Ah, thanks. But Usgar had put them together.

Ah, that explains the exchange above. Well done, noral!

ENjoy the outdoors, PaleDim.

Funny clip. Reynar is up. You can try the extraction or act normally.


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

There's a picture of the body-snatched android on slide 3. Doesn't quite match up with my expectation; the ooze is too exposed. Body-snatched people are supposed to be able to fit into their previous life.

"HOney, what's that on your head?"
"Nothing to worry about, dear. I cut myself shaving."

More on topic. As long as we're rolling with this anyway, I'll allow music. I also have a vague impression of vibratory sensitivity helping.

In awe of Reynar’s control of gravity, Attenuate asks, ”Reynar, can you use your control of gravity to pull the ooze out of the android instead of just lifting them both up?”

When I read this last night, my first thought was awesome idea! My next was psychokinetic hand doesn't have the finesse to do this. My third was the slime was probably too well integrated to yank it out without damaging the android. My fourth was too bad, it won't work.

This morning I still think it's a hugely original idea, and still cool. And personally amusing because it would get you one step closer to skating through the adventure without fatal combat. And that just makes me giggle.

Despite the risk of setting a DM-inconvenient precedent, if Reynar wants to try he can, but it will be difficult, and the android will suffer some damage from the extraction. It's not going to happen in one round. I'll need a success in two consecutive rounds. DC in the low to mid 20s. Failure will have consequences. Pitch me a rationale for a couple skills that you want to use in the attempt, if you decide to try.

Welcome, Dragovan!

And we just clear 1000 posts with mostly the same group of players, even if some characters have changed. So happy to be playing with you all.


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

No happens. Life worries?


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

SuperS, (and all) my reading of gravity hold is that it 'immobilizes' a creature's gross position, but not smaller movements like gripping and aiming a pistol. I just want to make sure we're on the same page because 'immobilize' could be taken as restricting those smaller movements. If you were counting on a paralysis type effect and can't argue me out of my interpretation, then you may try a different action.

Thoughts?

Gravity Hold:
This revelation allows you to move objects at a distance as per psychokinetic hand (see page 370).

When you are attuned or fully attuned, you can use the psychokinetic hand ability of your gravity hold to immobilize, lift, or move a Medium or smaller creature. The creature can attempt a Fortitude save to negate the effect. While under this effect, the target creature cannot move, but can take any other normal actions. This ability follows all of the restrictions of the spell other than the weight limit, but you can’t lift a creature higher than 5 feet off the ground. When you spend a standard action concentrating to maintain the gravity hold, the target can attempt a new save to end the effect. Once a creature successfully saves against this ability, it becomes immune to further uses of this revelation for 24 hours.

Hearing no 'nays' I'm running to sign up.


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

I would agree to botting to make sure I don't stall the game. And will abide by whatever decision the party comes to.


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

Clebsch, APZ, I'll contact you in a few weeks.

Everyone, thanks again!

Speaking of fragile, Shadowknight could use some repairs.


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

Shadow Knight seems to be the most fragile of the mechs. IF you want them, take the gloves.


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

You are certainly right, cmlobue. With your indulgence however, I will leave it up a few more days.

I am going to take a break for a few weeks, at the end of which I'll start a new game. If you'd like me to PM you about the game on my return, please leave a post here.

Otherwise, thank you all for playing. I hope to see you around the Paizo boards.

I am sorry to hear about your mother, Ashbourne. I hope your life smooths out with your relatives departure.

Phaeton_nz, I'd love to finish the cycle, but the factors that have made my posting spotty lately will not change for the foreseeable future.

All, if you feel my posting rate is affecting the game too adversely, please feel free to find a substitute. I will not be offended or sore, and will even cheer you on. On the other hand if you can live with my erratic posting, I'd be happy to conclude the adventure as a player.


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

Best wishes for your mother's health, Ashbourne.

Phaeton_NZ, thank you for running the game. The chronicle looks good.

