@Edo: I’m sorry to hear you’ve been so sick with COVID. Hope you feel better soon.
I am re-testing and hoping to recover tomorrow - tested positive and been at home since Tuesday last week.
Man, we're a collective mess! Here's hoping everyone feels better soon!
Still swimming in the infection!
Feel better soon, Liam.
Hope you all recover soon. I'm just a mess, but so far illness free - knock on wood!
I am utterly swamped though, so moving slow suits me just fine.

Just wanted to drop a note and wish everyone here a speedy recovery back to good health and wellness from wherever the holidays had taken you.
I'm back to 98%, still with an intermittent violent cough, but I've been released from quarantine and am back to (tele)work. I'll post some Edo actions soon.
Time has been running away from me, so my apologies. I'll post Reveka's action in the first round in my morning as I'm falling asleep at my computer. Night and thanks for your patience.
Hi everyone. I'm back. Work has lightened up, and I have bandwidth to post now. I've missed you and the games.
Good to have you back, Jayla.
Uhe, from your current position on the combat map, you can't move to flank and attack in the same round as you're too far away to do so. Enjoy your vacation!
Since Edo moved, Uhe could now move 30ft to flank with him and attack the creature. Uhe went before Edo in the initiative order, so I suppose he could wait until Edo moved to attempt the flank...
Hello. I've been unable to log in for several days. If you've had the same problem, try clearing the cookies in your browser.
I'll get to this game (and all my others) ASAP.
I broke both of my ankles this morning. We are visiting family on vacation. We were preparing to leave for home but that has since been delayed for some time now.
I do not have access to a computer. I am only able to use my phone for the foreseeable future.
Thank you.
Oh no, Uhe. Rest and recovery. Take care of you.
OW!!!!!
How did that happen?
Ow!!!!
Fell through the garage attic floor back down to garage proper. Not fun!
Worst. Vacation. Ever.
Hope you're back to (I imagine) dancing the lambada soon!
Sorry for my absence. An update paizo did at some point made it so my ID & password were not recognized; even trying a temp password did not work, had to get a hold of the staff. Because of their update, I had to clear my cookies to be able to sign back in.
Holy cow, double ankles... I thought I was bad with both my wrists, but... wow. Wish you the best.
Thank you! It is a bit of a bummer for certain.
Ouch! I fear that every time I am in my attic. Hope your recovery is fast and pain free, at least as much as can be.
Apologize to the table. I am finding it increasingly more difficult to keep current with my games. Having only my phone to post with is really a drag. I am in process of re-procurring my computer once my wife returns from home.
This accident has really disrupted my daily life and nothing is simple or easy these days.
I say all this just to ask for your patience during this time. I am NOT dropping any of my games. I enjoy every one of them. I enjoy all my fellow players and DMs.
Thank you all for allowing me this platform for gaming!
Now if only I could find a Cleric around here....
Gaming (long term) from phone can be frustrating, so I get it. Hope you're resting and healing ... and that your comp arrives soon to save your sanity.
Take care of you, Uhe.
Let's get a head count. Jayla is officially out and we'll write her out at the end of this chapter. What about Edo? Patrick, are you there?
Oh, sorry Jayla's player has left the game. Just as she had more time to play, too. Wishing her well on the boards and RL.
Wishing you many fond adventures, Jayla!
I just noticed that I didn’t take into account Edo’s enlarged size via Liam’s spell. Please adjust the stats as applicable, GM.

I'm here and will be until the end of this campaign. Sorry for being away for so long. I'm still trying to chase a professional certification that I attempted and failed last November. I recently finished up my second attempt and failed a second time. It's one of those things where it consumes all your free time until it has passed. I'll be making a third attempt on May 3rd so I might get scarce again by mid-April.
Sorry to hear it isn't going well for you, but third times a charm, right? Good luck!
Hang in there, Edo! I had to take the Bar Exam three times to pass. Which means nothing at all once you DO pass.
PS: 20 years later I'm so busy with work I'm turning it away.
When you pass the bar exam they don't tell you by how much. But when you fail, they do. I failed it by -1- point two times. :-(
GM, will lesser restoration fix the negative (-1) con dmg to Edo and Maffei? I don't want to waste the spells if they require restoration instead. Thanks!
@Edo: Best of luck with your professional certification.
@Uhe: How's the recovery going? The ankles still giving you a lot of pain?
Thank you for asking. Not as badly as the initial week. Going on Week 4 this Friday and not going in for orthopedic appointment until week 5!
I am a chef by trade. Not too many gigs grant health insurance, so this process has taken longer than if I had insurance.
Not fun.
A thank you to the mods for fixing the weird italics thing we had going on!

