I'm available and will check in multiple times a day to end this on a crescendo!
Also, FYI. I'm at OrcCon in Los Angeles. The convention was fun (as always) but a noticable decline on Pathfinder participation. Hopefully Paizocon is gangbusters!
(I know it's the weekend, but just so we can keep moving Monday, I think I'm still waiting for actions from Whiskey, Bronin and Lena.)
Sorry, I thought I posted on Friday. Wait, I did post on Friday! Curse you paizo forums!!!!!
Wait, I need to edit that post. I forgot I PfEviled us so I saved!!!!
Sorry for the delay; I know I said I wanted this last combat to be faster. We're buying a house, which has been bit of a time suck and distraction, not to mention work being insane right now, since we're down another editor (so not only am I picking up some of her work, but we're also taking more time to interview replacements!).

Oh no, our game that has been going for 8 years might take another couple of weeks to finish! Woe is me!
Don't worry about a thing, Mott. Just take care of yourself and your family and post when you can.

Hey all, so that's a wrap. I'm glad we were about to finish. I'll leave the game up for another week or so for any final chatter folks may want, but I don't expect to be pushing anymore game play ahead.
(Also, sorry, that final fight was a bit anti-climactic, I think. I should have thrown in a minion of some sort, considering there were six of you.)

Can I just say, playing from beginning to end has been a blast. Thanks to you all for this, players and GMs present and past.
Motteditor, the last fight was good. It was very satisfying to take him down, though I never got to cast the "mad monkeys" spell, which I was hoping for; for the lols
We have had 3 GMs (all very competent), and players passing through. It has been a great game, and I would play again with any of you. Call out to past characters Eldon the delusional bard and Arval the fearful fighter (ranger, I can't remember). But all the characters have been great.
Can I suggest that each of us write a short denouement for each character?
May all your rolls be crits

Yes indeed, thanks to everyone. Thanks to GM Spiderbeard for taking us through 5 books. Thanks to motteditor for taking over and pressing through to the end.
Special thanks to Vladlena who is the ONLY player to have been here from the beginning.
Wren - oh boy, what to say. You were a PITA and a blast to play with
Adder - The strong silent one, a nice change of pace with Wren and Bronin around
Bronin - never before have I so wanted to smack the supercilious pompousness out of a young noble, and yet wanted to keep traveling with him
Elena - Name confusion aside, I loved the way you played the "barmaid out of her depth but growing in power" character, and Potpie was the BEST supporting character ever!
Thanks for bringing me along folks. Very tough to join a long running AP, I know I didn't say much but life got very crazy for me a few years ago and hasn't stopped since.
Glad I could get you through the last 20 pages or so of module to cross the finish line. It was fun, with lots of great characters.
Whiskey, I have never seen a player write a Dwarven accent like you did! It was awe inspiring and makes me want to steal that idea for one of my campaigns!!!
Imitation is the best flattery.
I am glad that (disgraced) Lord Bronin shined through. His terrible flaws, and bad personality shined through, but also his desire to "do good" made it posible for you to keep traveling with him.
Thankfully you did, as I hope you saw a "Rupert" actually learn a few things about being a better human being. Plus, his total crush on Elena Nethermore provided awesome entertainment.

Ah Motteditor, thank you again for taking over and finishing all this. I can’t thank you enough. It was important to finish…because so many APs fail/falter/die, but you go us over the line. I owe you.
This completes with over 10k posts, and at least 3 GMs.
Vladlena, as mentioned, was the only start to finish player. I’m sure that she and Wren will probably remain pen pals for the rest of their lives, or until Lena finally gets sick of Wren’s babblings and decides to disintegrate her. No one would argue with the action.
As far as I can tell, WhiskeyJack joined…8 (EIGHT!?!) years ago.
Wren joined in July of 2015, seven piddlespotting years ago. She joined midway through book 2, which was keen because she played through the first book. And halfway through the second book when that game crashed. She was VERY happy to port over in almost the same spot.
It was four (!!?!) years ago, when Bronin, Adder, and Elena joined the game. I literally can’t believe it’s been four years with you all. Seems like…eh…just yesterday. Amazing.
Thank you Adder, Elena/Potpie, & Bronin for helping us finish this b~!!$@%+. You guys were great. Especially Potpie. She was the glue that kept us sane.
I know Wren (who is completely different than me) is a piece of work, but also she’s one of the funnest characters I’ve ever had to play (I hope she wasn’t too annoying for all y’all). Re-reading some of her ‘blahblahblah’ rambles still make me laugh because I have no idea what *I* was thinking when I wrote them this many years later. What is wrong with me/her? Seems like she had about 75+ ‘blahblahblah’ posts.
Wtf? Werewolves and Primae Noctis? Sure, completely normal stuff, I tell you.
Wren talking about W’Jack, and the party as it was at the time.
For those who like Dutch ovens.
And getting political in 2016. Sadly, we know how that turned out. ‘Absolam steamer.’
Gibbering mouthers to tomato soup.
Humans are disgusting as it turns out.
Second war of the flumphs?! There was a first one?!
Why was she saying this to Bronin? I don’t want to know.
The key is peaches, *not* pears.
I’m sure this is a good recipe.
Thank you all again. Good times. I’ll miss Wren. :(

Thanks everyone! I really had no idea where I wanted to go with Elena, but there was a few things I had in mind.
I hadn't played a witch yet and wanted to try them.
I wanted a familiar but I didn't want to have one that just disappeared behind the scenes, stuck in the robes the entire adventure to be forgotten about so I tried to have it enter combat as often as I could. That demon getting turned into a chicken and battling Potpie to the death was great!
I didn't want to make a hero, or natural adventurer. i wanted an everyday person just using their abilities as someone would. She used her magic and charm to keep the Inns she served at in order and to keep the customers calm long enough to keep ordering drinks.
