If you want a replacement go ahead, I'm still having issues with Paizo not posting for me enough that once this is done I'm done with PbP completely. It's that much of an aggravation for me to check back 15 mins after ever post to make sure that it is still there, and it still will drop off after that sometimes. There's no way you should be expected to know when the posts go up, and I shouldn't have to post 4-5 times to get it to stay (1-2 hours later).

So sorry for the issues! You are a great GM and if we somehow could solve the issue I would like to continue with you.
But if you really tried a lot, and this cannot be resolved and you are ok to hand the game over I am fine with that decision as well.
Hello all! If you'll give me a day or two to read the module and read all of the progress you've made, I'm here to cover for GM Phoenix Kyten and get y'all to the finish line!
In the meantime, could everyone check in here to make sure we're all still ready to go?

Healing Yaiho seems prudent at this point.
That said I need to give you the heads up. I'm going to travel for work from tomorrow to wednesday in the late evening, or thursday morning. Please bot Zhatara as you see fit while I'm absent.

As Enora studies the tome, the entire underground complex shakes slightly as if the walls are settling slightly. The Pathfinders look at each other in worry, but after several minutes of silence they relax.
So, we're about halfway done with the module. Woo!

Thanks for everything GM!! You are great in organisation and world building! Really enjoyed the run!!
I'll type up the backstory of Fangwood Keep for you tomorrow and have Chronicle sheets ready to download. You're finally free! Woo!
If you have a moment (and energy), I'm always looking to improve my GMing and would love to hear your thoughts on:
- What went well?
- What was frustrating?
- What was fun?
I need to double-check the character you want to assign this credit to since your #11 is no longer within the level range.
Adventure Background:
In the middle years of the Age of Enthronement, the mysterious elves finally made their return to Golarion after millennia of absence. They traveled a nigh- unfathomable distance in the blink of an eye by remotely tapping into the power of the Sovyrian Stone in Kyonin from the Arch of Refuge in Sovyrian. Most of the elves returned to fight the dread nascent demon lord Treerazer and prevent him from using the Sovyrian Stone toward evil ends. Among these elven forces was a powerful transmuter known as Tessarael, who commanded a small army of elves on the front line of the battle against Treerazer. When the Abyssal magic of the nascent demon lord and his fiendish legions warped Tessarael’s mind and turned her against the elves, however, her brethren were quick to banish the corrupted wizard from their homeland. They expressly forbade the traitor from using the Sovyrian Stone to returning to Sovyrian, thus cutting off her only way back to Castrovel and precluding the sabotage that Treerazer’s minions had programmed her to perform there.
In order to return to Sovyrian, the brainwashed Tessarael would need to devise her own means of interplanetary transport. With aid from Treerazer’s vile forces, she constructed a tower so she could focus on her research. As she performed her strange arcane experiments—many of which explored using the elven practices of druidism as a means of expedient travel— she added numerous chambers beneath the tower. It took years for her to acquire the necessary resources and build her machines, but eventually, by using a book of in nite spells procured by her demonic liege, she was able to fuel the arcane engine in the belly of her lair. Fusing the artifact with a sizable lypenaia tree from Sovyrian, Tessarael stepped through the tree and was sent hurtling across time and space. She did not arrive at Sovyrian as intended, however, and no one has seen or heard from the elven wizard since the strange incident.
After Tessarael’s failed attempt at space travel, her ruined arcane engine continued to produce random bouts of magical energy every several decades. Monsters and beings from the darkest corners of the multiverse were drawn in through temporary portals it created, but few were able to escape the subterranean chambers. The elements quickly eroded the rest of Tessarael’s fortress, and for years the ruins of her lair lay quiet on an unusually barren hillside along the Marideth River valley.
In 4648 AR, when the secessionists who would eventually form the nation of Nirmathas broke away from their avaricious rulers in Molthune, the Molthuni generals ordered the construction of Fangwood Keep, choosing the ruins of Tessarael’s tower as the location of their border fort. The Molthuni used the broken stone from her tower in constructing their castle, and unknowingly built it over Tessarael’s mysterious underground chambers, in which a powerful relic was entombed alongside her magical inventions.
Fangwood Keep has traded hands countless times in the persistent struggle between Nirmathas and Molthune. Ten years ago - the last time Molthune held the keep - a greedy Molthuni foot soldier named Pavo Vos was stationed there, and in searching through the keep’s oft-disregarded library, he discovered one of Tessarael’s long-forgotten tomes. Though badly weathered, the magically preserved pages of the diary revealed there had once been a great artifact under this tower, and Vos decided to claim the rare item for himself. Before he could accomplish this feat, however, Fangwood Keep was besieged and taken by Nirmathas once again, and he was forced to return to Molthune to let both his plans and anger fester.
By the time Vos achieved the respectable position of lieutenant in the Molthuni army, 10 years had passed since his last visit to Fangwood Keep. Over the course of the past decade, Vos had commanded a small platoon of irregular infantry, known as Vos’s Strikers. A covert task force typically deployed deep behind Nirmathi lines, Vos’s platoon provided a perfect means of taking Fangwood Keep to find out whether the legends about Tessarael’s mysterious artifact were true. With the help of his lover Elessia—a duplicitous devotee of the goddess Calistria—he falsified orders and led a cross-border raid last month, decimating the few Nirmathi rangers garrisoned at Fangwood Keep and ordering his troops to search for an entrance to an underground vault.
A few of Vos’s soldiers found a staircase buried beneath the floor of the soldiers’ mess, and Vos eagerly sent them down it. When these soldiers failed to return, the rest of his platoon was quick to mutiny. Their efforts proved too little, too late, however, as Elessia had garnered the loyalty of a local tribe of hobgoblins, who quickly slaughtered the Molthuni soldiers before they could retreat.
Chronicle sheets are all up! I'll keep this campaign active for a few days so folks can download them at their convenience. Best of luck at future tables, and hopefully we'll see each other again sometime on the forums!