Everyone thanks for playing. SOrry I kind of fell apart in late JUly and August.

I had a good time.


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

I'm sorry too. I love this game, but life is sub-optimal for gaming right now. JUst having trouble finding time to post, and motivating myself if I have a window. I'll try to pick it up.


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

New post is up!


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

Thank you for starring out that dread trigger.


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

Been trying to post since TUesday. I've just had bad luck with the website.

Vacation internet has been unexpectedly bad. Will be home Saturday and will post as soon as possible thereafter.


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

Just finished my own conference. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I did mine.


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

Comic-con, Gencon. I hope you had as much fun as I did at the Coordinate Metrology Society Conference. (Sincerely. It's work, but it's one of my favorite things.)


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

Signed in for chronicle.

GM Sasha, thanks for running the game. This is one I've wanted to play for a long time.

Everyone, it was great playing with you. Sorry I couldn't post consistently at the end. I hope to see you all around the Paizo boards.

Conference prep and then the conference crushed me. FLying home tomorrow. With luck I'll get some nice airport time and an internet connection.

Weekend will probably be tons of catch up on chores and with family.

Ohh. I was interuppted while composing my reply to the other queries. Will respond in my next post, early next week.

Got to get back to the grind now.


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

I haven't read the other frame's special abilities. I hope I get a nice surprise from your noqual.


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

More insanity at work and family's busy too. Could continue for a week or two. Will check in as I can, but if I'm holding things up feel free to bot me.

Hope you all have read your mech's 'user manuals'. GHost shift was an awesome find.


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

Craziness at work and family matters have been keeping me more than busy. It could go on another week or two. I'll try to check in here, but feel free to bot Raia if my absence is holding things up.

Edit: But I had couple of minutes right now. I completed the PC list and made an icon for Thrym and placed him approximately on the map, based on him "striding forward" before shooting Dortay.


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

Thanks for the bot, GM Sasha. Family life and work are crazy and likely to remain so for two weeks. I foresee slow posting on my part, so feel free to bot Burn if needed.


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

I was looking forward to part 2.


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

Yes


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

Yes!


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

It's stuff you can buy a level earlier than normal.


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

Everyone, after some technical difficulties, and much lameness on my part, the game has been reported.

You may find your chronicles here. (The link works for me, but I've had difficulties getting sharing correct in the past.) IF there are problems let me know.

Please review your chronicles carefully. I am notoriously bad at paperwork.

Thank you all for bearing with me, and I'm sorry the recent delays.


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

I haven't forgotten your chronicles. I am sorry for the delay.


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

No, it's totally on me. Last week was really bad on many levels and this week I didn't realize I was up. I'm sorry.


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

Back! Good to see the gang's all here.

I've got my big conference coming up in a couple weeks.


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

Sorry guys. Travel and work blew up on me last week. Catching up IRL. Might be Monday night before I post.

hello Everybody! It is time again for recruitment fourthday. ...

Please remember: if you're a GM running a game from this station, you can use reporting number 2,715,121 to report under the official Castamir station event for bonus AcP!

*Note that outpost games will be run and reported under a separate event code

Are we still using 2,715,121 for random games under Castamir? I'm putting together chronicles for a pbp game that just finished.


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

I've got chronicles mostly filled out. I need to get an event number for reporting.

I forgot to ask about factions. TG and Idir I have from last game, and cmlobue volunteered the information.

CLebch and Azil, can you tell me LOla's and VOldresk's factions please?


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

Will make final post and get chronicles out tonight.


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

will post tonight


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

WHo would know he's not still employed? GMQ, was Cid included in the frame with the rest of us? He came along later.


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

A little helpful guidance could be good. I'll go see what happened in the gameplay.


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

I'm temporarily stymied. We could retreat and try to forge documents. I have to think that sweet talking our way past the documentation will be very difficult.

ANy ideas?


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

Went through a series of layoffs years ago in my first job. Never pleasant living with survivor's guilt and wondering who will go next in another round.
