Sorry things have been a bit crazy lately.
I just got back after being stuck out of town after a terrible convention experience. I'll try to catch up when I can. Though at the moment I can't think of anything I can do, as I can't identify these outsiders, they're probably immune to most of my spells, and I have no way to find the invisible person.
Sorry, my health is bad at the moment. So no update.
Take care of that first, always. Thanks for letting us know.
I hope everything turns out alright and you feel better soon!
Feel better. Take all the time you need.
Not a problem. Look after yourself, hope you feel better soon.
Just an update for you. I've had Meniere's disease for 30 years now. I haven't had a bad spell in over 5 years but last week it flared up again and put me on my back.
It's fading again and from experience I should be good to go in a day or two. Thanks for your patience.
No worries GM. Look after yourself first, don't worry about us.
Take all the time your recovery requires

Good news. I'm nearly back to normal.
Bad news I've got to catch up on a few things that got undone while I was busy being sick. So tomorrow I'll be back to updating.
Thanks for waiting.
My father has just had an operation. He's had a malignant melanoma removed from one of his toes. Needed a skin graft.
He's been told to bed rest for seven days, so I will be spotty with my updating over the next week while helping my mother with him.
Dad is the worlds worst patient, hates being dependent on others and hates being told what to do. Mum was a nurse for 50 years and takes no s%+@ from anyone, so it's going to be fun. :)
No problems GM. Hope he recovers OK and you don't get stuck in the middle!
That sounds like it's going to be....lively. Take your time. I'll try to get caught up as well.
A recap since things have been so disrupted recently.
You attained your seat on the Pirate council and voted on several issues.
You received a warning from Tessa Fairwind that your old enemy Barnabas Harrigan was building his forces to take your island from you. She suggested you find his old first mate Scaggs Rotgram for information on Harrigan.
You also received a request from Arronax Endymion asking you to deal with a group of infiltrators spreading rumors that he is a Cheliaxan spy.
You have just done so and received the promised Squadron to add to your forces.
Development: If the PC s deliver the proof of his innocence to Endymion, the pirate lord thanks the PCs profusely. Although something
of a sadist and a murderer, Endymion is as good as his word, and provides the PCs with a squadron of warships captained by a snarling, scruffy, but quite compelling commodore named Brok "Madshanks" Cordain
MADSHANK'S MARAUDERS
Configuration 5 war ships
Commodore Brok "Madshanks" Cordain (Profession [sailor] +15, Charisma modifier +2)
Hits 20; Morale 3
Defense Value 25
Attack Value +15 ; Damage 1d6+5
Morale Check +2
All you have left to do now is find Scaggs Rotgram. Which is a DC35 Diplomacy check in port. Harrigan is notorious for making sure no one leaves his service alive, especially officers.
On my way home from being at work since 11pm yesterday. Might not be on until tomorrow. Probably going to eat and pass out
Just some friendly advice. This one is going to be very nasty! :)
Duly noted. Will post in a bit
Running from this is probably the smart move. This is from the top of the random encounter table and is seriously bad!
She is a 16th level caster, once per day she can summon what she did. A CR13 minion! So dodging and running would count as a victory to me.
So essentially a CR 17 encounter at least.
Sorry. Monday has ambushed me, so no update today.
The week from hell continues, I'm battling bureaucracy for new hearing aids at the moment. And I'm arriving home too tired to focus. Hopefully things will have cleared up by Friday and I can get back to doing something I like.
I hope you're victorious in the end. Look after yourself, don't worry about us.
We've been here a long time; there's definitely no rush. We all have to catch our breath after the encounter from Hell anyway. ;)
Okay, the loot list is done; please review it here. GM, please feel free to update the link in this game's header. I've included each PCs starting equipment (magical only) at this point in time, and the loot from our encounter at Lady Nightshade's theatre tavern. We have 13461 if we sell everything now; that basically pays for the magical hull upgrade we're looking at.
I entered the equipment shown on everybody's sheet today as your starting equipment. If for some reason that wasn't accurate, go ahead and let me know what I should change to get it accurately listed.
You have my handy haversack on the list twice.
I don't have need of any of the stuff from the latest encounter.
The wand of Grease might be useful on-board the deck of a ship. Especially since I don't have too many physical offensive options on land. Other than that, I'm good.
Looks right to me, thanks Kung for doing this.
I don't need anything from the last encounter, happy for Cally to keep the wand and for everything else to be sold to fund out upgrade.
Looks good to me thanks Kung.
Sorry about last night, I got on to update the games and the board was painfully slow? I did two games and it was getting slower with each one, so I had to drop the updates.
Anyone else have that problem?
Yeah, Paizo's response time was super-laggy last night. I even did a speed test on my connection and it was fine, just taking forever for the boards to respond to any request.
I'm heading out of town for the weekend; I should be able to carve out some screen time to post, but I can't guarantee it. Returning late Monday, which is a long driving day with no posts for sure.
Yesterday was a public holiday in NZ, today and tomorrow I'll be preparing for heading out to look after my father for a week while Mum has a holiday visiting her grandchildren in Australia.
So posting may be spotty over the next two weeks, hopefully it will be as it usually is and I'll have some free time to keep things rolling.
I'm going on a short break from tomorrow morning, so my posting might be spotty until normal life resumes on Monday.
GM - as an Englishman, I'm sorry for your loss. I'd appreciate it if NZ beat Wales into 4th on Friday though.
@Marnir. I have no complaints about the game. England were by far the better team and deserved their win.
Good news I've arrived at my parents, bad news is I've arrived at my parents. I'm switching between my parents to watch Dad, and my brothers house to watch over his crazy dog, and he doesn't have a computer?
So the next week will be spotty sorry.
No problem! I have two extremely busy weekends, so a slower schedule is fine.
@GM, when you're back to regular PC access, can you update the loot link in the game header to the new sheet I built? Since the new sheet includes a PC wealth calculation, we can see that Kung is way over everyone else. He's currently sitting on 21k gp, so I'm going to donate that to the party fund. I'll also sell the loot that we're not keeping. We can pay for the ship upgrades out of that pool, and have plenty left over. Niobe is way under the average party wealth, so we should focus some spending on gearing her up for a bit!
Ok all, tomorrow I will be moving back to a house with a computer, then I head home on Friday. Oh well. So updates tomorrow all going well.
@Kung, I'll do it Friday when I'm home on my PC. The one with all the correct links.
Ok, things didn't go well, so I'm returning to regular posting on Mon. Sorry for the delay, but a stubborn old man, and a crazy German shepherd have run me to the bone. :(
Not a problem GM, no worries.
I'm heading out for another vacation this weekend. This is the last of three consecutive weekends that I'm away, so I should be around for a while after this. I may still get one more post in today if it's sensible for my character to act, otherwise please bot me until I show back up on the boards on Monday!
@Kung, do you have a link for the new loot sheet? I can't find it in the folder.

