I hear you; thanks for checking in, and no hard feelings. Checking in on the boards has been one of the few things keeping me from flying apart this past little while, but not everyone has the luxury of being able to do that.
Ugh. And now I'm thinking of my dad doing his best to instill an appreciation for "classic" television in his daughter. What is it with the "Do not adjust your set. We are in control?" The Outer Limits? The Twilight Zone? Obviously, the lessons didn't really hold. :)
Since nobody reacted, i assume it's fine to rejoin.
Thank you for that^^
Not sure if i get your meaning there Prasitis^^
Oh, just this bit:
Fear not! I am back in control.
Whichever show it was, wasn't the conceit that it was a mysterious broadcast that no one was expecting from who knew where, full of whatever spookiness was the episode of the week?
It was a feeble joke (I see), riffing off that idea since for this campaign in particular, where all our characters are amnesiac and we're still establishing ourselves in the first dungeon, it's hard to say, "OK, I know this story. I'm Princess Charming/the lovable rogue/the wise counselor and we're on the way to find the mystic gem of XYZ/rescue the prince/explore the Unknown Lands..." [/Humour explainer] :)
Ah i thought you were referring to some particular TV trope or something.
Hope you all are enjoying the wonderful delights of the asylum!
Thanks! I hate it! :)
That means I’m doing my job correctly!
Level up!
Also, I'm using a new spreadsheet for Aoife, because I foresee a lot of buffs that will be annoying to track individually. Getting gestalt to work on it is a bit of a pain, but whatever. Magus is unilaterally better with stats than wizard (or ritualist), so I can use that. Still figuring out the spell situation, though.
Anyway, this level I get Spellstrike, some numeric bonuses (including a +1 to AC) and one step closer to my Blackblade and Loremaster.
How do we calculate hit points for our new level? I looked for the answer but I must have missed it.
Hi! See y'all soon!

Use full HP for each new level. You may need them.
As for me continuing on with the plot, I have a feeling it'll be best to leave the group to it until such time as you decide to return to the barricade.
Do remember, however, that your new member awaits you there, so try not to keep her waiting too long!
I don't know how best to advise you about your hex, Prasitis. :) Evil Eye is really good of course, but it seems like you might prefer using your standard actions to fight rather than hex. You are a cavalier, after all, so it seems wise to make good use of that full BAB! If you did go with the Healing hex, you could theme it like covering the patient in a thin layer of ice and frost, which might be kind of cool and fit your winter witch theme.
My archetype and stat allocation probably favours a more defensive sort of cavalier, so we'll see. I think I'll go with evil eye for now, and if we get badly mauled but make it to our next level and there's an outcry, I'll spend a feat to get more healing. :)
And thanks, I'm always on the lookout for spell thematics!
I hope i'll cover the offensive part! :D
All leveled up by the way.
Well seems the cue for our new player didn't catch so far.
I hope they are well.
Well, what are we feeling? Wait for them? Carry on without them?
Up to y’all.
I'd say carry on and let Aoife get a good night's sleep.
The poor girl.
Yes carry on. They can hopefully join later.
Thirded! We can catch up on introductions then. Since we lunatics might still be in somewhat of a fog, after all.
Also, I'm really sorry about disappearing over the weekend! It's been crazy at work with the summer term about to start up, sort of, depending on what the directives from the province will be (tomorrow).
But I should be back now. I'll post in gameplay in a bit.
Hey everybody,
I'm sorry for going missing on you. It's been a very hectic couple of weeks. At work we had two back to back short notice and short deadline extra projects added on top of our regular work. With what free time I've had I really needed to do other things than sit in front of a computer yet more.
Things should be getting back to normal now, and I'll be catching up on reading up to date on posts and posting myself. Within a day or two I should be all caught up and back in the flow.
@GM: I didn't hear back about any particular way you wanted me to make my entrance since everyone was now inside so I just made something up. I hope that's alright.
Welcome and welcome back!
Oops! Must’ve missed the pm. This entrance is more than fine, as long as it gets you with the party, I’m good!
Apologies, started a new job this week and needed a few days to get settled. Back on track now!
Wish you good luck with your new job start!
May it bring what you hope for and more in a positive way^^
And stay safe and healthy everyone!
Short question in case i'm missing something:
She notes Vedas' outburst, nodding along as she listens.
"Which, yes, is inside of Ustalav. Is there some history you have here that you are remembering?"
Is this up to us to make up, aka our character background or is there something in the story?
Or do we just don't know/remember it?
Unfortunately, you haven’t started remembering just yet. So no, you guys don’t remember anything before you woke up. Or had the dream anyway.
We rested before we set out, right? Time was a little vague there for a while, but I'm sure everyone wants to be fully recharged before we venture forth.
Also yes, sorry. You do rest at the chapel again to get everything recharged and fix Aoife’s Sleep related problems.
Oof! Bad luck on that attack roll, GM! :)
You guys know that we’re in combat rounds, right? I’m waiting on y’all to post.
I have no idea what those birds were. A haunt, maybe? Probably not because Laura didn't deal positive energy damage. Is it weird that I regret destroying it before seeing what it could do? :D
It was a haunt, yeah. With a relatively low religion check (10), you can know this.
Would've been interesting, but alas.
Everything okay guys? Are you waiting on me for something or what?
I had two family emergencies come up here tonight, so sorry! I’ll post tomorrow when I’m back at my desktop. I think I remember that we were going to head down the primrose path after we looted the bodies.
I hope everything is alright eriktd!
I think we're ready to move on.
If nobody objects Satomi will take one of the amulets of natural armor. It's a good long-term choice for her since she will be sticking with light armor for a while, then switching to no armor.
Hope everything is alright!
I unexpectedly did not have internet for some days. Gonna post something later.
Everything okay guys? Are you waiting on me for something or what?
A bunch of nonsense came up on my end in real life, and then I wasn’t sure that folks were ready to press on, and I worry about prima donna-ing a bit much.

Oh no! By all means, those are what you should worry about, not about us. I hope everything works out soon.
Sorry, I don't have any excuse. I've just been lazy when posting lately. Summer tends to be hard on my posting habits.
Aoife would like the other Amulet, if possible, as she is filling a primary frontline role.
Sounds like maybe we should roll to randomly decide who gets the amulets? Everyone could benefit from them.
Or just decide who's going to stand in the front will get it, but that one has to?
I mean, we are all melee characters, right? Everyone has a good argument for wearing it. Easier to roll for it than to argue about it, I think. :)
Here, for the first amulet (1 Aoife, 2 Laura, 3 Prasitis, 4 Satomi, 5 Veda):
And the second amulet (1 Laura, 2 Prasitis, 3 Satomi, 4 Veda):
There you go. Easy peasy. :)
Actually i planned on going ranged combat.
Only takes some time.
So, someone else can have the amulet.
According to this role it would be Satomi then.
I find it highly ironic that the two of us who initially claimed them were also the ones that ended up with them via chance.
Hehe, well I don't really mind one way or another. I was just pointing out that over time Satomi will need to diversify her AC bonuses since armor won't be contributing much to her defenses.
Sorry for the pause in posting. I think I mentioned I work for the Oregon Department of Human Services and we're still getting hit hard by the fallout from Covid-19. The start of this month was especially rough since the CARES act is mostly ending and we have to recalibrate to account for it.
Apologies, busy few work days.
No worries; until school starts up in a week and my life settles down again my posting capabilities are limited.
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend, working on a bit more expansive stuff for the library.
I'm a bit on the work intensive side these weeks - which i should probably happy about, seeing so many people getting laid off.
