Soooo out of character!
I'm thinking after that last shot int he butt Akh can now survive one normal hit (the 66 damage one wasnt a crit but it was damned close to double average damage) he has
Hurry to avoid getting a double attack is a LOT of pro active healing against a boss.
Sinjin is FF so jaraduk could retrieve launcher move away with the hurry action then fire.
It would be funny if guess just stood there shooting, looked through it at sinjin 10 feet away "wow.. good resolution on the scope..." put it down and saw sinjin in his face. Objects in telephotic scope are closer than they appear...
Wow, that was a quick brawl at the end, even with some terrible attack rolls from my side. And thanks to Melissa's healing, I didn't even need to take advantage of my secret weapon!

Go unconscious heal three stand up hit with 20 foot range?

I want to thank you guys for sticking with it, being such excellent players, and having such a great time over the last four years. It's been fantastic, and I hope you feel the same.
We're really wrapping things up at this point. First resolving the loose ends at Smuggler's Moon then setting your characters off into the sunset. Let's finish strong!
Nice. I was starting to wonder if Jaraduk was going to make it out.
YAY! thank you so much for running. Was something to look forward to during a couple of very rough years.
Wow, has it really been four years? It's felt like "that new AP after Dead Suns" the whole time. :D
Yes Ewok, thanks for running us through another awesome AP all these years! It's only a shame we weren't able to keep our whole crew the whole way through, but that's the nature of such a long running game, I think.
Somehow we've survived! I'm not 100% sure what I want to do going forward for Akh, but I can't help but imagine he's had enough of being beaten up and hunted. Plus, the whole shipping things around the galaxy business has been mostly profitable thanks to the assassins and other people trying to kill us, rather than the actual shipping itself. So I imagine it's time to hang up the delivery-dragon hat.
How about you guys?
My initial thought is that Jaraduk wants a simpler life, so he retires to Absalom station, and finds some quirky little gym to get a job at.

Melissa has that colony planet she bought the rights to. If Akh wants to come and taste what foods like when farm to table is a literal stones tomato throw. He can bring his cult of Foodie anti Kalistrialites who love food, go naked, work for a living, and are broke instead of the opposite...
She also needs to see if that donation to the church of saranrae could get an elemental rezzed. She feels bad about that.
... Should probably also look into getting a spatula and a normal resurrection for the guard that was thrown down the shaft. Thats well within her share of sinjins credit card.
She's not sure what to do about King Greggor. She needs to ask the cats about that one. Abject cowardice is a synonym for "smart" in ysoki so she doesn't care about that.
The self aggrandizement is perfectly fine, keeping people here.. not so much. . He needs to make his loans back, but Melissa has no idea what kind of interests rates he's charging. Its a fine line between working off what you owe and debt slavery.
But he seems to be doing a pretty good job here as most of the people love him and don't want to leave. She's not above editing greggor into the fight, telling him to keep the usery to a dull roar
I think Akh's definitely earned a relaxing farm-to-table lifestyle. Or maybe just a table-to-belly lifestyle. :)
Do most of the people love Dregor? Or are they just intimidated into liking him and/or praising him? He seems pretty manipulative.

There's probably a quarter of the population who hate him, resenting him for their long servitude. Probably half that are happy with their deal, and a quarter that are obsessively in love with him. Exactly how he fulfills wishes is never explained, but he does really make people's wishes come true. Just at an exorbitant price that's often a long-term indentured servitude.
And yes, four years! It blows my mind. As real life has gotten busier and busier over the years, I've really pared myself down to just this game. I had to see it through! These long-running games are just so special.
So despite our first impression soon after landing, he's relatively well tolerated and/or liked on average. Hmmm. I'll toss some thoughts in gameplay.
Start to finish in PbP especially is very long, so thanks for sticking with us!

