Best of luck to your mom!

@Linge Thanks for taking one (or 3) for the team. Maybe I'll get a chance to hit something on my turn.
Just imagine a bear cub walking on ice for the first time and each of slipping away in a different direction. Think of a dog wearing boots for the first time on slippery tiles. That's exactly what's happening.
So a little bit of an update. There's been a snag and we don't know what the plan is now. Long story short, an issue we thought had been resolved showed back up, and now they're postponing the procedures until they can resolve it.
Thank you for the support that y'all have given me. I appreciate it. I'll try to get a post up this weekend, but we'll see. I'm probably going to be exhausted.
I maybe a bit slow to post today. We have guests/family visiting.
Wanted to give y'all an update. We're waiting on the hospital to give my mom an MRI to see if the gall stone has passed. Depending on what they see, they'll either go in for the stone, then take out her gall bladder the next day, or just take out her gall bladder if the stone's passed. Either way, we're looking at least Tuesday before she can come home, but more likely Wednesday to Thursday.
Thank you all for you patience and well wishes. I appreciate both. I hope that things will get to be more normal soon.
Fingers crossed for your mom!
Sorry I missed this till today. Praying the stone had passed and she is able to go home today/tomorrow. Thank you for the updates!
Thanks for the well wishes, and I have some good news. She had the MRI, and it came up good. She'll only need to undergo the one procedure. We're hoping she'll get to come home tomorrow if they can get her in for the procedure today.
Again, thanks for the well wishes. I appreciate it. :)

Wanted to give y'all an update. Momma's home now. It sounds like she's worn out, but she's home at least. :)
Quick note, Kriemhilds prayer means she is gorrumite, respects the dead man, and wishes for him to enter gorrums valhalla, but only if the dead man agrees to it, she does not know his religious affiliation.
she does not know his religious affiliation.
It would be safe to assume that most people in the town worship Erastil (hunting, farming, trade) because that is what this town does. Old Man Dansby had a large farm near the Border Wood. Regardless, anyone saying something to respect the dead would be the normal thing to do, except for what Erastil thinks of Gorum who doesn't fall in Erastil's opposed category.
But then again you all would know that Dansby retired as a farmer here after serving his life as a soldier of Taldor... so maybe he would be a Gorum & Erastil follower. Either way, no cold hard facts are in the books on the man and his faith.
Apologies. I'm not feeling tops so I may be a bit lack luster in posting.
Oh, I have some vacancies in a wotr game where I took over as GM.
It is here, the party likely needs a level 9-10 mythic 3-4 arcane caster, current team is a paladin, a shaman, and probably an oracle.
I am on the other side of the flu. Just dealing with some fatigue and congestion. Bear with me a bit to get caught up.
Apologies, folks. I maybe a bit slow to post this weekend. Our dog has passed. She was very old, not healthy, so now is beyond pain, but still.. not at top of my game mentally right now :(
You and yours are in my prayers. Losing a loved one is never easy, whether they have two legs or four and whether the end is sudden or seen coming from a long way off.
Take care of yourself. We'll be here when you get back.
I am really sorry to hear that.
I'm sorry for your loss, Krokod. Take all the time you need.
Very sorry about that folks. Hadn't realized I'd gotten that far behind

Don't even worry about it.

No worries. We can chalk it up to Krokod freezing (pun possibly intended) when the violence popped off.

I frequently roleplay "OMG I killed the first sapient being I can emphathise with", but... Kriemhild is a CN Gorrumite with some Desna and Callistria on top, who comes from a hard place, and always envisioned herself as a mercenary if her opera dreams dont work out.
She doesnt view some bandit as worthy enemies, so she doesnt particularly enjoy killing them.

You needed some time off, and you took it - that was wise, and nothing to apologise for! As Mia mentioned, it can easily be played with aw Krokod being too shaken to act.

I hope I don't come off as annoying by playing Linge as pissed off :/
I just figured a pacifist healer would be very uncomfortable with having a guy being kebab'd in front of her while trying to run away (even a bad guy!)

No, I love it.
I feel like Kessir is riding a line right now and I was going to put something in here about me playing him as a jerk anyhow.

I don't think you did, Linge. This is great, to be honest. I'm liking how things are going.
@GM would it safe to assume that we're about 1 hour away from the lodge?
Though you haven’t seen the Border Woods in this condition, you are familiar enough with your location of this crossing. You are roughly 2 miles away from where the High Sentinel Lodge is housed to the southwest. In the current weather conditions, it would take you an hour to arrive. That is if you do not come across any other complications.
(currently 3pm)
@GM would it safe to assume that we're about 1 hour away from the lodge?
Yes. There was a little time between the river and where you are, the battle, and gathering supplies left behind by these three.
Sorry about the delay. Paizo's tangled rat was giving me fits and then I came down with something these past two days. Nothing major, just needed to rest.
Glad you're feeling better. No worries about the delay, especially if it's site related. Like I said in the Discord, the site's been kinda unstable for a while now.
Note: Unless under domination etc. none of my character would ever attack, let alone CDG, another player character.
what kriemhild is going for is a suprisingly subtle yet effective ploy, by basically belittling the capabilities of the enemy, without neccessary stating their her or her factions capabilities are greater, she seeks the foe to reveal more of his.
Note that I am good with jumping straight to morning and glossing over our watch if that's what we wanna do.
I'm helping out by rolling as many nat 1s as possible ahead of the next fight!

