Good request. Thanks.

Unfortunately my whole VO team is pushed to their max with setting up Outpost, helping groups online and with the games they are currently running. I wish I could also take it myself but I had already committed to another one just before this was posted.
I will keep putting the word out and make sure I find you guys a good GM to help you out though. Have not forgotten about you. :)
I understand that. Thanks for the update. :)
Hi guys, having played the game with Eric as GM, I feel confident to be able to get you to the end.
Let me a few days to set things up and if one of you (or anyone) feel me in where you have stopped that will help me greatly!
If your character has a specific story tied in the game or with a NPC, feel free to drop me a PM so I can continue it.
Thanks Tyranius and Ilmakis!
We are essentially in between the end of Part 2 and the beginning of Part 3 as I understand it. We returned home from the alchemical orcs having lost one of our own to the blood ooze thing. We're recouping from the loss and plan to head out to the mastermind's lair, but we were trying to recruit our replacement character in-character.

I don't think there was any arc moving forward, but Simon is a rogue who was pretending to be a cleric (I recognize your name from playing with Fangor! Great minds think alike). Simon picked up a cleric dedication at 2nd level and was mentored by Sinan (the character who died in the ooze room). He fights with a rapier and dagger rather than a longsword (he had been pretending to be a cleric of Iomedae called Valor Holysword) or scimitar, but mentally is equal aprts cleric and rogue at this point.
Hey there! Thanks for jumping in! I'm only slowly coming back since my stay in the hospital over the holidays. Buuuut... Leofric. I was Sinan's player, a cleric of Sarenrae that.. weirdly... was usually tanking. He took Simon under his wing, and ultimately sacrificed himself so the others could escape. I like to think the fires of Sarenrae took care of the ooze as Sinan died.
Leofric was always a backup character because Sinan was very likely to die early and he had been teased a couple times. Leo was Talmore's cousin and young squire. But when they were set upon by undead, only Leo and Sir Lawen escaped. Krent has treated the younger man as his own squire ever since, and Leo has worked hard to help Krent back to his honor so they could continue traveling south to Taldor.
Here's hisBackstory if it helps:
When a cousin, Talmore visited on leave from the Silver Crusade, Leofric was sent with him to serve as his squire. Talmore found the young man to be a solid companion with a fast wit and faster sword arm. He would go far. For his part, Leofric enjoyed the company of the gruff elder knight and was honored to serve with his kinsmen. But when the battle-hardened pair finally fought their way to the front, their triumphs were few and far between, and Talmore died in a terrible battle that cost all but Leofric and one of Talmore's fellow knights, Sir Lawren Krent, their lives.
Heavy into their cups after the fall of Lastwall, Leofric helped Sir Lawren as he would have his cousin, but Krent had not been the same since Lastwall. In the end, Leofric has found he can only truly rely on his trusted steed, Giraud. Because when the chips are down, Giraud never gives up.
But Leofric realizes, he will likely never be a knight now.

It's a little unclear what happened vs what we discussed happening. For example, Simon's tagline still represents an unrested state from the last combat - I recall specifically noting that we hadn't rested since, so I didn't update his tagline with any healing.
I think the consensus was that we were going to spend some downtime crafting alchemical items. Some of us planned to (or did) return to the cave to pick up the raw materials that we had left behind; Simon planned to (or did) board up the ooze room and made a little shrine for Sarenrae to remember Sinan. But obviously, he wouldn't go back to the cave with just 1 hit point, so that would have to be the next day or something.
I don't remember what happened with +1 runes, whether they were an either/or with the alchemical items or some combination of and.
I do remember that we had all agreed to go out to the drop stump as soon as downtime was taken care of; I think we should wrap up downtime quickly and start there, as there will be fewer loose ends once we get out of town.
I'd have to scroll back through, but I'm pretty sure we've had 1 night's rest and this is the 2nd evening back in town.
To ease thing, I will say that you all had a night rest.
You can take as much time as you want (of course this could have consequences) and if you haven't done it already, you can roll your Crafting to know if you made it in time.
You can find the rules for crafting here also consider that the caravan can sell any common item of your level or lower.
The +1 runes were possible options to purchase from our looted money. We could get 2 and no alchemical items or 1 and some alchemical items or 0 and more alchemical items.
Indeed. My son moved out just less than two months ago, and we're still getting used to being empty nesters.
No sweat, Seems like we have a majority of family types here
Apologies for the delay. Get swamped with work, then had to prioritize my Outpost games.
Will resume this game shortly!
Thanks for your patience.
Indeed. No worries here.
Back!
Sorry for the delay.
I favor resuming the main quest.
Likewise.
You can sell the shadow rune and buy something else.
Just let me know what you take for your journey and how you get to the hidding place of V.
It's around twenty miles west of Etran’s Folly at the edge of the Five Kings Mountains. It's mountainous and forest terrain, using your horses will save you some hours of travel, but will not be useful to get closer to the hideout.
Looking at the map you have and with the info you've got, you think the first 10miles are normal terrain, the next 7 are difficult terrain and the last 3 are greater difficult terrain.
Will the horses be safe in the blighted area?
Leo has a horse, but we could always ask to borrow horses from the caravan for the rest of you lot
From your discussion with the ranger, yes, they will be safe.
OK, let's get horses.
Do you remember having helping Edra finding Rosemary?
Find it! And the response is yes :)
I had to go back and check, as it was a year ago IRL. Some of us gathered rosemary for the ointment for the horses.
Yes, we did. Sleeping bear.
Sorry, my son get sick and hadn't time to get here.
He's now better but had to get to the doctor and monitor his temperature.
That sucks. Hope he's OK.
Sorry for my delayed presence from the past days.
After taking care of my son, work have been flooding... had to work from 8am to 8pm yesterday and had to continue today...
Trying to get back on things here.
I'm very sorry guys, my son got sick again and work haven't slow down...
Get swamped in both, without accounting the side effect of my second shot of vaccine and the fact that we start preparing our move back to France.
Now work seems to settling down, my son is better so I can focus on better things.
Sorry again for my silence, I will resume the game tomorrow and hope to get back on track with this.
Thanks for the update, and I'm glad your son is doing better.
The new GM hasn't been on the boards for almost three weeks. Do we want to talk to Tyranius again about getting yet another replacement?
