If we end up having a pre-gen, I think an arcane caster of some sort could be helpful. Or possibly just another melee character to help dish out some damage.
Thorur, I'm not sure what's up with Alya, but she hasn't posted in about a month now. Kinda seems like she bailed.

@Nowruz, that's fine. Go ahead and bring your PC in and fill out the slide! In that case, no pregen will be necessary.

Thanks, this is my 2nd level character. A female Wayang Witch. I have never played her before as the 3 xp are purely credit.

Also thank you very much GM for taking up this game!!
You are jumping into this selflessly and we very much appreciate that!!
Thanks a lot!! ;-)

Agreed. Many thanks for taking over. Could we get a summation of what characters we have now and what spells/abilities are being reset(if any).
2L Dwarven Warpriest of Trudd here. My Weapon Focus is the Dwarven Waraxe. Feel free to look over my sheet everyone.
If I remember correctly, I have both of my Blessings in play shortly after we got to this gate.

Feel free to check out my sheet as well!
Noke is a 2nd level female Wayang witch that is usually riding on her dog Happu together with her familiar Divune.
She is a follower of Chaldira and although she looks grumpy sometimes she actually is ready for a lot of mischief.

No problem at all guys, I'm glad to help out!
So I think what I'm going to do is resolve this particular combat encounter and continue with the next wave. I will also allow that all of your spells and abilities are reset and your HP is back to full. It just doesn't seem fair otherwise, since I think the fight would have gone very differently if you took advantage of some of your terrain options (see Slide #3).
The link is in my header to our slides under 'GS: Bloodmarch Hill'. I usually post once or twice daily in the evenings and more frequently on weekends. Should have a post up tonight!

That is great! Thank you very much!! ;-)

GM, thanks again for the great map!
The boulder and the rolling logs are to be used against the orcs, correct? Noke is no military expert so I hope it was not too much metagaming to assume we have to aim them at the orcs.

![]() |

That's right Noke, all of the terrain elements can be used against the orcs and I don't consider it meta to know this. It's difficult to look at a map in PbP and what you can/can't do without someone pointing it out!
Updating shortly...

Guys, we should use the barricades for the next charge!!
The barricade on the right is equipped with sharpened and splintered wooden fences. You can ready an action to impale an incoming attacker on the fence post as though readying a brace weapon. If an orc ends its square in a barricade threatened by you, they take 2d8 damage!
@GM: How do we announce this action?

![]() |

You'd just need to move into position and tell me that that's what you're doing. You made pretty quick work of this wave though!

GM Red!
Thanks again for taking over this game! Great fight and thanks for the tactical tips.
Just one question on timeline. Do you expect this game to end before Sep 30? I would sign up for a Gameday Oct 1 game with Noke if that would work. ;-)

![]() |

Hmm, I'm going to say yes, and if I find time is running out, I'll start moving us a little more swiftly. Should be fine though!

![]() |

Part 3 is still part of this book and is needed to get a chronicle with full rewards. It actually seems a lot shorter than Part 2 (the raid), so Noke, you should definitely still be good for your Oct 1 game!

![]() |

Thanks a lot!!

![]() |

Noke has 5 acid. If you want she can just unload those for anybody interested to take.

![]() |

We're back! Hi guys. Thanks for your patience during the outage. Let's see if we can keep on rolling through these caves.

![]() |

;-) GM Red, I just wanted to say that I really enjoy these battles with you! Thanks again for taking over!!!

![]() |

My pleasure and thanks for the praise!
Still trying to get us through this and free Noke up before October. I believe we should be able to do it, just glancing over the rest of the material. There's only one floor to this cave, and it's mostly combat based.

![]() |

Thanks GM!! ;-)

Now it is getting dangerous!!
GM, this is the last battle,correct?

![]() |

Yes it is!
Haven't had a lot of time for posting today, I'll be updating more tomorrow.

![]() |

Okay thanks. Spamming Slumber is not my style usually with end fights but I am afraid of the big guy with the hammer. He is not involved, yet, right?

![]() |

That's right. Keep in mind the room description noted that the centuries-old skeleton is encased in a spire. Not an active combatant... and probably won't be, but I guess IC you wouldn't know that ;)

![]() |

Noke, we should be done here very soon given the way the rolls have been going. Once this fight is over, we can quickly wrap up and you can switch to your new game right away.

![]() |

Thanks a lot GM! For everything!! You really saved us! ;-)

My pleasure. I had fun, and for me personally, it was a good preview of this AP so I know parts of the story and can use that to decide if I'd like to run more books of it in the future.
I started working on chronicles but need Tinker's PFS details. I found everyone else's a few pages back.

Team,
Find your chronicles here. Each of you gets two, one of them is a handy bonus chronicle that's a little more meaningful if you play the whole AP, but still has a sweet boon on it that can be used immediately nonetheless.

Thanks a lot!!!

I would sit at your game anytime!! :-)
Chronicle looks good!

![]() |

Question: do we only start with the Hill Giant option, then gain more as we continue on the series?

![]() |

Reading over the rest of the chronicles, it looks like you only get the boon at the very top of that sheet to start with:
Once per day, you can cast enlarge person (self only) as a spell-like ability. The caster level for this effect equals the number of Power of the Giants boons that you possess
So it'd be CL 1. The Hill Giant boon would come in the next book, and so on.

![]() |

Understood. I just wanted to make sure.
Are there other Paths in this series, and if so, would you be interested in running them as well?

![]() |

Yeah, definitely, though we aren't yet in the right level range. The next book Part 3 to its conclusion is sanctioned, but only for levels 5-7.

![]() |

Thanks as always for an awesome game, Red! And thanks in particular for stepping up to take over this one after we had a somewhat rocky start.
Thanks also to all my fellow players! I look forward to playing with all of you again another time.
