I've not posted anything because I saw I was after the Baddies, do you need me to go ahead and post Eva's action?

Eva chucks one of her bombs, aiming to hit as much of the zombies as she can and as little of their group as possible.
Eva is readying to throw a bomb out the door to hit what ever is in the square ten feet in front of Kjel. (Currently the Back Left Square taken up by the Big one). If she can get one through right now, she'll do so.
I hope everything gets better. :( (And I'm fine with the once a week for now.)
I know I've been really silent lately. I've been slammed by work, slammed hard. It's not the same long insane days as last winter, but there have been some pretty major deadlines that fell one right after another. It hasn't slowed down since it started in October, and it's going to be insane through the start of the year easy. Could be even longer than that. I don't know. I just know I feel drained, drained and exhausted.
Eva reached amongst her things as she heard the hoard slamming against the doors. The others said they were climbing. And there was something similar to Tomas and the Tax Collector out there. She pulled out an often forgot vial labeled 'EMERGENCY USE ONLY'. "I guess... this qualifies as an emergency..." Popping the top she downed the contents making a face and a cringe. "...Still... tastes... horrible..." Eva began to change as the contents took effect.
"I'll do better hitting them from afar with fire... or... hitting and them and you with some healing." Eva gave a small smile. "I can stay down here, behind all of you, running around with the wand and chucking bombs and such, or... I could head up to some high ground and chuck things from above."
Work has been keeping me so busy, between travel and sink-or-swim deadlines. >.< All these sudden deadlines are not cool.
I am traveling to the land of no cell service and little internet for work tomorrow. It should just be a day thing, but worst case it carries over to the next day. It was just set for sure today. (We'd been talking about it but it could have still gotten canceled...)
I've been buried under work. It is appearing to be letting up, but I'm distrustful of if this is true or not. (It's faked me out more than once in the past.) I'm trying to catch up and figure out what to post as I manage to get the time.
Eva, after everyone decided to disperse to take care of things, headed to her shop looking for her brother. They had much to catch up on since Eva had been gone.
Eva watches the spells cast with interest. "That will keep it safe? Any idea what those are? What makes them special? And about those statues... we need or more? Since we need to wake the children and close the portals? Maybe... we can find a way to recreate those statues? And there will probably be more undead. That plant-undead was not fun. I'm so glad you are coming with us again!" Eva turns to look at Lineera meaningfully, "You be careful, you hear me! Come back alive okay?"
Apologies for my silence recently. Work has been busy to horrid since last Monday. It was taking all my energy and them some. It seems to be dying back down today, but only time will tell.
"Cathran!" Eva's happiness at seeing her friend is obvious as she rushes for and wraps her arms around her in a hug. "We fought an undead-plant-once-half-orc-woman and her undead puppy. Place still reeked of necromancy... We... we were heading towards a place we think is Chateau Doeleurs. Perdition's Point was on the way. I'm so glad you are okay! Aurora will be okay?"
Hi Cathran :) Glad to see you back!
"...male and female at that... Do you think... the magic of that tower helped power it more? It was steeped in Necromancy. Practically oozed it... or grew it..." Eva gave a wiry smile at the thought of all those vile plants in that place. "And while Alexis here, may or not have been copied on purpose, the ones who made it surely had one... And since I doubt based on their actions that its anything good... think we could reverse polarize one? Make something good come out instead of this evil they seem to be aiming for? I wonder what it would take to do something like that... Searching for that could lead to freeing the kids... hm... Though catching them before they start would be a good idea too. We seem to be a step behind them so far... or more... sometimes it feels like more. I sure hope Chateau Doeleurs isn't in this same perdicament... or any of those other places..."
I'm still interested. I've just been busy. We had two out of the office most of the week and I've been under the weather from travel related things. That, and I've been trying to figure out what to have Eva say.
Home, even if it was still in the midst of repairs, was a wonderful place to be. But then, the mutterings started. The smile left Eva's face at the accusations of Lineera. "Does it not matter? That all Lineera has done since she came here is try to help us? Apparently not. Does she not deserve the benefit of the doubt? You see something you suspect without knowing is necromancy and accuse someone who has only tried to help you." Eva was not going to let them just throw Lineera out to dry. Eva felt some sort of relief when Kalvant approached them. Perhaps with his assistance, things could be sorted out before they decided to burn Lineera for her supposed "crimes". "It is good to see you again. The village looks to be coming along nicely." Eva turned to Alexis and Kjel. "This is Kalavant, a Paladin of Iomedae. He came in to Perdition's Point after we sent letters requesting aid after the attack." Eva turned back to Kalavant, "This is not our Alexis, but one from a different existence. She passed through a portal of some sort. We were in the middle of fighting a Plant-woman-thing and her pet when it happened."