Hey guys! I'm sorry I have totally disappeared for I'm not even sure how long now. RL slammed me hard recently between issues with health, work, kid, and elderly parents coming all at once.
I just looked through the discussion thread and see things have concluded. I haven't yet had a chance to read through gameplay so I don't know the actual events of what happened yet.
I'll spend some time tonight to sit down and read through and try to at least get a post in.
Really sorry about missing the finale... Wasn't my intention. I'll read through what has occurred and come back with another post later on.
But before I do, let me also say thank you to everyone! It has been an amazingly awesome ride and huge fun. Huge thank you to Ewok for building the world around us and giving us one of the most amazing playgrounds I've ever had the privilege to play in!
Will post more as soon as I can!

We've defeated the final boss, but there are still some interesting questions to resolve. So looking forward to Guess? getting in some last shenanigans. :)

Welcome back! Right on time to wrap up his character arc.

Yeah, you did meet an outsized number of disgruntled "employees". Mostly just because the AP wanted you to have maximum options in dealing with the King.

Hello. This is an FYI that I'll be away in nature starting this coming Friday 10/17, returning Sunday 10/19 when I will catch up and resume posting.
As always my hope is that since this is a weekend the disruption will be minimal to none. Bot as necessary.
Little heads up that I'll be traveling for work the next couple of weeks. Posting will likely be intermittent.

I think we're pretty much at the end. But honestly, I'm feeling sad that we're at the end of the campaign. It has been a really awesome ride.

My goodness! Just like that, we're at the end. Thank you all for an amazing few years. It's been so much fun. This was everything I hoped for when we set out together. We lost a few along the way, and I'm really thankful that y'all stuck it out. It's not an easy thing to finish an AP from start to end. Please feel free to drop more of an epilogue for your character if the fancy suits you. It's always hard to put a bow on a longtime character.
Life has changed a lot for me over the past few years, and my posts have whittled down from playing in a half-dozen games at a time and running multiple to just running this one and playing in another. I'm expecting to take a break from the forums for a while here soon. But if/when I return, I will definitely reach out to you all. It's been such a pleasure.

We sure are. It feels quite bittersweet to end a campaign, especially with so many fewer than we started with. But thank you again Ewok for being a stellar GM, bringing life to all the wild characters and sticking with us through some slower times at the end here.
With the forum down for a week I was reflecting on PbP here over the years. Earlier this year I hit 20,000 posts on the forums, the vast majority in PbP. It's been a LOT of games. And while along the way I've met a lot of really great GMs and players, it feels a little sad to recognize that many of the names I played for years alongside have moved on or scaled back their play. Basically, Ewok, you'll be missed! Hope you do eventually make your way back here and join in some games in the future.

Two amazing APs in a row. It's been quite the long haul. Perhaps when you return to the boards someone else will run one (I might be game for it).

20,000 posts, that is amazing. Just checked, I'm at 8,600.
Bittersweet is the right word indeed. It's been a really fun time. This was a different AP than most, but I think we engaged with it well and were able to pull out the pieces that connected to our group best.

This has been the only AP I've ever finished and the second one I've ever played (with the first being with Strek and BNW). It's been an awesome experience and I can't begin to thank Ewok for bringing it all to life as well as my fellow players for making it so much fun. Sooooo many laughs along the way.
Things changed a lot for me as well... I think I'm on a similar trajectory as Ewok... Early on, I whittled myself down to playing several and gm-ing just occasionally. Then it came down to playing this one game. And over this past year I've been slowly running shorter and shorter on time. I'm super grateful to have crawled across the finish line with all of you. I'll probably be away for a bit as well. But hope to come back and be more active again in the future. Gotta learn the 2nd edition rules at some point! Haha!
But coming back to this group, thank you guys for bringing me into the fold. I couldn't have hoped for a better group of fellow gamers over these many years. I hope there will be another opportunity to come together again!
As for Guess?, if you don't mind leaving this forum up, I'll look to find some time next weekend to post an epilogue.
