Also known as "purchasing your degree." :)
Money is actually the ultimate way to use magic. Abadar is a more versatile spellcaster than Nethys.
It was nice knowing you while it lasted, man. Mind if I look away for the bit with the horrible, horrible screaming? ^^;
Classic.
Does anyone else want to do anything? If not I am going to roll some search checks etc to try and get us moving.
I'll be aiding you, if that seems possible.
Go for it.
I will be unavailable until Wednesday, as I will be out of town for my anniversary.
Until then, have fun!
Happy Anniversary!!
Happy anniversary! Have a great time!
Happy anniversary! ^_^
Thanks guys! It was pretty awesome!
I am sorry for no post last night. We ran out of propane, our furnace shut off, and we spent the night at a friend's house. Hopefully I will be able to get us moving again soon.
Just wondering, are we planning to spend the rest of the day here or are we planning to at least get back to the battle market before settling in for the night. I get the vibe that people are planning to spend the second half of the day just chilling at the monastery. If we are then there are things Kilarra would do as well however they are low priority and can wait until later if we are headed back to the battle market instead.
As long as Zhalet is in by curfew it doesn't matter to me where. Her only business at the monastery is a chat with the were-guy, a chat with Almah, and prayer at the alter.
Rukn was the promotor of th "no wasting time" thing so, for me, we can go as soon as you're all ready.
I will wait standby until Lurch has a chance to do Zhalet and Alexander's scenes as well as Almah's response to Kilarra's question.
I'd prefer to just wait out the two more nights of full moon here rather than trekking back and forth every day.
Are we on a time crunch now?
Well, I figure the longer we wait, the more time the baddy has to get ready for us and there is probably a chance each day that Kardswan gets free. If he does, it seems probable also that Kardswan will join with the Baddy in the final fight. Considering how hard it was to beat him when he was not fighting back, I would hate to face him and whatever nasty lies beneath the church.
And that's not mentioning the probability that whoever's inside decides to take control over someone else instead of Kardswann. Because we don't know what is it capable of.
I had not thought of that but an excellent point none the less. Nothing would put a damper on this whole situation more than if it decided to possess Haleen instead and we had to fight her to the death in the final fight because we took too long.
Are we waiting for something specific?
It seems to me there is some pending inter-character stuff going on, and a decision yet to be made on where people will be doing with the rest of the day.
I think we may have gotten hung up by everyone thinking someone else was going to do something first. Zhalet is going to talk to Almah, but unless there's something important happening there it can just take place offscreen to nudge things along.
Rukn is mostly depending on what Zhalet says about it, but I (as a player) thought we already moved too much around the thing and should rather say if we're going ahead or not, either by voting or whatever.
I think you are totally right, but we also have Solomon making preparations to stay at the monastery tonight, and Kilarra making plans to return to the battle market.
I am totally willing to move us along, but I have to know what direction to push. :)
Well, as long as Zhalet is in and secure by her new curfew it doesn't really matter to me where. For the purposes of observational experimentation I can see a reason to stay at the monastery with the other were-guy. But really I don't see any advantages or problems one way or another.
from an out of game perspective, it doesn't seem right to lock Zhalet away and then have the rest of the party go off and keep adventuring for the night.
Unless there's something very pressing to do, I'd rather the whole party just got some sleep.
I'm not going to argue with anyone if they decide to do other stuff, but Solomon is staying with Zhalet.
Alright, how about this. Zhalet and Solomon at least will remain at the monastery. There's a plan in place for there, and not one for town. Anyone who wants to go back to town can do so. Everyone meets at the church in town the next morning.
There really is something very pressing to do. But if Zhalet and Solomon are decided, that's ok. I don't want to face an unknown and obviously powerful enemy with only half the group (specially without all our divine casters).
Especially the only one who can cast communal protection from evil!
Honestly? Zhalet and Solomon have something very pressing to do. There might be other pressing things to do but that's speculation.
I said I would respect your decision and I will.

I am sooo confused, when did anyone ever say we should lock Zhalet up and then go off and keep adventuring for the night. To be clear, the GM has said that it is not even barely noon and yet it seems that Solomon and Zhalet are already getting ready for night which is still a half a day away.
What has been suggested though is that we not waste the half a day of daylight we have left and at least get back to the battle market before settling in for the evening. At least that way we will, as a full party, have a full day to work on the bad guy under the church.
Besides, given Solomon's connection to Haleen and the fact that we have more than 6 hours of daylight remaining, I cannot believe that Solomon is not on board with going back to the Battle Market and staying with Zhalet there in the Battle Market, which has actual prison cells instead of the Monastery which has makeshift ones. It just seems highly out of character.
Unfortunately, there are already posts declaring actions that jump us ahead by several hours and kind of cuts the rest of us off at the knees in posting any kind of discussion to this effect in, what seems to now be the past.
It may be necessary for the GM to just untangle things for us by setting the stage of where people are on the next morning.
As for Kilarra, she would have gone to Zhalet and Solomon and made the proposition that they use 2 of the 6 hours of daylight remaining to go back to the Battle Market and the other 4 hours to get ready for keeping Zhalet safe for the night. If they want to instead wait the remaining 6 hours before sunset at the Monastery then Kilarra will return with whoever will go with her to the Battle Market to defend it and to keep Kardswan and Haleen safe until the party catches up to her/them.
^ I like this idea. I didn't realize there was a difference between the cells at the battle market and the cells at the monastery.
The battle market is a safer place to lock Zhalet up anyway. If she breaks free she won't be in the middle of our NPC camp.
We can just retcon and say that all of the Zhalet/Solomon scenes in the "cells" are happening at the battle market instead.

I am glad to hear it and it sounds like we can advance with common intentions then Lurch.
I am sorry for the delay. Between a 60 hr/wk schedule at work and a family emergency, most of this week has blurred by. Thank you all for figuring a good way to move forward. I will update the gameplay tonight after work.
Thanks again!
I'm sorry for the posting delays everyone. My job occasionally requires me to appear in court. The prep for that, along with the time spent being there, adds up to a very big chunk of time. It's about the only time I have to take work home with me.
I had to go at the end of this week, and now I'm sick with a fever. Hopefully I'll be getting back to normal tomorrow, but today I'm just sleeping.
Go ahead and bot me as needed of course.
I hope you'll feel better soon!
I have an "I am probably going to get fired over this" deadline this week, so I will update over the weekend. Sorry for the delay
So you're still employed, right Lurch? :p
Sorry for the delay getting a post up. Work busy here also.
For now I am. ;)
Looking for a new job though. I no longer feel secure here.
What is it that you're doing there, if I may ask?
Electrical Engineering.
Oh. Is that why you never have blackouts? :P
Heads up, I'm going on a week-long trip tomorrow.
I should have internet access, but feel free to bot me if necessary.
Thanks for the warning, Alexander. Have a good trip!
I'm back!
Did you all miss me? ;)
Welcome back, Alexander! Was it a good trip?
There were some excellent bits.
