Just to let everyone know, I got a PM from GM Paladin yesterday. In it he apologized for disappearing and letting the game wither. Although he didn't go so far as to offer to pick up the GMing reigns again, I replied and told him that I was fairly certain everyone would welcome him back if he felt up to it. I also told him that we've still got a bit left to accomplish in this side campaign, so he wouldn't need to commit to anything for a while.
If I hear anything more, I'll let you all know.
...I was fairly certain everyone would welcome him back if he felt up to it.
This part of everyone would. :)
I agree. I'd love to have him back.
I'm good with that.
Awesome, glad to hear he's ok! I'm in for more play by posts!

We need some saxophone music in the background, maybe with a building blowing up behind us.
I think Dom would be Riggs; as a drow, T'chazzar is more likely to be too old for this s*@@. :D
Another update: Heard from GM Paladin again and he's considering resuming GMing our Hell's Rebels campaign. He's going to look things over and see what it would take to transition smoothly.
So kill that last tooth fairy and find that wayward Jessibel pronto!
Egad! I hope he doesn't boot me!
I strongly doubt he'd do that. You're a part of this story now, even if you are a flincher.
Yeah, I agree with Dom. We had as many as 7 PCs at one point. 6 shouldn't be a problem. Besides, the way T'chazzar and my PC (Jessibel) roll in combat, they may only count as 1/2 each!
Some DMs just don't like dark elves, is all. :)
I think he'll be fine with it. He had us rolling for some fairly interesting characters at recruitment.
Jess can always Prestidigitation you into a blond happy elf. That's her favorite spell.
Oops, my heal skill is +8, not 6, so my check should have been 21 instead of 19. That's what I get for trying to post quickly on my lunch break!

Hey folks, just letting you know, I'm going out of town from Thursday morning through Sunday. I don't think I'll have much opportunity to post in that time frame.
Gonna be gone Wed through Sunday myself, heading to gencon.
Oh, how awesome is that? Have a great time.
Have fun, everyone!
I'm going to Chicago for work Wed, Thurs and Fri, but I should still be able to post once a day.

I'll just be here drowin' it up! :D
Enjoy GenCon, Kiri! Enjoy Chicago, Leora! Enjoy out-of-town, Dom!
I'll be hanging out here too. I have a PFS and a SFS table I'm GMing on Saturday and Sunday at our local Society events. Not Gencon but fun.
I have a friend who is doing Iron GM this year at GenCon. I can't wait to hear how he does.
Davina, what's Iron GM?
Chicago is good so far, had some crispy thin crust Chicago pizza. Tomorrow we are going to have Italian Beef which sounds pretty tasty. The food is way more exciting than the work part of things ;)
The Iron GM tournament turns adventure-making into competitive sport and rewards GMing talent with phenomenal prizes. Inspired by three Secret Story Elements unveiled at the show, GMs spend an hour crafting an adventure then run it for players who, in turn, judge them on their performance.
The GM has no idea what the story elements are until an hour before they start running the game.
I'm good to go to the livery tonight, only used 1 out of 3 1st lvl spells.

Dom is pretty fresh, just the 1 point of Dex damage that little SOB laid on me. I'd go tonight if that's the call.
I updated Dom's profile to account for 1 point of Dex damage (AC, Init, Reflex save).
Heh, you want the good news or the bad news? The bad news is you should undo any changes you made to Dom's profile. The good news is that, in Pathfinder, you need to take 2 points of ability damage/drain before it affects those stats (see spoiler).
For every 2 points of damage you take to a single ability, apply a –1 penalty to skills and statistics listed with the relevant ability.
The only reason I know this rule is because it flies against my idea about what logic means (i.e., 14 (+2) ability score - 1 = 13 (+1) ability score).
P.S.--The Roll20 map link beneath my alias should now lead to a new map. The veteran players in the campaign might recall that besides the chained (but squeeze-through-able) main doors there was a hole punched in the south wall that led to a trapdoor in the floor.
I guess that way is equally fair to odd and even ability scores. I'll reset the profile stats later, probably tonight.
OK, I readjusted Dom's stat line, ready to rock.
The Redblade family is taking one last weekend trip to Mystic, CT next weekend (after that, the wife & kids are back to school, so I'm not kidding, really). We're leaving this Saturday and returning Monday, so I think the worst impact to me will be that I won't get to anything GM posts Monday until that night. Feel free to growl in Orcish and bot me as needed over that weekend if it keeps things moving forward.

Aww c'mon Leora. Without Diehard, they're creampuffs. Thoroughly disgusting creampuffs, to be sure, that not even George Costanza would eat, but still creampuffs. Now when we beat them, we'll have earned it!
Lol! Creampuffs, that's great! Fine, but can we hit level 3 already? I'm getting sick of killing random vermin! At least the demon bile plot point puts some logic behind it.

I think the rats we fight are just gonna get bigger, and wear red pentagrams. :)
Jesse, how'd the game go last night?
Pretty well. We were still learning the rules. Also I had some trouble making sure everyone had moments to shine - the XO in particular didn't get a lot of play. But the story worked out well and people said they had a good time.
What game? Do tell.
I'm a developer for Star Trek Online over at Cryptic Studios. On Wednesday night we ran a promotional tabletop game of the new Star Trek Adventures RPG and our community manager streamed it.
That's awesome. I knew you worked on STO, but I didn't realize there's a new Adventures RPG. I'm going to have to check it out.
My next, and largely inevitable question: is the game currently "all Starfleet, all the time?" Or if you, say, wanted to make entries into the Record of Battle for the IKS Rojadi*, could it be done?
*A Mat'Ha-class raptor, and just such a lovely beast... :)
The core book focuses on Starfleet but Modiphius says they have a Klingon sourcebook coming.
Sounds good!
Just a reminder to the group at large, my availability will be spotty from tomorrow morning until Monday night.
Thought I had while looking at the map last night: if my turn comes up again before I get home, have Dom 5ft step into position so we're all wailing on the same roach at any one time.

Done.
I got my post in for today. Tomorrow, I have minor outpatient surgery so won't be able to post. Or if I do, it will probably make no sense since I'll be on painkillers!
Please bot Leora if needed. If someone gets below 10hp, she'll heal them with the wand of CLW. Trying to save channels against the demon bile that is probably lurking in the basement. If no one gets bit, then Leora will attack the nearest most damaged roach.

Hope everything goes well!
I hope your procedure goes well. Take care of yourself.
Thanks, everything went as well as it could yesterday! Resting at home today, having a nice day relaxing and catching up on this game :)
Glad to hear it!
Will update tomorrow; hopefully Kiri will have posted by then.
There's a chance I may not post tomorrow due to the potential for heavy rain in my area.
I've started having some serious computer problems the last couple of days and this may lead to spotty posting until I can replace it. Hopefully that won't be the case and I will keep you updated as best I can until then.
