__________________________________________________________________
Hey all welcome to my CORE A Case of Missing Persons table.
Following the great HMM our newly appointed VC for Online PbP I want to get to know you and your character while also letting you know some of my expectations as well.
Tell me about your characters
So who are you, and what are you bringing to my table? Got any quirks? Fun things that I should know?
__________________________________________________________________
About me
Some things to know about me. I prefer games to flow at about 1 to 2 posts a day. I understand work, life, school and Venture Officer duties come up from time to time and like me posting while at work is a no-no. If that is the case for you if you could try and check in before and after work if possible that would be great. We will find the right pacing as we go along.
I’m the Venture Agent for my local area. Covering two stores and a contact for other home games in my area. Which as you can guess means that I have to handle VA things as they arise. If I’m stuck in something I will let you know. :)
I am an avid gamer, father and love to “learn it all”. I am still relatively new to the PbP GM as this is my 3rd or 4th game but I feel my GM style is growing exponentially.
__________________________________________________________________
Some Expectations
Please let me know about any absences or crazy work days expected. If you're headed to a Con for a few days, that's okay, just let me know. I'll tell you about my crazy days too, for example Tuesdays are very busy between work and Society night so I may not post until way way late or possible the next morning.
I'm hoping that botting won't be needed, but I ask that everyone try to have a 'bot me' spoiler in their profile with key strategies and pre-formatted dice rolls. Happy GMs are safe GMs :p
I'm hopeful we will all have fun. I want enthusiasm, silliness, sound effects, team chemistry... If you want that too, I think we'll have a great game together that you can laugh about later in the future.
Do think it’s crazy to have someone throw the halfling at the enemy hovering 20 feet in the air.
__________________________________________________________________
If that all sounds good to you please head on over to Slide2 and fill in your character info for me, Perception and Initiative Mods. Roll your Day jobs now and put in the result, if you think you may want to forgo your Day job roll for alternate down time activities later but you're not sure yet that's ok just roll your Day Job roll now and drop it later.

I have 2 options in range.
Rogar Cordan
Dwarven Monk 6
He is strong, tough, and equipped with both an adamantium weapon and a Ghost Touch aomf.
Feats of note are improved grapple and improved trip.
Rogar is is incredibly dumb and un-charismatic but handy to have in a fight.
Liminy Spickett
Human Wizard 6 (After this weekend)
Schooled in evocation his real passion is summoning. He has Augment Summons and uses a lot of offensive conjuration spells.
He just learned everyone's favorite spell Haste.
Ryan' |
"First of all, let me warn you from the get go that I'm not happy being here, nor having to take part in this mission. Name's Ryan, and I'm a Private, in the Pathfinder's Guard at the Absalom Grand Lodge. A nice and cozy job, leaning on the polearm all day, dozing away waiting for the evening chow. Barely an Aspis attack now and then to relieve from the boredom... but now they've got me acting as a Pathfinder. Mandatory advancement they call it!".
Ryan's a grunt, your basic soldier who avoids taking any decision.
The only thing that he's become interested in: creating a Pathfinder's Union.
"Hey! When we die we have to pay for our own Raise Deads, while on Grand Lodge missions! How crazy is that? Let's strike until we get Medical coverage!"
Hello all!
GM Poblano Pepper |
Sounds good Big.
We have a Druid (3), Fighter (3), Cleric (6), Ranger (4), Either of yours and Ilmakis' Unknown.
I believe the Wizard may be more in line with party dynamic depending on what Ilmakis is going to play as.
GM Poblano Pepper |
"Move along private prep your gear and prepare to get movin' soon and put that damned soap box away. I don' wanna be hear'n it right now." The dwarf orders.
Eric... I can tell this is going to be so much fun already
Loni~ |
(GM Andrew)
I'll stick with this druid due to how the party is shaping up.
Loni is a total hippy. Loves nature, animals, and how the natural world works. He talks like "No way, dude. That's far out" and such. He comes with a boar companion, and often converts his spells to Summon Nature's Ally, so I'm totally going for the "spam the battlefield with stuff" build. He is totally not a front-line type of druid. He has the normal skills you'd expect from a druid.
Work is insanely busy for me right now but I should be able to check at least once/day. Will in reality probably be much more. I'll work on a botting plan when I update this guy to get ready for the game.
(And yes, since he is a gnome druid I named him Loni instead of Lini, the gnome druid pregen; and his boar is Drootina instead of Droogami)
(I have not played or GMed this scenario, so I know nothing! A rarity for me!)
(And yes I have to update him to level 3)
Ryan' |
Ilmakis and I were to play this tabletop in 2 weeks, but had to bow out due to playing a different game, so it's cool to actually be playing it together... and in CORE too, even better!
Ryan salutes the Dwarf, and obediently goes to get his gear, dragging his feet just enough to make his point, but not enough to get called on it.
The night before leaving on the mission, he goes to oil up, and dance in a local night spot, the patrons see that he is getting better: though not good, he at least is no longer appalling!
No more negative on my DayJob roll since I got +1 to my Dex' at level 4
Perception: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (4) + 0 = 4
Well, no one claps, but no one boos either!
And Ryan proudly collects... a gold coin.
My 2 ranks as Go-Go Dancer, seein' as he's goin' for ShadowDancer

So you rolled your wisdom based perception skill for your charisma based dance skill that recently got better due to your dex increase? :)
Lasaraleen |
GM Aarvid here. Lasaraleen is level 6 and my only core.

