Ah yes, being this far south I DO miss snow.

I mean, I don't miss SHOVELING it, or driving in it particularly. But I do miss snow. :)

The good news is, we're so far south, that no one here knows how to deal with it, nor do we have any equipment to help the roads, so when we DO get some (See last years southern-snow-pocalypse) we get shut down COMPLETELY.

It's basically a vacation, play-in-snow-day for us! :D


Ack, I take ONE lil trip to play in Universal Florida, and SO many posts! :P

Seriously, Hope the lil one is OK, Having a sick lil one is the worst. Even if its not 'bad', you just feel so helpless for not being able to make them feel better! :(

And Aged Wizzie is back! (Mostly, Physically anyway. Mentally I'm still in Harry Potter world!) ;P

I will catch up. Eventually. HOpefully tonight. :)


(Real) Life can be SUCH a pain! :P

Is OK, take care of biz, we'll be here!


And Aged Wizzie is back! (Physically. Mentally still enjoying Harry Potter world) :P

I will catch up, hopefully soon-ish. :D


Thank you good sir!
FYI I made it safe to Florida
(I don’t like long drives)

man, it IS a pain to format posts on the phone!
:P


I can provide a basic plan that I have for Justin in this battle with mummy-archers.

(once recovered from whatever the nasty poison is)

1- Take out the archers first, following Merle's example and using Magic Missile (His Evocation power version, I used the memorized spell in the LAST battle with the Mummy/medusa!) He can do that 6 more times I think?

2- He does have an uber fireball spell (or 2) memorized, but he can also launch unlimited number of Mini-fireballs, one per round, up the highest level he has a fire spell still uncast. (Currently 6d6 mini-fireballs)

3- While taking cover, or at least staying in the obscuring cloud for now, he will also be making K: checks to figure out what is up with the funky magic barrier/energy around the Sarcophagus? Including burning questions like: WHy is there a missing object in the ring? and How do I shut it down? (without getting fried!) :P

He also has several other attack and actually useful spells still memorized, and a wand of Lightning if Fire becomes a bad idea. <Justin>("Fire is NEVER a 'Bad Idea! You take that back!")</Justin>

All of this is in his Char Sheet. IF anyone wants to bother with it. :)
If not? No worries. I will be trying to check in when I can.
And, an accidentally comatose Wizzie actually plays into an upcoming update post I have been playing around with in my mind.

HAve fun guys!
(And, keep the wizzie alive, If you can, Please?) :D


Hey all,
Just a reminder,
(Or a notice, can't recall if I posted this in all threads already?)

I will be leaving for Universal Studios in Florida ONE. MORE. TIME. (This year.) Before my Annual Pass expires.

So, running AWAY from Mardi Gras in Lousy-Anna, To universal Studios, where they are currently celebrating Mardi Gras.
>_<

Meh. Even when I WIN, I lose! :P

SO, I will be out of state, out of touch, (And I'm already dang near Out Of My Mind) for the next week.

Great timing, I know! Being in the middle of combat in Multiple threads!

Sorry, But this is my wife's and I last splurge before I have to stop spending $$$ on myself, and figure out how I'm going to pay for my daughters' wedding. Next Jan 2nd.
<Facepalm>

I will be happy to check in on my phone, If I can make that work with the newest upgrades to the Paizo system, but my guys may be very uncommunicative for the next 7 days. :P

Thank you all, and Happy Mardi Gras!

Crud-muffins! I take ONE afternoon from checking the posts! :P
Catching up,...


THAT would also make sense.

Although, I always considered Karrin less of a meat shield, and more of an axe-weilding Sushi-Chef at a fancy restaurant! :D

Based on this list, RAW, you already cleared Harrowstone Prison! These are the bonus foes I added to the adventure. :-)

Fire probably shouldn't be able to damage a magical forge hammer, but that was an awesome character moment.

I haven't seen many players willing to destroy magic items for the sake of roleplay. I'm impressed.

It was cool! :)

The MULTIPLE attacks really made the moment, I think.

All good! Crazy time of year.

I came 'back to work' on Jan 2, (Rest of University was closed until Mon, Jan 5) :P and My next day(s) 'off' isn't until NEXT week, Mardi Gras!

Oh I will be taking advantage of those days. believe me.

Well don't get TOO drunk you need to post!

Welllll,..... ;P

Actually, since you brought it up, I havent even had time to get a good buzz for my Birthday yet! :P
Too. Dang. Busy. :(

Seriously, my plans are to once again spend (WAY) too much $$$ and take one last trip to Universal Florida before my Annual Pass expires.

And since, somehow, the stars have aligned, and this Mardi Gras week I have NO events on the stage I run, (THAT has NEVER happened in the last 18+ years!) I am taking the week off and going!

(Funny thing is, I'm going to 'escape' Mardi Gras in Lousy-Anna, but Universal is having Mardi Gras!) >_<

I'll be happy to try and check in on my phone. (I DO luv this game!)
But even if I can, at least you will be protected from my usual novel-length posts for a week! :D

You're welcome. :D

For some reason I just got the idea and ran with it.

Whatever the details of their shared history, apparently Sterling is just flabbergasted/annoyed by the fact the fight is happening, and usually-eager-to-fight-Cole seems to be distracted and/or elsewhere.

(It was hilarious in my head. I hope it translates well to the PbP)
:P

I was entertained!

Annnnnd,... my work here is done! :D

ROFL!
I JUST realized,...
Literally MERE MOMENTS after Justin declares that the Statue-fied folks are stuck that way for a while,...