I'd like to thank everyone for their patience, I'm back home and rested. Along with a nice new keyboard. Replacing my old one that I had for six years.
You get so used to something you take it's faults as standard. I'm finding a key board where I can read the keys and use all of them as strange and new :).
Loot sheet in now linked up top.
Speaking of aquatic combat my live group is nearly finished Ruins of Azlant. I've found it a very enjoyable AP. One with no real flat parts as some AP's suffer.
I'm running a Sorcerer with the aquatic bloodline and she is really suited for the AP.
However the aquatic parts don't really start till book 3, so you can run a character that isn't solely designed for underwater and get enough loot to buy yourself magic items to do it for you. Or find them as you explore.
Sorry, no time to update tonight. :(

Tuesday has ambushed me again, sorry but no time to update tonight.
As may be typical for many people from the US on these boards, tomorrow is the Thanksgiving holiday, which gives many of us a long weekend. I'll be busy much of this time with family and other obligations, and may not be able to post much after today--if at all--until Sunday. Please feel free to bot Kung if necessary!
Sorry, I've been very busy the last few days and have no time to update tonight.
The Christmas madness has hit me again. So no update tonight sorry.

No update tonight. I have a lot of drinking to do. Free drinks! :)
That's the best kind of drinks! Have fun.
Today is my last day at work until after Christmas. I have a family wedding to attend this weekend then a different set of family coming for Christmas, so I'm unlikely to be able to post until I get back to work on the 27th.
Please bot me if needed until then, and have a Merry Christmas.
