Forums are being bad tonight. I'll get some posts up ASAP, but I'll probably not get to everyone tonight (or perhaps anyone, if the forums crap out again).
Istiel, I'm going to hold off on Gozran 9 until we get others caught up, if that's OK. The perils separate storylines!
100% fine. I was expecting it, honestly. It's easier for you to get caught up with everyone else's business if Istiel is doing one-handed push-ups all evening.
We're waiting till we're all on the same time?
Well, I need to wrap up with Oios and Drazan and possibly Rigel, but I think otherwise we're finishing up?
Quick poll: What else, if anything, is your PC wanting to do in Cornucopia?
I've got Istiel down for some games of glory. Anything else?
I think Imix is now staying undercover.
* Get the kids taught (doesn't have to be him)
* Do the research (does have to be him)
* Back up Shadeholme (maaaaaaaybe doesn't have to be him. He did already tell the Seneschal, right? So just needs someone to cover it publically? Perhaps Chukix or Rigel?)
* Meet back up with the other PCs? Oios especially is likely to have information. If he can send a message asking him to meet up I think he would. He still thinks the wrong things about Rigel so might assume she has information. Actually, a message to Oios makes a lot of sense. The Abbott might well "call him to discuss the Suriname Imix's recent actions", which gives a reason for him to come to the House.
Explore 3 corners.
@ Imix:
- Are you going to leave the kids in Cornucopia?
- give me some rolls, here or in gameplay. You'd have about 5 possible shifts to cover with sleep and research before the excise
- backing up Shadeholme is up to you
- message is no problem.
@ Rigel
- Done and done (soon)!
OK, since I've got an idea of what everyone will get up to, Istiel, lets go ahead and get you into a race.
Aye aye! Time to win gold and glory for Shadeholme! Or whatever they give out as prizes.
Too bad Istiel isn't level 3 yet, that extra 10 feet movement speed would be handy (read: unfair) in a race :p
Good stuff, Oios and Rigel, it made me laugh. Oios, you got put through the ringer for a reason...

I'm probably going to design the race with a series of race cards, so it will entail various obstacles (and thus, extra movement, while nice, isn't the determining factor).
@ Imix:
- Are you going to leave the kids in Cornucopia?
Well, at the moment there is no reason to leave. OOC I suspect something bad is going to happen a the Excise and we flee, in which case he'd take them.
- give me some rolls, here or in gameplay. You'd have about 5 possible shifts to cover with sleep and research before the excise
Okay, so he's done three shifts already. 2 more. With time pressing in he will ask for assistants - perhaps Chukix? the Abbott? I suppose really anyone they think is trustworthy.
Not sure if you meant sleep needs a shift as well, in which case it will be shift 4.Also possible Oios is going to derail everything if he find something weird enough and then tells Imix.
- backing up Shadeholme is up to you
Send Chukix then. He can stand there and say Imix said he'd give X to help, if necessary. Heck, his social skills are probably so much better than Imix's it is a net benefit to Shadeholme anyway.
- message is no problem.
@Oios: consider yourself to have received a message, then. "Could you please come to Suriname House so we can discuss the recent actions of the Suriname Imix.", from the Abbott.

Left my notes at home for racing. I'll get you a post up tonight, Istiel.
Ooooh I'm excited! I wanna win a trip to the Takayan equivalent of Disney World!
Just wanted to say, GMBP, I love the way the Maze's hints are so crpytic as to be almost useless without doing research outside the Maze (and therefore involving other PCs) :)
Very nice GMBP! I came so close to missing that little clue.
Because what Imix needs right now is to have the foundations of his world shaken ;P

