Och, I'm sorry to hear this, but I totally understand. Writing sure is the least fun part of science. I hope things get better for you. And again, thanks. It's been a great and long game, and I'll always be glad to have played in it even if we don't get to wrap it up. Looking forward to seeing you again in a few months, whatever the result might be.

As others have said, take the time you need. For a hobby where writer's block is a sufficient explanation to take an extended break, what you have on your plate is more than enough reason. Thank you sharing, know it's hard after some time off to come back to say you need more time, but that's sometimes the situation we have. Best of luck with everything, and of course will be around and more than accepting whatever you're able to do/whatever conclusion you can do for the game or not. Echo Shadeus's sentiments, that it's been a great game, easily the longest I've been on and been interesting to see what a long campaign looks like firsthand.

Sorry to hear you are having such a a difficult time right now. It sounds like you do want to come back, but aren't in a good enough place right now so do that. One bit of advice as a fellow manager is to consider your workload and see if there are things you can delegate to your team. Your job isn't meant to be this all consuming monster. If you can delegate some of the more mundane tasks, it frees you up to manage the team. That takes some pressure off all the meetings and some of the writing. I obviously don't know your exact job or understand the reality of it, but that helped me be a lot more comfortable in my own job and also made me a lot happier as a result. Best of luck and we hope to see you in a few months! And if that doesn't work out, it still was a great game.

Awww Nixis. That's entirely understandable. Life changes and the time we have to do things can shift a bit with it. Long COVID is certainly a big factor that can make things more difficult to handle... not to mention, all of your new responsibilities at home and work. I do know how it feels when it gets harder to post and forcing it I think does more harm than good. I hope you can take a nice rest, let the pressure off and we'll see how you feel in a few months. For my part, I am willing to wait and see.

Hi everyone, Happy New Year. I've had this sitting on my computer screen for nearly a month now, but couldn't bring myself to post it. I am sorry for vanishing on you. I've had to come to terms over the past two months that I don't have the capacity or drive at this point to keep doing Mythweavers in a way that is responsible and respectful of your time, and I've been dealing with a lot of **feelings** about that. Cycles of sadness, avoidance and determination to just post anyways. TLDR - I need to take a break from mythweavers for probably a couple of months. I'd *like* to come back and discuss either resuming the game at that point or calling it if I haven't improved, but I'd also be happy to just write out what the remainder of the story looked like from my end and we can let it go. A longer explanation: When we started this game, I was a somewhat bored, somewhat underchallenged researcher in an academic lab. I had a really great schedule - I could update games in the morning while my experiments were running and always felt on top of things. I had given up my more intensive games - the ones that brought about the setting for my world - when my daughter was born because those required setting aside multiple times per day in which I could check and post, but for the games where I was maybe updating one every day or every two days, it worked fantastically. Fast forward to 2020. I got a professorship! I started my own lab! So exciting. And then the pandemic hit. Things were now more challenging because I had my kids underfoot all day, but it was still usually possible to post in my usual timeframes. Once we got back in the office, though, things started ramping up - more activities, more people to manage, more balls to juggle and meetings to go to. I still could manage, but with increasing frequency, the time I had to check and post shifted from the morning to the late evening, when I was more tired and it was harder to be creative. Still... okay. Posting definitely slowed down, but it was managable. On top of that, the **type** of my work was changing. I was going from a lot of hands-on experiments to a LOT of writing. Thats basically all I do for my job now - manage people, go to meetings, and write, write, write. Sometimes at the end of the day the last thing I possibly wanted to do was write more - even if Mythweavers writing was totally different from the standard writing I did for work. And as I was managing more and more people, that meant that the writing I did for work now sometimes had to be pushed out of its normal windows and into the late evening, totally displacing Mythweavers time. Still, it was... okay. I felt bad - all the time - that I wasn't keeping up the pace I used to be able to, but I wasn't slipping other than a week or two every couple of months in terms of updating. And then I finally got COVID earlier this year and I've never quite recovered from that. I have some mild form of Long COVID at this point - easily fatigued, occasional brain fog, that rears its head at frequent but not predictable intervals. This has totally thrown any system I had into chaos. Basically any time I have to write I am using to keep up with the times when I'm at work that I **should** be writing but don't feel capable of doing so. Likewise, sometimes the times I had planned to write in the evenings are overruled by my body demanding sleep **now** which puts me even further behind and exacerbates everything. And so here we are. I try to find the energy to design and write a post, maybe get it partway put together - maybe even tell you all I have it mostly ready - and then BAM I'm not able to do it for a a few days, which makes me feel bad and avoidant and by the time that passes... I'm in the midst of another wave of exhaustion or a spike in work and I don't have the capacity to post, and it snowballs. And so I think I need to take a break for a bit. Work to establish new routines, work to continue to deal with this new reality health-wise I find myself in (things **are** improving, just on a slower timeframe than I'd like.) One of my resolutions for this new year that I've been putting together is to do a better job at managing my trainees so that less of my time is spend ad hoc helping them and that I have more time built into my day to do the writing part of my job, which will hopefully free up time to do the things I love to do, like this game. It is my hope that doing this will get me back to a place that I can play with all of you again in a way that is respectful of your time. I would LIKE to come back, check in in say, 3 months or so, so maybe early/mid april and let you know how I'm doing and make a more long-term decision about things at that point. My hope is that I'll be in a better place at that point. That said, I also totally understand that 'lets take a break for a few months' isn't what any of us signed up for and that another path forward would be to have me write out what else I was planning to have happen in the game and give us all some closure. Regardless of what happens, I want to say thank you to each of you for this entire journey. I've thought so much about each of your characters, told stories to my RL friends about the times you were clever or funny or just totally surprised me. Each of you and your PCs have taught me things that I want to take forward into the characters that I play in the future, and the games that I run. Thank you, and hopefully see you in a few months to see this thing to its end... one way or another.

