Four Flavors of Heaven (Inactive)

Game Master Timespiraled

Wow, neat analysis of the power of low-light vision. I thought that any light prevented darkvision and operates only in complete darkness--but now I can't find that reference.

Agreed.

I'll try and update soon but this week has been overwhelming. We're on a rotating staff basis and on top of that I have something like 100+ reading evaluations to analyze and compile.

I may be intermittent this week, but hopefully I can stabilize.

I'll be able to have my next post up tomorrow, and I'll make it a point to hit every day this week. Piella, feel free to barrage me in Discord DMs. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel (for this week).

**Badgers**

welp, I immediately thought "mushroom, mushroom"; showing my internet age.

Sorry about the frequent delays these past couple of weeks. Work is a grind but we're nearing the end. That means I'll soon have all the free time in the world, but until then I'm completely drained.

I'll have the map up tomorrow morning. If I see this is going to be a frequent thing, I may take a break for a week or so to get work done. I remain committed to finishing this quest and would say otherwise if it was truly becoming too much.

It's cool Timespiraled, thanks for the heads up. Take care of RL, we're not going anywhere.

In the end, this is going to be frequent thing and I'm not able to invest my time enough in anything hobby at the moment. I hate having to take time off but I'd prefer to be able to prep up correctly and not keep forgetting to post here.

What I'll do is post on Sunday, the 23rd with an update. If things are still too busy, I'll take until the 30th at the most.

I know this is far from perfect, but I'd rather be honest, take the break, and come back then post once a week half-heartedly.

Thanks for letting us know.

No problem here. RL has to take place ahead of any game. We'll wait, and thanks for letting us know!

Personally I'm loving this game, this character and this group!

a question on the map, is the shrine two rooms? or is the area to the east (whith what looks like bushes in it) the lean-to?

bleah, my browser decided to cast Invisibility and Ineffectuality while I was typing.

That's the lean-to/garden section, yeah.

hmmmm, so was the first attack a surprise round or do the bandits get an attack?

I just had them move, call it a... half-surprise round. I find surprise rounds feel really odd when the PCs are on the defensive and it felt better to reward you spotting them rather than have them just not move for a whole turn, which would be even weirder.

Right, I just didn't see the one near Taicho move or attack so I wanted to ask.

Just got wifi back so the next post will be tomorrow. My apartment's had some real issues these past weeks.

Another burst of work this week. Got something like 50 reports to do, so I'll post the battle update on Friday. Thankfully, next week is the last 3 days of school and it's all happy goodbye stuff, so I'll be free as a bird.

That's cool, Timespiraled, RL has to come first. Thanks for the heads up.

I'm honestly so done with this year. I can't wait to have the time to focus on hobbies again. I feel like my mind's become slush.

No problem. Like Taicho said, RL takes precedence over the game. We're all enjoying it and can wait for it to be fun for you as well.

I'm very done with the last 18 months, despite the fact that I got family time and fewer commute miles, and time to be a placard waving activist--the mental and physical toll on the, well, world has been quite something, and I'm looking forward to putting that in the rear view mirror, so to speak.

I was toying with animation last night and made Piella's image animated :P

It's not perfect, but I like it.

Oooh, I'd love to see it.

It's in her "Appearance" section

Oh my god that's gorgeous. What did you use to make it?

My Heritage. It isn't free, and it's hit or miss, but if it works, it's really cool. Plus, I use some photomanipulation, photo editing to make my results a little better for their algorithm to catch, dependent on the picture.

Girlfriend and I are gonna be in the woods with no electronics until Monday afternoon! See you all then!

We still demand satisfaction. There can be no escape :P

So it's Taicho's job to hunt down things from the spirit realm and deal with them. Would anyone have any trouble if he executes this thing?

I can make it easier for you to do so, if you want.

Was there anything of value on the Soufang Yi when Taicho searched them?

Realized I never answered this, but yes. Here's the total list of the gear the three fiends were carrying:

Masterwork Studded Leather (3)
Masterwork Buckler (3)
Masterwork battleaxes (3)
Masterwork composite longbows (3)
Climber's Kits (3)
Masterwork Trapmaking Tools (3)
Potion of Cure Light Wounds (6)
Black Adder Venom (3)

The weapons and armor are clearly of Yuanzi make and can easily be stored in the cart and brought with you to a town and sold, though they'd require a good cleansing first. Chances are the creatures stole them from Yuanzi citizens snatched up in the dead of night.

Ok, Piella would use Prestidigitation to clean them and mend them eventually. We'd have taken the potions with us and probably the climbing kits guys?

Yeah, that sounds good. Taicho and I are proficient in longbow as well--might not be a bad thing to grab.

I've got a day away from home tomorrow with friends, but when I get back I'll mock up a map of the crevasse.

Heads up that I'll be flying in a few hours to Switzerland, so I'll see you all tomorrow xD My time zone's gonna be slightly different but it'll work out.

very cool, have a good time in Switzerland :)

Enjoy!

Free time has been hard to find. I'll try and update tonight. This intermittency might last until I come back on the 19th.

Cool, thanks for the heads up!

I was waiting to see if Lung was going to go. If he doesn't post today, I will post tomorrow either way.

No worries. Lung hasn't posted in our other game either. I'll reach out on discord.

Sorry, folks, life swamped me for a bit there! o.0

I am just picturing Lung's attack like some cartoony thing if they fail the save. Like you stare at them and then they are bonked on the head and start seeing stars in a fascinated haze with the sounds of cuckoo cuckoo sounding in the distance of the spirit realm.

Lung has to sing "Trust In Meee" first, for it to work :D

I watched things until supper, then had family time. Should have check in before I went to bed! Sorry.

Love the description Piella. "Bonk!" "Cuckoo! Cuckoo!" with stars floating around the head! Straight out of old cartoons!

I think you exploded that poor laughing creature's brain, Taicho.

LOL, hopefully!

Pretty much. Also I just got home from Europe!
