I'm still here too!! Though some days it's questionable.

Hope everything works out for you and your daughter, Cyn! It sucks to have sick children with little cause or an unknown outcome. While I don't have any of my own, I've had dealings with siblings, nieces and nephews over the years that spent many a night worrying.

Looking forward for when you can continue.

Any of you guys play Mage Knight? Really fun board game, and the best part is that (when you're like me and some of you guys and have kids and it's tough to get together with your gaming group very often) there are different scenarios, some of which are really fun solo games.

My high score is 241 in solo conquest so far. Beat that, suckas! ;-)

Used to play a clix game called Mage Knight. Didn't know they made it into a board game. Might have to look for that at some point.

Glad to hear your doing good Cyn! And crazy work is definitely a pain.

And to heck with this warm weather. I like a nice warm 60 to be my high weather, lol.

My 17th level rogue in the VTT Savage Tide game I'm in died...again. And this time for real. As I said on my Facebook page...

Oh, and just to clarify, it took a named demon death knight blackguard antipaladin stalker assassin thing to take him down, while in the abyss, in an abyssal prison, with the cleric a no show, unable to heal, and the paladin busy playing with her toy to take me down. And she had to sneak attack me from invisibility to do it. And I STILL almost came back via the River Styx. To me, that's still a win.

Oh, and she used some kind of Con draining poison. Which is actually what did him in.

It was a rough fight, almost a TPK.

My sadness at this announcement is in direct response to your skills as a GM. It's been fun, and the game has been enjoyable. I think you've done an excellent job.

Please PM me when you come back!!

I assume that Rose is going to the temple at some point to give the holy symbols to Iona. When she does, I will offer to accompany her. I'd like to see Iona's reaction. Just wanted to post this now since the weather is pretty bad and I don't know how much I'll be able to post today/tomorrow.

Uncertain how to handle the thought of Kendra coming, Rose instead quietly stands up. "I'm...going to go to the temple. I promised Iona these symbols, may as well have it done with." She waits a moment before leaving the house.

I agree, but my concern is that we may not only force a fight, but one while our resources are currently depleted, and one with a possible innocent as well. I think it may be best if we leave, rest and recuperate, then come back tomorrow and bring the book back fully recovered. Or do our thing at the prison, though that may have it's own risks.

"Agreed, two of...of them outside would put the town in danger. Perhaps the book has some clues as to how to stop the Splatter Man? Is it safe to even look at?" She turns to Theron even as she goes over it with her own spell to search for magic on it.

Theron picks up the tangled mass of holy symbols. After making a brief effort at pulling them apart he turns to hand them to Rose. "I think these are..." he begins to say, when suddenly they detach from one another and begin raining down onto the floor. He does his best to hide his embarrassment and quickly picks them up.

Rose lets out a small as they fall apart, helping Theron pick them up. "It will be good to get these to Iona, the task accomplished."

"I'm glad that you're okay, Lem." Rose opens the discarded pouch, a passing recognition, before examining the wand and relating it's function.

Spellcraft on Wand: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

"Don't we owe that librarian something from Sefick? There's gotta be something here."

"Yes, his holy symbols. I had thought the weights may be them, with the symbols adorned on them. But now I'm not as certain."

I also have no issues with dbauers joining the game.

Round 5

Rose carefully opens and pours Karrik's potion down Lem's throat, hoping to keep the the priest from a pre-mature meeting with his goddess. "Stay with us, Lem, c'mon and just stay with us."

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Hi All

I am in the SH*T storm to end all SH*T storms at work and will be on a considerable amount of business travel and round the clock meetings.

I'll post as often as I can but it may take 1-2 delay days for combat responses etc. IF the game is bogged on me, the GM (or any player the GM deputises) is fine to make attack actions for me.

Again, not abandoning the game but but will need just a bit of patience on everyones part.

Time for some suicide charges?

Just a heads up I'm in a hotel for a couple week with crappy internet, in case I seem to disappear that may be why. Feel free to bot me if I seem to disappear (don't want to hold things up).

Round 4

Rose catches Karrik's potion and rushes to Lem. "Thanks, Karrik."

Move to catch potion, standard to go to Lem.

While I would like to, administering a potion is a full round action, so I'll be stuck behind for that one round. Unless you say I can administer on the move that is.

Rose takes the potion from Theron and administers it to Lem as Dragomir picks up the chain-wrapped halfling.

Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Round 2

"Ohmygod, Lem!" Taken aback by the results of her actions, Rose pulls back as she watches her spell strike Lem, seemingly making him go worse. She calls upon her Samsaran heritage, attempting to look upon Pharasma's pathways.

