Anybody want to claim something from the unclaimed loot?
No.
Nope.
Also, BUMP!
We might be cursed.
Well, we *did* raid a tomb. Just sayin.
I'm still here! Just swamped at work. Something will be up soon.
Okay, guys. I've tallied everything up. Tomorrow, we'll be moving to shop, but I wanted to let everybody know that you each have 1,924.5 gp to work with.
What do you guys think about going in together on a wand of CLW?
I'm fine with buying a wand of cure light wounds out of my own share. You guys don't need to chip in.
I would purchase one myself, if I could do spell completion. But I can't, so I shan't. Is this after we have sold all the items from the tomb?
Cool.
Thanks Merutep.
Sorry for recent and upcoming spotty attendance - my wife's Grandma passed away, and I will be focusing on that for the next few days. Bot as needed.
Rashim, do you anticipate buying anything?
No worries, take your time, Rashim.
Going in for surgery tomorrow, be gone till Sunday.
All the best, Hibbins. Take your time.
Don't count. It's a trap!
Hope everything went well!
There were complications, but I live. Sorry for being gone longer than planned.
Glad your okay Hibbins.
Your survival was a complication? Maybe I misunderstood.
There were complications such as my heart stopped on the table. But, I live despite nearly not doing so.
Hibbins, you definitely don't need to apologize for that haha
Just glad to be able to do something while I'm here in this bed.
Well, happy to have you back! Here's hoping you have a speedy recovery.
Advanced Warning: I won't have power tomorrow, and will be unable to post. Bot me if needed. Thanks.
Now is probably a good time to explain how I run combat in my games.
First, I roll initiative for all players and enemies. Then I separate organize the scores like if we were playing normally, but for ease of play, I separate the initiative scores into "blocks."
In the example with the death dog, Caius, Hibbins, and Rashim all rolled higher on initiative than the monster, so they can act before it, in no particular order. That's the first block.
Then the monster will act. That's the second block. If there are duplicates of monsters in the fight, I will have them both act on the same score for ease of play.
Finally, Merutep and Merui can act, because they rolled lower than the monster. Generally, I'll let all players act in this round, since the first block would get to immediately act after the third anyways.
I hope that's clear.
Yeah that's clear and useful for this type of format.
Hello.
Common message for all the games I was participating in:
I know I vanished without warning. Trust me, it wasn't planned. My wife had a new medical condition flare up, and I've been going to work, doing my job, coming home, doing bothe her chores and mine, taking care of her because she's had extermely limited mobility, taking care of her service animal, covering chunks of time that she had pledged towards watching our grand-daughter, and then still trying to keep up with my existing Scouting obligations.
I was suddenly very busy.
She's been better the last couple of days, so I've built the time to craft this message and distribute it. Today she started having a reaction to the medication that was helping her be better, so that bodes poorly. She also has a procedure tomorrow that is part fo the continuum of care for her problem (as required by insurance companies), but her doctor doesn't think is actually going to address her cause. He said tha's another 3 procedures down the list, but the insurance won't approve him skipping down the list or trying multiple things in quick succession.
I want to apologize to everyone for the impact my real-life has had on your entertainment. You at least deserved to hear from me sooner, honestly.
Now you know why I vanished. And why I don't know if my availability is actually going to get any better in the short term or not.
All the best to you and your family.
Hey that's very understandable.
I wish you well and your family well.
Lol, this is going to be a running gag with the group right up until it actually costs us something.
I can cut it out if it gets annoying, I just figure, if you're gonna have telekinesis and worship a trickster god, theres no way you don't pull stunts like this, right?
Just a heads up, my Grandma passed away this morning, so I will be hit or miss for the next week or so.
My condolences to you and your family.
Take your time, Rashim.
I am sorry for your loss. Don't worry, we will still be here when you get back.
Sorry for your loss.
My condolences, Rashim. Take all the time you need.
Just noticed I forgot to do hp when I leveled. Going to fix that.
Might be helpful in not dying.
That should be 50% more not double vs swarm... still, more effective.
Bomb is a plus shape... so I can actually avoid hitting the paladin.
Hey, gang. I'm out of town for a week. I might be able to sneak a post in occasionally, but I can't promise anything.
I hope that everybody has a happy 4th, American or otherwise!
Sorry guys - smashed my toe something awful about a week ago, and it messed up my attendance. Will post soon! Still here and alive, I swear :)
Hi Huston!
I just assumed you'd contact us again when you were ready. Sorry if you were waiting on us to reach out. I didn't want to bug you when family should come first.
Sounds like you're ready to come back now? Either way I still wish you and your wife all the best.
Yeah, sorry for the misunderstanding.
I figured you'd post when you could, if you could.
How is everything?
Stable.
She's a fibromyalgia patient, which means she is ALWAYS in pain.
She's dealt with the initial onset of sciatica, and has now figured out how it fits into her normal routine. When she gets an attack, it still puts a serious crimp in her ability to do things, but she's figured out how to not let it stop her anymore.
Things like this remind me how much I really do NOT want to know what it is like to be her.
Again, _I_ misunderstood the intent. This continued silence has been a mistake that I caused. Your displayed patience and understanding is far more than I deserve.
I'm sorry your wife has to deal with that. She must be tough.
It's okay Meriui. You are going through alot and it's understandable. I wish you and your wife the best.
Just letting you know I’m currently suffering from an intense bout of vertigo. I’ll try my best, but I might not manage to keep up with posting over the next few days. Feel free to bot me if needed. Sorry for any potential hold up. And thanks for understanding.
Hope you feel better. :)
Yay for the site being up! Unfortunately, I'm actually going to be largely unavailable from now until Sept. 1st. I'm going on a trip, and am unclear how much if any availability I will have. Please bot me as appropriate.