It was a busy busy weekend for me. I'm trying to get a post up this morning between things.
MDT has it at 625 on the sheet (or it was that last I checked). I'll get a list together of time and cost for alchemical items, so people know and we can decide on how much of what we want.
I'm fine paying the money out of my share for the items I really want. :) Do we want me to make party Alchemist Fires and the like? Or just let you all order what you want from me and pay out of your share? Also, Do I need to calculate the cost on the Alchemy book? Or since it's not in the value of the loot, just take it?
Well Eva was taking the Alchemist Book and the Small Mithril chain shirt. Since it seems like loots already been divided, do I need to just subtract that from her share?
There are a handful of things I think Eva wanted, most of those spells were spells. And Eva had a good haul this time, so I'm willing to not get those yet. Personally, I'd like to take the boat to take the time to craft alchemical things. Not just for herself but for other party members. Eva does it at cost for her friends (aka party members) :) And Mahb, I'm okay with us doing a gold split. Do we want another Cure Wand? I suggest we take it out of party money before we split it if we do. I've been trying to keep up the party total on the loot page, subtracting and adding as we go.
I wanted to let every one know that I'm traveling this week to do an on-site training. The location is about a 12 hour drive away. (Yes we are driving) I'll be gone most of the week and my posting will likely be sporadic until I return home. I won't know how much free time I'll have there till it happens.
"You're alive." The relief is evident on Eva's face the moment Lineera begins to get up. Eva gives her a hug, glad she's alright. "I'm sorry I hurt you. It was... hard to hurt them otherwise. They kept following you around."
The moment the butterflies started to scatter, Eva rushed over to Lineera and poured her most potent Cure down her throat.
"Remind me to make sure EVERYONE has some Fire or Acid on them later. I shouldn't be the only one throwing things! I won't fuss if one of you wants to try to grab an Alchemist Fire from my things."
Eva moved forward trying to keep up with the Butterflies and Lineera. "You're right Mahb. Lineera, I'm sorry! Hold on!"
Take the whole weekend if you think you need it :) We can wait. Don't burn yourself out on account of us.
I thought maybe that's what it was. Get yourself some rest :) Health is important.
So I'm mostly back. Still weak and draggy, but I'm alive. I looked over what happened while I was gone. Everything looked like what I would have done, I just had a question. Why are my bombs only doing 3 splash damage? Splash is the minimum damage, which for my bombs is currently 5.
Generic post for all my games: I don't know when ill be up to posting. I woke up very, very sick. I just now got to where I could post this.
"How about we set them on fire." Looking at Riley and Kjel, "How good can either of you throw?" Eva, knowing it was to far for her to hit well, prepared to hit it as soon as it came in her throwing range.
That's right. I just... overlooked it/forgot we got it. I was as out of it as Eva was that day.
"I'm pretty sure they know about it. They did tell us there was a place they called the Necromancer's Tower out here. I get the feeling that don't want to see us again. Might be best for us to avoid that place."
It's not on mine either, but I can hold onto it since I have UMD. That is unless someone else wants it. Also, Wand? We picked up a wand here? Did I miss that while putting down loot?
"Though, they believe the children to be dead. They found bodies in the swamp. They got mad at us if we even suggested they were still alive."
Since I'm sure someone checked once we were out, are any of the items (besides the spellbooks and of course Maggie) magical? I'll mark it on the loot list.
"So, home we go?"
"So you eat silver Maggie?"
So, loot distribution. I believe last time we just took care of it here in the discussion thread instead of rping it out? We can rp it out if you like. There are two items on that list I'd like for Eva, along with some funds to make more potions, acids and alchemist's fires. I'm willing to make anything the party would like as well. Loot for Eva:
Edit: Which, I remembered I can copy spells from a wizard book into formulas. If I can, I'd like to get the items of value out of our vile evil spellbook.
"I'll take that as a yes..." Eva pulls out a silver for Maggie and tosses it over.
Eva reaches in a pouch, gives Maggie a look. "If you get a silver, you'll stop trying to peck a hole in Lineera's head?"
