To paraphrase hundreds of other internet peoples:
I keep throwing money at my screen, but nothing's happening!
Richard Pett is a rockstar at this sort of thing! I cant wait to see what he has cooked up. I've already got my first character in mind!
You folks now have a loot list in your campaign header - thanks Zoreck for getting it prepared / filled out and for reminding me to link it...
So... We all know that catacombs and the like are tight, narrow affairs... Your friendly, and totally trustworthy, GM needs a marching order... Thanks!!!
I'd like second or third rank please
I'll go first.
Drancis can bring up the rear.
I'll go third or fourth.
Put Rikkan second, if someone else is going first.
I suppose I'll hang out with Drancis near the back of the group.
Anyone have Kn Dungeoneering?
Unless anything changes / you folks specify - the default marching order when you get caught in tight spaces shall be:
Zoreck,
Rikkan,
Illonna,
Locke,
Astraea
...and then Drancis with his girly scream bringing up the rear!!!
Anyone have Kn Dungeoneering?
Sure do! At +6, thanks to the Scholar of Ruins trait!
Could we attack it from range and force it to burst from a safe distance?
Are the amoeba's not on the map right now? I still don't have any splash weapons for swarms either.
Why, oh why, did we not ask Rexel to lend us some alchemist's fire or something? ;_;
The Amoeba Swarm is now on the map... Good Luck ;)
So... thoughts on how we do this? Grab Rikkan and fall back if we can?
We can run away, or we can let me get behind the group and start lobbing bombs, but whoever's in the front line will probably take some splash. Discretion might be the better part of valor here, though. Run away, and come back prepared.
...Or just let Drancis take care of it :D
And then the miss! Ouch :P
I have acid resistance 5. Maybe I should offer it a fussier meal to distract it? Y'all just be sure not to let me get eaten in the process...
Thoughts?
Woah...
Well then. Maybe we should put down the swords and join the circus or something.
Guys we picked up a key back at the orphanage. I think Locke ended up with it.
Guys, we are getting slammed with a winter snow and ice storm. If the power goes out, I might be really scarce for a few days. Just wanted to let you know up front.
Stay safe!
Indeed - follow whatever precautions are advised... And make sure you've got some good books!!!
Yikes! Are you in the path of that East Coast blizzard? Wherever you are, stay safe, and don't drive in it unless it's ABSOLUTELY necessary—and you have good winter tires!
(I'm about 150 miles north of where it's supposed to be bad. We're expecting a normal snowstorm of 1-3 inches: Nothing to be concerned about.)
I was supposed to drive down to Philadelphia this weekend to hang out with my wife, who's been there for a business conference since Wednesday. We were going to see the Liberty Bell, go to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and get together for drinks with some old friends who live there.
Needless to say... I'm spending a quiet weekend at home now.
My wife is supposed to fly from Philly to Phoenix to meet with a different client on Monday... hopefully Philadelphia will be sufficiently dug out by then!
I'm in Kentucky. Looking out, I'd guess we have about ten inches of snow right now and it's still pouring down. The real problem is, we got about 1/3 inch of ice underneath it from freezing rain this morning. That ice is hell on power lines. I'm hoping beyond hope we don't lose electricity!
I apologize for my lack of posting lately.

I am so excited to start traveling other worlds!
Will be GMPC'ing Rikkan and Astraea if nothing by tomorrow morning - the creature is at 20% health (next hit will likely kill it)...
I have one use of Lay on Hands left and a few people are still hurting. Should I burn it now or save it if we need it more later?

So... Tactical retreat and resting up in the ruined manor? If you do, sort out your healing, etc... and I'll mull over whether you folks have an undisturbed night... Insert fiendish laughter...here
I think so, Dm. You've beat us into the ground today! We need a rest and to make another attempt tomorrow!
Agreed. We're all beat to piss. Let's have a good rest kplzthx
And here I was saving my rounds of Rage...
But yeah, we're all pretty badly beaten up and out of combat healing. Wading through disgusting water isn't going to help that!
I am thinking of dipping into something a bit fightier for Locke eventually. If he lives through this anyway. Suggestions?
Uhhh, Skald? Maybe Swashbuckler, but that's a really lackluster class. Order of the Cockatrice cavalier too comboed with Eldritch Heritage (Orc) if you had the spare feats.
Maybe another archetype? BTW I have no problem with Locke taking the chain shirt.
Zoreck could take the shield I suppose.
Hmm, I hadn't considered taking Cavalier levels. I could even go Battle Herald that way... Interesting.
Yeah there's, I think, three archetypes if you wanted to get rid of the mount. Tactician is also a great ability for support.
Cavaliers are awesome. I say go for it.
As long as we can figure out some way to reason out having an Order Locke's next level will be in Cavalier, though I haven't decided on an archetype yet.
Remember when the two of you make saves against your ongoing saves that I can treat you for a +4 bonus on your save. I can make a DC 12 Heal check while taking 10 without using my kit.
...and that's the first one thousand posts!!! Thanks folks for keeping up a really good pace and for engaging with this weird and horrific little prelude... Hopefully you are all enjoying yourselves - needless to say, you aren't very far away from your first truly extraterrestrial encounter - and the start of the adventure proper.
It's been great so far! Fastest running campaign I have ever been a part, yet it never feels too fast. Excited to go beyond Golarion!

5,000 GM posts (and counting!!!) – it seems a long time (April 2013!) since my tentative steps into GM’ing on the boards with an ultimately doomed attempt at ‘The Godsmouth Heresy’ – since then I’ve managed to finally get one group through the Ossuary beneath Kaer Maga (and failed with two other groups), explored the Mana Wastes in ‘Wardens of the Reborn Forge’, got two groups deep underground in the Emerald Spire (and still going!!!), inflicted ‘The Assimilation Strain’ on two groups as we start the Legendary Planet AP and taken another group on a rollercoaster of emotions when I stitched ‘Feast of Ravenmoor’ into my Shattered Star AP…
…and, in all of that, I have met some really great players and had a load of fun!!!!
Here’s to another 5,000 GM posts!
Congrats Zed, that's damn impressive! I am definitely looking forward not only to continuing this campaign, but attempting to apply for any future endeavours from yourself.
