having trouble focusing tonight i will try to post during the day tomorrow
so. srry for the delay on the posting. I have had a hellacious week.
My daughters found some tampons or something like them somewhere in the disorganized have organized chaos still floating around our house. They then put them in the toilet and flushed them and who knows what else they have flushed. To make a long story short and my pocket book thinner....We have had no access to water for almost 2 1/2 days unless we wanted to fill up our basement tub with crap and other backflow from sewers.
Finally got it figured out but found out that what was expected to be covered by insurance was not and thus cos us almost 350 dollars. IE I have been stressed and not focused on writing as much as getting where I my Prego Wife and potty training daughter could use the bathroom without me having more to clean up in another part of the house.
There now my rant and ravings are gone back to my normal insanity....IE game. I will have more posted up tomorrow..Still waiting to hear from Mang unless I missed something.
thanks for patience and remember piranhas bite
I posted right after the really long story.
srry saw that ear;ier tday when I was refreshing on story/ Should have some more up in a bit gotta get my girls to bed before I have much time for what I would like to do
Not posting more than this tonight. Been bus preping for a interview/skills set test at a jeweler manufacturer tomorrow. Hopefully I wont be to dragging from excitement burn out tomorrow and can post then more.
sorry for not keeping up. Been fighting illness and crazy work hours. Still trying to post each day. Hope the interview went well Herk.

went ok just no job available for a few month which is a bummer. so back to the drawing board proverbially speaking
srry im so long in responding in discussion.
For some reason I dont see when someone has posted unless i check it ..ie the Parenthetical # that tells how many new posts doesnt appear for me anymore
Quentin :
Thanks for the input on the Milos exit. Wish he hadnt gone makes my job a bit more difficult now within story context already built. Oh well
If you have the gameplay page bookmarked it won't show it because it only shows updates since last visit.
dont have anything bookmarked except the generic paizo login site
couldnt figure out how to get potiuons from the "elf boy". Also did anyone else notice that there was a little elf in fifth port as well.
so what now?? waiting on you all to figure out tactics
There has been no response to Mang's question?
oops :) i didnt mean the question mark... I meant that there has been no response to mangs question .{not ?]
dang it. I wrote a response yesterday and must have previewed it but not submitted it. I will try to post it again today, sorry.
I did the same a few days ago but it looks like it didn't go through. Will repost after work
Waiting for you all so I know how to proceed with out pushing it
I'm waiting for responses to my last few posts
my bad. I posted something similar to this early in the week but I messed it up. I will try not to hold the group up any longer.
mang : all the response you need has been given...
Just a heads up. I am running a fever and have extremely sore throat among other things. So again check in I will post when I can for the next little while depending on how much sleep and "care" of myself I need.
Srry for interuption in game.
Quentin: Love the last comment. It gave a perspective on things I had missed somehow. Thanks
Shadara : nice subtle information seeking
Mang: Great in character moment! I have loved the last few posts and your reaction to the news.