Your injury would be horrific for me, a white collar office worker whose feet are currently elevated on a foot rest at my desk. Chef? Dude, that's awful.
@Reveka: Thank you! It's work I enjoy doing, so it isn't tortuous to take the exam, apart from the fee to re-take it.
I'm confused by your confusion! :-) The wraith was Arturic. You saw him arise from the central sarcophagus.
I understand he's the wraith. But the tokens on the current map have been moved to the other chamber with the dragon mosaic tiles for some reason. I know I didn't move my token, so thus the confusion.
Reveka will search the central sarcophagus. Thanks!
@Brandor: Maffei also has CON damage. Do you wish to use one of your scrolls of restoration on her? I don't want to bot your guy incorrectly and take any liberties with your resources. Thanks!
Sorry - I have been hard pressed lately to even check in. You are always welcome to use my resources!
But as I have returned, yes - I will use it on Maffei.
Thanks, Brandor. I had your character give Reveka the restoration scroll and she used it on Maffei. :)
@Edo: It would have been nice had your guy thanked Reveka for the healing (healed Edo twice: once in and once out of combat) and the ability damage healing. I'm not scary to RP with. ;p
I'll be making an IC post tomorrow. Sorry for the hold up - between work, family, games and taking care of my son who contracted COVID via a co-worker (and my niece caught COVID from a school friend at the same time), my free time's been cut shorter than usual. Good news, after a week (today) my son has recovered for the most part (negative COVID test - just some sniffles remaining) and I've disinfected everywhere he's touched or lived in. So, I've been frazzled. lol
Reveka's in two minds about taking Arturic's gear. She doesn't want to be looked upon as a "grave robber" of sorts. Yet, the items would be useful to the party. Not sure what to do.

I would suggest the following distribution, but feel free to object!
Edo:
+1 glamered full plate armor (your the only one that can use it)
Ring of Major Acid Resistance
Wyrmsmite - a famous +2 dragonbane transformative longsword
Brandor:
+3 breastplate of Luck (as Banded Mail of Luck)
Liam:
Amulet of Natural Armor +1
Slippers of Spider Climbing.
Maximize Metamagic Rod
Reveka:
Mnemonic Vestment
Ring of Force Shield.
Uhe:
+1 Keen composite longbow (+2 STR)
10 +1 dragonbane arrows
Arrow of Dragon Slaying
Looks good to me; only Bards are not proficient with longbows.
The only person who could wield the longbow (still active in game) is Edo, as he has martial weapon proficiency. We've lost Jayla who was our ranged fighter and could truly have made use of those items.
No use giving Uhe the bow and arrows, if he isn't proficient.
Perhaps we can give Uhe the Ring of Major Acid Resistance. There is no use giving him the Ring of Force Shield as that is only a +2 to AC and he currently gets a +3 from his +1 Heavy Shield (Reveka can use the ring). Maybe Uhe could have the Mnemonic Vestment? He's a spontaneous caster, too.
I could give Reveka a level in Ranger (Divine Markman, Dragon Hunter) on next level and she could make use of the bow and arrows? The only problem is she can only see as far as 30 ft (normal and darkvision) and if the dragon is flying overhead, she can't see it until it's probably too late. ;p If she continues as Oracle - her sight increases to 60 ft on level 5. Unless GM Tarondor is willing to allow me to change Reveka's curse to make it more workable (either Tongues or Haunted)? Haunted may work if it could be something that came about from the recent encounter in Tula's crypt with the wraiths, like a side-effect, for eg?
If we're not levelling for some time, then perhaps I can rework Reveka to Oracle 3/Ranger(Divine Marksman. Dragon Hunter) 1 instead? With a change in Oracle Curse? (I'd also have to change her STR to be able to use the bow.)
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
While I can appreciate anyone's willingness to conform their concept for the needs of the group, I would prefer to see us work as is.
Edo can use the bow. If a dragon happens to show up, then use the bow unless its wings get clipped!
Reveka has certain set of skills and abilities that are and will continue to be rather beneficial to us.
Besides, we have a Bard! Trust in him...lol.
Uhe doesn't want/need any of the found items. Trust me that our talkative dwarf will speak up if something strikes his fancy.
What about Maffei?
Could she use the Longbow? Looks like she prefers the "silvery blades," but the damage potential from at least that dragon slaying arrow is too chunky to ignore. She seems real dexterous, an extra 1d6 per arrow is nothing to tut tut over.
A potion of true strike would be the ultimate to imbibe just before that dragon slaying arrow... oh man.
Okay, Uhe. That's fine - If you're happy, I'm happy. ;)
GM Tarondor: Is the circlet (worth 2250 gp) just a pretty trinket/piece of jewellery? Reveka may take it for herself.
"I will use the bow, if no one else will," says Maffei, taking the bow and arrows.
Nice! Good that Maffei can make use of them.
And, excellent re the expensive jewellery. Reveka can wear it on special occasions. ;) Thanks, GM!
Good call! I forgot about Maffei.