Well time to take a city!

OOC I think Marut is forgetting that once they're in the city they are going to be sneaking all about which is exactly where Marut shines - and what just turned the prison break adventure from something that I was anticipating would involve several fights and a more, uh, kinetic ending to you all just waltzing through the entire facility, freeing people, and then waltzing back out :D Sorry for the delay. Was traveling, dealing with more post-covid complications (reaaaallly not a fan) and designing this capstone to the Sunbringer/Dox portion of the campaign. Basically, this is going to play out in a few parts. 1) Infiltration. You need to get into the city (not a problem with Torfinn's good idea), sneak through the city to one of the gates, subdue the guards as quietly as possible, and open the gate to allow Zaniyah and the guards inside. 2) The battle against the Dox. This is something that you can let go on behind the scenes as you do other things, or take a more active role in. Basically, I've been keeping track of the choices you've been making in both this section and the last and you have an 'army' on your side that consists of the Circle bolstered by a few of the 'regular' thieves in the city, a 2/3rds strength Cult of the Blade, Zaniyah's guards, who you lost a few, but not a ton of to the undead below, and Marie and Ksenia but NOT Chadston, who is being kept behind for his safety. Against them are the Dox, whose strength is known only to me :D The fight between the Dox and the 'Allies' will be happening sort of like the fight for Malbrig's temple in the Forest. A bunch of rolls that will determine how things are working. Once we get there, you will have the opportunity to help one or more of the groups along with the fight, improving their odds, but taking away advantages that you might accrue for the final portion 3) The hunt for and defeat(?) of the Sunbringer. Without her defeat, the Dox will remain in charge, but her current location, her escort strength, etc is currently unknown. You will figure out where she is, work to peel away her escorts, and finally confront and defeat her. The more you help the main army, the less chances you will have to do the rest. Its later than I thought it was going to be by the time I finished writing this, so I'll actually advance the plot IC tomorrow.

