A night before that a witch/summoner could love (not my work, but gleefully copied from somewhere on the internet):

'Twas the night before Christmas,
And all through the town,
Hell was breaking loose;
Things were falling down!

The weapons were hung
In the hallway with care;
In hopes that their wielders
Soon would be there.

The children lay trembling,
Entrapped in their beds;
While nightmarish visions
Raced through their heads.

And Mama with a ruckus,
And I with a rattle;
Had just donned our armor
For a long winter's battle.

When out in the street,
There arose such a clatter;
We sprang from our house
To see what was the matter.

Away to the fountain
We flew like the lightning;
Treading with caution;
For it was very frightening.

The splatter of blood on the fresh fallen snow
Gave a gory effect to the objects below;
When, what to our terrified eyes should appear;
But a towering devil, who filled us with fear!

His rod was so great, but his staff was still greater;
So we knew all at once that it must be Dispater.
More vicious than wolves his minions drew near,
And he smiled, and smirked, and snarled with a sneer:

"Now, Slasher! Now, Slicer! Now Smasher and Shaker!
On, Crasher! On, Crusher! On, Basher and Breaker!
Tear down the houses; break down the walls!
And smash away, crash away, 'til everything falls!"

As rabbits before the fierce predators scatter,
When they met with an obstacle, they'd cause it to shatter.
So back to our house, we decided to go,
With the army of devils and Dispater in tow.

And then with a shrieking,
We heard in the square;
The stamping of hooves
Of a fiendish nightmare.

As we drew forth our blades,
And were preparing to fight;
Suddenly Dispater
Emerged from the night.

He was dressed in all black,
From his head to his toe;
Which sharply contrasted
With the white of the snow.

A powerful mace
Was clenched in his fist;
And he stepped like a warrior
From out of the mist.

His eyes how they burned!
His countenance scary;
His skin was like iron;
He was no fairy.

His steellike jaw
was smooth and cleanshaven,
And his long flowing hair
was as black as a raven.

The shaft of a spear
he held tight in his grasp,
And his billowing cape
was clutched with a clasp.

He had a gaunt face,
And fists made of steel;
I wished this a dream;
But it was all too real.

He was fearsome and stern,
A formidable foe;
And we shook when we saw him,
For we had no place to go.

A glint in his eye,
Instilled us with dread;
And made it quite clear
That we soon would be dead.

He spoke not a word,
But went straight to his work;
And engaged us in combat,
With nary a quirk.

I and my wife,
We fought hard and long;
But it cost us our life,
For he was just too strong.

He stood over our corpses,
Proud of his win,
And he left us there dying,
Wearing a grin.

But I heard him proclaim,
Ere the light left my eye;
"Merry Christmas to all;
and now you shall die."

Merry Christmas, fellow players!

So even though I'm present to cut wood on Day 3 of my journey here I'm not allowed to know how it went? I suspect on day 4 Greenclaw will be cutting wood on his own then....

So are we on the same day?or a new day?

To setup a guild is there anything I need to do I particular?

In reply to Mysteria Poisonleaf (msg # 79):

Sorry I've not posted lately, I had a friend die, then my aunt die, and my cousin (who's mom died was missing) and now a good friends son died last night, he was only 5. I hope to get back to posting regularly soon (I had posted in the GM's other game I'm in but not this one about all this).

On the map is the water south? And what is the redline?

In reply to Mysteria Poisonleaf (msg # 86):

Eric and Alex you around still?

In reply to Alex (msg # 88):

Oh was waiting for a response from you in walkabout?

In reply to Mysteria Poisonleaf (msg # 93):

I have no idea, me and eric and alex were checking it out. I was waiting in the thread we had for them to reply. Next I know because of actions in another thread, we were set adrift we no way to pilot, and I'm not sure even a way to save our wagons supplies etc since they were with us.

Needless to say I will not be friendly if I survive this to those responsible in the future.....

In reply to Gimi Eyrirson (msg # 94):

Do you have anything that can work as a rudder ?

I would give those that did the work a bit of slack, they were told to do so by another PC. You were also given 3 in game days warning that it was going to happen.

Ok clue me in do we do a week of ingame now?

And is the portal still doing crazy s*%t?

Is the air still messed up?

no town map, zarzars shop is near the portal, i think the bunkhouse is next to zarzars shop
gexs farm is about 1 mile north of the portal.
grennclaw has a tent and personal property by gex but that is about it.
we have not had enough people to finish a "proper town"

What is Guild Rank One? is it a varient of something in a book D&D or pathfinder?

how many foundation blocks per hour/day did the brick machine produce ?

That all depends on the settings you had set it to.


