I *believe* New Beginnings was a few hours away from the unicorn glade, was it not?
Yes the trip would take at least 3 hours at a brisk walk. If you wanted to run all the way we would need to work on some Con checks and likely healing. If you run the whole way, then you can make it in time to see the revival of the unicorn.
Jean could make it there on his own flying for about a half hour at the quickest pace.
A character can run for a number of rounds equal to his Constitution score on the local scale without needing to rest. See Combat for rules covering extended periods of running.
Running and resting equates out to hustling.
Hustle
A character can hustle for 1 hour without a problem. Hustling for a second hour in between sleep cycles deals 1 point of nonlethal damage, and each additional hour deals twice the damage taken during the previous hour of hustling. A character who takes any nonlethal damage from hustling becomes fatigued.
A fatigued character can’t run or charge and takes a penalty of –2 to Strength and Dexterity. Eliminating the nonlethal damage also eliminates the fatigue.

Well, sh!t. Zaidel won't make others run to their detriment, so I guess we miss the blessed event. It must not have been for our eyes anyway, especially people who waited around until noon to start the day.
It sounded like those who went back to New Beginnings had plans, I am still waiting for those plans.
THE plan was to go back to New Beginnings in hope of finding some winter gear because hunting the Banshee of the North was going to be cold, according to our new huntress, THEN make the trip back to unicorn's body and rejoin with Jade so the group can go further north fight the bad guy, get the horn and hopefully save the unicorn.
And I'd like to think we would have left before noon, unless we were waiting for word of our errant sorcerer and warden.
I needed gear in a desperate attempt to die. Alas, it was not to be. I'm happy to have left at 9am or earlier to be there, though, or to make some con checks.
This is why I was asking what your plans were because someone told to meet back at the unicorn after two or three days. This was also why I was making spoilers so that it didn't apply pressure that should not be there but someone didn't care so I just posted as they did.
So lets say you take some extra time in town before heading back. Leaving at about 8:00 maybe up to 9:00 am. Walking to the Fletcher's house takes about 2 hours, then about another 2 to the unicorn. So as soon as you got the ping, then you rush/hustle/run and can get to the unicorn before it gets ressurected.
Am awaiting the unicorn's reply to Davin.

I want to respond to the unicorn, but I feel Davin should have the first say. A druid cohort would be awesome for a primal sorcerer!

Thank you for waiting. Replying now.
I got this message from Wolf, and I gotta admit, I have no idea what the problem is:
Hey Davin/MonkeyGod,
We gave it a valiant effort but I am done trying. You may make a grand or graceful exit. I don't like how I feel when coming to this game. There has been added stress and turbulence because of you. I am just done.
Best of luck to you,
Wolf
Apparently, I screwed up by not putting my last post inside spoilers, thus I guess ruining everything? I was just looking to roleplay the scene. Zaidel asked Davin to his and Mia's room to privately examine her, and when he did, saw she was further cursed. So he asked what had happened to her, and I guess that was taboo or some big secret?
I swear to the gods that I was wasn't trying to mess with Mia/Wolf or Zaidel. I honestly didn't know what I said in game was apparently problematic. I wasn't trying to pick a fight, or get rid of Mia as a character or anything like that. Aside from wanting to know of the danger to the group, I had some ways to possibly help her.
I'm sorry that I've apparently caused stress and turbulence. I've actually be really into this game the last few days, and have been checking the boards all day to see what the responses might be. I was excited to try and help Mia out.
If this is indeed the end, I have an exit post I'll make, and then I'll leave the game.
Every time I have started with a spoiler to you, you have disregarded it and just posted in public.
Make your post and please exit.

