Not as far as I know.
Doing ok, but my computer is having problems so it;s hard to update my PbPs.

Maja's plan sounds good!
I might. He hasn't checked in with me on that one either, nor has the player of the sorcerer. Fortunately, the structure of the game makes it easy for new people to join the rebellion and become part of the inner circle.
"As appealing as it is to see home again," Idris says, and then pauses. "Huh. I guess I never noticed when Haven became 'home' for me. Anyway, as nice as that would be, we have a ways to go as yet. Let's press on and see what else we can see." -Posted with Wayfinder
Idris gets to know her own new horse that Milo has tamed for her. "You're a sorcerer, for sure, when it comes to animals, Milo," she remarks. "I wouldn't mind continuing the exploration. I'm still curious about that tower, but we can return another time."
Ugh, that's ridiculous. I installed windows 10 intentionally and had no problems with it, but it shouldn't do it without your permission. Glad you're back! If you feel the need to take a break in the future, please just let us know.
*taps mic* This thing still on?
"If they swear fealty to you, we'll probably have to send them food to help them through the winter. Two experienced hunters with five novices, probably won't be able to get enough to feed fifteen young ones. I won't have them be abandoned to starve!" Idris didn't expect to have this responsibility fall on her shoulders by killing the lizard king, but isn't going to shirk it.
"Obviously, I couldn't quicken the eggs myself, not without extremely powerful magic to transform my body into a lizardman, which would be very unpleasant for me to say the least. But if we decide to accept these lizardfolk as vassals, I would have the men draw lots or engage in some kind of competition, maybe a test of skill or a game of chance, to see who gets to act in my stead and be the sire of the next clutch of eggs. Or the women could choose their suitor themselves, as a group maybe, since they don't seem to want to do it the way humans and elves and such do, with each person picking a mate themselves. "Having a strong sire is important to having strong children, that much is certainly true. But I know at least something about breeding animals, and I've heard it applies to people as well -- having the sire and the dam too closely related leads to problems. When human noble families are too tightly entwined and inbred, children are born with the wit of a cabbage, or who can't stop bleeding when cut. "So that's my plan, assuming we don't just drive them away from here entirely and make them find other lizardfolk beyond our borders. Maybe we don't need to do that. I've got a feeling these fellows could be mighty soldiers."
Giving up on explaining things to the lizardfolk, who have too different a perspective right now, Idris defers to Seraphina and waits to see who comes out of the tunnel.
Idris chuckles. "What's your name, lizardman? So do you see me as your ruler now since I challenged your king to single combat and won?" "A harem? What an amusing idea. I don't expect to make the same use of it as the late king, of course! Even if I found lizardwomen attractive, Bara is somewhat of the jealous type. Hmm." She turns back to the lizardman. "What if we disbanded the harem? You men and the women would be free to find mates among each other as you wished. They could be something other than harem slaves and breeders, and you could have a hope of finding love, or at least sex, without having to achieve the rank of chief. It's possible that you could stay here even after we have claimed this land, if you agree to be our ruler's subjects." She gestures to Seraphina.
"I grew up in an orphanage, Kivan. A lot of us were there because our parents died and there was no one else who could provide for us. Some were there because our parents decided they just couldn't provide for us, so they left us. I don't even know which of the two I was. I guess we should have been destroyed too?" Idris is suddenly feeling unexpected compassion for the orphaned lizardfolk eggs.
"Maybe the soot scales would be willing to raise them? " Idris wonders. "Killing babies, even lizardfolk ones in eggs, seems just evil to me, no matter what practical reasons we have for doing it." -Posted with Wayfinder
"What's in the tunnel? Are there other lizardfolk tribes nearby? What do you expect us to do with you now?"
As the bloodlust fades, Idris walks over to Maja. "It was a good fight, he got me in the belly before I cut his leg off and dropped him. Could you close me up?" As she watches the others discuss the lizardfolk, she starts to have longer-term thoughts. "What are we going to do with them after this? Is this just a raiding camp, or are there young here?"
Idris charges through the muddy ground at the remaining reptile.
Crowing with victory, Idris turns to the reptile at her flank and strikes out twice more.
Grinning despite the pain, Idris laughs and strikes back. In Draconic, she taunts him, "I can do this all night, you ugly son of a b#!~!! My girlfriend gives me worse scratches than this at least twice a week!"
A +17 to break the grapple and a CMD of 27 against grappling is pretty strong, though -- she probably will be able to get out, if not this round, then next, if the crocodile even manages to maintain it against that number.
"Maia's in trouble!" Idris calls out. Striking out with magical speed, Idris slashes twice.
Idris laughs, "Nice toadsticker. Doesn't seem to have been used lately. As for mine..." She holds her Aldori sword high, letting the chief see the grooves that extend along its lengths. "Your life's blood will run down these grooves when I kill you. Now stop stalling, come out here and fight! Blood and Iron!" She waits, despite her bloodlust, having no interest in going into the hut to engage the chief and his three reptilian pets.
Sorry about that, Paizo's forums lost the 'track this thread' status on this campaign for me.
Are we still alive? It's been nearly two months. I'm guessing not.
Idris drops into a two-handed dueling stance, and beckons at the chief. "Let's go, big man," she says in Draconic, figuring the language of the kobolds might be understood here. "I challenge you! For the glory of battle! Gorum, guide my blade!"
Readied attack dice:
AoO if applicable:
Idris draws her sword as she runs forward, holding her bow in her other hand. She runs for the hut into which the lizardman fled and looks in before continuing her motion.

Idris moves around the side of the hut, using it for cover, and fires at the lizardman she can see next to the fire.
Idris steps up next to Milo, her bow at the ready, looking around for any foes.
Idris begins climbing down, as silently as she can. Part of her wonders if killing the lizardfolk is truly necessary, but the larger part is eager for battle.
Pretty sent me a PM back saying he is very busy right now but will rejoin the campaign soon.
Idris looks over the camp, looking for signs of alarm, and where their defenses and warriors are. -Posted with Wayfinder
I sent Pretty a PM.
I am so happy to see this come back to life. Has Pretty checked in since the hiatus? If not, has anyone sent a PM? -Posted with Wayfinder
YAAAAAAAAAAY!
I am too.
OK so all you guys and gals, if you're interested, here is the discussion thread I've set up to talk about playing a game of Hell's Rebels. I really like the people in this game and I'd prefer not to give up on playing with you all. So, if you're interested, come over and chat.
Sounds good, After the holidays I'll create a new thread and we'll see where we're at, at that time.
I hear you! When one has 5 kids, Christmas is less joyous, more stressful. -Posted with Wayfinder
I think so too, and that's very unfortunate. I hate to see this group break up, we've got a lot of really awesome roleplayers in here. I suspect Sera has found it necessary to devote a lot more of her time to her family, and so this kind of thing has fallen by the wayside - as it should in that situation, of course. Maybe in the future we can resume this if we all find we have more time available. I've seen more than one PbP campaign resume after long hiatuses. Sometime after the holidays, I may find time to start a new PbP campaign myself. How would you guys feel about Hell's Rebels?
Well, I didn't get a response to my email from Sera. Still hoping this will pick back up at some point.
I was wondering that myself. I also wonder if Sera is going to be back. I have her email, I think I'll send her a note and see how things are going.
"I'm not bad with a bow either. You want the rest of us to wait? What kind of a signal do you think we could use?"
"Would that give you time to rest and prepare more spells?"
"Maybe Kivan could make you fly with magic?"
"Finally, a real fight!" says Idris, looking forward to the coming battle. She oils her weapons and strings her bow in preparation. -Posted with Wayfinder
Everything alright, Red?
