I've got no problem with looking up better maps. I'll try to also give as much information as possible.
I am leaving this evening for the Dominican republic. I will be on vacation for a week. I am told that I will have Internet access, so I should be able to post. However, if I'm holding things up, please feel free to bot me.
Have a safe trip!
Have a good time!
I hadn't mentioned anything but...
On Tuesday morning at 4am, my wife had a heart attack. She's 44, 5'5" & 113 lbs. She does yoga, rides her road bicycle often as she can, walks with me in the evenings 4-5 miles 3-4 times a week and lifts weights. She did 8,000 sit-ups between Memorial Weekend and our trip to the Dominican Republic a couple of weeks ago. Needless to say, she is very fit and active. So, she shouldn't have had a heart attack! Anyway, it was her left anterior descending coronary artery that was blocked just below where it breaks off from the coronary artery. It supplies all the blood to the front of the heart. Having a blockage there is called "the Widow Maker" for good reason. Only a 6% survival rate. She survived. Undoubtedly due to her fitness. We are very lucky and blessed!
She's recovering well and was up walking around yesterday afternoon. The doctors are ecstatic. They say she may come home in the next day or two but will be off work for at least two more weeks.
Well, you know the saying... When it rains, it pours? Well, on top of my wife's heart attack, Kansas City was hit with flash flooding last night. Luckily, my 17-year old daughter was in the basement, sleeping on the couch when she heard water. Must have been a miracle as she can sleep through a tornado at times. Anyway, our 2-year old sump pump failed and I got 4 inches of standing water in our finished basement... which we remodeled last summer!
So, I'm a bit pre-occupied. LOL.
Sorry for the delay, but I know you understand. I fully intend on continuing playing, but will be posting infrequently for the next week or two... until things settle down. If I'm holding up play please feel free to bot me, or, if necessary to replace me. This is a game, and everyone should be having fun with it. I don't want to hold up the game or make anyone feel frustrated. You will not hurt my feelings or upset me if you think it's best to replace me. Totally up to you guys at this point. Thanks for the understanding.
Good grief! I'm glad everyone is OK.
I hope your wife continues recovering quickly, and good luck with the basement!
Whoah! Good luck with everything! I hope it all turns out okay.
As for replacing you, take your time and don't feel like you need to rush back or there's any pressure on posting. Take your time, post when you can, and we'll work around it. Nuru will just be quiet for a bit. :)
And again, good luck!
Wish you all the best and good recovery!
We´re a patient and steady lot here^^
We're cool. Go spoil your wife while she's recovering and rejoin us when you can.
I'll be on vacation and pretty much off the grid for the next couple of weeks, and then at a conference for most of the week following. Bot me as needed.
One other thing--GM L, shouldn't that knowledge check for the esoboks have been Knowledge (Planes)? Psychopomps in general are outsiders.
Yes. Yes it should!
I could pass that DC on planes too just by taking 10.
Quick update: Wife is home and doing better. I should be posting more regularly now. :)
Congrats!
Glad to hear it!
One other question while I'm catching up--Leto, I've played a couple of zen archers before, and IIRC they can only flurry with bows--they lose the ability to flurry with unarmed strikes or monk weapons. Is that something you and GM L had changed up in character creation?
Yes this character is a deal we made, as there are no unchaind zen archers usualy. There are some drawbacks like not using rapid shot.
That grapple still nearly got Leto though!
RAW zen archers can't use Rapid Shot or Manyshot with flurry either, though (which raises the question of why they can get them as bonus feats, when flurrying is AFAICT always a better option for a full attack).
I do recall a discussion about zen archer combined with unchained (for which I have no issue with). Though I don't recall what we discussed about maintaining flurry with unarmed strikes. With that said, if we have or haven't discussed it, I think it's fine. Mainly because it's only ever going to be used as it was here, when Leto is grappled. And I'm fine with you having whatever advantage you can get in that situation.
Healer type searched for Serpent´s Skull AP book 1.
If interested say hello :)
Leto--how far along are you?
