"Long" Beau is an aasimar cleric with the feather and growth domains.
Before joining the Pathfinder Society, "Long" Beau wandered the River Kingdoms, marking the seasons among the animals of the wild and protecting the inhabitants of rural villages. Despite the esteem the young priest of Erastil enjoys, the origin of his nickname has sometimes been the subject of ribald jests. Most point to his obvious armament, longbow and longspear. After the fertility rites at planting and harvest festivals, however, giggles and smirks suggest there may be another reason for the moniker.
A young mountain lion, Scratch, has joined Beau on his adventures.
“Long” Beau is married to Roxanne Blakros, and the couple shares a comfortable townhouse in Absalom with a small staff of servants to care for it.

GM, I am travelling in China at the moment (wasn't expecting this when I signed up). I have reliable internet, but I can't access Google slides at the moment. I'm going to try to connect, but I may not be able to interact with the maps, etc. right away.

Korfu, the start of Gameday's been delayed for two weeks.

![]() |

The Korfu has some abilities that rely on darkness (nothing game breaking or annoying), but it can be a problem for PC's who don't have darkvision. If anybody here can't see in the dark, I'll prep Communal Darkvision to keep you buffed.
GM, at the mission briefing I will cast an umbral Arcane Mark on myself, which will create a permanent bubble of darkness around me. (Radiates 10' from every corner of my square.)

Just checking in. Still active?

![]() |

It's been nearly a week. Maybe safe to assume it's not happening?

![]() |

I sent the GM a PM. No response, unfortunately.
Sent Hmm a PM. She advised we seek a replacement GM through the Flaxseed Lodge.
So, I posted the request for a replacement GM in the Lodge's Discussion page.
Fingers crossed!

Thanks for stepping up, Nightdeath. Those dead gnomes need justice.

Thanks, Nightdeath!

Oh, I see. I just posted an update before I read this discussion.
The reason for my disappearance was that I saw something really awful at the beginnin of the week. I just was not strong enough to post a note.
A woman (covered in blood, she obviously tried to kill herself by cutting her arms) jumped onto the rails in front of an underground train. 10 meters next to me. This is somehow emotional to me, because my brother spent some time in hospital because of suicide thoughts.
If you want to continue with nightdeath, I can understand.

![]() |
Holy.
I hope all is well with you GM Baerlie, something as traumatic as that is not something to be brushed away.
Please do get some help if it's bothering you. If you still help with your games, the community can step in to help. Your health and you is far more important.
Do be assured players that I have played with GM Baerlie and she is a great GM. In light of what happened, do give your gm some time to get over this incident.

![]() |

GM Baerlie, I'm very sorry for what you experienced. That must be awful. I am glad you're getting help. Please take all the time you need.

![]() |

If you still feel you need to break away to process what you've seen, just let us know.

![]() |

I would like to throw my lot in with the rest. We completely understand if you need more time to process, come to terms, or anything else you might need considering what happened.
But if you'd like to keep playing with us, we'd love that as well.

![]() |

I agree, real life comes first. So if you need time to sort it out, let us know.

I'm going for a vacation, coming back on Oct 25th. I'll try to check the thread, but please bot Roudantaimi if needed.

![]() |
Here I am to answer the call.
Please give me over the weekend to get caught up as I have a gathering to attend.

![]() |

Thanks for stepping in the complete this, nightdeath.

Ready to resume the mission.

My apologies for the mess.
I need to get some things setup while I get ownership of thread.

Though 'Long' Beau's Knowledge check might be too low to identify the creature, can we get a physical description of the creature and any equipment it's visibly carrying?
For your Perception and Initiative templates, Scratch has a Perception bonus of +6 and an Initiative bonus of +5. (Her Intelligence is 3.)

Scratch who's Scratch?
Edit: face palm You have an animal companion... Usually I run familars, eidolons and Animal companions at the same init as their owners.

All the magic missiles strike as usual. Each trip attempt is a separate CMB roll. At least that's how I've always seen it handled and handled it myself.
It's a great move, if you're willing to invest in the feat and use up a higher level spell slot. I never thought it any more OP than a barbarian's Power Attack chain or a rogue's sneak attacks.

![]() |

For me, toppling is up there with dazing and persistent, metamagic feats that never should have been written. I broke down and bought a rod for Korfu because he felt a bit underpowered as a wizard focused on illusion and shadow magic.
I'd spent the better part of 7 levels trying to do rogue-y stuff with him, and never had much to contribute to actual combats. After one close brush with a TPK, I thought I'd better get something with real stopping power.

![]() |
I've seen it in action and it can get pretty wild along with Dazing. Persistent isn't that bad but then again I've not seen much abuse at my face to face tables with that.

![]() |

I might be biased to comment, as I have an arcanist built around toppling magic missiles :) It's certainly powerful option, especially for a 1st level spell. But I think it's hardly the most OP thing in arcane caster's toolbox.

I've seen enough persistent greater possession to last me for a while. :)

Now that is rare to see where I game. Might try that...
