Not sure if anyone else is stil being affected but I'm still getting random log outs and have lost posts that I had previously checked had been added >.<
Trying to catch up again now etc :s
Yeah every time I wake my computer and go to Paizo, I've got to sign in every time.
And when I post and go back to my campaigns, it shows a new post in that game thread which I posted in and it is MY post.

I've got the sign-in-every-time issue as well, plus random posts dropping.
Thordak has a +2 to save vs spell. Does a 24 save? Just in case the 22 didn't save is why I ask.
I'm thinking that's the wall Tomaru put up? That blue line?
Then scratch the attack(obviously :P). Will just move.
I should have opened by casting Chain Frost instead of talking. =_=

It wouldn't have mattered in this case. They went before you in the Init order. I was giving you a chance to translate (as a free speaking action) for everyone so Praxim and Thordak could act appropriately. They came out and said to 'keep your screams to a minimum'...pretty blatant!
Communal Resist Energy - generally fire - starts to become a must at higher levels. Even lower level casters can dish it when there's six of them. And FYI, this encounter is straight out of the book - I didn't change anything. It gets rougher as we get higher level!
Right.
If we survive this, we need to sit down and have a strategy session.
D&D 3.5 had an absolutely beautiful spell that was basically a triggered energy resistance spell; it remained dormant until you got hit with element damage, then triggered and turned into resistance (whatever the heck you got hit with).
Maybe we should develop our own version of that.
In my RL game, we always have a CRE up just prior to getting into combat when we can. At a minimum, most everyone has a fire resist ring. I guess you could call it metagaming, except every soldier ever has tried to have the right preparations and gear before a fight.
Hear that, folks? Time for a shopping - and scribing - spree!
Did anyone NOT see the Aurora-bomb coming? That's one angry gnome.
Way to go, Aurora!
"We don't need better gear!" said no soldier ever... :p
Yes she's simmering prety badly but as the threat has ended and no-one appears to have died she'll be able to keep a lid on it, this time anyway ;)
Thank the gods the casters didn't have any fire resist themselves!
Those hit points listed are actually while raging. My bad. I forgot to break it back down to normal. In case you're wondering.
It's actually 186/186.
Ok, I am back from the Thanksgiving trip to the relatives. Hope everyone had a good holiday (if you are here in the States). Will be back on it tomorrow - work catch-up!
Lol! Poor Thordak... gets no respect. :)
That Chain Frost won't be enough to kill these Alus in one go, folks, even if they all fail their Reflex saves. Get that surprise round in before they start hitting us with their special attacks!
Merry Christmas, everyone. ^_^
Merry Christmas!
First of all, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone!
So I log in to find the message I sent from my iPhone at the airport - you know, the one that said I will be out all week - didn't go through. But I am here, so let me get things back on track today.
Still here, trying to get everything calmed down to get some time for this game. Sent a PM to Aurora/Fiendish Zen.
It's all good, OG. We'll be ready to roll when you are, bud. And I hope we didn't lose Fiendish either. That'd just flat out stink.
Still busy. I would point out that I don't see my post that Javell is quoting. And no word from Fiendish, but I'm wondering if she is having problems too.
EDIT: I found it. I put it in the gameplay thread.
Ok gang, it looks like everything crazy will die down by Monday. I intend to get everything going again. I still haven't heard from Aurora - if someone else could PPM her as well.
Sounds good. Man I sure hope we haven't lost her. That would sooooo stink.
Man I gotta say it looks concerning. Checked out a game that Aurora is running and they are also wondering where she is. I sure hope and pray she's okay.
Really? From where? Because I would've never known if you hadn't mentioned it. Obviously I totally missed it somewhere so that's why I ask.
The Iron Cages of Lust.
The section of the Runeforge built by the followers of Sorshen, Runelord of Lust. The very first step into the hall gives you an intensely squeamish feeling.
...
Ah! Gotcha. I remember that now. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
This is definitely not looking good about Aurora/Fiendish. I've been corresponding with some of her players, and they have no responses from her either. We've got a mutual "I'll let you know if I hear anything" agreement going.
Should we DMPC her? Anyone want to play her for now? I'd hate to write her out of the game just yet.
I'd be happy to see her DMPC'ed (though not as happy to see her return safe and sound).
If someone else is going to double up and play her, I'm not the right person. I love the way Aurora rains down destruction on our enemies, but my casting style is WAY different. ^^;
Man I SOOOO would just because I don't want to lose her either. But I pretty much never play arcane. I played a wizard in RL once and I've got a witch I'm playing currently. That's it. I'm just not an arcane fan. (Although, I've always wanted to play a dragon disciple because they just seem cool).
Plus, I'd have to read up on what she can do because I don't really understand how she's able to pull off most of the stuff she pulls off.
Worse comes to worst, I could give it a go but it would not be pretty in any form or fashion. Probably be a bit pathetically sad to be honest. :P
Me, I'm too cautious. ^^; Always weighing the danger against my arsenal, no matter what kind of arcane class I'm playing as.
Aurora's charm was that she just hit whatever we were facing, and hit it HARD.
I can barely keep track of my own characters’ abilities most times, and am usually only scrambling together a post on the fly, so I’m not the best choice to bot Aurora.

Ha! That's no joke. Man she just blasts away at everything relentlessly. It's pretty awesome. :)

I've played multiple characters before, one of them a sorcerer. I don't think I'd play Aurora like Fiendish, but I'm willing to give it a go. This will only be a stop-gap measure though. We'll have to figure out what to do with Aurora/Fiendish eventually. Maybe recruit another player to play her or bring in their own character.
Dax, if you would do that for the short term, that would be great. We can find a spot to add another person if that's what we want to do.
@Dax: Okay, I give up(Mainly due to the fact I'm at a COMPLETE loss). I gotta ask: Who is Torod?
@ Torod
Divine Favor
Endure Elements
Longstrider
Protection from Evil
Shield of Faith
If its been two minutes, then the archons have returned to their realm...
Have I totally missed something somewhere? Because that's what typically happens. :P
Ahhhh, okay. Whew! That's good to know. Man I sure was thinking I missed something somewhere.

I read that and didn't even blink...only because I was in that game, so I'm used to seeing it!

So to help me play the high level sorcerer that is Aurora, I tried to reverse engineer her character sheet. It looks like Fiendish did it by hand. There were a few minor errors, but I think I was able to work it all out. Time will tell.
Oh! Rather than create a new profile, I decided to resurrect Markum's. So let the confusion begin.
Lol! Oh man this game is such fun. :)
