Just a quick announcement I'm posting to all my games.
I've just started a new job! My posting might be a little spotty over the next week or so while I adjust to the new schedule, but such issues should be minimal and temporary.

Sorry all, my health got bad these last couple months. I got diagnosed with diabetes. My eyesight got bad. I am on the road to recovery with diet and exercise, but it takes most my free time. Sugar can be just as bad for you as anything else I guess.
Female
My wife is diabetic, so I definitely understand!

Ugh, why can't the tasty things be GOOD for you. If I could live on Pie, I would, but no kale and beets only. If you have not tried it, beet pie is something to avoid. :)
Really sorry to hear that sir, hope it goes better for you.

That sounds awful! Hope you're recovery is swift. Keep at it!

I'm so sorry to hear that! I remember back in high school, one of my friends drank something like 3 2-liters of Mountain Dew over the course of a weekend. He started having excruciating side pains and his urine was a foul sticky sweet-smelling mess. One trip to the hospital later and he was diagnosed with diabetes.
Our prayers will be with you, Nikolai.

I hope things get more stable for you going forward. I haven't written Nikolai out, so if you decide you're up to it and want to catch up on what you've missed, you'd be welcome back. But don't feel put under pressure to, though, whatever you feel is best for you.

Leedwashere wrote: when you're at least one size category larger than another creature (or when attacking from above in general) you get to add a +1 to attack rolls for high ground. This is true when attacking from higher ground, but I don't believe this is true for size category differences, except for certain combat maneuvers when the modifier is usually like + or - 4.
::sigh:: It's always such a strange experience when you find out that the way you were taught something is not the way the rules actually work. The high ground thing specifically says it doesn't help with ranged weapons. I'm not seeing anything specifically one way or the other about size, and so to avoid any other inadvertent house rules I'll instead go with the general assumption that if it doesn't say anything it isn't there.
Thanks for the correction, and carry on
Female
No problem.
Each size category gets its own size modifier for to hit and AC. At each size category the adjustment is the same, so that two creatures of the same size are fighting on an even level.
The modifiers actually go in reverse order to size increases and decreases.
For example, small creatures get a +1, whereas large creatures get a -1. Two small creatures will each get a +1 to hit, and a +1 to AC, which effectively cancel out.

Okay, since the higher ground bonus doesn't apply to ranged attacks, I think Muziel barely misses. But Koliah landed a nice blow. Any chance he managed to kill it?
Yeah, it just barely misses. But you've done a good job of hitting that 15 touch AC so far and softened the thing up pretty well. Kolaiah did, indeed, kill it.

:/ I was sorta hoping we could talk things out, maybe get a fey minion out of the deal. Oh well.

Bahhh, get an evil fey minion if you want one!

I guess we do have a necromancer on the books...
Just want to pop in while I get a moment to give you guys a heads-up that I probably won't get a chance to post a proper update today.

Well, that was an effective beginning of Round 1! I kind of wish Ismene would suddenly emerge from the darkness with a flying kick to take down Mr. Square.

I just had a chilling thought. Ismene probably would have voted for Trump.

How about we keep the real world politics out of things?

I realize that it's only been a month since my last big announcement, but I'd like everyone to know that I've just received my invitation to serve in the Peace Corps! I will be teaching secondary-level science classes in rural Cameroon, and once I depart from the USA at the end of May, I'll be overseas for 27 months.
I don't leave until May 21, so this affects absolutely nothing until at least then. Many volunteers have some kind of internet access at their post, but I won't know what my situation will be like until I get there.

That's fantastic news, Ismene! That's quite an honor.

Awesome! Both for the doing it and the being accepted. I do have to be honest, admitting I had no idea where Cameroon was until I just looked it up. My geography teachers would be ashamed.
Female
One of my favorite characters comes from Cameroon
Congrats!!!
That last update assumes that Kolaiah followed through with the scythe attack against the unconscious square. I wasn't sure if that "nope" at the beginning o the last post was in reference to my question of whether he wanted to follow through or if it was in response to Muziel. If this assumption is in error let me know, because it makes the difference between whether that attempt to stabilize is successful or not.
Also, congrats to Ismene as well! I hope that it doesn't force you to drop out when the time comes, but will understand if it causes such (or sudden silences). I hope you have a great time with it!
Female
Ugh, no!!! It was "nope, I'm not going to finish him off, and will let Penelope do her hostage thing. Good guys are always reluctant to let their friends die"
Sorry for the misunderstanding and thanks for the clarification!

Thanks for the support, everybody!
Penelope, no need to feel ashamed. A lot of people think it's in South America; the name is actually derived from the Portuguese word for 'shrimp' O_o
Kolaiah, I love Trading Places! Eddie Murphy was pretty incredible back in the day.
Good job sticking it to those meddling goody-goodies everybody!

Woohoo! Glad you're still lurking, hopefully we can wrap this up so you get back in the action.

Koliah only took an AOO without taking his action, so I think it's his turn. I just updated the map so that Muziel is standing next to Koliah holding out the bow.
Sorry guys, next week I'm going to be embarking on an extended family/Christmas vacation time. The prep for that is making my spare time a bit spotty in the run-up to it, so consider this a general warning that I'm going to be a bit spotty until the first week of January. I'm still going to try to check in when I can, but it won't be as consistent as I'd prefer to be.

Enjoy family time sir. Despite being the people with the capacity to annoy you beyond thought, they are still pretty awesome to be around, at least mine are. Everyone's are different.
Thanks for letting us know.

Killing one of the twins is sure to have some interesting consequences for the story.
