Yep. I think the homebrew mystery thing is difficult for a slow pbp. Hard to keep pieces of info over a long period of time, and as a result, it is difficult to maintain interest and direction.
A couple options I see.
I recruit two more and fast forward to going to the Doyle estate/lumbermill...
or just call it and I can tell you what the big fiendish plot was... and tie in to previous campaign.
Wow I thought I was the only one still interested and my life got super hectic with starting uni and looking for part time work that I just stopped posting. Sorry everyone.
Not a problem. I'm recruiting now. My plan was to fast forward to going to the Doyle estate/lumbermill where the opportunity for recruits would happen... But we are just a few posts away from doing so if you are ready to go.
When the team of Jobo and Drakr braved the Pass of Thaldor they set the bar for melee offense and melee defense as a tag team. Now Corum and Errik need to continue their legacy. Unfortunately Corum has not been nearly as funny or successful with the ladies as Jobo!!
Jobo could take out a horde of enemies in one round! Drakr was nigh unhitable! So funny how you just handed that wand of enlarge person to the sorceress and made her follow you around. :D

Hello all, just checking in. cant wait to get started
Corum - you are planning to stay invisible for the time being, and see what comes of the elemental you sent toward the attendant? Regardless, if you could roll your initiative at least for your elemental... I'll roll it later if you happen to not be around today.
one creature from the 3rd-level list, 1d3 creatures of the same kind from the 2nd-level list, or 1d4+1 creatures of the same kind from the 1st-level list?
... and sending after the attendant (Sirius)?
I was hoping to have a celestial wolverine appear and flank with the elemental on Sirius. Template was posted for Corum's first combat if you can grab it or I'll post one tonight.
Sorry had family medical problems then wedding... now I am going on my yearly cabin trip til sunday. I'm hoping to have internet... will let you know ASAP if I do.

Sorry - on the road til late tonight and can't format text. Will b able to post tonight when I get home.
I am starting to compile some info on the campaign info page. There will be several choices of paths to take... which you will be free to prioritize and deal with how you like. As you take out each faction of this uncertain big evil plan, you will learn more about what you are ultimately facing. The foe or group of foes left alive longest will have the most time to complete their own particular dark doings... yada yada yada.
Corum - Errik will be a DMPC, doing his own thing for a while. He is too busy IRL now, and is winding down his online games.
Varian - Not a problem!
Sunny:
Regarding Suny... I welcome out-of-the-box thinking and plans.
I would assume there was some talk on the ride regarding what to do with the prisoners (the Zed copy, and the unconscious mayor) while you are at the tavern?
Bimnil would have simply suggested pulling up alongside the pavilion.
The pavilion is open to the outside. There are four horses lashed to the hitching fence on the east side.

Did we keep the Zed copy? I kept it alive but I personally didn't bag him

Corum - no one claimed the admonishing ray wand, or +1 staff of spellstoring from earlier? ... also you have bracers in your gear marked ?? which were identified as +1 Bitter Bracers

Oh I was thinking Corum would have been all over those, although if he doesn't want the wand I could use it
no sweat. I'm pretty loose on that... especially around holiday weekends. Even if circumstances make posting impossible for weeks, feel free to jump back in.
I've been a little slow here. Sunny and Lyrralt both deciding to take a bath altered your involvement in a couple NPC timelines from what I planned, and it has been a little difficult to adjust. But its all good... kinda makes it more interesting for me.
Probably a good idea. Holfstedt paid for a second room at the bed and breakfast if you care to use that. (Northwest room... Front left if you we're facing the building front from out side)
There are also rooms available at the belching badger.
