GM Lorenzo's PFS-Sanctioned Module: Daughters of Fury (Inactive)

Game Master Lawrence Smith 2

Everyone was fully “recharged” upon waking up to the sounds of the attack.

@Lord Braggett: Question re Kibble's bodyguard AoOs. One gets expended every time Lord Braggett is attacked, right? (Whether needed or successful?)

It should be anytime he, or an ally in melee reach is attacked. They don't need to hit to trigger them, just attacked.

That's how I read it, too.

Everybody: Please indicate the -1 penalty to damage rolls when attacking with alchemical silver weapons. I might not always remember to apply it myself.

Thanks.

Yep, that's about the size of it re the bodyguard, and I'll make sure to specifically add the -1 from now on. :)

Unless its bludgeoning of course. No penalty for those.

Indeed, Hanlin. Thanks for reminding us that the -1 penalty to damage rolls for alchemical silver weapons only applies to piercing and slashing weapons.

Checking in, since there wasn't anything for me to really post 'today' (1-17-18)! Hanlin, your messages for Guidance crack me up :)

Its like magic missile.. you spam it at low levels so may as well make it interesting!

I'm going to assume the party took the time to examine what it found on the lemures, so I'd say the bless weapon spell has expired. The rounds of combat, searching and retrieving the items, examining them, then moving back and forth, yes, more than 10 rounds seems reasonable.

I agree.

cool just checking

Looks like I might have ninja'ed you, Lorenzo.

No problem. Glad we're keeping things moving!

My mistake, indicating Erlathan had an AoO. Ogash's movement wouldn't have provoked an AoO from him or Hanlin anyway.

Please update the Treasure tracking slides. Indicate what you've claimed and anything you've expended. If you wish to give any of the items to Vegazi, let me know.

I think I'd like to try an overrun manoeuvre to give people room to act, but would Braggett make the roll or Kibble? Mounted rules are a bit fuzzy on a lot of areas, and this one seems to be more of a case of ask your GM. Personally, I'm leaning more towards Braggett because of the wording of Trample feat, but I can see it going the other way too.

Ya I'm very sorry to have up and vanished for the last week but we've had a sudden death in the family and I've been away from home. I won't be back to a normal schedule until likely Monday. I'll try to get semi caught up and add in a brief post before then.

Thanks

Don't we have a scroll of see invis floating around? For a minute I thought it was invis purge and I was feeling guilty...

I totally forgot about that! We did pick up a scroll of see invisibility, but nobody claimed it. So it's probably in Kibble's saddle bags, and I just sent him running without a rider... Doh! Speaking of, I did the whole speak with animals bit because Kibble doesn't know the appropriate trick (maybe Seek or Detect?) to sniff out the invisible devil. If you think I'm stretching things a little, GM, I can use the 'defend' trick instead, directing Kibble to aid Nina.

I'm okay with unclaimed loot being located in Kibble's saddlebags.

"Seek" make sense, and "Aid" is another useful trick, but I don't see them among Kibble's trained tricks. Lord Braggett can still attempt a DC25 Handle Animal check to "push" Kibble to perform those tricks.

Lord Braggett can order Kibble to defend another PC, no problem, it's only DC10 and auto-succeeds unless Kibble has suffered more than 4 points of damage.

@Bishop, unless I missed something, a double move this round would get you 60 ft from your start position (so ending up somewhere near Vegazi).

Sorry I should be behind Hanlin Vegazi since we are in round 7/8 still. I had moved up but I dont think you caught it.

As I'd mentioned in some of my other games, I'm going to be traveling starting tomorrow until the 18th. I still intend to post in this game once a day (if my iPad cooperates...) but if I don't feel free to bot me. You know the drill... Magic missile for days, burning hands if the opportunity presents itself, spend arcana liberally, etc.

I'm about to start filling out the Chronicle sheets. Please check your PC's info in the matrix here.

Anything else you'd like me to note on your Chronicle sheets?

