Back, catching up on posts now.
As for the game, the enjoyment of the game is very important. If the GM isn't enjoying it posts will become slower and slower and the game will die. I've played through most of the first book before and noticed there seem to be several parts that can easily be cut or altered with out issue for the story (they might turn out to important) particularly in the boat trip.
I've been very happy with your GMing style so far particularly the extra NPCs, the only thing I would say is that sending us back to the prison bogs down the game rather than rewarding us for avoiding a lot of the combat. Given that you started us more powerfully missed treasure shouldn't make much difference, and can be given in other ways.
Yeah, initially I sent you back to the prison because a couple folks expressed disappointment that they could just walk out(though it was pretty funny in my opinion) but it shouldn't take too long. With the devils' attacks and influence Blackerly and his guards are all that are left, then you can loot and do what you like to the place (burn it down or whatever you like).
The burn down part sound like fun.
Do we have to kill the guards first though? Cant we just tie them up then burn everything. They make funny noises that way
Take them alive and you can do what you want with them. =)

Recovering from a procedure might be a few days til I am perfectly coherent, in the meantime perhaps we can start a PC conversation about what to do next, etc?
Still recovering but doing better, all I really need from you guys currently is to know what, if anything, you want to do with the prison then I can move us forward, assuming there isn't anything else you guys want to do immediately. =)
I think Annie wants to burn the place down and Angelica wants Blackerly to torture. Johann has no opinion on the matter but would like to watch.
Sorry I have been sick, starting to feel better but still mostly in bed.
Cool, also, hope you get well soon Tim.

How many of us are still around? I don't know how to split the loot. The game kind of lost its momentum especially since we're now updating character sheets and loot. A rolecall on who's still participating would be useful.
I would actually like to see if we can get things back on track and get close to a post a day each going, slow games tend to lose players, if you guys are down I'd like to accelerate things and get this ship sailing again.
no problem, I'll try to pick thing up again. (Quick warning having been away sick there is a lot of work to catch up on. So I'll try to post daily but the posts might be short.)
Johann: I'm not exactly sure, certainly you, me, Annabelle and Angelica maybe Damienm although it have been 2-3 weeks since he posted.
I've just listed a long list of largely utility formula's so that I can create a bunch of potions for the party, or for members personally. I have a think about what might be good to have. Remember my minimum casting level for second level spells is 4, so the cost to make them are 200gp each
I was thinking:
Cure Moderate Wounds,
See Invisible
Restoration (lesser)
Would be good for starters (or more than one of some of them.)
And later more when we have spare cash.
Been away
Long drive home
More tonight I hope
I'm away at a convention this weekend (long weekend here), be back Monday.
Going out of town myself for the next three days, when I get back I'll post more story if the tea party hasn't moved forward=)
I'm back, sorry for the delay, going to bed soon but I'll catch up and post tomorrow.
Would you guys like me to open up a recruitment thread or should I wait til book two? Or would you guys just prefer to play with who is left?
Given our power up I don't feel the need for more people yet. Although it is easier to add people now rather than later.
I'm fine with either, but I also think that fresh blood would be great! Might be hard to tailor encounters to only three PCs depending on what you've planned.
I do think some new people would be helpful...at the least more input and ideas as we progress.
I don't know the story beyond the prison so I don't know when would be a good time to bring in new people.
Alright, I think I will open up recruitment at the beginning of book 2, there is a natural lead in for new people there and I can advertise it as the start of book 2 as well so people know where their starting.
had a computer hard drive crash last night. hope to resolve it soon.
It's all good, just post when you can.=)
computer update
using wife's laptop, when she isn't watching Orange is the new Black episodes
I removed the old Hard drive and I think there is a chance the files can be salvaged.
still need a new computer so been shopping around
I got Hero Lab installed and working with my second licence number on the laptop.
Just letting everyone know that I will be insanely busy at work for the next week and a half. I will post when I can or when work gets too frustrating.
It's all good guys, this game has proven a slow one in general, take your time=)
hello there.
looks like my posting has been drastically reduced due to the new security protocols Paizo updated.
most of my normal log-in places can no longer post.
so I apologize for being silent. I am trying my best to keep up.
It's all good=)
Seeing as we are very under manned right now I can if you like use that knowledge roll if you guys don't want to try to figure out what to do.
I have no problems acting without the knowledge just hoping to get some response. However in general I have no problem sensible other knowledge skills be used at a small penalty.
Sorry, real life has gotten really, really busy. It appears I have to take a break for a bit to handle some things, I will return on Saturday the 25th.
Thank you for your patience.
NP let us know when you are back.
No worries. I hope all is well with you. =]
Back, sorry for the delay=)
Sorry guys I am having a monstrously hard time posting on Paizo right now, like 9/10 of my posts are being eaten and it keeps saying the website is down.
Ouch. My sympathies. I hope you haven't lost any of your posts.
Hate that, at times I have taken to writing everything in Word and copying across. That way I can just copy it again if the website eats my post.
I download an extension that auto-saved forms specifically so I won't be inconvenienced by it. :P Though I have found it useful in other forums.
Quick note to say where I have been...
spent the last two days moving my son to NYC in his new Dorm at college. been long hectic couple of days.
tomorrow I may need some rest I hope to get caught up more late tomorrow.
I am sorry about being silent.
It's cool Annabelle, and also, while I am still have the same technical issues I will work to post in gameplay right now.
I'll be away for the next few days until Monday
and BTW I'm enjoying this but suggest we recruit a couple more players after this section.
So, here is the situation; I've been having some computer issues for a bit but I didn't think much of them but now it looks like my comp is going kaput and, being the poor person I am, I can't easily afford a new one. Not to sure what to do at this point, I can post on my phone but it's glitchy and really not suited to long posts.
As much as it galls me I may have to suspend the games I'm in til I get a replacement comp but I don't know when that will be. I think my only real choice right now is to just put my games into hibernation then once I am capable again of regular big posts send a PM to each player to see if each is still interested in picking the game up again.
No problem. Thanks for the game so far. Good luck with getting a new comp.
That sucks, Yuugasa. Thanks for running the game this far, and I hope you can get a replacement soon!
