Yay! Jobs! Speaking of which, school just started for me, so I've been srcambling around remembering what its like to work. :) Soryr for any resulting slowness.
Awesome. Congrats!
Congratulations, Yorick! :D
Thanks guys. It'll be awesome to work for a company that isn't s$~+ty.

No problem at all. :)
Sorry for the delays on my own part. Will have a post up for you guys in the morning.
I'm going to be away from my computer a big part of tomorrow, so feel free to NPC Baird if necessary.
Big post coming in the morning about the Deep Gnomes and this new... individual... that you've encountered.
Woo!
As a heads-up, I'll be at Pacificon this weekend, the 29th through the 1st. I will try and check the boards each night and make sure I'm not missing something super important, but posting will be minimal. GMPC my character if necessary.
No problem, have fun! Play lots of games for me!
Sorry for getting this post up so late, guys - that whole "new job" thing starts after the long weekend, and I have about a billion projects to wrap up at the old job before I go.
I think I can speak for all of us when I say: No need to apologize! Work does have a tendency to interfere with the important things in life (gaming). ;)
Also: have fun, Talas! I'm jealous of all the cons going on over the pond.

Haha it's true.
Also, I'm not sure where you are exactly, but I don't think you can be toooo jealous since you guys have Essen. At least here on the East Coast of the US, all of our conventions pale in comparison. :P
I've got some RL stuff to deal with over the next few days, so I may not post, or at least not frequently. Feel free to move my character.
Was planning to have a post for you guys this morning, but forgot to get the PDFs loaded onto my work laptop. I should have one later this evening. Exciting things are on the horizon.
Hopeful ping? RL comes first, of course, but I miss this game!
Ask and ye shall receive!
(I want to quit my job and just play PBP games all day.)
I'm going to be very busy from the 20-26th of October, so I probably won't be able to post then.
I'm finally getting settled into my new schedule, so I ought to be able to post more regularly with this.
I'm also likely dropping from 3+ other games, which will help.
Sorry if I'm slow to respond to anyone - my mom has fallen ill, and I'm heading up to see her today. You can NPC my character as needed.
Hope that you being back means she's doing better, Baird.
I'll have a post for you guys soon. Sorry again for the delays. My own family had some health issues over the last couple of weeks. :(
Yes, thank you, she and my father have improved to the point where they're both back home again.
I'm really sorry to hear your family is having similar issues. I hope they get well soon.
I'm celebrating 3 birthdays this weekend, so I may not get a chance to post. Have a good weekend, everyone!
If a 21 doesn't confirm a critical then I think we need to get the hell out of here. :-)
Sorry ya'll ... had some pretty serious health issues messing with me ... but still here. Working to catch up.
Derailing quickly, and sorry for any crosspost that occurs if you're in multiple games with me:
I'm playing in a PFS PBP gameday game where we lost our GM, and one of our players stepped up to GM, but now we're short a player. If you play PFS and have a character in tier that you think would fit (level 6-7, or a 5 could squeak in), feel free to check us out. Scenario is #3-25, Storming the Diamond Gate.
I'm playing the cleric.
Sorry guys, it seems like every time I've gone to post the last week, the site has been down. I'll try to get a post up tonight after work, otherwise it'll be in the morning!
I know the holidays are brutal, but do we have hopes of continuing this one, Yorick?
Apologies, holidays rapidly got away from me. But, yes! Let's continue this one riiiiiiiiiight now!
Oh, also, would you guys like to use maps for combat? Kurth is DMing two games I'm in and has been making excellent use of them, which is making me reconsider my "I don't like maps" stance.
I personally strongly prefer maps, for purposes of knowing distance for spell range, possibilities for flanking, whether I can five-foot step*, etc, etc, but I don't want to make anyone DM in a way they're not comfortable with. :P
*especially when playing a magus
I quite like maps, though I know they can be a pain to deal with.
It's worth pointing out that grids aren't great for every scenario. Some combats are just too fidgety for that. But yeah, they can be handy to visualize a fight.
I like maps for visualizing the battlefield but like Kurth said they can also be limiting. I use maps when I DM, but that's because I usually run APs where they're already there so why not. I also tend to fudge movement rules in favor of a more fluid story, but that's just me.
Anyway, I'm fine either way, is what I'm saying.
Just started my own AP and I must say pre-made maps make everything easier for both the players and the DM.
But I'm fine with either maps or no maps to be honest.
Waiting on Vannah to post any notice of the second spider, if not I'll just continue on with my Inspire Courage.
Okay, cool. I'll start using maps more after this encounter, though I'll also likely fudge movement in favour of fluidity, so don't take them as gospel.
I'll give Vannah until tomorrow morning before I DMPC.
I think I can stay on top of things alright, but this is just to say I may be slow the next few days.
I wanted to have a post for you guys this morning but I forgot I had to interview someone and lost two hours of my morning. I'll have one up this afternoon or tomorrow morning! Exciting things are coming.
Aaand I will probably continue to be slow the next few days. New job with a three-day out-of-town job orientation starting Monday. If needed, GM Talas rather than delay the game.
It feels a little odd to loot the sheriff, while his friends are right there.

Haha, I can see that, though Harvald could well have instigated it if that makes it better. The few moments he spared for his friend were all he could - now he has to think about the survival of the rest of them, and that means using anything that is at hand. The Underdark is not a pleasant place. I have no doubt that some of those hungry and weakened gnomes would be considering ways to eat him, if not for a) the spider's corpse, and b) the awkwardness with you guys being right there.
Working on a loot sheet. But for now we have 97gp. We might as well split that now.
Are we currently at 5 players or 6?
Edit: OKay here's the Loot Page.
Thanks for doing the loot sheet, that's awesome. Can you put the link on the campaign tab, Yorick?
Not sure if our oracle is still with us...
I am not sure if she is, either. We can always shuffle loot around, though. I guess proceed with 5. She can't carry much, and it would feel thematically appropriate if Boreyn purchased her items, anyway.
Loots link has been added to the top, thanks for taking care of it, Kurth.
OK, so (97gp / 5 players) = 19.4gp
That's 19gp and 4sp for each player.
Thanks for tracking it, Kurth!

As before, so again: working on stuff for Round 3 of RPGSS, so my posting may be scanty, but I'll try and keep on top of things.
Talas, just letting you know I sent you a PM - the notification is easy to overlook, so I thought I'd tag you here, too. /FYI
