I am in the same boat here as Ghettowedge, in that I generally enjoy the atmosphere here, though the friendly quotient has declined a bit, of late.
My biggest issue is that the boards seem to be down (or exceedingly slow) nearly half the time I am trying to post, whether it be as a player or DM. I haven't lost anything major, post-wise (yet), but I have gotten so annoyed that I walked away from my computer for several hours.
Anywho, this is by no means a definite switch - I want to hear from everyone before I consider it any further. I am inclined to stay if the move will cost players, or cause major hassles.

Opinions from all, please: How do you feel about migrating the game to a different site (myth-weavers.com, most likely)? Paizo's forums are beginning to tick me off. Answer here on in the discussion thread, no biggie either way.
Sundered Heart wrote: Still around but a big project demands my full attention until Wednesday. Not a problem - will keep doing my best to not get you killed in some barbarically splendid way. :)
Back at it, finally - hope y'all are still around! :)
The bedraggled and beaten but still frenzied stench-ghoul flings itself again at Setil, but the deva calmly steps away from the clacking, frothing jaws. Undeterred, the cadaverous foe slinks sidewise, seeking a better angle for its next attack.
The hunched form of the packleader moves as well, even as his sharp hiss cues Jurival to assist his craven attack on the beleaguered swordmage, who again interposes his swift-weaving blade in a solid parry.
Grimacing at the touch of consecrated steel, the packleader croaks yet another command, and his last minion surges at Galad, claws cutting fog, cloth and flesh with equal abandon. As his rapidly festering wounds begin to ache, Galad is struck with the whiplash slap of the creature's horrid tongue, the wicked toxins searing his hastily raised forearm to cracking blisters.
Madda: Misses (Rev, based on your statement re: flanking with Setil, I adjusted your movement to fit. Lemme know if you'd like it changed.)

Apologies for the unannounced (or incorrectly announced) absence of your beloved DM - I've a sudden influx of freelance design jobs that landed on my lap and are due no later than weekend of July 4, in addition daddy responsibilities, so while I do not want to shelve Madness long term, I will certainly be posting irregularly at very best until 6 July or so.
Thanks for your patience and understanding. :)
Thanks for the offer Ghetto, but I'll personally have to pass. BTW, I am not deceased or otherwise incapacitated, I'll be back to posting regularly on Monday, as soon as my parents depart. Apologies for the sudden scarcity of posts, I hadn't expected them to stay as long as they have.
Peeling withered lips back in a snarl, Jurival lunges back into the fray, stray locks of filthy blonde hair dancing in the capricious breeze. Setil again bears the brunt of the assault, the once-priest's claws raking and rending despite the deva's arcanic mistborn barrier.
Scuttling sidewise away from the ancient, ghostly warrior in the midst of the melee, the other cadaverous ghoul narrows its eyes and explodes into the swirling mists with astonishing speed, hurtling into Galad, claws scrabbling at his throat. Twisting behind the tree-trunk, the deva manages to escape the worst of the blows, but the few scratches he takes are enough to send cramps to his calves and thighs, intense and agonizing.

Never fear, never fear! Update tomorrow AM - busy weekend! Also, this coming week will be pretty tight for me, as I have a freelance project (for real $!) that will be keeping me busy while I am not daddying. I'll update as I can though.
Bolstered by Setil's aid, Sundered Heart moves to flank his ghoulish adversary, though his stabbing thrust is casually batted aside. The barbarian's primal fury finally overcomes the debilitating weakness that plagues him, and he throws back his head and howls with unadultered, violent glee.

Karrn: Despite Unfettered Power eating your attack, you still get to roll a Saving Throw (vs Slow), thanks to Chaos Burst.
Amid the chaos of battle Setil calmly centers himself, feeling the pain of his wounds diminish as he reasserts control of his body, purging the undead filth from his blood. Arcanic phrases congeal the rag-tag, straggling threads of mist into an ephemeral barrier as the deva moves to assist Sundered Heart.
SH is up, will wait a few hours for Radavel.