The out put of the brick forge is
120 in x 1200 in x 4 in

need to know how many 6' x 6' x 20' "logs" can be cut in one day in barge mill

Hp / in as stated for what ever wood you are cutting
4d6/rd

Dc 5 check
Failure means you were reeding wood in to fast.
Must shut steam engine that is turning the blade.
A number of dc 20 strength checks equal to the amount you failed the dc 5 check

Rolling a 1 means that the blade is bound in place
Roll on malfunction chart for the engine.
The wood still on the blade is lost/destroyed (must be removed some how...fire...etc)

so much for the

total = 126,854.137185 gallons of water

immune to natural planar effects as though constantly under the Avoid Planar Effects spell from the Planar Handbook

Just to confirm that Ressic is seeing this?  Not that it will matter once Mathew unleashed his OP spell. :)

In reply to the Caretaker (msg # 212):

Once up and running, Talpac will be running the lumber Mill and helping create the town with his services as previously discussed including bath house.

With the arrival of a functioning town, the timeline progression will move to a quest based movment. And each player will choose a single character to be thier player character, leaving the others to manage (with out interaction) their properties and duties.

With the arrival will also bring the stocking of shops and stores allowing you all to head out on extended fores into the wilderness.

So much need for 20th century convenience in the 12th century setting

In reply to Talpac Fairfield (msg # 235):

I wish you happy memories.

my great grandmas birthday is just around the corner and I miss her and the sourdough pancakes she use to make me as a child.

I just wanted to bring something up...
Talpac and I were speaking to a merchant...to my knowledge no one else was there aside from Ressic, the merchant and Talpac.  Then we left and continued the conversation between us.  Suddenly there are several people engaged who are not there.

The reason I bring it up, is that clearly there are some plot based conflicts brewing, and I can see this situation becoming quite contentious.  I have no issue with conflict, it's part of what makes a good story, but I do take issue with everyone being immediately omniscient about everything, the moment it is posted, and being able to react to it.  That seems a bit like meta-gaming and will greatly diminish the fun, as it then becomes more of a twitch game, and who can post first, and if you do x then I do y to thwart you, when in fact they should not even know what was said.


Am I missing something?  Do I not have the super ESP power?

In reply to Creature (msg # 251):

you will be horrified to discover approx 600 rain cycles have passed and there are over 3,000,000 people around the portal(if i read things correctly)

Still in portal town

Concerning the population. There is over 30,000 in Ava's compound but the concentration of wealth and technology allows for availability a sum wealth of the city of 100,000 of any one shopping trip (not including Ava' personally)

While the population of second city is closer to 3,000,000 with a available marketable goods of around 15,000 gp.

Due to the rampant poverty many families have begun to source thier meat at mathhew's tavern. Many have asked how he provides all the meat but no one knows for certain, and starving people don't care much when it it cooked food.

Accompanying the poverty has been more then a few outbreaks of disease, causing the local spiritually minds to form a church/hospital that has un officially backed a currency of sorts. That currency being potions and scrolls of healing.

What is this "chain of command" feat? I cant find the prerequisites anywhere, not in any publication online, is it under a different name?

600 days of building, research and helping organise a city and a town. Any XP gained? Would help get these feats you mention. How many apprentices signed up? (shouldn't need leadership for this)

height of the south side of the city 76.5 ft above sea level raised 20 ft in the air on stilts

the north side of thew city is 51 ft higher then the raised south end of the city

the pumping of sewage was mentioned, but i never saw a list of raw materials used per pump and any craft checks. and since it did not happen in the month of jan it has not happened yet.i pump is needed per square mile for sewage
one pump is needed per water tower

the altitude goes up 60 ft between the stated north side of the city and the south side of amber's farm.
pumps for drinking water
pumps for sewage
once again no list of materials and where they were sourced
and no accompanying craft checks in the month of jan...so it has not happened yet.

altitude changes 333 ft from the south side of amber's farm to the north side of the farm

a gravity fed tank for sewage was stated would feed a leach field through out amber's farm and it was stated to be under the city so does that now mean that your city is
444 feet above previously stated level of the city

temples visible from the river.

In reply to the Caretaker (msg # 266):

The people who arrived before we left were 1% and we helped those, no one else would have known and if they did, word would have still been there that we were supplying food.

Not being city designers or architects in real life, the information you are requesting becomes superfluous to us and a sticking point that needn't be put in place.

Talpac could have made any number of plowshares for use on the farm and the megalipods would have been able to plow the fields with ease by attaching behind them, again, superfluous (and could have been asked early doors).

If I went to a scribe and asked them to write my words, that is hiring them to do the work but you are making this impossible. Why would they move? In your own words, poverty, disease, lets just say a better life so why wouldn't they want to move?

Too many obstacles that would not happen.

yes i recognize that you are not a city planner, in fact neither am i

but my computer has google, and if i can figure it out, I have faith in your ability to do the same.

if this is not something you the player is capable of doing then perhaps you the character is not equipped to do it either.
