Well, that sounds like a full and fulfilling evening! ;)

Tomorrow it is!

And Justin looks over his shoulder,
And realizes that everyone else in the group has taken a step backwards,...
O_o

;P

I think I Am going to give the purple winter solstice ornament broader skills while sacrificing his higher scores in some of his K skills. He’s more of a jackass of all trades.

Yes. Yes he is.

Works for me!

Apologies for the attempt to dodge the AI scraping spidders- but you’re a meatsack, you’ll figure it out.

LOL.

ROFL- Bold of you to presume I'm that smart! ;P

(ThenkYew)

Rags, I know you made stats for Memnon at some point - could you post them here? I want to file them on the alias I have for reference. I might tweak a few as well

Yes I did,

Memnon's build are currently in what I laughingly call "VERY long form".

A many-page word doc starting with our build of 'Spirits who inhabit vessels' in general, and ending up with a list of probably good choices for Memnon's particular set of skill point choices. ;P

I never have gotten around to actually picking his sub-class, since he can't really use bombs, (At least not when starting out, although he could now using mage hand I guess?) I figured pick a sub class that removes them anyway?

If you trust me with an email, I can probably just email it to you.
(You can PM me whatever you want me to email it too)
Otherwise, I'll at least post Memnon's current (mostly-built) build under my version of his profile here. Give me a minute. Or three,... ;)

THAT clip is funny, and totally appropriate to our group.

(AND correct!) ;P

Man I do miss the Sat morning cartoons.

This is an improv endeavor. Quite honestly, if there is something I have learned in my 45 years of playing, it's that you have to be flexible. This scenario isn't going as I had envisioned, and that's ok. They rarely do.

Yeah, sorry about that... but uh, you should never send a Barbarian in to look at technological crap!

Yeah, totally fair. ;P

You ARE the one of, (if not THE) best at 'taking it and running with it' that I have ever met. :)

For good AND 'not so good', You always run with it!

(Wizzie who shall remain unamed giving a Power-erased name to a friggin group-mind MODRON anyone?!?!?)
>_<

;P

Always fun!
Just one of the many things that makes me keep staying and coming back for your games!
:D

Lockdown! Heh.

=)

Heh,... ;P

That is,... cool.

Amazing what you can figure out how to do things, when others aren't telling you that you 'cant do it that way'!

Roman candle muskets, sheesh, that sounds,... dangerous, now that I think about it,... O_o

LOL<
Yeah, me too!
Sadly, I will be at WORK on Sunday, loading in a week-long rental.
(They ALWAYS bring TOO MUCH STUFF, too many set pieces, and too big!) ;P

So I am taking the Wife out for Mothers Day on Sat.
MAy not get the 'special deals', but we miss the crowds. ;)

Apologies,
But did I mention that Justin/Ragadolf really needs to work on his impulse control? ;P

Pat, I really wish I could get you and one of my best friends 'Tiny', (ALSO Pat) in the same room together.

Between your and his adventure-game creativity, the resulting brain-storm(s) would flatten most 3rd party (and probably some primary) adventure-publishers! :)

Yah, RL stinks, and keeps people from checking in.
Often for Looooooong periods of time! ;P

Hopefully all is OK, and our 'guards' are just busy, and can hopefully re-join us soon! :)

Apologies in advance for if (WHEN) that happens to me. ;P
My job goes from 'this week will be easy' to
"Holyeeheckwhatisgoinonhere?!?!?!"

Without warning. >_<

I meant I read the thread from the start, not that I read the adventure as in the book :) I don't own any pathfinder books, everything I need for PbP (the only way I play PF) is on pfsrd.

LOL, A very important distinction! :)

LOL<
Oh wait, thats not funny. :(

I know the feeling!

Even AFTER my escape for Easter Break (FINALLY, only took 3 years) my brain is still on overload-default.

RL is overrated. Sometimes anyway. ;)

sounds like a plan!

The more I think about it, the more I like the punishment question angle.

It may (or not) provide info on the inner workings of the place. Certainly might give us insight as to how a convicted bad-guy turned into a WIGHT.

There.
THAT oughtta get the party started. :D

(Or NOT. Hopefully. If I'm being honest.) ;P

Seemed like something our impetuous wizzie would do.

(He REALLY needs to work on his impulse control!)
>_<

I'm glad youre still here! ;)

Crossing fingers and toes! :D

Ok,...
So, we're doomed huh? ;P

At least THIS time I'm not playing a High-Int PC. I'm not 'dumb' IRL (usually), but I'm not gonna pretend I'm genius-lvl either.

So I, I mean my PC, won't feel 'bad' if he doesn't figure out something. ;P

:D

Wow, I hadn't recalled that we got that dark so early! ;P

I enjoyed the Graphics initially, but as he went farther down the rabbit hole in later releases I began to like them less.

I think the movie adaptation could have been better but I was entertained by it, better than much of what Hollywood does these days that's for certain!

I wouldn't even say that I did not 'like' the original Graphic Novel. I liked it enough. Just thought it was a bit 'dark' for my taste.

I 110% agree with your assessment of the movie. :) Could have been better? Sure. Was I entertained? Yep!

I would trade with him in a second if I could. I've always wanted to visit/live in New Zealand.

