Hey folks. Sorry about the radio silence, I've been moving house and am still without Internet. I'll try and get a post up soon but it might not be before Friday!
Thanks for letting us know. Congrats on the new house.
Hey folks,
@Mott - thanks, now if only the phone company would be as nice as you and set my internet up!
Only reliable internet is from work, and as a teacher that means I'm busy every moment I could be online!
Hopefully an update will appear in the next day or two!
We'll be waiting. :)
Sounds good!
Ok folks. It's getting really iffy where I'm located here in Northern CA. The Camp fire is getting really close so we're watching for evacuation orders. If that happens, my posting may be sporadic. Please bot me if needed.
Thanks for letting us know. Hope you and your area stay safe!
Morning folks, I hope those of you that do Thanksgiving haven't over-indulged too much!
Firstly sorry about how slow this is getting, I'm still without internet at home and bringing books into work to post is obviously a little difficult when I stand in front of kids all day! Currently hoping for net in first week of december when things should improve.
Second, Meloriel (Ashlyn) has had to withdraw from the boards for a while due to RL opportunities. I'm in another game with her which is how I know.
What are people's thoughts? Continue with the four of you? Recruit another, or call time on the game?
I would say recruit a replacement, but I imagine we could continue with just four.
Please give my opinion the least weight, however, considering the short time I've been here. :)
I wasn't even aware that you were missing internet. Good to know.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Do we know what 'a while' means in terms of Ashlyn's absence?
I get the impression it means 'lengthy' at least...
I definitely don't want to put the game on hold so soon after Tettia just joined us. Let's try it with four for a bit and give Ashlyn some time/see how it plays with the current composition before we recruit a replacement.
Sounds like a plan.
First of all, I'm really disappointed Meloriel's gone. I thought she was a great contributor to the game, with Ashlyn and Elizar adding a ton.
I would very much like the game to continue. That said, I think if we can't get your posting rate up, GM, it's likely going to slowly fall apart. Like others said, My thought would be let's continue with the four we've got. I typically prefer five so if we can get going again in December, let's look for a new player after the holidays.
My posting rate will be better when I can post at home. Another couple of weeks hopefully. Trying to keep things ticking over from here but big combat posts are hard.
Hi, guys! Although I am cutting down time on play-by-posts in order to make time for a new RL opportunity, and have had to drop some games, this was not one I had intended to drop. Ashlyn and Elizar are much too fun.
So... Not going anywhere yet. And thanks for the kind words.
Cool! Nice to know you're still gonna be hanging around. :)
Hurrah!
Good to hear that we still have Ashlyn. Hopefully the RL changes are good as well!
Hooray! Sorry for assuming Ash! :)
This weekend my family’s going to be super busy so I’m not going to have a chance to make a post. I should be back to regular posting by Monday evening. Feel free to bot me if necessary (details below).
Thanks!
Botting:
...The next three attacks of Ashlyn's will be unarmed strikes that will also deliver chill touch damage. Due to 'aquatic combatant' she takes no penalties for fighting with her unarmed strikes underwater. <Unarmed Strike +5 (1d3+2 +1d6 negative energy plus Fort DC 15 or they also take 1 Strength damage.>
...After using up her chill touches she will fight in melee: <Unarmed Strike +5 (1d3+2)>
...She can also use spiritual weapon one more time <4 round duration, +7 attack, 1d8+1 force damage)
...And can cast cure light wounds up to three times (healing 1d8+4) and use potions of cure light wounds twice (healing 1d8+1)
Do you care where I roll my crits?
My copy-and-paste "macros" have several rolls already included -- the Intimidate, parry, and riposte. While the crit technically should be rolled before all of those, because of the way I've got it set up, I already know what those rolls will be, which feels a little cheat-y to me. I can do it whatever way you want, obviously; just let me know which you would prefer.
I tend to think its better done in order, but I don't really mind either way as long as you pick one method and stick with it. Consistency is the main thing!
Today will be the last post I make for a few days, as I'm spending the holidays with my family. I will resume regular posting on the 27th.
All the best, and Happy Holidays!
Happy New Year, all. Thanks for what's been a great game so far and looking forward to more in 2019.
