Damn time traveling grandparents showing off being younger than you.... (I assume that was supposed to read 61, not 16). Happy birthday and enjoy your trip. Thanks for the notice, I will not as necessary.
I think maybe those were the birthday dates. I had to read the message about 4 times before it occurred to me, but those as dates do line up with today and the rest of the week.
Ah yes, that would make total sense!
But that is so much less fun then time travel...
I'm not sure if Nicolette's success grants a +2, since she had to use an ability check as per your request. I may have put some into the skill had I known at creation, but I figured I'd just do it when we level. I wasn't sure if it applied and I could have rolled a skill instead due to you saying it was used for "generalized Strength checks", but I also don't know if I am trained in it for my classes to know if I want to take it.
In any case, that's up to you GM if it boosts everyone's checks +2, as well as Joska's.
Apologies for the confusion. It's the birthdays, not the actual age. Sadly we are both a bit older than that XD.
Given the successful rolls on Aravashnial and Anevia, as well as her expertise in the medical field and having identified the potions, would Nicolette know if her potion of Lesser Restoration would restore either Aravashnial's sight or Anevia's broken leg's damage? As these are both story-based injuries (meaning they've been healed almost fully of damage and are still "injured"), I don't want to waste it.
Ah, Nicolette, I missed your post in the discussion thread.
Anevia's leg is as healed as it will get beyond the need of time (hit points are full and the leg is usable, though with a noticable limp). Aravashnial's eyes were destroyed by the Storm King's lash, and will require high power magics to repair ( regenerate or better).
No need to waste it!
That's fine. Thanks for answering it.
lol, "should" = "shouldn't"! I'm sure you got it. Let's not insult people Nicolette!
Haha, you write a post, reread it to ensure clarity, post it, and shortly after the edit phase ends, realize you made a mistake....
Yay for PbP!
100%, all the time.
Hey all, sorry for the absence. I had two separate personnel situations go sideways yesterday, and they are continuing into today. Will have a game post up late tonight.
Don't worry, those things come first and foremost.
You just make sure you're ok.
Yeah, you handle IRL. We've managed to keep ourselves entertained.
If we're down any hit points will we get the 2 HP healed for a night's rest?
Absolutely!
Did any of our healers want to address any wounds before sleeping for the night? If so, put it in a spoiler and roll accordingly.
I have 2 lay on hands to use before bed on others, I'll use one on myself only down 3 so even a 1 roll and the rest will bring be back to full. If you want a LoH here are 2 rolls just claim them.
After rest Joska will only be down 2 HP. She's take a lay of hands if nobody wants it, but anyone else who's down HP should go first.
Missy will just cast a CLW on herself before heading to bed.
Yeah, I think Kevin was the only one who was kind of hurt enough to need attention, which he had healing. That doesn't mean Nicolette isn't going to change out bandages, clean wounds, etc if it needs it, but I'll leave that up to you. They are "healed" of damage, so I'd assume that means the bandages can come off. The splint for Anevia may have to remain though, right?
Yes, her splint remains, and the scope of your magical healing has done all it can. Now it simply needs time to fully set (yes, it's weird this is a specific part of the game mechanic in this AP).
Between the healing tossed about, everyone is at full.
Guess I am a little late to the conversation.
Any time we camp, if I have one 1st level spell left, I can cast Keep Watch, which allows me to count as sleeping for rest purposes while awake. I can also engage in light activity, which includes Providing Long Term Care. So, I can Provide Long Term Care to everyone, which doubles resting HP gain.
Which should help with our long-term healing, though with the host of healing capable PCs, we may not need it!
Shhh....don't jinx it!
Joska, my apologies, somehow I missed your post speaking in Abyssal, and a Nat 20 no less! What language did you put through the translator for Abyssal?
I am letting my games know that starting today and until the end of October, I'm going to be on vacation. This shouldn't hinder my ability to post, but it will hinder my ability to post throughout the day (as my 23 cousins will possibly commandeer some of this time). Feel free to bot me or just wait until late night hours and I should have some posts up.
Thanks for the update! 23 cousins, that sounds like quite the large family affair! Did you rent out a castle for everyone to stay in?!
Some are local to the area. Some come and stay with us in a nice beach house. Aunts and Uncles all. It definitely gets loud :)
Oh, nothing to worry about Raven, just an aid roll.
