back, but it's veeerry late. I will resume tomorrow after work. Sorry for the very extended delay, the return trip was "enhanced" with holiday weekend traffic.
Okay, so I'm going to be away in nature again this weekend, BUT
1. it's only one overnight, Saturday night.
2. no holiday / work weekdays.
So I expect minimal/no disruption this time since I usually go with one weekend post from everyone. Then, after that, I will be able to continue without any disruptions through the end of the scenario.

Plenty of options available to do things other than blow up the zombie, I summoned the big one assuming it would stick around. It did successfully also absorb 1 slow, so I consider it a great success.
A lesson I'm taking from this combat is: even when the initiative block spills over into another round, favor completing earlier round versus taking actions as-posted from the next round. I'll be more diligent about that. Pines, apologies you're having to post your actions a third time.
On the bright side the group is doing well and have a lot of actions to prepare for whatever creatures manifest out of thin air for Round 3.

Hey folks! I’m back.
For our 35th anniversary, the wife and I took the kids to the Black Hills and Yellowstone National Park. Saw the Badlands, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Jewel Cave, Devil’s Tower, the Bighorn Mountains, Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. We saw bison, bears, bighorn sheep and elk up close (relatively) and even (supposedly, I’m not sure) a mountain lion at some distance. Despite our best efforts, we saw no wolves.
A came home with a bonus gift: COVID. So I’m taking things slowly, but I’m getting back to my games today.

It can be tricky. I like adding a
??? or End of Round
to the initiative tracker for things might need to reassess etc and just not accepting turns from people in that next round till after that.
Of course some time I even add one of those if not strictly necessary to keep people on their toes etc
I suspect some are occupied with long holiday weekends. I figure I should give until Wednesday for this first challenge to give everyone a chance to ease back in before I move on.
My flight is on the 12th of July, I will only be able to check the board on the 14th. My flight back is on the 1th September, I’ll be quite tired after that, might be able to check on the board the next day but probably the 3rd.

Dear GMs and Players:
I apologize for my absence over the last 8-9 days. I have suffered a serious bout of COVID. That plus the stresses of business and family have really beaten me up, physically. I am now up and out of bed, but I continue to live life in the slow lane.
I don’t want you to worry about me. I’m not gone, but I do ask your patience.
If I am your GM, I will return soon. If I am your player, I will understand if you remove me from the game.
We are going to Japan with the kids, showing them the country and meet my wife’s family and friends, showing how much our children grew up in a year or so.
I’ll be working remotely during a part of that period.
I should be able to go on with the games most of the time. I’ll try to warn in advance as much as I can.
We’re thinking of doing something the first week-end of August but nothing set yet.
Also my apologies, I thought I had checked the game at the beginning of the week-end.
That's a wrap! I'll get the game reported tonight, but also I neglected to ask for downtime, so if anybody will get earn income gold or other downtime notes. I'll issue chronicles as soon as everyone has their say on downtime.
Oh, also, I'm open to any feedback here or privately. This was the first 2nd edition PFS game I've run. I tried to do it justice!
Now we decide who's up next!
Wouldn't have known this was your first game if you didn't say anything. You did great! Same as Farol when he did one of his earlier games (Dacilane Academy). Very seamless. I don't have any 3-6 Repeatables so it's not me :)
Back in May, both Pirate Rob and Tarondor had semi-volunteered to run the one after May. I think Vincent also volunteered back in February to run something as long as the game didn't run into his vacation, but this one ran into his vacation and the next one would start in the middle of it. :)
I'm also happy to run if nobody else does, but we may actually deplete the 3-6 scenarios first. I don't know what the Season 4 repeatables are, but Season 3 had #3-13, and I think that's it ... ?

My timing remains awkward, my preference is to actually skip the next game entirely (As in not play or GM). (I'm going to the UK for 2 weeks on the 25th and am trying to clear out all my non AP games)
I am happy to run the next game after though and shouldn't have anything over complicating my schedule until tax season next year.