One of PbP GMs lives in NZ I think.

I lived in England for two years when I was in the USAF. Loved/hated it.

Hah! Sounds about right.

From what I hear, the best description of "English" weather was a line from the movie adaptation of the graphic novel "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen".

Quote= "Dress for an English Summer,"
Next scene- Pouring torrential rain in London. ;P

Wellington. We are generally windy at the best of times, but yesterday was a bit on the gusty side even for us. Much calmer today.

Woswers. Again. O_o

NZ huh?
Beautiful country, (Although All I've ever seen of it has been from Hercules/Xena & Lord of the Rings panoramic shots) ;)

CRAZY weather. Apparently. ;P

Hang in there, and be careful!

And we have 140kmh winds and 12m waves at the moment, so a bit dodgy here.

Wowsers.

Where ARE you?!? Sounds like Lousy-Anna Wannabe during Hurricane season!

LOL!
Like I said, either way,... ;P

(HE wins?!?) ;)

Stoopid RL.
Always getting in the way of my funs!

;P

ROFL!
All we can do is try our best! ;)

Thank you!

Honestly, hard to tell who will have more fun.

The nostalgic parents re-living the glory days of Video games and monster movies? Or the kid who loves video games. :)

Either way, YOU BOTH WIN! ;D

Annnnnnnd I'm back.

Working on catching up.

Fun Fact.
The new Universal Studios theme park, "Epic Universe"?
I scored preview passes and went 1 day last week.
It. Was. Epic. :D

Cant wait until it opens, and all the crowds and newness gets worn off, so I can go back and see it again! ;P

They did great on everything.
The 'dark ride' of "Frankenstein: Monsters Unleashed" was like being IN a classic old-time horror movie! FUN! :)

Have fun Rags! I’m finishing my final project, and then I’m graduating my college course! At the tender age of almost 58 >.<.

I am certifiable

LOL!

No worries, my wife went back a few years ago to add another couple of certifications to her Already-existing Teachers Cert.

After realizing it was only a 'few' more classes, she now has her Masters Degree in Education, AND lots of cool certifications, at the tender age of 56! ;)

Just a note,
I'm actually getting out of my house (and town, and state!) again. (For the SECOND time in as many months!)

I am making the most of my available Spring break at work (university) and my better-ness after the past 3 years to get out and hopefully have some fun!

SO, I will probably NOT be available for this next week. Leaving Sat early, returning Fri night late.

I will be in a hotel with free wifi, I just dont intend to spend much time in said hotel other than sleeping.;P

PLease bot as needed, and I hope everyone has a Happy Easter!

I'm sorry to hear that.

LOL- ah yes, the bane of my adventuring existence.

Choices & Decisions!

Choices, even when none are actually 'right' or 'wrong' or 'better or worse' than the others, throws me for a loop. ;P

(I used to be REALLY bad in line at a fast food place!)
>_<

SO what order do we try things?

Spirit Planchette first?
OR 'Speak with Spirits' first?

Or does anyone else have any talking-to-dead skills they haven't spoken up about yet?!? ;)

So we'd only get ONE question from the Planchette per day. An any answers are usually 'Yes', 'No', 'maybe', OR a 1-word answer.

We would have to brainstorm a heckuva question to get any real info with it.
>_<

Though I have to say - a mummy-run pyramid spelljammer ship is a hell of an idea. I’m gonna salt that away for later

Rags/Justin looks forward to it. With both Anticipation, and dread. ;)

Pat, is this pyramid one giant Egyptian inspired Spelljammer?

OK, I honestly don't know how to respond to that?!?

My FIRST response was "STOP giving the GM ideas!"
(Because I usually give him scary ideas) ;P

My SECOND response was, "That would actually be really cool!"

My THIRD response is, Justin screaming "STOP SMASHING!" because he just realized they may have discovered something really cool, like a pyramid/spelljammer! ;P

Oh Good Grief!

That sounds,... terrible. (At least paperwork-wise?!?)

Hang in there!
Best wishes, prayers, positive thoughts, ALL the good things!

PS- They ARE looking at hiring MORE paras, RIGHT?!? O_O

in answer to your in-game question,
Sterling REALLY wants to leave the ('cursed'?) Prisoners items in the high-security vault.

I see no reason we cannot take the 'normal' items with us (YAY! LOOT!) ;P
And in fact, I thought we had already grabbed it all. (?)

Although, we may not want to start counting or divvying it up in front of the townsfolk. They dont NEED to know (Yet) that we are a bunch of opportunistic treasure-grabbers! ;P

Although to be fair, it was belongings of people who are all now presumed dead. And its been a while, with no relatives coming to try and claim their possessions. I (Sterling) sees it as salvage.

It certainly wasn't officially tomb-robbing, which most adventureres legit get a bad rap for. (ANd rightfuly so!) ;P

Mmmmm,.. Yeah, Nope.

Sorry, sorry, But that write up of your reaction,... BWA-hahahaha! ;)

RL seems to be having a heyday with a lot of us lately. ;P

I sincerely hope that you're Crises are not TOO bad? :)

Best wishes and prayers for you and all.

No apologies needed.

Best wishes and prayers. I hope the crises aren't TOO bad!
