Mummy's Mask

Game Master Samy

Wow... You were up late, Miss Aleris. Hope it was doing something fun.

Sweet dreams!

Hey Gang...

Has anyone seen or heard from Camus?

It looks like he's been active on other aliases as of yesterday. He might just not have anything to contribute to the current action :)

I was lurking but i didnt had time to get a proper post, was dealing with a lot of bills issues and stuff

Partially because the best think i could tought of was camus going yolo on the mirror and that may not have been a good idea

Posting to all my games:

Something's come up in RL. Posting will be very sparse or nonexistent for a while.

Please bot me as necessary, replace me if you need to. I expect it will be 1-2 weeks.

Sorry. Good travels.

Oh Regina, you will be sorely missed!

Regina, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope things clear up for you soon!

Just got a PM from Samy:

All good just busy will make a post tomorrow.

I let Samy know that we were all in the dark, pining for her.

Sorry for silence today. Real life intruded.

It's been silence all around. If you were going to have a break, today's the day. Hope that it was at least good real life issues instead of the tough ones, Tuneya!

GM Samy: Did the Church of Pharasma issue any sort of time limit on exploring the Tomb? Would we be allowed to return to finish our exploration?

No time limit. You may take several days if you wish.

Infernal healing vs. Cure Light Wounds

Infernal healing -- A bigger bonus. Both Harmose and Regina could trigger the wand. It is definitely more bang for the buck.

Disadvantage: It's slightly ooky. And Harmose does not like his memories of games with demon playmates. On the other hand, the spell uses demon blood to power it. If the demon got HURT giving up the blood, Harmose might consider it only just considering what they did to him.

If we go this route, expect a lot of Harmose-related rp.

Regina would of course be FINE with it.

Cure light wounds -- Available everywhere, socially acceptable, and can be triggered by Aleris, Regina AND Tuneya. (Harmose will have to wait until level 2.)

I'm willing to go either way with the healing wand we buy. What do all of you think?

As a player IH would be much better...

but as a LG character...Turel would not like it so much...

Pint of devil blood may be replaced with unholy water, and we wouldnt hsve to use the component anyway because its a wand

Of course yeah I guess it could generate rp situations, well camus is completely ok with it because you know he does not care much about gods and stuff.

And yeah IT is an evil spell, as in caasting it´s an evil act, so probably only regina should use it anyway cause she is evil.

Well I can go either way, but it may be something worth discussing "in character" all things considered.

Harmose has enough spellcraft and arcane knowledge to know that the component was used when the wand was made. He knows what went into the spell...

I'm willing to go with it. I'm just saying that if we go in that direction, you will see consequences in RP because of his personal history here.

As a player, I'm fine with either one. Similar to Harmose and Turel, Aleris isn't going to be particularly happy if we go the IH route but hey, the RP will certainly be entertaining!

Hopefully, this post will go through. I've lost three posts related to this campaign because Paizo keeps going down.

Tuneya would also not be happy with the IH route. As a player, I'm also fine with it.

Infernal Healing also has another drawback in that I'm going to rule that it's a rarer spell, and you're going to have to work at it if you want to buy a wand of it, whereas CLW would be more widely available. For example, Pharasma or Abadar's churches probably won't be selling any Wands of Infernal Healing due to the ethical issues... I'm not saying you can't have one if that's the route you want to go, I'm just saying you'll have to do some rolls. ;)

I have also added to Google Drive a picture of the bugs that decimated you, in case the description was vague. They were Small, so roughly big dog sized.

Gang, it's really sounding to me that our characters will mostly want Cure Light Wounds. I could see Regina praying for a single shot of Infernal Healing so long as we're botting her.

Speaking of Regina, I exchanged off-Paizo emails with her player last night. He's doing okay, but says it may be over two weeks -- and possibly longer -- until he could come back.

He wanted me to mention this to you Samy, in case you decide that you want to remove or replace him. He said that he doesn't mind us botting Regina for a while, but he knows it may be unfair to ask that of us long term.

I don't mind botting him for the moment, but what do you want, Samy?

I intentionally took six players when the AP is designed for four, so that we can live with absences. Regina can be IC unavailable until the player returns, but I have no problem keeping a slot open. You'll still be five versus the designed-for four players. So, Regina will be unavailable for a while instead of being botted when you go back to the dungeon. When the player returns, Regina can return as well.

Let's hash this out over here OOC.

Which items on the treasure list do you wish to convert to gold? Based on that, I'll give you more information on the people you need to seek out to liquidate the items.

Work out a list of what's disposable to you.

I'm not speaking for the group as a whole, but as best as I can tell from previous posts, it sounds like we're planning to sell (or attempt to sell) everything on the treasure list that hasn't been claimed by anyone. That would basically be everything but the alchemist's fire, the CLW potions, and the MW spear. There was some talk of selling the Darkvision potion earlier but keeping it might also be a viable option; Turel or Camus might find it useful at some point.

At any rate, everyone needs to check the current treasure list (the one that *isn't* in the editable documents folder) and make sure that there's nothing on there that you want to claim before we start trying to sell stuff.

it sounds like Tuneya wants to claim the books and papers until they can be translated.

Post tomorrow. Day has not been conducive to RP.

I'm looking forward to it, O wise one!

Camus... Tuneya... Are you out there?