That's your issue? I'm sorry, but honestly I didn't realize those were meant to actually be secretive or anything. I wasn't blatantly disregarding your spoilers to be a jerk or to mess with you or your game. I just didn't even think what I was doing was wrong. There was zero ill will there, I promise. In this recent scene, your spoilers were only the Arcana checks, but literally every GM I've ever played under posts skill check results under spoilers(and I do as well, when I run.) I've never been under the impression they were supposed to be a secret/replied to via spoiler, and no other GM has ever said anything to me, or other players who have done the same, for that matter.
Why didn't you say something? That's such an easy fix, *especially* because I didn't realize it was a problem. A simple "Hey Davin, mind replying to spoiled posts with a spoiler", similar to how you asked me to re-write my skills, and I would have done so right away.
Like I said earlier I am done with dealing with you, I don't need a toxic player. I don't want to read your posts for I feel like there is doubletalk or the hidden slap in my face.
Sorry folks, I have realized that I wasn't speaking up for myself. For that matter analyzing what was eating at me. I am sorry for another hiccup and foul taste in our mouths. Just another of the many reasons Davin should go.
Whoa, you're calling me a toxic player? Nah fam. This ain't it.
I have zero problems leaving your game, we don't mesh, it happens. But I have been on an active player on these boards since 2011, and I have never once been called a 'toxic player.'
This is a game, about having magic powers, big muscles, sweet abilities, etc. Why in the heck would I 'doubletalk' you? To what ends? What could I possibly gain by that?
The only reason I posted here about your PM is that I didn't want my fellow players to think I ghosted on them. I have probably been in close to 50 games (at least!) here on Paizo, and I can count on one hand with fingers to spare the number of games I ghosted on. As I said while back, I tend to be super loyal to my games, there till the bitter end. Heck, I've even helped convince both players, and GMs to stick around when they wanted to quit. I've made a bunch of friends through my games here, including several that I have become friends with on Facebook. Would a toxic player do that?
I honestly had zero malicious intent with any of my posts or actions. I don't know how to convince you otherwise. We may have had a bit of an issue with the whole adult RP, but I personally felt we resolved it like adults, and I've swept it aside. I don't have any issues with you as GM nor with Zaidel as a player or character. Or anybody else for that matter. Since we talked it out, I've been having a lot of fun playing. I was looking forward to New Faces, a possible race change, new quests, and getting to know Alia and helping her out. You've created a pretty cool world, and I was excited to really start exploring it.
Anyways, thank you for the game, even if it didn't end well. I truly did enjoy myself for the most part. Be well in whatever games you run and/or play.
Monkeygod.

GM Wolf:
I find that people in general are doing their best with real life and with games too and sometimes folks forget to update or do things. The rules are guidelines and not meant to reduce your players fun time nor use as tools to remove them from that time. This understanding between GMs and players is important and the balance between rules and fun is important, but not to the amount that is happening here in this game.
I have the highest respect for Monkey and for other players here. If you are asking him to go and he does go, then I go with him.
I wont stand by while I myself am frustrated and watch another player reduced by careless rule mongering. Anyone can look at a spoiler. They do nothing. You want something private message it to a player. Get over yourself and remember why you and all of us are really here. To have fun.
Later she would gather the group and ask to use Roland's basement for a bit. Downstairs with the barrels of all sorts of liquids, she would take a deep breath before opening with, "I am disgraced lady EllataMia Thornrose of Khorvian. I am cursed for standing against the edicts of my country and freeing slaves. Let alone smuggling them away. Necrotic creatures such as undead will be drawn to me. This curse is placed upon the infant within a year of their birth. I am from a long line of necromancers. The curse is a blessing to most of them, gathering creatures of the night to them that much easier. It will likely bring more danger to the group. For this reason I will be leaving before sunup, so that creatures will not be drawn to New Beginnings. Zaidel will be going with me and we will travel for New Faces. If you want to follow us later that is your choice. I can't ask that any of you stay with me, though I appreciate any of you willing to protect me."
This is a good bit of RP! Here Mia reveals her privileged upbringing in the manner of which she speaks. It's very believable that despite her years of living on the streets, she's still a princess at heart. Very well done!

