Topic: What Evil Hides in the Hearts of Men - Q&A
Subject: no worries
I want to give all active players a full chance to post. Again, I'm in no position to throw stones, and this is an unexpected restart (I'm sure).
I'd love to post again on Friday/over the weekend - and make that my typical posting timeframe - but we're still playing it a bit by ear right now.
Also...
Note to self: two clerics in party makes it significantly tougher for lesser undead to be a viable way to attack the party.
Note to self, part two: drastically increase amount of undead to account for #1.

That is correct. The two gigglers are dead. You have dispatched several shamblers, and the remaining have fled the combined divine might you have channeled. Note that they are not destroyed, merely turned - the party is shielded from them, but they do continue to exist.

Okay, here you go:
After a few minutes, the paralysis wears off, enabling Ta'Arms to move again.
En'Aranthea: lightly wounded
Rae: lightly wounded
Galardil: lightly wounded
Ta'Arms: moderately wounded
Jarenion: unscathed
Blair: lightly wounded
Danon: unscathed
Sorry that took so long. I had to recreate some of my reference stuff, which took longer than I had expected. Hopefully, I'll be able to get back into a nice groove for posting.

Topic: What Evil Hides in the Hearts of Men...
Subject: round next
The companions take up a defensive ring around Ta'Arms, as the big warrior can do naught but watch. For the briefest of moments, it seems that the threat may have passed, but then, the brush fairly explodes with atrocities that insult the very order of life by their existence.
A giggling monstrosity lauches itself from cover, but En'Arenthea is there to intercept. With a graceful slash, she cleaves a huge gash in its abdomen, but rather than flee, the thing focuses its hateful visage onto the bladesinger.
On the other side of the road, several of the shuffling, corpse-like figures emerge. Rae is likewise prepared, and she drives her blade completely through the chest of one of the rotting attackers... which continues to press on in mindless determination!
Galardil tries to assist the shield maiden, but the twilight itself proves treacherous, concealing a root that entangles the priest's foot. Kith-jora's servant stumbles badly, barely managing to retain the hold on his war club - certainly doing no harm to his unliving foes.
Meanwhile, the giggling monstrosity that bore the brunt of En'Aranthea's blade gathers itself and redirects its attacks at the comely sylvari maid. It rends the air with claws, though the bladesinger is too swift to be thus struck, but it does manage to land a vicious bite with enfouled fangs to her forearm. The wound itself is not serious, though for the briefest of moments, the sylvari feels the chill of the grave try to force its grip around her very life essence. Fortunately, she is able to shake both the creature and the chill.
Meanwhile, Jarenion completes a chant, and a hand suddenly reaches from beneath the ground and grabs the giggling creature firmly around one leg. It squeals in alarm and attempts to pull free, but appears to be powerless to do so.
Danon draws his own holy symbol from beneath his tunic, and channels the power of Merca. "Begone, foul creates of the grave!" he commands, his voice seemingly larger than should be possible from his body. "Begone!" At his command, roughly half of the shuffling attackers freeze in place, then turn and retreat.
Blair moves to assist En'Aranthea, and while the restricted creature manages to twist away from his thrusting sword, the rogue does score a stab with his dagger. It glares balefully at him, however, and does not fall.
And then, the crush of bodies are upon you. The cold flesh of the grave bludgeons and grasps at the party, and while none of the wounds are severe, the sheer numbers are troubling. Fortunately, however, the giggling creature is held firm in Jarenion's magical hand, which enables En'Aranthea to end its horrible existence.
The rest of the party accounts itself well; Rae and Galardil each drop foes, and Blair and Danon combine to fell another. These creatures continue to press on mindlessly, seemingly uncaring of any harm done to them, but eventually, the companions prevail, and the twilight once more falls silent.

Not sure that will help much. This whole place likely radiates evil.

I expect that "proceed cautiously" is the best we can do. Hope to not trip some instakill trap, be prepared to deal with whatever monstrosity awaits.

Six on today. I've seen this a couple times of late - which is way more than it has been.

Subject: absolutely
I have no issue NPCing him for the time being. Seeing as how the game has been on hold for a year, I can hardly rush the player. 
If I get a "no", I'll write him out (or consider a casting call for a new player to take the role). Otherwise, I'll NP him for a while before making a decision on what to do.

Hoody-hoo, guys! I just got an email from Vanadia... SHE'S IN!
6 out of 7, whoa! If we can get Kyle, that will be 100% participation... which is about twice what I was hoping for.

5 of 7 have now responded with a "yes". As Hammer pointed out to me, Duncan was an authorized player on the thread, but did not have an actual character. 
In other words, at the worst, the adventure is on. It shold not be insurmountable to find another warrior or two if we absolutely must.
Kyle was active here on the Inn in December. I tried emailing him, but his email is bouncing. If anybody knows another way to contact him, I'd appreciate you hooking us up.
Vanadia is probably the longest of long shots, as she's likely too busy with real life for the likes of us. But man, I would love to have the mistress of Bladesingers return...

This screams basilisk or worse (aka we're all gonna die). Arien is smart enough to know this, but he may be distracted by family crests or whatnot (poor wisdom and all of that).
Oh DM, live forever... what would be metagaming here, and what would Arien reasonably deduce?