Thin nostrils flaring at the coppery scent of new blood on the fetid air, the blood-covered ghoul pivots away from Sundered Heart, launching itself under Setil's guard and ripping flesh from the Deva's arm with a powerful snap of its ruined jaws. The wound is ghastly, and corruption festers within it already, but the Deva's blade - rime-covered and deadly cold - punches deep into the ghoul's throat in answer.
"Take him!' whispers the hunching and wasted form of the pack's leader.
Needing little further urging, the bloodied ghoul continues his assault on the Swordmage, flailing claws cleaving naught but air around the stoic deva. Setil manages to step into the pack leader's blow, turning his shoulder so that the claws rake across armor instead of skin and bone.

Karrn, feeling the barely leashed forces of elemental chaos escaping him, can only watch as the mist around him thickens into a swirl of snowflakes that dance madly, caught like Galad in the staggering rush of a sudden winter wind.
Karrn:
The wind spirits, playful and capricious as is their wont, rant and mutter with sibilant whispers as they obey Galad's instructions, enwrapping the lesser ghouls in their shrieking embrace, lifting and spinning them madly, before growing bored and dropping their burdens unceremoniously back to the muddy earth.
The presence of so many wind spirits has had another, unintended but welcome effect - their chaotic revels have thinned or dissipated the clinging fog in some places.
Currently only Karrn and Galad have fog-granted concealment
Setil takes 5 ongoing acid damage (currently at 10/91 HP) and is up.

Setil wrote: I'm confused. Did I use it more than once this round? It looks like I used it on the Initiate in round 3, and then I just tried it on the Initiate on round 4. Setil, you are correct. Will add 13 HP to SH's total - thanks for catching that, and my apologies for the error.
"You don't want to make me any madder!" Sundered Heart growls, driving Kill Point into the ghoul's shrunken and bloody belly. A shrug of his powerful shoulders heaves the creature out of the fog and back up the hill.

In a frenzy of slashing claws, Jurival and his feral ally fling themselves at Setil. The deva's sets his blade whirling and spinning in a desperate defense, but cannot turn all the blows. Claws bloody his forearms, and the sting of burning spittle spatters his neck where a tongue's lash cannot be avoided.
"Join usssss!" Jurival murmurs again. "Let the Massster give you to the Void Beyond!"

Karrn wrote: DM since I made multiple rolls (odd and even) which effect do I get from my Chaos Burst power? We'll use the first attack roll you made this turn, as indicated in the Chaos Burst description, so... even, which means +1 AC
Go ahead and roll for your Wild Soul resistance type while we're thinking about it.
Also, next time you use an AoE/Multiple Roll power, please apply the rolls in the order you listed them in your OOC text, instead of re-arranging to suit. According to the rolls as listed on IC (1d20+13=19, 1d20+13=20, 1d20+13=19, 1d20+13=29, 1d20+13=30), you should be missing all 3 targeted enemies and hitting both Madda and Setil.
Eyes blazing with blood-fervor the emaciated creature renews his assault on Sundered Heart, claws rending, gouging and slashing. Dragonborn and aberrant cadaver alike boast myriad ragged and bleeding wounds; and both pay them little heed, locked as they are in feral struggle. The corpse-beast wraps Sundered Heart's wrist with its grotesque tongue, again setting flesh to oozing under the caustic expectorate left behind, then slinks back into the safety of the fog.

Shifting through the coiling dampness of the mists the packleader evades Madda's pounce, a grunted command provoking an unlooked-for attack upon Setil, though its own blow is parried easily by the Swordmage. Undeterred, the hunched and tattered figure leers at Setil, tongue darting between jagged teeth with a mind of its own.

Swirls of mist undulate in the grip of the winds that Galad calls, shrieking gusts tearing briefly at the increasingly battered, stench-ridden corpse-creature. Sundered Heart doggedly draws himself up as his wounds knit yet again, although he will certainly boast several new, impressive scars.
Galad, Blessing still does half damage on a miss. :)
Karrn's matched katars whirl and thrust, imbued with sorcerously bound tendrils of chaos, but his opponent is wary and the sharp blades cleave only mist. With a drawn-out hiss, his crouching foe turns to face the young sorcerer, flexing claws and curling its lips in a ghastly smile. Erupting out of its feral crouch, the creature's filthy claws cut a ragged streak of pain across Karrn's cheek.

