I think we all have hit a summer slow, I wouldn't stress over it, especially if you've got health issues. That's more important. :o
Yup and I'm getting hit with work like a giant baseball bat right now (9 days straight, with two doubles in the middle, Maera barely remembers what I look like, let alone our girls...)
My posting rate will be a bit slow over the next three weeks. My smartphone has met with an unfortunate accident, and I'm using an old piece of crud with no internet connectivity. So no posting for me during workdays, or while I'm at tabletop games, or commuting... you get the idea. Once my contract gives me a free upgrade, I'll be back and swinging! In the meantime, please bot me if I go more then 24 hours without posting in combat, or if I'm holding us up from moving on.
Understood. I know this time of year is always much slower. People have other things going on in the Summer, here in the States, at least.
Ok, folks, I'm back. Been a rough period, but I'm trying to bring Diabolito back.
Glad to have you. There has been so much life in the way as of late, I have intentionally been going slow, to be honest.
I'm fairly sure Aramis has overtaken Mikael as my unluckiest character. How can she get so many misfires?!

I don't even understand it. Poor Aramis.
It's absurd. I envisioned her as some kind of musket-shooting badass, but she's fumbling left, right, and centre.

Everybody has to start somewhere, and have a gentle, chivalrous cowboy drifter guide them song to greatness. Our maybe that's just you. :)
You're not tampering with my gun so you have an excuse to spend time with me, are you? :P

Such dishonesty!
Maybe the powder is too damp to fire? Amos should definitely check it out.
Shameless promotion:
If you aren't using This guy's Browser extension, you should probably go get it. It's fantastic.
I have Finally updated Amos's mount in his profile. It now correctly reads that Bullet is a horse, not a morrey eel named Squiggles.
On Wednesday July 29th when I leave for work I won't be home until August 2 due to my trip to GenCon Indy. I will post as I can during that time but it will likely be infrequent. Feel free to bot me during that time.
Thanks for the head's up...Have a blast. We sadly won't be there this year :(
I've had a rather rough few weeks. My home situation is growing ever more hostile due to a particular family member moving back in, and I've found out that I won't have my job much longer due to there being no funding for it. So I'm looking for a job and a house, both of which are pretty unattainable right now - I can't get a home loan because I have no reliable income, and I can't get a job because I'm inexperienced in everything that's hiring. I've been stressed to high heaven at work, and when I get home, I've wanted to do nothing but sleep.
I'm still around, but I'm pretty absent right now, and trying to get my life back on track, and to not post when I'm feeling so depressed (which is pretty frequently). Please be patient with me. I'm trying to work my way back into everything.
Aramis, you know we are always here for you and you will always have a place here.
Good luck and let us know if there is anything that we can help you with (hard to do from the States, but we are here for you!!!!)

12,000 miles is never too far for positive feelings sent via teh intrawebz!
Have I mentioned recently how much I like your writing, Ronza. Simply fantastic.
Oh, quiet. You're making me blush. :P
(Every now and then, I surprise myself >.>)
Is Amos a pirate through and through? Seems he's a bit distracted by booty right now. I'll see myself out.
Seriously though, you guys. Those rolls. Man. That's usually my luck. XD
I'm just glad to see you guys are still with us. I was starting to worry! I was posting today, one way or another, so I'll post the next bit in a bit!
What self-respecting pirate wouldn't be distracted by booty? :P
Sorry, just lost track of the fact I had a post to do here. I think I read it on my phone and then forgot by the time I got home.
Guilty.
Happens to the best of us. Just sad I couldn't get inspired to write more about how much Aramis hates breathing water, and how damned terrifying horses are :P
Don't worry. We have time. :)
Waiting on the results of Indrana's spell before posting. Sadly, I don't think I can get in range and 'pistol'-whip the guy in one surprise round XD
I'm running games at ConCentric most of this weekend, and Sunday night is my six year anniversary with my fiance. Don't expect a flurry of activity from me, and bot me as needed =)
*poke poke*
-burp!!!!!-
Meow!
*shrieks like a pterodactyl*
*Looks at Aramis hungrily*
Kitties like birds after all, they taste like chicken!

Now now. No eating the captain.
Vegas was not nice. The week was spent recovering, in all honesty, for various reasons. I'll post stuff when I get home tonight!
Are we screwed? We're screwed, aren't we?
Is Aramis finally about to fulfil her destiny of doing something stupid and getting everyone killed?
-Posted with Wayfinder
Well, not everyone, Maera and I at least can jump overboard and get to safety I imagine, the rest of you might be screwed though.
Not completely. We just have to move Really Fast
Can we just cut the cord on the thing, and run? Or is it too well protected there too?
That was my plan. If we can't just cut the cord then we... Are pretty screwed...
I love musket crits. I love then so much. ^__^ Aramis might have to start putting notches on the barrel for each crit-death.
Though, I'm GMing for a musket master in Plunder & Peril, and from one GM to another... I'm sorry. I truly am. I know all too well how much a brutal crit can destroy a plan. >.>
This encounter is NOTHING like it is written and I largely don't care about plans. I roll with punches whenever. Maera can tell you. It seems epic to me, because if he had hit you again, this would be a different conversation, you know?
Oh yeah. It could have been me getting blown to bits (figuratively speaking). I'm so glad he didn't have more dex, though... that crit could have saved me. (Plan next round: intimidate the lady with my bonus from startling report :D)
So, any particular effects from that bullet? Any fiery eruptions, electrical discharges, anything of the sort?
This was the first bullet or the one off the earth creature?
The first one, found with the pouch and pistol. I'm hoping to actually figure out what they do before I get 2 attacks per round and will likely be sticking to paper cartridges.
This is the most Amos had talked in weeks! :)
I feel like we are getting back into a nice groove.
