Yeah. A couple of coral boulders can help that out too. At least I think that's what they're called; the ones from the Dungeoneer's Handbook that are small rocks and then expand to small boulders. That way you can block off passages that you haven't gotten to you.
There are lots of cool abjuration and divination spells that aren't terribly useful in PFS or in shorter modules but are fantastic in homegames for situations like that where you might be in a dungeon for a long time (or simply paranoid about zombies knocking on your door at night).
Heh, I wonder if you could walk through a dungeon and cast arcane lock on every door, then leave for a few weeks and let everything starve, and then come back and take the loot.
Nah, the GM would probably just give them an undead template then. . . .
FYI--I'm going to be on vacation again from the 6th to the 16th. Because this game needs to be done by early July, though, I'll try to keep things moving quickly this week and continue to move along while on the road (hotels with free wifi are great things).
On the road again today; will post monster attack tonight.
Thanks! BTW, once this is finished I'm thinking about running either PFS Emerald Spire or Mummy's Mask for PFS credit. Any interest?
Campaign mode.
One of the things that I like about Godsmouth Heresy is its sense of open-endedness--there are several places where the dungeon intersects with the larger underground complex under Kaer Maga (all of them, granted, coming with dire warnings about what might happen to a party that decides to go in that direction). However, that doesn't seem to work as well in PFS, where the borders of the scenario are typically a little more obvious. Something to keep in mind, when you find deep pits.
I have my son at a campus visit today (SIU Carbondale), and am stuck using the phone for Internet access. Will get something up when I get back.
I gamed in a PbP with Seth Gipson a year or two ago.

I don't blame you if you're out there doing lots o' physical labor. I usually don't have the energy for PbP after a day of working on the farm. Luckily I'm only part-time/fill-in this summer until I move to Madison in three weeks. Three summers ago I came home from college to help on the farm full time. After a month of 10-13 hour days, 7 days a week, and losing about 20 lbs from overwork/stress, I decided to stay in Bloomington and work in the lab during future summer breaks. I didn't have energy to do anything but work that summer, it was awful.
Yeah - I'm a teacher 10 months out of the year and work installing cabinets in the summer. Right now, we have a contract with UNR to install in the new grad student housing that is going up. I'd stop, but we are trying to save up for a down payment for a house and this UNR job is paying prevailing wage - much better than what my father-in-law (it's his cabinet business) usually pays.
Anyways, it's just been more exhausting than usual this year and I've just been dead tired when I get home, and then try to entertain my sons to give my wife a little break.
Saving up for a house on the average teacher's salary can be tough, depending on where you live. My wife is a second career teacher, but she didn't start teaching until *after* she'd put me through grad school and I had something permanent.
My brother and his kids are visiting from out of state, so I'm not going to have much of a chance to post tomorrow before evening (though I might have some time tomorrow morning). Hopefully we can get the fight wrapped ASAP and move on to the big one.

Ugh, buying a house is such a frustrating experience. We're going to close sometime this week or next (hopefully by the 7th), just waiting on the bank for final approval.
My bits of advice when you are ready to purchase a house: go to the bank and get the loan application moving early. Dealing with the bank takes way longer than everything else and having the loan process already moving when you find the house will make things go a lot quicker.
Second of all, make sure you like and trust your realtor. I mean really like and trust them. Our realtor in Madison was a nice enough guy and was honest telling us his opinions of the houses and neighborhoods but I always thought he was a little sleazy and that has really come out since we've left Madison and come back to Indiana. Dealing with him over the phone and via email it's pretty apparent that he's not doing his job negotiating for us and is taking advantage of the fact that we're from out of town and first-time home-owners. Even after the bank's appraisal came back significantly lower than what the seller claimed it was worth, he didn't bother to negotiate for a lower price for us (that would lower his commission after all!) and he apparently wasn't talking to the selling agent at all, so the selling agent started bypassing him and calling/harassing our banker, which is really not cool because then the bank started getting nervous about the deal. I called him up and had a heated conversation last week and would like to switch to a different realtor but a week before closing is probably a bad time to do that so we're just stuck with him.
At least it will all be over soon!
And then we've just got the wedding in. . . holy shit, 13 days.
Green River is a Chicago thing. I don't remember who makes it, but the name is from the local custom of dying the Chicago River green for St. Pat's.
the local custom of dying the Chicago River green for St. Pat's.
They say that but it always looks green to me.
Bot me if needed until tonight. I can see the posts accumulating but our internet has been out since last night and I don't like posting from my phone.
There's a chance, mostly because you've got some combat monsters and the zombies really haven't slowed you down. (He also blew his Perception check to notice you in time to drink his shield extract, so he had to blow a round on that instead of throwing bombs. And he tanked on his Initiative roll.)
ETA: Blowing his save against the murderous compulsion is also going to help you a lot, because it cost him an action and took him out of a tactically sound position.
In that case, I'm pretty sure we can wrap this in time.
PFS numbers and day job rolls, please.
No Day Job.
Applying to #64554-9
Sorry for my ineffectiveness.
RL has to take precedence. BTW, what do you teach?
ETA: Also, what's the faction of the character you're applying this to?
High School English. 10th and 11th grade in Reno, Nevada.
I might have mentioned this, but my wife teaches HS Chemistry and Physics, 10th, 11th, and some 12th grade, in Plainfield, Illinois.
Also forgot about this (though Keno didn't): everyone except Keno roll a d20.
Not this time either.

Good, a fellow scientist. I loved physics in high school and college. I ended up with a minor in chemistry too, because apparently I'm a masochist. I still have nightmares about the semester I took neuroscience, organic chemistry 2, honors organic lab, and quantitative chemical analysis at the same time. *shudder*
List so far:
Raavan 3
Keno 4
Chochok 7
Kyra 12
Still need Valt and Arnthoth.
