Believe it or not, I actually got around to rereading the book a bit and through our threads to re familiarize myself with whats going on, and when I get a moment here soon I'm planning on at least getting this campaign going again. Haven't gotten around to anything other campaigns, but I hope I'll be doing that soon.
I've had a busy week, found another job that I started on wednesday, and I actually am getting to do something I enjoy doing, and (hopefully) I stay there for a while. So the next couple days I have off, I am much less stressed out, my family left town this morning, so things are going much better.
Anyways, just a heads up! Feel free to pass along the message to anyone else ;p
Still here! Life has just been... happening I suppose. Started new job, lost new job, been doing temp work etc. Not to get too personal or anything but I've just been having a hard time of it, and that coupled with dark souls 2 well... needless to say I haven't even been on the computer much in my limited free time. Not trying to ignore anyone, just sorta overwhelmed!
I 100% intend to get my bearing and get this campaign back up and going. Now... I know due to my slacking the other campaigns may be too far gone (honestly I am scared to even check), but this one for sure will still be going! Now... I can't say when this will be. Maybe tomorrow, maybe in a week or two, I just really need to get my head back in the game so to speak.
Deepest apologies for my negligence, thank you for sticking with me, and I hope to get back to gaming with you soon!
Hey everyone, just checking in, letting you know I'm still hereish. And also... you're all probably not not... not all of you. It'll be fine... yeah, just fine.
I do not plan on cancelling anything. Just been caught up with job, life, IRL games, other hobbies, etc that have been making it hard to sit down and get the PbP campaign stuff done. And then of course it becomes a slippery slope of getting behind, forgetting what I had planned and where we where, reading notes, reading posts, rereading notes and posts...
Anyways! I'm just getting into the swing of things with my new schedule and stuff. Am hoping to manage to sit down for a couple hours and get everything going again real soon, hopefully this weekend. Thank you all for being patient and putting up with me!

Sorry guys, I am still here. Started new job, moved into new house, and been catching up with other hobbies of mine. Just having a rough go of getting back into the swing of things online here. Not planning on dropping anything, just sort of keep getting swamped!

Shadows - the creatures surge forth at the party, attempting to drag them into a shadowy undeath to keep them company for eternity!
Two of the creatures rush Kjell, sending chills through his body and causing 3 STR damage.
Idril gets caught off guard and an icy hand reaches deep into her being, causing 6 STR damage!
- - - - - - - - -
Idril - feeling the divine power running through her scarf, she whips it out at the nearest shadow, sending the blade whizzing through the creature, causing it noticeable pain and dealing 3 damage!
Arthur - invokes the healing energies of the green and reaches forth, brilliant green light shining from his hand! The shadow screeches terribly before dissipating into nothingness as it travels towards its eternal rest.
Fraadok - places his hand upon Kjell's mighty axe and asks the Lady of Graves to invoke it with her will so as to send these abominations back to the afterlife.
Kjell - swings mightily once more, but the shadow's prove to be nimble when they are truly in fear of destruction, and the axe sails wide and misses.
Thalrik - I can't find a round 2 action for you, Thalrik
_____________________-
Map updated. So sorry for the delays! Am back and at it now, hopefully less slowly than I had been. Will wait to see if Thalrik posts an action before moving to round 3
Sorry, I'm still here! Was sick most of the week and finally got back up and at it yesterday, have been going over my notes and stuff (I was out of it so long, I kinda need to refresh myself on all that was going on) for all the campaigns so I can post it all in one fell swoop. It's been taking longer than I thought to do that between actually doing it and being kinda busy playing catch up with my daily life as well. So bear with me, will get something up asap!
Lol. Mostly sick. Maybe some drinking to cope with it here and there ;p but I sort of learned from that mistake... it didn't really work too well. Ok, just going through some things and notes for this campaign and a few others, will post soon once I am reorganized.
sorry guys, I kinda lost track of when and where I had posted that. I was in a bit of a Nyquil coma for a while, sleeping my way through a nasty cold. Thought it was better and then it wasn't, and I kinda of just really struggled to get myself together enough to do the GM thing. Should be better now. Reading through my notes as I type this to get back on track and finish up this battle. For sure will post soon.
hey sorry I have been sick last couple days and haven't really even woken up enough to do much posting until now. Will work on getting things done tonight.
