He/Him | GMT+0200 (CEST) | The Sandstone Secret | Ambush in Absalom | The Silverhex Chronicles | The Wounded Wisp

Hello everyone.

I'm writing this post to apologize with you all about my behavior. I've been badly ill, then depression kicked in, and left you all by yourselves because I couldn't find the guts to face you and tell you that this adventure was over. I failed you, and for that I hate myself.

Today I've found some courage to write these few words to let you know that I'm alive, although not well. Depression is devouring me from the inside, and aside from that I'll most probably undergo surgery this Autumn because of my nose-related problems.

I don't feel I'm strong enough yet to don the mantle of GM once again, but I'm trying to get back into the hobby to try and fight against my mental illness. I'm going to see also some experts, see if maybe changing my meds will help, I don't know.

Again, I'm sorry for what I have done to you, how I treated you. I don't ask for your forgiveness, I don't deserve it, I just wanted to close this failed attempt at GMing and let you know that.

I hope you all will find better people then me to have fun with in the world of TTRPGs.

Hi y'all, I should be able to return to the tables after this weekend. I hope you won't mind having me with you again, I know I've been sick for a very long time (I still don't feel completely fine, hopefully next week will be better). In any case I'll try to post on Monday, have a nice weekend y'all!

Hey y'all, sorry for the prolonged silence. I still feel very s!$#ty, I don't really have the strength to put into PbP. I'm sorry, but for now I have to pause all my games on the forum. Tomorrow I'll finally get tested for COVID and I'll know what to do for this illness. Thank you for your understanding.

Guys, I'm very sorry, but I need a couple of days to get better. I caught a very bad cold, my head feels just like two balloons [cit.], I need some time to recovery. I'll try to write something Friday or Saturday, ok? Meanwhile I will get tested for COVID, hoping everything will be fine.

As you wake up from your slumber, you decide to visit one of the local taverns to get some food for breakfast. Here, Mina announces her decision to leave the group, she isn't really interested in this whole thing, and she decides to take the next caravan to get back to where she came from.

After breakfast you too look for a caravan, and manage to find one that brings you to Ustalav, more precisely to the county of Varno, in the southeast of the nation. You drop in front of a crumbling, moss-choked inn that stands alone at the road’s end. Looming over its squat frame, a dense curtain of foliage marks the border of the Forest of Veils. The sign above the door reads The Restless Bear, and it seems to refer to a stuffed bear’s head that lolls upon a flagpole near the eaves.

Hello GM,

Unfortunately, I have drop out of this game.

I currently really don’t feel my character and this reduces enthusiasm and motivation. I have to rethink the concept and probably rebuild.

I hope I didn’t cause any inconvenience.

Have fun everyone!!

Ok Mina, sorry to see you go. I hope you'll find the right character to play soon :)

It's late in the morning now, and Mayor Uptal is walking toward the town's temple of Erastil. When he knocks on its wooden doors he is welcomed by a young acolyte. The man asks to see Father Prasst and Loges, so the acolyte asks him to wait while he goes looking for them.

Neera quietly opens the door. In this room all she sees is some kind of camp, a place that someone is using to rest in the ruins.

Teraren's arrow takes care of one of the lizardry humanoids, while Asu's pistol just barely scratches another's scales changed Asurielle's target to Blue, since Green was already gone.

The little monsters keep on with their barrage of stones, this time aiming at Darzus.

Blue moves 10 feet north.

Sling (Red): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Sling (Yellow): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
Sling (Blue): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Damage (Red): 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0 1 nonlethal.
Damage (Yellow): 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0 1 nonlethal.
Damage (Blue): 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0 1 nonlethal.

No mistakes, none at all says the mayor, the council thought you should have a chance to prove yourself. We know your life hasn't really been a walk through a flowery field, so we thought you would like to get the chance to show the whole town you're more than meets the eyes.

Mayor Uptal pauses for a moment, Asina, may I have a cup of milk? Thank you dear. The man stands up and gets closer to Drehm, don't think we chose you just because you have been less fortunate than others though, we made this choice because we see potential in you, and we are entrusting the town's future in your hands. This is a serious task, understood? He then sits back at the bar, drinking the fresh cup of milk Asina brought him.

Well, I have to go now, people to see, places to visits. Everyone, it has been very good to see you all doing well. Drehm, be ready, three days from today, on midday, at the town square. He looks the half-orc dead in the eyes, don't disappoint us. He then takes his leave.

Matéo opens the drawers of the desk and finds a collections of notes apparently written by some Selmius Foster, one of the founders of the Society. There are some annotations signed "Adolphus" attached to them.

The notes are a collection of drafts about exciting adventures and personal exploits, probably materials for a Pathfinder Chronicle that has never been printed.

Please read the handouts on Slide #8.

You spend the night at Ulisha's place, you don't need to pay anything since she paid upfront for a month. You have, however, one of the toughest decisions a group has to make: who sleeps in the bed? There's only one, so fight for it to the death!

Jokes aside, the rest of the night passes quietly and you get up the morning after: what do you do?

Perception (Neera): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Neera peeks into the corridor, she sees it goes on for 60 feet more or less, and there are two doors along it and one at the end. It seems to bend again to the south.


He/Him | GMT+0200 (CEST) | The Sandstone Secret | Ambush in Absalom | The Silverhex Chronicles | The Wounded Wisp

Good morning Drehm, I see you are well says the mayor to the young half-orc, the Silvers here were worried I came her because you may have made some trouble in town, did you young man?

Mayor Uptal gives a stern look at Drehm, but then burst into an hearty laugh Ha ha ha, don't worry my boy, I'm not here to punish anyone! In fact, I'm here to announce that you've been chosen as one of the six young men and women who will bring back the Everflame to Kassen! Aren't you excited?

As usual the mayro gives everyone some time to react to the news, meanwhile he sits on a stool by the bar.

With a single hit from his weapon, Zamin is able to part the body of the monster in two perfect halves.

Moe is now covered in disgusting arachnoid entrails! No mechanical effect, just took his suggestion.

Fifth character to be visited by Mayor Uptal: 1d2 ⇒ 1 Drehm "Pocks"

Just before Drahm gets the chance to get out of the Seven Silvers Inn, a well dressed man enters from the front doors. Good morning Trelvar his voice says heartily, getting ready for another day of work? Oh, and good morning to you Asina, always a pleasure to see you.

He accosts the bar and asks Mr. Silvers I am looking for one of your waiter, the young Drehm, do you know perhaps where I can find him?
