Right, we will need to rope him up good and tight if and when he falls unconscious.

He could very well be our contact, so we probably shouldn't try to knock him out.
Sorry folks, had 2 days of meetings and forgot to let you know in advance. Back now.

My point being, Jenks did not know the dagger was poisoned. If the items get delivered on behalf of the Apsis then the Lissalans will believe the Consortium tried to poison the leadership, making the Apsis look very bad. Also I think the GM has been more than helpful in trying to guide us down the right path.

I think poisoning the leadership of the Lissians furthers our goals. As such, I vote we give the items it is unlikely we will need to the good chap helping out.

Since the game has essentually stopped, maybe we could retcon, let Ranvar decide if he even accepts the Flesh to Stone, or would prefere the "lizard's" blood? Otherwise, as far as I'm concerned, is there really anything else to do?

We should trash the place I think. Not sure if we should risk our hides with the Basilisk though. On a side not, I want to check on that map I got to see if I can get word to my pirate for the faction mission.

Otherwise, as far as I'm concerned, is there really anything else to do? I don't think it matters Soth. I checked his postings and he asked to have his account closed on Feb. 12, ten days before he dies in this scenario. He request was granted, Sara Marie closed it out

I see. Ok, then is there really anything left for us to do? Just walking out (with the items) should strain the relationship, and I don't think we have been great "guests" so far. :) I'm good finishing here, but if people till want to play some more, I'm cool with that too.
For reference, you haven't actually done what the Venture-Captain asked you to do: sabotage the safe house and frame the Aspis for it. You have, however, nearly completed the mission that the Aspis asked you to do: collect items from churches and give them to the Lissalans.
Esmerelda: the island on the map is hundreds of miles away; you think providing the location to your friends should be sufficient.
Also: when being un-petrified by basilisk blood, you need to make the same save to survive. Never dump Con is one lesson here.

Never have a con under 12, 14 preferable for all things PFS related. Also, spending 9.99 on a folio recommended... And Lessons of Chaldira, and, ...
Male Human(Varisian) Cad 7 (HP 60/60; AC:25, T:14, FF:23; Fort:+9 Ref:+6 Will:+6; Init+2; Perception+0)
Well in this case having more con wouldn't have helped because he rolled super low, but otherwise yes. This was just a case of putting something in tier 1-2 that wasn't appropriate. Like fighting wights or barbarians with +2 flaming greataxes at level 1.
This is a *big* limitation of PbP play - I would have rolled that behind the screen in a face-to-face game, and he would have made it. New players (as opposed to new *characters*) up against nigh-insurmountable odds get some slack cut. Since he dropped his account already, there's no point, though.
So, what next? Do you wish to finish the scenario?
AC23/Touch16/Flat18/CMD27||HP49[53]|Fort:+8;Ref:+8;Will:+4|Percept.+13|Init.+4 Elf Fighter(Lorewarden) 6 / Lantern Bearer 1
Definitely finish the scenario.

So what's the plan? Should we try to get the amulet from this guy? I'm sure the stone statue would do a pretty good job of tearing up the place. Do we make sure his boss gets the gifts first?
Male Human(Varisian) Cad 7 (HP 60/60; AC:25, T:14, FF:23; Fort:+9 Ref:+6 Will:+6; Init+2; Perception+0)
I don't see that as a limitation. I actually prefer things to be above board. I just would have liked a warning or a check of some kind to know about the chance of instant death. Oh and where does it say that using Basilisk blood has the same Fort Save? I looked it up and can't find it.
I would like to finish the scenario. We've spent this long on it, might as well keep going.
20/20, AC:20, T: 11, FF: 19, CMD: 16, Fort +7, Refl +3, Will +5, Init: +1, Perc: +0, LG Human Male Paladin 2, Longsword +6 1d8+7 (19/x2)
I'm good finishing the scenario, it just seems like no one was posting for a rather long time, and I wasn't sure if we just kind of dropped the game.
As for the Flesh to Stone, Stone to Flesh thing, I could se it either way. The Gaze does specify that it works like Flesh to Stone, which does not have the extra save attached for system shock. It's logical to assume that the blood would work like Stone to Flesh, (which does have that extra Save), but it doesn't technically say that it uses this spell, just that it "instantly returns to flesh". Could go either way.
A note that the blood thing is unique to PF, and didn't exist in 3.5, if you failed the Save, you where just permanently tuned to stone, and Ston to Flesh did have that save. The Gaze was not based of of either spell, either.

Sounds like we are all on board to continue so..
Lets make like deodorant, and Roll On.