Do you wish to continue your roleplay, or shall we move on to the end of day?

I was waiting on a Tuneya reply, and Aleris and I have a date that we wrote up jointly in a google doc that we will link in.

How about we give Tuneya to the end of the day, and then start moving forward?

Oh... And Happy Valentines to everyone! Camus, I don't know if you celebrate Valentines Day in Peru, but it is a holiday dedicated to love. Like your love for Kema!

I'm ready to continue onward when everyone else is. Since no one else has commented about the loot topic, I'm going to assume that Turel and Aleris will have attempted to sell everything we brought back except the alchemist's fire, CLW potions, Darkvision potion, MW spear and the books/papers that Tuneya wanted to try and translate.

Once it's determined who we need to speak to and what, if any, rolls we need to make, one or both of us can do a retcon post or two where we handle all of the haggling and selling, as well as picking up other supplies we need.

Aleris still has one casting of CLW available for today, so she'll use that on whoever is the most injured before everyone retires for the night (I think that would be Camus). As for sticking around in Wati proper for another day, I can go either way on that. Ideally Turel can wheedle some sort of CLW wand from Bal Themm so we can just continue with the tomb tomorrow, but we'll see I suppose :)

Hit points as you exit the tomb:

Camus 7/12
Turel 5/9
Tuneya 4/7

Resting overnight would add 1hp to each.

If you sell the chest, funerary masks, mw khopesh, mw scarab shield, composite shortbow and nard perfume, you could raise up to 1229gp. That would be enough to cover the 750gp cost of a CLW wand.

Then, the question would become, if people are missing 2-3hp each, is it worth using up charges from the wand. That, of course, is up to you.

My thought is if we can procure a fully charged wand then we can just burn a couple of charges to heal everyone up so we can tackle the rest of the Tomb.

Another thought is for Regina to use her Death's kiss ability to heal up both Turel and Tuneya. That would save a couple of charges as well. If Samy rules Regina is not currently available, then we go with Plan A.

Things have gotten worse since the last time I posted anything. I'll have details tomorrow.

I'm sorry. Personal life is... yeah.

::Hugs Tuneya::

I don't what you're going through, but I hope it gets better.

Don't worry about your post. Real life first.

I'll fast-forward to the Harmose-Aleris date, and let you time warp back to your conversation with Harmose later if things ease up for you and you decide you want to do so.

Otherwise, we'll assume that you said something both wise and incredibly funny to cheer Harmose up!

Take care!

Hey Samy --

While Turel, Aleris and I are still here, it looks like Camus has gone missing. I'm hoping Tuneya / MJ is okay. But we cannot progress with just three. How long would you like to wait?

Should we give them until Saturday to return, and if not, discuss options on how to proceed?

I have no problems waiting a bit. How about Turel and Aleris?

I'm fine with waiting for a few days (Saturday is fine if that's what everyone wants to do) to see what happens and then go from there.

I have no problem waiting for a few days as well. Waiting until Saturday for the other players to respond is a good plan.

Hi guys im reaally ebarassed I disappeared from the face of the earth for a week or so, I got into involved in a car accident reccently(not my fault), not only I twisted one of my wrist but I had to put up with a lot of bureocratic bs. Welp now im better, it feels everything settled down for now. So I can restart as soon as you are all ready.

Camus --

I'm sorry you got banged up. A twisted wrist is no fun! On the other hand, glad that you are otherwise okay!

Well if you feel up to it, we could probably roleplay the speech you want to give to Kaman now.

Otherwise, we can all wait until Saturday to see if Tuneya returns.

So it looks like Tuneya hasn't returned yet. Who all are still alive?

Turel is still here and ready to resume!

Harmose is here. After his date with Aleris, he's ready to tell Meehr that he's in love!

Aleris is also still here :)

...but not yet in love?

Poor Harmose!

I'm going to make a post either late tonight or early tomorrow. I will put you back in the tomb where we left off, a day or two later.

I want to hear a consensus on whether you intend to:

a) burn three charges off a CLW wand to get back there next day (Day 3)
b) rest a day in between forays and keep the wand fully charged, and go back on Day 4

You may make relationship rolls for the end of Day 2 (the day you first entered the tomb). I won't do RP regarding it this time around, so it will just be the roll. (Of course you may fill in fluff on your part if you wish.)

Now that we have the wand, I see no reason not to go A.

Are we botting Tuneya or assuming that she's gone?

I agree with Harmose here. Option A works for me.

I assume Camus is still with us?

Posting to all my games:

Thank you for waiting and/or botting me. You deserve the truth, and the truth is I lost my job -- in part because I got a little obsessed with the fun I was having here.

I have prided myself on never dropping out of a game, but that ends today. I'm close to landing a new job, but even so I need to devote myself to it for quite some time before I'll feel comfortable again.

So, I'm sorry, but I have to leave you. You'll know I'm back when I post again looking for a new game, but until then I'm going 100% silent.

Again, my apologies for abandoning you. I know that you'll understand. It has been fun, and I treasure the adventures we've had together.

Consider this a friendly request to replace me or move on without me. Good luck and have fun, dearies!

-"Caro"

Thanks for letting us know! Very sporting of you.

Caro, I'm sorry to see you go but I'm glad that things are getting back on track for you. Good luck and stay safe.

@Samy - Option A also works for me.