Hi! I'm hips Capt'ain Galan hips 't the Gray hips nice meeting y'all!

Sailor: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
GM Poblano Pepper |
Fyi I'm not a new player. I'll give my seat to a newbie :) if needed. I'm a VC and 5 star GM.
Oh I see. Now this where I see a little conundrum. This is a level 3-7 low tier scenario and a newbie normally will not have a level appropriate character.
Hmm quite the predicament I have here.
With the above thought I believe it best to follow through with the current table if you do not mind. I feel that it could create more issue to pull in a newbie to just play a pregen.
Qstor feel free to continue at the table and if you would not mind please go to slide two of the maps and handouts and fill in your character info. Please dot in with Grog as well.
Thank you.
So that makes four 5 Star GMs, a 2 Star GM, 3 VCs and a VL at the table being lead by a VA. This is going to be quite the adventure :)
GM Poblano Pepper |
Great Liminy!
So questions to all players.
Is everyone using a Core campaign character?
Also has anyone played/received a chronicle from the below with this character?
#8–06: Reaping What We Sow,
#5–99: The Paths We Choose
#5–03: The Hellknight’s Feast
#5–04: The Stolen Heir
Loni~ |

I am.

Have not.
Lasaraleen |
Yes to core.
No to any of the listed scenarios.
Liminy Spickett |
Yes to Core though I have transcribed some non core spells into my book from another core wizard. No to having played any of those with Liminy.
Ryan' |
Yes to CORE - "The Society was too cheap to allow me to be Standard!"
No the scenarios - "Nobody ever sends me out on the interesting adventures!"

Hey everyone just checking in and make sure we are ready to start tomorrow.
Is everyone good with their characters? anyone still finishing up play in another game and need a few days? Are you psyched for some mystery and intrigue?
If I get the AOk from everyone I will start tomorrow morning.
Lasaraleen |
Lasaraleen is finishing the special for GD 6
I think we are very close...could be done tomorrow
GM Poblano Pepper |
Alright Lasaraleen. Keep us updated of you don't mind.
Loni~ |
It sounded like the special is going to conclude on November 20th, but it might conclude a little earlier.
I am not playing this character in the special (I am playing with Lasaraleen with a different character), but it could affect our cleric friend.
Lasaraleen |
I thought it ran until the 18th. So I may be off on a couple days. I do not want to engage here until I am sure we are wrapped there.
GM Poblano Pepper |
I have nothing else lined up for games at the moment. Also, I have done some GM spying and see that they probably will be done in the next few days depending on the groups posting speed.
I'm thinking we can start on Tuesday probably.
GM Poblano Pepper |
Have a good holiday weekend everyone. No worries on the starting posts we will get this game underway when everyone is ready.
Lasaraleen |
Happy Thanksgiving all. It looks like the special just wrapped up and tables are being reported for GD6. So Lasaraleen should be available.
GM Poblano Pepper |

Yay! Great starting post will be later today. I understand the Holiday weekend is happening, so no worries about making sure to post this week. Have fun and enjoy your families and if you want to post feel free too.
GM Poblano Pepper |
Will post later this afternoon. It has been a long holiday weekend and I will have access to my computer tomorrow.
Loni~ |
FYI, will be super busy this week at work so posts may be less frequent and more brief (and if it is initiative I will definitely take my turn). Will still definitely check each morning, but this week is going to be very rough for me. Deadlines and such.
GM Poblano Pepper |
No worries Loni. I am back to work which means my normal posting times will be on a schedule.
So everyone knows I'm intending to post around 8am PST/PDT and again around noon PST/PDT.
Can you tell when my lunch break is haha
GM Poblano Pepper |

Bon appette!
Liminy Spickett |
By the way, Liminy has Continual Flame and the Heighten Spell metamagic feat so if anyone wants to pay the 50gp for the material component Liminy can cast the spell on an item of your choice.
It would be heightened to a 3rd level spell at caster level 6.
Ryan' |
Oh? Very nice (at lvl 3 that counters Deeper Darkness!).
Ryan will pay the 50 gp for the components and have it cast on the blade of his Cold Iron Dagger, thank you very much Liminy.
GM Poblano Pepper |
Hey folks. I have a sick child. Sorry I have not posted yet but i intend to make a post later this afternoon.
GM Poblano Pepper |
Sorry for the late post. Has been a crazy day to say the least.