Setil's blade glints as he raises it high, despite the cover of dancing fog. Lighting from a clear sky arcs earthward, lancing violently into two of the creatures; Jurival and Sundered Heart's feral nemesis. Their bodies contort violently and fingers of smoke rise from them to join the erratically whirling, spirit-driven threads of mist.
Jurival whirls, still smoking, and digs his claws deep into the soft flesh below the Deva's upraised shoulder. His tongue bursts from his pained grimace like a striking adder, scribing a trail of caustic spittle up Setil's sword-arm as it descends.
"Weee sshall take you back to the massssster... heee can help open your mind!"

A hiss and a curt gesture from the pack's leader, and Sundered Heart's assailant is clawing at the battered dragonborn again, opening more bloody furrows with his cruel claws. Both wretched creatures shift to follow their prey, the pack leader swatting casually at the ancient spirit as he lopes to the west. His blow is ineffectual, and his attention seems focused on the harried form of Sundered Heart.

Madda's swift pounce catches her assailant unprepared, but still it nearly manages to twist out of the way. The desperate lurch leaves it off-balance, and Madda's jaws close on its gaunt forearm.

Taking advantage of the ancient spirit's presence Sundered Heart slowly edges up the hill, as best as his addled senses and leaden legs will permit. He spins Kill Point in a shattering arc that is harmlessly diverted by the frenzied creature relentlessly pursuing him.

Karrn's sorcerously enhanced dagger punches easily through taut skin, the elemental energies bound to it gnawing at once-Jurival's innards. The creature pays little heed to the wound, intent on avoiding Galad's radiant hawk-spirit as it plummets toward him through tendrils of mist that now dance merrily to the tune of a newfound breeze.
The creature hisses in dismay as it watches blisters rise up the length of the fending arm that shielded it from the worst of the assault, recovering focus just in time to spin away from the ancient blade wielded by Galad's ancestral spirit, which cuts away a rag-tag bit of filthy sleeve only.
Hawk's Wind misses, but Vulnerable 5 Radiant adds to your remaining damage, Galad. ...Blood Dancer also misses, narrowly.

Galad The Redeemed wrote: Oh bother. You're right, I never really read the last sentence of the power. Of course, this completely changes the first fight, but who cares about that. Let's go with Call to The Blood Dancer then. Still useful. No worries about the first fight at all... This whole game has been a learning experience for all of us, I think. It's hard to begin at a higher level, with a whole array of powers you have no practice with, rather than picking them up one at a time. I'm pretty sure that I got some things wrong or overlooked bits as well.
Speaking of overlooked bits, y'all who are slowed should keep Galad's Stalker Spirit Adept feat in mind - it allows anyone adjacent to his spirit companion to shift 1 square (free action) as the first action of his/her turn (in addition to any other shifts or movements you may normally be allowed.)
Also, after seeking some clarification, I should announce that Slow applies only to actions that reference your Speed. If you've been granted a Shift 4, you can use it, despite the 2-square limitation placed by the Slow condition.
Galad The Redeemed wrote: "You shall see the truth of what you have done!", declares Galad as the ghoul is bathed in holy light. He then circles behind a tree, and Sundered and Madda can feel their wounds mend. Meanwhile, the spirit drifts over to them and lashes out at the undead.
...then spending my AP on Defending Strike on 1, refreshing Call to The Blood Dancer.
I am assuming you're using Resurgent Action to refresh ...Blood Dancer, but I think, based on Resurgent Action's wording that you'd have to use the recovered power during your bonus action, instead of Defending Strike. Happily corrected if I have misunderstood, though.
Madda - on four paws now - enters the fray, darting, snapping and growling as she defends her wayward and mismatched little flock. Her jaws crunch down on the rancid flesh of the putrid-smelling creature's leg, tearing away a ragged strip of flesh and calf muscle. Shaking her muzzle in a vain attempt to rid herself of the foul taste, she snarls as her foe twists himself away through the cracks beyond, reappearing but a few steps away in a flailing cloud of thought-shattering energies that curl around herself and her friend Sundered Heart.
The desiccated, wild-eyed form lets out a madman's private chortle and continues his relentless assault on the ruddy-scaled barbarian, adding more ragged lacerations to his already impressive tally of bleeding and debilitating wounds.

