Please provide:
Your name (as you want it on the chronicle)
Your character's name

And go ahead and tell me a little bit about what your character does (this is a good place to point out any weirdness, if you're slow progression etc.)

Concordance

Obsidian is an Earth Kineticist. He can Stone Shape and Earth Glide at will. Also, he has DR/Adamantine equal to his level. He does this by accepting burn.

I do need to level him up

I will be using this alias as my pfs one seems to be having problems for some reason.

Also, to reiterate, I am using a replay on this. I have played and GMed it so I cannot progress the story. I will play Obsidian as he is but, if you'd like me to do anything in particular please let me know in this thread.

I'll give the other two sign ups through tomorrow to dot in, and then we'll get going!

Great! First post'll be up in a few hours :)

The Professor will have blood-boiling pill, dex mutagen, and heighten awareness up a lot. I will do my best to gives plenty of heads up. If HA is up he will always activate it before combat for simplicity sake.

He will always have a potion of reduce person in hand rolling it around as a nervous tick.

Also slow track for the Professor.

Sargon will typically have the Selective Spell rod out in a setting with restrictive space unless I say otherwise in game play.

Normally he will hold off using the initiative boost from HA and instead keep it for the skill rolls to make sure we know as much as we can about any foe we face or challenge we encounter. If we are making the knowledge checks easily, or if the group has a specific plan where he really needs to get a spell off first in a combat, then he will us the boost.

As a note, don't feel too bad if you include Obsidian in an AoE. With his decent enough Reflex save combined with his resistances and high HP, I don't think it is worth a use of your Selective rod.

Thanks! I will keep it in mind. My fireball DC is normally 23, but I often bump it to 25 to make sure it lands. I doubt it would even put a dent in you though so no worries.

Nice to know. Solstice does not do selective, and can do a 12d6 fireball, so is this a PC go-ahead to blast him with the baddies? Though normally her init is high enough or the battlefield set up so that she rarely has that dilemma.

The Professor will have a 20 ref for most the the game so should also be OK if he has to take a fireball.

He also auto sickens on a hit, and leaves enemies shaken on a crit (averages more than a crit a round hasted) if you want to wait for the debuff. Likely more relavent for non blasting spells.

Hey Solstice, why don't you carry my empower rod. It only works 3/day and on spells 3rd lvl or lower.

Good to know Prof. I will concentrate on summons, buffs or some other spells if I get before you on initiative.

This is an interesting mix of pcs I'm excited to see how it all plays out.

I can also whip up some fire resistance for myself if needed.

That is a go ahead.

Sadly, Obsidian cannot be enlarged as he is not a person. He also does not gain very much from haste, so if I'm not in range or something don't fret too much. This may seem odd, but please try to keep a metal item of any kind on your person. It will give me the ability to maneuver you should the need arise. I can stone shape at will (yeah, earth kineticists are silly) so if you want cover during a long fight just holler. Can't think of anything else.

This scenario is very cool but, because of things and I am replaying, during 'encounters' please give me direction as to what you want me to do. (i.e. protect us, deal damage, etc...) I apologize if this seems tedious, but I do not want to influence the outcome (decision-wise) to any major degree.

Sargon has a thick cloth cestus that is reinforced with metal plates over the fingers. Will that be enough metal for Ob to move him? I am getting a mental image of some cool magnetic effect yanking Sargon across a room by his hand right now, and I can't help but laugh.

I imagine that would be enough and, yes pretty much how it works (though the effect uses bull rush mechanics).

Hey Solstice, why don't you carry my empower rod. It only works 3/day and on spells 3rd lvl or lower.

That would be great. Will make for some short fights though.

I think I will make some changes to my spell layout for the day. Any preferences? I haven't got every spell of course, but I have a decent assortment.

Obsidian is pretty self sufficient.

I made the adjustments to Sargon's spell list. He will likely swap a spell or two out once we get inside and see what we are dealing with.

With alter summoned monster memorized, don't you want a long duration summoning spell? Or did they nerf the spell?

My special summons can be up to summon monster V and they last for 9 minutes. If it turns out I need to switch the creature type it can come in handy, but I also use it versus enemy spell casters that summon on occasion. I can always take a round and swap it out if we need it, but I think for now I will run with glitter dust instead.

Despite my tradgic Will save, I can be temporarily blinded if need be.

I've heard of it being mostely used to swap a phantom steed or some other long duration summoning for a combat monster with hours of duration.

Just a heads up.

Spells: the spells on pages 22-23 are legal for play except alter summon monster and summon laborers;

Well damn! Thanks for that Professor! I am glad we were talking about that. I guess I will pick up another spell of that level to replace it. I get why they did that though.

There were some broken uses I hadn't realized it had been band until very recently.

Prof and Solstice, should I assume you guys are popping Heightened Awareness every fight, or do you have a different triggering condition you'd prefer?

Yes, I intend to have Solstice renew the spell after every fight unless a long rest is coming up.

Professor will be. I will also Perry and repose at the first oppertunity if I have full panache. Unless I say other wise.

Hey guys, busy day at work, and riddley-rhymey talk takes longer to put together than I can squeeze into a coffee break. I'll push things forward tonight.

Sounds great. No worries here. :)

I think we are done with the rhyming conversation and we have what we need. Time to explore the rest of the facility.

Ah! So the sphinx is Saruna. She was described as a large creature in funereal garb with the body of a lion, the wings of a falcon, and the head and torso of a withered but once beautiful human woman. That did not shout sphinx to me but now I understand. I thought the sphinx was in the 'true library'.

Gotcha. Yeah her location had been supposed inaccurately. Also, as a heads up, I'll be out of town this weekend. I should still be able to hop on once a day, but if I miss a day that's why.

Badru will go ahead and begin his arcane onslaught tonight - so get those actions in! (People who don't will be "delayed" and have the opportunity to do a double turn)

Thanks for allowing me to get my condescending Sargon role play on. If it ever get to be too much, let me know. ;)

I find it quite delightful and intend to nudge her a bit.

It just occurred to me that these statues might not be usable every round. Does Solstice know whether she will be able to use the breath of life ability every round? I was going to have her sit there and heal folks up, but that may not be possible.

Could someone make a decent knowledge roll on this thing so we do not have to waste more attacks vs. immunities on it?

Yep, sorry,they're one use. Feel free to adjust actions as needed.

OK. I will adjust her previous movement to head north instead of south.

I'd like to see if one of the PCs can do a knowledge roll and find out its immunties. I want to cast a greater aggressive thundercloud but what would be the point if it is immune!

Okay guys, at this point you've gotten all the prestige and boons, so to make sure people can make it to any GameDay plans, I'll call it here, but I'll leave the thread open if you guys want to explore anything else :)

Chronicles'll be up later today.

Great! Thanks for an awesome game. I really like your going style. Your good at keep the story the focus.

To everyone else this was a really fun group you all have great character all this unique quirks that make them a joy to play with. This was a great table hope to play with you all soon.

Yes, thanks GM and gang! Very fun game. Hope to see you all around on other tables.
