Anybody else on board?

Hey guys, think we should try again?

Been almost a year now. But I keep coming back to read this thread as it is still my favorite pbp. Shall we try one more time?

Happy Valentine's day everyone, or Singles Awareness Day if you are not a participant of the traditional corporate holiday.

Reaching into her spell component pouch, Tallina produces a few beans showing the halfling.

"Not Tobongo, but a plant nonetheless. I know a trick to make these grow into a structure large enough to get us up. Although, Tobongo does have an uncanny knack for climbing."

The spell climbing beanstalk, I prep it as a throwaway spell for summoning but it looks like it can be useful. Although, Tobongo has an actual climb speed.

The half elf with the party had been quiet and was thinking to herself. But she did have an idea.

"Well, if we find a part of the wall that's somewhere around twenty feet high, maybe it got damaged by everything. Maybe even a window, I can get us in."

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all. I'm heading to Chicago for the weekend so I'll be out in case we do start posting alot. Just assume the tree will hit things.

The half elf looked over her companions.

"We should get going, there's bound to be a fight ahead though. Tobongo, are you ready?"

Tallina has selected the Heirophant, Tobongo has Champion. Is that the spirits boon or the seance benefit? I haven't read up too much on the psychic classes.

Ready and waiting. Let's get this show on the road guys.

Thanksgiving was weird this year. I had to work so I didn't get to see family, then on Saturday when I was actually supposed to see at least my girlfriend's side of the family we had a guy quit on us and I had to cover his shift. On a paycheck it looks good, but it wasn't worth the time to me. Black Friday is easy in foods because everybody wants general merchandise, since I work at a deli counter at a 24 hour store I didn't have to deal with lines of people.

This month, sure Christmas, nice. I have tickets to Star Wars and that's what I'm waiting for.

Unloading her trunk of the various items, Tallina sighs as she looks at the baubles and trinkets.

Everything has a use, even the silverware since we don't necessarily have a lot of it. Might as well just pack up again.

"I'm ready to head out whenever. Let me just rearrange my treasure chest."

Hmm, I already have a cloak of resistance, anybody else want one? Maybe once we get a make whole spell we can fix that phylactery of faithfulness.

Okay so would we be willing to purchase a heavyload belt or a bag of holding?

Nifty, I'm also looking for those bracers or the belt that gives anthaul as long as you wear it. Because I can carry more than 200 lbs of stuff in that chest I keep lugging around. If we had a bag of holding I would probably just fill it with enough kitchenware to be considered a masterwork kitchen wherever I cook.

Sorry, had a helluva week, 65+ hours and I'm finally recuperating. Hmm, could we get a bag of holding? Just in case.

So the question is, do we swipe Maxwell's scale since he seems to have vanished, not give Bianca one, or is there a 7th scale?

What about an Unchained Summoner with the Angel base form and build a Valkyrie that aids us in combat?

Thinking to things that the party has picked up, Tallina looks through her bag for a moment.

"And this. I have a scale of that big silver dragon that saved us. It apparently can let me walk on air. But I've never really tested it out."

"I'm in, and Wendaug is correct. Do not leave the garrison undefended. Lure cultist troops through the city here, and set up a killbox you will drag them to. The demons are smart enough to know not to come, but the cultists, not so much. Especially if you dress up some well armed crusaders as refugees. Cultists would love nothing other than to kill those who are fleeing right?"

Looking towards the rod of cancellation and any map they have Tallina nods.

"Death by explosion sounds a lot better than at the hands of demons. We can always find peace in the afterlife right?"

Tallina thanks Mia for her help and begins feeding everybody. Lost in her thought the half elf had made far too much, but at least it was using food that was going to go to waste anyway.

Ladling soup into bowls, cups, dented plates, helmets, whatever people had that could pass for a mess kit. When the soup would cool down the half elf would summon a small fire elemental to heat the soup up to temperature before thanking the creature for it's service and letting it vanish. Her words were few, a small word of thanks for their service or a simple word of encouragement as she fed everybody was all she could offer.

Two second level spells nixed for Summon Nature's Ally II for a small fire elemental... to heat up my soup. Yeah, sure, cooking involving magic, I can get into that.

When she finally got around to her comrades she only had a little bit left, just enough for them.

"Luci, Mia, Verim, Bianca, and Wendaug, here is your share, I also have enough for myself as well. Tobongo you should get some water, here ya go big guy. I know today was rough, but it will only get either rougher or better. It all depends on how we spin this to the troops. After all, we left for three high profile targets today and got all of them plus several survivors. That's a win right?"

I'm actually okay with rolling for it, I like that sometimes I'm not able to cook very well or the quality is superb. It gives me minimal chance to rp such as maybe my mind was elsewhere or something.

The half elven woman's thoughts were elsewhere during her preparations for dinner, her chatting with the other chefs minimal. She was thinking on the days events and processing how some of the demons operated. She thought she understood what people had meant when they said the demons actions were "inhuman" but she was wrong. No morals, just whimsy on the cruelest of desires.

Tallina cools Verim down by casting a spell of create water in the air above him.

"You need to cool off Verim. There will be time for pleasantries later. You all need to get some rest, I'll make my way to the kitchen and whip something up for the troops. We should rest and be ready for tomorrow."