"Yess... finish him!" commands the crouching figure, watching his minion avidly as he circles around the disoriented wolfhound.
With a perfectly timed thrust, the creature does as ordered, straightening bulge-knuckled fingers into a daggerlike blade and driving them deep into the hollow below Sundered Heart's chin. The dragonborn staggers surprised, coughs a gout of bright blood, then exhales in a moment of private peace as the silver-tinged, ephemeral pinions of the guardian phoenix enfold him, closing his most grievous wounds.
This unexpected resurgence draws invective from the pack's leader. "USELESSSSSSS! Ssssince you can't kill him, do not let him essssscape!!! Cringing and hissing with displeasure, the so-nearly triumphant ghoul shifts to block further retreat.
"Graaah!!" The packleader vents his frustration on Madda, his claws raking down her flank, leaving a trio of painful furrows. The cramps set in immediately, tightening her haunches painfully even as she feels the creature's tongue flicker across her muzzle, leaving caustic spittle burning in its wake.

Throwing his head back and roaring, Sundered Heart lets the blood-mad spirits that hover around Galad's ancestor fill him, stoking the fire of his primal fury. Kill Point is a blur in his hands, thrusting twice in rapid succession as he slides out of his vulnerable position, as far as his leaden legs will carry him. The first blow lands with a sickening crunch, staving in a portion of the violet-eyed figure's forehead. The beast lurches, staggers, then gathers itself again, shaking its head slowly and glaring at the retreating dragonborn. Sundered Heart's second thrust is batted aside by the creature Setil seems to know.
"Karrn!" he shouts over the noise of battle, "Get your fragile arse up that hill!"

His attention now fixed on Setil, the creature who once was Jurival slinks toward the deva, pausing only to rake at the slender form of Karrn, who blocks his way. The claws trace down the boy's ribs, raising immediate, ugly welts and cramping the half-elf's legs with jolts of excruciating pain.
The creature's voice is a husk of what was once a smooth speaking voice, lilting and quick to laugh. "Happened?! Ssssse-ttilllllll.... I wasssss given the Beyond! Why sssserve a god, when I can become one?" It holds up a bloodied claw, beckoning. "Join ussssssss, Ssssetillll!"
VTS1: Shift O35. Claws vs Karrn (AC) 28, 14 damage and Slowed (save ends).
Setil:
Not giving Setil time to answer, the second of the aberrant corpse-creatures flings itself at him, thick nails clawing madly - but wildly - for the deva's eyes.
VTS2: Shift P38, Claws vs Setil (AC): Miss.

Grumpysauce, can you DMPC Madda as necessary, feeling free to use any encounter of daily powers you think will help at the time.
I shall do my level best to make sure you don't get eaten, dismembered, fricaseed, decaffeinated or otherwise bent, folded, spindled or mutilated. :)

As the burden of Setil's aegis enfolds it, the disheveled figure pivots, a feral snarl contorting ravaged features as its glare fixes on the offending deva. It falters for a brief moment, blinking thrice in abject confusion, before narrowing lambent eyes and flashing a predator's grin.
"Ssssse-tillllll!" it drawls, tasting each syllable of the name as if appreciating a particularly choice morsel.
Skills accumulated from lifetime upon lifetime of desperate combat are not enough to draw blood from the serpent-swift, once-human monstrosity, despite Setil's advantageous positioning. The creature sidesteps the blow easily.
Setil, both rolls missed, although with the Ascendant Lineage feat, you retain use of your Memories...

Oblivious to the putrid stench that clings to his opponent, the spectral deva draws himself up, blade dancing in patterns long-since forgotten in the current age of the world. A sudden, fluid lunge neatly pierces the creature's defenses, and the spirit resumes his archaic kata, stoic amid the surrounding frenzy.
The malformed corpse-creature howls in response, tongue snaking out of its own accord to lap at the black blood oozing from the wound.
Call to the Blood Dancer hits.

Erm...Davi, which of the four adjacent baddies were you aiming your Ancestor at?
Ghostfoot, on the verge of panic, flees the rancid charnel stench as fast as possible, galloping to the northwest as Galad slides to the muddy ground.
Sundered Heart is visibly bolstered by Ioun's knowing touch, throwing off the oppressive weight of many wounds. The appearance of Galad's spectral ancestor next to him only brightens his disposition further.
Galad's Healing Word gives SH a Surge (28) +10=38 HP.

