The Whispering Tyrant has escaped Gallowspire and ravaged the lands of Lastwall. Although the nation managed to evacuate many civilians, there are still refugees, Pathfinders, and irreplaceable cultural treasures trapped in this undead-ridden realm known as the Gravelands. The PCs are part of the Society's efforts to infiltrate these dangerous lands, rescue the Pathfinders missing in action, and recover what historical texts and treasures they can. Just be quick! Every hour behind enemy lines increases the chance a nearby army learns of the PCs' mission.

Nenyath's Gears tallies 10.7 Bulk (including the "2 free" for Stowing in a Backpack), meaning that they are actually already Encumbered, and can thus lend 4 Bulk to the Lift!

Ryiah can help as well if needed, though her strength is nothing impressive.
If it's been over 24 hours since someone posted, and that character is "up" in any mode of the game, other player are encouraged to "bot" that character either directly above - or directly below - their own characters' alphabetical names:

I totally understand the benefit of doing this botting tree, but unfortunately, my life is crazy right now and I can barely keep up with the three games I am in with my own characters. I just can't commit to posting for another player as well. Sorry I can't help.

I'm confused about Darg's HP. Is he at 24 or 29? Assuming he cannot use shield block, it seems he should be down another 5, right? If he's at 24 and no one else heals, Ryiah probably will next turn.
waiting, think I can use Shield block as a reaction since my last action was to raise shield, so I think I am not going to take damage from the last attack, just waiting to make sure since I am a PF noob, but pretty sure that is how it works, so Darg probably doesnt need any healing right now.

Reactions are refreshed at the beginning of your turn, whether you had used it or not.
Let me know if that clarifies it for you?
Some light reading: Look at the description of the Stunned to see an example of the language.
sorry, my action last round was to raise my shield, the reaction that I took to the crossbow bolt was Shield Block. Sorry, still confused a little on rules.

Also PbP can make the "order of operations" a little unclear.
Basically on your turn, you gain 3 actions (◆◆◆) and 1 reaction (↺).
Fully using a shield involves two of these: An action on your turn to Raise for the AC bonus (◆), and a reaction in response to being hit to Block for damage reduction (↺).
If you choose not to use your reaction to Block, you can instead use it for another reaction (ex. Attack of Opportunity).
in post 360, Brayka's 3 actions were ◆ "set it down gently" (easing statue to the bottom of the stairs with a rolled success), ◆ stride and ◆ lay on hands, thank you for checking :)
@GM Rainzax, requesting a doublecheck, I think in post 361, skeleton's second attack on Darg (rolled 21) is a miss.
Darg should be at AC 23
19 base
+2 circumstance (raise shield Darg post 352)
+2 status (lay on hands Brayka post 360)
Posting reactions with that in mind so we can move with it, thank you :)
If someone else wants to direct Larraz? Brayka was about to but I then felt that a post directing three characters (Nenyath/Brayka/Larraz) was an overstep.
i think Larraz should mostly just do disrupt undead unless someone takes a bunch of damage then stop, heal, and go back to disrupting undead, fairly simple approach.

Hope that riff on "set it down gently" was OK.
Your success (◆) becomes a critical success (◇) meaning you shorted yourself one action. I am assuming you'd like to draw an item? Which? Something else?

Correct!

Apologies @SgtSplat, I previewed but did not submit reactions from both Nenyath and Brayka this morning against the attacks on Darg. I think we're past the point to redo that so I'm going to keep going, but, no, was not my intent to leave you hanging.
ok, i think i am following, so you did heal me, and now Ryiah healed me so I am still full health. Darg is happy to go toe to toe with the baddies while you all ge the stone down safely [actually he is not and thinks the whole adventure is crazy - risking our lives to save dead people and a horse, but...its Darg :) ]
so are ryiah cancelling out the effect from the evil necro guys bad juju? and is the +2 I get from Ryiah good for using against that effect?
First you are healed to full HP, then you are making your Fortitude save, in that order.
Open the spoiler after your have decided to keep your outcome (ex. Not use your last Hero Point).
Ryiah's bonus is against Fear effects - this is a Negative effect, so, different.
Let me know if you have any other questions!

Don't forget that you guys get +1 to attack and damage from inspire courage!

Held Gear: (3.0 Bulk)
Flail (B), Steel Shield w/ Shield Boss (BB)
Stowed Gear: (4.2 Bulk)
Crowbar (L), Adventurer's Pack (B), Pup Tent (L); plus Brayka's Pack (BB) and Flail (B)
Darg's Gear tallies 7.5 Bulk (including the "2 free" for Stowing in a Backpack, including carrying Brayka's Pack and Flail), meaning that he can thus lend 7 Bulk to the Lift!
Nenyath is +8 Athletics and 1 Hero Point, figured he is best to lead and I'm still botting him for the moment. I had Brayka assist at +7 Athletics (and got an unexpectedly good roll.) Darg and Ryiah can also assist.

I will try to post tomorrow. Still dealing with health issues with my kid, so I haven't been keeping up with PbP.
I think we had picked up:
The first 3 zombies (clement plus 2??)
Chapel corpse (Gibb potsmasher)
Tavern corpse (Champion? Didn’t seem to be a Pathfinder)
We found Bryrigar in Goldenflame College
I think we asked about but did not investigate or take the zombies with Ralthis

Yes.
And from those encounters / locations, Larraz is able to identify those described above. There are a few he is unable to identify. (Indeed, there is no shortage in the Gravelands).
If you can think of another encounter / location not already mentioned, let me know.
Otherwise, I think we are fully accounted for here!
...
Second order - I'm going to count up all the Relics you managed to recover. Off the top of my head:
-The Statue, obviously, despite GM trying to thwart at every turn!
-Darg picked up a Bar Sign I think
-A shiny sword
-Clement's Wayfinder (stuck in the horse neck)
-???
What else am I missing?
...
Finally, check my GM Bar - I have replaced the "Dossier" link with a "Contact" link - please fill that out for Chronicles.
I think we found a second Wayfinder in the College itself?
Is that poor wagon extra credit :) ? Kudos to Ryiah for flogging herself to fix it, “Crafting” (and any other untrained INT skill) are just not Brayka’s specialty.
We have the wayfinder because Darg was wearing it for light.
I did pick up the bar sign.
Not sure if we found anything else, oh, what about the peice of armor with the crest?
Ok so now the list is:
-The Statue, obviously, despite GM trying to thwart at every turn!
-Darg's Bar Sign
-A shiny sword
-Clement's Wayfinder (stuck in the horse neck)
-Another Wayfinder
-Crested Armor