Herkymr, thanks for the feedback.
We made it to 500 posts! From what I've read, few games can say that.
For the sake of expediting the loot distribution, here are my suggestions:
Eyes of the Eagle (Mang)
Reasoning: With this and relatively high wisdom, he'll be hard to surprise. He seems the most battle-hardened of us, so it makes sense that he would spot and react to danger rapidly.
Wand of Cure Moderate (Quinten)
Reasoning: Quinten is going to try avoiding melee combat, so he's more likely to be up when someone else needs healing. He's also unlikely to do much damage with melee attacks, so having him spend a round to heal won't cost us as much.
Wand of Cure Light (Mang)
Reasoning: Both Mang and Quinten can use the wand without Use Magic Device, but Quinten already has the Cure Moderate wand. Giving both of our primary healing items to one person seems risky.
Potion of Fly (Shadara)
Reasoning: As the sneaky type, she seems like the person who would benefit from mobility the most.
5 Potions of Invisibility (Two to Shadara and one to everyone else, including Richard)
Reasoning: If we're using these, we're either being sneaky, which Shadara excels at, or we're in dire straits and need to flee.
Wand of Lesser Restoration (Mang)
Reasoning: Since Lesser Restoration is on his spell list, Mang can use the wand without rolling Use Magic Device.
1 scroll containing these spells --3 monkey fish & 1 spider climb (Mang)
Reasoning: Mang has Monkey Fish on his spell list. If we need Spider Climb, he can pass the scroll to Quinten.
Semi-damaged adamantine wire saw (Shadara)
Reasoning: She's the sneak, and she wants to lead. Let's let her break the path.
1 vial of sooth (pharmaceuticals) (Shadara)
Reasoning: While I don't see Shadara being thrilled at the permanent scars sooth leaves, it makes sense for her to have an emergency healing option. Since she has alchemical training, she might also know when using sooth is appropriate.
2 Feather Tokens (Anchor) (One to Mang and Shadara)
Reasoning: If we're using these, we're probably being stealthy.
Masterwork backpack (Mang)
Reasoning: I don't see a backpack on Mang's character sheet, and I imagine he's the one most likely to carry heavy gear.
1 vial of troll stypic (Richard)
Reasoning: Emergency healing for Richard. It's not efficient or pleasant, but it's a last resort.
Wolfsbane (Shadara)
Reasoning: It's poison, so I don't see Quinten touching it. As an alchemist, Shadara might be able to use it to dull pain. Mang could as well, but I don't know how much he'd want to carry contraband.
small pouch containing foodstuffs for5 characters for 2 weeks. --It is contained in a "one use" minor pouch of holding large enough for the food only (Mang)
Reasoning: If we're using the food from the pouch, we're in an outdoor environment. Mang seems like the person best able to regulate our food intake in the wilderness.
Thoughts?
sounds good to me
. Didnt realize that the 500 posts was a good start. Like I said originally I have no real intent of stopping although as work is found it may slow a bit but I have seen that really hasnt been to much of an issue as long as communication has been kept open.
And aas a reward both for helping the game continue, 500 posts, and dealing with the whole Jana situation so well
From what I have cooking in my brain (muwahahahhaahahah) you will need the levels very soon.
When we combat I am going to stream line it a lot. Still figuring out how exactly but have looked over several other posts/games for a bunch of other ideas and helps with it and have seen several that look like they could be modified for effective use with out party.
I am more interested in the ROLE play if you hadn't noticed.
Richard = thanks for adding so far to game. I know it is hard coming into a game with no real knowledge of whats going on and the interactions between everyone. I think you are doing well and should do a lot better now the Jana situation has been for now resolved.
Quinten = I forgot what things you need to cast spells. some sort of item but I forget which one you queried about and cant find the post. Will you remind me. Also will you have to have one for your next level..if so what?

From what I've read, I get the impression the vast majority of games die after a month or two as players and GMs burn out. I don't know how many posts most games get in that time period, but 500 seems like a fair amount to me.
Don't worry about the item. I'm going to use an item Quinten already has. That will work better, as it'll let me marry the two themes I wanted to explore with his third implement.
Unless something strange happens, I won't need another item until Quinten reaches Occultist 10. I'll get another school four levels before that, but it'll be Divination, so the glasses he wears will be the implement.
So are all the gear that we got other than what was specifically handed to characters in a single bag. If so do we want to go to the inn and then distribute as Quinten stated. I am good for that, because we would know some of what others have and there could be some good roll play later if one character needs something from a different character that was given here.
Yay Level
Yay 500. Lets keep it going.
You are not yet to the inn and the world is a dangerous place... MUWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