Shadows - Three shadow figures rush forward, enraged by the sudden light. One rushes at Arthur, one at Kjell, and one at Thalrik.
The creature rushing at Kjell rears up but then hisses and cringes as the light shines into his face area, causing him to miss.
Arthur and Thalrik, however, get struck by the creatures. As their icy shadow hands pass through them, they are overcome by an immense chill! (Arthur takes 1 STR damage, Thalrik takes 5 STR damage.)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Thalrik - gasping for breathe as his pack suddenly starts to bear down its weight on him, Thalrik steps back and places a magical armor about himself while studying his enemy.
Kjell - in a flurry of blades, Kjell sends his Great Axe ripping through not one, not two, but three shadows! *Ker-swish!*. Although his axe sails through the shadows' bodies, it is obvious the magical blade still hurt the creatures severely.
Fraadok - bows his head in prayer to the Lady of Graves, and then lays his blessing upon Idril's bladed scarf. He then steps aside and prepares to send these abominations towards a more permanent death. (touch of the spirit world ability)
Arthur - swings with his club, but it simply passes through the creature!
Idril - dances forward, her blessed scarves lashing out at the nearest creature. The creature hisses and dodges to the side and barely evades her attack.

Round 2
Shadows - the creatures surge forth at the party, attempting to drag them into a shadowy undeath to keep them company for eternity!
Two of the creatures rush Kjell, sending chills through his body and causing 3 STR damage.
Idril gets caught off guard and an icy hand reaches deep into her being, causing 6 STR damage!
Jammy - from atop his noble steed, the mighty Kobold mage motions and chants arcane gibberish as his eyes begin to glow in a mighty red aura. He then proceeds to not hit anyone with his whip, but rather, decides to send an intimidating message. He's a nice guy like that.
Dr. Silver- Moves up to the stairway and yells at the vile witch. The bluff is a free action, you still have a standard if you want
Scotty - Yells his frustrations at being held by a naked man, and then quickly gets out of that situation and tumbles to the corner of the room, readying his knives as he does. *thicka-thwap*.
Harland - speaks with the new stranger, and as he does, pulls out a vial as he prepares to react if needed.
Aurora - possibly with a look of reluctance, the elf slips into the building and closes the door behind her.
Bour - Will bot Bour if still no word in a few hours
Thalrik - gasping for breathe as his pack suddenly starts to bear down its weight on him, Thalrik steps back and places a magical armor about himself while studying his enemy.
Kjell - in a flurry of blades, Kjell sends his Great Axe ripping through not one, not two, but three shadows! *Ker-swish!*. Although his axe sails through the shadows' bodies, it is obvious the magical blade still hurt the creatures severely. (oh man, if they weren't incorporeal you would have killed all of them then and there!)
Thalrik, you are used to shadows disappearing when there is light, but seeing the shadows run away is a slightly different experience. Especially when they make a disturbing hissing sound and then leap off the walls and attack.
Shadows - Three shadow figures rush forward, enraged by the sudden light. One rushes at Arthur, one at Kjell, and one at Thalrik. The one rushing at Thalrik provokes an AoO from Kjell.
mechanics:
attack vs Thalrik:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 151d6 ⇒ 5
attack vs Kjell:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 51d6 ⇒ 3
attack vs Arthur:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 201d6 ⇒ 1
fumble confirm:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
The creature rushing at Kjell rears up but then hisses and cringes as the light shines into his face area, causing him to miss.
Arthur and Thalrik, however, get struck by the creatures. As their icy shadow hands pass through them, they are overcome by an immense chill!
Arthur takes 1 STR damage, Thalrik takes 5 STR damage.
