:) take care of work. :) we'll be here. Congrats on more hours.
No worries man, take all the time you need, I plan on sticking through with you until the end of this.
Again, apologize for the lack of posts. Once I get back into the swing of things at work--and they stop keeping me there for extra hours--I should be able to post more, and once I get back to school in August I should be very well set to post regularly.
Until then, if I forget or you haven't heard from me in a day or two, gimme a nudge; post in discussion to tell me to post, send me a PM, whatever. If you remind me, unless I'm exhausted and its 3 AM or something, I'll post when I see it.
So guys, fight or run? If we fight and capture one of them we could potentially get some information.
Do what you do. I don't tend to try to strategize a lot. I just respond to the characters. But you guys can discuss, I may join in on occasion. :)
Haha, I looked at the gameplay thread first. Running's not so much Kierana's style - there's someone been wrongfully injured, after all. Vengeance is kind of her thing. :)
EDIT: I am all for trying to capture one in the fight, though. Information is always a good thing.
Ahto's trying to put on a show for the crowd - to be seen as a law and order kinda guy.
I figure that the watch comes - they run for it - we help track them down, and instead of turning them in, find out what they know (*cracks knuckles*).
These guys cut the hand off of a man for proving guilt. Pyrrha favors the eye for an eye, a hand for a hand approach.
Expect some possible hiccups in my posting; my laptop's LCD screen is cracked, and I have yet to find somewhere to repair it for a reasonable price. Unfortunately I know little to nothing about computer HARDWARE problems, so it isn't something I can fix myself.
I'm getting it fixed ASAP, but it may end up being Thursday or so until I get it back, depending on how long it takes. From my own (limited) knowledge I wouldn't expect it to take more than a day for the repairs, assuming they have a replacement piece in stock, but who knows? I expect I will have it back and working again by Friday, at the latest.
I do have a home computer, but when I'm away from home or it's in use, I can't rely on that. I'll post as much as I'm able, but expect it to slow down a tad.
Copy that. :) Sorry about your laptop.
I'm going to post in the morning, before work. The home computer is usually free around then.
I'll have eyes out for it! Sorry for your broken screen. :(
Guy said it would cost $150, but I'm sure he's overcharging me. I'm gonna shop around, see if any friends could do it, that kind of thing. I expect the actual repair will be the shortest part of this whole thing.
Yeah, that's usually the case. Trying to get a decent deal is far more difficult than actually getting the repair done.
Any luck yet with the computer, mate?
Not yet. Making some more calls today. Gonna post here in a minute, though. Home computer is open, so I'll be on that.
I'll be updating my stats as soon as I can get a hold of Occult Adventures. Which should be soon.
How many hit points did I get back from the healing potion?
It looks likely that a fight is coming, and 4 hit points won't go very far.
Any magical healing automatically heals ALL non-lethal damage, so Ahto is at full HP.
Update on my laptop situation: It's looking like unfortunately it's more cost effective to just replace the damn thing, rather than pay someone to fix the screen on the original. I wasn't really... looking to upgrade, but you gotta do what you gotta do, right?
I'll probably order a new one in the next few days, get me something nice and shiny with Windows 10 or something... my wallet is crying already.
Glad it created an opportunity for you to have a better computer...even if it wasn't in the most time-sensitive manner. :/
Ooh, yeah, nice and shiny makes pocketbooks cry. :( But new and shiny toys...:/ Haha
I'm HOPING my inheritance money can be used for it, because I can't use it for anything other than education until I'm 24. But the laptop is an education expense, so...
I've bought a laptop as an education expense before. Mind you that was with research money, but hopefully it's not to different!
Well, my grandfather's will says that I can only use it for my education until I'm 24. When I bought my current laptop it was an educational expense when it comes to taxes, but I don't know that the same rules apply to his estate. My mother is the executor of the will, so I'll have to ask her about it. If that works out, I can definitely afford something new and nice looking, if not... this may be an interesting little ride.
Are you in college yet?
Yes, heading into junior year. And while the situation is still... crappy, it looks like I should be able to get myself a very nice new laptop.
At least you get the new laptop, even if the situation is crappy. :)
Very nice. :)
A friend of mine died in a vehicle collision on Friday, his older sister is also one of my best friends and I am doing my best to make myself fully available to her if she needs me. I'll keep up with the play by post as best I can. All we really can do is grieve and remember and support eachother, so it shouldn't affect my time here too greatly.
Oh no! I'm sorry for your loss.
My condolences, man. Losing someone suddenly like that really rocks your reality.
Deepest sympathies to you, your friend and her family Zeph.
I'm sorry to hear that. :/
Oh man, really sorry to hear that. If you aren't going to be around for a day or two, for the funeral or viewing or anything else, just let me know. We'll be here when you get back if you need to take a little time off.
Thank you for your condolences guys. Life can be so surreal sometimes.
By the way, I've gotten to read Occult Adventures now and I am really pleased with how the kineticist turned out. I have many many choices in my future.
I'm just waiting on Brand at this point, before moving into the next segment of the chase. If he doesn't post in a day or so, I'll roll for him and then we'll move on.
He posts an average of once every four days (9 total so far). Hasn't posted since Saturday, so...tonight's the night?

You were right
Zeph is now updated to the published Occult Adventures rules. I can suddenly shoot much further now!
Hey guys, gameplay post will go up tomorrow. I worked late last night and early this morning, so I've been pretty beat all day today. I'm off at 4 tomorrow, so I'll probably either post right when I get home, or after I sleep for a bit.
Sounds good, we'll be here!
Thanks for understanding, but I do apologize for my rather erratic posting. I've been ramping up hours at work because I need money for textbooks, and they've been flip-flopping my hours on me so I'm working days then nights, etc. But school is almost here, and then I will be concerned with entirely different things beyond my cotrol.
In all seriousness, once I move in to my apartment, things should move a lot smoother. My new laptop is being shipped to school and should arrive within a day or two of my own move-in, and I'll have several days to settle in before my classes start. Once they do, I'll have a much more regular schedule, so my posting times and frequency will be much more standardized.
I understand, things are the same for me in almost every way. Senior year of post secondary here I come!
By the way, just to be clear, I'm still totally watching the thread to see the action unfold. But with no way but resting to recover, Kierana's not terribly helpful at this point, which is why she stepped out. I'm still in on this. :)
Likeswise, still making my way around to head them off and double back.
Is it fine to assume we can find our way to Pyrrha and Korihor now?
Yeah, you can find the two of them.
Hey everybody! Gameplay post will go up tomorrow, I've been getting everything packed up to head back to school, so I haven't had a lot of time to post. I'll be having all my data transferred onto my new laptop tomorrow as well, but while I'm driving/waiting for my laptop to be ready, I won't be able to post. I'm gonna get my gameplay post up before I leave, though.
Sorry for the interruptions. Should be pretty smooth sailing from about Wednesday onward.
