DM Rah's "Before the Dawn, Part I: The Bloodcove Disguise" PFS (Inactive)

Game Master Kobash

This is an online PbP for Pathfinder Society Organized Play Scenario 2-01 "Before the Dawn, Part I: The Bloodcove Disguise"


151 to 196 of 196 << first < prev | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | next > last >>

I gave you back a couple charges on the cure light wand because there was a point you rolled a few, but no one took them.

I'll let you fill in the previous fame and prestige.. I always goof that up anyway.

I have been editing my wand charges since the beginning of the game so I have no idea where they actually started at this point. I have yet to edit the vanish one though due to my mobile device.


Peri, no problem. I'm only marking charges used on this chronicle, not total starting and ending charges.

Also, forgot to include the wand of armor. I think the charges spent on that were around 14.

DM I leveled Shel, so I'm ready when the group is.

I've decided I will keep Yanos and simply change Factions, so -9 PP for me, and I'm now a Shadow Lodge agent as well as follower of Ol' Dead Eye.

I should be currently (after this first scenario) at 16 Fame, 5 PP).


Probably won't be able to start until tonight.

If anyone is interested in treasure, the gold amount from this Scenario is 506.

More arrows for Laz, and a masterwork rapier if that's OK.


Any normal purchases we can assume come through loot from that last encounter. Anything unusual, or prestige point expenditure, might have to wait until you get to Azlant Ridge.

I have decided to Upgrade my Long Spear to +1 (2,000 gp), buy a Pearl of Power 1 (1,000 gp), and buy a Handy Haversack (2,000 gp), leaving me with a whole 82 GP at the start of this new scenario.


Yanos, curious about the gold you have. Appears you had over 5000gp. Did you have a couple upper tier Scenarios in in his Exp history?

Yes, Echoes of the Overwatched and The Cyphermage Delemma I had to play up in. That and I tend to not buy anything for a while and then get all shop-happy.

Peri will be 4th level after I GM tomorrow. I do not mind playing down a tier, but I don't want to ruin anyone's fun either. I'll let the group decide who they want to play with them. Level 1 Polearm Fighter, Level 2 Gunslinger (happens to know Shel), level 1 cleric, or Peri at lvl 4.


Tier levels for the next Scenario are 1-2, 3-4, or 6-7. With Peri and Yanos at levels 3 and 4, and Haris 1xp from 3rd, maybe I could run it in the 3-4 Tier?

If you don't think Laz will be a drag on the party. He's not well-equipped and he's first level.


Hmm. Thought this would get Laszlo to 2nd. Great risk for great reward?

I'm fine with whatever the group decides. If you want to go for the gusto and play up, fine with me. If you all decide to play at current tier, I'm good with that, too.

Liberty's Edge

HP: 59/59, +4 Init, +17 Perception, F: +8, R: +5, W: +10, AC: 21, T: 14, FF: 17, CMD: 22 , LG Human Cleric 8, 5274-20, Longspear +10/5, 1d8+5 (Large +10/+5, 2d6+6), P 20/x3

I'm good either way, honestly, and I'll let Laz decide, as I've been forced to play up or down a few times, and I honesty believe it should be up to the characters that are the lowest, as they really suffer the most risk, and I am honestly good either way.

If we do play up, I'll switch out my spells a bit to help. Shield Other, for example will double your HP and give you a long lasting buff.

Having felt the pressure to play up many times, and paying for a raise dead on occasion I do not ask players to play up. Though I often do it willingly in scenarios from seasons 0-2.


I don't want to pressure anyone, but with 6 players (plus the pig), in a scenario built for 4, I think you might be ok if you play careful.

Also, keep in mind you get a lot more treasure if you play up.

I'll go for it. But I think I'll buy a mw composite bow 12 str instead of the rapier. The further away I am from the bad guys the happier I'll be.

Shel will probably burn 2 PP and pick up a wand of CLW. And purchase a masterwork kukri when we hit a settlement.


The bow is a good idea for Laszlo. Shel might want to consider the same.

Finally got some internet.
I'll be level two, have a wand of CLW that I can loan out, and plenty of HP and AC. I think I could help us handle playing up.

I suddenly feel stronger, and more magical. Anybody else feel this way? Perhaps we recieved some of the dead witch ladies powers."

Yeah, I suddenly realized I can cast more spells!

I was wondering if I could do a Handle Animal check in place of a day job roll.
Also, is it totally outrageous to get some wooden armor for Ing right now?

Boar barding?

Bar boarding?

Ing isn't serving as a mount, nor is he medium or large, so he doesn't really fit on the barding table. However, I was going to give him Light Armor Proficiency for this feat, just using the "non-humanoid" column in the unusual armor table.


The rules don't allow me to let you replace day job with other skills. I can't remember, I think you already taught Ing something in this Scenario, right?

Also, about barding for Ing. I think it is unusual enough to warrent better resources, so you will have to reach the camp at Azlant Ridge for that. You might have to go an encounter without it.

Last note Barlor: according to the druid animal companion list Ing is considered a small creature.

Oh yes! I'd forgotten I already did that roll. I guess I was thinking that was for last week. Crazy weeks.
Alright, I'll just mark back down his AC for now.
I'm aware he's small. What's your point? I was saying small isn't on the barding table, so I was using the "small" and "non-humanoid" cell for the unusual armor table. Is that... incorrect?

According to PFS rules we should no longer have the scroll of sleep and the wand of witching at the beginning of this scenario. Are we going to roll with this DM Rah, or keep them for the sake of continuity?

"Where's the wand? And the scroll? I thought you took them off her body." "Well, I thought you were going to! I'm not going back for them now."


Barlor, I have no point I guess, except that even though they list barding under the "mounts and related gear" table, all barding still falls under the "armor for unusual creatures" table as well, with the same costs.

As far as the wand and scroll. Pretend it was gold instead. You'll still have access to them as treasure (though who knows why you'd buy them).

DM R, are you going to continue to use the same game thread?


I think I'll start a new one. It's easier for me to organize things and find posts relevant to the current active Scenario.

Yes, please. I'm ready, but no hurry.


Reporting this game and putting together chronicles to email out today. I'll try to get the new thread open in a couple hours.

Also, I forgot something important. You are currently traveling with a caravan of supplies, so buying things just got a little easier. In fact, Barlor, you can get barding for Ing (we'll assume something can be cobbled together).

Awesome. 19 HP, 20 AC, +4 to attack. Ing could take out László.


Not if you are using the paizo dice roller. Heh.


Scenario reported. Chronicles emailed.

The next Scenario is open HERE. Everyone head over there and jump right in.

"But Ing would not do that to his pastry-giving friend, I hope?" Note to self: stock up on piggy treats.