Ali nonchalantly wanders about the room, moving aside things here and there, lifting up a blanket or two. Under one of these blankets, she finds a very ratty looking bag, that appears to be made of coarse hemp or the like. It is rather dirty. But I suppose it is exciting in that its the only thing you found.
While Vai watches, Mal and Beylinda stumble forth, attempt to grab Jax, but the elf proves too nimble, and manages to escape them as he hobbles towards the yellow plant.
Marrant recognizes the danger and moves into action! He successfully manages to restrain the entranced Jax!
- - - - - - - -
No AoO Marrant. Ok, so we are going to drop to initiative. Let's just go you guys, bad guy, you guys, bad guys. We'll consider its attack a surprise action. So, I still need a round one action from Farrin, and then Jax, you will need to spend your standard to try and escape grapple, and move if able after that.
Skeletons begin to emerge from the sarcophagi. The scraping of stone echoes throughout the room and they violently attempt to burst out!
- - - - - - - - - -
Naia - Sorry, no favored coffins ;p The slayer realizes she knows what to do. Like she was chosen for this. To kill all the undead. She smashes her mace at the arm of an emerging skeleton, taking it straight off and reducing the limb to dust.
So what I am going to do here is if you hit the arm and do x damage, the arm is destroyed, leaving the skeleton with a permanent -2 to hit and only gets one attack, plus it'll do a little damage.
Roland - thinks 'bashing arms is for suckas', and he grabs the skeleton, forcefully pulls it out of the coffin, and then bashes it into nothingness with his shield. One skeleton down. (had to honor the double crit! Nice rolls!)
Rameth - whips out his club and rushes to bring it down on a skeletal arm, however he is unable to hit anything besides the coffin lid!
Namon - holds his action, waiting to see how this plays out.
Ealasaid - steps up to an opening coffin and bashing another skeleton arm into dust and debris!
Quartle - tries to poke the creature with his curing wand, knowing the healing magic will harm the undead, but he is unable to touch the creature! (I didn't know the charge holds on a wand if the attack misses?)
- - - - - - - - - - -
Round 2
The skeletons manage to remove their lids and emerge from the coffins! Two of the skeletons have a nasty surprise waiting for them though, and Ealasaid's bear traps snap shut with a *CLANK*!
The trap manages to catch both skeleton's legs, instantly reducing them to dust and sending the skeleton tumbling to the ground, only half of its former self. As soon as they hit the ground they turn to dust as well.
Suddenly, there is a disgusting lurching sound coming from the doorway. Standing, or I suppose laying in the entrance to this room is a disgusting abomination that appears to be a gross lump of flesh with a humanoid face. Pale and glistening with moisture, this sluglike creature stares vacantly as a droning moan escapes its slobbering lips.
Make a DC 15 Will save or be sickened for as long as the creature moans
"Ah! Most excellent! I would rather like a sampling of all of you... but I suppose more will do! Just give them fingers a little cut won't you? *mmmmmmm* Yes. That's right..."
The Raven's eyes glow as Galen offers more blood to him.
"I expect you want something in return? *hohum*... Well there is a secret door over there! But oh my my it is a tricky one. It has a nearly impossible lock on it. I think the key is around here somewhere..."
Working in perfect unison, Kjell and Arthur each ram the door in strangely equal force, causing the door to swing open with ease and symmetry.
The room beyond is long and fairly dark. A few torches flicker on the wall, but some sort of draft appears to be blowing the flames about, causing the room to blink in and out of darkness. Four pillars support the domed ceiling of this room. Several dark alcoves containing standing sarcophagi grace the walls, and a statue of a stern man wielding a glaive and holding a book stands in the southern part of the chamber.
I just need an action from Quartle, Namon, and Ealasaid, and then the skellies are up to bust out of their coffins. Unless the three of them want to delay, of the party wants me to bot/delay for them.
Technically it could have gotten you from anywhere within 30'. I figured you were at least that close. We can move you back a couple squares if you want but it still got ya.
An entranced creature can take no action other than to move at its normal speed into a space within the creature's reach, at which point an entranced creature remains motionless.