The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit. - Second WindYou have a limited well of stamina that you can draw on to protect yourself from harm. On your turn, you can use a bonus action to regain hit points equal to 1d10 + your fighter level. Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again. - Action SurgeStarting at 2nd level, you can push yourself beyond your normal limits for a moment. On your turn, you can take one additional action. Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again. Starting at 17th level, you can use it twice before a rest, but only once on the same turn. - Manifest EchoYou can use a bonus action to magically manifest an echo of yourself in an unoccupied space you can see within 15 feet of you. This echo is a magical, translucent, gray image of you that lasts until it is destroyed, until you dismiss it as a bonus action, until you manifest another echo, or until you're incapacitated. Your echo has AC 14 + your proficiency bonus, 1 hit point, and immunity to all conditions. If it has to make a saving throw, it uses your saving throw bonus for the roll. It is the same size as you, and it occupies its space. On your turn, you can mentally command the echo to move up to 30 feet in any direction (no action required). If your echo is ever more than 30 feet from you at the end of your turn, it is destroyed. You can use the echo in the following ways: - As a bonus action, you can teleport, magically swapping places with your echo at a cost of 15 feet of your movement, regardless of the distance between the two of you. - When you take the Attack action on your turn, any attack you make with that action can originate from your space or the echo's space. You make this choice for each attack. - When a creature that you can see within 5 feet of your echo moves at least 5 feet away from it, you can use your reaction to make an opportunity attack against that creature as if you were in the echo's space. - Unleash IncarnationYou can heighten your echo's fury. Whenever you take the Attack action, you can make one additional melee attack from the echo's position. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. - Dread AmbusherAt 3rd level, you master the art of the ambush. You can give yourself a bonus to your initiative rolls equal to your Wisdom modifier. At the start of your first turn of each combat, your walking speed increases by 10 feet, which lasts until the end of that turn. If you take the Attack action on that turn, you can make one additional weapon attack as part of that action. If that attack hits, the target takes an extra 1d8 damage of the weapon's damage type. - Echo AvatarYou can temporarily transfer your consciousness to your echo. As an action, you can see through your echo's eyes and hear through its ears. During this time, you are deafened and blinded. You can sustain this effect for up to 10 minutes, and you can end it at any time (requires no action). While your echo is being used in this way, it can be up to 1,000 feet away from you without being destroyed. Background Feature: Name DroppingYou know and have met any number of powerful people across the land—and some of them might even remember you. You might be able to wrangle minor assistance from a major figure in the campaign, at the DM's discretion. Additionally, the common folk treat you with deference, and your heritage and the stories you tell might be good for a free meal or a place to sleep. Feats: SentinelYou have mastered techniques to take advantage of every drop in any enemy's guard, gaining the following benefits: - When you hit a creature with an opportunity attack, the creature's speed becomes 0 for the rest of the turn. - Creatures provoke opportunity attacks from you even if they take the Disengage action before leaving your reach. - When a creature within 5 feet of you makes an attack against a target other than you (and that target doesn't have this feat), you can use your reaction to make a melee weapon attack against the attacking creature., Resilient (Wis)Choose one ability score. You gain the following benefits: - Increase the chosen ability score by 1, to a maximum of 20. - You gain proficiency in saving throws using the chosen ability. Marut shrugs, uncaring if his idea was selected. However, the one thing he doesn't like is that he's a watcher. He's having to leave all the fun stuff to the spellcaster, and he...shows up. They have been chasing the Sunbringer for so long now he's unsure how he feels about it coming to a close. Some of them think that worshipping Hykeros is a good thing. But he knows they are being used and have been corrupted. But how can they not see him the same way? The Dox must think him a fool. Although, they did take over Terena, and that's not cool. It's fine. The naga doesn't say anything and gets ready to tag along. Tabletop

"The fourth and last link we be with Chadston, who should stand back. You're one of the few people the Dox will take extra effort to target and we cannot lose you. That way, we can coordinate if we need to get you further out to safety." She looks around to the others. "The other things we need to know is where the Sunbringer will be, and how to isolate her. Much of that may have to be worked out once the fighting begins." A sinking feel takes Eclair as she considers her words. No looking back though.

Eyes widen at Marut's suggestion to place people within a bag of holding and after a moment Ciceron Boma laughs "While that idea certainly gets points for creativity, I would much rather stride across the bottom of the river in full plate than be crammed into a dark bag with hundreds of my friends, and I very much would not like to do the former! But, perhaps, there is merit in this approach. It would certainly guarantee your ability to enter the city without notice. Perhaps if we choose a particularly misty day, coupled with your unobserved entry into the city and a Message from Eclair to myself and the Circle to start being as distracting as possible, you could take one of the gatehouses and let the rest of the guard inside." "We do not... have to leave it to chance." Marie says quietly. "I am... weak. But I can still support... this. Let me speak with Ksenia... She... has a spell to weave a fog cloud thick... enough to obscure... a large... large area. I... can provide... some assistance..." She stops speaking, clearly exhausted. At her side, Chadston frowns in concern, but then adds "I, too, can help with this spell. It alone is not enough, but combined with a group on the inside and a distraction, it should be enough." "How does this sound then to you four, who will be facing the most danger? Torfinn, you will do your ritual to get your group - and anyone else mad enough to wish to join you - under the river and into the Bastos/Circle warehouse. At that point, you will lay low for a few hours and then Eclair will send messages to myself, the Circle, and the Blades. We will move forward under cover of fog and get as close as possible, at which point the rebellion will begin within the city as you approach the gatehouse from the inside. You will subdue the guards, let us in, and we will retake the city - while you go deal with the Sunbringer herself. Is this amenable to all? What should we add to the plan?" One by one, the others gathered at the table nod, but they are watching all of you as you are the key figures in it.

