I've had a lot of work-BS going on last few week's. I'm an accounting manager for a corporation and been dealing with 2 major projects during year end close and some very incompetent other department heads not delivering on-time. Luckily, this now seems to be slowing down and returning to normal, so my days aren't pushing 14hrs anymore.
My biggest problem is posting in scenes were either my characters aren't really part of the discussion or really have nothing to say in those moments, but rather watching and listening for a time to appropriately interject. But I am also relatively new to the forums-based games instead of in-person, so that just might be something I need to work on.
Dagmar is still ready to go.
If you would be willing to put your info into this spreadsheet for me to use as a combat/adventuring manager, I would appreciate it. Or if someone would just want to put all of them in, that would be great. I'll put up some links in gameplay soon.
I'm assuming the Pazio office isn't open on weekends, but hopefully they will transfer over GM rights soon.
Alright, Ukrim should be all updated now on the spreadsheet. Thanks again for taking over for us, SuperTumbler. I look forward to seeing what you do.
I put my info over and I will second Urkrim's statement. Thank you again!
Same and thirded!
You are welcome. I hope I can live up to your enthusiasm. I've posted initiative and a Battle Map in Gameplay. Usually, these are things I would post at the top of the page in the short Game description section, but I don't have access to that until I am the GM.
As for how initiative rolls, I would prefer that everyone go when they have time to post, rather than wait for each person to post in order. You would only need to wait if you are below the enemy iniative, so just Glenda is this case (sorry, bad luck) I think that keeps things moving at a much better pace. Basically, you are freely using delayed actions.
Also, in play, if you don't mind, I will roll as many passive rolls as possible. So instead of asking you to roll initiative and losing a day, I'll roll for everyone. Same for automatic knowledge checks, perception, etc.
And let me know if the links don't work, or any other problems. Or if you just hate the tactical map format.
Each of you has an icon there that is layered on top of the image, so you should be able to select it and move it where you want to go.
Right now I have it set so anyone can edit it. If you want to lock it down to your email address/google accounts, we can do that too.
Please feel free to give feedback, positive or negative. We can smooth out how things function as we go, but I know you guys are eager to go and I want to strike while the mithril is hot.
Thanks Tumbler, it is super appreciated and I am excited to get going with it as well.
I'm assuming the spiders know that we are here already? They're all like "the hell you doing in my house?" and I'm all "DWAAARRRRVVVEEESSS!!" back at them :P
I'm on the road and can't easily finish updating the spreadsheet, but I should be able to get it tonight or tomorrow.
No worries, Glenda.
Yes- thank you Tumbler, you're already fulfilling dwarfy dreams!
I love the spreadsheet and the google drawings! This is great, especially so because we can move the icons!
I don't mind you rolling our passives at all.
No issue with you doing the passive rolls. Sorry about the delayed post. This weekend was busy.
I edited my post a when I realized I had the color spray cone wrong, GM. Had to make a 5' step to avoid Ukrim being caught in the blast.
You guys are my heroes, throwing threats and such for me.
Also, I am just super excited to be back and playing this game again. Feels real good despite the poison.
I believe Dagmar and Nalnera are still under, with me, unless they climbed me without help.
That is true. I was very tired when I moved my icon
Tumbler, if Paizo customer support doesn't give you GM rights tomorrow, you may want to email them. They never emailed me back and obviously have not granted you thread ownership.
I emailed them tonight.
This is the third round so I think I am up there now, right? I will wait to post to make sure but if I do not post later it is because I managed to bust open my lip at work. If it starts bleeding while I am asleep then I will be at the er for I do not know how long.
Oh geeze, hope you get that taken care of Nalnera. Are your teeth okay?
I have to admit I'm confused at this point, did Dagmar make it up round two or is she still down 1st level?
Yeah my teeth are ok but the side of my face is swollen. But the cut did not reopen while I slept. That was my main concern since I am such a restless sleeper. I will get a 'lovely' scar out of this ordeal, which sucks.
I think Dagmar is up there.

