Apologies for not posting yesterday. Paizo's forums were offline pretty much every time I checked. Will have a new post up soon.
No worries. It affected us all.
I will be away for both of the next two weekends. I should still be able to post at points during both, but less regularly than usual for me at weekends.
The site has been a bit wonky the past couple of days.
Oh well, these things happen.
Today was the (BIG) release of the Playtest for PF2 and the announcement of it at GenCon.
They were making some site changes, adding a new forum, and preparing for massive download demands.
It's been wonky because there's been a great deal of backend work going on.
Ah, yeah, that makes sense. I'm completely out of the loop regarding PF2.
Things seem back to normal now, anyhow, so that's nice.
@Theshen: no problem, thanks for letting us know =)
I've also had some server problems off and on the past couple of days at my end too.
That's cut into the number of posts I would've made otherwise...
Hi all. Unfortunately I have some bad news for the group. Asmani's player has written to me this weekend, apologising for their prolonged absence and saying that they will be very busy with IRL matters for the foreseeable future. Taking that into consideration, they believe it is best to have Asmani to fade away, as otherwise there will always be danger of disrupting the flow of the game (e.g. during combat).
Though I am extremely saddened by this, as I have previously played with this person and really enjoyed it, I completely understand their decision.
Subjective matters aside, this means we currently have a magus, a bard, an investigator and an oracle. Though not exactly the most orthodox lineup, I believe we can make it work, at least for the remaining encounter in this scenario.
My suggestion is that we continue with the group as is until the end of this scenario.Then, if we feel the need, we can open a recruitment thread for a new rogue.
That's too bad. So thoughtful of them to let you know and not just fade away.
I'm good with however you want to run it.
Works for me!
Shame. This RL stuff is a bit of a bother. But, can't be helped.
I'm okay for carrying on as is.
We seem to have a jack-of-all-trades team for now, though. That should stand us all in good stead for now at least.
Small correction: when I wrote
I believe we can make it work, at least for the remaining encounter in this scenario.
I actually meant
I believe we can make it work, at least for the remaining encounters in this scenario.
There are 3.5 tasks for the torch remaining =)
Also, just a reminder: please feel free to PM me about any concerns or feedback you might have but do not feel comfortable sharing here in the discussion thread. I'm happy to help whenever I can.
It's a pity that Asmani's player will be unavailable, but they did the right thing and informed you.
I think we can manage for now.

Hey everyone, it's a testament to how busy my RL is that it's taken me this long to step in here to say goodbye. I really regret not holding up my end of the game as I'd hoped, especially because everyone here's so great and the DM's killer, but - yeah. I've been posting less and less and it just feels right to pull the plug and allow someone more active to take my spot.
Best of luck everyone, and thanks for the rp!
Take care Asmani, and it was great having you around!
Thanks for everything, Asmani, It was lovely having you around!
Hope to bump into you again soon =)
It's been fun, Asmani.
Good luck with the RL stuff you've got happening.
Hope you find your way back to online RP in the future!
If she doesn't make a move today I will move things forward anyhow. Hopefully she will be a bit more active once we're in combat, as it will be a tough fight otherwise.
Yes, sorry. Past few days were a whirlwind of coming home, catching up with people, major apartment cleaning and such.
Busy, busy!
A bit on the busy side here too...
I've had a toothache the past few days and found out I therefore need a NEW root canal.
I'm very excited about that! :P
I'm less keen on the inevitable wallet massage, though. :'(
Ouch!
Ouch is right! But can't ignore it either.
It also reminds me of something Daffy Duck once said:
"I don' like pain; it hurts me"! :D
Gods, finally I managed to access this site. It was completely unreachable for me the past two evenings.
Will post something ASAP, before the forums go offline again.
@Sorkesh: damn, that sounds terrible. Hopefully you'll get some sweet painkillers and enjoy the inebriating magic of modern medicine.
Real life and the site have been tag teaming my posting...sorry all.
It's been a similar story for me.
