New Spell daylight or Fly?

Go for fly. Gail can pray for Daylight.

I'm taking the family off on holiday from Saturday till 29th August. We're going on a cruise so there'll be days where I don't have internet. I'll try to post when I can but it's probably best to bot me as needed.

Hello,

the next 2 weeks i will have scarce to no internet access.
Please bot as needed.

I reread the reading again last night but didn't come up with anything new, however it had been a long day. Malthorn's last post was made without the benefit of seeing Niles last post. Can someone else reread the reading and see what it is I'm missing....<feeling a bit dense this morning :) >

Could the words on the door be the command name for the suit of armor??? Just a stab in the dark...

That's my guess.

Sorry I looked here first and answered, then saw your posting in-game..lol

Actually i was on a holiday.
If you don´t want me to proceed, then thanks for the nice gaming time.
Please kindly remove me from active players then though.
Else i´m ready to proceed.

@Kassimir I looked at your other aliases and saw posts from 6-8 days ago but nothing here so I assumed you weren't coming back

Just took some more time to read this.

I'm flying to Montreal on business tomorrow, returning Wednesday/Thursday. It's not a super long flight (7h 30 or so) but I'm really tired so I may not post till Monday depending on how I feel. I'll try and get a post up before I go, but tonight I'm going to spend with my wife.

Anyone here interested in doing PFS/SFS scenarios PBP?

Decided i´m going to run one soon again.

I've leveled Gail up. I don't think very much changed apart from getting 4th level spells which seem a bit underwhelming. Anyway onward and upwards!

Malthorn Level 7
standard +6 hp
+1 additional spell known Dimension Door, dropped Counterspell for Fire Shield

still only able to cast 2 spells per rest, able to cast them as level 4 though

+1 additional invocation Agonizing Blast - add Charisma bonus to damage on Eldritch Blast

@Malthorn Sure, 1/day Darkness seems kinda...minor.

it would be once per short rest, winds up being a total of 3 per day, still situational in the long run. thanks

the intent it to use it centered on himself in conjunction with Devils sight (ability to see in both normal and magical darkness)

Ozgo is updated now as well. Can now protect people close to him from charm!!! Could come in handy!!
I also added the Holy Symbol to Ozgo's inventory...I hope the party is ok with that??

Sounds good to me Ozgo

Ok, so I have some awesome news, and some not so awesome news.

Awesome news. I was accepted and appointed as Principal of a nearby elementary school.

Not so awesome news. That means for the foreseeable future I'll be insanely busy. I'm not saying I'm dropping this one, but I AM saying it is a possibility if I can't keep any semblance of a predictable pace.

Congrats, Niles!!!

I've no issue with that...

Fantastic news Niles!! You do what you have to do...love your games and will play whenever you are able!!

Congrats and oh wow you're near the only bit of Louisiana I've heard of. Of course that's Avery Island due to Tobasco.

That's like literally 10 minutes away from me. We go a few times a year to different events they host.

Congratulations!
A slow and steady game is still a fine game^^

Well I'm off on holiday for a week, my posting will be a bit slower.

Please guys just bear with me a few more days. I promise. I'll be back.

Just to inform everyone, after knowing D&D5 better now and with a friendly yes from our kind GM i transformed Kassimir into a College of Lore Bard.
I believe this suits me more as a player and the group as well.

I´ll be on a heavy work and traveling schedule the next 1.5 needs, my posting might be influenced.
Please bot as needed.

Hey all, just a heads up, will be leaving on a family vacation next week. Will not have access during the cruise to update, so from this Sunday until next Sunday I will have no access to internet, please bot as needed to progress.

I'll be leaving for Mexico on Sunday 6/17 and returning Sunday 6/24. I *might* have internet there and be able to post. But we will probably go pretty dark for a week.

Thanks for letting us know!

Hi guys, going up to a cottage for a week and I'm unsure about how much connectivity I'll have, so please bot as needed.

Going on a journey with probably limited internet access for ~3 weeks.
Will try to get some posts in, but please bot as needed.

I'm taking the family off on holiday till Aug 2nd. I'll have intermittent (slow) internet so my posting might be less frequent than usual so please bot as needed.

Hi Guys,

Recent events have had me re-evaluating my commitment to the games I'm currently involved with here on these boards.

As you've probably noticed I've had a few noticable absenses this summer, again due to the fact I've become quite
a bit more busy, usually leading to a rushed decision late at night...do I logon and get some posts in?

Ultimately, it began to feel more like a job than a hobby...<< I have to get a post in...don't want to hold the game up >>

It slowly dawned on me that I just wasn't looking forward to posting, even though I enjoy each of the games I'm in immensely.

When something you enjoy becomes something you don't, it's time to re-evaluate.

Though it's a hard decision, I've decided to take a hiatus from the boards.

Apologies to players and GMs leaving you in the lurch, so to say.
Extra thanks to GMs for allowing me in to your games.

Happy gaming and take care, Al.

Well crap.

I've had a hard time posting this week too.

Sorry to see you go Talus...but if it is no longer fun for you, then you are right to move on. Best of luck and I hope you can come back to the boards at some time and enjoy playing once again!

Daniel (Ozgo)

I know that feeling too, some days its such a chore to post after a hard day at work. Take care Talus, with luck things will get easier again in time.

Sad to see you go, have a good time though!

Checking in again.

I'm flying on business to Canada for 10 days, so there will be a couple of travel days I can't post (although the hotel and the office will have WiFi). Still with all the forum downtime nobody will notice anyway...

Guys, I'm really sorry. I'm going to have to call this one. I'm struggling to find time to make the briefest of posts in games I'm playing on...much less GMing.

I really am sorry I couldn't finish this one.

No worries Niles. It happens. Maybe sometime in the future, we can revisit it! Was a wonderful game!

Yeah was pretty fun and thanks for gming so far!
Hope you can find more time again soon.

Aww too bad, guess I saw this coming though. Thanks for running it Niles. Anyway in conclusion I don't like 5e that much. I dislike the bounded accuracy and the cantrips and the upcasting.

Thanks. I like 5E, but I'm very much looking forward to Pathfinder 2.0. I like what ive seen so far.

Thanks. I like 5E, but I'm very much looking forward to Pathfinder 2.0. I like what ive seen so far.

PF2 could be a good game, but I really dislike the 50% success rating thing for /optimized/ characters. This is a common complaint and I wouldn't be surprised if the designers come up with a fix.