Please don't exclude Davin from the group, Wolf. The sorcerer was just asking a question.
No, I was about to just close the game because I was not feeling 'good' if not 'bad'. It took me a long time to realize it. And I don't need to be feeling that way. So if you all need to go I understand. As I have said before this is my opinion and I am relaying how I am feeling. Is it fair to me or you if I turn into a bitter DM? No.
Zaidel unfortunately this isn't about just the spoilers. If it was just about the spoilers we could have worked it out. I think it is interesting that everyone thinks it is about rules. This about how I am feeling. I am voicing how I feel, my opinion, and apparently that doesn't hold much weight. Unless it does hold weight.
I appreciate Zaidel and Niversal for bringing up your opinions.
Heck I was enjoying the new side of Davin and how much he was working with the group. But I have to listen to my feelings. I typically shore them up really good and keep it locked down; a lot of the times to my detriment. Boiling it down to every time I read one of Davin's posts it makes me upset to say the least in some way.
Wolf, if you are not enjoying the game, it becomes a chore to do and loses all it's fun. Then resentment sets in. I will hate it, because I've enjoyed your campaigns in the past, but if you want to end the campaign, end it. I've love both version of Arcanium I've played in!! And I hope we can all play again in the future.
Zaidel unfortunately this isn't about just the spoilers. If it was just about the spoilers we could have worked it out. I think it is interesting that everyone thinks it is about rules.
That's because you've said it was about spoilers twice. When I asked what I did wrong, this was your reply:
Every time I have started with a spoiler to you, you have disregarded it and just posted in public.
That makes it sound like my 'posting in public' was your issue with me.
This is further backed up by this comment in game:
I am so glad this conversation is happening in spoilers. Oh that's right Davin once again thought it would be a great thing to just air this all out in the open...
Confusing things even more is that you've apparently liked the 'new Davin'. However, you've not been overly forthcoming with what I've done to upset you, other than to call me a 'toxic player' and I'm somehow engaging in 'doubletalk'.
I'm 40 years old, and I have been playing some form of RPGs or another since at least 1995, aka well over half my life. In that time, I have dealt with players who turned out to be rapists, pedophiles, abusers(both sexually and otherwise), actual Nazis, racists, manipulators, and other people who deliberately, and willfully go out of their way to ruin peoples' fun and gaming. In other words, toxic players.
So when you call me a 'toxic player', you are lumping me in with rapists, pedophiles, and Nazis.
Again, I'm not sure what I've actually done to upset you, but if I truly have, I'm asking you to please be honest with me and let me know exactly what I have done wrong. I would like to try and possibly correct that behavior, but I can't if you won't tell me what the problem is.
Apparently my definition of 'toxic player' and yours are different that on a scale of 1 to 10. Mine would be a 3 and yours is a 10. Sure it could have been the wrong word/name/label, it is just what came out. No I would not be lumping you in with them, but that is your own words.
Honestly how I feel apparently has no weight. I don't know how to deal with such a player that feel like it is fine to make others feel like garbage. Then again just my opinion.
Davin I am done with you and I don't see any way that I would play with you again. I can't help it how I feel when interacting with you. This is likely one of the few times that a player has made me feel this way. It didn't last very long with them either.
Honestly how I feel apparently has no weight. I don't know how to deal with such a player that feel like it is fine to make others feel like garbage. Then again just my opinion.
Dude, no. How you feel very much matters. Do you honestly think if it didn't matter, if I did not care how you felt, that I would write up 4(Now 5, counting this one) posts trying to figure out how I've 'made you feel like garbage' ?
I guess I just don't understand. I have ADHD, and Asperger's Syndrome(which is on the Autism spectrum), which means that sometimes(*Especially* in a text format) I don't get other people's social cues. Meaning people need to outright say things to me.
I once had a guy from Ohio threaten to come to my house(many states away) to shoot me in front of my mother and grandmother because he didn't like my pro-choice stance on abortion. I promise you that whatever you say to me what be worse than that, nor will you hurt my feelings.
Stop! Stop. The campaign is already DEAD!!

I think next time I get isekai'd I'm gonna be a wizard or eldritch godling; probably still worshiping Cayden Cailean. My one special ability would be to have twice as many spell slots. Probably wish to be a half-celestial or sublime creature.
Just posting out loud. Hope everyone's having an awesome day.
So!
We
Will
I don't want to have to keep scrolling through all that so I shall begin sp@mming!
Rock Party!!!
Rock
YES!!! OH YES!!!
You!
Pulverize the Eiffel Tower!
Don't want to be an american idiot.
Were not the one's meant to follow!
Changing over to Evanescence, 13 more posts to go...

I saw a meme the other day about a non binary Bard:
"What's your sex"
NB Bard: "Usually wild and loud."
"No, what's in your pants."
NB Bard: "Bongo drums."
I totally thought of Zaidel, lololol
Will pigs fly?
Will pigs fly?
With enough fleshcrafting, anything is possible!

:(
So anyone going to respond to Mia's statement about her new situation? Otherwise somehow you are all spellbound by her words? LOL!
Jon! Niversal!
What are your thoughts on a group name? Jean has voted for The Avengers. Zaidel voted for Bronzeflight. If you have a different suggestion, please post it for consideration. No vote is 'carved in stone'.
or ' Zaidel enphasizes this by giving the group the 'devil horns' hand gesture.
In honor of our every busy warder.
"We could also take established names from Earth and use those. These are not limited to.."
"Among many others. Any thoughts?"
My standard suggestion would be 'Aeria Gloris'.
Of the other suggestions, Bronzeflight seems best.

** spoiler omitted **
When I saw this this morning, I thought you were asking about joining an Avengers/superhero game, lol
Also, Davin gets to go to Neverland? I *love* Peter Pan, and the Faeries!
What does 'Aeria Gloris' stand for? Glory of the sky?
I am always a fan of the darker names:
Twilight
Eclipse
Darkness
The Black Blades
Heavenly Glory, yeah.
Well, with a 50% vote, our adventuring party name is Aeria Gloris. That should make the NPCs happy.
