Ah well. It had occurred to me because I imagined banging on the door pretending to be a Maiden, and it would have been embarrassing if whomever on the other side said, "Why don't you let yourself in?"
If there's no way to get anyone in, and the elevator's on our side of the door, we could try to smoke'im out.
If that gets out of control though we'd probably kill the patients downstairs so probably not a good idea.

I'll post something later today. We are having some crises in my other games especially several dropping out (one of whom is a good friend of mine who has had to drop out of several games due to personal reasons and she is in three of my games, and so we are having to reshuffle around a bit).

No worries! As long as we get a post in not too long, we can move forward. Let me know if you need a bot. :)
Sorry again that you needed to bot me (again!).
Some things came up and it slipped my mind to post. Not to mention, my iPhone's battery was on the fritz and it would drop from 100% to 30% in two minutes of using any sort of app, and had to be constantly charged throughout the day. So I've been only able to do small posts in order to conserve battery life.
Fortunately, I was able to get a new battery and now my phone works as good as new.
Unfortunately, I've been getting a lot of opening shifts at the bookstore I work at, so I've been a bit tired after work, so I've been feeling a bit burned out whenever I do posts. I do apologize again about this. Seems life has given me several swift kicks in the crotch lately. >.<
Like I said, no worries! As you can see, it happens to all of us... >.<
Apologies for going MIA, guys. Last week became a madhouse at work and out of it, in part because I was going away to a trip at the end of it. It was also in part because this was an especially crazy trip, because, well...I got engaged! It was very nice and I'm very happy, but the whole trip left me little time to post here. I'm sorry I didn't let you guys know, but I'm back now!!

I'm sorry that the pace isn't working out for you, SCKnightHero, but mad props to you for recognizing that--a lot of people in this situation don't and then just disappear, which isn't fair to anyone. Riceak was a good concept.
I think this was declared as a "post once or more a day" campaign, and it seems like your work schedule definitely doesn't allow for that easily. Best of luck to you.

Thank you.
I usually work mornings and I do try to post as often as I can but I'm also using my iPhone to post and I need to watch my data as I'm on my parents' data plan (they're helping me save money by doing that), so I have to be careful.
I really don't want to leave but I think I may have too many campaigns going on plus this campaign is moving well too fast.
Very sad to see you go, Riceak. I've been where you are before, but I'm very leery of slowing down too much long-term. We've still got four books to get through.
If you see your schedule clearing up soon, happy to bot you for a bit, but if not, I'll regretfully say farewell. :(

Sorry to see you go, SCKnightHero. But, it's totally understandable. Good luck to you!

Well I guess that will work. You can bot me until things clear up if that's alright with everyone else. I hate to leave y'all hanging.
As far as I'm concerned, it's very much up to you and how you see your life/schedule going in the future! If you'll be more free in a little while (even if that's, say, a couple of weeks), then I welcome you to re-join us when you can.
If this seems like it's going to be the case for the long haul, I'd rather not bot you into perpetuity. :P
But life happens. In another game I had a player just vanish one day--turned out he'd had a medical emergency, but he recovered and rejoined us months later.
Hey all, just a heads-up that my posting may be slower for a few days. I'm very busy at work and (more importantly for these purposes) I've come down with a nasty cold, so I'm doing a lot more sleeping in my off-hours. I'm going to keep striving for 1 post/day, but please bear with me if I slip up!

Okay. Here's what happened so far.
We tried to bluff our way into the hospice. That failed and we got into a fight with several Physicians and Maidens. After they were defeated, Cristina left to get reinforcements. Callie and I went upstairs to scout. Teodor killed some of the Physicians downstairs. Callie and I got the drop on a couple Maidens upstairs and killed them. The entire team then went into the upstairs office and found Davaulus and three more Physicians. Davaulus went invisible and ran. We took care of the physicians. During the combat, grease was tossed at the entrance to the elevator and caltrops at the door to the stairs. However, Davaulus had managed to get a lead down the stairs. We chased him down to the ground floor. We cornered him and killed him. So we are now exploring the rest of the building.
Hi Riceak! Glad to have you back. I hope your schedule's freed up, as we discussed, so you'll be able to post more frequently? :)
Korriban's summary is pretty good. Davaulus is dead, the gang has cleared out the accessible parts of the warehouse, but there are clear references to a "downstairs" where the further operations of the cult of Urgathoa are going on. Where could that be? How do you get there?
A quick note on the current post: you can take 10, etc., to search the area if you want for the Perception. ;)

Ouch. I should have something up soon. Things got hectic for a short bit. I'm off Wednesday so I should have a post up by then.
Allergies have been kicking my butt lately (and also trying to make sure I don't go over my data limit), so I haven't been 100% as of late. Should be better by Wednesday.

No problem! Good to have you back, Riceak!
Norv, could I try another Perception check at take 10? Or did I waste my chance?

Hm...Let me if I can help out some with that perception check.
It's not going to be a detailed post though (spent several hours today vacuuming the store I work at. Was on my knees cleaning underneath shelves, so my back is hurting....which I'm probably not helping by bending over typing this out!).
But here goes nothing...
Cracks knuckles, but actually cracks back instead! ARRRGGGGHHH!

And yeah, Callie, that's about how I always imagine the "disarming magical traps thing" too. Like you say, it's a lot easier to break something than to put it together....

Sorry y'all I didn't post yesterday. We had a big storm yesterday, and we are expecting another big one tomorrow. I'll probably be out of commission until Thursday. Sorry about that.

Heading again out for the weekend; I may check in on my phone but probably won't post any major stuff till I get back Sun or Mon. Please bot if needed. To any who celebrate it, Happy Easter, and happy spring to all!

sorry I haven't posted lately. Work has been busy and it looks like I might have to look for another job as well (not sure what's going to happen at work so I'm playing it by ear right now).
So yeah a bit shook up at the moment but I'll try and have a post up sometime tomorrow evening.
Hey guys, sorry for the delay. Work has delivered me an unexpected wallop that mayblast a few days. Please bear with me and we'll return to our regularly scheduled programming shortly!
Sorry to hear about your own rough times at work, Riceak--hope that all turns out well.
Hi all. Sorry for the long delay...the show I was working on opened last night, so I should finally have a bit more time. I really appreciate your patience.

Just realized that I forgot to add Callie's inspire to my roll.
My apologies for the delay, all. I seem to keep getting slammed by one thing after another over here. Not ideal for posting. :(
But I will attempt to sally onward regardless of the logistical problems! Thank you for your patience over the last few days, it is very much appreciated.
