[PFS] #5–08: The Confirmation (Play-by-Post; Table 2) (Inactive)

Game Master Robert Brookes

I'll do everything I can to help us make the deadline. I don't really know all that much about the running of PFS, but surely they'd make allowances for PFS pbp games that were started even before that announcement went out.

"Oh yah, and we killed some dog-sized fleas on the way here. Wonder if there are flea-sized dogs somewhere."

Truly, a question for the philosophers. :P

:D

From simple minds, no?

Much appreciated!

guess I'll have to make a tiefling slayer and get some xp on him quickly (otherwise it"ll be ANOTHER half orc...blah)

Oh no! Brox is sprouting horns!

OH YEAH!!!! (HEY KOOL-AID!)

What?! A demonic creature amongst us?! I shall... No, wait...

SMITE! SMITE! CAPS LOCK! SMITE!

A little fun insight to share, but there's a real world cave that greatly resembles the one in this scenario, the Waitomo Caves in New Zeland. I figured I'd share photos from this unique place as well as some artwork to inspire you! You can learn more about the Glowworm Caves of Waitomo here.

That's awesome. O.O

Apparently, I need permission to look at the maps

Sorry I forgot to change the share settings. You should all be a be to see it now.

Just a heads up. My wife and I are inside the 30 day window for our third child's delivery date. Basically, it could be any day now.

i'll try to give you guys a heads up when that happens, and I might be able to make enough small posts to keep Mors active enough for the game not to suffer. They might be brief. And if I can't post, please bear with me.

I'll do my best to avoid any serious interruption to the game, but my priorities are obviously with my wife and kiddos.

Consider yourselves warned. :)

Psh. Pregnant people. So inconsiderate.

Sorry, I'm a bit slow on posting for the next few days. I made the glorious decision to start working double shifts because I am a smart man who doesn't need sleep or free time.

Psh. Hard workers. So inconsiderate.

Dying with laughter at the comments.

You think you're laughing now ... revisit his comments here in a few months. ;)

Mwah ha! (Mrs. Silverhorn is pregnant, too.)

Out of curiosity, are we waiting on Robert? Or is robert waiting on the rest of the party to weigh in?

Sorry for the huge delay, guys, I had something come up this week that demanded my attention and I've only just now had time to check in and catch up on things. We're back on track now.

No problem. That's cool. Just didn't want to be in one of those unfortunate circumstances where we are waiting on you, but you are waiting on us. :)

Hope the thing that came up wasn't too big a deal.

It's not right now. I'm also working on a bunch of freelance stuff too, I got a little overwhelmed. But I'm back on track now!

I'm afraid that I need to withdraw. My father-in-law passed away a few days ago and I don't see my availability being any better for at least the next week. I feel like I'm holding things up so is best to withdraw.....

Sorry to hear about your father-in-law.

To the more experienced PbP players here, how--as a GM--should a dropped player best be handled? The table is still legal without Falvreab. Should I remove him from play and not record him at the end? The GMing side of PFS is new to me so I apologize for polling the masses ;)

That said, I'm sorry for your loss, Falv :(

Condolences, Falvreab.

RB - I'm not sure of any technical specifics, but I've seen players removed from play (they just stopped posting,) and I believe it was handled as you suggested above. You might want to ask in the messageboards, for other opinions.

The character hasn't had such an impact on the game that we couldn't basically just ignore that he was here at all. I'd be surprised if his post count in the game thread topped fifteen or twenty.

As for PFS credit, i'm assuming there are rules in place for a player beginning but not being able to finish a game. I don't know the rules, though. I'm sure you could shoot a PM or email to a venture captain or other notable/experienced PFS DM.

I am very sorry to hear about your father-in-law Falvreab. I hope your loved ones are able to cope as best as possible given the circumstances. All the best to you.

GM Robert Brookes, since we are probably still in the early stages of the scenario, I believe the best option is to proceed with the current remaining members of the group, producing no Chronicle Sheet for Falvreab in the end.

Thanks for the advice Helgoron, and Eben.

Both tables of this chose to go in the same direction. Hilarious! Sorry for no update yesterday, the boards were down when I had time to update things.

Sorry about the unintentional irony guys. Forums went down while working on the update last night. I got one table up this morning. I'll get you guys rolling today.

lol. no problem, man. looking forward to the update.

Hey hey successful update!

Helgoron, you want that Shield of Faith wand? Or do you want Mors to carry it?

With Brox in the chokepoint and the undead going before him ... i'm not sure why i thought staying put and readying a melee attack was a good tactical idea. :/

... apparently I'm doing a REALLY good job of roleplaying Mors's 8 int.

Helgoron, you want that Shield of Faith wand? Or do you want Mors to carry it?

I guess it will depend on which one of us will be taking the frontline first :D

I am fine with either of us getting it.

... apparently I'm doing a REALLY good job of roleplaying Mors's 8 int.

That made me laugh so hard.

Glad I could entertain. ;)

Hello people,

Wanted to let you know I am going on a few days vacations with my family this Sunday, and will only be back on next Friday.

I am supposed to have wifi coverage, and will most likely be able to check the boards, but my posting will surely be spotty, if any.

Feel free to bot me as needed to keep the game moving ;)

Hey GM! Helgoron PM'd me and said he wanted to sell all his loot and give me the gold. Yeah...that's it!

Can we do a roll call, here? Who's still engaged in the game? We're seriously lagging in terms of player posting.

I'm still here. I'm having to put more space between posts because my freelance schedule is heating up pretty crazily (and you'll all know why next year when all the stuff I can't talk about is officially announced. :[) I think we lost Rahk, but I'm pretty sure everyone else is here... though I would like to see a sign from everyone just to be sure. I'm working on a post right now.

Right-o

Here ;)

I'm less concerned about you, Robert. More so about Rahk and Brox.

Point-of-order: I'm a squishy guy with a spear. If all things were running nominally, Brox would lead, and I'd back him up with reach. If everyone present is cool with it, I'd just as soon RP him, than put us all into a poorly-strategized conga line of doom.

I figure: prolonged absence = no objection.

I don't know what the rules are for botting someone in a PFS game, though. If you don't want to lead, then Helgoron or Mors will take point ... loudness or no. I think if we're rushing and squeezing, stealth is going to become moot, anyway.

With Rahk and Brox both seemingly MIA I'm concerned we're dipping into territory that makes the table illegal. I wasn't actually prepared for this eventuality, so I need to look up what happens if a player bails. I'm not sure if I need to throw in an NPC, bot an inactive PC, or grab someone else.

Exciting and weird newness!