Glad you liked it!
I'm not trying to be too obtuse, I promise. It is tough with mysteries to make just the right amount of clarity available. I think I err too much on the side of caution.
EDIT: Also I'm losing myself in dates. You're in Gozran 9 currently.
I'm going to be out of country from 2-26 to 3-10, and probably won't have the opportunity to check email much.
If possible, I'd like to start with the excise tribute when I get back, but we may not get everything else cleared up by then. Still, I'm giving Rigel and Oios a poke here.
So... poke!
Hi all - internet connection has died (it's just one damn thing after another at the moment). Posting from my phone is fine but intermittent.
Apologies. Should be back up in 5 working days, apparently.
Bot as required.
EDIT: Ow! *rubs where large belligerent chicken poked her*
OK, I'll keep it brief though.
Thanks, Rigel - sorry to hear this! If we don't get through everything, no worries - we will pick up everything when I'm back.
I just like being belligerent.
@Imix:
Knowledge geography, nobility, linguistics checks can be made to gather more information from the etchings.
Knowledge Religion as well.
This will get you different information.
Sorry, did you want a roll for each?
Curse you paizo and your hunger for my posts!
Yeah, the forums have been really bad lately!
Think it's the humble bundle doing it.
This First Flame stuff is incredibly cool. I also like how two of the harbringers are missing!
I know the fifth harbringer is supposed to be an invading metal-armored army, but when I first read it the first thing to pop into my mind was Decepticons for some reason. That would have been weeeeeird.
Transformers, Suriname in disguise...
I like Drazen's style.

Actually, your first guess was correct - genre mashup! Not really... I like sci-fi in my fantasy, but not that much!
For the last like three Transformers movies, I've had the urge to buy a ticket and about halfway through the movie yell really loudly, "Oh! The car is the robot!"
Haven't been able to actually have any follow-through, though.
I like Drazen's style.
Me too!
Hahaha I bet you'd get a few laughs at least.
FYI- I will be gone for a few days. You'll be gone much longer BP, so I doubt it will be an issue.
Enjoy your trip and tell us about all your cool experiences when you return!
Will do! Enjoy your trip as well, Istiel!
I like Drazen's style.
I have style? Thanks!
My posting might be sketch btw. I will be travelling quite a bit over the next week.
OK, I'm back in the states, will resume regular posting shortly. Will try and get updates today. Driving all day tomorrow, so probably no posts then, unless they are short and capable of being done from my phone.
I'm back too!
OK, so we're pretty much ready to move on, yes? I think only Istiel has loose ends to tie up, and I forgot there was something I wanted to do with Rigel, but I think both can be spoilered, and I'll just move the main thread onto the excise. If there is anything else you want to do, spoiler it.
I'm back too!
Woot! I hope your travels were good, Drazan!
Welcome back BP!
I'm fine with spoilering whatever we need to spoiler.
And then I didn't go spoilering anything. Probably not necessary - just tag it with the date and it should be fine.
Welcome back!
Going to wait and see what everyone else is up to tribute day first. Likely, Istiel will not petition the king. Her mission to secure more monks has been completed and she considers Fox Priest her personal problem to solve.
I'd like Imix to have talked to Oios.
I'm thinking it would make sense for him to go talk to the Seneschal as well. If the time for assassinations has passed he can come down as himself.
Not sure how well his disguise would hold out among the Shadeholme Excise.
Man, muscles deserves to win this race with those dice. Maybe there's a swimming part and he doesn't know how to swim...
If he drowns he'll be disqualified! I assume.
^Ask and ye shall receive!
Since we're running multiple days for each of you at the moment, can everyone tag their entries with the day or location so that no confusion ensues? Thank you all dearly!
Don't fail me now, dice!
Can do on the labeling.
Back to work today and things are a bit hectic. I have lunch meeting so no update then, but I'll try and sneak some time this afternoon. If not, tomorrow!
Sorry, I'm way behind everyone else - internet connection still f*!"ed. I'll get to it asap.
Sorry from me as well. Work has been rough and I don't want to half ass Oios' reply to Imix.
No worries folks - we'll get stuff done as we can get it done, and if not, we'll bot folks as needed.
OK folks, I'm going to hold off another day or so for people to wrap up, and then we'll move onto tribute day.