I've been assuming we distributed the items before Jana teleported us out of the sanctuary.
I missed four items: the little bishop, which I'm assuming is a non-magical statue, the 10-ounce vial of glowing ink, the 5-ounce bottle of ghost ink, and the 5 skins of keros oil.
Assuming it is in fact a nomagical statue, Quinten will take the little bishop. I'd also like the vial of glowing ink. Shadara might be the best person to give the ghost ink to; she's stealthy, so she's more likely to be marking trails for the rest of us to follow.
I don't know who should get the keros oil. Quinten won't carry it; flamable objects and books don't mix well.
It's also notable that we got 300 gold tetrachs rather than 200. Herkymr, is there a standard exchange rate between those and regular coins?
there is no standard exchange but they tend to be worth a bit in the open market and sometimes more among magic users (they originally represented "spells" or magic favors still not collected) and a bit mistrusted.
The "mistake" wasn't a mistake, you were also promised so much gold a piece to take on the task. The extra covers this plus a bit more.
the "little bishop" is in a program i use called Hero lab. It is " a form of a "PRIEST" in a bottle and contains 3 doses of remove paralysis"
There is that a bit clearer? i hope it helps
I'm fine with the distribution.
HERKYMER: We last went through and "pre-rolled" our combat numbers at level one, we all should go through and do it again if you plan to carry out the same strategy you laid out originally, especially since this was before Quinten and Richard joined.
Yes please dont necessarily give me rolls though. Just a basic what you do commonly in combat.
example
start of combat: I stand back and evaluate best opponent for me to attack and then draw my weapon
I attack ..... until .....
then I
when lightly injusred...
moderately injured...
You get the idea. It just allows me to Dm a character in fight if need be due to what not's circumstances.
Also Richard:
I requested of the others and thus of you that you let us see/feel how you see your character. This is to be done by picking atleast 2 songs and linking them here for us to listen to
one should be general feel non combat
the other
combat
It is worth somethng in game whether item or something else remains to be seen
sorry about my last comment I missed that we were given time to put the items away before leaving the sanctuary.
Herk, it may take a few more days before I can get the updated herolab file to you. Been extra nuts at work with a big project. I have not had a chance to process the equipment and level information into the file.
quinten -
I have read the supply list break out a couple of times now but wanted to thank you again for your contribution to the team. You put alot of effort into the distribution of the items and I personally appreciate it very much. We, Herk, Mang, and I, have always had a very unique group when we were playing in real life. I am glad that you joined the game and continue to bring such life and thoughtfulness to the gameplay. It has made things run very smooth. Thank you
Richard -
I am excited to see how your character develops. While in game I may continue to give you a hard time for a while, I love what I am seeing in the responses of the character. I believe that like Quinten, you are a great addition to the group and will help to bring the story to life. I am having a little trouble with not meta gaming from your character thoughts ;).
Mang -
As usual you have an amazing depth to your characters that take time to fully realize. In game and out I am enjoying each of your posts as they are helping to stretch the boundaries of my character. From the beginning we knew that there would be a contest of wit and wills between our two and that game is far from over. That banter has allowed me to create and shape a different side to my character that I have not considered before and I thank you for that opportunity. Each opposing encounter gives me many choices for responses that will shape the character moving forward.
Herk -
thru all the struggles real and game related, you are still a master of your art. I know that we have not even cracked the depth of this story and yet the intrigue and challenge has kept me excited to continue playing. Thank you for being the DM you are and more importantly the friend you are.
There are so many good things that could be said about each one of the group but I wanted to just take a moment and let you each know how much I appreciate your contributions to this game and the level of thought that goes into it. I am challenged to do better and be better, in a good way, in my postings.
Sorry getting off soap box now.
Herk, it may take a few more days before I can get the updated herolab file to you. Been extra nuts at work with a big project. I have not had a chance to process the equipment and level information into the file.
no worries RL first with communication vital
BTW we will be down there in about a month

Atleast your not supplying towels or canoes with the soap box. :)
Srry will get that taken care of shortly. I have had a hectic couple of days.
Gonna be a bit delayed in posting much the next couple of days. got alot of employment things I am getting done that is using much of my time.
I understand the RL stuff Herk.
Just so that it is out there. I have just started a new med that over the last few days has caused some severe tiredness. Hopefully this is only temporary (they say). I am still trying to post each day but if I miss one or two in a row that is most likely why.
We didn't lose Richard did we?
No I'm still here just got busy with a lot of things so haven't really had time to sit down and write a response.
