@GM Parrot: I think you do a pretty good job of keeping track, especially given said complexities.
Not bad just really busy and this weekend won't be much better. I am the GM for my group and picked a crazy amount of work for the campaign, cause I don't like simple. As to sleep last night was the first night in like a month I got a solid eight hours of uninterrupted sleep. It was magical!
Thanks, Tal! I just wanted to do a quick PSA that thigns are gonna get harder as we go.
Vael: glad you got a night in! It is a good feeling.
Just so you all know, I won't be available much at all on Friday, and a limited amount on Saturday and Sunday.
Job interview today. The company's name is also a DnD class, which makes me happy.
Obviously, Alchemist...lol.
Good luck!
Is it a class that is Of the Coast?
Oracle
Oracle is a really good guess... but it's a lil' baby startup.
Ok then...
Unchained Barabarian
I should have known you would take this as a riddle.
Rogue...genius....lol
I should have known you would take this as a riddle.
Well, it is the nature of your audience...
But regardless, good luck! I hope it goes great for you.
Heh! We've discovered that all tech startups should be named after PC classes.
They'll let me know next week. Fingers crossed.
...aaaand I didn't get that job. Oh well.
On to the next dozen applications!
...aaand I have been hired to teach this autumn at my current job, so at least we're not staring the wolf of unemployment in the eyes! Still going to hunt for something more permanent, though.
Good luck with continued job hunt!
I've a brutal headache. I'll get back to posting when I replace that with free time.

Hooray for a balanced karma. The right thing will come at the right time.

It has been about five months in real time since we started exploring this diseased level, so I’m collecting some key posts here. Here are the references that I found that talk about left hands, including the room we are in now. If this is the fountain that Yaza has been watching, then this is certainly ground zero for the disease. It sounds like the goop around this level is flowing from here. Every mural and statue we’ve come across has been defaced to remove the left hands. The bodies and zombies we’ve found so far are missing left hands. It looks like we found those hands now, around the neck of the statue in this room. My spellcraft check showed that cleaning the statue alone isn’t enough to end this, but there is probably a non-magical way to do so.
While it would be tricky to pull out a Spy Eye to check the angle during combat (would take a full round to draw, activate, and then triangulate), you have correctly identified this fountain as one of the locations monitored by Yaza, and you can assume that the spy eye is in here somewhere.
Cheers Tragershen, that is helpful!
And sinusitis is damn annoying. Easing off at the moment though.

Kick that demon plague!
Cheers Anzath. :)
I got interrupted before I could write up a post in gameplay, and I'm only now back to the forums.
I've also gone and ordered a trio of 5E books from Frog God Games. Fifth Edition Foes, Tome of Horrors, and Book of Lost Spells. I intend to use those when throwing a converted Slumbering Tsar at my weekly tabletop group. :D
Vael's let me know that they'll be leaving the campaign because of time pressures in real life. I've always enjoyed my games with Death's Adorable Apprentice, and the game is wide open for them should things calm down.
Fortunately, my other friend is pretty much ready to join. Time for a do-si-do. I'll drive Vael until combat is over, but I'll also have my other friend join as soon as ready.
We'll miss you Vael!

I will miss you all too! This is a phenomenal group but I know right know I cannot keep up.
It's been great having you, Vael!
Good luck, DAA.
All the best Vael!
On a note, there's a Frog God Games humble bundle for 5th edition supplements. Lots and lots of stuff, including bits for 5E Rappan Athuk!
If things calm down for you, DAA, I hope you swing back through!

Um, HECK YEAH!!! Thanks for bringing this to my attention. My 11 year old grandson reads voraciously, and it will be great to have some content that's not from the WOTC 5e books that will be a surprise for him. :)
I'm glad to hear it. :) I picked it up myself. My players are aware that I'm accumulating core and 3rd party 5E. Let their paranoia grow! :D
And the bits of Rappan Athuk available there are parts we've already covered, so no spoilers for grandpa!
It's cool that they have an expanded Zelkor's Ferry book--I wonder if it's older than our game, or if we were on an interesting shared wavelength when we started this Zelkor's Ferry-heavy playthrough of Rappan Athuk.
I've had a quick glance over the pdfs. It was downright nostalgic to read up on events and monsters that we've dealt with. :)
Welcome, Adelie! I'm sorry about the web spell. I thought it made sense when I cast it. I'll drop it ASAP if you don't burn through it first.
Thank you! And I'm sorry for burning up your nice webs!
Map updated! Fountain of Pestilence Masked 7. Aurora is off the map down the stairs.
Seattle area folk: the SAM’s Victorian art special exhibit is pretty rad!
Sounds worth a look. :)
Going camping this weekend, so i wont be able to post. Bot if you need to.
@Talathel: you can probably either walk, train, or drive to collections of art that put Seattle's museums to shame--but this traveling exhibit is well done, and I got to see a bunch of stuff in person for the first time. Some of the coolest Dante Gabriel Rossetti paintings, among others. I also liked the inclusion of metalwork, glasswork, embroidery, and design among the paintings and drawings.

@Anzath: have fun! I need to go camping soon, myself.
Those do look great. :) I do love a good art exhibit.
I just got a note from Lolly--we may have our first return customer!
In accordance with ye law of ye open door: they who hath left ye game are yet welcome to return!
We'll roll seven deep for a while if Lolz decides to rejoin.
DR is a pain in my arse right now.

You were chasing mithril when you should have been after cold iron. ;)
It would be great to Lolly back! The more meat shields, the better!
I'm all for Lolly's return.

Every time I see Lolly's name, I can't help but think of this...
Lolly the adverbial warrior strikes swiftly, silently, and deadly-ly!
Both seem appropriate...lol.