@ GM Omelas; it actually got a bit worse. :P
The bad tooth caused an infection under the right side of my chin.
Yay! (sarcasm!) :P
So now I'm on antibiotics AND dental pain killers.
Worst part was I had to miss my brother's regular Friday night game because of this. Grrrrrr... (as well as some whining and whinging, of course)
Hasn't been my best summer as far as health goes.
But, oh well, could be worse. Always gotta look on the bright side! :D
May your Remove Disease be effective. ;)
Is this thing finally working?
EDIT: finally. I'll try to give Shu-kri some time before posting on gameplay.
Gah, sorry, I thought I was waiting for initiative. On it!

It rises from the sands!
Ok, maybe this time it rises.
I'm going to be afk until next Tuesday. I'll catch up with everything then.
Well, the site seems to have risen up from ... something ...
Well it's been entire days since it's crashed. ;)
That was hard crash indeed, poor devs. I just hope they didn't have to do much overtime, or that at least it wasn't unpaid overtime.
In any case, it's still a bit wobbly from my side – I could access it yesterday, but kept getting errors when trying to post things.
I will put something up shortly in a bit.
Back for now.
And then down and then up again. But I finally managed to see the gameplay thread long enough to roll the dice and post something, so I've got that going for me.
Anyway, two things:
* it just came to me I'm using colours to identify similar enemies, but I didn't check if anyone here had any sort of colour blindness. If so, let me know (and the what colours I should avoid);
* I'll be completely away from the keyboard between 2018-09-02 and 2018-09-11. Terrible timing with all these server problems, sorry. Hopefully we will be out of combat by then =)
I've no colour blindness.
And don't worry. After the recent forum issues, I think we'll be glad just to have an idea when the game will move on again. :)
Back, and ready to start again. Will take a look this evening at the game thread
No colour blindness here either.
Just glad to see the site seems to bee back on track.
Even though I was having every so much fun reviewing ancient Greek and Latin grammar, without interruption, before classes resume on the fifth.
Less enjoyable, though, was getting another root canal!
Wouldn't have been so bad if the dodgy tooth hadn't infected my jaw as well.
Oh well, that's what antibiotics are for!
At least they didn't have to amputate my head to prevent the infection spreading! :D
(sorry, been watching too much Monty Python again...)
Ye gods!
So, how is everyone? It's been quiet here for a few days now.
May be waiting til the 11th or 12th I imagine.
All's well here so far.
Hi all! Just got back from my holidays.
Unfortunately, I also came back to a message from Rawiya saying that, due to a medical emergency, she won't be available for at least three weeks, possibly more. She does intend to return, but of course it's hard to give precise estimates with those things.
At this point I'm unsure about what to do. The way I see it, our options are:
1. Put Rawiya on hold until she returns and move forward with three PCs;
2. We put up a new recruitment thread;
3. We interrupt the session either until she comes back.
#1 could be doable, but makes us all very vulnerable to delays in posting.
#2 is not something I can do immediately, as there's quite a lot happening IRL for the next 2 or 3 weeks. It's definitely an option, though.
#3 is dangerous as I'm afraid that interrupting a campaign indefinitely will mean interrupting it for good. It might make sense, however, if anyone else is struggling to find the time to post.
I hope Rawiya is well soon.
My favoured options would be 1,3 and 2 in that order.
I agree with Theshen.
Maybe botting Rawiya (with her permission, of course) is another option....
@Sorkesh: Rawiya did say she was fine with that, but quite honestly it's not something I feel I can properly do now (due to RL being particularly busy) and it's not something I would want to force upon other players.
@Shu-kri: do you have any preference on this matter?
If all three of you are fine with us moving along with 3 PCs, I will make the necessary adjustments and move the action forward.
I'm good whatever we choose. I hope Rawiya feels better soon.
Let's move on and if things get hairy maybe we should recruit someone we know is a good poster.
@ GM Omelas: fair enough
I'm okay with carrying on with three PCs for the time being...