We should take a tour with our esteemed priest friend, make note of what to break/sabotage on the way out, ditch him at the end, and break while we flee. Don't want to deal with the Basilisk or the statue if can be avoided.
[Edit: Fixed an auto correct gone awry word.]

Yea, that sounds like a good of a plan as any.

I am sorry, I ended up with a bad case of strep throat that progressed to a tonsillar abscess. I hope to be on my feet again by Friday. Until then I plan on sleeping, a lot. It kinda hurts.
Male Human(Varisian) Cad 7 (HP 60/60; AC:25, T:14, FF:23; Fort:+9 Ref:+6 Will:+6; Init+2; Perception+0)
Waiting to hear from our DM.
Sorry to hear that Esme.
Hey guys - sorry, was also down with a case of strep throat - two kids in day care equals access to the all-you-can-eat germ buffet. And I swear, I didn't get it from Esmerelda!
Back now, let's get'er done.
Scott
I hope everyone is feeling better.

XOX
OSO
XOX
So I figure, if S = Stature, X's are blank spaces, and O's are allies, we should arrange five feet away from the statue, then on Soth's cue, all five foot step, and attack. Hopefully, it would get us a surprise round, with luck on Initiative . . .

I'm willing to try it, but I have a feeling that it might activate before we have a chance to set up. :)

I'm sorry guys/gals, but I'm going to need to drop out. I need the character as my only remaining character for a home game. I had thought that we where nearly done, but then posts just kind of stopped agian. I wanted to wait till the last moment, too.
If the GM's cool with officially registring and passing out Chronicles Sheets, I wouldn't mind sort of unofficially finishing up and RPing the rest, but I'm not really sure what is going on and it's been kind of on hold for a while. I hope everyone is ok. I had some issues like this while deployed, so I understand that sometimes things just happen.
Female Gnome HP 29/31 | AC 17/12/16 | F: 6 / R: 2 / W: 8 | Init: +1 | Perception: +15(17) | Diplomacy: +11
You have probably completed over half, so I think you get full credit for whatever happens. I am thinking we should either full tilt sabotage on the way out, and avoid yonder statue, or just find one thing to break so he have officially sabotaged, and then call it good.

Hi folks, due to illness I haven't been able to get back to this. I have some upcoming challenges and I think it would be simplest if we finish quickly and get you your Chronicle sheets. You have done a great job thus far in terms of dealing with the scenario, so I really don't feel like I'm giving you anything for "free" by handwaving the exit from the complex. If you agree, I'll write up a summary for completeness. Let me know.
Male Human(Varisian) Cad 7 (HP 60/60; AC:25, T:14, FF:23; Fort:+9 Ref:+6 Will:+6; Init+2; Perception+0)
Yea, we've spent a fair amount of time on this. I'm good to move on.

Me too so long as it is possible to avoid threats while finishing the sabotage as written. Esmeralda was saving one first level spell in order to replace the illusory wall for bypassing the Basilisk on the way out...

Do you email addresses for Chronicles?

Just checking in!
Easiest (for me) way to distribute chronicle sheets is to post a link to the scanned chronicle, and host the sheet(s) on Google Drive - formerly known as Google Docs.
Male Human(Varisian) Cad 7 (HP 60/60; AC:25, T:14, FF:23; Fort:+9 Ref:+6 Will:+6; Init+2; Perception+0)
Yea, are we gonna finish this? I've noticed our DM posting in other threads...

Male Human(Varisian) Cad 7 (HP 60/60; AC:25, T:14, FF:23; Fort:+9 Ref:+6 Will:+6; Init+2; Perception+0)
Yea, suffice to say we've been abandoned.. :(

Has anyone tried to contact him about this? I might just step in and report the game, but I'm not sure I can find the GM's PFS number. I have the scenario, so if you PM me your info, I'll see if I can report it so at least you can appy credit one way or the other.
Male Human(Varisian) Cad 7 (HP 60/60; AC:25, T:14, FF:23; Fort:+9 Ref:+6 Will:+6; Init+2; Perception+0)
I just did, though I'm a little miffed that he's been posting in other threads lately. :(

Or, if you guys would like, I can bow out and take over DMing the game for you. Let me know. I avoided reading the scenario, so I would have anything spoiled, but at this point, I think I can forget that. :)
Male Human(Varisian) Cad 7 (HP 60/60; AC:25, T:14, FF:23; Fort:+9 Ref:+6 Will:+6; Init+2; Perception+0)
I'm honestly kind of done. We started this mod in November.. I'd just like to wrap it up and get my chronicle so I can play this PC again.

I know what you mean. In PbP I try to run one game and play one at a time, but my main character is very fr ahead of my normal home group, I literaly had no other characters to play and had to pull it. If I can get the DM's PFS number, I'll report it for him.