Marut is not much known for his quick thinking, but he knows how to crush stuff. So he usually leaves the thinking things to Torfinn. But even then, it doesn't sound like a great plan. He looks to Torfinn and says, "Yo, I dunno. Walkin' in the riva sounds a bit rough. Maybes there's a way ta put in somethin' like them bag of holdin' and then we just gotta sneak a fews of us in and then just...let 'em out. I mean, if we gots ta use the riva, okays. But just thinkin' of other stuff." The naga shrugs not knowing if his idea has any merit. As Eclair mentions the Sunbringer, he scoffs and says, "Damn straight, we takin' her out." Tabletop There's a 7th-level spell call Magnificent Mansion that would let us do this. We could conjure the portal on a movable thing (like a wagon) and then walk into the city. A portable hole would let us do something similar. Another thought would be to use the Arcane Gate idea. I'm sure we can come up with a safe place inside the city. The trick would be getting everyone safely outside the wall within 500 feet of it. We would be seen gathering by the wall. The only idea I have there is to use other spells to hide that there are 200+ people lingering outside the walls. We could look at plant growth potentially or maybe an illusion.

The others know it's a sign of some sort of newly granted power as it's happened several times now. "I can communicate directly to four people, four taking lead in different parts of Terena to help coordinate our attack in real time, as many times as we need." She looks around, gauging that the last words said by Liese as she walked in are not quite landing. "We also have our arcane gate, though that is one of your more potent spells. It's less... startling to those who need to breathe air though." It's not just Torfinn, but herself she exempts from that category, now fully used to not breathing except as part of speaking. "Whatever we decide, I want one thing clear. The four of us are going after the Sunbringer." She looks to Marut as if to suggest even more that she know it's his mission to do what he needs to for his own faith. She weighs how she's let him and the others kill so many enemies, including the Dox, whil she's only killed one... as magical backlash from the man's own attack. She knows deep down now there's no escaping it this time. There's simply no situation she can conceive where she won't finally be killing living, sentient beings. She accepts this truth.

You must make or acquire a physical totem object- an amulet or similar adornment—that incorporates fur, feathers, claws, teeth, or bones of the totem animal. At your option, you also gain minor physical attributes that are reminiscent of your totem spirit. For example, if you have a bear totem spirit, you might be unusually hairy and thick-skinned, or if your totem is the eagle, your eyes turn bright yellow. Your totem animal might be an animal related to those listed here but more appropriate to your homeland. For example, you could choose a hawk or vulture in place of an eagle. Spiritual Shield (Bear): While raging, you have resistance to all damage except psychic damage. The spirit of the bear makes you tough enough to stand up to any punishment.

Additionally, if you are surprised at the beginning of combat and aren't incapacitated, you can act normally on your first turn, but only if you enter your rage before doing anything else on that turn.[/OOC] [OOC=Brutal Critical (1 die)]Beginning at 9th level, you can roll one additional weapon damage die when determining the extra damage for a critical hit with a melee attack. This increases to two additional dice at 13th level and three additional dice at 17th level.[/OOC] [OOC=Spirit Walker]At 10th level, you can cast the commune with nature spell, but only as a ritual.

You gain the following benefits: When you take the Attack action and attack with only a heavy weapon, you can use a bonus action to make a melee attack with the opposite end of the weapon; this attack uses the same ability modifier as the main attack.

While you are wielding a heavy weapon, other creatures provoke an opportunity attack from you when they enter your reach.[/OOC] [OOC=Blattaria Honey - Savage Attacks x2]When you score a critical hit with a melee weapon attack, you can roll one of the weapon's damage dice one additional time and add it to the extra damage of the critical hit.[/OOC] [OOC=Blattaria Honey - Reckless Abandon]When you use Reckless Attack while raging, you also gain temporary hit points equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1).

