I think I have insufficiently grilled this cheese.
LOL! Diane read this over my shoulder and wondered if you were trying to say, "My food is problematic."
EDIT: Naked firefly reference for ToP?
Ohh Myyyyy.

Heh, nah, just didn't get the cheese melted enough.
But yay for accidental Firefly.
it's not only a matter of melting the cheese enough, it's also important to toast the bread just right.

That's it. I'm going grocery shopping on the way home.

This has to be one of the few times I've objected to nudity.

Howdy FAWTLY Folk! Finally back in Philly. It was an...interesting flight back. Charlie was awake for all but the last hour. It took both of us working together to put him down for a nap. We felt like the Emperor and Darth Vader, trying to sway Luke to the Dark Side.
Only this time we succeeded. Take that you rebel scum!
hi everyone
Hello, hope the new year has had few crises yet.
Morning from the first Saturday of the January rush.
I keep seeing stuff about this PF Online Kickstarter, and while I think that Emerald Spire adventure is really cool looking, I've no real desire to support or play an MMO.
I don't think it's going to fund, personally. It's just short of 600k and needs to reach 1 mil within the next 9 days, and the most I'd contribute would be the $15 for Emerald Spire. I've been kind of waiting for the last minute, planning to toss in the $15 if it's going to fund anyway but not bothering otherwise.
No plans to play either.
My slavery footprint is estimated at 25 by this site... Is it sad or good that I thought it'd actually be higher?
Agrenost: Beneath the Cobbles has got to be the most difficult NWN module I've played without it clearly having been made with the assumption that people will cheat their way through it.
Link?

My was estimated at 16. It might be a bit lower actually as one of my five jackets was made by my mother, some of my clothing is quite old and comes from nineties when more clothing was produced in Poland and less imported from China and other cheap labor countries, most of food I eat come from Polish or at least European sources and some of it I sometimes buy directly at local market from farmers selling their own products, especially in summer/early autumn when they have the cheapest fruits and vegetables. It leaves cotton for shirts and jeans, computer, some food (but those are those I am eating the least, like peaches and pineapple). I was surprised there were no tea listed, however, which I drink a lot.

Ooops! Very nearly killed the 2011 RPG Superstar. Fortunately he ducked his head at the last second or it would have been curtains for him.
Thanks to Treppa's keen memory, I reset the map to the correct positions and Taig is now out of harm's way. Unfortunately, another former RPG superstar became the target of a Raging Zombie Orc's fury and did not fair so well.
I'm guessing this is in the PbP everyone's always talking about?
Link?

AAAARRRRRGGGHHHH!!! Just realized that I left my copy of the last AP issue (#65) on the f*&!ing plane yesterday. I had taken it out of my bag and put it in the magazine sleeve in my seat, fully intending to read it. Then we had all that trouble with Charlie and I completely forgot about it.
So, I just ordered another copy.
GAH! That really sucks. Make sure to remind Charlie about the pain his trouble-creation brought you on a regular basis once he's reached adulthood.
=(
Some lucky flight attendant/next sod in that seat is gonna get free Pathfinder though. Maybe they'll stumble across this thread and thank you, or even better, return it to you.
(Though at the speed FAWTL moves they might miss it completely even if they do stop in...)

Well, if it's Indian tea, those are day labourers, not slaves. *rolls eyes*
Hmm... cleared my throat and ended up with a mouthful of phlegm... EWWWWWWWWWWWW!
Delicious dinner. Also, bought Blood of the Night.

