GM Abraham's Curse of the Riven Sky (9-11) [Gameday VIII] (Inactive)

Game Master Abraham Z.

Yikes! Hope you are feeling better Tytus.

Goodness. Glad to her you are feeling on the mend.

If only Caduceus could channel in real life!

Indeed! Glad to hear that you are out of the hospital and wishing you a complete recovery!

Wow guys. Great fight. Well played GM. I feel like we earned that one.

Nice work everyone.

Thanks for the many good wishes. For a few days it was unclear if I would keep my leg, but I was lucky.

Glad to hear Tytus. Wish you speedy recovery!

And yes, good fight. That was the closest I have come to running out of spells. Really think I need to add dismissal to my repertoire.

Nicely done all.

Well done, everyone. The next several days are a bit hectic for me so I'll get the next encounter started on Thursday or Friday. In the meantime, go ahead and get yourselves healed up or post any other buffing you wish to do before leaving the room. As a reminder: although you seem to have prevented the ice devil from causing the whole place to collapse, you know the castle is still under attack and you have not yet found the giant Zoarth that you were sent to find. (In other words, even though I know many of you are low on resources, there is yet another fight still before you'll have a chance to rest!).

Well, I made certain everyone is topped off health wise. I still have a few Lay on Hands and spells. We need to end the next fight quickly (no kidding, right?).

Oh boy. I better try and find some darts...

I'd also suggest everyone scan their chronicle boons for SLAs or other things that might help.

Anyone have a way to help me out with this STR dmg?

My apologies to everyone for the continuing slow play. My father's illness has accelerated and it's meant that there have been some days when I just can't focus on stuff very well. I still want to continue GM-ing this through to its conclusion (there are times when it's a very nice distraction from stuff in my personal life) but I understand that some of you may be frustrated. I thank you all for your understanding.

Real life takes precedence. No worries. Take care of your family. Also, don't forget to take care of yourself.

Take your time RL first.
I wish your father best of recoveries.

No need to apologize, wishing for the best for you and your family.

Indeed. Sorry to hear of your troubles Abe. Thoughts are with you and your family. Son't worry about us, we will entertain ourselves with lively banter and be here if you need some game time.

Sorry for the delay in saying: No rush at all. We can even take planned hiatus if that's easier for you.

Just checking in on everyone. Hope all is going well.

Yep, I've actually had high hopes of getting our next encounter up and running both yesterday and today but unfortunately I didn't get to it. Thanks to all for your continued patience!

No worries Abe. Looking forward to continuing the scenario. Hope things are better for you.

Just pinging the board seeing how everyone is doing.

Hey, sorry for no update in a bit. I'm still here, still trying to get caught up on things, still committed to continuing our game, still appreciating y'all's patience.

No worries Abe! Hope you are doing well.

Seconded

Hello all. First and foremost, I hope things are going better for you and your family Abe. Thank you again for running this board, good group and run expertly.

Secondly, as Outpost III approaches, I was hoping to free up Heccan to play in that con. Should we think about ending the scenario? I am still on board for continuing on, but also ok if we need to end due to real life circumstances.

Thoughts?

I lean towards agreement on both fronts. As I understand, this is a 3 xp module, so we are far from finished.

I'm good moving forward or wrapping up wherever we are in the story.

I had no plans to use this character, but am fine calling this one if other people are wanting to.

My apologies to all for the long delay. I keep trying to find the hour or two that I need to get the next encounter up and going and it keeps eluding me.

You are correct that we are far from finished with the mod. If people are willing to have patience with me I would still like to continue running it, but I understand if people have run out of patience or simply want to get their PCs into other games.

I'm not sure whether it's possible to issue a partial chronicle (1 xp instead of 3, for approximately a third of the module completed), or if that would even be desirable to anyone, but let me know if you want me to investigate it.

If there are at least four who would like to press on, I'll be on break starting Thursday night for over two weeks and should be able to get us restarted then.

I'm happy to keep going (but also understand if others want to bail).

I am happy to press on. I have to admit that I hope the healing is far less pressing in the next encounter.

I am quite happy to wait.

Yes, absolutely willing wait if we are continuing. Looking forward to starting up again.

Given the status of the world right now, just thought I might check in on how everyone is holding up.

Hail Via! Doing as well as can be expected I guess, thanks for checking in. Strange days indeed, but we are all going to get through it. How you doing?

Doing well enough. Family is all safe under my roof. Have enough of all the vital supplies. The governor shut down the schools until the end of April, so I have no reason to not catch up on some grading.

Quite fine so far

And away we go! Once again, my apologies for the long wait. I hope you are all doing well, staying safe and healthy in these trying times. Hopefully a little pathfinder pbp can be a nice distraction from the craziness in our daily lives!

Sorry for the delay once the ball got rolling! Now I just have to remember how to play Hector . . .

Game on! Welcome back Abe.

I've got a question about the behavior of the Slides for our game. This hasn't been the case before, but now every time I try to do something on one of the slides the focus jumps to the next slide in the deck. Very annoying. Are the rest of you experiencing this? And any idea what is causing it or what might have changed?

I can´t say so for my side.

Not in this game but happens to me from time to time. Scrolling down then BAM next slide. The one hitch I have with slides really.

The slides are driving me crazy right now so I've moved our current battle map all the way to the bottom of the slide deck, in hopes that it won't have anyplace to try to advance to. Hope that fixes it and sorry for any confusion. Just look all the way at the bottom of the list of slides and you'll see ours.

My father has taken a turn for the worse and I'll be driving back north to try to help on Tuesday. My posting is likely to be irregular for the next little bit. Thanks for your understanding.

Go take care of things.

Of course. Safe travels and take all the time you need.

Indeed. Good luck with everything Abe.

Thanks, everyone. I'm here in NJ with my dad. The end is near, probably some time in the next week, possibly less. It's very good to be here with him and he's not suffering.

I'm able to get online at unpredictable intervals. I think I will keep our game frozen as is for the moment, since there's too much chance that I could do that and then not be able to get online at all for a day or two or three. Once I get back to Atlanta, after my Dad passes, I'll be self-quarantining for a couple of weeks, so that seems like a better opportunity for us to continue.

I just want to explain all this since we've already had such a long delay prior to this. I appreciate all of your understanding.

I'm glad you can be with your dad, take all the time you need. Best wishes to you and your family.