flashbacks are always welcome! Well as long as it doesn't have you fighting your way through the nine hells welding a +5 Vorpal Longsword... lol
I was toying with the idea of her having been told the name of that Succubus, but then it was like "the hell is she doing to do with it? It wont be a true name, and she wont have contact entity, and I dont think any demons even show up in this ap" the scene was I hope nicely written though.
What she may remember from it is that Some things that are very nasty like to trade for secrets.
It was a fun read. :)

Wow Askold, you have seen a lot... young Kriemhild says to the grizzled Kellid.
What were the 3 biggest surprises in your career? She inquires
Well, number one is getting captured by a Blade of f#*#ing midnight and living to tell the tale. He pauses
May have been the point though. A reputation for treating captives reasonably is always desireable, and I am spreading hers. He is lost in thought for a second.
I stood accused of consorting with demons once for having been released by that demoness. I expected a sham trial, but... I got "legal counsel" that actually argued well and got acquitted. Never expected Iomedeans to not be colossal hypocrites. Now that I look back, I think the Demoness tried to get me convicted of consorting with demons, sentenced to death, and then gallantly free me from imprisonment on the eve of my execution. Would have song Nocticulas praises for the rest of my probably very short live, but it didnt happen. He pauses once more. Think before you judge. Any idiot can kill, especially kill one who is within your power. It takes wisdom to not kill, and to see clearer. The warrior spoke, looking around as if perhaps picking up something on the peripheral edge of his vision, and then discarding it as random night noise.
I knew a warrior named Mahrevok, real beast of a man, could kill a Schir in under 6 seconds. Also a total a*$**$*. Everyone looked over the fact that he was a total a+~@$+* because he was that great at killing.
Dont make that mistake. If someone is great at killing, and as a#@*~*#, it makes him being an a%~&+*& way more serious, rather then cancelling it out. The f%!+er supposedly made a deal with a "spirit of Sarkoris", que surprise actually a Glabrezu, to become the most powerful warrior of his clan. Well, the demon made him more powerful. And more demonic. When his clan challenged him over it, he killed many and subjugated the rest. He got a bit nuts, before long, he was all that remained of his clan, and thus his wish was fullfilled. The warrior pauses once more.
Dont tolerate a&!@%&!s, and dont be one Kriemhild.
He says
That, pretty good life advice. Thanks Askold. Ill go to sleep now! Kriemhild spoke. The old veteran rarely spoke much, and just said more then he had in several weeks.
I sure hope ol Askold giving me live advice, as if saying good bye isnt omnious and... she thought as she rolled herself up in a blanket.
Go to sleep now young one. It is not you I have come to collect. a voice speaks in her head, female, lively.
But, telepath? You are the demoness he talked about...
Kriemhild blacked out as she fell asleep, the suggestion to do so being overwhelming.
When she woke, Askold, veteran of the worldwound wars was gone with no signs of struggle.

You have been watching me for a while Belana?
The old warrior addresses the demonic woman, as he tugs Kriemhild in, but does not draw his sword
You have grown more perceptive Askold. Good. Does your sword being sheathed means you will come willingly? The demonness answers
I appreciate that you let me say me goodbyes, so to speak, and that you are willing to only take me, and noone else. Askold answers with his hand on his sword grip.
By your own Gorrumite convictions, you cannot allow yourself to be taken without a fight. Yet, while I am confident in my victory, you arent weak or unaware enough that I could capture you quietly. I thus propose that you fight me elsewhere. the succubus speaks casting a glance over her shoulder.
Why are you... Askold pauses Considerate?
Treat mortals about 30% better then they would expect, and they will fight thrice as hard for you, without needing all that much supervision. And well, very reasonable and well founded mortal expectations of demonic behaviour established by the bug and the goat by copious precedent sets a really low baseline for that. It is similiar to how it works in places like Irrisen, Cheliax or Nidal. The demoness answers chuckling to herself.
And in your case, you have your looks on top, as enticement. The Barbarian answers
I mean, some of the Yadwigas, and a fair few of the Chelaxian are fairly attractive physically, but I do have to state from personal experience that the daughters of Baba Yaga maintain a high degree of frigidity.
The demoness keeps conversationally chuckling as she beckons the warrior to follow her into the night. He does so.

Thanksgiving stuff ongoing so I may not be posting until Friday

Totally understand Holidays are like that. Thursday-Saturday we at at the in-laws and I might be spotty. But when in doubt, always feel free to RP
Kriemhild grabs Mias body and drags her to Linge.
Mia is not unconscious. She is currently at 1 HP
Correct. I only wanted to confirm that you weren't in negative HP and bleeding. Totally cool with how you're playing it.
Yeah, but I figured I'd roll with it. Mia's tough, but that has to be a shock to the system.
Sorry all. I had a final paper do on Wednesday and then a few things to wrap up for a class. Diving in to get us where we need to be following the shot heard around the world
'Salright. Real life comes first. Hope things go well with the paper. :)
Paper is done and turned in. Had a few things to wrap up for the class thurs/fri and I apologize for not jumping on sooner and saying something.
Now don't take another arrow!
Correct
Playing catch up. I had to pick my son up from school Friday morning. He tested positive for Strep Throat Saturday afternoon.
Oof. Poor guy. :(
No worries, totally understand. The "crud" is moving through the schools around here. Hope he is on meds and feeling better.
