Have you played this scenario before?
Anything weird/special I need to know about your PC?

As I said, it'll take me a couple of days to get everything set up and ready. I'm shooting for starting the game this weekend. In the mean time, I'll set up the game play thread, and you can all introduce yourselves in character there before the adventure begins.


So, by my reckoning, we have the following players:

Orin Arkhein - Dwarf Cleric (Forgemaster)
Davor Breakbeak - Tengu Inquisitor
I'm Hiding in Your Closet - TBD (Ranger, Warpriest, Rogue, Oracle)
Gilthanis - TBD
Middleman - TBD
Osamu Dazai - Cleric

Gilthanis and/or "I'm Hiding in Your Closet", any idea what you might bring?

Given that we've already got a surplus of divine mages, I'll instead debut:

Anything weird/special I need to know about your PC? There's a little bit of nuance to his armor class, as he has the Breeze-Kissed alternate Sylph racial feature - normally, it will be 2 higher than listed against non-magical ranged attacks, but won't be once/if he's expended the ability's daily potential as an offensive power.

Oh, and his weapon hand is possessed.

I was actually going to ask what you meant by a possessed hand, since I don't know that one. But apparently, it's not PFS legal, so you'll have to switch it out. I don't usually do full character audits, so I probably would have missed that.

Whoops! I'm a little surprised. I'm not sure why they'd deem that haram.

At least it frees up some of my feat slots.

Okay. I that still leaves my main choices open (2nd rank/reach melee not a tank, or alchemist).

Orin, what's your perception modifier? I'm trying to set up the rolls in advance, but I can't find it in your stats. For that matter, I'm not seeing any skills on your stat page.

And you can update your HP back to max. Presumably, you slept enough nights to heal up since your last adventure. :)

Heads up all... I am going to Gamex this weekend... we leave early in the morning and not sure when/if I'll be able to check in before Monday night... If I can post, it will be limited in time with brief posts... Please feel free to bot me if I'm holding things up... thanks...

Silver Crusade

I've got a busy weekend, too. I'll probably check in every day, but it may be a slow weekend for activity.

Yeah, I have honestly been a bit too lax about that in the somewhat limited time I have. I recall mentioning I followed Irori, but that's not entirely the point, certainly I need to put such things in my profile, for purposes of playing and such. I will do so now so I don't forget later.

Silver Crusade

I'm ready to give up on the Paizo forums. I've been trying to check in here at least 10 times a day for the past week, and I'm getting in maybe once per day, if I'm lucky.

On the rare occasion that I can actually get into the threads lately, I feel like I need to rush to figure out what I'm doing and get my posts in before the site goes down again. So I don't have time to think, or work around my own schedule.

I refuse to keep beating my head against a wall and feeling guilty that I'm not responding to this game fast enough, or the two PBP games where I'm a player. I'm done.

For now, I'm postponing this game. If Paizo can get their site problems fixed some time this week, we'll resume it.

Understandable, I suppose. Hopefully the site will start working regularly again soon.

That's quite an ultimatum. Ouch. Maybe you'll want to leave Shifty or Hmm or someone like that some off-site contact information so they can tell you when the problem's been solved?

If it makes you feel better, I wasn't bothered by the delay. We're all affected equally by the site instability. :)

Silver Crusade

Sorry if my earlier post seemed overly melodramatic. With the problems with the forums going on for nearly a week now, and other stuff going on in my life, I guess I'm just getting stressed out.

But the forums actually seem to be back in working order now, so we'll keep going as long as that doesn't change.

Frankly, I'm less bothered by "drama" than I am by the people who make a big show of how much they hate it and who would otherwise rather take poison than take a stand or respect people who do. Still, you did give us a start, and we don't want to lose you. :)

Well, we can hope that this post will improve the situation in the long run.

I hope we haven't lost a player. It looks like about a week since Voarima posted. I thought the web site reliability issues were mostly fixed, but it wouldn't surprise me if some people still had problems.

Still here. The site was off/on for 2-3 days tho. Plus I have been trying to get over being sick.

Silver Crusade

FYI, I'll be involved in some family stuff the next few days and may not be able to post as often. I'll try to post once per day, but I make no guarantees.

Again, sorry for the delays the last few days. I just got home after a few days staying with family, so I should have more stable internet access now. Hopefully, the site will be stable enough for us to continue at a faster pace.

So: What is the significance of the name "Fromper?"

Silver Crusade

It's a nonsense word I made up as the name of my first D&D character. At 10 years old, the alliteration of Fromper the Fighter sounded cool.

When I started using the internet years later, and needed an online nickname, it just seemed unique enough to be a useful identifier for myself.

@Voarima: For future reference, Medium-sized chakra do 1d8 damage. :)

Silver Crusade

Still waiting for Davor, who hasn't posted since Monday. I'll give him another day, then bot him if he doesn't show up, just to keep things moving. This can actually be a long fight (for reasons you'll find out about on the first enemy's turn), so I'd like to keep it moving.

Speaking of which, I'll probably report the adventure this Friday, even if we're not quite done. Mostly because I want to put the chronicle sheet on a PC that I might play next weekend at a local con, so I'd like to level up to 2nd before then. You actually already earned both prestige by completing all 4 tasks, assuming these new enemies don't knock you out/kill you, and then steal the stuff you collected to bring back to the Grand Lodge.

Bad news: Looking over my posts, I discovered that I already used my folio reroll this adventure when I was stung by Zarta's imp...so unless someone could somehow have done something about this, I should have been stuck with the worse roll after that rat bite.

Silver Crusade

Yeah, it's easy to lose track of that stuff in PBP. It doesn't have an immediate impact. You have 1d3 days until the disease sets in, so we'll deal with it after the adventure.

Silver Crusade

Sirius, is your PFS # above correct? It brought up a different character name in a different faction when I reported the session.

Oops; a couple of problems would have led to that. Try #27.

Silver Crusade

That did it. The -27 PC is Sirius.

Working on chronicle sheets now. Ran into problems scanning them. I bought a new printer/scanner about a month ago, and it's worked great for printing, but this is my first time trying to scan with it. For some reason, it didn't recognize the computer (the same one that it prints from with no problem). Simply rebooting both the computer and printer/scanner seems to have done the trick. Scanning them in now.

Dazai
Gunthur
Orin

Let me know if you can't see them.
