A wide field of shattered weapons, barrow mounds, and mass graves surrounds the city of Absalom, a vast plain known as the Cairnlands. Rising from the war-torn earth like the grasping arms of the dead are countless siege castles, towers, and fortresses constructed over the millennia by would-be warlords who tried to take the great city and inevitably failed. Like forgotten monuments to failed conquerors, the siege castles of Absalom beckon the brave, the fearless, and the foolish with the promise of adventure and untold treasures, ever ready to create heroes or to entomb the fallen.

The adventure involves exploring an ancient, ruined tower and rescuing the captured Pathfinder held within.

Posting Expectations and Botting Policy:
I generally expect one post per weekday (Monday-Friday) and one post over the weekend (Saturday, Sunday).

When you know about absences that will affect your ability to fulfill this expectation, please let me know ahead of time. If unforeseen circumstances occur, the below policy will kick in and keep the game moving along. If you are absent without informing on expected return for a week, I will assume you have dropped from the game and recruit-to-replace (through about one-third of a module or scenario) or continue without if the table is still legal.

IMPORTANT Please ensure you have supplied botting instructions on your character profile (see Bot Buddy’s Guide to Play-by-Post Character Botting, page 6 for instructions on how to do this).

I will bot you under the following circumstances:

  • It's combat, and 24 hours have passed;
  • The group needs a skill check from you, and 24 hours have passed;
  • You tell me that you will be gone for a few days, and ask me to bot you.

I prefer not to bot, but I want the game to keep moving. If I do bot you, it will likely be minimal. I won't use player non-renewable resources except in dire situations or with your permission (most likely, Cure Light Wounds charges when absolutely necessary). I may take consensus and/or input from the remaining party when choosing bot actions.
