Lol, I would obviously pick today over the statue animating and squashing all of us into paste.
;) well feel free to pluck out the eyes and see what happens. Though you have only gone through half the ruin. And there are still secrets that remain hidden.
@atar, a reflavor of weapon is fine with me.
Although brightberry fully intends to, he is wise enough to wait until after everything else is done. He would totally pad the marshmallow test!

I am predicting that removing the gems in the statue's eyes will dispel the silence.
Once dispelled, the statue will be continually shouting out directions on how to avoid the cursed tomb and access the dragon hoard of treasure beneath it.
It will also occasionally pop in next week's winning lottery numbers and sing jaunty tunes, won't it?
Been sick this week, my apologies. I’ll try to get an update sometime during the weekend.
This is rather sad for me. I was excited about roleplaying this character and leveling him up. I've also enjoyed the other characters thus far. I understand missing due to sickness, but we go by days at a time without any progression. I check back multiple times a day (I also have other games I play) and continue to be disappointed with the lack of activity here. When there is a post that I can respond to, I need to go back and reread things, to see where we left off. What are our ideas here? Is everyone else okay with the pace this is taking? In the discussion page, it stated that a post a day should be expected, with exceptions. Should we make an effort to post more regularly, drop the campaign, or come to an agreement that one post is expected just every few days from each us?
I must say share some of your frustration, though for me it stems more from not being able to find a rhythm than the post frequency itself -- it may sound a bit silly, but I realised I am much better at posting when I know I need to post once/day, or every other day, or once a week, etc. I apologise for any part I might have played in your demotivation, btw.
In any case, I agree that it could be nice to discuss posting expectations that are more in line with everyone's available time.
My apologies for the inconsistency, neither of you are problems in posting schedule. I am open to switching to once a week, my posting ability has been suspect and it’s my fault. I’m going to update after getting a look at notes and what not.
If more people think once a week is a more appropriate then feel free to speak up. At the moment I’ll work to continue a post everyday at the moment.
Ill stick around and keep trying to keep things moving. Once a week posting will likely cause people to disappear.
I'm fine with whatever, really.
I think that if we could all agree to post maybe every two days, that could keep things moving without undue stress. I'm with Bob on the 'once a week' thing. Interest would drop.
Ok then, let’s try for once every two days. With any quicker being simply a bonus.
Sounds like a plan =)
I will be away till Monday or Tuesday for some vacation time.
I will be able to post but when I will be free is a different story.
Most likely late at night.
I will have a post up tonight
Just got to the hotel. Will they tomorrow for a post.
Folks, I'll be travelling between 29/02 and 04/03. I should be able to post during that time from my phone, but in case Atar goes quiet, that will be the reason.
Sorry about the quiet lately, I've been really tired these few weeks. Work's been busy - we've got half the people trying to do double the work right now due to the situation outside, it's no fun at all.
Looks like the creatures are taking the form of your worst fear. Probably a magical trap.
Not that it would matter at level 2, but we don't have a rogue, do we?
Atar has the trap finder trait, which helps a fill the gap a little.
yeap! I will admit I did not expect it to come in handy so soon, though
Squirrels ate my internet cable.. Post later tonight.
That’s the greatest post I’ve ever seen btw. And no worries I guess squirrels happen.
high bluff rolls are fun! Also, Atar really doesn't want to send these guys to die on the trap =(
Magic armor? Awesome!
Can a swashbuckler wear chainmail without losing class features?
I'll have to look to see if a ranger loses anything as well...
Lol, Brightberry certainly can't... But Redleaf could. He's not trained to wear it, but... Only if a PC can't.
Waterbender monks certainly can't, unless they want to become an extremely well-protected commoner :)
sorry, folks, was a bit busy the last few days. Will post soon.
regarding chainmail: it's medium armour, right? swashbucklers can only wear light armour, unfortunately =(
@GM Are you going to allow the goodberry to be fed to the unconscious Bob? Not quite the same thing as poring a potion down his throat.
No issues either way. I'm still thinking about a backup character. Will probably go either cleric or oracle.
I’m fine with him being force fed it. No need to make such a niche thing even more niche.
I agree on the healing wand. I would like for Redleaf to be our wand bearer, but it will be difficult for him to make his umd checks. Any ideas on how I can improve this skill with him?
Off the top of my head I can’t really think of any but I’ll do some reasearxh and look into it. Worst case scenario maybe we figure something out to help with it, since you guys are lacking in the magic department.

Druids can cast Cure Light Wounds, can't they?
Are you thinking of other wands we might get? Lesser Restoration or something?
Yeah, that might be an issue. Maybe I'll dip into Alchemist... I'll be a bomb throwing Dex-mutagenized Ranger. FEAR ME!
I can, and have been, casting cure (or cute) light wounds and could use the wand no problem. I would like my familiar to be able to use it instead, for better action economy though.
You could sip alchemist and have Bob start juicing, that’ll show them scary goblins!
That sounds amazing, Bob. I wholeheartedly approve!
I would like my familiar to be able to use it instead, for better action economy though.
Interesting... and having a high UMD yourself allows Brightberry to use the wand? Or am I misinterpreting what you are saying?
Anyways, High CHA and skill ranks. Skill Focus, a few other feats. I don't know of any other ways to boost UMD.
Yeah, he can use my ranks for umd with his stats. He would need umd in order to use a wand.
Will have an update with some town info into the top bar tonight. This weekend has been busy with work and some celebrations for my first Father’s Day.
if you know how to nest spoilers please let me know, had trouble with it and would love to condense all the spoilers under the campaign info.
I don't think it's possible to nest, unfortunately :(
I’ll be doing my annual training this Friday till the 31st. I should have some time since it’s not to crazy but just a heads up in case I lag behind in posting.
@bob: sorry, I thought we were leaving! Feel free to continue the conversation, Atar wouldn’t oppose.
Did we lose three players?
have not heard form them in almost 2 weeks...
Hi all -- sorry for my silence. I hurt my wrist last week and was avoiding using the computer as much as possible. I'll have something (short!) up in a bit.
There is nothing to react to. It has been over two weeks since we announced our intention to enter the mage's tower.
Sorry for the lack of update. After a pretty horrible week after a stressful last couple months and some evaluation I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m going to have to shutter the game. I’m just feeling very overwhelmed with life, and the added responsibility of guiding the game just is not something I can handle at the moment. I’m sorry for the lack of notice but wanted to let you know where I’m at. It’s been fun with all of you.
That's too bad. I hope things get better for you. Group; Brightberry and Redleaf will still count you all as friends as they wander off back into the woods from whence they came... With their share of the paltry loot
Completely understandable, GM. Thank you for letting us know.
@Everyone, this was a good group of players that were assembled. The GM did a great job organizing us and picked an interesting adventure to guide us through.
It is unfortunate we didn't get any further, but I do hope to game with each of you in the future.
No problem, GM, it does sound like the right decision. Hope things improve soon =)
For the rest, I echo what has been said: it was fun while it lasted and hopefully we'll meet again!
Same here, I enjoyed the ride. Hopefully everything settles down soon!