Use Deathwatch SLA. Eh, why not?

Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

"NO, Lem! Dragomir, see if you can pull those chains off, I'll try to stop whatever is causing this." Rose moves closer to the chains and attempts to strike at them with her magic strength.

Disrupt Undead: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

A sense of cold washes over Chunhua, triggering a memory from another lifetime, a memory of traveling across a mountain range. She huddled close with other travelers for warmth, unable to light a fire, darkness descending as the others one by one fell to their final rest, a rest she too was about to descend...

Rose forces aside the memory, momentarily disoriented as she attempts to focus on the now.

Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

dont get it...

Me neither.

Rose examines some nondescript section of the room, still feeling fear from the earlier encounters and drained of her magical reserves, does not realize what's happening until the others begin to run. Perhaps realizing too late...

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 1 I see dead people...well dead people that aren't actually dead people but shadows. The actual dead people get a jump on me.

Also fine with Raj's order of investigation, just hadn't mentioned it until now.

Round 2

Rose sends out another beam of positive energy as she moves forward, bringing the warhammer down upon the skull.

Full round for spell combat, Disrupt Undead, 5' step to AG24, warhammer. Target is FS2.

Disrupt Undead: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13; 1d6 ⇒ 3
Warhammer: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18; 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Just to let everyone know, tomorrow night I'll be attending a work holiday party, then Sunday I leave to Florida for a week. I'll try to make sure everything's as up to date as I can before the party tomorrow, but after that probably won't be able to post until at the hotel Sunday night. I should be able to post every night while in Florida, but if there's a delay it'd be work related. I come back next Friday if I completely disappear during this time for some reason.

Round 1

Rose once again lets her sword clatter to the ground as she pulls out the heavy hammer, infusing it with magic as she sends a white ray at the nearest skull, stepping forward as she does. "No more, we will not back down!"

Free drop sword, move draw warhammer (should just ready that I think), swift arcane enhancement, standard disrupt undead at Skull 1, 5' step to AF23.

Disrupt Undead: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

What about the door at AI16 instead of going around the lake? Would that be accessible? Also my recommendation at this point.

Rose readies her blade and silently continues on, attempting to remain steady.

Wow, Xmas is over! Gotta say this has been a draining one for me. Hope everyone had a good holiday season (for those who celebrate).

Looking over my PBPs this morning, I realize it's been a bigger interruption than I thought it would be. So going through and apologizing to all my games for the somewhat unexplained absence and getting updates in as applicable.

Hope to see the update January 2nd!

Rose forces herself to stand, leaning against her warhammer as she does. "We should continue on. The longer we take to clear the taint from this place, the longer it has to come up with new twisted ways to oppose us." Wobbly, she moves to pick up her sword and sheathe it. "I still have one healing vial if someone should need."

While Rose would be willing to continue, methinks resting is in order. Plus she does want to get rid of those shackles. Rose has 1 arcane pool left, most of her spells, and the 1 vial.

Rose drops the heavy weapon, covering the wounds with her hand to help stop the flow of her clear blood staining the grass. With the other she retrieves a potion vial to help heal the wounds. Her hands tremble slightly as she works. As she downs the vial, she mutters aloud. "What next the grass to turn into shards of glass while we sit?" There's no mirth in her voice.

Potion of CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Round 1

Rose lets her scimitar fall to the ground, imbedding itself nearby as she pulls out the warhammer she had acquired. Testing the weapon's weight for just a moment, she infuses magical energy into the weapon as she has done with her longsword. "This is why I wanted it." She swings with the weapon, putting as much strength as she is able behind the blow.

Free action, drop Longsword. Swift, Arcane Enhancement. Standard, attack Skeleton#3 2-handed.

Warhammer: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
THUNK!: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Yep, voted here. I'll avoid saying who I voted for to avoid starting anything ugly ;)

Politics is way too hot a topic for me to talk about usually. So I've taken to giving a simple answer. Mark Hammill. You see, I completely agree with his policy regarding WMDs and how to handle them (like a womp rat!). And who wouldn't want the national religion to be Jedi? And hey, at least his big scandel was only kissing his sister. Everyone knows about it already!

Round 3

"Be careful so close to it! If we could jam that grill shut..." Rose leaves the sentence hanging as she tries to send another spell into the furnace's maw, only to harmlessly bounce off the side.

Disrupt Undead: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 + 1 - 4 = 7
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Round 2

Rose sends another beam of energy flying towards the furnace, striking into the flames.

Disrupt Undead: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 3 + 1 = 23
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Round 1

Hit points are 13+1/19. Appears that I had lost track.

