Hey thanks for the patience. My mom had a serious accident and I spent several days with my family. Had zero time to update as my focus was on my family. And the minute I get home, I got Covid pretty badly. Had zero energy to update.
But I'm back and ready to update!
Again, sorry about that. I should have been more communicative.
As for upping the encounters, we're almost done with this 'dungeon' and will keep everything as is designed. But as we advance further in to the story, I'll likely adjust things a bit more than I have.
That sounds like a lot, I hope you are okay and your family as well! Feeling better?
Hope both you and your mom recover! best wishes of health going forward!
If you ever have other personal commitments don't hesitate to let us know; we can sit tight and wait for as long as you need!
Regards,
PDK/Akku
Thanks for the kind words! Mom is doing much better as am I.
It's been nearly a month since Kal Drak's last post. About to send them a PM. If we don't hear back, would you guys want to stay at 5 people or recruit another?
I don't think we'd be missing a major party role, so probably let's just keep going.
I... wouldn't mind a mage or cleric (or mage/cleric!) added to the mix to be honest... for comfort, heroes' feast, alarms, hot water/shower, and traveling in style, etc. ;)
Anyone objects to me making a post on Flaxseed to get us a nice 8th level cleric or mixed arcane/divine Mystic Theurge?
Go ahead! A dedicated healer is always useful. I've never seen a Mystic Theurge before, so that could be very interesting too.
Thank you for organizing a replacement for Kal Drak, PDK.
I'd like input from everyone about the replacement characters, though the final decision will be mine.
We only have one more room to finish before we finish part 1 of this adventure! Once we're done, we'll definitely add the new PC.
Also, would you guys want your chronicle sheets for part 1 when we finish this section or at the end of the module?
(Also, DMVs suck! Spent nearly all day at the DMV)
I'm partial to getting the chronicle as soon as we complete part 1, as it gives me a sense of progression and feeling of accomplishment. On a subconscious level, it also helps motivate continuous effort in play throughout the entire module.
And yes, DMV is probably inspired by some layer of Hell...
@GM: in regards to the two applications thus far, I will provide you with my preference via PM.
So has everyone had a chance to look at the two applicants? I'd like to send out a PM by the end of the day, but would like input from everyone before I do.
Sorry there were a lot of posts, which two are we reviewing?
The two candidates are Nyxis and Raphael de Leon. I have some chores I need to do, but I'll send out an email by the end of the day.
Okay, I just sent a PM to Nyxis. They will be joining you guys once we are officially done with this 'dungeon'.
We are nearly done with Part 1. If you want PFS credit, please fill out the following (subtier 7-9):
Name of PC receiving credit:
PFS #:
Faction:
Once we're finished, I'll post the chronicle sheets for those who are interested.
I am here. Thanks for the chance to join you. I had fun making Nyx and hope to have fun playing him. I usually have no issues posting daily unless I am traveling - which is rare, but will happen for long weekends in both May and June.
Name of PC receiving credit: Maaldrek
PFS #: 4456-22
Faction: Sovereign Court
Thank you!
Welcome Nyx! We’re nearly done with this dungeon, just wrapping it up with the final encounter. I’ll find a way to introduce your character soon, when they head back to town.
I'm not worried about credit.
How much xp is the current chronicle worth? Does part 2 need to be applied to the same character?

@Leon: my experience GMing other similar modules is that they have two or three parts, and each part is like an AP book in terms of credit: 3 XP and 4PP for each part. Some modules even have a bonus 4th chronicle that provides another 3 XP and 4, 5 or even 6PP, with a large gold deposit as well. Every module vary in terms of that bonus chronicle, however, but the 3XP and 4PP per part is fairly standard.
PS: in essence, this means the character you assign this to may go up by 2 or 3 levels, depending on how many parts in the module. Many folks don't like to assign them to a 9th level PC as this will retire them to level 12 (and high level mods are few and far between) I typically assign such module to low level characters and keep those chronicles in reserve for when they get to the level range noted on the chronicle. This gives me time to plan out the progression of this character and perhaps shape its build along the way so as to fully take advantage of the chronicle rewards unlocked by the module in question.
Yeah, there are three parts in this. The second and third part are a bit longer. And Akku is correct, 3xp and 4 pp per level. There is a bonus fourth chronicle that has a surprise on it! The chronicle sheets are available online. But if you want it to be a surprise, feel free to wait.
Sorry I haven't been online this week. Was on a road trip. Was supposed to have good wifi and/or cell reception. But with two flat tires and getting lost in the middle of New Mexico thousands of miles away from home... was definitely an adventure. Finally back to civilization. Will push out an update and get chronicles out tomorrow.
By the end of the weekend, we should be on to part 2!

Hey folks, sorry I vanished on you. I had a bad case of very resistant pneumonia. My various meds started interacting and things spiraled pretty far. I'm back home and sorta working, but I think I will stay out of PbP for a while. At least until I more fully recover. Maybe we will meet again in the future. Again, sorry to go AWOL on you.
Good to hear from you Kal Drak. Sorry to hear about your pneumonia. Hope to see you around again!

For everyone else, you can read up more on shadowbound corruptions here. If you have any questions about them, please let me know. Working on chronicles now and various shadowbound corruptions will be appearing on there (though there are ways to remove the corruptions if you don't like them).
Oh nice! I think I will apply all those corruptions to the character this credit is being applied to and not remove them then... I only have two PFS characters that worship evil gods and Maaldrek is one of them! so the 'dark side of the force' / shadow corruption will fit the character quite nicely! :)

My computer hasn’t been working for the last several days. Taking it in today to see if they can fix it. Let’s see if I can download the module on my phone to try and get an update in the mean time.
Excited and ready here!
...and would you look at that? we just stumbled on a room that has a river running through it..
<_<

@GM: did we go up to level 9 at the end of Part 1?
Nope, no level up. You guys level up after you secure Aiyana's estate.
GM Mauve had me create a character at level 8. That suggests you are not yet leveling up. Or maybe I level up too. :)
Thanks GM Mauve! (takes a while to level up this guy and his phantom... happy it doesn't have to be this weekend TBH... lol)
@Nyx: Leon and I could probably use barkskin... Alek and Siiska are probably fine. On average, Leon will need it more than Akku as he's up front more often.
@GM: when do you think you'll have the chronicles ready?
Leon's pre-buff AC is not amazing, so a Barkskin would definitely be good if he can get it.
@GM Mauve: we haven't heard from you in a week. Everything ok? please let us know if you are waiting for one of us to post actions/decisions. Thanks!
I'll wait until after the weekend before talking to Tyranius, our big PbP boss in the sky, in the event that GM Mauve had to drop due to unforeseen circumstances.
I thought he posted about computer problems?
Mind showing me where with a link? it's unusual to not hear back from a GM for a week or more in PbP...
Nope i imagined that. Very unlike them
I'm sorry for keep disappearing. Been suffering a bit from burn out, depression, and anxiety. Things are getting better and I'll be better about posting.
My computer did die about a week ago and just got a new one yesterday, so that was also part of the problem. I'll push out an update in about an hour.
