The Ironfang Invasion: Fangs of War

Game Master vayelan

I will have to tally up what Daria has today or tomorrow. Note that WBL in exactly the items you want to buy can sometimes be more effective than >WBL based on what you actually found adventuring...

Daria is at approximately 98k gp value of her items not including her current stockpile of created herbalism and alchemy items.

Dorrin

Okay, I think I've got him finished.

How are feeling, team?

Feeling good!

All groovy, here.
Working on finishing my work reading forward in the ap.

Dorrin, expect a DM to go over how we'll introduce your character.

Will do! *thumbs up*

Hey guys, almost ready to resume.

I'll bot both aaron and Lily until there's a good place to have them leave.

Looking forward further adventures!

Sounds good. Still watching. :)

Hey there, was a busy week workwise and then family visited...post coming soon.

Hey guys

sorry for the additional delay, been distracted by RL stuff. Got notice my contract was supposed to stop end of march and so the work I did in April won't get paid out ( gonna get a lawyers opinion on that ) so scrambling to pull funds from friends and family to pay for the important stuff. Plus my car's engine died....hmm, they say things come in threes...uh oh! :)

So been slinging the ol resume all over the internet as well....

Anyhoo, I'll try to get back into the swing things...

Al

Ugh. What a crock of crap that sounds like. If you did the freaking work, you SHOULD BE GETTING PAID FOR IT! Oh man, that is fantastically frustrating. Sorry to hear that, bud.

And hopefully, you can find a ride that has a working engine. :P

Man, talk about "raining and pouring". Ugh.

So sorry to hear, Spaz, hopefully that third bad thing got mugged on its way to you and never makes it.

So sorry to hear, Spaz, hopefully that third bad thing got mugged on its way to you and never makes it.

HA! Yeah, no joke. Mugged, packaged, and sent to the moon, for crying out loud. :P

Just freaking reload from a previous save, Spazmodeus. You'll know how to win the 2nd time through. ;P

Sorry guys, RL is kicking me in the ass right now. I'll try to get back to regular posting soon.

Hi all,

Finally sorted out my various RL stuff enough to return to the boards.
Apologies for the extended absence.

Who is interested and willing to continue?

Thanks
Al

glad to have you back!

I'd like to continue, I've really enjoyed this AP even with the pacing issues during gameplay. Vayelan made a valiant effort but has had two kids and just didn't have the bandwidth anymore

I would enjoy getting restarted, but it would take me a bit to get back into it.

I gotta say, I really thought this one was dead. Pretty wild.

I'm here, if anyone needs me.

OK that all of you I think....Lily was the last to go awol if I'm not mistaken.

Give me a few days to re-familiarize myself and we'll get started again!

Thanks

alles gut?

Yup.
Work got me busy for a bit and pretty much finished getting my stuff re-ready to get back at it.

I think for simplicity , I'm going to retcon aaron and Lily's departure to have happened back in town and Javell's new character having joined up with the party then as well.

Any objections?

Works for me.

I don't have objections. Truthfully, part of me, at this point would consider rejoining if the campaign is opening again with a more constant and faster update pace. Two other campaigns I was in since last time have stalled or ended and as such I have a bit more time to work on other ones. However, I am also going on three short vacations in the coming three weeks and the group would have to agree to me rejoining.

Basically nothing has happened in this campaign since you left, Aaron, so as far as I'm concerned welcome back!

I too would like to set a better pace, PBP is already slow at the best of times

Yup. no problem here with you returning Aaron!

If there are no objections, I’d like to make minor h ch anger to make my PC slightly less powerful in favor of flavor. I think the optimization thus far has been sufficiently tuned such that we have a good chance of winning any individual encounter, even with slight power reductions.

For example, I likely would change my character’s primary weapon enchantment from keen to merciful. I may also change his primary weapon from a scimitar to something silly such as a gnomish weapon.

I would also contemplate moving him into being a bleachling gnome in lieu of a regular one. The change would have slightly fewer mechanical benefits but it would make sense from an RP perspective.

No objections here.

