I have my brothers laptop for now so I can start catching up and there seems to be a fair bit. I go away for a few days and no there are massive spiders. I should be up in initiative when I wake up.
Tragershen, I approve of your flowchart-style post. :) And haste of course. :D
But Tal... you're 60 ft (at least) away from Tragershen right now... and his Haste has a 35 ft radius...
Nooooooooo!
On the plus side, you're allies should have NO problem catching up to you!

Urge to use crossbow and avoid dying: strong.
Urge to benefit from Haste extra attack: stronger.

It's really been over a year, huh? Time flies when you're having fun rolling dice! You've been a great DM Parrot, and fates willing I'm hoping we'll have many more posts ahead of us in this deadly delve!

Great game everyone; still more to see!

"Sticking it out" has been an absolute pleasure! You've been doing a great job breathing life into the world and making the NPCs vibrant. I think it speaks well that those that have dropped have been due to RL priorities and nothing else.

Huzzah! Here’s to many more in-game months.

I'm loving this campaign and party. More of this!

"Dying is bad for your health. Please stop trying to die."
Shortest TED Talk ever!

But it is helpful anyways. Short, sweet, and to the point.

Meanwhile, Just Outside Rappan Athuk dot png... a quick little doodle.
Got to get all the memes in before somebody actually gets eaten by a giant spider.
Amazing!!
To all my games, two pieces of news:
1) I'm currently job hunting, though that is going well. That said, I might have less free time than usual.
2) I'll be at a gaming convention this weekend, so I'll likely be less active online.
Good luck, Tal! Glad it's going well. I'm job hunting, too.
I hope you don't perish while you're away!
Cheers!
Ugh. Job hunting is one of my least favorite things. Good luck to you both!
Best of luck with that.
Recently I've been bit by a horrible, terrible bug...
... the desire to spring clean.
It's actually been quite nice to declutter spaces that haven't been decluttered in far too long, and I've found so many nice little things that were either buried in the clutter or hidden away in difficult shelves or cabinets — there's something undeniably Americana about a cookie jar shaped like a vintage Coke vending machine, but also about finding knives where knives should not be. The downside is all the bug bits I'm coming into contact with and the spiders I am once more warring with IRL.
We live in an 850 ft rental, so we are in a constant battle against stuff. But the basement. The basement is still the landlord's territory. When the furnace broke, we spent a lot of time down there for a week. She told me to find a big white box. I dug through years of trash and found a freakin' treasure chest of wood painted white. Inside was an entire mammoth's jaw including teeth that she found on a beach 40 years ago. I'm finally high enough level to stumble on really interesting loot.
I'm now helping her donate the bones to the university museum.
Anzath continues to face off with her spider. Still under the effects of the venom in her blood, she steadies herself and focuses on her foe, waiting for it to expose a weakness.
Aw, don't worry brave warrior. You'll get plenty more chances to reap the rewards of Trag's haste. Unless, of course, you die here. Then I'll be sure to drop a little shave licorice root on your grave. Its the least I can do. You're welcome. :)

What a fantastic find! We just moved into a 114 year old home, but it has been remodeled so I don't think we'll be finding any marvelous treasures beyond the original hardwood floors. But hope springs eternal!
Despite the fact that we had a dusting of snow this morning, it is time for us to start spring cleaning.
Public service announcement/reminder: you've found two ways to bring back a corpse already. The sketchy "necromancer" in the town, Ullman, is reputed to bring back the dead for a fee. The stone head statue in the dungeon claimed to be able to do the same.
And there's always a new character/taking over an NPC and upgrading them to PC status! Depends on what's most fun for the deceased.
what are you trying to say?
I feel like i missed something....off to my SFS game!
I return!
The weekend was good fun, if tiring. Met with friends, practiced swords at a HEMA demo, and finally got to play Mage: the Ascension.
And...hmmm. Talathel is not looking well.
If he perishes, I can take over one of the locals until the elf warrior gets resurrected, or I can plausibly bring in a replacement.

Oh, ya know, I'm just sayin'...

I wish I was high enough level to find interesting loot. All I got is assorted jars, cooking utensils, a plastic figure painting kit whose enamels have all separated, and a rented racket my dad stole (by mistake, I'm sure) from the AFB he used to work at.
[...]practiced swords at a HEMA demo[...]
I'm jealous! We don't have much of that fun historical stuff where I live, except for a few short entertainment shows at the yearly state faire.
People are getting cool loot and there are sword fights.. I wanna swing a sword and find some cool jawbones. I suppose that is why I love fantasy games so much..
The random stuff in houses sounds cool!
HEMA was good fun, not something I'd gotten to try before. It turns out that there is a weekly meetup in Galway, so I might check that out once job hunting is done with.
I do enjoy me some fantasy games. :)
Er...didn't Aurora's delay poison stop the progress of the spider venom?
It did! ...for Anzath.

*rereads*
Bugger.
Talathel's CON is down as much as my reading comprehension!
In better news, I have an interview tomorrow. :)
For whatever reason, Aurora decided to save Anzath before Tal. Hopefully she can get to you next round?
Congrats on the interview! I've got one on Friday.
Good work getting interviews, you two! Best luck with them, and I hope your employment mojo proves contagious. With English prof jobs, it's hard to even get an interview. I've had one in two years of applying.
Triage is a scary creature... especially in a world with giant spiders who have terrifyingly lethal con damage venom with a DC that seems fairly bulky.
I'm dying to know what's gonna happen! Talathel, if you're out there, put me out of my misery.
Or should I use different figures of speech? Too early? Too soon?
Shrodinger's Elf?
We're all ashiver with antici...
I really don't want to bot a key scene...
...pation.
No worries! We know Tal's player has RL craziness right now, and I'm glad to wait for his part of the scene.

Everyone knows that dwarves are pillars of patience.
It's all good...lol
It's been a tiring few days. Prior job finished and been busy. Sorry for not catching up sooner!
That said, it looks like this elf is still kicking. :D
I hope your interview went well!
Mine was the best I've had so far. I'm pretty sure the job is mine if I want it but I'm waiting for a callback from the company owner. It's weird early morning hours, and an hour commute both ways, which I'm not sure about, but... well opportunities have been few and far between so far.
So much good news! I've got a table full of gamers from my other game right now, will post later!
We are having our 4th annual mini-con (Econ 104), so will post later.
