I'm tracking Tipene as following Quillin around - but I'll give a wee bit longer for either of our other two intrepids to weigh in before moving us forward in thread tomorrow.
Makes sense to me.
We appear to be missing two of our recent acquisitions and the scene hasn't engaged with the rest of our personnel. I know that the flow hasn't been breakneck or desperately engaging, but I would have thought the scene as presented would have at least piqued some degree of interest and involvement.
Are we dealing with purely a Thanksgiving driven aftermath? - or does the PbP have a damaged rudder and is tacking in circles?
Lysandra is around. You may just need to be more direct or poke her. As for Red Tom... doesn't appear to be active atm.
Post-Thanksgiving slowdown for me, along with that other thing. Besides, I think I'm reasonably up to date; waiting for something to happen now that Tipene is armed.
Mostly a Thanksgiving slow-down for my part.
Should be getting better for the most part, but there will be a few days here and there where I may be more silent as it is year-end review time and I have write ups on my direct reports that I need to do over next week or so.

I do not envy you AT ALL. I thank whatever watches over me every day that I have no direct reports.
I have a few, and I really need to meet with them now that I've finished writing their performance evaluations.
Well, would you look at all the management types... ; )
Slammed after a relatively epic week - will be passing out on the couch shortly... and shall have the post up tomorrow!
Trip on Lysandra: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
...Tordek's distraction making him an easy target, while Lysandra from a more stable platform is similarly unable to stop dropping to the floor.
Sea Legs (Ex): At 2nd level, a sea singer gains a +4 bonus on saving throws against air and water effects and effects that would cause the sea singer to slip, trip, or otherwise be knocked prone. He gains a +2 bonus to CMD against grapple, overrun, and trip. This ability replaces well-versed.
Lysandra has a CMD of 17 vs. trip and should be standing still unless you were counting her as flat-footed. I will wait for clarification before posting an action for the round.
Nope - you're still standing.
For my ease of reference could you make a reference to that bonus next to your CMD on the sheet?
Will do.
DM has sucked this end of the week and I apologize, but there shall be a post up on the morrow.
Just a quick one - I'll be off for a short holiday sojourn down to Singapore starting tomorrow and stretching through to the 27th of December. As expected I'll be a wee bit incommunicado through that time and probably won't be posting.
Merry Christmas to all regardless and I hope that you all get to descend into tryptophanic nirvana.
Just a quick one to state a hope that your Christmastimes were enjoyable, I'm back in the saddle and recovering from my short holiday - though I understand we probably won't get back up and running until we've left the year of 2016 behind us.
Well behind us...it hasn't been a good year, at least in the US.
Still shaking the dregs of 2016 from my boots - post will be up before the close of the weekend with apologies for the delay.
Just a short note to let you know that I'm still here - just a very rocky start to 2017, work turmoil and potential significant changes, etc, etc.
I should hopefully even out to a level keel soon though.
Heh. It'd be hypocritical for me to complain, under the circumstances. I should be back with the Freebooters soon, though.
Dereliction of duty has been too oft an occurrence by myself over the last couple of weeks and for my part I apologize unreservedly. Work situations have been fluid and undulating, but hopefully have reached a kind of conclusion in the last couple of days that will at least give a stability. It looks like I'll be uprooting my roots in a couple of months and repatriating back down to Australia. Much excitement, trepidation and confusion... but hopefully after this weekend I'll be in a better head, mind and body space to roll on forwards.
Patience is both a virtue and appreciated.
Distractions and delays from the moving process (and job application process) continue to prevent me getting into a good headspace for posting.
I am NOT pulling back, but I will be scatty for a while.
After an interminable time keeping you waiting I will have to face facts and realise that I'm not going to be able to keep things rolling here. Turmoil of packing up 11 years of life, flusterances over work and the occasional roll of existential ennui are keeping me from giving you guys what you deserve - which is a DM that's actually able to engage consistently and deeply to progress the campaign.
From the medium term it looks like I'm unlikely to get into a situation where I can resume steady posting either - as I'll start FIFO roles working offshore after I do relocate down to Australia, which will put sizable black spots over my time for PbPing. I'm likely to be flat out keeping up with the three PbPs I'm still playing in let alone being able to block out time for DMing.
So I'm sorry, but I'll need to curtail. It's nothing on your characters or conduct, I was engaged deeply and happily within the whirl and whorl of the campaign... but the road of life has hit the cobblestones section.
Well it's sad to hear, but real life must take precedence, I know the pain!
It's been a pleasure, and I'll continue to traipse around the boards if we find ourselves in a position to adventure again!
Real life comes first. Thanks for running the game and good luck with the new endeavors.
Sure. No worries.
After what you'd said about your life situation over with the Freebooters, I'm not surprised. Good luck getting things shipshape, mate. Thanks for running!