The language is Kazakh. It's actually written in Cyrillic, but the transliteration into Latin letters makes it look very harsh sounding so I like it for Abyssal. Also most of the borrowed words are from Russian or Arabic so it's rare to get a translation with English words that need to be scrubbed out.
Have a great time Nicolette!
Sorry for the gap day yesterday. I must have left the post in Preview, having never actually submitted and didn't realize until I saw no replies this morning. GAME ON!
Haha, no worries, I have certainly done that!
Just curious, did I hear anything with my amazing perception check?

Ladies and gentlemen, I want to take a moment to say thank you to all of you. Our gameplay thread has hit its first milestone, 500 posts! Thank you all for your commitment to this game, I can't wait to see where things go in the coming days.
Everyone gain one hero point!
Congratulations to us all, and thank you Raven!
Hurray!
A very active campaign it seems.
Thank you!
Also, my connection may be spotty as I’m in the middle of the ocean.
Congrats to all! Let's keep this game moving!
I would like to apologize to you all for my absence. I don't like talking about it, as usually I can deal with it, however I have, slightly random swings of burnout and apathy over the course of the year where I lose all interest in almost everything. Where even things I normally greatly enjoy feel like a chore to do at best. Normally, I can push through, continue on and eventually the "burnout" as I've called it leaves. However I've hit a particularly rough patch this time around. That coupled with doubling my work time due to the holidays has left me with the desire to do nothing. However, that doesn't excuse my radio silence in this, and my other games. So again, I would like to apologize for that.
I thank you all for the wonderful experience and hope you have an excellent game with a most excellent GM at the reigns.
Sorry to see you go but totally understand. You have to take care of yourself! I definitely recommend talking with someone about your situation, that sounds a lot like anhedonia, it is a frequent symptom of chronic depression. If you need any resources, please do not hesitate to PM me.
Take care of yourself!
I'm sorry to see you go Amelia. Take care of yourself.
Hello everyone, as already mentioned in their post, Amelia will no longer be active with us in the game. I would like to thank them for their contributions in getting this game up and running, and wish them success in future gaming pursuits, and well being in their personal life.
I am not sure if anyone is interested in joining another game, but I have posted a recruitment thread Choose Your Own Adventure.
For any that saw my pre-recruitment thread a while back, this is now the game that set up. I have 8 potential games that I have proposed running (letting everyone vote right now - hence the title), and then will go into the actual recruitment after. It will be Pathfinder 1e with some significant house rules - it will feature a demi-gestalt system I have been using with my home group.
I hope to see some of you there!
The second half of this encounter, caused by the archer fleeing, dragged down the flow of this week's posting by bottlenecking a scene. I am sorry for creating the delay. I am normally a fan of sprawling, rolling encounters, but obviously that could make for challenges in PbP. I will consider such things in future scenes, as well as adapting the maps further to allow more mobility given the party size.
I assume you will make fast work of this one mongrel, then we can kind of reset before moving on.

I those kind of encounters as well. They can be done in PbP. One thing that can help if things are getting confusing is a round status summary at the end of GM posts. Something like Character X is at location D7 and attacking A. Character Y is moving to location G4, etc. Of course this requires a lettered and numbered grid.
But of course it also requires players to read other players' posts carefully and keep them in mind when they're deciding what to do, to move their icons on the map to where they want to be, and to communicate intent to each other in character or OOC.
It's totally doable; it just takes a little more care and attention all around.
Apologies, I was waiting on Tuesday for you to work out your next course of action as a party, then yesterday went sideways! Oh, the joys of managing people!
Apologies for holding things up with my delayed post. Partially it was a busier than usual workweek. Mostly I blame Callen and his recruitment though.
I became obsessed with figuring it out and getting a character made. It crowded everything else out in my head and left no rooms for thinking about my other games. Curse you Callen! :)
At least I finally finished. And now, back to my regularly scheduled programming.
Sorry for not getting a post out yesterday, had a big project I had to finish up.
Hey team, sorry for the delay, had a beast of a day at work yesterday with 4 team members calling out, then got home late to find my whole extended neighborhood blacked out. Someone hit a transformer apparently. Just got power and internet restored, getting post formatted and up shortly.
Also, I am editing a couple people's actions slightly to account for defeated foes (I will always do this so actions, and good rolls, are not wasted).
I am sure I am not just speaking for myself when I say 'no worries', and thanks for running this game! I am having a lot of fun, can't wait to emerge into the ruined city above!!!
Thanks Raven. It really helps because everyone can go ahead and post without worrying about initiative order.
