I'd like to continue, I just haven't had much to say the past little bit of exploration. I'll try to speak up more and stay active.
I'm literally playing an NPC right now. I can't really drive anything beyond being silly.
I love this campaign. Sorry for my inactivity, thoughts are all over the place lately. I kind of want to do a lot of things but i'm not getting anywhere with anything. It has me distracted
But I'm still here and I want to continue.
Well, this sudden burst of posts is a positive sign.
I am absolutely still interested in continuing, but if the GM has lost interest than I know how the game is destined to die anyways.
Hey, were just about to get to the good part.

Yeah, I can imagine that being a bit uninspiring. We should get our favorite scarecrow back in action. At the earliest opportunity.
Please DMPC for now. Midterms are *censored*, so I'm a little distracted.
No chance I get a free restock even though I failed at co-operating, right?
Free restock of what? HP? Yes. Shade orb? No. Spell uses? Yes.
In general, dying and respawning does not count as "rested" (for purposes of spells and curing ailments and whatnot), but when it has no in-game consequences it doesn't matter.
HP and Spells were what I was concerned about, thanks.
None taken. Listen To GM Monologuing The Story (Wis) is not a class skill for players, anyway.
Well, it is if you take the Rapt Attention social trait!
Not very popular, that one, for some reason. I blame the blatant power creep that happened with the Distractions system. It became a pretty harsh trade-off over the years.
Ok, yes, let's take a detour to the skeleton.

With the speed at which a PbP naturally goes and me generally not being good at the memory thing, such details can get lost to me over time.
Sorry to beat the "let's buy armor" drum again, but no one said anything the first time I suggested it.
I doubt anyone has any problem dropping like, what, 30 souls? We aren't fighting a boss anytime soon by the looks of it.
By all means, buy some armor. Anything that helps the frontliners to survive is a good buy in my book.

I'm in. I think it's about time i get some armor for myself.
Yeah, buying armor is definitely a decent call. I dunno about not fighting bosses, though--we just found and unlocked another encounter, and I think we were interested in returning to it at some point soonish. Of course, who knows how long looking for the Throne will take...

My guess is we'll make any souls we spend back before we get around to fighting another boss.
I want to do the Hellfire thing because I'm part of the covenant and lawful, so when a higher ranked member tells him to deliver a message, Ulrich feels he should do it. If you want to do the rest of the asylum, by all means let's discuss IC. I can be swayed!
I also want to do the hellfire thing as, for whatever reason, I'm not letting the matter of Dushica go. Enchantment magic and the GM be damned!
So I wasn't the first to think of that :D
About botting/GMPCing, I was wondering if it was cool with you guys if, whenever there was a need to bot/GMPC it was another player who selected the action?
Like if it seems like someone isn't posting their action during the first 24 hours, another player could choose their action for them?
I don't know, I just heard it's both the most player- and GM-friendly way to handle botting.
If we were to do that I'd think it best to commit one player as action caller. I'd think Ulrich since he seems to be our defacto leader.
It seems fine to me, as long as the specific player is alright with it.
If you're all okay with it, I'll do my best just to keep the combat moving.
Sounds fine to me.
I'll give Elyna and Tannan about 5 hours and then I'll put together actions for them.
Sorry, are we posting round 3?
What happened was a busy day on GM's part: everyone had submitted their action (though Araden could have altered their action, but thankfully Ulrich managed the fixing, thanks!).
Now we are submitting actions for round 3. Though the sooner you post, Kekkle, the better.
Why am I delayed? I posted my round 3, it was total defense.
Oh, that would be because it's now R4 (and I failed to remember to change the copypasted Round 3 -thingy) and, since I knew the fiend's action wouldn't change anything, your action might as well be after the fiend's, right?
And now your action isn't "stuck" between the mage and the fiend's. Speeds up the game a bit.
In PbP I always try to group enemy initiatives together for simplicity and game pace.
Guys, I can beat this guy if I pull out my big guns. Aggresive thundercloud + spiritual weapon + constant electricity jolts turns into a lot of damage per round. I just need to be covered so I don't go down.
I'll hook you up with a shield spell when I have a chance to post my action, probably later today.
Or you can bot me if you want to get it out of the way.
Shield spell won't help, partly because he's attacking touch AC and partly because shield is a personal spell. I need cover and assists to my AC with the aid another action.
If I'm reading aid another right, we have to be helping you against a melee opponent in order to give you a +2 AC- that's what the PRD entry says, at least.
I can do reduce person, maybe?
Maybe a running leap over the trap? I'm in a bad place hp wise, but if that changes I can try an acrobatics check.
Just a reminder that Tannan never did figure out how the trap works and what activates it.
As it is a magical trap, I think it'd require either Spellcraft or Knowledge (arcana) to identify (though I'm not sure which one, and how long that would take). Let's say it's either Knowledge (arcana) DC 20 + spell level, or Spellcraft DC 15 + spell level that requires the application of detect magic with the 3 rounds.
I'm also willing to just run through and spring it.
As is Araden. Shall we?
Ah, it appears you're right.
Reduce person would certainly help.
Finals week. Please DMPC as necessary. I will return on Wednesday night, thoroughly stressed and exhausted and probably eating a whole pizza by myself.
Was that the liar's action? Are we up?
Yes it was.
Just came back from the dentist, I took 6 points of wisdom damage, so feel free to DMPC me for the next 24 to 48 hours.
Forgive me, but I can't remember: What were the results of my experiment if temporary magical buffs persisted through a wall of fog?
We were able to buff pre-combat.
While waiting for Dark Souls 3, a game called Salt and Sanctuary came out for PS4 and I'm really enjoying it. It's very much a 2D Dark Souls with some unique mechanics of its own. There will be a Steam version soon, as well.
