I barely have time to sleep! And now you want me to take muffins to a swamp hag?! Bah! I'd rather live with the curse.

XD
Quick clarification: blue-bordered statues are on our side and red ones are enemies, right?
Thanx!
De nada!
Thanks Moon!

Hello all.
I've been debating with myself over this for a few days now but I have to make the a decision.
On top of my immediate family getting hit with the sickies, we found out some news that has scrambled mine and my wife's priorities drastically.
The short of it is that her paternal grandparents are in need of far more help than they had been letting on and we are the only family who can/will help.
I tried several times to hop on and make another post but I just lack the mental energy to put anything together. This group (and others) has been some of the best Pathfinder I've played in years. And not just PbP.
I wish you all the best, if were in contact via other means, feel free to shoot me a message. I may even pop into a discord for a bit here and there.
I give the GM full permission to handle my PC however they see fit.
Hopefully, when things settle down, I can reconnect with everyone.
First, it has been a joy playing with you again, and I will miss having you and Casina here. I'll be GMPCing her through the rest of the adventure. We're about half way through exploring the Crypt, so I think I can handle that. After that, she'll be waiting for your return back at Kassen, whenever that might be.
Second, I've said it elsewhere, but I'll say it here, I hope you will take care of yourself. I know that this is going to be hard because I've seen how it wore on my mother, sister, and aunt to take care of their mother, my and my sister's nana, before they had to put her into assisted living. I would have helped, but when you're told that you can't because you're a guy, well...
I'll be praying for you and yours. I know we're friends on Discord, so if you ever need to reach out and talk to someone or vent, I'm available. I'm always willing to lead an ear and offer what I can.

Real sorry to hear that, Chapel. We're going through something similar with my Father-in-Law, so I fully understand your decision.
I can only echo Adam in saying it's been a pleasure gaming with you and that I hope you and your family bounces back swiftly.
All the best.
Best of luck, Chapel. Your world will be topsy-turvy for awhile and I hope you find the balance point soon.
Yes, I've had a great time RPing with Casina. Hope things settle down in your family soonish to give you some breathing room.
Be well, Chapel!
I just realized there is a much better way to have run this encounter. I should have only had the Zombie Lord out and he could use an action to raise a minion that acts on his turn. Make this room more of a maze with a few long corridors like what I have and this would have been a much more interesting encounter.
Oh well, I'll file that away for next time.
GMing is a constant learning process. I'm not being facetious.
Question! I'm assuming we don't know this guy is a zombie, right? All we know for certain is he has a keen fashion sense with a mask and stylin' robe and it seems incredibly likely he is undead. Correct?
Yup. That's pretty much it.
Moon nods at Grob's observation and leans against the defaced statue for support. She offers the goblin a weary smile. "That was very brave, Meep. You have a future as a hero."
I think that makes Meep the Hulk!
:D
You know it!
Well, Betz does know how to cast enlarge person…so now we just need Meep to multiclass into barbarian
Loot sheet has been updated. :)
Wouldn't enlarge person just make Meep medium size? :P
From 2 and half feet to five foot nothing. :P
She's due for a pubescent growth spurt any time now. Then look out!
She'll be knocking them dead. :P
Answering Betz's question here to keep from cluttering up the game thread.
There are rumors that Razmir did not in fact pass the test of the Starstone, but it's also entirely possible that the transition to undeath crossed some wires in his mind and he is denouncing his god.
But to be honest, I wanted him to say something along those lines and may have gone overboard. There are some other reasons for that, but I want to play those close to the chest for the moment.
I'm traveling through Monday, so I may be slow to post or absent.
Duly noted. Hope you have a safe trip.
Seems like we're moving on. I'll get the map updated.
While I'm here, though, here's some of the effects that are in this room.
- The water restores a character to full HP once per day.
- The fruit in the trees (I didn't mention them because I thought someone would take a closer look when I described the room) acts like a goodberry.
- Anyone who sleeps here benefits from a lesser restoration once per week.
- When the doors are closed with people friendly to Kassen inside the room, a sanctuary effect takes hold. Basically, the undead can't get through.
Posting this here as much for my reference as for your information. Your GM can be a bit forgetful.
Dammit Grob! Have a free Hero Point for make me cackle like I haven't in a while.

Thanks ;)
Okay, so the plan seems to be Grob goes in and casts Entangle on the skeletons while Betz enlarges Moon and Casina so they hit harder. They charge Asar and try to put him down quickly. Meanwhile, Maidie is going to use her new wand and her pearl to do what she can.
Is that about the gist of the plan?
I’d like for the enlarge spells to be cast before we go in (remember, casting time is a round, not a standard action).
Other than that, pretty much. Maidie and Betz can both lay down grease for extra control.
If we have more spellcasters, remember that readied ranged attacks are a great way to force a concentration check.
You mentioned Asar is a 'wraith'... do you mean that he is incorporeal? Because that changes the game substantially. Normal weapons become useless. Magic weapons do half damage.
We might be better off letting the minions come to us... jump them after they come through the door (which we shut), finish them quickly, and then go after Asar together.
Casina should definitely Smite the BBEG.
Apologies, he's a skeletal champion. I guess I waxed a little too poetic there.
Casina is definitely going to smite Asar.
A closer reading of the entangle spell seems to indicate that affects existing plants and doesn't create them. Sorry Grob. Blame Maidie for bringing it up.
So course of action seems to be:
1. Enlarge Moon and Casina.
2. Grease the mooks
3. target Asar.
Yes on the prebuffs. Once we go through the doors, Maidie will use her spells as the tactical situation dictates. Grease is a high probability, but let's see how things shape out.
Definitly target Asar, but the enlarged undead-slaying duo should have that pretty well covered.
No worries. It had gotten through some stonework before but that WAS still outside. Forget Grob said anything ;o
It's alright. I honestly thought you could use it here, but turns out that is not the case.
Meep's got a good question there: what DOES she do in this fight? You know, aside from not die?
She throws the one ring into the volcan.. oh wait. Wrong plot line. Darned if I know!
If we've got some more healing pots, I say let Meep play medic.
Casina and I should work to flank the BBEG, I have a feeling we are going to need every bonus we can get.
Healing potions for Meep
Grobradon: 1
Maidie: 1
I'll keep the healing pot I have on me.
Grob has one potion left for himself, one he gave to Moon earlier (And is now gone) and one he gave to meep.
Casina will give Meep 2 of her remaining potions. which brings Meep up to four CLW potions.
Y'all have the drop on them. Go ahead and post your surprise round and your first round of actions once everyone's ready with buffs and spells.
Welp, I just realized I made a mistake. Yellow was actually one of Asar's lieutenants, and Moon's strike wouldn't have been enough to kill it even if it had hit.
However, rather than retcon that, I'm just going to let it stand as is and reserve the right to throw in some extra mooks as the battle continues. Any objections?
No problem with me.
No post today. Tired and I was hoping to give Betz a little longer. I'll move on tomorrow, even if I have to bot Betz.
I admit, using a hero point on a SLING throw might not be good resource management, but the fewer minions, the fewer chances they crit again!
Getting back in the swing of things, sorry for taking so long.
It's alright. Trust me, I know real life happens.
