I take it Avril doesn't see any sign of something living in the courtyard? Does she hear anything that would indicate which buildings may be occupied?

Pinotage

[Creamsteak]

Not without getting closer. I would think the smoke is a pretty good way of telling somebody is inside of the south-west building.

[Creamsteak]

I've noticed a slump in activity since the start of they Hydra encounter. Anyone MIA or not checking the thread?

[Creamsteak]

Give me a clear sign when your all ready to go ahead and storm the castle.

[Pinotage]

Avril's ready. She'll still cast a few spells before going, but just waiting for the other players to chime in that we're ready.

Pinotage

[Redclaw]

Larian's ready, minus a spell or two as we get closer.

[Arkhandus]

I'm ready, just been kinda busy and distracted the past few days, but I have checked the thread at least once a day.

[DrZombie]

ready

[Pinotage]

Just advance warning that I'll be unable to post on Friday and Saturday this week. Back to normal on Sunday.

Hey CS, what does the door to the building the manticore's in look like? Would Larian have to open it to have line of effect in?

[Creamsteak]

You would have to open it for line of effect. It's a heavy wooden door, but nothing particularly special about it.

[Pinotage]

Creamsteak, can you let me know if Warren (when he posts) and Larian finish the minotaur, please? It'll make a difference to Avril's action particularly considering Scarlet's current status.

Pinotage

[Creamsteak]

Will do.

Also since I'm posting in this thread, If Siobhan's player doesn't post by the time you all next get to town I'm going to replace him with someone else (one of the original backups if at all possible, otherwise someone new). I don't mind running it through the combats, I've played a lot of clerics before so it's no stretch, but obviously my preference is active players. I could also just let him drop, and not replace the position, if people think that will help the game since it will be slightly faster.

[Redclaw]

I don't know that losing our cleric is a great idea. That would really limit Avril's role, as she'd need to be prepared to hit us with healing spells.

[Pinotage]

Given that Siobhan's player hasn't posted in a while, just assume that she's gone until she returns. That'll speed things up during the combat, at least, rather than you having to wait. I'd agree, though, that'd we'd ideally want a cleric replacement.

Pinotage

[Creamsteak]

Understandable, and I'd like the character to continue to be played, but it's also an occational necessity in PbP to deal with missing players.

[pathfinderq1]

I definitely think we ought to keep a dedicated cleric in the party- either Siobhan (somehow) or another recruited cleric.

[Creamsteak]

If we have a volunteer to pick up the character that might work well without having to change much. Or it's possible that Zoycitenega will become active again. Either way the decision will wait till the group is in Drellin's Ferry, which could be sooner or later depending on player choices.

[Dalamar]

I might just commit myself to continuing Siobhan's adventures, but I would like to do some minor alterations (most notable among them making his weapon rules-legal).
