EM - [PFS] Feeling Hot Hot Hot (Inactive)

Game Master Evil Minion

If they had hot weather cleric's vestments, Tad would have them.

I don't know why you couldn't skin the hot weather outfit as cleric vestments. The descriptions of both use the word "typically include" or "typically consists of" which gives you leeway as to what your specific item looks like.

As long as you've paid the in-game price for hot-weather to gain the mechanical +2 bonus, I don't see anything in the rules that would prevent them from looking like a lighter version of Sarenrae's robes.

Ya I had thought about the outfit for Dale but knew it wasn't needed, but I had thought of it to blend in better.. not Dale's strong suit as we already know from prior experience.

I'd have argued some for checks to help boost those fort saves from Survival and my kit but they were so horrid I think Dale was purposely experimenting on himself with the local diseases...

Faliana bought a hot-weather outfit back in the second scenario.

Though I do remember that, you did not include it in your listed equipment... =)

Shoot! I'll update that sometime soon then.

Hoping I ain't crossing a line here...

But it seemed to be such a good line, and it sounds totally natural in Dru's mouth.

I nearly died laughing I gotta admit. My female roommate has made similar commentary, so i don't think it's to crass, least not among friends.

I appreciated the comment. In high school, my group of friends was mostly male, and some had potty mouths. I did not like that kind of language. I kept a small store of comments along those lines, which they knew if they got too out of hand with their language I would reciprocate with. The groans and ewwwwws told me it always worked...

I was fine with it!
Sadly, the mist only speaks Aklo, so did not appreciate her fine sense of humor =)

Not too much bothers me, but it is a topic that will make most men cringe. If your character is crass then they need to sound crass!

Strategy question:
Tad does not yet have selective channel. Should he heal Dru, even if it means healing the enemy the same amount?

In terms of Dru's humor, there is only one thing I know of that makes men react more strongly, and that's discussing certain very personal injuries. At least for the very few men I ever talk about such things with...

you can easily position yourself so that you only hit Dru, as the mist is on the far side of her.

ie: back up 10 feet =)

Oops, hard to believe I've already had my coffee, if I'm making silly mistakes like not seeing that.

Forgot to include this in my reply to Monty's post from so long ago, but I love the relationship the two of them have too!

Also Dru, I have no problems with your humor, but as someone of the male persuasion I don't really know if I have to right to judge it as offensive or not, but no one else seems to have a problem!

But.. but.. I am of the male persuasion too, at least my player is!

I know, but I was more saying I, the player, am not really qualified to judge whether it's offensive or not.

I wasn't saying we should stop for the day, just for a rest. Considering many of us are fatigued I'm sure we stop and take a rest here and there. I think many of us are not in great shape, but Dru is now high on that list with Dale. Hopefully my fort saves help me out in the coming days.

I must admit... I didn't expect to see a GM post so early in the morning! I hope you're drinking your coffee/tea!

Hey... my never-ending quest to try to hasten things along. =)

With Dru in France (8 hours ahead) and Faliana in Japan (8 hours behind), it gets a little tricky sometimes.

But Dru usually pops in at around midnight my time (morning for them) ... and is then around til I get up at about 8... I can occasionally catch him if I get something early enough!

It was hit and miss today... she posted the second time (Hit!) ... but didn't actually post an action (Miss!).

C'est la guerre!

Been non stop power outages for me the past day and a bit from a severe windstorm that came through, so had to update when I could. All seems good now though.

Yup we are quite spread out on the time zone scale in here, and I am not a late night person so don't expect to see much from Dale past 9pm EST.

He kicks out with one leg, trying to bring his opponent down, knowing he can't risk trying to stand up, so just kicks with all his might!

You should really consider Monkey Style... It's sooooooo appropriate!

So is this technically a gameday game? Today is the reporting deadline if so, even if we haven't finished.

No, it was not intended to be. Lots of stuff to go.

FYI Monty: Fatigued gives you -2 str and -2 dex, so it should only be dropping your to hit by 1 and your damage by 1. It looked like in your calculations you had it at -2 to hit.

Huh, I thought it was a flat -2. Go figure.

