With that said, I will be on vacation Sun July 15-19 inclusive and thus will not be able to post (a very late post on the 19th is possible) after which *all my travel for the forseeable future is complete and I will be about regularly for daily postings*

Any chance you'll make your combat post before you leave? Do you want me to take over Shador and try to act in your best interest while you're gone in order to keep things moving?

Beaky: The Thieving Magpie

That was an awesome move, Vatt.

Y'know, I was definitely not pulling on the rubber gloves and wading into the pile, especially not with both the Kelemvor priest and Big T right next to the scene. :P

Having said that, I hope the bird picked up some valuable things, and not just pyrite and quartz. But, hey, it is a net win nonetheless.

This is true. I'll be seeing you in about an hour and we can discuss all this and more! I'm interested to hear your thoughts so far. Also, they serve food at the Fox & Hound and I have not yet eaten dinner, so I will probably be dining there as well instead of sitting at the bar. Is that okay with you?

Actually, that's what I was planning, too. Great minds think alike... See you in a bit!

FYI, though, I will have to cut our meeting short around 7:15 or so. My group is getting together for Dark Ages Vampire at 8:00 and, well, we're playing at my house so it helps if I'm actually, you know, there.

Absolutely. I can post Fri and Sat nights, but am leaving early Sunday.

Yes of course. Please do as you see fit. Do not let me hold things up. I will be back late Thursday with no future plans to go anywhere.

Very well. I will try my best to keep you alive while simultaneously trying my very hardest to kill you. When this is all said and done, I should have developed quite the mental complex. :D

*snicker* I hope you are successful and... unsuccessful...

Oh man, nothing has made me smile as much int he last few days as writing that last bit, making Torbjorn fall on bended knee before that priest and cry like a little schoolgirl. Gotta use those Bard perform ranks for SOMEthing, doncha know :-)

Then I had the mental image of him on his knees in front of this guy, which means of course that he's now at about eye level! :-)

Yeah, it's certainly an amusing image to think of a man who makes most pro wrestlers look puny on his knees and crying in public!


It's a shame about that sorcerer, he would have been more useful, but also more resilient to interrogation. Alas, Absalon has no healing skill to speak of with which to make the sorcerer serviceable for questioning, nor the inclination. Who knows what surprises he may have had up his sleeves. Er...you know, besides the all-knowing DM.

Heal can be done untrained, you know. But, if you're not inclined to try, I'm not inclined to let him stabilize on his own either. :)

Guys,

I'll be offline this weekend, but should be back Sunday night or possibly Monday morning. Have an evil weekend! *Bwahahaha!!*

Duly noted. I'm waiting on Torbjorn to finish up the business with the priest of Kelemvor and then I presume you'll head back to your place to see what Beaky dug up. I don't expect we'll get any farther than that over the course of one weekend.

I am back and will try to catch up here... let me do some reading first tho!

Hmmm... no activity since Thursday?

*kicks the thread*


m'Apologies...wicked build-up to a mind-numbing meeting today. Thank God that's over...

Also thought I'd let Shador chime in, now that Lich-Loved's back, before doing anything so final as slitting the guard's throat.

Shadow Lodge

And so I shall.

My apologies for my delay, but during my vacation I had the misfortune of having my wife's purse stolen with all of our financial information in it. It has taken days (and is still taking time) to sort out, close accounts and whatnot. I am here, and hope to post shortly.

I'm just waiting for the combat to finish. I figure there's no sense in making our DMs head assplode trying to run two actions at once :)

However, if prodded appropriately, I shall continue with the priest and crispy bodies...

Yeah, I have no difficulty running two scenes (or three, or four...) at once in a play-by-post format.

And besides, combat is over. :)

Eek! Sorry to hear about it, man! Best of luck with that, I know it can be quite the mess.

Shadow Lodge

Just when things seem to be resolving themselves a new issue crops up. I am hoping to post later tonight or tomorrow at the latest. I believe the worst of it is under control now. I can tell you that id theft is a nightmare to sort out and the systems are not in place to help you at all; in fact, they work against you alot of the time while aiding the thieves.

Worst of all: my cancelled card will almost certainly delay my last Dragon magazine! *weep*

I'm still waiting to wrap up the interrogation scene to see if Shador will, in fact, be waiting to meet Othos and Torbjorn when they get back to the apartment.

Guys, as I mentioned in the other thread, I'm moving onwards down to Tucson today. We don't have internet there yet, so I don't really think I'll be online again before Monday - and that'll be at school, so it will probably be less often than than before. I'm still around, though - just a little inconvenienced!

I'm starting to get the impression that Lich and Sovereign have dropped off the face of the earth. I really don't cherish the idea of recruiting more people to fill the slots back in...

