I'm disappointed, but I understand the situation you're in. If you ever feel like starting any of your games back up down the road, you know where to find me. Thanks for playing everyone, and may you all be blessed going forward

Ogochukwu does an object reading on the trap, the game, and any empty containers in the tomb (if there are a lot of them he'll just do the big ones, like sarcophagi) Object reading: Object Reading (Su): At 2nd level, an occultist learns how to read information from items he examines. Examining an item in this way requires him to spend 1 minute handling the item. If the item is a magic item, the occultist learns its properties and command word as if he had successfully examined the item using detect magic and succeeded at a Spellcraft check. This ability does not reveal whether the item is cursed unless the occultist’s class level is equal to or greater than the caster level of the item. If the item has any historical significance, the occultist learns one piece of information about its past (as determined by the GM). Finally, if the item was last used no longer than 1 day ago per the occultist’s class level, the occultist learns one piece of information about the last creature to use the item. This information might be a glimpse of the creature’s appearance, a brief vision of what it saw while using the item, or perhaps its emotional state when it last used the item. The GM determines what information is gained in this way. This functions like the psychometry occult skill unlock (see below), but doesn’t require a skill check and can be used at will.
--- Psychometry (Appraise) You can read the psychic impressions left on objects or in places by previous owners and events. Check: Once per day, you can concentrate for 1 minute while in physical contact with an item or location, during which you receive flashes of insight regarding the subject’s nature and ownership. After 1 minute, you attempt a DC 15 Appraise check to decipher the visions. You gain one piece of information about the historical significance or the last previous owner—such as a glimpse of the last owner’s appearance or its emotional state when it last used the item—determined by the GM. You learn one more piece of information for every 10 by which your check result exceeds the DC, as long as you concentrate for 1 additional minute for each piece of information. If you fail the check by less than 5 or the item has no significant psychic imprint, you don’t learn any information. If you fail this check by 5 or more, the item appears to be psychically significant even if it’s not, and the information you gain is wildly inaccurate. If you attempt to use psychometry on an item affected by charge object or implant false reading, you automatically learn all information imprinted by the spell. You must also attempt a Will save. If the item is affected by an implant false reading spell, on a success, you realize the information was false, and can determine the true information as well. On a failure, or if the item is affected by a charge object spell, you believe the information is true. Action: Reading an object requires at least 1 minute of uninterrupted concentration. Try Again: Yes. Multiple readings on an object or place always give the same results unless its circumstances or ownership have changed, but additional checks might reach further back into an object’s history. You don’t reroll the saving throw to determine if a psychic imprint is false. You can still use psychometry only once per day.
No worries, I haven't had enough time this week to stay on top of my games either
"Can any of you disable this trap? If not, I am good with my hands, eh?"
"I am glad I found you, my new friends. I have been wandering around in here since my old friends told me where to find you. It is not good to be alone in this place, eh?"
Ogochukwu rejoins the group, introduces himself, and checks for any other entrances.
I went ahead and updated his profile with the assumption I could continue forward with loot as-is.
WBL for a level 5 PC is 10,500gp. When I stopped playing at level 3 I had 11,210gp in gear alone, and another 7308.85gp in coinage, for a total of 18,518.85gp. I would prefer not to downgrade to level 5 WBL but will do as you prefer GM. Most of the wealth is tied up in 3 items; the headband I bought, the adamantine flail, and the tablet of languages lost. The rest is mostly scrolls and a wand. So he doesn't have most of the "big 6" items (though he does get resistance and a strength belt from his class abilities).
I'm mostly done getting Ogochukwu ready; I just need to pick a feat and handle his equipment upgrades. Any feat suggestions?
Bummer, just 5
Ok, I will tag in once there is a good point in the story for me to do soYou ready to hop in here? If so, I’ll tag out for a while… Yes! Well, I'm not sure I ever finished leveling up to level 5 and it will be a few days, but other than that yes I'm ready. GM, how do you want to introduce me? You can PM me if you prefer though I only check my PMs here once every few days.
Ok, I will tag in once there is a good point in the story for me to do so
It is up to you. I don't want to kick anyone out that is enjoying the game, and like you I am in many games and wouldn't mind waiting until Gameday X resumes to join back in. Certainly in-game it would be strange for Ogochukwu to appear at the moment, as far as I can tell.
I spoke privately with the GM and I'll stand by in case someone drops. There are 8 PCs so I would make 9, which is just way too many.
Hello all, I am wondering if it would be possible for me to return to this game? I'm catching up on the gameplay thread now. If I do return, what level would I need to be? Presumably I would want to upgrade my gear to the appropriate WBL?
