I'm not ruling that out. Maybe once the crazy of having two jobs gets more manageable. Or some of my other games finish up. I wish homebrew didn't take up so much time. :(

No worries man, real life is real life. I'm glad your taking it through to the end, and if it's any consolation, your increase of other obligations coincided with mine quite nicely, so I haven't mind the slowdown.
it's all good to me. i have gotten busy as well, in addition to having things i should be doing instead of posting that i put off because posting is more fun.

Story of my life, Tenro! There's a reason I limit myself to 3 games on the boards.
Yeah i try to limit myself and then some juicy recruitment comes up, or i read a new book and want to make a character based on one of the ones in the book
Acrobatics:+10/+18 to Jump, Climb:+5, Escape Artist:+10, Fly:+3, Heal:+5, Kn.(Arcana):+6, Ride:+3, Sense Motive:+5, Spellcraft:+6, Stealth:+10, Survival:+5, Swim:+5
Sorry all, really busy at work and home. I am hoping to post Friday or some time this weekend. In fact, it is 12:35 am and I am installing one million dollar network system. My data center engineers are replacing a bad fiber cable so I am posting this while I have time.
Hi guys, I have this rule that if a game falls to one or two posts a week from the GM, I gave it a few weeks the drop. Games like that just slow to a death and Im getting that feeling here.
I will give it a few more weeks but if it gets slower have to say I will drop. This is a personal thing but it lets me keep in games that are moving along.
And that is all my fault I apologize. My life has gone from busy to busier. You'll have one major encounter left before the end of this section and I will be closing it at that time. I should have that update ready later tonight.

And I'll squeeze a post between the next two days. Game picked back up on a week where my motivation's pretty shot to hell, but I'll get there.
The Craving really, going after the big bad alone while half the party is tapped next to it. They are taking DMG and can do nothing, we need to get them out and then heal regroup. Going alone offer this thing. Best I can hope for is you PC holds or I am wrong about what this thing is.

So! To clarify a couple of things:
As Choon said, I put myself on the opposite side before hitting it, ensuring that not only was it the only thing I hit, but that I'm aggro-ing it away from where the party is. The intention was to test the strength of the thing, and offer myself as a diversion if I'm in over my head (which seems to be the case).
One half of my gestalt (Master of Forms) runs on a chassis of focus and stances, which get reset after so many minutes out of combat. I was fully charged and in a stance well built for defense - if I were to wait until I was healed and everyone was out, I would have reset, and I'd likely just get creamed trying to get close to the thing and charge up again. At least this way, I put a dent in it.
OOC, I play Pathfinder to have fun - I assume everyone does, and so I'm sorry if my character's actions put a damper on that for you or anyone else. Considering that this is the last fight before the game ends, I'm not worried about Craven's survival (nor was I ever, tbh), and picking a fight with the big-bad to try to put space between it and the rest of the party was the fun option for me. I didn't consider it so strategically poor that it would ruin someone else's time, either.
Finally, as a minor nitpick:
GM Choon wrote:
Craving - your patrol doesn't take long to turn up wounded enemy troops. And dead ones. Pieces and...
Though Onyx had narrated as finally freeing herself, Craven was the only character explicitly stated as coming across the big-bad, assumedly because I had rolled Perception. He was going to share that information as a part of his action, but if you want to split hairs, Onyx wouldn't have known about it until Craven had already attacked.
Either way, hope there's no hard feelings, Panic; just letting you know what I'm doing and why I'm doing it.
I'm in the same boat. Knowing the game is about fun and fighting and survival is a low chance and even if we survive the game is still over, I dont care what anyone does as long as its fun.
Ok Taken a nice big Chill-lax pill, Think I must have been feeling bad after the whole roof dropped in on the party, and did not want to see anyones PC die.
The Craving, if that's how you feel your PC would have done things I'm not going to be a d**k over it. Its your right to play your PC how ever you wish and GM Seems happy with the pay, so move on. :)
Friendly request to make sure your hp is up to date. Not sure if everyone is or isn't up to date, but it'll make it easier to keep people alive if we know who needs help. ALso GM, any chance we can get an updated battle map? Might make decisions a bit easier here. Either way, thanks!

Check the gameplay thread? Still slow, but you've missed like a round and a half, Panic.
The outside forces are effectively pinned down by you. If you wanted you could spare a round in three or so to toss a bit of pain at the fire golem thing.

Ahh, sure. Hadn't been keeping that close of an eye on your actions, my bad. In either case, I only wanted to get my 2 cents across that I didn't consider the game any more or less dead than it's been for the past couple of months. >.>
Thus we are ended. Thanks for playing guys. I'm sorry it died so slowly, but I appreciate your involvement and look forward to playing with you ask again.
Thanks for the opportunity. Playtesting class combos (even slowly) is always something I look out for, especially for more exotics things. Good luck all, and happy gaming!
Duely noted. I've discovered that is very hard to kill people in pathfinder. Especially when gestalted healers are involved. You all survived very well.
Good. Yeah two healers, particularly the combo of the two we had, was very effective. any healing that hits multiple targets, such as channel, coupled with the collective is amazing.
i had a similar setup in a Dark Sun game with my Vitalist and a Cleric, it was downplayed somewhat by the Cleric having been such that they had less Channels per day than normal (archetype or low ability score, I forget which).
Yup! Was pretty fun, thanks Choon and others. Depending on the context of another game, I could be interested, so hit me up. This one I enjoyed, but I don't think your GMing style meshed with what my goal with joining the game was - wanted to tool around with builds a bit, found myself handling narration and ad-hocing a bit more than I expected. In another game though, different mindset? I'd be way down.
