"FOX! You just can't trust a fox. Didn't I say that way back on page 1?"

Wow, snake form is awesome! And to think I doubted I was going to like it much back when I picked it! Don't let people sell the shifter class short...

Yeah, you are definitely kicking some butt in snake form lol... and shifter, like any class, is awesome if played well, as you have.

Hi all, I am finding myself increasingly busy with work and other responsibilities, so I need to cut back on my activities here on the boards. I am going to withdraw from this game, at least for the time being. If the situation changes enough for me I will be sure to reach out to MJ via PM. Until then, good luck in your ongoing adventures!
MJ, if you can go ahead and mark me inactive for the campaign I would appreciate it.

Sorry to hear, but I understand, my friend. I am afraid that the Paizo site seems to have a widespread problem at the moment: when attempting to edit any campaign (to mark a player inactive, for instance), an error message pops up. I have been unable to edit my campaigns. Hoping they fix this soon.
Anyway, good luck, and if things do change, you are always welcome.

Habiba will get a few more tricks Soon (TM), but for now kind of sucks as a combatant. If y'all need to pull information from thin air though, she's your pick!
Aside: Mike, you mind if I go ahead and swap those Familiar Feats out for something else? I can already tell I'm going to have a bad track record even remembering I have it; I'm not sure what my thought process was in the first place beyond "Well, I have nothing better to do with these feats", but I could always grab some general purpose casty stuff.

It is a sad day in my world one of my childhood heroes Stan Lee has died.
NO! RIP Mister Stan Lee. His contribution to the world has come to full fruition to him. The Marvel saga is an indelible mark on the monument of humanity's greatness. It is a mythology of such richness as we shall plunder for ages.

I too am saddened by Stan Lee's passing, but the man lived as old as anyone could expect to live. Excelsior and 'Nuff Said, Stan!
I am also greatly saddened by the departure of the Fox, Bear's best friend. We had a lot of chemistry. So many of my games that I am in recently have been bleeding people. I have lost three friends in last week for "work and other responsibilities".

I will miss Bear and Fox's synergy as well. But the legend has been born, and in another six centuries, my Fairytale Earth will be amused by Cartoon Network's animated show Bear and Fox. :)

For Act 2, it looks like the player characters are to be like the Fellowship of the Ring now, with nine strong:
Cardinal Lucius D'Borja
Johann Kaltgeboren
Zagathoth Emir of Marrakech
Habiba Al-Sahim
Princess Ihrin Ardlean Dracula
Mwikali and Kiku
Rabbi Alexei Orlovsky
Lord Perpireen McGibel
Herald of the Endless Dance Algoral
Am I forgetting anyone? Apologies if so...

Many thanks to all the players who have stayed with me for 7 months of great and memorable fun! I salute you, Cardinal D'Borja. I salute you, Lord McGibel. I salute you, Emir Zagathoth, and you, too, Mwikali. I salute you, Mighty Johann! Your characters are still on the path to deification in my campaign, a hard won goal indeed!
I also welcome and am grateful to the newcomers who are willing to give my campaign a go, and help us continue to progress this epic saga! Old friends and new friends together, the Order of Champions!

Still following as best I can! A long post will come!
Understood. Glad you're still following, and catch up when you get a comfortable moment at a suitable computer or laptop. I know it's mad tricky trying to do this with a phone (because I actually do a lot of GMing over my phone and it's a pain in the gluteus maximus, but it's a labor of love lol)...

I can only get onto a computer at work, which makes the whole thing worse. Gonna try and get a post in now!

Just read I have Ice Storm, Wall of Ice, Ice Slick, Aggressive Thunder Cloud!Whoa look at me

yes... this group is very slow to pick up and use magic items, for some reason...
Speaking of, we probably still have items available on the spreadsheet.
No reason to convert it all to gold yet though. We need to find a store first!

Cape slot, headband slot, belt slot, and amulet slot tend to be items people don't want to pick up willy nilly. Can't wear a Cloak of resistance with your Cape of the Mountebank, and while the latter is nice to have, the former is something that Paizo's monster balancing EXPECTS you to have; going without one can and will get you killed at higher levels.
S'why a lot of tables have Big Six deleting houserules, or use Automatic bonus progression these days. More fun items see play without too high of a PC turnover rate.

@Lord Perpireen: You and I enjoy each other's imaginations and RP, don't we, Johnny Panic! :)
You were the curious elf detective with hard yo pronounce name in my Numeria Swords & Super-science campaign...
Actually, a few of the players in this campaign have been loyal players in previous campaigns... Habiba was once Alphonse Veritas of the Lusty Fools, now the benefactor of England as an outlaw folk hero with a hideout in a cave under Stonehenge, where he and Merlin watch over the British Isles...

Mwikali |

I say Lord P you do you with the whole scouting and being our little light scource.
Fighters...Meaning Johann and Zag with a bit of Ihrin and the Cardnial mixed in move in, followed by us spellcasters?
Unless we want a different marching order?

Lucius isn't a fighter anymore - his archetype turns him into a wizard basically. 1/2BAB but 6+Int skills. So he's a full caster and should probably stay at the back unless we need him to channel - in which case I need selective channeling!

Yup, selective channeling is a must have for the party's healer.

I'd have it by now if I wasn't using VMC - but given that he's a rebuild I'm trying to keep him as close to the original version as I can, and that version had all the inquisitor bits and a lot of racial feats. :)

i added the loot to the spreadsheet for future disbursement

I don't want to rush it. I wouldn't mind swimming around the outside edge of the area, checking out all the shipwrecks.

We do need to keep in mind that out Water Breathing time is limited; we have 3 potions apiece left (at 30 minutes of Water Breathing per potion). Habiba also has two scrolls (one of which I can cast at CL 8 with my Mnemonic Vestment.
That's a total of 100 minutes apiece down here (we have about 10 minutes left on the first one), plus scrolls (one of which is definitely reserved for Habiba's use =p) before we're sunk (pun intended).
Our first priority needs to be finding some long term solution to our predicament, after which more general exploration can be done.

Good point. Can't adventure if you can't breathe.
