I personally think TK is transmutation because it's supposedly 'gravity manipulation,' but more realistically it's likely because they didn't know where else to put it.
As for who had the scrying sensor, I accidentally didn't clarify enough that it was Darivan who replied, commenting on what Selene mentioned over by him.
Yeah, always attribute the first time, and on and off thereafter. That, and 'in the other room' - combined with the 'dozens of devourers' - definitely ... amplifies the issue, since the only devourers (the bipedal things) that Sylvia can see are the same now-six that Darivan can see with his own eyes. Only Selene can see more than that, and though she's implied there's more of them, she hasn't given numbers.
Yeah, my bad. Normally I try to have at least the first few attributed to the proper person, possibly with some description of how they communicated it, but it slipped my mind for some reason yesterday.
I wasn't sure what Sylvia would see, so I made guess that wasn't too harmful either way (lots of enemies, essentially) as my flavor. Sorry about that.
Minor Error: Due to Potent Magic, Will Save DC should be 21, not 20.
Too late to edit, so putting it here.
Speaking of devourers and confusion - could we relabel the rightmost pair from A&B into something else (like E&F)?
No - using A-D allows me to reduce my necessary rolls drastically. I suggest using their coordinates. (And now - sleep!!)
However, using coordinates means it's hard to track what happened in previous rounds.
E.g. 3 people attack the Devourer at Location XY, it and it's buddy then move. Figuring out which one is hurt for the next round is that much more work.
Especially if the two creatures A move closer to each other/together.
Suggestion for the Future: If you group them, you could color the letters or append a number.
That way, it can be A1/A2/A3, or green A, red A and blue A, and the tag remains attached to the creature making it easier to find relevant information from before.
And you can still use grouped rolls for all A's, all B's, etc.
Aye, agree with the above.
But I suppose - since we are pretty sure OOC that the ones on the right will engage cohorts and the ones on the left won't - that it will work out this time.
And since I don't think we'll have that many fight scenes where *everyone* is in the same place I guess it won't really matter for the future either.
I'm definitely in favor of clearly numbering mass enemies as well.
Heh. I'll look at color variations, numbers, and/or combinations of those during the rest of this.
Right, after a long weekend of attending performances of the step-offspring, working on posts for the NPCs. I'll pause a day to let 'I wait' posts to be done, then bring the pain with the baddies.
I was worried there for a day something happened to ya. Glad to see that's not the case!
I wait.
Well, as it appears that nobody is going to take up Theodric's offer of visual obscurants this round, I think my actions are done with as well.
Mm I considered it but decided actually having a weapon might be more beneficial (and the logistics turned out to be a bother!).
Maybe some nearby NPCs though?
I needed to move back, and attempted my own method of visual obscuring. Illusion/Figments are not Mindaffecting and should actually work. If they fail the save.
I do second the idea of NPC's possibly making use of the offer, though.
you ok GM?
I'm guessing a hiatus then?
I hope not. A hiatus this early into things is rarely a good sign, as players have little reason to remain interested or invested in the campaign. Particularly when active alternatives are somewhat readily available.
I'm guessing busy personal life -> exhaustion -> not enough energy for complete post -> postponing. Though that may just be from my personal experience :P
Let's hope things clear up!
And @GM - just a little post in here so we know you are okay would be awesome : )
I'm not saying I'm impatient. I'm just worried this will turn into my 4th dead game.
I'm hoping it hasn't died. I'm interested to see how this game will go.
I've definitely become very invested in this game, despite it only having just started.
I think we're all invested here. Let's try to be patient and let the DM come back. I doubt they're gone for good. It was probably just a busy week.

emphasis mine. exactly this.
Thank you both. Hell, thank you all. Busy, nasty, AFComputer, infected, all sorts of bad things, neck swollen like a grapefruit. Putting together stuff ... well, not right this instant, but tonight. At least the King &c. will get done!!
GM! Glad you're... alright? Infections are nasty, just glad you're still around!
EY! There he is, sounds like you had some more important stuff to deal with. Don't rush yourself if you still don't feel up to it, don't want you to make it worse on our behalf.
Yeah - now that we know you weren't kidnapped by aliens or something a day or two won't really matter. And welcome back : )
No no, the aliens I fought off.
Bugger. Not gelling tonight. Have much of tomorrow off, will try again. Sorry, all.
No worries! Take whatever time you need to make it feel right :)
Bugger. Not gelling tonight. Have much of tomorrow off, will try again. Sorry, all.
More than fair. We're waiting, but we're waiting because we want everyone happy with it. Good luck finding the words.
So...
Yep.
Mhm.
I concur.
Maybe the aliens came back? *pew pew pew fingerguns*
Yeah. Those X-com guys are really slacking!
...Better cut their funding so they work harder or something ...
Or force them to do slave labor for the military industrial complex.
We can force them to mass-produce cutting edge weaponry and sell them to the highest bidders across the globe, just to pay their bills.
We took management courses at Foxconn...
Just a heads up: I'll be on vacation and traveling for the next 10 or so days. I'm unlikely to have time to post or have internet connection, so if I'm quiet, that's why. GM, feel free to use my characters to move the campaign along.
Enjoy the vacation!
With closing in on a month without gameplay update(18.April), and another 9 days since last discussion life sign(3.May) I do admit I am growing concerned.
There's real life causing all sorts of problems. I should know.
But during such times, slowdowns, I feel it's important to understand what IS going on, keep in touch.
In other words, I would request, on behalf of all the players, that you at least write a 1-3 line update every couple days, letting us know that you are still there, whats the holdup, and when you think things will get better.
I much prefer it if you correct that estimate 3 times and post 2 weeks later that you first assumed, over not knowing anything at all.
It only takes a minute or two to write a short statement. If you feel that is not conveniently possible, fine as well, do it once and tell us when to expect to hear back from you.
Could you do that for us, Mister GM?
I AM HERE
O, you meant the GM, whoops
I AM HERE
O, you meant the GM, whoops
Pretty much.
I think we're all attached to the game, so worst case we have to find a second gm to pinch hit while Wyrm recovers from real life. We could call him GM One.
I don't know, Wyrm seemed to have modified a lot for this game, and with twelve players I would be surprised to find someone willing to fill in. It's a lot of work.
Really, though. So much of this was changed from the base, I don't think there's anybody that might be able to fill in. All we really "know" is that we'll be facing a devourer soon and going mythic.
Well, I'm pretty sure that the number of players won't be an issue if this campaign ever restarts. If there haven't been a few dropouts by now over this, I'll be very surprised indeed.
I can understand being busy with life and all, but what excuse is there for not finding 5 minutes to use your phone while you're taking a shit or waiting in line, and dropping a quick message? Otherwise, you just leave people thinking you've run the f*&~ over or something.
I bet you really don't want to know I'm taking a shitload right now :P
