Monster Mashup - Table 4 (Inactive)

Game Master CaveToad

I'm here. Been focusing on graduation that's coming up in a couple days, but I can try as best as possible to keep posting.

I have finals and final projects looming as well. Apologies for my very scarce posting, I am still very much here.

I'm more concerned about 5 players, 3 of whom have posted in the last week. And this last week is pretty typical of only a few of the players posting.

It isn't to hard to say "hi, still here, nothing to add"

I'm here but this weekend was rough. A baby shower then a birthday party then mothers day into busy day at work = not a lot of time for paizo.com.

I'm checking all my games today for updates though. Holiday weekends (even hallmark holidays) tend to disrupt things.

I posted a new system in the Discussion thread of the Main Thread regarding cannibalizing magic items to feed your Signature Item. Anyone interested, I appreciate feedback or questions.

This weekend I have a very large tournament to attend (I'm an umpire) which will take up most of my time from Friday to Sunday. I should still be able to check the boards later at night, but starting on Friday my posting will be very scarce until late on Sunday.

Most weekends are hard for me to get many posts in. It varies, and its summer so I anticipate light weekend posts in any event. I will be out of town this weekend myself at least mid saturday through late sunday I guess, so also light posts.

happy fathers day

I recently returned from a long cross-country drive.

One thing I noticed is that living in a city, we see land as pretty much flat, visibility of moving objects can be measured in 100's of yards, etc.

But driving across several thousand miles of interstate and state highways, I noticed that naturally occurring land isn't flat.

Even in Oklahoma, known for its expansive prairie plains that can stretch for miles, the land isn't flat. There are still rolls in the land, water still digs ravines and low points.

With fliers to help us keep our distance, and scout those low points, we should be able to move ahead of the other group.

Ideally, we will spend some time observing how they travel now that we are as close as we are. Still working to stay downwind of them, are they sending out a point? Do they have flankers? Do they have someone following behind watching the back trail? Are they looking around, or just marching forward?

Could be a very viable plan. It is dusk currently and will soon be dark. If you waited until darkness, and continued a bit further to gain some more ground you would have the lead. You haven't noticed any evidence of them trying to do much in the way or protecting themselves or scouting based on the tracks. They seem to have some hell hounds with them, which may spin off occasionally to hunt or scout, but it doesn't appear to be in any structured manner. You know that fire giants are very militaristic but you aren't sure of their specific grasp of tactics and use of scouts, when the typical fire giant is an apex monster with little to fear from the wilds.

Sounds workable. I think we're better off in an open fight than with too much terrain though - giants are going to be able to use large features against us.

Summer slow down?

Back from camping trip. I will get things rolling again here in a day or so.

Ok.

Sounds good

Just checking in to make sure everyone is still here, before things get all slashy and killy.

Here!!!!!

Here!!!!!

Just in case you didn't hear...

Orange!

I am here and ready to proceed.

Sorry been busy with new job and 2 hour commute, I'll try to post on the train ride.

Would you mind moving Sly to Previous Characters? Just so it isn't showing up in my campaign tab. I hope all is well here. Thanks. =)

P.S. - How's the new character, Aury'tss?

Pretty good, I was never much of a caster player, and Aury was far too caster for my liking, but that was my own fault haha.
Also, that's a really nice character icon, I haven't seen that one before.

Yeah, these creation rules really open up options.

Thanks, I've switched it a few times, trying to capture that whole "Wait, maybe he is a dragon" vibe.

I'll fix it Sly.

I head out for camping for a week. be back soon and ready to get this fight started. sorry things have stalled for a month or so. still rarin to go here. perhaps in my brief absence, you can plan some tactics. you have the luxury of the map and surprise. I recommend using the advantage.

Sorry for being gone - I had a death in the family and it meant driving to the middle of nowhere. No mental bandwidth left for internet things. I'll be back friday, but feel free to continue to bot me in the interim.

Ok, I am back from camping. I will be ready to get things rolling here for the fight.

Woot!

yeah!

Neat!

Sorry for the delays and absences in my posting. I have now completely moved into my new apartment and just went through orientation for my internship. It seems I will have a pretty normal 40 hour work week, a 9-5 job (eastern time) for Monday-Friday. So my posting will mostly be in the evenings and weekends, although I usually play with my local group on Sunday. Thanks for bearing with me through this time of change.

No problemo

I will look to get the fight rocking today. It looks like I can squeeze in some action, so stay tuned. Hopefully I didn't lose anybody yet.

I have to go over the map and the actions.

Hopefully Lilly and Grub are still here.

Here's to hoping!

Roll call?

Blormp

Ello!

fyi im still here too. trying to squeeze in time to write up a whole round of combat. I suck.

dooby doo..

Still here, posted in master discussion.

Also here

Ok, I am trying to get this moving again, we had just started a combat. I am guessing it may take a day or so to see if everyone is still here, or who we lost due to my absence. Once I know, I will adjust things or figure out how to add another player magically somehow.

Here!

Friendly bump: Are we still alive here?

I am!

I am suspending the campaigns for now since I just can't get any free time.
