Hey folks. Still not giving up. This campaign will continue. I went back to hospital for a bit... an infection... back home now. Prognosis is good, but my energy level is pretty low. I feel bad, because in the games where I am playing, I am firing off little posts (which is not usually my style) and this one is sitting. But I will continue. So thanks for bearing with me. I hope to get back on track soon.
This is a good group, and I have enjoyed seeing your banter so far. :)
Hey folks. My sincerest apologies about the holdup. Don't give up! The campaign will continue. I got sick last week, and what started as a bad cold became pneumonia, for which I was hospitalized. I've spent most of the past four or five days laid up, weak as a baby, doing a lot of sleeping. I was released this morning, and will do my best to get caugh t up ASAP. :)
And to you! I will resume posting tomorrow, but no rush for anyone.
I agree. I am open to suggestions, including this one. And I will do my best to post more often, if it is a concern. It's just been a busy time at work. But I am not going anywhere, fwiw.
Yeah, it gave me some grief when I linked the loot tracker, but this time it seems to have worked. Link added!
Right on, thanks! In addition to your tokens, I am creating journal entries for each character, and giving you rights to manage them, which in this case includes the built-in character sheet. Since we will be handling all gameplay here, and just using the map for visualization/combat, it's up to you whether or not you want to use it. I just wanted to present the option.
Trampled flowerbeds lie smeared and squashed across this muddy courtyard. As far as you can see, stark gray walls climb toward a narrow gap of sunless sky. There is a faint, but unpleasant, odor.
Okay, let's see how this goes. Here's the invite link: https://app.roll20.net/join/3934415/n1XlVw
Cellaich, you hear nothing out of the ordinary. It is eerily quiet.
Ah, super. I've only used it as a player, so I might well throw them your way. Biggest thing I'm trying to sort right now is copying the map from the PDF of the campaign maps into Roll20 in such a way that the size makes sense. I'm also at work, so I am giving it half attention, but yeah, I may well hit you up later.
DM dice:
Endol - Cellaich - Jagray - Pushing open the metal trapdoor at the top of the chute, you emerge into a 10x20 room with a closed door at the south end. You see nothing else in the room, except for what look like bloodstains and drag marks leading from the door to the chute you just climbed out of.
As each of you climb up, I'll need a Fort save, please.
Cellaich, I will now need a Fort save, please. The hook latches, and the rope can now be used to climb. Anyone attempting to climb the shaft will need to make a climb check for me.
Thanks, Amestri. Linked on the Campaign Info page.
You see nothing else of interest in this room, and the only apparent ways out are the door you came in through, and the chute with the bodies piled underneath it.
Cellaich, the stairs look sturdy enough to climb, but you can see that at the top they are blocked by a large pile of rubble, as though the walls of whatever is up there collapsed. Amestri, you notice that all of the corpses seem to have one thing in common: they are all wearing the same sort of button-up (formerly) white uniform the creature in the first room had on. A uniform of some kind, it would seem. You also find some coins and various little trinkets on some of the bodies.
A broad chute extends diagonally through one of this cellar’s half-crumbled stone walls. Beneath it lies heaped more than a dozen mutilated humanoid bodies. Nearby, a flight of rickety, wooden steps climbs toward the high ceiling—an escape none of the room’s current occupants seem capable of employing. The smell of rot and decay in the room is nearly overwhelming, and the buzz of flies hangs in the air.
I did, sorry about that. Work stuff got crazy. I am creating my alias now and will post in just a few moments.
Thanks for that, Cellaich. Yeah, my goog-fu is usually strong, but something odd is going on there. I will get set up with Roll20 ASAP.
Cellaich, you don't hear anything on the other side of the door.
I have played these before, though not for PFS credit because I don't really do PFS. I played as Poog. I'd be happy to play again as one of the others if you end up with an extra seat, but I wouldn't want to take one from someone who actually does want/need PFS credit.
Yeah, I selected 'Anyone with the link can edit' and then copied the URL from the share link button, and pasted it as-is. The first time, it seemed to work for Cellaich. I'll figure it out. Thanks for the help!
Yes, that's fine. And I am trying to figure out what's going on with the map link... I appreciate your patience, as I am new to the process. I will try to keep things moving along in the meantime.
Hello Oniwaban. Nice to met you. Nice to meet you, as well! Looking forward to playing together.
As it stands, I've built him with a longsword and shield, but I haven't taken any focus feats yet. Celad:

Hey all! Thanks for the invite, GM Dak! Looking forward to this. I will have build and alias up soon. Unless anyone has any thoughts or suggestions to the contrary, I will build him as a fairly standard Hospitaler paladin.