I love you guys, this is about to produce some hilarious (and deadly) slap-stick comedy.
Woot some stuff happened while I slept. Also I realized I learned mage armor and that confuses me since I have armor.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Our resident Monk will happily accept all mage armor!
Truth. Ukrim will love you forever for casting mage armor on him. Monk is unashamed for buff spells. <3
Kay so I will not trade that spell out later then. I do get some decent buff spells later so that can be a thing.
Yay stuff it happening! I though this weekend would see nothing happen! I seem to have missed the bulk of the conversation. Well that is what my phantom is for. An excuse for not paying attention!
I don't know how fast the paizo customer support usually works, but it's been over a week waiting for the GM transfer. I'm not sure who I might be able to complain to...
I think I sent the first email to the wrong address. I sent it to customersupport when I should have sent it to community. I think I sent the one to community@paizo.com on Monday night, so it hasn't been quite so long. I'll send another one tonight.
I see they gave you gm privileges, hooray!
Sorry for these huge data dumps. I'm trying to get all of this info to you and still keep the story moving. I want you to be able to interact with the environment, but also not get bored with the progress of the story, so I am assuming some things and hastening the exposition a bit. Feel free to slow anything down that is interesting or that you want to linger on.
Also, as for getting GM privileges, I'll try to get some things up in the Campaign description this weekend. Links and useful info.
I think the pacing is fine! As long as we all agree on a direction feel free to shepard us towards it, and if we want to stop and smell the fungus somewhere I'm sure we'll say something.
I concur, the pacing and detail is great so far. I think we're all just very excited to have the adventure still alive :D
Yes, it's lovely! Great job!
No complaints!
It works for me especially that we can choose to focus if we want to.
Sorry absense. Will catch up today, been dealing with 75% of company laid off monday so i'm backlogged with 4 peoples work and we're consolidating buildings so moving tomorrow.
-Posted with Wayfinder
75%? Wow.. I'm glad you still have your job, though they had better be paying you the salary of 4 people.
Apparently I went to work and never hit the post button so I will do something different since more conversation has happened. Also 75% is a huge number!
If there was some way we could subtly detect enchantments on Geirni, it would be nice.
Detect Charm could do the job, but Dasur doesn't know it.
I figure we'll be in town a day or two, maybe our wonderful cleric of Magrim could cast it at some point? (If she wanted to). Not sure what everyone else's spell lists are like.
I can, if someone suggests it ICly - Glenda's not the type to suspiciously deploy this kind of thing on someone who's giving us hospitality unless it looks like it's going to turn into an ambush. Also, we'd have to figure out how to cast the spell in a way that lets me scan Geirni without being noticed when casting, because if someone is controlling him and they can make a Spellcraft check to recognize that I cast detect charm, well, you know how that will go!

Ok, Geirni's latest little speech there reminds me of Lando Calrissian in Empire Strikes Back describing how he just made a new deal that will keep the Empire out of Cloud City forever, right before he turns over Han to Vader.
Question for the group: The setting for the campaign has Dammerhall as an above ground Dwarven hold, sort of like a Sky Citadel. All of the above ground entrances have been shut off, and so you are on a journey for this lost underground entrance.
When I ran it for my home group, I switched Dammerhall up to be entirely in the Darklands. This made more sense to me, as it makes it more imperative that you go underground, and more of a big deal that you gain control of the surrounding areas. As written, if you could get to Dammerhall and redeem it, you could close off the Darklands and stay above ground. I'm happy to do it either way, but I thought I would see what appeals to the group.
I am fine either way. The Sky Citadels are a big part of Dwaven history and the idea of having a flying city is awesome. Though remaining in the Darklands has a lot of appeal too. Pathfinder does so little with the Darklands.
I basically assumed that Dammerhall would be underground, in the best Tolkienian tradition, so that would be my vote.

Let's be honest- the drow will probably alter the deal, then alter it further without any prayer involved.
GM: I'm for Dammerhall being mostly below ground, with a convenient (now destroyed) surface entrance. Lined with statues and all sorts of dwarfy things to impress the sunlings!
Party: We should talk to Tamar, copy some maps, and stock up on provisions. Does anyone have knowledge:Geography for copying maps? Dasur will at some point, but 1st level just didn't have enough skill points to spread around.