After some consideration I have decided I need to take an indefinite hiatus from nearly all of my games. Please continue without me. If that means there is not a spot for me when I return, I will understand. You can bot me or just remove me from scenes as you see fit; whatever is best for the party. If my PC dies due to botting decisions I will not be too aggrieved. My energy levels are just too low and my burnout and disinterest is just too high. I need to be able to focus on taking care of myself without pressure from myself to return to my games. Things will probably get better once I get into a habit of regular exercise, which could be as soon as a few weeks from now. Don't worry about me, though. I am doing okay. I live with my wife and 3 kids and that helps keep me from being totally dejected. Taking care of them, spending time with them, etc. Continues to bring a lot of meaning and purpose to me life. I also talk to a therapist every two weeks and have some other friends I keep in touch with.
I'm still really burnt out. I'm hoping it will pass, but this is still less important to me than getting some other things in my life sorted (hopefully those things will make play by post easier for me also).
Sorry for my extended, unexcused, unexplained absence. I have been feeling burnt out. But not specifically on my games; feeling burnt out on pretty much all of my normal routines. I'm taking steps to snap out of it over the next few days and I hope to resume posting soon.
"I will miss you, Seeker. You have been a stalwart companion. "
I think that's everything. Most of my modifiers will go up by 1. I am almost finished leveling but still have to make a few choices... Mainly need to figure out what Focus Power I'm going to learn, and maybe also pick my next Implement school. Etc. Better get on that!
Also, Ogochukwu us going to buy one of the funerary masks.
I have no objection if people want to do chronicle sheets and set them up - as I am participating in 7 games I'm afraid I don't have the time to do those too. Sounds good to me. I put it on my to do list; will get to it in the next few weeks
This all works for me. I'll add a spring loaded wrist sheath and the potion to my character sheet. Can you update the loot total with these subtractions (and the ones I posted above)?
Sorry for not replying sooner. This sounds great to me. GrandLounge, your merfolk Oracle seems like a weird fit for the campaign, but a good fit for the party. I am curious how they came to be in Wati
We usually just put it on our profile for the character. You can see mine if you click on my name
** spoiler omitted **... Regarding loot. I have these items on my sheet: LOOT (400gp) masterwork composite longbowLOOT (???gp) masterwork adamantine heavy flail LOOT scroll of detect secret doors LOOT scroll of paralysis LOOT tablet of languages lost LOOT scroll of align weapon LOOT scroll of halt undead LOOT scroll of knock LOOT wand of lesser restoration 10/10 I'm happy to hand the scrolls and wand around to another caster that wants them. Each of them seem like party resources to me; I just nabbed them to make sure someone had them. And I think we should keep these also:
I think you roll 2 hit dice and take the average?
I have no objection if people want to do chronicle sheets and set them up - as I am participating in 7 games I'm afraid I don't have the time to do those too. My offer from the hell's rebels game stands to put the chronicle sheets together and report the game. I can probably just reuse the event number you made for that one.
Hey GM, can we do chronicle sheets for book 1?
Swiss Army Mage is my "+1"
I think so! Am confirming now. Sorry, most of my RSS feeds got messed up so I haven't been getting notifications
I think that is 4hp unless there is a minimum hp value.
I took the liberty of inviting someone else to join; hope we are alright with 5! GM, is that alright with you? If you want to stick with 4 so you don't have to adjust encounters or whatever, that's fine with me. Let me know either way so I can tell them.
Do we need to adopt a "standard operating procedure" to make the dungeon go by faster? It is more work for the GM but makes dungeons much smoother IMO. I did it for most of Emerald Spire and we made great time.
Yeah, I think we should.
Ogochukwu slashes at the mummy creature
Ogochukwu stands by with his bardiche ready.
"Yes, we would probably talk to him. " Ogochukwu says. He does his best to explore the new room.
Sorry to see you go Cymric. I enjoyed having a shared backstory to the extent that we did. -- Are we going to find another player? I liked playing with Azwynn and checked to see if she was back on the site... turns out she *is* on the site but she just totally ghosted us last time :(
Ogochukwu frowns, uncomfortable leaving the room further explored, but opts to follow Shukara's lead. "Nice work" he whispers to her
"Who intruded here before us? " Ogochukwu asks
Expecting trouble from the skeleton, Ogochukwu switches to his flail. "Are you the guardian of this place? " he asks it
Ogochukwu nods and moves to the west with Seeker
Ogochukwu also has a drink from the waters of the pool. "Any magic in here?" he asks Shukara and Cymric as he searches the room
Ogochukwu follows Seeker, agreeing with his praise of Cymric.