Enhancing her blade, Rose sends a beam of energy at the furnace, twirling clockwise and stepping to the side to strike at the skull.

Swift for Arcane Enhancement, Full action for spell combat. Disrupt Undead to the furnace, 5' step to AF15, strike the skull.

Disrupt Undead: 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 3 + 1 - 2 = 13; Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Longsword: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 4 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 18; Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 + 1 = 6

The computer is back up, pain in the rear that it is. I'm going through my games and posting until I fall asleep.

Just a heads up that my PC decided to stop operating as normal today. I hope to get it up and running over the weekend (not 100% sure what's wrong, but I have a friend who knows abit). It should only minimally impact the games I play in, as I can post from my iPad (just takes longer to draft a post). Just wanted to give a heads up on it.

Believing she heard something to the south, she stares intently sword at the ready.

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 3
Inish: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

Rose also has a Cure Light Wounds potion from before, so if someone needs the other one, I'm fine with that.

As far as the sedative goes, Rose isn't exactly fond of the idea of poisons in general, though a though flavored as a sedative could be seen as a necessary use depending on circumstance. It might be better to someone more open to it's use, though more than willing to hold onto it for now just in case.

Round 6

Beginning to cough at the increased smoke, Rose tries to focus on the spirit through blurry eyes. A quick strike only manages to clear away some of the smoke as she fires a wild ray through what she believes to be the phantom's form, only to realize it was the same smoke she billowed with her swing. "If this spectre doesn't get us, the *cough, cough* smoke will!"

Spell combat, swing with the sword, 5' shift to Z12, Disrupt Undead. Bot miss due to concealment. So going to take blindfight after this.

Longsword: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 16
Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 1 + 1 = 13
Miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 37

Disrupt Undead: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 3 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 22
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 47

Round 5

As Theron points out the spirit's location, Rose takes up her blade with both hands and dashes to the spot, attempting to strike, though her blade only connects with air. "I think I preferred the armory, at least then we could see our opponent." She glances around for any other flying debris as she pulls her blade back.

Move to Y13, attack and miss.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 12
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 13
Miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 12 Miss

Round 4

I did forget. Thanks, Lem!

About to charge the spirit, Rose holds as Lem comes up and closes some of the wounds inflicted upon her. "Thank you, Lem." Taking the stone offered, thankful for her hurt leg, she whips the stone with all her might but watches as it spins oddly, uncertain of it's strike.

Magic Stone: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 1 + 1 = 12
Damage: 2d6 + 2 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1, 1) + 2 + 3 + 1 = 8
Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 68

Round 3

Rose keeps her voice quiet, carefully searching the room, trying to find the source of the voice. She keeps her left hand raised, the incantation upon her lips for the moment the spirit reveals itself. The only sounds she can seem to pinpoint are the others voices and her own heartbeat.

Ready a Disrupt Undead in case the spook reveals itself.

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 7

Round 2

Rose wipes her crystal blood out from her eyes as it streams down from the blow to her head. Slightly fazed, she makes out what Raj is doing and prepares to strike at anything targeting him.

Readied action to use Disrupt Undead on anything that attacks Rajuna.

Forgot to mention, Rose would've cast light on her sword.

Round 1

A feeling of fear washes across Rose, but prepared to face it this time she stands her ground. Sending the magic into her blade, she sends a bolt of positive energy to where the apparition once stood before stepping in to strike at it. Though in the end, she is unable to connect with the spirits.

Swift for Arcane Enhancement, Full Attack for Spell combat, Disrupt Undead, 5' step to AA14, Strike.

Infirmary sounds good as any.

Here, but fast post, short on time. Try post more later.

"Caution lets you see trouble, speculation makes you see trouble." Rose quiets for a moment, then smiles. "It sounds better in it's original language."

Yar, down to the prison's hold, we be headin'. Okay, not so good at priatespeak.

"Thank you, Theron. And I agree about the skeleton, though it pains me to so deal with a body after death." Rose hefts the weight of her recently acquired warhammer, says a small prayer, and brings it's weight down upon the skeleton's skull. She winces as the bone fragments from the strike.

Rose, would you help me with these chains? If these are the holy symbols of Father Charlatan, Sister Iona would be grateful for them. Better to get them now when we are under no immediate danger.

"Of course." Having helped with the removal, Rose will begin to undo the weights as well. "I will carry them. They will be little burden."

Yea, total lie. Though only medium encumbrance with just weights.

Karrik and I can both make our weapons magic with Arcane Pool, so it's somewhat less effective to us. I'd say Walter probably.
