I think I've answered all remaining questions, but please let me know if there's anything else.
Sorry for not being responsive this week. I live in Texas and this is the first opportunity I've had to log in since Sunday.
Glad you are ok!
Yay for over 50 posts!
Very sorry, my young son got appendicitis and it's been a crazy few days, but overall he's fine. Time has flown by, and I am lacking sleep. Update over the weekend :)
Wowza!
Hope they (and you) are alright!
Ouch!
Get some rest, you'll need it for the next days/weeks :)
I'm glad to know everything ended up well. I wish your son a quick recovery.
Sorry for another slow week - I officially closed/ended one of my other tables. I wanted to give the campaign a decent send-off rather than just stopping, so my mental energy has been elsewhere. I do much better with two tables, so I am anticipating more regular posting this upcoming week

No problem. I hope it wasn't a sudden TPK :).
The perfect end to any campaign problem!
Concerning a link to the current inquiry, Osna had contacts with an inquisitor named Leandra v’Ardente. That was before the Temple was overthrown and the City Council (and the Blessed) took charge.
I do not know if Osna knows whether she is still alive and if she can still help. If so, can Osna still join her or leave her a message? This could help us get info on the v'Apore.
If she is alive, you would know where to find her. Bring it up in Gameplay if you want to suggest it to the group. Her residence would, of course, be in the Temple District, on the east side of the Courtyards.
Phon and Iniga, can I get an update? It's been almost a week since a post.
Posting on weekends is kind of hard, I've been really busy with everything happening due to the pandemic and having to adjust all my courses to a sudden shift to online.
I apologize.
Understood! Just wanted to make sure you were still around. I can bot Phon Vos for the time being if it will make things easier.
Apologies, work is v. busy. Struggling to find Iniga's place in this after the reset.
(spitballing here)
This might be difficult to pull off if you are busy and can't post much, but would Iniga be interested in assuming more of a leadership role during this time of crisis (the captain missing or dead)? It would be a pretty good fit for Iniga's boldness and charisma, and I know that our lower-charisma fellows (like Wamblee and Samen) could use a nudge in the right direction now and then.
In character, that makes sense, but ooc I'd rather not. That probably leads Iniga to push leads or things in a direction that Iniga wants to persue and might not align with other goals people have. I'm uncomfortable being a strong voice in that regard. Also, probably not a *great* idea when I'm averaging about a post per week :S
I'm taking some annual next week so I'm hoping the reset will allow me to rejig my schedule some and find a better balance. Currently I'm just coming home and falling asleep so things are sliding a bit atm
No worries! I really appreciate you being up front about what you are and aren't comfortable with.
Hmm, I have no other ideas currently, but I will ruminate for now.
Hope the vacation (if I'm reading the word 'annual' correctly in this context:) is very restful.
I'm still trying to get the lay of the land here. It takes me a while to get all the workings on a macro scale, when it comes to micro stuff I'm pretty good but big ideas and lots of names give me some trouble at first.
Yes, this is the first time I'm trying
1) a "new" campaign starting at a high level
2) dropping characters into the trouble already here (Moon, etc), rather than developing along with the campaign
So I know there's a lot! :) So far I think everyone is doing awesome, and feel free to ask questions if you need clarification on anything.

I'm hoping that will lead to a nice exchange down the road when we can discuss philosophy more. She does have wisdom so Phon doesn't strike me as someone who would let a comment like Samen's really hurt her if it was meant to be done as a point.
Oh it seems I didn't refresh, looks like Samen responded lol.

Yeah, I like the dichotomy of our two characters. Similar goals, but very different approaches to interacting with the gods. I can tone down the confrontationality, but with an extremely low charisma, Samen is prone to saying the worst thing possible because it seemed like a good idea at the time.
Nothing to add, just wanted to say how great the communication here is so we're all having fun.
Oh, and on a different note -
Iniga, we haven't really used the aspect of your character connected to the visions you sometimes see. If these were to increase in frequency, it would account for your more sporadic posting (you are occsionally distracted by a vision etc)
Thoughts? Not dictating this, just thinking out loud.
Question, would things like Speaking With Dead even work in this universe?
Curiouser and curiouser indeed.