We are off the island and back in the city.
Level 4, so probably start book 2.
Looks like one of the other players lined someone up already. I should've checked earlier this morning.
Yes that went surprisingly fast.
Next time^^
All set.
And I'm a real animal companion now!
Will update tonight, have to contemplate the feat.
Fun thing is, i can´t take most of the usual bow feats as normal feats because Leto doesn´t meet the DEX requirement, nor do i want to take rapid shot.
That is actually something to watch out for with Zen Archers.
We didn´t receive any money or something right?
Updated.

Sure, but you get most of those feats (if not all the important ones) from being a Zen Archer, so it's not a huge loss. You get to use those other Feats on useful stuff. Monkey Style is pretty good for an archer, as is Extra Ki Pool. There are a lot of pretty good non-archer feats that are useful for a Zen Archer.
And no, no money from the priests. If you want to sell gear, you can. It'll take some time to find enough places open and willing to buy stuff, but it's doable during the daytime (so, after the group rests). And they're willing to pay normal prices. You can also find normal gear, pretty much anything non-magical available to purchase. Shops aren't necessarily open-open, but there are some willing to do business, at least. If you intend to do that, let me know. It'll probably take a full day to sell anything more than one or two items.
And no, no money from the priests.
Marnarius grimaces. 'Mercenaries.' Hah.
Oh that was more an insight for me about Zen Archers for when i have to audit one next in a PFS context.
Will take a look at monkey style, but did actually consider extra ki yesterday.
Just asked about money because the loot sheet was last updated a while ago.
We haven't gotten any loot from the monsters we've fought in the city, I think.
Yeah, it's been a while since you've found actual treasure. Though you do have a ton of useful stuff, like cloaks of resistance and a circlet of persuasion. :)
Update. Going for extra ki.
Is someone actually wearing that circlet? If not, someone should!
Erei has it.
You've got a bunch of potions that some people might want to use. And the amulet of natural armor is probably useful for someone and if you aren't wearing a cloak, the resistance +1's are good.
Hello,
the next 2 weeks i will have scarce to no internet access.
Please bot as needed.
Marnarius is updated.
+1 BAB
No changes to saves
FCB: +1 HP
Skill ranks:
+1 Acrobatics
+1 Disable Device
+1 Perception
+1 Sense Motive
+1 Survival
+1 Knowledge (Local)
+1 Knowledge (Dungeoneering)
Feat:
Extra Slayer Talent-Rogue Talent-Trap Spotter
I think that's it for changes. He'd like to take the +3 STR mw composite longbow, one of the cloaks of resistance +1, and the amulet of natural armor.
Sorry for the delay. I'll move things along tomorrow and hopefully people that haven't updated yet can catch up! :)
Updated my prepared spells (traded light prison for ghostbane dirge, just in case).
Having minor surgery tomorrow, but will require general anesthesia and some good pain meds for a few days. I may be "out of it" until the middle of next week. Please bot me as necessary.
Sorry for the delays. I'll work out a post moving on tomorrow. If you have anything to buy, scribe, or make, go ahead and let me know.
Anyone here interested in doing PFS/SFS scenarios PBP?
Decided i´m going to run one soon again.
A heads-up for everyone--my work finally got around to blocking the rest of the Paizo site, so I no longer have access to the boards during workdays. Although I can still post from my phone, it's a right pain these days with the Wayfinder app not working. So I'm going to be much slower posting, I'm afraid. Under the circumstances, Leto, I can't commit to any new games, or I'd be interested in taking you up on that.
I'm thinking we hit M next, though G would also work. They're roughly equidistant from us, and neither of them calls for getting too close to the gate.
I may have some time to post tomorrow, but after that I'll be extremely intermittent until the 27th or so. I wish you all a fine holiday, whatever you celebrate.
Happy Holidays!
Happy holidays!
A quick heads up: I am headed on vacation starting this Thursday evening. I will be back next Wednesday morning. I believe I will have some Internet connection but unsure how reliable it will be. Please DMPC me as necessary
