Hey all. Glad to see all the posts while I was away from the computer doing mothers day stuff. I am back and looking for a place to jump in but am having trouble.
1) It would help me if we had a character roster to keep track of who is who in this place.
2) Tolvan does not have great investigative skills, but is ready to both try and to help others with his knowledge skills. As for his help if you need it.
Also I see this as complex for the DM to keep track of everything too. As an example, I tried to get some info from Delgros and Duristan. After a reminder from me Delgros had the decency to spurn my question and show disdain, but Duristan did not respond. I think Old Guy sort of missed my question about the dogs. So Tolvan figuratively is back in the room with Duristan waiting for him to explain why Delgros is hesitant to bring his dogs on the hunt.
I think we are all with the warden at present. Oathar is attempting to get your attention as subtly as he can at present.
Everyone is in with the Warden right now.
Just a heads up, I will be going to Pittsburgh Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. to visit my Aunt. she has Cancer and we don't know how much longer she will be around. Doctors said she can no longer travel.
not sure on posting ability during that time.
Sorry to hear that, Kim. Take your time.

Aaand we're bickering again. I was actually planning on sneaking up there while you guys casually chatted, but then you had to go and announce your intentions to do just that!The room has a fireplace, and you just saw the note that says that servants listen to conversations through the flue. Unbelievable.
But seriously, I'm digging it. Don't ever change. :)
Sorry to hear that Kimberly. We just came back from my wife's grandmother's funeral.
Sneakin' is your job Anna, Oathar tends to come at things a little more head on, but he is trying! Yeah, I know he can be trying<G>!
Sorry to hear that Kim. Take your time.
And FYI, Estovion just went up there when he left.
Apologies Ed. Keep the faith.
Apologies again. I kind of over looked the description of the library.
Although I am not sure Oathar would care, but he will follow Danica's lead and stay on the second floor.
Were we not told we had the run of the libraries? What am I missing.?
You are in the reference library. The reading library is on the first floor. You do have the run of those. His office, up through the trap door, you do not.
Hey cool dudes, just popping in to say I'm so happy this game is still going and in such great hands with Old Guy GM. This is the first time I've been on the boards since those last few messages we exchanged. Turns out I do not do school, family, work and play well.
Again, thanks to Helaman and Old Man GM for helping keep this game alive, but ultimately that wouldn't be possible without an incredible group of players being the real heart of the game.
Sending you all warm fuzzies and all that! You guys rock and I'll probably be lurking your game for a good long while. :)
Hi, Mug!
Glad to hear from you!
Thanks Mug for the kind words! Lurk away, and if you have any suggestions, do not hesitate to PM me.
So I was debating just giving the AC of an opponent in the first round of a combat - maybe after the first attacks - just to make things go a bit smoother, AND allow you to post knowing the results of your attacks.
PROS:
Combat posting efficiency goes up.
RP opportunities in combat posts go up.
CONS:
Reduces the suspension of disbelief.
Let me know what you think. I'll be sending this out to all my games.
i spoiler basic monster combat stats for the players to use when they make combat posts. in mys games. It helps the flow better, I don't give away the monster's HP though so there is still the suspense with that wondering if they hit it hard enough to kill it.
I think giving the AC is fine. This way if I know I miss I don't have to roll for damage and do some RP.
That is fine, I usually always roll my damage with my to hits regardless. What ever makes things smoother:) Hi Mug! Sorry, never did get a chance to play when you were running. I was a replacement after you left.
Seems like you're a great fit Oathar :).
I'll PM you any suggestions I come up with Old Guy GM, but one thing I laughed more than a little about was that ring of invisibility. And for the record the party was not going to get to keep that, lol. Unless they started killing folks. But it appears everything worked out there.
Hey Mug. From the way I read your recent posts, you sound somewhat happier than last we "spoke".
You are most welcomed to lurk. Keep the faith.
Anna would have put up such a fuss. :) It might have come to blows, but more likely than not a Slight of Hand check.
Hey Danica, yeah it's amazing how much less stress is involved when life calms down. Note to self - not a high pressure situation lover. ;)
I knew it was going to be fun getting that ring back from you Anna, the battle would have been legendary. Maybe Golum would have had to make a surprise appearance to do a little finger biting...
Good to hear from you Mug. Best wishes from Alabama.
Tolvan seldom tried to hit things these days unless its a touch AC. But posting the AC is fine with me. Its usually narrowed down with hits and misses before the combat is over anyway.
C'mon, as you can see I'm using it wisely. :)
Gang, I'm out for the holiday weekend here, will continue the investigation when I get back.
No problem Anna. I just didn't want people to get frustrated with the game. I wasn't sure if you were getting to that point, so I made a statement of fact, just in case.
just to clarify, I am not frustrated at all..
I have had lots of work stuff going on. we are short handed and we now have 1 guy out sick, and a second announced his retirement in a about a month. so work load has drastically increased.
Yea, busy here too. Sorry for my absence. I am on a trip with family and have had much less "me" time than anticipated. I'll be back Sunday and will try to jump in. Bot me if needed.
Just not a lot for a paladin to do at the lodge at present, but he is keeping his eyes and ears open!
Guys, I am at Origins this weekend, will be back Sunday.
Have fun!
I was supposed to go to NTRPGCon but lackoffundsitis struck. Have fun for all of us!
I do wish however that when you return we pick up the pace a bit.

I have returned. As to the other, I do the best I can while balancing various factors: family, job, RL; giving all of you time to react and post, etc. I mentioned at the beginning that this part was somewhat difficult in pbp.
I am back as well. Slammed at work today from being gone a week, but slowly climbing out of that hole.
Hey, delays happen. I don't want to put any extra pressure on you, GM. This is the exposition part of the book, I'm sure, so it might seem like it's dragging. But in hindsight it'll be worth it.
You have a RL Old Guy GM? I am jealous! I understand and not expecting this to take a priority over more important things:) (There is something more important than gaming? Never!! j/k! ) Hey, I have no life so sometimes I forget others do!
hey all, been stuck in bed with a bad knee. every time I move there is pain.
trying to keep up but limited in between throbs of pain.
I recommend copious amounts of pain killers! My wife brews a special tea for me that helps a little. Osgoods turned Lupus/Sjogrens combined with severe osteo behind both knees. What are knees? Of course it does have me sometimes forget the players names, sorry!
LOL.
Hey I wanted to say that I finally found time to go back and review the recent play, noting who is who and sorta have an itinerary now. I feel like I have not really been able to follow what was going on recently but hope to be more with it now.
Hey guys. I had a short away time here dealing with AML and Fraud conference. I'm back and can add some attention to the campaign. Danica has high Perception and Survival skills. You could of botted here if you needed to.
I am recovering fine and going through to catch up on everything.
looks like I missed a bit... sorry about that catching up now.
Glad you are ok, and welcome back!
Yes, welcome back. As a group we are trying to decide if we stay in the were wolf instead woods or head back to the manor where it might actually be less safe. :)
just posted a not too convincing bluff to stay I guess.
but as far as I can tell, only the party has any clue about Kimberly having any real skill let alone spell casting ability.
important info concerning me
with Paizo new server update I may have lost access from work which will greatly reduce my posting ability.
I still have access at home, but not on my nook nor my phone anymore.
I have to check my work computer again when I get the chance but so far it didn't work.
Yea, my work computer cannot post any more either. The os is out of date, but its controlled by the IT group and I cannot update it. But I bring another computer to the office every day. :)
