In the Light of Black Stars (Strange Aeons)

Ya. The syringe counts as thieves tools

Welp, hoping this isn't suicide.
Figure this distraction might be the best chance.
If nothing else, might buy time to help the guy on the table.
Seems a very LG thing to do.

Still here btw, just waiting to see what happens since I think we're still on Round 4? :)

We are, I think you're waiting me for to resolve now that I have Nathanael's action because I was a lazy goose and didn't tell him that his action was up when I should ahve

Is the creature alive? Is it bound? I can't really tell from the post.

it's not bound.. no one really bound it everyone said they would, but no one really did.

it's alive, and, effectively given up. .

Update to
Orrow I had a late day today

Sorry for a bit of absence, I'll be posting soon.

Not trying to be rorty, does the syringe count as an actual weapon?
How many knives and stuff are there on the table? I'm thinking we should get our new friend Campre something to defend himself with. If he doesn't want to use the tools used to torture him then OO will hand over his dagger, and use a scalpel or something.

Oh sorry. The syringe counts as an acid vial. If you stab, no splash but it does the no mela damage of the acid vial. If you throw it, it counts as a normal acid vial thats been thrown.

There were about 8 tools altogether: 6 scalpels and 2 saws. Campre would be ok with using the scalpels and saws as weapons.

Oh man, one the guys in my F2F group had a very similar experience to what just happened to Hearda except he was about 10 at the time and it was a cow carcass he was trying to climb over D:

I ended up posting a bit preemptively (sorry about that) but when it rolls around to Amber's turn, her actions were to climb up (move action) and draw her bow (another move action); just wanted to reiterate it so there's no confusion or holdup when we get to her :)

aye.. saw. I'll update soon! thanks for the reminder!

Sorry for not posting, Kalas would indeed make his way up the chute. I'll be sure to make my action when it comes around.

It's all good. With my time zone it's weird to keep things moving along. My day is susially about a day and a half to two days for everyone else. If you want to post your super special climb you can

OO didn't take sanity for climbing the mountain of corpses, did he?

nope

Sweet!

Combat is over then? :)

There's a terrified rat to kill if you want but ya combats over sorry didn't make that clear

Just checking in to say I'm still here :)

sweet.. sorry. life kicked me in the teeth. updating game now

Ah! I think only the primary target can catch fire with Alchemist's fire and those who took splash damage just take the damage... Sorry.

Well in either case, bank erred in your favor :)

as of tomorrow, I'll be flying to the big island to for the holiday, I'll be back (and with internet) on Sunday

Now that is disturbing - the scene, not the holiday.

Happy Thanksgiving for all the U.S. folks and Happy Thursday for everyone! :)

Yes Happy Thanksgiving for you Americans! You're over a month late, but what can you do. :P

Hey folks, Hearda's player wanted me to let you know that he's out of town until Sunday and probably won't be doing much if any posting until then.

I have finals Monday and Tuesday, so might not be posting until Tuesday night, early Wednesday. Bot me if needed please!

Is talking out of order allowed?

You can all alone all ou want, all action stuff will happen in initiative ordEr. Unless otherwise stated in the Ike's, Skill checks that don't effect or require an action from the baddy (knowledge checks, mostly) can be init independent.

Things are still very busy with finals and projects, but I am going to try to get a post in tonight or tomorrow.

Is all good my router and cable box died so I've had net issues (doing everything in my phone sucks)

Sorry to hear that.
Did you want to break for a week to see if it is repaired? Or go on Hiatus until after Christmas? Not sure you can run a game from your phone - I certainly couldn't!

Thanks for letting us know DM, hope they can get it fixed soon!

It'll get fixed by Tuesday, and ive done all the front end work so life isn't hard we can keep chugging. I'll update games tonight when ibget home

Great news :)

Will post tomorrow. Weekend was a bit busier than expected.

Thank all for bearinv with my internet issues. I will be updating today, so make sure re your ou he have everything aquared away.

I do want to say though that this AP is a little challenging becuse it's not the typical form. And, you guys have made it so much easier. You put the mechanics at the end (which i hadn't even considered but you do it just to keep the narrative and ambience). You write more in the theme of the story and less for mechanical advantage (Oldest One, when you dropped the staff earlier this encounter I thought that was pure genius). And that first encounter in the cell when you guys woke up? My heart was in my throat! Every encounter is just astounding with you guys and I know that you're really taking the tone of this game to heart!

So many feels! Thanks!!

Does Dvarin get an action this round or did he lose it b/c of his brief bought with sleep?

The sleep was his action. He can do an immediate or a swift, thugh

Ugh updating games on my phone is awful. Real update tomorrow... seriously this sucks

I'm definitely enjoying this game as well; it has a much different feel to it than any of my other games. The closest I've come to something similar was very early on in a Carrion Crown game where the GM really played up the psychological horror aspects of what the party saw and dealt with.

At any rate, hang in there!

I'm really enjoying this game - I was a bit worried so many players might be unwieldy, but everyone is great :)
In some ways having so many players is good, because I'm not as worried I'm "letting the group down" by not trying for 100% effectiveness.

Loving the descriptions you've got GM! I haven't peeked at the module, so not sure how much is you, but it is amazing!

Might've wasted my action here - ah well!

Merry Christmas and happy Cthulhu's day!

Merry Christmas and happy Cthulhu's day!

Not the first to be devoured. V. disappoint.

Sorry to be a questioner - Has an hour passed since the first encounter?