We didn't have too much of a problem with most of the encounters, between flying and hitting things and our Tetori's incredible ability to lock down any spellcaster with a charging claw-grab. The Jabberwocky was gone, having already been defeated in its attack on our kingdom so we didn't have to deal with that.
Notably, we did have an additional encounter against an Antipaladin 20 and his demon cohort. This is notable because the Antipaladin was the King and Queen's first child, who was stolen by that Quickling from RRR sometime after he joined up with Nyrissa. At a public festival.
The fight was opened by the King being completely and totally annihilated in a single attack, courtesy of a smite, a well-timed critical hit and a feat that let the antipaladin burn all his divine power in one charge for bonus damage. So the King exploded. A hell of a fight was had thereafter, and the Tetori proved to be some kind of ungodly wrecking machine, dealing with most of the problem. During the fray the King's god sent him back as an outsider, basically telling him 'You have done good work in this destabilized, tormented area. Go back and do more.' (Party speculation is that his god actually did it to keep his wife in check, as she's famous for passing legislation which means that if she has to deal with your problems her away team can annex or draft anything it feels like and to say otherwise is treasonous and therefore punishable by death because they can draft you as a citizen. She used this to assist with the lawful takeover of a couple cities, and almost did it to Pitax itself before she figured that installing a local regent that is on very good terms with her would be better for trade and less costly overall for her. But I digress.)
They managed to defeat him after a difficult battle, and he reverted to his 4 year old self as the dark magics that forced his growth left his body. They had him planeshifted out by our very own Schrodinger's Wizard. (He's a Diviner who took Fast Study to always have the proper spells on hand. He spends his days Mind Blanked and constantly using a Ring of Invisibility because he took Leadership and his cohort turned out to be a creepy stalker with access to divination magic to find his location. And Simulacrum. Eww.) We pressed on and ended up finding the Quickling again, who was also something of a major challenge. It had apparently picked up class levels in the interim and it hit pretty hard. We were able to deal with it before too long, and we finally made it to Nyrissa's chamber.
There was a short talk between us, and then combat was joined. Nyrissa was actually advanced to make up for our party being significantly overleveled from some additional side-content. She won initiative (a rarity, our rogue is fast), and opened up with Prismatic Spray coupled with another spell that killed our Rogue dead. We tried attacking, but her defenses were huge (Seriously, Advancing her gives her another +6 AC per advancement because her CHA counts for armor too. And she was advanced like, twice). Then she Mazed the King and prepared to deal with the Queen and the Tetori while the dimension itself started to fray around her. The rogue fell into a crack in the dimension and was lost in the void. The Queen then cast a spell that I put on her list and never seriously thought I'd use: Antimagic field. She walked over to Nyrissa, and the Tetori proceeded to grapple her properly this time since her CHA-as-deflection-bonus thing is a Supernatural ability.
The next few rounds consisted of the Tetori grappling her, while the Oracle and eventually the Paladin came back and started stabbing her in the antimagic field. With her gone, we warped home and counted the spoils up.
Predictably, the Queen's final act in this chapter of the story was to declare that entire dimension a new part of Oakenforge. The rogue was unable to be resurrected, having been lost to the void completely.
His brilliant plan to deal with this tattoo: Become a god, because they can't die. So, once everything had finished wrapping up, the Barbarian had the party wizard zap him and the Tetori over to the test of the starstone. He took one of the country's Dire Bat mounts with him, and flew over the crevice to enter the test. The Tetori started climbing down the pit, reasoning that there was probably a lot of loot down there from people who failed.
He got struck by divine lightning, and the bat was killed. He jumped from the falling bat and made the rest of the distance, before going into the temple.
Inside, he spent his first three days inside of a stupidly easy puzzle, unable to solve it. He tried breaking through the wall, but that only revealed the same void as during the final battle, and a rogue flying rapidly towards him. Yes, he was hit by the floating body of our dead rogue. After looting him and tossing the body into a portable hole, he moved on and finally solved the stupidly easy puzzle to reveal a series of nine different challenges.