I have had Marty as the player name on all my other chronicle sheets (I didn't know when I started that I could use my username,) would it matter if it says ShieldBug from now on, or am I stuck with Marty?

I'll put any player name you want on your Chronicle sheet. ShieldBug it is, unless you change your mind.

Only thing I can think of is -2PP for my Wand of Bless?

Ditto, except Nina spent 2PP for a heal stick :)

Bishop purchased:

a wand of bless weapon 2 pp
a wand of mage armour for 750 gp

By the way, since I didn't have a chance to chime in on it earlier, I'm fine with waiting until Red gets back before starting Part 2 or continuing on as normal. No matter what we do though, I should be able to get Nina leveled up this morning.

Please review the two slides listing the treasure you've acquired. Unclaimed items are highlighted in yellow. Please indicate what your PC possesses and anything you'd like to give to Vegazi.

Thank you for bottling me, Lorenzo, and in a way that was true to Erlathan's character.

I'd mentioned on hangouts that I probably won't be able to level myself up until next Monday morning so unless we were to pause, my abilities will be a little lacking if we get into another battle before Ive properly leveled up. Don't want to hold up our game, so it's your call, of course.

No problem, Red. We'll wait for you.

I've reported the session to Paizo.

You can find your Chronicle sheets here.

Please let me know if I need to make any corrections.

We'll start Daughters of Fury, Ch. 2: The Border Standings when Red returns next Monday.

I'll try and go down the list and give my thoughts about the unclaimed loots:

Cold Iron Dagger - Nina's already got one of these.

Scroll of See Invisibility - Either Nina or Erlathan can hold this since the spell is on both the Sorc/Wiz & USummoner spell lists. No preference.

MW Heavy Crossbow w/ Bolts - Pass, Nina's got a light crossbow and she's more of a melee-type anyway.

Holy Water x5 - Nina's still got one of her own but she'll happily take another of these. It looks like there should be enough for each of us to have one if we want.

MW Orc Double Axe - Pass. Maybe something Vegazi could use when she can't arrow it up?

Throwing Axe x3 - Also pass.

Smokestick - Sure, Nina will take this unless someone else really wants it or we think Vegazi could get better use from it.

Climber's Kit - Meh? We can always put this in Inky or Kibble's saddlebags if we don't want to carry it ourselves.

Hemp Rope (50 ft.) - Inky's already carrying some in her saddlebags.

Locked Gauntlet - Pass.

MW Manacles - Meh...Hanlin or Lord Braggett seem more the type to want to carry these around, hehe.

Scrolls of Magic Missile & Ray of Enfeeblement - Pass to Erlathan since Nina can't use them.

Oil of Magic Weapon - Nina would take this, but only if Bishop or Lord Braggett or someone didn't want it.

Scroll of Remove Curse - Hanlin!

Potion of Cure Light Wounds x4 - Though Nina's got a healing stick, she'd be happy to take a potion to use in combat if need be.

Periapt of Protection from Curses - Probably should go to Hanlin or Lord Braggett.

I added in a few things to claim on the list. The +1 breastplate, once I get it cleaned nicely of course. The spikes will take getting used to I suppose.

The divine scrolls of course, feel free to take some if you can use them. I think I grabbed a healing potion and a holy water as well. We've got a bunch of unidentified things if one of the arcane casters has access to the identify spell.

I'm assuming we have access to these items for the entire series?

Yes.

I think I claimed the cold iron dagger on the chart, then realized I already had one... so ya.

I wrote down the scroll of remove curse.

The chronicle looks great, GM!

Given Braggett's poor will saves, I'm not going to argue if offered the Periapt of Protection from Curses. :)

Nina or Bishop can have the Oil of Magic Weapon, since I already have one of my own. However, I did smash two flasks of Holy water in the catacombs, so I'll snaffle one of them up along with a potion of CLW in case of emergency. I'll also take the Manacles, because why not? :)

Not too interested in anything else, I mean, Braggett isn't going to slum it with help rope when he has the silken kind Kibble's saddlebags. Plus crossbows are nowhere near stereotypically knightly enough. :)

If everyone has a cold iron dagger already, maybe we can give that to Vegazi too?

