GM OfAnything's Port Godless (Inactive)

Game Master terraleon

I'd suggest we hold off a little due to the site issues.

we can message Hmmm and see if she can rustle us up a replacement gm to finish out the scenario for us.

and on that note, just in case things DO get going again:

Just got home from the vet. Had to say goodbye to a dear companion kitty today. I'm a wreck and may or may not post later. Tomorrow morning I leave on a 4 day retreat, so my posting may be spotty if at all during those four days. Please bot me as necessary... sorry and thanks.

I'm up for a replacement GM or just ending the game if we have done the minimum to get credit for the scenario.

Sorry to hear that. Been there myself. My condolences.

I really like the scenario. I suspect we've done enough to get 1PP, but I'd like to see it through to a proper ending.

I too would like to get resolution.
With the latest patch in place and the humble bundle having gone through its initial burst of activity, I'm hoping some of the site stability issues will go away and our GM will return to posting.

I suspect Hmm would want to give him a couple more days given the site issues before seeking a replacement.

I would give our GM a couple days. Say until Friday evening. After that, we'll just have to find a GM that is willing to help us finish the scenario.

That sounds like a reasonable timeframe.

I'm randomly lurking on this thread, just happily stalking your GM =)

Because, cats =)

I've rescued before, and can do so again.

-Ben.

I'm not sure if someone who writes (or these days, I guess,, wrote) sparc assembly is fit to GM. We'll all be rotating our stacks in each change of context.

Sorry, former Solaris SA here, who had the misfortune of trying to write Sparc assembly code many, many years ago. In theory the register push was real nice. Maybe it worked better for compiler designers than hand crafters.

In all seriousness, having a rescue by the author would be awesome.

I happily second that notion. We'd love you to step in, Ben.

I’m amendable to Ben stepping in. Thanks.

Me too, thankyou.

me too! Thanks, Ben.

Alright, if there's no action by your GM by Monday morning, I'll go through the process and we'll get started.

-Ben.

(RE: SPARC assembly, it was the thing I hated second-most in college, actually, but I find it's much easier to use than x86 assembly. Solaris has some very awesome features in dtrace, SolarisCAT, and ZFS, but that's neither here nor there. Now, I work with Sustaining more than Development. It's not dead, but it's feeling like it's approaching torpor.)

Ok, I'm not seeing any movement, so I'll get the process underway, do some reading tonight, and post next actions.

If they show up, I'll give it back.

-Ben.

OK, I've messaged your GM, but gotten no response, which is weird, as they've posted three times elsewhere in the forums yesterday. :/

Well, that's about as much as I suppose we can do, I'm not going to worry about it further and we'll get this show on the road.

-Ben.

Please verify your position on the maps, and if someone could confirm the tier for me?

It appears you've faced Sophini and a xill at this time, along with some summoned creatures.

That is high tier with 4 character adjustment. Slightly less worrying for a front liner sitting at the bottom of the level range, but only slightly.

This appears to be the tier? You can "favorite" this post to respond.

Happy with position on map Ben.

Turathal and Drokk are wanting to know from Jahani whether she wants to flee now, or come along with us and help find the remaining two Riftwardens. If the former, I believe Turathal intends to leave with her. If the latter, he'll be rejoining us before we open the door (and perhaps wouldn't have moved to the exit in the first place).

Bones’ location is fine. And high tier with 4 adjustment is correct.

Agreed. Although are we certain there are 2 remaining Riftwardens that need rescuing? I thought that number was still in question (i.e. Jahani gave us a four finger signal that had me wondering if we had everyone). We've already emptied all the cells and have been everywhere in this lower level except the remaining door we're clumped around.

For the sake of speeding re-entry, Turathal would've done his best to convince Jahani it'd be best for her to leave regardless, and he would escort her to safety while the rest of the group would look for the rest of her team. If she insists on staying, Turathal stays.
take ten diplo=28

And Turathal will use Mage Armor charge on Jahani and any other Riftwardens found. (I believe she's been healed up)

I'm still here, I just have nothing more to add, except my agreement.

ditto.

