with you in the final battle, which should make up for the lack of casters at that point. Of course, there's still things to do before that (though how many things is entirely up to you).
I'll keep with it for now and let you know if it gets to be too much.

Okay, then we'll move ahead with Vibenia botting Nisany, and Viterri as back-up. I'll give her a few more levels so she can keep up.
I won't be actively scouting for new players, but if any of you can think of someone who would be interested joining a game that's so close to completion, you're free to invite them.
Trying to figure a response. The conversation has gotten so weird
Sorry for the radio silence. I was in the hospital with covid. I just got discharged. It might take me a few says to get caught up. The fatigue and brain fog are so strong.
f&*!ing f$%&, I'm glad you're recovering.
*sends positive feelings and ghost hugs*
Damn!! I'm sorry to hear that you caught it, but glad you're still with us. I know it's a rough thing to go through.
Feel better, don't hesitate to head to a doctor if anything takes a turn.
Oof. That's rough, but I'm glad you're still around and out of the hospital. Vibenia is already on stand-by to bot Nisany if needed, so don't overdo it.
Hang in there, Nisa you. Feel better!

Twas rough but Im glad to be home. The mental fog and fatigue are really strong so I am slowly playing catch up. I am usually read a few posts and then I stop when I need to start rereading them. I cant wait for my ability to focus easily to be back.
Weren't we trying to discover the dragon's real name? What have we accomplished with the naga other than acquiring the cap?
Syksy, based on what Thaena has said, has come to the conclusion that Aeteperax's real name is Szangi. This is a reasonable deduction.
I do want to point out that—while you have at least momentarily befriended her—you have not removed Thaena as a threat, as suggested by Azmur. As one of the dragon's liutenants, she will come to his side when he is in danger.
Ah! I thought that was a pet name :P
Just to make sure: do you want to go right back to Thaena, or do something else before you do? It'd probably work to your advantage to wait for a while, to make it more plausible you've met with Aeteperax and talked to him. There's at least one more liuetenant to deal with, and plenty of rooms to explore.
Next lieutenant, though my posting will be slow through to next Monday.
Happy holidays, all!
Okay. I'm unlikely to get in a post until the weekend, as well, for obvious reasons.
I wish everyone a peaceful midwinter!
*nudge*

Caught up. Sorry it took me so long. I'm a lot less foggy headed but I am returning to work so I might be slow sometimes.
Is it ok that Nisany has Life Link on Skysy and Bernard before the fight? Since we knew we where headed towards a fight?
