We'll make things move tomorrow (Tuesday) night. You are all on the cusp of leaving this area and setting out into the wilderness.

Hello everyone!
I am SO sorry that my posting has had a hiccup here.
My work has been a veritable nuthouse as of late.
PLEASE stick with me.
I believe we'll all be posting again this coming weekend.
No worries, GMQ. RL happens.
Janosian, aren't you pretty tight with GMQ IRL ? Have you heard anything?
Is he doing OK?

Hello friends!
I'm so sorry. Yes, there have been so many real life distractions that always seem to make me...uhhh...distracted.
Among them has been a lot of hard work to prepare for interviews for a new job with the library where I work. I might not be hired, but it's been a good experience nonetheless. More news to come there. I'm in a great place, because I LOVE my current job.
Sit tight...more to come soon.
Glad to know all's well. Apparently better than well. Good luck with the new opportunity.
A bit of news as we get things more fully underway here.
Another player contacted me recently hoping to join this group. I believe he had played book one and part of book 2. The player's handle here is Sharkbite, and hopefully they're lurking around here and might make a post.
Here's the best news for all of you: Sharkbite wishes to bring his mystic, so you might have dual healers in this group!
Sharkbite, feel free to say hello!
I think this will be great for all of us to build back some posting frequency.
I'm honestly still not sure how to bring this new character in, but I'll figure it out. I may just press an easy button and have them be a disoriented refugee from Tyralkis base (that will get Sharkbite in with the group more quickly).
That's great to hear, GMQ!
Sharkbite got a bit of an introductory post in the Recruitment thread the other day.
It'll be real nice to have not just another healer, but a priest of Hylax along for the ride!
Maybe we'll find them when we pop the trunk of the cruiser haha

And he's a pilot!
Oh SuperS. I like that.
But can we trust anyone we find here?

At this point, do we dare even trust ourselves?

Tried to draw Beau into some paranoia about T'sorkel after T'sorkel healed John but left him with conflicting memories, but Beau turned it back on me. It was too funny.
Another Shirren! Glad to have someone else with healing duties. T'sorkel is really not a focused healer. That said, I haven't found many instances where it's been absolutely needed.
[Beau is over all this midn diddling he's been getting.
Amen to that, VBD!
And welcome aboard Sharkbite. Great to have you along for the trip!
Thank you for taking the initiative to post, Pokotho.
Just a heads up, I'm going to go ahead and change my pic so Pokotho can use his chosen shirren pic. This may take a bit of time to get used too, but I'm pleased to make a change.

I can change mine if that makes it easier for people. I just looked up Shirrens and there were only two, one of which was already being used by T'sorkel. Didn't realize that I was stealing yours.
There's probably one with just a Holy Symbol or something that I can nab instead.

No no...I insist you use the one you were using. I like this new dragon--I just saw the D&D movie, so I rather like being the dragon DM!
Sharkbite, FYI Rar'gul is part of the Hylax faithful and serves as a Temple Guard in the Halls of the Everqueen. Would he be likely to know of/recognise Pokotho?

With the Priest theme, my level 6 benefit is:
Mantle of the Clergy
You have reached a rank of authority in your religion. Typical lay followers of your religion have a starting attitude of helpful toward you and will often provide you with simple assistance on request due to some combination of adoration, respect, or fear (depending on your religion), and even other clergy must give your opinions due consideration in matters of disagreement. You gain a +2 bonus to Diplomacy and Intimidate checks against lay followers and lower-ranking clergy.
Sounds like he is known enough that you might have heard of him. Not like Space-Pope style or anything, but enough that his name has floated around and his robes are recognizeable.
The general buzz about him these days based on his backstory and set-up for the adventure is that he's kind of had a bit of a crisis of faith, and so he left his congregation to travel, but then he disappeared (was abducted by Grays).
Thanks for clarifying, Sharkbite!

I see you're all stunned by the 70s pop culture references.

Big update incoming tonight.
I'm at a conference this week. I should be able to post in the late evenings, but it may be sparse or inconsistent. Please bot if needed.
Enjoy the conference! (Is it that sort of conference? Or a non-fun one?)
Lol. Definitely work conference and not a Con.
Tech conference. AI, Fintech, Quantum tech, etc.

@T'sorkel.
Yup. Pokotho has Mindlink. And I figured the quick synopsis would be better for moving things forward than going into an extended detail of my experiences in the first two books when it's bound to come across as fairly similar to your own. What with the Gray's simulation and everything, it seems easy enough that they were running this experiment with more than one group, and the Chimera is just the setting they had programmed for it.
When I created Rar'gul there was only the small amount of flavour text on Trox from the Alien Archive available.
Over the weekend I revisited the Trox entry on Archives of Nethys and it's been updated with information from Interstellar Species - so much more details now! Also includes a little about Nchak, Hylax and some cultural tidbits.
I'm looking forward to adding some in the future! (I already slipped one in on my last post LOL)

Hopefully it was one of those rare ones where work conference and fun are able to coincide?

Mostly, though I had a lot more staffing duties than really being able to enjoy the conversations. I was working with a lot of people I like; I'm just exhausted by the end.

I can imagine. Even when working with great people, being on the go the whike time will take it out if you.
Hopefully you've been able to get some rest by now! :)
Fun stuff, Janosian.
ET, I know what you're saying. I've got my industry's big conference coming up in July. I'll be teaching for two days. Proctoring certification tests on the third, and trying to catch up with new tech and software, and conference friends in between. It will be exhausting.
Janosian, I didn't read snark into any of your posts, just some table banter.

Same here. Never even gave them a second thought.

Thanks. :)
The more I read it, the worse it sounded to me, and I didn't want to throw weird sauce into our game because I'm having a great time.
On a separate note, is anyone playing in PaizoCon this weekend?
It looks like I'll only be running one game (it's full!) which means I'm getting to play more than usual.

I'm playing a few for PaizoCon.
Friday Evening - Through Sea & Storm
Saturday Morning - Drift Scars
Saturday Afternoon - Battle for Bulwark
Sunday Evening - Year of Fortunes Fall
Monday Afternoon - Sangoros Gifts
If there's something anybody needs an extra player for Saturday evening, I'm still free in that slot.
1-4 is Envoy (Chipolte Maplewood)
5-8 is Nanocyte (MicroCorp)
9-12 is Poncho (Mechanic)
I ended up having to work this weekend at the library, so I decided not to sign up for anything. I WILL be keeping track of any news from the con.
Sadly, I'm not Paizoconning. Have a great time, guys.

The vehicle allocations per one of John's posts and my sense of how we left the base were:
Truck -- John (pilot), Rar'gul
Cruiser 1 -- Beau (pilot), T'sorkel, Pokotho (T'sorkel was holding a gun on Pokotho)
Cruiser 2 (spare) -- Doc Flintbridge
If Beau was never driving, I guess we could retcon it to put the three of you from Cruiser 1 into Doc's car or the truck.