If no one else has the use, Hanlin will take the MW heavy crossbow and bolts. I doubt I'll really ever take more than 1 shot in a combat with a crossbow and mine is a regular light crossbow.

Are there any purchase restrictions at this place other than what we would normally have at this level/fame and for a gold cap? I've got over 4k gold now all of a sudden!

With the 9 Fame I have, its looking like PFS rules give me a 1500g cap on magic item purchases.

If no other restrictions I plan to:

+1 on my shield for 1,000g
Pearl of Power I for 1,000g
+1 Cloak of Resistance for 1,000g

My questions echo Hanlin's re: what's available to buy here in town. Other than possibly making some purchases, Nina and Inky are leveled up and good to go for Part 2 :)

I'll take the oil of magic weapon for those big fights but I'm still likely to use my bless weapon wand where possible.

Iron Dagger, double axe, and if she wants the throwing axes all seem like gifts we can provide our orc-blooded archer.

Excellent question re purchase restrictions, one I hadn't considered in my preparations and planning.

Arwyll Stead is a small town with a population of 681 persons. The "always available" rule applies when the PCs are in a small city-sized settlement with at least 5000 residents.

The action in Chapter 2 begins immediately after the conclusion of Chapter 1, so there's no time to go to Vigil yourselves to acquire items or spellcasting services.

Never fear, valiant Pathfinders, for Venture-Captain Evni Zongnoss is mindful of and concerned about the progress of her field agents deployed in remote Arwyll Stead. She has already dispatched her knight-errant, Chastity Nevagonnagetzum, paladin of Iomedae. Pressing his mount to near exhaustion, he will arrive late this evening to receive your report.

You may provide him a shopping list and the necessary funds to make your purchases. He should be able to return to Arwyll Stead within three days, barring any unfortunate mishaps or attacks by roving bands of devils, orcs, and dire beasts...

Oh. Guess Hanlin will have to entrust 3k gold into the hands of a lonely knight.

I'm also trying to decide if I want to spend 2PP or that boon on something. I had thought about a prot evil wand but we seem to be well stocked in those scrolls.

Lol @ GM - Thanks! It might take me a bit (and a little research) but I'll noodle over possible purchases for Nina and get back to you as quickly as I can :)

Okay, that noodling took a lot longer than I'd planned but Nina would like to pick up the following:

Masterwork Lance - 310 gp
Mithral Chain Shirt - 1,100 gp
Wand of Shield (50 charges) - 750gp
I think I'll also use the Gift from Arwyll Manor boon to purchase a fully-charged Wand of Rejuvenate Eidolon, Lesser.

All of those things should give Nina and Inky a decent bump in durability/survivability, I hope :)

I'm not sure what items a 4th level character should have, but it seems like a magic weapon must be on the list, so Braggett would like to get the following items:

+1 Light Silver Flail - 2398 gp
Ioun Torch - 75 gp
Snapleaf - As a Gift from Arwyll Manor

He has also taken a couple of Arwyll Stead's orphans under his wing, a Squire (vanity bought a few chronicles ago, but keep forgetting to use) and a Herald (for 1 prestige point.)

Having gained an additional 4 prestige, Erlathan can now purchase items up 5,250 gp in value, which means he will entrust the paladin with 5,050 gp so that he can finally buy a Quarterstaff of Entwined Serpents.

Otherwise, he's leveled up. Not a whole lot of changes - took Abyssal as a language as it may prove useful in this module, have a couple extra spell slots. I'm ready to go now. Thanks everyone for waiting for me!

The initiative order reflects the first "roll" of the digital dice. The results beneath the spoiler adjusted as I advanced the action with additional rolls for attacks and damage during the Surprise Round and the early stages of Round 1.

@Nina. If you don't approve of the action I took on Inky's behalf in the Surprise Round, you're free to change it.

That worked just fine for me GM - thanks!
