Oh man. I'm kinda nervous about this. I'd hate to kill Sherman Blake so soon after he's been introduced. I mean, I'll do it. But I'll feel bad about it.

Lol, that would be the shortest story for any of my characters. But no need to pull any punches :)
Luckily, Sherman has a lousy CMD, so he is easy grapple/disarm.
And unless the dagger has some bonuses or uses attack bonus of itself, Sherman has a -3 melee attack “bonus”. (-4 from the curse)
Farmageddon
That particular haunt had me the most worried. It's not the only chance for a character death by any means. But it is surrely the most dangerous haunt. So congrats on getting through that.
Farmageddon
To all those that agreed to be on the podcast episode (even those who changed their minds), we agreed on a Friday in September.
What Friday's work or don't work for each of you.
Male N Human Oracle 7 | HP:51/78 | AC: 20 (12 Tch, 18 Fl) 23 (15 Tch, 21 Fl)| CMB: +2, CMD: 14 | F: +7, R: +5, W: +7 | Init: +3 | Perc: +1, SM: +1 Darkvision 60ft | Speed 30ft | Touch of madness 8/8 |Spells: 1st 7/8; 2nd 5/7; 3rd 4/5 | Active conditions: resist energy (electricity)
Right now it looks like I can do 9th, 16th, and 23rd.
Male NG Halfling Unchained Rogue 6 | HP:-4/46 | AC: 20 (14 Tch, 17 Fl) | CMB: 2, CMD: 15 | F: +5, R: +10, W: +4; +2 vs fear effects | Init: +4 | Perc: +11, Sense Motive +6 Stealth +15 | Speed 30ft | Sneak Attack 3d6 | Active conditions: STR damage 1 | Ammo: 12 arrows | Danger Sense +2
If we're recording in your morning, the 9th and the 23rd would work best for me. I've got prior engagements every Friday from 12PM to 3PM central time zone, but outside of that timeslot I'd have all the time in the world on those days, by the looks of it right now.
Farmageddon
Alright. I'll double check my schedule with the missus and get back to you.
Farmageddon
Both the 9th and 23rd work for me. So I'd say let's schedule the 9th. That way if anything goes wrong, we can fall back on the 23rd.
And if anyone wants to participate who can't do so on those days, let me know and we can schedule another one of these.

I’m so interested in this process. I missed what time window you are considering.

I don't think we agreed any specific time yet.
I should be available 18.00-24.00 EET, so 11.00-17.00 CST
Farmageddon
I have to be done by 1:30 CST, so before that. The closer to 11 we can get the better.
Farmageddon
I also want to say that anyone that can't make it at that time but is still interested in participating, I'm more than happy to do this again. And again and again until everyone who wants to join has had a chance.

I'm fascinated by the prospect and the process, but that falls squarely in my 8-to-5, so I will look forward to hearing the end result.

I think Loth mentioned he has engagement 12pm-3pm cst.
I should be able push the start toward 10am, so that would give us two hours for the podcast.
Male NG Halfling Unchained Rogue 6 | HP:-4/46 | AC: 20 (14 Tch, 17 Fl) | CMB: 2, CMD: 15 | F: +5, R: +10, W: +4; +2 vs fear effects | Init: +4 | Perc: +11, Sense Motive +6 Stealth +15 | Speed 30ft | Sneak Attack 3d6 | Active conditions: STR damage 1 | Ammo: 12 arrows | Danger Sense +2
Additionally I might be able to move up that other engagement myself by a little, though an hour is definitely a bit much, but I might be able to talk my pals into moving it up 30 minutes so I could be around till 12:30? We could meet in the middle at 10:30 starting-wise and still have 2 hours that way.
Farmageddon
If it helps, episodes are generally only an hour long. Plus or minus 15 minutes.
Farmageddon
I realize, looking back and rereading my posts, that I accidently made it seem like a two hour block. I just want to have time for techincal delays.
So does 11 am (CST) work for you two?
Also, you'll need Skype.

Skype?
That's a name I haven't heard in a long time...

Should be doable. I think it's pre-installed on Windows, but I have no idea about my account information.

Oh geez, Skype. It's been a while for me too but I'm sure I can work things out. 11AM works for me, and I'll inform my friends that I might possibly run late that day.

I know it's not a popular system anymore. But I've found it to be the most reliable one to have built in recording.

For what it's worth (and it pains me to say this), the other campaign I run with Razkiv's player hasn't seen any posts from them as well. It's been a while...

It's okay, if we hurry down the basement within the buff window it might be good, during our skype conversation the GM let it slip that that's where all the combat is :P

Sorry I wasn’t clearer earlier, I’m back. Vacation was good, but if you saw the news about the strike-that-wasn’t, we were some of the people affected by the cancellation of trains, so getting home was more challenging than expected. But all turned out well.

My original character sheet/PC-gen thing appears to be lost to the ages, so my profile is now the most up-to-date version of my sheet... I think I've leveled up correctly though.
Used my feat for yet another rogue talent, Slow Reactions, which seems really good! I also tossed a bunch of skill ranks into Sleight of Hand because I hadn't done that at all!

Can I have spells prepared in my new slots?

@Zenaida: In the past, GM Sphen has said slots are available for spontaneously-cast spells, but they aren't automatically filled for prepared casters. Does a warpriest have the ability to spontaneously cast healing spells? Similarly, Tarphrex won't get new spells until he rests, but he will have the ability to cast a couple more from newly-available slots.
----------------------------------
Tarphrex' level up:
Ranks in Appraise (because hoard), Lore (Undead) (because, well, recent events), Fly (because dragon - and wings!), Use Magical Device (because magic), Know (Arcana) (because magic)
Can now cast 2nd-level spells up to 5/day and 1st-level up to 7/day. I haven't investigated what his new spells will be, but he gets one of each level.
And it won't manifest quite yet, but Tarphrex' anatomy has been gradually changing and when next he rests, a pair of dragon wings will be evident, granting him the feat Draconic Glide.
Other feats that interest me for him, in no particular order:
Go Unnoticed
Improved Initiative
Kobold Confidence
Low Profile
Magical Aptitude
Skill Focus (Stealthy)
His character sheet has not been modified. As always, I'm interested in what other players might choose for his level up - I don't play enough to believe I know all of the cool options.
