Was actually just going to post something. Am just reaching the end of a long stretch of solo parenting and should have a lot more free time starting Friday. And I will use that free time to get us back up and going. Sorry again for the long delay, everyone!

Hello. Still hanging in there. How about you?

![]() |

Always.

Still here.

SAME! ;-)

Merry Christmas everyone!!

Hoping a bump will get this thing moving again.

Hello. :)

Happy new year!

GM Abraham |

Gosh I am terribly sorry to keep letting you all down. I saw this bump last night and said to myself that I would get us rolling again today but the day has gotten away from me and I have a very full day tomorrow so I will make a firm promise that I will get us all going again on Wednesday.

![]() |

Sounds excellent. Will give you a bump again then.

See you soon!

GM Abraham |

That would help if you were trying to sunder the door (it would bypass the hardness) - but that would also be a much harder CMB check. A strength check will also work - it's just that you've all rolled a bit too low so far.

GM Abraham |

Yeesh. So sorry about the slow pace everyone. Just needed to find a spare hour to set up this next combat.

If the ioun stone was canceling the darkness from the start, can we look back to see if any of Kala's and Smelly's attacks actually hit?
It's a bit much to hope that would keep Smelly alive a little while longer, but you can't blame me for wishing!

The spell says: "Deeper darkness can be used to counter or dispel any light spell of equal or lower spell level." So I think it would have negated your second level light spell.
Not sure how the permanence affects it though. Will it spring back when you leave the area? Would returning to the area cause your light to negate the darkness? Ugh!

GM Abraham |

Sorry about the stop and go pacing - I'm busy getting ready for a trip tomorrow. Should have some time to catch up on things from the airplane.

GM Abraham |

Hey everyone, sorry again - brought the wrong charger with me and my laptop died - just got it sorted out today and am now catching up on my games.

GM Abraham |

So sorry - again - everyone. Real life has just got me swamped right now. I hope to resume the game later this week. Again my apologies for the epically slow start and stop pacing this game has had.

GM Abraham |

Gosh everyone. I just can't believe how I've let this game lag. My sincere apologies. I'm heading offline tonight until May 18th and will get us going again after that. Sorry!

![]() |

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to bow out of this game. My apologies, and good luck to everyone going forward.

![]() |

I'm still available.

Weekly bump here.

GM Abraham |

Ready to restart us. Once again, my very sincere apologies.
A couple of questions: First, who is still here? Guy and Azrael have both posted, and Kala has indicated that they need to bow out. Aaftaab and Lucifer, are you still here?
Second, any objections to me just hand-waving the fight that we were already in the middle of? Without the darkness effect (which my rules investigations has confirmed is cancelled by your ioun stone) this fight is really not going to be a challenge for you.

![]() |

I'm good with moving on to the next room.

GM Abraham |

Ok, I've written to Lucifer and Aaftaab to see if they are still here and interested in continuing.

![]() |

Still here. Thanks

GM Abraham |

No reply from Lucifer so far. If it is just the 3 of you, are you ok with continuing with a pregen for the 4th PC or would you prefer me to see if I can recruit a fourth player?

![]() |

Go get a 4th. I am quite sure it won't even take a day unless you get picky. Ask for a front liner.

GM Abraham |

I wanted to give Lucifer a few more days to check in but since I still haven't heard anything from him I've gone ahead and posted in the Recruitment forum. We'll see who wants to join and then pick things up from there.

GM Abraham |

I've invited two players to join the game - both melee types. I think I'll cap it there in case Lucifer returns so that there would be room for him to resume if he wishes.
Once they've dotted in and introduced themselves I'll get us going again though I'll be traveling from tomorrow through Monday so posting will be sparse.

![]() |

Thanks. Going to need all the beef we can get.

GM Abraham |

Hey everyone,
So we've added one new player (Ilmakis' Dolgar Ironfist) and I've just written to Uhvat to see if they want to rejoin (they expressed interest on the general board but haven't posted here yet). If they don't want to rejoin there are one or two others who have expressed interest.
I'm traveling with family through Monday anyway so hopefully we'll have it squared away by then and ready to resume play. Thanks again for your patience!

GM Abraham |

Btw, I'll just mention this now since it seems fair to warn you all. This particular level is - to me - oddly written. There are a lot of pretty underwhelming encounters (as you've already seen so far) and then one that looks to me like it will be very brutal, maybe too brutal. That's one reason why I would prefer to run this for 5 instead of 4 - I think you might need the help for that one crazy encounter.

GM Abraham |

Hi everyone, I heard from Uhvat that he wants to rejoin so I'm just waiting for him to actually post in gameplay and will get us going after that.

![]() |

Thanks GM. Checking in here. Give me up to tonight to update my character sheet? Thanks!

GM Abraham |

I asked on your recruitment thread if you still needed a frontliner, but I had no answer.. I guess you don't.
Hi Drusilla, sorry for no reply - I was waiting to hear back from Uhvat (who was with the group earlier and therefore has priority). We are indeed full-up now.