And welcome back, Aaron! ;P

And HA! Didn't realize that was you, Trevor86. :D

Thorek just poked me in PMs, and I realize I hadn't provided an update.
Just sorting through some RL stuff these past weeks, but fully intend to continue.

Looking at the weekend or early next week....

Thanks
Al

Hey there... sorry. had a post up earlier this week but looks like it got eaten by the forum issues. I'll get it back up this weekend.

Appreciate your patience.

Hey guys,

Just some bookkeeping before I get us started again.
Gren, where is Ringo? I can't remember if he disappears or just goes small.

Could each of you give me a post showing all of the buff you currently have active?

Going forward , I'll roll initiative for everyone, keep things moving that way.

Still no response from Paizos to take over this campaign, so I'll be posting a link to my maps in each post.

Again ,thanks for your patience, I know it's been a while.

Daria currently has Ironskin (+5 AC for 9 minutes) active.

Thorek has Ironskin active, for the same CL and bonus as Daria I believe since she's the source with those poultices. No other buffs active currently

Dorrin has nothing at the moment.

But he's also not there yet. :)

@Javell....actually he is. Remember I decided for simplicity that Dorrin's been along with the gang the whole time, essentially replacing the awol Lily.

So feel free to buff up as needed.

Cool.

Longstrider +10' speed for 1 hour/lvl. (3 hours)
Goblin fast: 10 minutes; 30' speed.

The 2 combined would be 40' speed total.

Hey guys,

Just some bookkeeping before I get us started again.
Gren, where is Ringo? I can't remember if he disappears or just goes small.

He’s my mount, and he usually has an extended reduce animal on him that makes him medium-sized. Because he can fly, he can go where anyone else can go as well.

And you've been handling his action in combat?

Also, need your buffs , please.

Yes, I have been handling all of his actions, since I take the actions simultaneously with my PC’s.

It appears we hadn’t decided on what buffs to use at the moment. It had been some time since we last had an encounter (in the valley above) and I asked if I should refresh and cast but we didn’t yet. It appears the buffs from that time ran out before we descended.

My PC has a poultice from Daria of iron skin but it hasn’t been used.

My animal companion has constantly running animal focus ability and at the moment, I’ve used a few minutes of animal focus on Grenwold as well. The current configuration is both the shadow and owl focuses for both, in order to scout. I believe at the moment that those are the only buffs that are active, based on the recent post history .

Ok thanks, Gren.

Right, Aaron's on a bunch of vacations...so I'll sort him out and bot him.
I've got a bit of work to do on my end, but I'll get us started , hopefully, this evening. if not , tomorrow.

Thanks
Al

bump?

I was waiting for Gren to post...then got busy. I poked them today, I'll give him until this evening to post before I bot him.

So sorry for the delay, it's all my fault. I've gotten busy and forgot to post in most of my threads. The paizo plugin died on chrome and I have to switch to firefox to keep track of things better. I didn't even realize there was a post until Monday.

Will get something up tonight. My apologies.

sorry , I was quite sick at the beginning of the week...missed that Dorrin had posted.

I haven't recieved a response from Paizo customer service about getting owenership of the campaign.

I think I'll create a new campaign, and have a link back to here as the first post, and we'll continue on from there.

Man, I've had issues with that myself. Was actively looking for a post in a specific game I was in - because we were in combat - and nothing ever popped up.

I eventually checked it, and there was a post nearly 2 weeks previous! I was so ticked off. It was working just fine before that! I have no idea how the notices just quit on me. Freaking out of the blue.

So now, I have to go in and purposely check all my games if there's no post update. I'll give it a few days and if there's nothing, then I'll check it anyway.

I just don't trust it anymore. It's annoying.

I think Paizo barely does jack with the boards anymore. Especially considering how Spazmodeus has waited forever to get the game in his name. I've heard that from other folks too. Same problem.

And there are still some other technical issues that they'll never address because they just don't care. Too busy working on product. Which, I get it. That is what makes them money.

But it's still annoying.

Sorry, guys. Thought I'd posted and then got busy with work and a thanskgiving weekend.

I'll get up next combat post tomorrow.