Its alright, I accounted for it all correctly. =)
You still kicked his ass from the ground!

Are we likely to finish this string of scenarios by the new year?

possible...

But with the holidays in there, its more likely to be in January sometime.
Hard to say, these next two have stuff happening =)

Where has everyone gone? Things are grinding to a halt lately it seems.

? we've been going along fine(ish)

Or is your browser just not showing updates?

yup very strange.. didn't show updates... Guess I have some reading to do!

eeep, I didn't see your edit, or I would have healed Dru instead...

heh, situational awareness! =)

It's even possible I posted before your edit; my post was only 4 minutes after yours. Luckily Dale got in there.

I was asking about the length for the sequence because I've signed up to GM my first special in January, and I'm hoping to have significantly fewer games then.

So its Thanksgiving, for those folks State-side.

Will only be unavailable Saturday, and part of Sunday.

Other then that, should still be lurking, as always.

Hi! Thanksgiving and its weekend have me busier than I expected. I will return to all of my games Sunday PM or Monday. Please bot me if needed!

Enjoy your Thanksgiving!

You know, I was sitting there thinking, too bad Monty didn't Stunning Fist the guy..

But then I noticed he didn't have it...

Then I thought, oh, maybe his archetype removes stunning fist...

But it does not...

So why doesn't Monty have Stunning Fist?

....

That is a darn good question. (Goes and looks at sheet and scratches head. Checks archetype.)

Huh. Ya know what? Looks like I'm just an ijit who didn't write that down or something.

Welp. I'm gonna add that on my sheet now.

GM, did the healing seems to help the attitude of the elves at all? And I need to know how many wand charges to mark off for healing them.

Treating disease only takes 10mins. Long term care takes lots of time to double up on regaining lost ability scores. Both quite helpful, certainly for some with lots of lost con.

So....

One of my favorite things about Pathfinder--more specifically, about Golarion and world-building--is making elves (and dwarves) rare and unique again. Obviously, we see plenty of them adventuring in PFS, but when you actually make it to one of their homelands, you begin to realize how every other nation is a human nation.

They've made elves special again, and bless them for it.

Kudos to EM±GM as well for presentation, of course--an excellent job as ever!

I agree Brady. The games have all centered around human settlements, this one and the last with the Elves and Grippli are a welcome change. Next up I'll need to find a game that brings in a Dwarven Citadel or something. A nice change of mental scenery.

PS, Dale is certainly willing to shell out some gold to not die of the plague! I should check to see what he has available...

And as a reply to a question Monty had about the weapons...

There is some limited access to yellowheart weapons on the chronicle... though should be enough to cover what Monty was looking for.

Cool! I love the chance to get flavorful stuff on chronicles.

Just to clarify something...

The special insect repellent that is offered here (and in Nantambu) for 10gp, is not an actual item you will find in the various Paizo source materials beyond this scenario. It is also not something on the chronicle, as an item you can purchase going forward.

I think they added it as a way to avoid having to go through 50 or so of the more expensive and effective vermin repellent on the trip =)

Basically, you can buy it in this scenario only, and one tub of it (for the 10 gp) lasts the entire scenario... but is all gone once we reach the end, and you can't carry it forward to future scenarios.

Call it a limited shelf life =)

Dang I was getting excited to learn how to make it. Is there a machete listed in there similarly? I've never found one in game materials which is why I've never tried to buy one. I've also never found insect netting, for say sleeping under. Another must for outdoor living. Its surprising considering the considerable equipment they list, and many things you wonder if anyone has EVER bought/used them.

There's camouflage netting, but it doesn't offer any specific in-game benefit vs. insects (though, logically, it should do something).

Ya I've used that on Luurg my alchemist (ranger wanna-be). No one likes being bitten by skeeters all day and night.

Machetes are in the Melee Tactics Toolbox players companion book.

Has the same basic stats as a short sword, plus a bonus on survival checks in the wilderness.

And Tents cover a lot of the 'keeping the outside out' scenarios while sleeping.

Oh, and mentioned the insect repellent when I noticed Faliana wanting to buy two of them!
