Bah! Maldoc is Grand Lodge but I want to play Bizzle since he's 10th now. How much of a big deal is the faction stuff in this?

Tonight I need to update the PC a little bit, selling back the items that were updated from Ultimate Equipment and then making a few purchases.

@Bizzle: I actually haven't read through it yet but the scenario page says Content in “Abducted in Aether” also contributes directly to the ongoing storyline of the Grand Lodge faction. That's about all I know. Usually that just means that your faction head is going to give you a little side-mission or something to look out for.

Hmm, well I guess I'll stick with Bizzle then as Maldoc could still play a 5-9 if I wanted to.

I've been playing for a while, but i'm still getting used to the system , so do feel free to correct me if I make any mistakes. Also probably not the right place but can I get some advice about what gear I should buy for my summoner?

Since we are traveling to the Ethereal Plane, we need to make sure that we have enough gear to efficiently handle combat there presuming it comes to that.

The only things I can think of are:

magic missile scrolls/wands
other force effects
spiritual weapon scroll/prepared spells

ghost touch weapons?

ghost touch weapon blanche - 200 g - cover 10 ammo or a single weapon

Sorry for the wall of dice. (Well, not really sorry, it's what this character does.)

Surprise action was a trip attempt, plus an AoO from Vicious Stomp if successful.

Full Round was a flurry of blows with haste + Ki + Medusa's Wrath (since they were flat-footed).

Normally with a flurry I get 2 primary attacks and 1 secondary. With the buff, ki, and feat, that was 6 primary and 1 secondary instead.

First primary used the leg sweep style strike which allows a free trip attempt if the attack hits. Which then gets followed up by a Vicious Stomp AoO if the trip succeeds.

I did roll to confirm the crit, it's near the bottom of the post.

Also, it says "played at the 7-8 subtier near the top." Shouldn't we be playing 10-11 with our party of four level 10s and one level 7?

There are only three level 10s. Bash is not in the game.

10 + 10 + 10 + 7 = 37 / 4 = 9.25

Quote:
Starting with Season 4, scenarios are designed for six characters and contain instructions on how to adjust the scenario for four-character parties. When the APL of a table is between two subtiers (like APL 3 for a Tier 1–5 scenario), a party of four characters must play the lower tier without any adjustments for party size.

Sorry for those who really wanted to play high tier but I expect interaction and participation in my games beyond rolling attacks and I stated those assumptions pretty clearly when I recruited for the game.

Oh, no worries. Life got crazy for me, and I go no hard feeling EF :)

Since I have been removed, can you please remove me from the game so my campaign tab is more tidy, thanx :)

No problem. I think you GM'd a pbp for me before and know you run a "tight" ship.

Forgot to mention the DC for stunning fist if the attack his is 19.

I try not to be too tough but I do expect interaction and engagement in my games. I didn't mean to be too hard on Bash as he's not the first or only player to do it, but I have always said that a player who only posts during combats is the PbP equivalent to the guy at a convention who sits at the table playing on his phone during the role-playing parts. Not only are they missing a significant (perhaps the most important?) part of the game, but it's also pretty rude to the GM and the other players.

I just got out of the field for the day but have to run to the lab for a while this afternoon. I'll get the game updated tonight. Thanks!

No problem! Thanks for the warning! I just got home so an update is coming soon. I might be a bit slow this weekend anyways. Now that our field season has started we are outside hand-pollinating every morning.

Did any of the attacks (beside the natural 1) miss? I need to know how much damage Tortuga took from his vicious amulet.


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

Nope, they all hit.

If there was only one room left and we suspected the BBEG was beyond the door, could we have taken time to buff before entering?


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

I suppose. I gave you guys an extra day just waiting before the last day though and no one spoke up.

Some rolls were not so great. If all the attacks hit I'd be at 80/104 hp, but I'll update my hp once I know how much damage I took.

There is nothing in remove fear that says the CL has to beat the CL of the fear effect. All it says is that it suppresses any currently active fear effect. Unless the creature's fear effect specifies that the CL must be higher, then as far as I know it should work.


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

Ok, in that case she is still up but the attack would have gone against you rather than Bizzle as Bizzle moved out of the room anyways.

I moved Tortuga back to where he was on the map. Now the question is, would she have stuck around to full attack Tortuga or moves, risking an AoO from the monk?

Also, which attacks hit so I can adjust hp?

Looks like I completely whiffed that round. Only one high enough on the miss chance had a low attack roll.

Finally it looks like the stunning fist attack connected.

If she becomes stunned, Medusa's Wrath kicks in and Tortuga will have 2 more attacks to make.

Thanks for running the game.

I hope I wasn't too much of a burden in the first half, and hope I didn't overshadow the group too much in the second. This was my -1 PC, so I didn't really have a good grasp what the Pathfinder Society was about when I made the character.

I thought it was just fine. Sometimes things work right for a PC! I was really hoping Suggestion or that pit was gonna work out better than it did though!

Oh, and this is my -1 as well. I still don't know what I'm doing...


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

Not at all! Tortuga and Bizzle are both certainly better built than my -1, which turned into a ranger/wizard/zen archer/samurai/arcane archer because I couldn't decide what I wanted him to do. So now he's just a mediocre archer with some spells and a level 5 camel....

Anyways, the game has been reported and the chronicles sent! Let me know if there are any problems. I will keep the campaign until tomorrow so everyone has a chance to read the conclusion and react if they wish and then I'll set it to inactive.

Thanks a lot! You were a great group!

Well being to lowest leveled pc in the group feels really bad and I hope I didn't detract from any potential reward you guys might have gotten. On a personal note though, I have the serpent's rise chronicle sheet so do i get a boon for dealing with 322?
