Lurking while I update ze game.
Roll20 died on me CDL, didn't mean to just leave without a word. Will be back when it decides to cooperate.
I'll be travelling tomorrow and I'm not sure how often I'll have internet access over the next few days. If the group opts to retreat, Morythine will use the withdraw action.
If he gets gutted I'll roll up a new character! :-)
Obviously, I say that we retreat. We might be able to take out the remaining ogres downstairs, but a potential Xanesha Round 2 is something that we should probably not fight without Stirge Man. We can always come back later.
@Thron: Here are my fort saves for the negative levels.
...If the DC is 16, then it looks like I managed to shake off one of them.
Lurking as I compile a loot list for you guys.
For those of you who survived (or will be returning), LEVEL UP!
Theodric: I know you have been hit with some RL stuff. Your last actual in-game post was 10 days ago. Where do you stand on that?
Setsuna: the save DC was in fact 16. You now have 1 permanent negative level (as permanent as that really is in Pathfinder, at least...lol).
Of further note, seeing as we lost several characters here, I want to go ahead and make this blanket statement for any and all current and future PC/NPC deaths: I do not intend to allow the group to "loot" the body of fallen allies, unless they had the potential to have been enemies, or their loot obtained by another means through out the campaign. This would result in forcing my hand to do one of the following...
1) Allow the game to spiral out of control on the WBL scale (if you earn it through the campaign naturally, I'm fine with that, but not through the abuse of reintroduced characters).
or
2) Not allow replacement characters and/or new members to start with as much gear.
What does this mean from your current loot hoard? Well, fortunately for you guys, all of the Black Arrows members gear was able to be retrieved through other means throughout the game (aka back at the Graul farm). So, it is fair game. However, Shalelu has been a steadfast ally of the team for quite some time, and should you end up not reincarnating her, I think from an RP standpoint, it would only be appropriate to bury her with her belongings, or try to find a distant relative to send them off to.
Theodric? Although he was only with you for a short time, and clearly had not earned your trust entirely, he still put his life (literally) on the line to help here, and as such, deserves a respectful send off from the fine group of heroes he traveled with at his last.
However, consumable items such as scrolls, wands, and potions on any of these bodies are entirely fair game, should you choose to scavenge those items. Their value is comparatively low enough, or will eventually run out of charges and be useless. So, if you guys DO want to try to loot any of that from their fallen bodies, let me know and I will add those items to the list.
Looking forward to coming back, but I have a question which will impact the manner in which I return. Zoli and Setsuna, did you indeed stuff my body in the bag of holding and if so, how long are you keeping it in there?
Let's say for now we use the bag to move everyone's bodies down to a safe chamber in the cave, beside the one we sleep in. Then we'll have to take them out since more than one can't fit in it anyway.
Would Olympus allow Zoli or Eugeni to ride him down?
EDIT: as far as looting allies...I assume that (once Riley v2.0 refinds us) we'll have him 'offer' reincarnation to all allies. If all of them return, "next of kin" is simple. If not...more complex, especially for "Marcello"...but I hope Crusty is planning to return with gusto before too long...and if not it's easy enough to RP the character getting reincarnated but becoming an NPC who goes off on his own after this. He doesn't necessarily have a reason for a strong bond with us other than shared PTSD.
Oh Handle Animal. How I love thee.
Olympus is trained to bear riders now, and Zoli worked with him to get him to that point. So hopefully there won't be much problem getting down.
I think Thron said the storm would last for 30 hours, so Riley v2.0 is coming back in a thunderstorm. Have some thoughts about that. But that still means the remaining party members have a bit of time in a cave to wait. I don't want to rush it too fast so you can have some rp together.
I do want to RP the night/morning in the cave. I'll definitely post something later today. Thinking we don't want to miss the opportunity of RP there before we explore the keep
Definitely a good opportunity for a good RP scene.
Leveled up.
I know that Paragon Surge and Blood Money are cheese, but we are miles away from anyone who could cast Restoration on me. Even if I took that spell this level, I would have nowhere to purchase the 1000 gp worth of diamond dust. Given the slow nature of PbP, it would be months before I got a chance to remove it. As such, better to get rid of it now.
Zoli is leveled up.
And I caught Crusty on email. He's still quite busy but expects to return today or tomorrow.
My own gameplay post coming...today, still, I hope!
Anyone around and want to get on roll20, or RP together? Not sure how long I'm here but will hang as long as I can!
One post mostly ready to go, I think.