FYI, I'm leaving at stupid-thirty Saturday morning to head back to Ohio, where I shall R&R for a couple of days before loading up trucks and high-tailing it to Indy, and GenCon. Then I'm sticking around for a ten-day vacation after that, visiting the ever-so-exotic locale of Troy, Michigan, then driving back to Seattle. While I will be checking mail and whatnot on my work laptop during that time, I don't know how much time I'll have to make more posts - it IS GenCon, after all.

Then again, at this rate, there won't BE any new posts while I'm gone...

Boss, if you need me, you know my email address, feel free to ping away. OR just come to GenCon and hang with the Paizo crew! :-)


Male Human Supreme Overlord

I'm really sorry, guys, but with my free time slowly dwindling due to increased workloads and the mysterious disappearance of half the game's players... I may have to declare this campaign deceased. :(

It was great fun while it lasted. I'm sorry we couldn't get much further into the story I had planned. Perhaps, if time and interest permits, I may resurrect this game in the future. My apologies.

Everyone -

I have finally returned to the land of the living after not being online here for weeks. The entire identity-theft thing is impossible to resolve, but it seems to have settled down enough to where I can resume a normal life of sorts.

I too am sorry the game ended Fatespinner, but it is often the fate of online games. Schedules and events can make even meatspace gaming hard and online the commitment is even harder to keep. I am sorry for my long hiatus, but at least we can see each other on the regular boards.

Thanks for taking the time to run the game Fatespinner. I enjoyed my part in it.


Male Human Supreme Overlord

Ressurection!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man, this thread was buried!


Evil guy checking in.

I heard the game is going to be restarted here soon. Just wanted to leave my RSVP in human blood on the wall over here.

Cool. See you in the game.

Hehe. Awesome. Now we'll just wait to hear from Lich-Loved. I'll give him a week. If I don't hear anything by then, I'll just NPC Shador as I have some interesting plot hooks buried into him that need to see the light of day...


Male 3.0: Simulationist 8 / Dramatist 5; 4e: Actor ( Explorer multiclass) 4

So it's been a week. Any sign from Lich Loved? We ready to get going? Just curious what the ETA is for the next post. Anyhow it's great that we're resurrecting the old campaign. Looking forward to seeing what you've got!

No sign from Lich, so I've decided to go ahead and NPC Shador. I've also opened the game up for one (or possibly two) more players to join in. Unfortunately, my co-worker failed his licensing exam last Friday and had to take some study courses this week, leaving me as the only person in the office. Thus, I have been quite busy and haven't had time to get a post up yet. Hopefully, I'll have some time this upcoming Thursday or Friday when he gets back.


Male 3.0: Simulationist 8 / Dramatist 5; 4e: Actor ( Explorer multiclass) 4

No problem. In the meantime I'd love a bit of an update. Presumably I arranged something with the Hyena named Bloodhound and am off to meet them?

For my part there's been a lot of talking up the huge beast of a northman and the potent spawn he could supply to their warriors once properly reared. The notion that they could have some eight foot tall deathdealer has got Berzeral absolutely giddy. It is simultaneously his primary motivation as well as their payment.

Now granted there's some difficulties...of course, but nothing that can't be overcome with guile and the proper application of malice.


Male 3.0: Simulationist 8 / Dramatist 5; 4e: Actor ( Explorer multiclass) 4

So I was supposed to e-mail Fatespinner, but somewhere along the line between copying his addy and pasting it somewhere I forgot to actually paste it anywhere before shutting down my computer. Yay me!

So anyway the hope was just to work over what's happened during Berzeral's time away from the group and how to get him back in. Unless I've missed anything I gather he's gone and visited the Hyenas--specifically a charming guy named Bloodhound (something happened here). Then he gets seen by Shador with a bundle of supplies or whatnot leaving from there (presumably not her things though, since those would be at her house, not at the Hyena flophouse--and he also would likely have tried to get them back to her that same night). Then the next morning he drops by the apartment looking to take the girl off into the wastes to be attended to (ie. magically boondoggled en route and kept prisoner for nine months or so). The expectation was to be that he would be gone for nearly a month, and pays the other guys five gold for their troubles, leaving him with something in the neighborhood of 15 gold left.

Anyhoo if you wanna' shoot me back an e-mail, I'm at crypttales@yahoo.com.

Did our Gamer Connection thread disappear, or is there just something wrong with me? Apart from the usual, obviously.

I apologize for the continued delays guys. My in-laws are visiting this week so I haven't had much time to compose anything at home and I'm really getting buried in work lately. We may be... "removing" my co-worker from his position soon due to incompetence and I'm stuck running damage control for him. It's quite unpleasant. Bear with me and I assure you that I will get things started back up in the relatively near future.

Just as soon as I can see some part of my desk again....


Male 3.0: Simulationist 8 / Dramatist 5; 4e: Actor ( Explorer multiclass) 4

I totally understand. It's no sooner than you've got your heading and plotted a nice course, that the wind cuts out all together. Or there's a storm. Or a seagull poops on your map. I know how it is.

Just take your time and get stuff settled away. I'll be around and pop in to see how things are going. No sweat.