You are welcome in high society, and people assume you have the right to be wherever you are. The common folk make every effort to accommodate you and avoid your displeasure, and other people of high birth treat you as a member of the same social sphere.

"I... I know it sounds unpleasant. Honestly... I'm not keen to... throw myself back in the Garrone either... Last time I did... I nearly died." Torfinn's fingers trace one large scar across his plastron—one of many on his shell from that fateful day. "But that was up... up at the Source. And I was... unprepared. It flows slower here on the plains. And if we ballast ourselves to the bottom... and just walk... it should be quite safe? Perhaps tie ourselves together? So nobody gets lost?" It's clear that Torfinn's getting a little desperate in his efforts to convince people, and he gives a deep sigh as he realises that himself. "We need some way into the city..." OOC Just wanted to RP Torfinn's persuasion attempt. He's got an applicable personal anecdote to deploy, though it may not be helpful. 🙂 Hopefully this is fairly representative of a 6.

Alright, time to finally learn how the dice system on Baldr works! Persuasion roll added. It's... not great.

Oh boy!

There is a moment of stunned silence as everyone considers Torfinn's idea, eventually broken by Deben Bastos, who, more to fill the space than anything else says "There is a warehouse we own that opens out onto the water. The Dox watch the River itself carefully - Conveyer, the gnome who took you across before is our best river-smuggler, but even he will eventually be seen across multiple crossings. Yet... if we could get to that warehouse, there are ladders out of the River there - in case someone falls in, of course. Still..." ((More to come after we see the result of Torfinn's persuasion roll))

can you give me a persuasion check? I LOVE this idea... but I'm not sure that the people you are sending across will!

You know what? Sure. I was going to have you get level 12 after you took down the Vox, but lets make that fight extra fun. Welcome to the new boards and Level 12 for all! And I'll make a sheets section and see if that helps at all. I agree, Shadeus... migrating things over is just... tricky - easier to just start from scratch

The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit. - Second WindYou have a limited well of stamina that you can draw on to protect yourself from harm. On your turn, you can use a bonus action to regain hit points equal to 1d10 + your fighter level. Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again. - Action SurgeStarting at 2nd level, you can push yourself beyond your normal limits for a moment. On your turn, you can take one additional action. Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again. Starting at 17th level, you can use it twice before a rest, but only once on the same turn. - Manifest EchoYou can use a bonus action to magically manifest an echo of yourself in an unoccupied space you can see within 15 feet of you. This echo is a magical, translucent, gray image of you that lasts until it is destroyed, until you dismiss it as a bonus action, until you manifest another echo, or until you're incapacitated. Your echo has AC 14 + your proficiency bonus, 1 hit point, and immunity to all conditions. If it has to make a saving throw, it uses your saving throw bonus for the roll. It is the same size as you, and it occupies its space. On your turn, you can mentally command the echo to move up to 30 feet in any direction (no action required). If your echo is ever more than 30 feet from you at the end of your turn, it is destroyed. You can use the echo in the following ways: - As a bonus action, you can teleport, magically swapping places with your echo at a cost of 15 feet of your movement, regardless of the distance between the two of you. - When you take the Attack action on your turn, any attack you make with that action can originate from your space or the echo's space. You make this choice for each attack. - When a creature that you can see within 5 feet of your echo moves at least 5 feet away from it, you can use your reaction to make an opportunity attack against that creature as if you were in the echo's space. - Unleash IncarnationYou can heighten your echo's fury. Whenever you take the Attack action, you can make one additional melee attack from the echo's position. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. - Dread AmbusherAt 3rd level, you master the art of the ambush. You can give yourself a bonus to your initiative rolls equal to your Wisdom modifier. At the start of your first turn of each combat, your walking speed increases by 10 feet, which lasts until the end of that turn. If you take the Attack action on that turn, you can make one additional weapon attack as part of that action. If that attack hits, the target takes an extra 1d8 damage of the weapon's damage type. - Echo AvatarYou can temporarily transfer your consciousness to your echo. As an action, you can see through your echo's eyes and hear through its ears. During this time, you are deafened and blinded. You can sustain this effect for up to 10 minutes, and you can end it at any time (requires no action). While your echo is being used in this way, it can be up to 1,000 feet away from you without being destroyed. Background Feature: Name DroppingYou know and have met any number of powerful people across the land—and some of them might even remember you. You might be able to wrangle minor assistance from a major figure in the campaign, at the DM's discretion.