Profession Chef: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 10 + 1 = 15

It's what, early fall in game right? A nice hearty stew with plenty of root vegetables, mushrooms, a couple of Tobongo's leaves used like bayleaf, and maybe some kind of meat that was going to go bad if we didn't use it like goat or lamb, casting purify food and drink on anything that's starting to rot so we can reuse it. I modeled Tobongo after the Mwangi Treant, Tobongo is what his species is actually called so it's probably a more medicinal leaf than flavorful. So anybody feeling sick etc. might find it good.

Only thing I had was a custom spell that I believe I mentioned to you in a pm, but I can't cast it yet because it hasn't exactly come up yet.

I have... had a reach weapon gnome hunter that is basically a gremlin. Can take apart tech, can't exactly put it back together. Just lost an arm, although if I remember correctly in one of the Skull and Shackles books or was it Pirates of the Inner Seas, or Isles of the Shackles there was an alternate table for massive damage where you could lose limbs and such. Yeah, just lost an arm to the enemy that has the chainsaw.

Yes I did, and was debating if the gnome hunter I have in another game should go 8 hunter/4 unbreakable fighter with the nature's boon feat. At least my tree in this game doesn't have to worry about the techno chainsaw, granted he's also technically resistant to them right now.

Wait, we're alive? Yes!! Yes!! Jesus H. tap-dancing Christ... I have seen the light!!

Thread Necromancy!

Just finished moving to Michigan, and in a few weeks I should have an apartment all of my own. Should we try to find a gm?

Congrats on finishing a degree. I know I just finished mine last year but I haven't had any luck with it. I don't know how the others feel but I'd be happy to have you back as a GM.

On a side not does anybody here play Diablo III? I've been playing waaaay too much of it with the new season that just started.

Hmm, no fish biting the bait we set out. Maybe we could try again? Give back to school like a week or so?

We are still looking for a new GM, we have a strong base of players (both posting wise and build wise), and a lot of story left to cover. Anybody out there?

Happy Birthday to me! And I believe so, can we just revive one of our couple of GM recruitment drives?

Ignoring the man for the moment, his troubles could be dealt with later. There was a more pressing matter at hand.

"We should get moving, with this many people we might attract some unwanted attention. It would be best to get to the Defender's Heart as soon as possible."

Hope she is feeling better, I'm off to Wisconsin for a couple of days so I won't be able to log in, or make any posts. I can still watch though.

Examining the stage and the fainted humans, the half elf cleans the blade of her scythe on a pile of tattered costumes. Examining her surroundings, she still feels uneasy.

"These were only small fry, something must have summoned them, that or we are performing some cleanup from something bigger."

Unless I can cast it like a personal spell. Those I can ignore the types and restrictions because well animal companion. Like scale spikes, or savage maw, or even animal growth to make him gargantuan.

I can usually get a post in a day, sometimes two depending on when I work. Also poisons don't work on Tobongo, there's a lot that doesn't work on him.

Tallina lunges for one of the creatures with her scythe raised high.

Scythe: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 232d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 3) + 3 = 9

"I'm coming Verim, Tobongo attack this one! Everybody ready? Let's wipe out some scum."

----Tobongo-----

The tree moves into position with Verim and swings his massive gem encrusted limb over Tallina's head.

Power Slam: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 8 + 2 = 211d8 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

Will Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13 Does Tobongo have to make the will save? He's immune to morale effects.

Moving closer to Tobongo, the half elf casts a spell of guidance and hunkers down, hoping her companion can keep her safe.

"Tobongo, beat that one out of the sky."

-----Tobongo-----

Power Slam #1: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 8 + 1 = 231d8 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Power Slam #2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 241d8 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11 Only if he can 5ft step

Wait so Verim and his player both have eye injuries? Whoa, that's character dedication (jk, glad you are feeling better).

Let's see, I'm in the central timezone (Chicago, let's go Blackhawks!), I check in the morning or during work on my phone, but unfortunately I don't have a current enough web browser for me to post from said phone. So I usually post at night around 7-9pm.

Also sometime within the next couple of months I'm moving to Michigan, around the Grand Rapids area, hopefully having the same time restraints.

I think Vinsomner would be a great match, but we'd just need to contact him.

Pretty simple, give me like a month and I might be gone for a couple of days if the job offer I get is acceptable. I might be moving, fingers crossed.

Weird thing is we have almost all the original players, just need a new GM.

I hope we didn't lose another gm.

Taps inside of screen: Anybody out there?

If everything goes correctly I might be moving to Michigan in the next couple of months. A couple of positions might be opening up that would let me actually get a job there, and be able to support myself.

On the other hand, just got back from Wisconsin and didn't miss much I can see. Was helping to open up another store so I'm back to my home comp that will let me post.

Rounding the corner, Tallina rushes the stage trying to get between two of the injured people.

"Stop fighting, hide and come out after we defeat these little pests. Tobongo, attack!"

-----Tobongo-----

The treant moves quickly for his size towards the creatures with one arm swinging.

Tobongo Power Slam: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 131d8 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16 grr, might get one if they are flat footed

There was a recent update where only people with Android 5.1 browser or something else apple equivalent can actually post via mobile. It also eats post from Wayfinder. So my mobile capabilities on paizo have been diminished. Kind of sucks tbh.

Perception: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21 Nope, too busy counting coins I guess

"Maybe we could take a detour? Perhaps find more survivors or trouble, and swing back by the tailors shop to pick them up. Although it would ease my mind that the survivors we have found were safe and sound."

Hopping off the pile of rubble, Tallina gets ready to head out.
