Sorry but I have been a slacker.
I could make excuses but it boils down to not enough hours in the day.
That said, I am back and committed to running this game. Please try to post in a timely manner and I will do the same.
I have posted results and a new turn. This should be a fast and easy one. I need to know what you want to do next. Back to the crypt? Back to town? Something that I have not thought of?
I have posted the updated character summary on my web site (http://sites.google.com/site/zombiehomepage/Home/zombie-s-d-d-pathfinder-page/pathfinder-play-by-blog) representing the converted and leveled characters

Thurstan cast a Cure Light Wounds on Blunderbuss while he recovered the effects of his rage. Torval also used a Lay on Hands to heal the barbarian to full.
Banjo Cast a Detect Magic and scanned the area. No magic was detected. Jean and Clint searched the area looking for clues.
The remains of the campsite included a fire pit, a cracked chest, a pile of meat and an open barrel. The chest contained a suit of medium masterwork full plate armor. Rainwater filled the barrel.
The statue is very large, impressive and made of stone. There are no identifying marks or symbols to identify the subject.
The earth pile is fresh and appears to be the result of the recent digging of the shaft with the ladder leading down into the crypt.

Current business
I have received updated characters from Dave (Banjo and Blunderbuss) and Paul (Jean). I still need characters from Bruce, Matt and Randy. Bruce and I have spoken so I know that he is working on his.
I have turn posts for Turn 40 from Dave (Banjo and Blunderbuss) and Bruce (Thurstan).
Steve has expressed an interest in playing to fill Corey's spot. He may want to play Blunderbuss or he has the option of making his own character. I need him to chime in with what he wants to do. He also metioned something about a gmail address rather than the one that I have been using as it can be accessed from his phone.
Randy, are you going to be posting your turns or do we need to give your spot away too? You are still welcome to play but I need you to play and not have to chase after you. It does not matter to me either way but I would like to get it settled.
I still plan to post every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. There will always be exceptions but that is the planned schedule.

Barrow of the Forgotten King - GM Turn Post 38
You emerge from a hole that is surrounded by earth and rock. The ladder you’re climbing is fastened to a post just a few feet beyond the opening, near an immense plinth of stone. Above you looms a weathered statue. Overgrown with creeper vines, it depicts a crowned and bearded man who is regally dressed and points his drawn sword to the east. Some trees nearby are taller than the statue, which has no inscription that you can see.
The remains of a campsite are visible to the north. As the group moves to examine the area, a hairless, hound like creature races from the undergrowth to the north, its pale skin covered in runic patterns glistening. Sprouting from the center of the creature’s back is a serpentine neck supporting an eyeless head that is mostly a toothy maw too big for the creature’s body. Its squealing turns to a gurgle as it begins to fill its maw with green bile.
Roll initiative.
See Combat Map for current positions.

More input please ...
I will post the next turn tomorrow. (I potentially need to create a new map and with gaming tonight, I do not believe that I will have time before then.)
I would like to speed things up a bit. Can you please provide more information?
Is anyone but Clint climbing the ladder? If more are climbing, please post a single-file climbing order.
What will Clint plan to do? He got over 60 feet up before anything happened last time. Will he climb so far, scout and climb back down to report? Climb to the top of the ladder? Drop something as a signal rather than climbing back down?
What does the rest of the group do while Clint is climbing? Wait for him to return? Wait so long and then start climbing after? Make tea?