I'll be on.
I'm staying at my poorly grandad's house for the next few days. He has no Internet (not surprisingly), so my updates will be sparse or nonexistent.

Lurking this evening.
Hey Jelani (since you just posted) or others, pop on Roll20 if you can!
I'm in and out, but Stalwart's trying to get a couple folks together for Riley's "I'm back!" roleplaying and the dramatic reveal.
And... this is the new me!
Lurking.
...as are CDL and me. Just sayin'.
Wait, did I die?
As I mentioned I was busy with real life stuff and couldn't get around to post.. but if I died, then poo. I've posted in my other campaigns that I'm back and can post again (tomorrow night after work in particular). I.. really need to catch up.
Yeah, the ogre barbarian was cutting through characters like so much wheat. All the NPCs died, plus you and me.
Going to be lurking, transcribing, and posting here in about 10-20 minutes.
For s#~$s and giggles, Zoli and I rolled to see what 2 options Theodric would have had, had he been reincarnated...the results?
Sahuagin
DM's Choice.
Both are GREAT!!! But I'd totally go with DM's Choice! I mean, who wouldn't?!?
Hoping to resume involvement in the campaign in the next few days, sorry for the silence!
Man, I cast like twenty burning arcs from the townsquare in Sandpoint. And people still died?
^^ Like!
You coming back from retirement, O Mage From The Stars?
Lurkinating for a while.

Lurkin'
Getting ready to begin a stretch of 7 nights at work. Will post as able.
Go ahead and post whatever post-battle RP you would like, and feel free to try to interact with NPC's. I will answer and advance the story as my schedule allows.
Finally back around, sorry to miss y'all earlier! I'm finally back around, if anyone else is.
Loot Qs: Zoli would love the headband of CHA +2 and the ring of protection +1, but happy to negotiate with others who want'm too.
There is currently an unclaimed belt of giant STR +2 and a few amulets of natural armor +1, and some random stuff like a wand of acid arrow (that all surviving party members would need UMD to use) and some gloves of arrow snaring.
Check out Loot Tracker 2 (linked from campaign tab) and let me know what you'd like to claim (or PM me a gmail address or google account, and I'll give you edit access).
Wait, are we level 8? How did I miss that?!

(my emphasis)
Back online and should be able to post regularly again. So what happened to Morythine?
Ate a full attack from a gargantuan, CR 15 monster, and managed to survive.

y tu tambien
Leveled finally. Sorry for missing that before.
For the record, I've added the map of the region you obtained from Fort Rannick to the Roll20 page, with Turtleback Ferry. It is labeled exactly as you see it in the image there. If you have any questions for anyone about anything there, feel free to ask.
If you have questions about areas not labeled, feel free to ask that as well and mark the area in question so I can know exactly what you are referencing. Even though the Black Arrows may not have known about it and marked it on their map, others might.
Morythine's in bed so can't contribute directly to the discussion, but might it be worth going aquatic and investigating the wreck of the Paradise. Not that I'm particularly eager to have a rematch with Black Magga!
Lurking for a while.
Was goofing off and browsing the internet for possible reference images for each of you guys, this is what I've found so far:
Eugeni - Possible 1, Possible 2
Morythine - Let's be honest, we all know that THIS is Morythine.
Rilee - Possible 1, Possible 2 (minus the sword)
Setsuna - Possible 1, Possible 2, Possible 3
Zoli - Possible 1, Possible 2
Of those I like 2 the best.
Oh yeah. Zoli's not snuggling with that first guy.
I like both of the Zoli ones, though not better than the one I currently use. What I really want is my current image with bare/hairy feat and a skin tone closer to this one. (Well, and with shorter ears and a scimitar instead of a longsword...but those are quibbles.)
...But not enough to actually attempt it myself, or hire someone to draw her.