Justin wrote:

"Sorry to disappoint you Merle, and Hamar, But the rest of these are not moving anytime soon. Unless Memnon is capable of whipping up some ancient super-potion I'm not familiar with? These poor souls are stuck like this until someone with some high-powered transmutation magic comes along to return them to their original, fleshy, forms."

"I've heard of magics that can imitate a medusa's or a gorgon's petrification attack. And reverse it. But I don't have anything like that in MY spellbook. Honestly not certain I could even cast that yet."

And then Merle IS the person with "Some high-powered transmutation magic"?!?

If I were the suspicious type, I'd say that Merle did that JUST to one-up the wizard. (And not get smacked by Seph) :P

And honestly, I'm there for it! :D


Dervish in the party or not, I've always thought Spring Attack sounded awesome.

"I touch you, Now you can't touch me. I touch you, Now you can't touch me,..."

This platform suffers from a lack of emojis
Honestly, I've never been sure why, but I can't stand the things myself...

I think I understand what you're saying David, BUT I have to agree with the Dungeon Monkey on this one.

The more I use and explore the digital world of communication, the more I'm convinced we NEED emojis to communicate via text , chat & emails.
And the more I find myself using them.

(Although, honestly, back when I first got a cell phone, I was 100% with you!) :)

Nowadays, I'm agreeing with my mother,
1 text is fun.
2 texts is fine,
If you text me a 3rd time? You're getting a phone call. Because obviously this is NOT a discussion that can be easily held over texting! :P

Merle updated took maximise spell, combat casting for feats, Chain lightning, cone of cold, Tongues communal and stone to flrsh for spells (Last one may prove to be interesting here.)

Indeed! nice selection.

IIRC, in the old 1e & 2e days (And maybe early 3.0?) the flesh to stone (and stone to flesh) was the same spell, just reversable/castable either direction. Meaning you could make like a medusa during battle, and then reverse it later. If you wanted to. :D

Never gotten high enough level to think about taking it in a 3.5/PF1 game before. Not sure what it is now?


Hello Teo! :D

Wait, based on I/C response to Karrin are we leveling mid-Pyramid adventure?
Looks like. Pretty sure we've leveled up after combat mid-adventure before.

Coolio!

To re-post my IG comment,
"Holy Smokes Batman! Lucky level 13?!?!?" ;P

I may wait on the wizzie, most of his level-up bonuses (more spells!) can't be done without a 'long rest' anyway. And I've been mulling over an idea. :) (Don't worry. It's a calm posty-thought idea. Calm for me anyway.) :P

Oh yeah. THAT'S not creepy at all,... O_o


Busy busy busy,
But MY busy is stuck at work! :P

Have fun and safe trips everyone!


Sorry! Been a busy week(s).
Catching up now! :)


All good, between long week, and weather-worries, and actual work, I just pulled a 16.5 hr day.

I'm tired, my feet hurt (new tennis shoes), and I'm looking forward to sleeping IN tomorrow! (And to the comp time.) :D


Yeah, while I do not think that we are getting nearly anything like the those north(er) of us in South-Lousy-anna, They are concerned enough about it that the renter cancelled tomorrows show.

So, between 'Preview Day' for the University, (AKA='please come give us your money day'), and two shows, and a strike and reset for the renters 2nd show, I just pulled a 16.5 hour day.

I'm tired, and my feet hurt (new tennis shoes) but at least I have Comp time to look forward to! :D


Sheesh.

I am just busy juggling multiple events at an auditorium and attached music building on a campus. Long weeks, long days, etc.

I'm busy. But not THAT busy! :P

ROFL! At least he's HONEST about it!?! :P

And a very important distinction to make.

I like your phrasing. 'HELPS keep him out of jail" as opposed to 'Keeps him out of jail.'
I suspect we will be getting some very interesting stories around the campfire. That Cole started. ;)


Well, as a person who usually plays very squishy cater-types, I am certainly guilty of having been a participant of the '15minute adventuring day', especially back in 1E, when 1st lvl wizzies only had ONE spell slot. :)

I am probably still in that mind-set. Habit. Clerics are certainly hardier than wizzies, And this guy has some Monk to help him out.

IIRC I have only cast one spell out of 3, and only used 1 healing/energy burst, Sterling is good to go. (A lil Wis-dmg'd, but still viable)


OK with me, :)


Sad, but true.

But, when it's pretty much my ONLY option for games at this point in my life? I'll take the risk! :D

Patrick has managed to pull in and be more active in his other games, Maybe he'll be able to move in from off-screen/DMPC status? :)

Hope reigns supreme!

It is always sad to lose a player mid game (fight?)
But with PbP, it is usually RL rearing it's ugly head to interfere.

(Stoopid RL, messing with my fantasy life!) :P

I hope "Teo" is ok. :)

I'm torn between healing Sergei now or blasting Splatter Man with fire first.

We do have at least one other healer, hence my uncertainty.

As your Attorney I advise you to heal Sergei as your other healer goes AFTER Splatter Man in round 2....

When the Shadowy Lawyer speaks, EF Hutton listens! ;P

I mean, It takes me at least three rounds to kill a normal size cockroach.

Also, IRL, I'm not sure the stunned condition applies to pests like it does 'normal' creatures. Like mammals. :P

Thx much, I do appreciate it.

It will ALL be fine, eventually. :P

I am going to have a great vacation with my wife.
If my son would like to re-join the general population and go on some roller coasters with me, Bonus! :P

Unless I get VERY bored in a LONG ride line (Unlikely, I dont do long lines anymore) and check the PbP's on my phone, I will probably miss everyone th erest of the week.

SO, to make sure I say it in time,

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

First full day there, I'M going to have a Margarita and Cheeseburger in Paradise in Margaritaville!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL! AND TO ALL A GET SLOSHED! ;D
