Myev had no such intentions with her hits, so >_>

Hey there folks! I started up a new job today; much better pay and much better benefits. Only issue is training is on-site which means that I have to wake up earlier and will get home much later.
With that in mind, I will be slow and may need to be botted. Just a heads up, I'll try to keep up as best as I can. Training is 2-3 weeks then I'll be home.
This is a copypasta so if you see this a bunch, just congratulate me more. Thank you :P

Myev Hellmark |

Finally updated Myev. Now has 20hp, gained action surge.

Sorry for the absence. I've spent the last few days dealing with doctors, insurance companies, billing depts etc in preparation for my son having knee surgery for a torn meniscus next week.
Will try to get a few posts in but may be a bit here and there for the next week.

I hope things settle down soon and that the surgery goes well!

Myev being described as "burly" brings me more joy than I can possibly articulate, hahaha. She's my big, beautiful, beefy queen.

I'm about to get a big freaking tattoo on my arm and may be slow for the next couple of days while it heals. But knowing me and how much I love play-by-post stuff, I probably won't slow down that much. I am kind of addicted to this stuff. This is copypasta, a few of you are in my other games and might see this again.

Baheera al-Sah'haar |

Everybody sorry about the absence. My son's knee surgery was a huge success and he's recovering nicely, I should be getting back into the swing of things this week so will be reading through and catching up

I guess I'm not sure what to do next. GM, sounds like our options are:
* Finish up some section of the third level we've missed. (I assume this is different from the chapel behind the lightning trap.)
* Head down the ramp into the crypts and eventually the rest of the undercity.
* Just rest and recover until the meeting between the three factions.
Am I missing anything? Anyone have a preference?
Clearly Tek can just hang out and BS all night long, but not sure how productive that will be. :)

Myev Hellmark |

I'm pretty open to whatever - rest and recovery until the meeting could be good just in case whatever happens at the meeting can inform our next step or give us more information about the crypts/undercity.

Those are pretty much the options I see.
Yes, there are sections of the third level that you have not seen besides the chapel behind the lightning trap.
If you want to rest and move onto the meeting, that's fine too. Just let me know what you'd like to do.

Utsuri 映り |

Yeah more than fine moving on for scene change, quick jump to negotiation shenanigans gets my vote.
I feel like we don't really have much purpose for exploring everything, other than for fun/curiosity (don't get me wrong I love dungeon crawling and am totally down for that). The plot seems to be uniting these weirdos against Zargon.

Myev Hellmark |

I'm down to check out the shrine and stuff if we'd like to be completionists about this level -- otherwise, I'm ready to jump into the burial level!

Myev Hellmark |

I would prefer to go the burial route, too, honestly...and with you, me, and Utsuri being the most active... ;)

DM Talomyr - The Lost City |

Okay real question here folks.
Does everyone still wish to continue with this game? We have three regular posters and two that we have not seen in a week and half plus.
I fully recognize differing levels of engagement, particularly in a dungeon crawl based pbp game. I'm just making sure that there is still interest in continuing. I am perfectly happy to continue on, and this is my preference. I just want to make sure the rest of you felt that way.

Myev Hellmark |

I'm down to continue. I enjoy playing with all of you - you're all excellent writers. Perhaps we can see about recruiting one or two folks to fill some spots so it's not just me, Tek, and Utsuri? I'm not sure how that would play out or if that's something you're wanting to do, but I'm interested in seeing where the story goes and I like you as a DM.

Myev Hellmark |

That being said, if it's just us three, we can lean into that. I am invested.

DM Talomyr - The Lost City |

"Curious place for apes to reside, but at least they seem to live, breath, and I hope, bleed."
That is one of the drawbacks of some of these old 80's modules, the creature placement doesn't always make the most sense.

Utsuri 映り |

I'm also down to continue, enjoying the characters and module.
On the not making sense, that's actually why I enjoy older modules. This one seems a bit more tame, but some of them are just pure zany randomness in every room (thinking White Plume Mountain, Shrine of Tamoachan, Castle Amber). Somehow the characters and DM build a story out of that seeming chaos/absurdity...or laugh their asses off at least. XD

Utsuri 映り |

Also stuff like:
Each time a creature ends its turn in this chamber, the creature must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned for 5,000 years.
XD

Myev Hellmark |

5,000 years of poison is...intense. Rofl

Utsuri 映り |

Part of the poison details were that you were also unconscious for the same duration and did not age/need food etc. So in theory the entire party could get zonked, wake up 5000 years later. Not derailing to a campaign in the slightest.

Myev Hellmark |

Dude, Myev and one of my Pathfinder 2e character's can't do anything with rolls. *flips a table*

DM Talomyr - The Lost City |

Myev takes a deep breath, trying to employ Utsuri's teachings from before to center herself before swinging at the badly hurt ape in front of her.
<CRAPTACULAR ROLL DELETED>
i long for the sweet release of death
Seriously...
What in the hell did you do the RNG to make it hate poor Myev so much?

Myev Hellmark |

Man, I do not know, but I'm ready for a little bit of mercy. Who or what do I need to sacrifice for a little bit of luck? rofl.
At this point, it's just kind of hilarious.

Sorry folks, a post work event (and a few too many bourbon drinks) had me out later than usual this evening. I'll update the game tomorrow.

I will be traveling starting the 19th and return home on the 24th. Unfortunately, this adventure is something I only have in hard cover, so I'm not too likely to update the thread again until then. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Myev Hellmark |

No worries! I hope you enjoy your trip :)

Myev Hellmark |

I spent all day running errands and my spouse is getting feisty that I'm still on the computer, so I will post later tonight.

Utsuri 映り |

I'll have to dig the thread to see if I've used my aasimar heal today...I have not been tracking it well enough.
edit: Ok, it was right after the snake fight when Utsuri threw the pot (RL October). Was that today, have we long rested since then?

You have long rested since then.

Good news and bad news. Good news - That would have hit. Bad news - nothing left to hit. Please feel free to take a different action.
I spend all day telling children to read the directions over and over, and then I, a fool, do this.
Sorry for that. *facepalm*

We'll call it "glitch" caused by the boards being down with the Paizo site being crushed yesterday after the ORC License announcement. :)
