It looks like I need to level this character up, but I should be able to get around to that this weekend. I just wanted to give you a heads up, because I still have his level 1 stats and equipment in his profile right now.
Ok, no problem, thanks for the heads up.
Heads up: I'm having some health issues these days and can't assure my presence at the desktop, so I may post hopefully later, but more probably tomorrow. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Guys, I'm very sorry, but I need a couple of days to get better. I caught a very bad cold, my head feels just like two balloons [cit.], I need some time to recovery. I'll try to write something Friday or Saturday, ok? Meanwhile I will get tested for COVID, hoping everything will be fine.
Hey y'all, sorry for the prolonged silence. I still feel very shitty, I don't really have the strength to put into PbP. I'm sorry, but for now I have to pause all my games on the forum. Tomorrow I'll finally get tested for COVID and I'll know what to do for this illness. Thank you for your understanding.
Hi y'all, I'm feeling slightly better, and should be able to resume my duties as PC and GM toward the end of the week, I hope. Sorry again for all the troubles I've caused you, and thank you for your understanding.
Hi y'all, I should be able to return to the tables after this weekend. I hope you won't mind having me with you again, I know I've been sick for a very long time (I still don't feel completely fine, hopefully next week will be better). In any case I'll try to post on Monday, have a nice weekend y'all!
Unfortunately, I understand that GM Diaz is still dealing with health issues. I will be taking over the GM duties for this table and, unless GM Diaz is able to return before then, seeing this quest to completion.
For me to assume GM duties, my PC Moe will have to drop out.
I realize that time has passed and that the last post in Gameplay was awaiting on the player for Araal, who does not appear to have posted on the boards for sometime.
So, before I take over, I want to first determine 1) how many players are interested in continuing and 2) how many active players we still have.
If you are interested and wish to keep playing, please post. Likewise, if you would rather drop and take no chronicle sheet for this quest (allowing you to play it again in the future), please post here as well.
Thanks.
Thus far, only two voting to continue on. While we could continue on with pregens, we may be better off scrapping the table and doing a new recruitment for the quest in the future.
I have PM'd all of the players and gotten one response to fold. If I don't hear from the other players by the end of the week, then I think that's it.

I did vote to scrap the table, as we're pretty early into it; my character is also at the bottom of a pit and has very slim odds of climbing out, even with a rope; so I would most likely be spending my turns failing Climb checks. I believe that I need two to get out and even with the rope Maddox is much more likely to fail than succeed. That being said, if we have the minimum number of players wanting to remain, I don't want to be the one to stop us from finishing it out.
Based on the above, we have only three players this far. I have not heard from the other two. Unless another chimes in, we are at three PCs and a pregen, if we continue.
With three, we have the minimum number of players. Am I correct that the three of you wish to continue?
Yes.
Okay. Sorry, it has been a busy week. Please go ahead and choose a pregen and I expect to be able to move us along within about 24 hours thereafter.
What are the classes of the players left? Psychic (basically the mage) here. What else?
The three continuing players would be psychic, fighter, and sorceror.
Then it looks like either a cleric or a rogue pregen would be useful to us. Perhaps a bard to get some of both.
Do we have a consensus?

The biggest thing we're missing is someone willing to go into melee. I would suggest the barbarian, or even better the warpriest pregen. The rogue is not actually going to be super helpful...if we don't help flank with her, she's going to do very little damage. The cleric would also be good, she is pretty versatile and solid.
Alright then! Let's bring this quest to a close!
Hello everyone.
I'm writing this post to apologize with you all about my behavior. I've been badly ill, then depression kicked in, and left you all by yourselves because I couldn't find the guts to face you and tell you that this adventure was over. I failed you, and for that I hate myself.
Today I've found some courage to write these few words to let you know that I'm alive, although not well. Depression is devouring me from the inside, and aside from that I'll most probably undergo surgery this Autumn because of my nose-related problems.
I don't feel I'm strong enough yet to don the mantle of GM once again, but I'm trying to get back into the hobby to try and fight against my mental illness. I'm going to see also some experts, see if maybe changing my meds will help, I don't know.
Again, I'm sorry for what I have done to you, how I treated you. I don't ask for your forgiveness, I don't deserve it, I just wanted to close this failed attempt at GMing and let you know that.
I hope you all will find better people then me to have fun with in the world of TTRPGs.
@GM Diaz - Thank you for touching base with us, it is really appreciated and good to know you are still with us. I am sorry to hear about the challenges you are dealing with, but glad to see you are seeking out expert help. Being strong in a fight doesn't mean going at it alone.
That's why Pathfinders adventure in parties.
Speaking of which, don't worry about your tables. They are in good hands. I have found this community to be a helpful and caring one. I have been helped out by this community more than once and I am happy to help out where I can with this table and I understand others have done the same with the other tables. I think we all realize that real life concerns have to come first. Take the time you need and we look forward to you joining us when you are once again able, on either side of the table.
Please know that I, personally, take no offense at you stepping away from the table. Please don't be too hard on yourself. You are dealing with enough as it is. Don't add this to it. To the extent that you feel forgiveness is needed, you have it from me.

Please don't be hard on yourself! No one here is angry or disappointed that you left and I think most people in this community would be understanding. Roleplaying attracts outsiders, so there are lots of people here who grapple with mental illness. And lots of people with disabilities or neurological diversity, too! And it can be a tough world besides, one accident or bad day can completely upend our lives. When somebody disappears I always wonder if they are okay; I don't judge them for being unreliable or letting us down!
Please don't blame yourself! If we're the ones that you let down; and none of us are mad at you than there's no reason to beat yourself up over it.
I'm glad to hear that you're alive and getting help! Depression sucks. The only thing I could say as encouragement is that as bad as you feel right now; there were probably times in your life when you didn't feel this way and you can be that person again. I hope that things get better for you soon!
For this quest, Paizo has noted: "Quests give no Prestige Points, no gold, and no XP. They're just extra encounters that provide a boon for PCs who go through them."
Due to the nature of this quest, it is not reportable, so you have only the chronicle sheet to show you have played.
Chronicle sheets can be found here.
Please let me know if I made an error on your chronicle sheet. As I did not created this campaign, I cannot mark it inactive.
Thanks for sticking through it. Happy gaming!
A player can hide a campaign. To do this, go into the listing of all the campaigns and find the gameplay thread for a campaign and click on the circle with a line through it next to that campaign to hide it.
Right under the black header on this page it say Community/Forums/Online Campaigns. Click on the Online Campaigns part of that.
You'll see a list of subforums. Click on the one that says 'play by post.'
Now find the campaign you want to hide. It's easiest to note when the last post in that campaign in gameplay was made, since that's how they're sorted. On the far right of the screen there are a bunch of circles with lines through them. Find the one for the campaign you are trying to hide and click on it.
