Thank you, friends. She was a neighbor of mine who’d been in Hospice care for some time with advanced brain cancer, so thankfully it wasn’t anything sudden or unexpected. She made her preparations and we all got our chances to say goodbye long ago when she was still lucid, but it still doesn’t stop her passing from being a somber event.
Sorry to hear about your loss. Take your time.
Dear friends,
I’m so sorry to let you down this way. My obsession with and addiction to online gaming has become something that is interfering with my professional and personal life. While this PBP campaign is certainly a low-commitment on its own, it’s one of many, and compounded with my binge-watching and binge-gaming is a symptom of a much larger problem that I have.
It’s because of all this that I’ve decided to greatly cut my media consumption. As such, I can no-longer adhere to posting here for my own physical and mental health. I sincerely hope you can understand, and I hope that my withdrawal does not hurt the campaign too badly.
Sincerely,
Tassadan
Life has to come first. Good luck to you, Tassadan.
And with a distant boom Splodey was never heard of or seen again.
Hopefully you'll work some sort of balance out Tassadan.
Hope everything goes well for you Tassadan/Splodey... You'll be missed, but your health and real life must always come first... Take care and be well.
Tassadan, thank you very much for letting us know, instead of disappearing. If things change, you are certainly going to be welcome in any of my games I am recruiting for when you return. Take care of yourself, and best wishes.
I'll move you inactive in a day or two, but I want to make sure you are able to read everyone's farewells.
Ok, guys, I should be back to posting normally here. I would like you guys to also return to normal posting. As I've said several times, my posting expectations for you guys are a post a day, except one post a weekend, and more if you want. I understand stuff occasionally comes up, but please let us know if you can.
This group has been really good about keeping up with that pace as much as possible while I was posting slowly, this is more just to keep us all on the same page.
Just got home from the vet. Had to say goodbye to a dear companion kitty today. I'm a wreck and may or may not post later. Tomorrow morning I leave on a 4 day retreat, so my posting may be spotty if at all during those four days. Please bot me as necessary... sorry and thanks.
I'm sorry to hear for your loss Kwiazy.
I apologize for being so silent, I'm working two jobs and have been trying to juggle in appointments and scheduling, so my free time isn't as much as it used to be. I can still play, but these periods of silence may still come up every now and then-if you need to bot me in these silent periods that's fine.
Sorry to hear about your loss, Kwiazy. Losing a pet is always hard.
Thanks for keeping the game going GM!
Three years back I lost my dog. I reacted differently, but everyone has their own means of dealing with grief. I'm sorry it happened to you, anyway.
DM, since I'm at LV 4, that means I get to choose an animal companion; am I stuck with the typical ranger rules, or can I get some special animal companions?
2nd level spell time! Do I get a debuff like glitterdust, a buff like cat's grace (I think any character in the party could benefit from that one), or an outright attack spell like scorching ray or create pit? So many choices...
He, he, funny typo, Kwiazy.
Xakroo, we can certainly talk if there is something flavorful and mechanically about the same power as the standard options. If you own the monster codex, it includes two animal companions especially for kobolds, a cave salamander and a riding python (page 128).
oh crap
ooh a riding python... that sounds so cool.
I actually have the Monster Codex somewhere...and a riding python...oooh that sounds favorable. But looking at the statistics, maybe a cave salamander would be just as good...
Will try to get it done soon. Just the skills part!
I'll get working on her level up soon.
Welcome Poxy!
With goblins everywhere I should really learn their language. One of you will be happy to teach me, right? I'm putting the point in linguistics now. Edit: no, wait - can I learn Aklo from the crysmal?
For magic items I'm looking at Cat Burglar's Boots and Lesser Talismans of Freedom and of Beneficial Winds. If there's problems with any of those please let me know.
Magic items? Am I missing something? Are you a crafter or do we get to shop?
You pick gear so your possessions equal wealth by level every level up.
Got it! Cool! Trinket's levelled up, but hasn't gone shopping. I'll get to that soon.
Hmmm... That's exciting then... So many choices!
so wait what's the wealth for 4th level again?
also I think I'm gonna choose a riding python for my animal companion
6k
thanks, I'll probably get everything completed by tomorrow. also I posted the statistics for the riding python, but I'm still not sure if that's a better choice than a cave salamander...a part of me wanted a raptor (dinosaur) but I feel like that'd be a tall order to ask
But it would look so awesome!

BTW - if I put a point into the Linguistics skill can I learn Aklo from the Crysmal?
Sure.
Trinket's buying a handy haversack and a cloak of resistance +1
OK, I'm done with the level up.
Done with the level up as well!
done as well.
I'm "done" too if you are waiting on us to say so. :) I just took off the negatives for moving down to level 3 and it's back at the level 4 character I built to start with.
okay I'm not done yet, but I still haven't gotten the answer if a raptor would be a possible choice for my ranger or not. once I'm done with that companion's statistics I'll start on the gear
okay now I'm having issues with magical gear-I have absolutely no clue what I can or cannot get; I thought I could get a cloak of resistance, but that requires a CL 5th (while my character is either CL 1st or 4th)
It's a CL 5 to make the cloak of resistance. You don't have to be level five to buy one.
oh, to MAKE it. so as long as we can afford it we can get it, is that what I'm reading?
If you want a dino, we can make it work. I thought you had chosen a snake. And yes, you can buy a cloak of resistance.
I wanted a raptor, but wasn't sure if I could get one. I figured that would be a better choice than a snake
EDIT: Alright, looks like I'm done. I'll make a post either today or tomorrow about Xakroo meeting his new companion
| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
Looks fun. I have a druid with a deinonychus in PFS, and I actually care more about the dino than the character.
honestly, never had an animal companion (or even been past level 3), so let's see how this plays out.
also, would anyone want to RP that they see something (the raptor) lurking near the cave, or should I just make Xakroo go out and immediately see the raptor?
I can see it if you want to RP it. :)
Done. She got a good perception check, so it might be really well hidden, but she can show you, if you want to play it out.
I'm game for that. anyone else can be free to chime in if you want
Posting on my phone; caught some kind of winter sickness, had to call in both of my jobs today, so I’ll be AFK today and tomorrow. I’ll try to be back as soon as I can.
Yikes, feel better soon, Xakroo. I appreciate you letting us know.

I've been away from the computer for a couple of days - migraines. I don't get them often, fortunately. I'm back now.
wb, Jynnjun!
Xakroo, hope you feel better very soon.
Glad you're feeling better, Jynnjun. Feel better soon, Xakroo.
Is everyone done with the level up and ready to move on?
Xakroo, do you want an alias for your new friend?
