I'm going to be traveling this weekend. I'll have my phone, but may be unable to post. Please bot me if necessary.
Everyone start poking our DM
I am back! I[m sorry about the extended absence but I believe I have sorted what I needed to. I hope that you will have me once again!

Yes you can rejoin! Glad you're back.
Knock knock!
Landshark!
Knock knock!
Open up the door it's real!
Commence mass poking of GM!
I will poke him again
Haven't seen any recent posts
Hopefully we aren't dead, but he hasn't posted in the game I'm running that he's in for a bit, either.
I nominate Igor as DM!
...Might I inquire as to the reason why?
You are awesome!
I mean, I am, but that isn't necessarily a reason for me to take over the game. I'm also currently GMing 5 play-by-posts, and I'm not sure if I can handle another.
Besides, I'm willing to give the GM more time to respond. It's been about two and a half weeks since his last post. Let's give him until Monday, at least.
Out of curiosity, who's still checking the thread apart from myself, Aggghhh, and Mei?
I'm still here.
Ok I will wait some more, and you do have lots to handle already.
I'm around.
As long as the notifications keep coming, I keep checking. Special thanks to Aggggh/Andrea1 BTW for sending me messages when gameplay resumes, because my notifications drop for gameplay threads CONSTANTLY.
Still here, also in another game with the GM and he's been absent there too.
Indeed!
Okay, so that's 8 people still around.
I'll resolve the current combat round and move us onto the next one. It's clear the GM has modified the base stat block for the Warden, so I'll have to guess at what he's done. Hopefully the GM gets back soon.
yay!
Take care!
Ouch. Well, you survived. That's always a good start. :)
Gonna go ahead and officially drop out of this one. Sincere thanks for taking the time to try and take over as GM for this game Phntm88 and under other circumstances I'd probably stick around and see what you do with it, but a combination of factors (higher workload recently, overload on games, mild creative burnout) has made me want to cut back on my number of PbP games so I can focus on some I've been in for years already, and this seems like the perfect candidate to jump out of under the circumstances, especially since I've already played Way of the Wicked.
Even if I'll probably never get another chance to play a Hound of the Wild Hunt. =(
*Weeps* We'll miss you!
How are we supposed to be a bunch of monsters without a dragon? :(
Can you look kinda like a dragon?
A bit similar.
With paste on wings!
Understood, Storm Dragon. Good luck to you and happy gaming.
I was hoping Dahlia would post, but I guess I'll move it along.
Sorry, I got a little too wrapped up in life. I'm back!
@Tartarus: "Using a sphere ability provokes an attack of opportunity (unless cast defensively), requires a concentration check in difficult situations, ceases to function in an anti-magic field, and is subject to spell resistance." That is, unless you have
Additionally, making a ranged attack provokes again.
The Melee Blaster feat allows you to avoid provoking when you use it in melee.
You do not need a feat to use destructive blast in melee as a melee touch (it is directly in the ability's description that you can do either), though your point about the casting itself provoking without casting defensively is, in retrospect, true.
First line of description,
As a standard action, you may deliver a burst of blunt magical force as a melee touch attack or a ranged touch attack within Close range.
Edit,
That feat must therefore refer to magic casting provoke which can otherwise be avoided with a concentration check. (In the limited cases of casting a destructive blast, obviously)
No, you don't need a feat: Melee Blaster just makes it so that you don't provoke when you do.
My point is that there two ways to provoke here, casting and action. I had forgotten about the casting, but the action itself doesn't provoke, and a concentration check negates the casting provoke, thus with a concentration check, a melee blast would not provoke, though a ranged one would.
Therefore, the only provoke that is there for the feat to address is the casting, thus meaning with the feat you do not need a concentration check.
When did we go inactive?
I'm guessing it is based on the gm. That's just a guess though.
so... what now?
Can our DM get ownership of the game?
I believe that ownership of a thread can be changed, I believe something similar occurred in my giantslayer game.
Yes, I can take ownership of the campaign. I just noticed it had become inactive, and wasn't showing up in my campaigns.
Good news for you guys is that one of my Way of the Wicked games just folded, so I have time to pick this game up. I'll see about getting the game transferred to my ownership.
rarr!
So, try to disguise Tarball or Igor as the Warden and bluff our way past? Hold the 'warden' captive
