@Junior: I was thinking if you were going to be gone for a little while, you had an excuse to stay out of the fight. I'm glad Junior is coming along after all!

No worries. I think it was a good little moment between our characters anyway.

Busy time, will try and update the combat today or tomorrow sorry.

There's going to be about a day's travel before your next stop so you'll get one more rest in before the next set-piece.

I'll post an update in game on Saturday (AU time, so Friday US)

Just want to apologise for the delay, life has gotten a bit crazy and I haven't had a chance to sit at my computer to put together the next encounter.

No worries. I've been wanting to push some RP but I haven't had the energy lately.

I've been idly planning Benedic's future advancement rather than RPing, which has occupied an embarrassing amount of my gaming time. *blush*

Would you all like me to leave some prompts to assist you with RP posts?

If you go to the trouble, I will certainly respond! Thanks DM!

I f you build it; they will come.

I'll respond to whatever posts are put up, whether for RP or to advance the plot, but I will say that at the speed we're currently progressing it seems like maybe we players should try to prompt RP from each other a little bit more so that when the GM has time to post he can focus on moving things forward?

I'm with you Greta. Please focus on moving things along whether that be plot points or encounters. My comment was just saying I'm here and reading I just don't have the mental capacity to get inside the heads of my character(s).

ugh Paizo ate my RP post yesterday... I'll try and reconstruct it after lunch this afternoon...

Damn swarmbane clasp is outside of 1 day crafting time.

Even in Daylight Savings Time?

Especially in daylight savings time

So I assume that Anelia needs to use the distraction bard song to effectively draw out the vescavores? And that Junior won't be able to do it with rage song. That would give the party 7 rounds of distraction. Can eagles splendor make that 9 rounds? If so someone should cast it on her, if possible.

I want to snag the summon monster V scroll and have Junior cast it to summon a bralani azata who will then cast wind wall to protect Amelia from the swarms if needed. Junior will also stand by with her and all of our holy water to fight off the swarms. He will cast defending bone from spell kenning to hopefully be mostly immune to swarm damage.

Nurah is also a bard and could potentially add her rounds of Bardic music as well. But would probably need to be convinced with a Diplomacy check.

Sorry for my absence, but posting is nearly impossible for me now. I'm in intensive care at the Surgical Trauma Intensive Care Unit at Wake Med. Got an infection in my leg that turned into necrotizing fasciitis, or something like that. They've had to remove several pounds of skin and such, making my leg look like something from a horror show.

I will be back and would love to continue this game if possible, but will likely offline for an unknown period, possible 4-6 weeks.

Gah! Thanks for letting us know, AGM Lemming! What a horrible thing to happen to you! I'm glad to hear that you will recover and (eventually) be back. I hope your time in the ICU isn't too traumatic. I wish there was something we could do for you in the meantime.

Dang, take care of yourself - I hope the recovery process goes well for you!

Damn. Yeah take care of yourself we'll be here when you're ready.

Get well! Healing does take time.

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope your recovery is swift. We'll make sure your spot stays warm, and we'll keep you alive in the background until you're ready to jump in regularly.

Hey, I want to apologise for my delayed posting recently. I injured my back, and I've been unable to focus on writing much.
I'm on the road to recovery, but I'm just going to be a bit delayed and unreliable for a little.

I am committed to finishing this book out for you all.

:(

I wish you a good recovery.

Totally can relate to injuries....wish you a speedy recovery!

Take as much time as you need! Sorry to hear you got hurt, and I hope the pain and aggravation isn't too bad.

backs can be tricky things, hope it does better for you!

Get better! I have an old back injury, so I feel your pain (literally sometimes).

Alright, I'm back. New post coming this weekend. Can I get a roll-call to make sure everybody is still here and active?

Present

We're getting presents!?

aye aye!

Welcome back!

Alive....

I'll say that Greta had surgery last week and is likely convalescing from that. They are still around but probably won't be all that responsive until next week.

We're getting presents!?

Yep, you get a pumapard.

Junior is completely right about me (thanks for passing that on). I'm still kind of out of it from pain meds and erratic sleep, but recovery's going well and i'm working on getting back into posting.

Take your time, I know I certainly did.

Yay, combat!

2 quick questions that will affect my surprise round. Do/can I have my scale buff running when we get here? It lasts 19 minutes (iirc) so I would have activated it before entering the hive, since the plan was to get in and out as fast as possible. And, can we tell whether these are the kind of swarms that take 1/2 damage from weapons or the kind that take no damage from them?

Gonna take a guess that if we can hit those know checks we'll be able to tell.

You have 13 minutes remaining.

We've all gone, right? I think we're just waiting on Dudemeister?

Yes, sorry it's been busy. Every time I go to post life gets in the way. (Also I a little bit blame new Zelda for distracting me).

No worries, DM! I too have been distracted by other gaming stuff. :)

New edition of warhammer 40k has been eating my time

We just got a brand new deck of UNO!

Hey everyone, I’m really sorry for falling silent without any notice!

Last week I returned to normal/full-time work and it’s proved a bit more challenging than expected. I continue to recover well, but after being on the computer a lot at work (and all the little ways you use your shoulder throughout the day without really even thinking about it when you're not laid up at home recovering), I haven't been up to getting back on it afterwards to post. I’m getting to the point where I should be able to post during breaks and after work with some regularity again soon. And, I’m actually off tomorrow, so I’ll catch up on reading posts and get a post up in gameplay then.

Thank you for your patience and understanding!