Karrn's thrust falls wide of the mark. Nettles, eyes rolling in fear, screams and canters up the nearby hill.

Moisture - abundant in both earth and sky - surges in response to the call of Madda's totem. A momentary deluge of painful droplets coalesces into a swirling, roaring vortex of water, pulling and battering at the already mud-spattered and gravel-abraded abominaton the young druid seems so eager to destroy.
Madda, that's a hit on #3, but the secondary effect takes place only if the affected target(s) leave the burst's area before the end of your next turn. If that happens, we'll keep your roll.
It snarls soundlessly in response, jaw unhinging to near-impossible proportions before snapping shut empty at the end of a misjudged lunge. Sundered Heart, anticipating the strike, snaps the butt of his spear backward, attempting a brutal reprisal, but the creature is too quick, ducking low underneath the heavy haft.
The hunched silhouette hisses, a sharp rasp of indrawn breath through withered lips and cannibal's teeth. "Great Void eat you, mussst I do thiss myssself?" The question is apparently rhetorical, for the figure explodes into motion before the mists swallow his words.
"Rend him!" he commands his sopping ally, who responds with an ineffectual swipe at Sundered Heart's calves.
Once again the robe-clad abomination scuttles to menace Sundered Heart's vulnerable flank just in time for his commander's impending attack. A final, cat-like leap propels the gangrel form into the
fray, frenzied claws opening more ragged wounds on the already battered dragonborn. The creature gestures - sending the closest lackey bounding towards Setil - then renews his furious assault, reveling in the spray of bright blood that results.

Correction: I let one of my baddies (A3: Void-Touched Emissary) take a move action that he was not allowed to in the surprise round. His position on the map (Q37) has been reflected to adjust this, and he remains visible (though the fog still grants concealment per usual.)
Current Map
"Gotta buy me dinner before you kiss me, ugly!" the Dragonborn growls, his orange facial scales now slicked with rivulets of red blood as the corrosive ichor burns beneath them. Kill Point flashes a trail of flickering silver flame and dark blood as it leaves a smoldering furrow across the pulsing abdomen of an assailant. Ephemeral argent wings embrace Sundered Heart briefly, as the primal spirits lend him the strength to fuel his rising fury.

Sundered Heart deftly parries the first creature's raking claws with the shaft of his spear. "Got 'em right where I want 'em! Now get moving!" he rumbles, sparing his companions a brief, over-the-shoulder glance.
Denied again and hissing it's hatred, the robe-clad figure lurches sideways, its mere presence enough to give its corpseflesh ally a clean opening. Claws crusted with filth and gore dig deep beneath draconic muscle, leaving a ragged wound already burning with debilitating toxins.

The twisted creature falls flat, limbs splayed and scrambling for solid purchase as the soggy earth grinds and chews at it in answer to Madda's command.
Surging upright at last, the ghoulish creature draws back its thin and ragged lips in a feral snarl that promises a painful reckoning soon to come.
A4: Move to stand from prone.
"Inept fool!" croaks a hunched silhouette, indistinct among the eddying mists. There is a hint of a commanding gesture, the suggestion of an outstretched, pointing arm. The figure drops back down to all fours, loping crookedly into the shadow of a tree trunk and out of sight.
Unholy hatred burns in the violet eyes of the ghoulish wretch between Sundered Heart and Karrn, as his claws rake down the length of Sundered Heart's broad back, coming away bloody.
A3: Ghoulish Fervor (minor) grants A4 a basic attack vs SH (AC): 34, 18 damage.

Tongue flickering like a demented serpent, a third emaciated figure bursts into view, mad eyes glowing an eldritch violet. It moves with a predator's malevolent grace despite limbs that seem crazily malformed and mismatched. Several paces from Sundered Heart, the creature opens its jag-toothed mouth in a soundless scream, hurling itself elsewhere, beyond sight, only to reappear a short heartbeat later behind the besieged Dragonborn, sheathed in a nimbus of otherworldly energies that enwrap Karrn and his "brother," dulling their reactions.
A gut-churning miasma of rot, corruption and filth radiates from the gaunt thing - the simple act of breathing proves laborious within the pungent reek.
Seizing her opportunity, Madda acts, even as the creature tenses to strike.
