Brother Joe casts cure light wounds. "Get well soon!"
Hey y’all, I’ve just found my way out of the woods. I’d love a recap on what’s happened, but if not I’ll have to take a few days to get back up to speed.
Short version:
Party was given instructions to meet you at the Norfolk Botanical Garden from your phone. Last Call traveled to the gardens, demandeda selfie, got a very well-photoshopped image of you enjoying yourself amongst the tulips (it’s in the Slides, actually). Found the tulips in the garden, tracked the gobs from there to the Enchanted Forest section.
Party is currently split:
Team Stealth (who have all rolled VERY high):
-Nessie
-Sadducee
Team Come Running If They Hear Screaming And Maybe Hotwire A Golf Cart in the Meantime Why Not:
-everyone else
Starting hurricane preparations here. It's looking like it will hit Florida this weekend. Depending on how bad it is, we may evacuate on Friday or Saturday, and even if not, internet could be out for a few days.
Stay safe! We're not under any time limits, so we'll just pause if we need a response from you.

Oof. Stay safe, and remember to sacrafice any political figures to apease Nature's Undying Wrath,
Thanks y’all. Safely evacuated from the Florida coast, I’ll probably be able to post tomorrow.
Excellent! I’ll probably move us into initiative in another post or two.
Nessie and Docta, let me know if you want to make any actions, ready actions, or delay-- I understand if being on a speeding cart limits your options a bit :P
The intent actually was to call the Fire Department, but surely the cops would come calling as well when word of a 'random' fire at the gardens spread. Still, it's a reasonable suggestion. Any takers? :p
Brother Joe would agree. We are 1st-level adventurers, not trained fire fighters! We should not be around when they arrive.
Joe does.
Not that I was checking.
Does anyone have create water? 5 gallons every six seconds is fairly meh.
I’m moving to a new house this upcoming weekend, so expect a bit of a slowdown from my end!
Marvins, if you want to stop the cart even with it not being your turn, that’s fine. The functional difference between you stopping the cart now and you electing not to move the cart next turn is... more semantics than anything, really.
Nessie, I haven’t checked the map, but go ahead and engage the slingin’ gob once you’re done looking like a half-elven Simone Biles!
You got it!
Mostly busy but now that I have my own world, please note that there is one additional goddess not found in the Pathfinder pantheon. The below is quoted (with some redactions) from a conversation I had a long time ago. For now, this is mainly worldbuilding, but you may run into an NPC that worships this goddess at some point.
all right so basically all these fantasy games doing Winter dirty
"ah yes the ice goddess, famously uncaring, cold in personality as well as domain"
or
"he is harsh, and teaches that the weak perish"
you tend to get Evil or Neutral at best, there
SO ANYWAY HERE'S MY WINTER GODDESS, YET UNNAMED
NEUTRAL
[REDACTED]
GOOD
Among the Southern Countries, She is known as a visitor, paid homage mostly by immigrants from the North and those desperately seeking refuge from the hottest days of summer.
It is the North where Her influence is most known. As the Goddess of Winter, She sees over the storm,
the blizzard and the blanket of snow, yes; however, more importantly, She teaches a valuable lesson:
Prepare yourselves.
Share with your community.
Get your [redacted] together in advance.
Winter comes every year without fail in the Northern Lands; it is what one does in the months before that determines how well-supplied you are, and your actions toward those unable to provide for themselves that determines their survival.
For each person that dies out in the cold when there was a warm fire they were shunned from, it is said that the Goddess harshens the cold for those who could have helped and did not. The fallen are welcomed into her domain, where the air is always brisk and invigorating.
It is in this way that the Goddess delivers her lessons, her tests, and her judgments.
Domains: Cold, Community, Preparation, Endurance
(Those don't all tie specifically to domains from any system I'm aware of, but it's her general Business; specifics will be thrown together At Some Point)
Areas that are Too [Redacted] Cold to Survive In are considered to be Her Blessed Domain, and are not fit for habitation; instead, they are places for Her strongest to worship, and bring back lessons to Her communities. It is said that this is where She manifests.
Her Clerics, Paladins, etc. are most often seen bringing aid to those who have nothing else before anyone else. They are said to be able to create clear, liquid water even when everything else has frozen over, and often bring smoked meat to share.
Just an FYI, I'm going to be packing up my PC this afternoon for the move and won't have Internet reliably until mid-Sunday or so. Expect a little slowdown from my end!
Back and ready to roll!
Thought I posted here, sorry to see that I hadn't. Been gone helping the in laws move up north, back and ready now; will catch up on reading and post in the next couple days. Thanks for the patience.
No worries! Just good to know you’re all right!
Hey all, I’m sorry for my absence here. The last few weeks have been hard on my wife and I and the holidays are keeping us busy now too. I’m still here though and still invested, gonna really try to find time to catch up in the next week or so.
Life happens to us all, and it sounds like it sure is happening to you a lot right now! Completely understand and thank you so much for checking in!
Hey guys! Kicking the campaign forward a bit; we're really close to finishing up this combat, after which there'll be a little Individual Stuff and then the emergence of an Actual Plot Maybe?? Absolutely wild.
Hope everyone's life is settling down again now that we're past the Great Holiday Chunk!

GM, before we make plans to take on Geoffrey and his goblin handler, do you want to introduce the money you were talking about so we can resupply? Or is that coming later?
Everyone else got theirs; yours is pending completion of our scene in Discord. If you haven’t already, feel free to make any purchases out-of-character!
Gotcha! No problem, just trying to avoid crack-slipping.
As a scatterbrained GM, I greatly appreciate you looking out for me (and your wallets) :P
A couple of quick notes!
1. I'm pretty sure I got COVID. Seems like I'm what they'd call a "mild" case, but when I haven't taken aspirin/Tylenol I feel like Mild Garbo. Posting might be sporadic and I might forget stuff! Please remind me if I do.
2. Franklin's got all the deets that you need. If he doesn't have any objection, I can just assume he forwards any questions you want to ask Bibi (who's the quest-giver in this case) and I'll send her responses without having make the poor guy type out every text and relay the messages back manually :P

Brother Joe cast bless and cure light wounds in quick succession on Nine-Tuiles.
Please, PLEASE get well soon, and take good care!
Realized I forgot to update here, but: I got better, got depressed, and got un-depressed!
The hint that Toys R Us stores are haunted may have gone a ways toward helping that one, to be honest.

Faith does not notice the handover. This time.
By Cayden's vomit bucket!! I can't [u]believe[/u] that worked!
Come back to us! It's your turn!!
When will my Frank return from the war.....
Hi Everyone,
Tomorrow I'm having a catheterization on my left side tomorrow, so I won't be on the boards that day. But I hope to be back on during the weekend. Thanks all.
Hope everything goes nicely for you!
[fingers crossed]
