I'd definitely be up for it, then!

If we switch to any sort of scenario where we have to all meet up to game at the same time, I'll probably have to drop out. No hard feelings, but I wouldn't want to do that, and I probably couldn't with my and my family's schedules.
They were upgrading the site and had some unexpected issues related to that. Their social media says that they're done.
Ompeet advances toward the badger in kind. When they finally meet, he gives a warning swing with his club.
Club and shield at the ready, Ompeet heads in the direction indicated. If he can encounter the beast non-violently, he’ll assess the situation to see if he can merely drive the beast off.
Ompeet doesn’t notice a damn thing.
Ompeet does the same. He's ready to go to the caves when the rest of the party is.
"So are we agreed then? We will return to the mines and leave the sea caves to you?" Ompeet nods. "What can you tell us about these caves? Are there parts to be explored underwater? If so, do you have more of those water breathing potions to assist?"
I often plan out my PC's levelling, but then I often forget what I've planned out by the time I actually level.
"Somebody was waiting for us," Ompeet begins, quietly but slightly accusatory. "They paid local mercenaries to ambush us. Fortunately, they failed. "Do you know of any people or entities who don't want the passage found?"
Ompeet unclasps the woman offers her a consoling pat on the shoulder and follows Melusine. As they head back to their contact, he'll dump any weapons or anything of value he took off of the captive by the side of the road.
As he unclasps her, Ompeet asks the ambusher if she's going to bury her friends here or try and move their bodies somewhere.
The "law" is just a social construct, so you are answerable to those you have wronged, not any "government" that claims to represent them. You're probably fine.
Ah, gotcha. No worries.
Ompeet: Socialist hominid ex-slave with a big stick and a serious side Where'd you get "slave" from? He's half "Indian" and half "African," but he was raised in India.
Ompeet moves forward to inspect the items the spirit-thing indicated.
Shield and club at the ready, Ompeet slowly moves forward.
despite Ompeet's "graceful" attempt at stealth.
Ompeet murmurs a low chant consisting of various deep grunts. When finished, he feels better prepared for action, should that be necessary.
Ompeet is not a stealthy person. So, he waits for the others to get to a position before trying to move forward.
Making sure that the woman is secured, Ompeet promises that they'll free her when they're done exploring the church. He takes the lead, finishing the exploration of the rest of this level. If there's any way to a higher floor, he'll go that way next.
Okay, I think we're waiting on the woman's responses to Ompeet's and Kha'Rassi's questions. Oh, I apologize. We're not waiting on that. You already gave us her answers.
Historian, I think we're waiting on you. Okay, I think we're waiting on the woman's responses to Ompeet's and Kha'Rassi's questions.
No intimidate checks succeeded but that hostage is definitely not cool anymore. Heh. Okay, I think we're waiting on the woman's responses to Ompeet's and Kha'Rassi's questions.
Ompeet with the hot take on Socialism He's going to get fairly ridiculous about it. :) Yeah that was awesome. Hope Melusine didn't freak you guys out too much. She's brash and drunk on power I wasn't sure if it was that, or if she's just reacting to the adrenaline and shock over just having easily killed people.
Ompeet squats down to eye level with the woman. "Ownership is an illusion. Unless your friends made those things themselves, they never really belonged to them in the first place." He smiles pleasantly. "But you're not done answering questions. Where can we find Olly? Don't worry; he's not in trouble. He didn't attack us."
"You did try to stab her," Ompeet says, indicating Melusine. "She's justifiably angry."
Ompeet pulls out his set of manacles and shackles the remaining ambusher to something solid. "I used these cuffs to chain myself to the gates of a mine near Maqnaa. A company was mining phlogiston from the earth there without any return to the villages that have lived on the land for centuries. They wouldn't even hire local workers!" Ompeet amicably tells the man as he works on stripping him of anything dangerous or useful. "Now," he stands and sighs, "let's start with 'who are you' and 'why are you here?'"
My name is Jeff, I'm 42, and I live in Houston. I played 1st edition (barely) in high school, but most of my years were spent with 2nd edition and 3.x. 4th edition never interested me, but I've heard that certain aspects to it are good, depending on your play style. I've heard good things about 5th edition, but I don't have time to cram another rules system into my head. I still sometimes find myself thinking in 2E rules before I catch myself. Having a job, marriage, and two small kids makes it difficult to get out for a regular gaming night, so I started looking around for online games... and I'm not even sure how I came across Pathfinder. I think it's definitely an improvement over 3.5, but it is well into the power creep that hurt 3.5. I'm looking forward to seeing what Pathfinder 2 offers.
If you edit a post do the rolls change? I realized I left damage off as soon as I submitted that post No, they don't. They are tied to your character until you submit them to a specific post, and then they are tied to that post.
"Kha'Rassi! The rafters!" Ompeet shouts before he casts shillelagh on his club and takes a step forward to give Melusine the protection she needs to cast her spells.
"Feel free to go back to that. We can stay out of each other's way. Just the two of you?"
Is Alisdair still around?
"Look, we just want to talk! We don't care at all who you are or why you're here. But I swear if you jump out at me or do anything to raise my heart rate I will crack your skull open. In self defense, of course." Ompeet heads around the balcony in the opposite direction of Kha'Rassi, not giving the catfolk's position away if he wants to stay hidden.
Ompeet catches Kha'Rassi's eye. He makes a climbing motion with his hands and points up to the balcony. He wonders briefly if Alexander can jump up to the balcony, but thinks it would be insensitive to ask. Instead he indicates the stairs up to the grippli, Melusine, and Alasdair with a jerk of his head and leads any of them that want to follow up it.
"Hello? He calls out again. May we talk to you?" He starts advancing into the church, noting where any potential stairs up may be, as well as any balconies that something above them may use to ambush them.
Shield in front of him, Ompeet has his cudgel in hand as he pushes the door aside and steps inside. "Hello?" he calls out.
"The church certainly sounds interesting. Is this church abandoned or still active? Either way, I like going there first."
I still check multiple times a day, but I think we're ready to *do* things now, rather than keep preparing to do so. We skipped over the first combat, so everything we've done so far has been underwater where we could barely communicate and then talking. Talking is good, but we also need action so that we have something more to talk about.
Putting his silverware down, Ompeet considers Edgar for a moment before asking, "Mr. Lowes, I have heard that people from Keldanny Island do not like people from Strand City. Is this true? If so, how much hostility are we going to encounter?"
Ompeet nods around a mouthful of potatoes. Then he spears a piece of fish.
"Let them be uncomfortable," Ompeet shrugs. "How others feel is not your concern."
Ompeet, who has opted not to buy anything, is distracted from his annoyance at having to safeguard the imaginary value that society has decided he "owns" (i.e. his gold) when he looks at The Azure. "Oh, she is indeed impressive, Mr. Lowes. You can tell she was built and is maintained by people who care about their craft." Ompeet boards the ship when whistle blows.
Ompeet listens to Lowes and the others' reactions. After mulling it over, he simply states, "I'm interested."
Ompeet tries to open the scroll case. If there's any resistance, he puts it down rather than risking breaking it.
@Ompeet: "Well, as you may or may not know, Arcanofauna are intrinsically linked to magic as a whole. Leylines, arcane bonds, residual magics; they're all connected with these animals. The simple fact much of our arcane repertoire so closely resembles Arcanofaunic magic can't be a coinci..." He trails off. "I'm sorry, 'bit of a rambler."
"What sort of experiments are performed?"