I'm now wondering as well. But if it works, we should be able to know whether the corpse was once the captain.
I was also planning to use Osna's locate object to try to locate other vials near where the forge envoy are located or near the v'Apore house. If you can cast it as well, it could multiply our chances. But that's for tomorrow...
It's a good question. The answer is yes, but being that all dead bodies are "consumed" in some way (fire, tree, vulture, croc), this is something that has to be done right away, or never.
Also, I like all the scheming going on here. This party seems to be meshing quite nicely.
Let me know if Divining becomes too troublesome, I figured with her Blessing/Domain and her links to all of the pantheon, it was a very neutral and fitting way to work them all in outside of the standard "Channel Fire, Water, Air, etc".
I'll keep you posted of course, but for now I love the idea.
Very Busy week end, I will post tonight.
Updates are always appreciated - thanks!

Okay so.
I have access to the entire Cleric List of 3rd and lower. Help me come up with some spells here.
For my two third level slots, I can prepare Locate Object and Speak With Dead.
As a seeker of knowledge and an undoer of magic she almost always prepares the following for flavour :
- I always prepare Lesser Restoration and Tears to Wine as a 2nd, leaving me with 2 2nds.
- I always prepare Know The Enemy and Unbreakable Heart as a 1st, leaving me with 3 1sts.
0th - Read Magic, Detect Magic, Guidance, Detect Poison, Purify Food and Drink
1st (5/day) - Know the Enemy*, Unbreakable Heart*, <>, <>, <>
2nd (4/day) - Lesser Restoration*, Tears to Wine*, <>, <>
3rd (2/day) - Speak With Dead, Locate Object
I can always leave the slots open for the next day as well, considering we don't know what we will be facing. I feel like that might be the best option.
Very nice to see your thought process, and also appreciated that you simplify things (and provide some very good healing/utility) with those consistent spells.
Phon Vos - just wanted to make sure you saw my response to your prayer. We'll be moving on to morning now that the current scene is concluding.
Starting a new day. First item of the day is talking to the corpse. I will post the new date, and you can discuss what questions to ask, etc.
Sorry it was a long weekend (Victoria Day) and I was without a computer.
It slipped my mind because usually the US Holidays line up with the CAN ones, but not this. For some reason I thought it was Memorial Day and I just didn't mention it, my bad.
No worries! Glad all is well.
I'm around, but I understand if most people won't be posting over Memoiral Day weekend.
Not Memorial Day here. But I’ve been sick and stuck in bed. I will try to post later today.
Hope you feel better soon!
Also, I'm moderately amused that both Phon Vos and I have been incorrect about our holiday assumptions. Hooray for play-by-post!

That's because we're in three different countries at least: US, Canada and France if I'm correct. No timezone issue with PbP!!!
It's been over a month since Iniga posted, so I'm guessing she is out for the long term.
My thoughts: I think we are actually humming along quite nicely with 3 - you all post regularly, and I think the character interactions are great.
If any of you know of someone on the boards who would want to step into Wamblee's shoes (pretty standard monk with some free damage reduction from his relic), let me know, otherwise I don't really want to add any brand new PCs out of the blue.
Thoughts?
It's sad to lose Iniga. I assume you'd be willing to welcome her back if she suddenly regains interest?
This is the only PbP I do, so I don't know anyone else on the boards who would be interested. Maybe you could contact one of the folks who had applied a while back?
Absolutely Iniga is welcome back. I hope I make it clear to everyone that I always welcome back players, which is why Iniga is still doing her part, more or less. (with Samoon, Marianne, etc, it would take some doing, but I would be willing to try!)
I'll think more on potential applicants, and wait to hear back from others. No big deal if you can't think of anyone - I appreciate the reply nonetheless (that goes for everyone)
Hi,
I don't have anyone in mind who could come and play with us right now. I've been off the boards for a long time before joining your game and the few people that I could think of are more into 2E society play right now.
That said, for the moment, I think we can move on with 3 players only. We've now getting a good chemistry and interactions so I'm happy with the situation as it is if everyone is ok with it as well.
If the check doesn't make it, I have 3 1st level and 2 2nd level slots open, I can try to pray for a tool to help with tracking.