Each of them basically boiled down to 'beat an insanely powerful thing,' and the Barbarian proved why you don't try to fight Barbarians, even if you can fly and cast spells and make walls of force and be a pit fiend. It turns out that CAGM pounce with Spell Sunder is really damn strong. Meanwhile, the Tetori kept climbing down.
One series of combats later, and the next challenge presented itself: Mass combat against 300 Spartans. Thanks to some excellent rolling and a well-timed retreat to recuperate, he was able to defeat an entire army by himself, albeit with like 20 HP left. He chugged some CLW potions and pressed forward to the Starstone, then touched it. The divine energies ripped through him and damn near tore him apart, dealing a large amount of CON damage and a large amount of HP damage on top of it. After all was said and done his CON had dropped to 18 and he was at -16. And then he was a god and was fully healed from it. Meanwhile, the Tetori kept climbing down.
So, being a god caused a full character rebuild with a special template, and he ended up as a gestalt Barbarian/Ranger who specialized in Two-Weapon Fighting with a pair of sentient greatswords FOR MASSIVE DAMAGE.
And then the dimensions were ripped open as a god-slayer with 10 mythic tiers came in to put an end to this upstart. Pleasantries were exchanged, and the Barbarian asked him out for drinks after he was done kicking his ass. Meanwhile, the Tetori kept climbing down.
The fight was joined, and while the Barbarian took more than a little damage (seriously, he was left at like half HP by the end of things), he also proved to be a much harder hitter. The god-slayer was forced to retreat, and the Barbarian left the test. He was given a short time to get his affairs on earth in order prior to having to deal with the paperwork and bureaucracy required to become a new god. So, he went back to Oakenforge to brag to the queen, submit his formal resignation and tell her off.
...a lot of stuff happened, but it basically boiled down to: Barbarian told queen to shove it, he's taking over Irissen and then going off to be a god, as was his original goal. The Queen said 'great, carry on,' Barbarian was surprised by this, and the Queen revealed that she had been keeping him around specifically because she figured he would eventually do something that would be a big problem for some country. When that happened, she'd eventually get a call from wherever that was because his relationship to Oakenforge was no secret. She'd dispatch an away team to deal with the cleanup, and then the country would be beholden to her, for reuniting it out of the chaos. Why, she could even annex it under her country's law!
"So what happens if I just smash you instead?"
"You would be making an enemy of all Oakenforge. Remember, it was us who kept you safe while you were lying in state. You owe us your life, and hence your very godhood."
"I could kill everyone here without breaking a sw--"
"I have a great deal of time and no reason to fear you. I am no mere cleric, the gods were the ones who sought me. You will die. Perhaps not today or tomorrow, but eventually I will end you, should you task me. Now, bear well in mind your debts and act accordingly."
The most epic staring contest of all time ensued, and the Barbarian thought better of trying to lay waste to the town, stating that he really didn't want to blow up the bar and that was where all the leaders hung out anyways.
What happened with Irissen was left ambiguous, but that's really not the point.
The point is, in the unspoken battle of Schrodinger's Wizard versus AM BARBARIAN the winner was Barbarian by 'becoming a deity.'
And that's all. To summarize: Oakenforge is a really screwed up place.
How's it going guys. I hope you all had a good Holiday season.
Busy, busy, busy. Hope you and the family are doing well.
wow! I that's some awesome stuff. Thanks for sharing.
No problem! The only unfortunate part is that the longest running plot thread of the entire campaign was never resolved:
The Warden's constant attempts to woo some girl who didn't even know he existed and didn't even show up in the city itself until book 6. Getting this girl's attention was his motive for accepting the charter and then later helping make a kingdom, and it never got resolved.
Sounds like us, busy busy busy. But we're doing pretty well overall.How's it going guys. I hope you all had a good Holiday season.Busy, busy, busy. Hope you and the family are doing well.

What? No, gestalt rules for PF. I'm making a Magus|Alchemist.
And this is after I've already made a Paladin|Rogue, a Bard|Cavalier, a Ranger|Inquisitor...
We're not even playing this game for like a year.
** spoiler omitted **...wow! I that's some awesome stuff. Thanks for sharing.