Me too. Listening for when people get back!
Echoing above sentiments! I've been taking Xmas off from GMing but I'll be posting again tomorrow. :)
Happy happy happy new year to all
Happy New Year!
I think we're waiting on you, GM. Ready to get going again?
I'm sick. Not sure I'll be online again in the next two days or so. You can bot me if needed.
Hey everyone,
Not sure if any of you are interested in Kickstarters, but my brother's gaming company just launched a Kickstarter today for a fun new gaming book that's Pathfinder 1st edition compatible! He's been published in some Pathfinder books before and written some PFS modules, so you might already be familiar with some of his work. I had the chance to do a lot of freelance work for the new book, which is really exciting (and time consuming! Haha). It's gonna be great! If any of you are interested you can head on over to the Kickstarter and help make this project a success!
Realms of Atrothia: Primary Expansion
Thanks!
If we get a chance, Sarine, we should get seaborne for your weapon (or see if there's a spell or some other item that can grant that).
Or Aurelian Fache will give you lessons on how to use a sword with finesse. ;)

Better now Aurelian the Green-Eyed?
Hey all,
Just FYI, tomorrow is my last day working evenings, before I switch to a Sunday-Thursday day shift at work. I'm not quite sure how that will affect my posting rate. I don't plan to go anywhere, but especially as I get used to my new sleep schedule, I may be a little haphazard at first. I'll try to keep up (especially since the games I play in usually don't need quite as much attention as the ones I GM), but apologies in advance if I'm a little slow at times.
Sorry everyone - been having trouble sorting out a map for this one (I only have 5 and 6 as PDF's) but nearly done. Will update once I'm home and can check the books!
Sorry, my kids and I are very ill. Might be another day or two before I'm up and posting properly.
Loath though I am to interrupt the Aurelian/Elizar flirting. What's the plan then folks? Further up the mountain or go to investigate one of the new sites you've discovered?
Up the mountain.
And I can't help it if Elizar is attracted to me. It's just Aurelian's natural state...
Thank goodness for Elzar. Poor, gullible Ashlyn would have fallen into Aurelian's bed that first night and had her heart broken by the second.
Elizar = life saver.
Fact.
Advanced warning:
It's both of my kids birthdays tomorrow and we have a lot of parties to attend this month. It's unlikely I'll be able to post any weekend in March, starting with this one. And I definitely won't be posting tomorrow. Bot me as needed, please!
Thanks!
Happy birthday to your children. Enjoy. Eat ice cream and cake for Aurelian Fache.
Clarification: are you
a. retreating back to shore (the fighting retreat)
b. pushing on for the island (the path of no return)
c. waiting for the crab to come back (more brave than brains)
????
Tettia would like a), but everyone else seems to prefer b) or c) and between the two, she doesn't qualify for c).
Ashlyn would wait for a few rounds.... And if it doesn't seem to come back push for the island.
Her preferred vote is b.
I'm pleased with B as long as the others are.
Current Health
Jenner/Sarine/Tettia: full
Ashlyn: 23/33
Aurelian: 8/37
About the current path decision: my understanding was that it would be relatively simple to climb back out of the tunnel we're in and skirt along the edges of the island to reach the beach area: even if we're swimming in that part, we'd have access to the edge of the island to make it easier and chances are good we'd be able to walk or climb part of the way.
The tunnel path is just more water and darkness as far as we're currently able to see, I think.
Is that right?
Sarine is doing fine on resources after Jenner's healing: she's almost full hp, has both of her spells left and more than enough rage for a good fight. I'd say to press on except I'm not sure how our healing resources are doing. That trap damage roll was high. Sarine has 1 CLW potion on her, but that's hardly comforting at this level.
Note for later: we should look into getting access to Rope Trick for times like these.
Ah, sorry about that. Tettia was under the impression Sarine was suggesting we return to the shore where we fought the skrag. Oh well, misunderstandings make for fun RP as well. :)
Sarine is right on all counts, although its worth adding that the tunnel (should you go a little closer or have darkvision) slopes upwards - suggesting a way further into the island.
What's the plan? We had one vote each way and then Aurelian vote both ways at once (presumably because Aurelian Fache never lets a lady down! ??)
