I have survived the holiday family visit and am back! Hope everyone else is having a good time.
Back home and posting as well. Catching up now.
Happy new day/month/year/decade!
I'll get things rolling along here again by the end of the day.
Happy new year to you as well!
Happy new year!
Its been a very stressful week for me, and our monthly game that i was behind on preparing for was last night. I'll try to catch up with y'all this afternoon.
Take care.
Agreed, take what time you need.
I may not be available to post at all tomorrow.
A quick heads up:
I will be taking a short trip leaving early Thursday, getting back late Sunday. It will be a jam packed trip and I don’t expect to be able to post. The Monday I get back I start a new job, and my schedule will be changing. Instead of the irregular 5-1, I’ll be working the normal 8-5. It may take me some adjustment, but I hope to figure out a regular posting regimen sooner than later.
I'll be traveling starting Saturday for a week but I should be able to post some in that time.
Take care of yourself, lest you get sick from having sleep adjustments and such.
Take care!
FYI: I'm back from my travels and settling in to the new job. I'm hoping to find time this evening to post an update.
Welcome back!
Welcome back!
Apologies for delay. This week has been tricky for me getting to update pbp.
Sorry for slow posting. My daughter got married last Tuesday in Colorado and then my mother had a heart attack Friday. She is doing ok and is already back at home, but these events have eaten all my time. I am back and on a regular schedule again.
Oh wow! Those are very understandable reasons for prioritising time elsewhere.
All the best to you and yours.
Things are returning to normal. Hard to not feel stress with so much going on. We are also about to list our house for sale, so doing time critical projects there and spending $$$ like crazy = Stress to me. lol
Wow. That is *alot* on your plate.
I can totally relate to the swinginess of life. January was a real rollercoaster for me. I hope things smooth out for you.
A heads up. I'll be at a con for most of today and playing D&D for most of tomorrow.
I apologize profusely for the constant animal husbandry. Gnomes gotta do what a gnome brain says to do less they start to dull out and die.
I'm fine with Toulbe trying to solve this encounter with cured meats.
Yup. Every skill set has a moment to shine.

From a GM standpoint, rolling on a random table and declaring "a griffon attacks in the night, roll initiative" is quite boring. Getting to explore the full potential of such a random encounter and building in decision points for the party is what makes it fun. Luckily, theres plenty of lore written for griffons (gryphons?) to play off of. Hopefully, the encounter was still intense and the threat of danger real, even if the final resolution is a peaceful one.
I enjoyed how it was handled. Well done. :)

On a different note, something I didn’t realize while building this character.

Relic Hunter Inquisitor. Lvl4 can get full BaB using Occultist implements. Allows for divine casting using Wisdom as main stat, instead of arcane and Intelligence like I’m using. A really neat way to have a full BaB Dwarven character with casting and plenty of skills.

That is a pretty cool idea, one I will try and remember should I make another inquisitor. :D
Posting to all my games: My grandmother died Sunday and I'm not in a great headspace for posting. Plus I have to travel home for the funeral, help with arrangements, that sort of thing.
I'll try to get a few posts in, particularly if my character needs to do something in order for the party to move forward, but probably won't manage much in the way of RP or helping with decision-making for the rest of the week. Please bot as needed. I hope to be back in form by next Monday.
My deepest condolences. All the best to you and yours.
Sorry for your loss Adu.
Give yourself what time and space you need, Adu. We'll be here when you get back.
Adu, I am sorry for your loss. You have my condolences.
Thank you all for your patience. It ended up taking a little longer than I'd thought, but for the most part things seem to have settled down. I should be back to my regular schedule.
Welcome back, Adu.
Welcome back. I'm still trying to work out life on my end, will likely post over the weekend.
Glad to see people are here. Wish all the best to you both.
Working on mapping out this mine. Apologies for the load screen.
How is everyone holding up in this time of global crisis?
Currently I'm still going into work, but holding sessions strictly over the phone. My partner is working from home and going a little stir crazy. We are trying to get out as much as possible over the weekends. Thankfully, Santa Fe NM offers bountiful wilderness adventures, and there's plenty of hiking to be done. I'm thinking we may go camping this upcoming weekend.
On saturday my home group held our first remote session using Discord. Successful, but not as fun as being in person.
I’m working from home, as is my wife. All 3 of our kids are out of school. It’s a challenge to get work done while ensuring that they are getting proper schooling.
Working from home here. Only leaving for walks and what shopping we need to.
Same. Working from home. But I currently have two homes. I am in Indiana where I will be full time by July. My other home is in Alabama and I hope to sell it soon, but cannot imagine houses will be selling well in all fo this self isolation.
Indiana just issued an "Stay Home" order that goes into effect tonight. Sounds a lot like lockdown. We can go out to pharmacy and for food but that is it. And we can walk dogs, etc, but not in groups. I had planned to travel to Alabama Thursday to do things needed for the house there but it might not be allowed, and if allowed I am not sure I am allowed to drive back. Strange times.
Continuing the trend of working from home. It's been strange, although the cats are happy to have laps available 24/7.
I haven't forgotten about y'all, post to come soon(tm).
Good to hear that. :)
Kicking myself for *again* not prebuffing. I really shouldn’t play characters with intelligence over 10. :p
I'm in a similar boat here!
I currently have an earache so my response time might be affected.
Lvl4!
Stats: +1 Dex (15, 17 with enchantment bonus)
HP: +7 (27->34)
BaB: +3 (+4 with bow and shield on person)
Skills: +7
Saves: +1 Fort +1 Will
Panoply Focus (Su) At 4th level, a panoply savant gains 1 additional point of mental focus each day, which can be invested only in implements associated with his chosen panoply. At 8th level, and every 4 occultist levels thereafter, the number of additional points of mental focus he gains increases by 1 (to a maximum of 5 points at 20th level). This ability replaces shift focus.
Lvl2 Spells! 2x per day
Lvl2 spells known: Bowstaff (allows bow to be used as a quarterstaff, so no other weapons needed), resist energy
Arcane Pool: 4->5
Transmutation Implement: 4->6
Resistance Bonus: 1->2
All in all, a good level!
Glor takes a 4th level of Geo Kineticist.
Assuming average HP he gains a total of 10 hp.
BAB goes to +3 and he gains a total of 4+2 (background) skills.
Fort and Reflex saves both increase by 1.
Hew gains a utility wild talent - I believe he will take Elemental Whispers and gain a familiar that he can form up as when needed. I'll have to think on the actual type.
His DR increases to 2 and can be increased to up to 4 with burn.
Hurrah! It may be the weekend before I level up.