Thanks for selecting me. I hope you feel better soon. I will work on my alias and finalize build in the meantime. Looking forward to it!

You use the weapon's critical range, but the spell effect only deals x2 damage on a critical hit. Background:
Hadwyn has always been a smart kid, but jaded and a bit of a loner. It's not that he dislikes people. He just finds them to be a bit random, and prefers the orderly solitude of his studies. He's been taught by the sect, but uses most of the money he brings in from fishing to help further fund his book addiction and education. His magical ability is something he prides himself on. He assumes it comes from him part-elven heritage, but since his mother is human and doesn't speak much on "back then", he can't say for sure. Of late, he's been more and more restless, and longs for a chance to put the things he's learned to use, to test them in the real world and refine his knowledge based on the results. Recent events in the city may allow him to do just that...
Woot! Thanks for the heads up!
A cold, iron furnace hunkers in the corner of the basement, its four-foot-square door gaping half open. Nearby sprawls a heap of gory clothes and other dubiously flammable trash. Looking at the furnace, you believe that a small person could easily fit through the vent pipes leading up. Someone closer to your size might be able to get through, but it would be hard. As you look through the debris in front of the furnace, you see bones... you'd guess from at least six different creatures. You also find some things you recognize as being yours...
Sorry for hold up. Work stuff. :( I am working on a build for something I've never played before. I am thinking a staff magus, unless I hear a resounding chorus of boos. :D I will post here, soon.
The chest is empty, leaving the area around the corner the only place on this side of the door that no one has yet looked at.
My first attempt, so let's see how it goes. You should be able to edit and move your icons around. If I made a mistake (likely) do let me know. I placed everyone where I thought they were based on description, but feel free to move yourself if I am wrong.
Hello all! I am working out a build now and will post it shortly. Glad to be here! Oh, and should I create at level 2 to match the party?
oh we just take average HP here. Ah, okay, thanks. I will adjust.
No worries, Springy. I hope you're alright!
Well, maybe I'll look at Google Docs, too. See which one feels better. :)
Jagray, you find an assortment of small items in one sack: holy symbols from a few different faiths (including your own), what looks like a black bridal or funeral veil. The other sack contains more tattered and stained robes like the ones you are wearing. Cellaich and Amestri: The man gives a weak groan. Despite Amestri's efforts, he's still in bad shape. Voice weak, he says, "I'm not sure who I am... or why I'm here... or where this is. I woke here, to find that... blasted thing cutting on me... she told me... that I used to be a guard here." He stops, his head slumping back, gasping for breath from even this bit of effort.
In addition to the two cells you were in, which are directly across from each other, with the table the man is strapped to in-between them, there is another cell to the west along the north wall, but it is empty. At the west end of the room, there is a huge pile of rubble, which would be well beyond your capability to move, and an opening that leads around a corner along the south wall. Due east is the door the creature ran through. Sitting against the wall near the door are two large sacks, which appear to be fairly full.
The cleric and shifter are no longer with us. I am unable to edit this campaigns main page to reflect that. Ah, okay! Well, that helps some. Okay, I'll have a build put together shortly.
Hello, all. Glad to join you. I see you have a magus archer, a fighter archer, a dervish shifter, a shield-focused slayer, a melee-focused bloodrager, and a cleric. A few things came to mind, but I'd love feedback on what you all feel is missing... I saw mention of a healer and I am easily able to go that route. Heal-focused cleric or Warpriest of Desna or maybe Sarenrae
Other thoughts welcome! I will likely build something by this evening. Thanks, and I am looking forward to it.
Why not? - How much experience do you have with Pathfinder rules?
- How much experience do you have with Roleplaying in general?
- Are you familiar with PbP formatting and how to?
- Have you ever played the Risen from the Sands before, even just a little? (please be truthful)
- How many PbP games are you currently active in? Do you GM any?
- Will you be able to check the game at least daily or every other day to post? If not explain and we can work with you. Yes, no problem. - What type of characters do you like to play? Personality, Class, Themes! I usually play more serious characters. I like to play studious characters, even if they are only knowledgeable about their own job. As for themes, I like to explore things like the impact of adventurer actions, redemption, faith, free will and individualism. Oh, and I favor rangers and bards, but have also played fighters, clerics, druids, and monks extensively. And I am familiar enough with most other classes to be comfortable playing them.
The doctor ducks the hastily thrown rock and responds by throwing her cleaver towards Cellaich and bolting to the east. As she turns to run, she changes before your eyes, leaving a hairless, long-limbed creature with silvery skin in a bloody lab coat running for the door in the east wall. Concurrent with this, you see a woman from the cage on the other side with a bandage around her eyes step out and place a hand on the bound man, who sighs with relief at her touch, though he still looks plenty injured.