Great!

Ok. then I'll get to it.

-Ben.

*sigh* Ok, Anything seems to left this in a cockup of a state, as there were various things that would/should have happened, which apparently did not. I'm writing up a current state post, making sure I have all my ducks in a row. You'll all have your post in just a couple hours.

Ok, new post made. This'll be our starting point and I'll make it roll from here with some adjustments.

Thanks again for jumping in, especially during the big finale with clock ticking...

I've completed the steps for transferring this. Now I wait for customer service. Otherwise, we'll continue to use the map, and switch over if necessary, but only if.

I believe that a metamagic'd spell "full round action" is distinct from a 1 round casting.

Spells that take a full-round action to cast take effect in the same round that you begin casting, and you are not required to continue the invocations, gestures, and concentration until your next turn. For spells with a longer casting time, it takes an extra full-round action to cast the metamagic spell.

linky

Could be important :o

Great, and that answers a different question I was looking at, too. Thanks. So, as soon as we have Hakime's and Iso's initiative, I'll proceed.

Sorry for the delay. Husband is in surgery today.

Ack! I'm sorry, I hope it's quick, uncomplicated, and successful! :D Take your time, we've got nothing but time.

argh, sorry, my TZ causes problems with this group of fast posters! Onto it now.

If you are even just waiting on me, please use the Botme for combat unless you think that Iso would regard it as suicidal.

Not an issue. I think we're good for a while. I know you all have been waiting patiently, and so now we've got things rolling.

And I'd add that I'm loathe to take away someone's chances at rolling, especially for initiative, since that's a primary way to express your agency in the game, but now that we're in motion, I'll follow your bot choices.

Not dead, just resting.

Sorry, folks. The weekend kicked the stuffing out of me. I'll have a post for you in the morning.

-Ben.

No worries. Thanks a heap for letting us know. Hope there was at least some fun stuffing-kicks.

You are not abandoned. I'll have our catchup to top of order post today. The holiday got in here, but I'm using it to get squared. It'll be there as the wife goes shopping and I hang with the kids. I'm very sorry for the delay and it'll be smoother at this point forward as we have monsters bookending the group, and that'll allow for bursts of posts.

Again, very sorry.

-Ben.

Hakaam, please check your PMs.

Thanks,

-Ben.

Turathal, check your PMs, please.

Ben, thank you for taking over the scenario. As a friend of GM of Anything, I know that he’s going through a really bad patch right now. I appreciate you having done this rescue. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Hmm

Please give Ryan my best wishes Hmm.

I will. By the way, GM Glyn asked me what kind of deadline you have to finish this game. As an abandoned game, I will be VERY generous with you taking the time you need to finish it. Do you guys know if Ryan reported it? Or rolled for boons? If not, report it now to the official reporting form and roll for boons now. If you have corrections or revisions, you can send them to me later, but this will allow me to get the gameday closed officially. Thanks.

Please note in the notes that it was an abandoned game, and Ben, please also note that you are taking a Samsaran boon. State in there that GM Hmm gave you an extended deadline due to your special circumstances.

Have a good game.

Hmm

PS Ben, I will send you a link to the official reporting form. To roll for boons, roll a d20 for every person. If you get a 19 or a 20, roll a d4. The player boons are listed in order for the PFS boons on the reporting sheet.

Boon Roll: 1d20 ⇒ 1

Swing and a miss...

boon roll: 1d20 ⇒ 16

Iso dreams of the riches and fame that success will bring him.
boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 20 It is a very good dream!
what: 1d4 ⇒ 2 Anyone want to trade, I already have a mounted tradition from this GD, and with boon tracking, I'd prefer not to have two of the same.

boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 9 no love from the dice bot for Bones.

Congrats Iso!

boon: 1d20 ⇒ 10 Well, I got half of what I needed, lol...no boon love here today.
