GM Polygoon's Beginner Box Campaign - Goblin Hunt!

Game Master Jerran_Kell

This campaign was created to give new players a chance to play Pathfinder using the Play By Post method here on the Paizo forums.

Ok, that's weird. I'd posted on Wednesday but now it's gone. At least I stayed where I moved myself on the map.

I'm here, standing by.

Still here, sorry, work is getting busy.

And so Grognar died. He was eaten by a giant butterfly for desecrating one of Desna's altars. :)


Male Human Druid 1 HP: 7/9 AC: 14 | T:13, | FF: 12 | CMB: +0 | CMD: 11 | F: +3, R: +1, W: +6 | Init: +1 | Perc: +8, Spell: +6, Hand Anim: +4, Know (Nat): +8, Stealth: +2, Heal: +8, Surv: +10, Acro: +1

Hopefully our GM isn't using the old AD&D Dungeon Master's Guide to determine Grognar's fate. :)

"Here lies Grognar. He died in a horribly Gygaxian manner."


Common Check Text Current Location : GoblinHuntMap Loot Sheet

Hmm, something involving falling rocks...


Monk 1 HP: 10/11 AC: 16 | T:16, | FF: 13 | CMB: +3 | CMD: 19 | F: +5, R: +4, W: +5 | Init: +2 | Perc: +7, SM: +7 |Darkvision Lootsheet

@GM Polygoon

I don't speak for the others, but is it an idea to roll Grognar's fate, the treasure rolls and other kinds of rolls where the player can't look up the result by yourself to save time?

You post the roll and the effect in one post instead of asking a player, have the player roll, you have to look up that roll in a table and then post the result of that roll.


Common Check Text Current Location : GoblinHuntMap Loot Sheet

I like the players to roll as much as possible so that I'm not just playing by myself and unlucky rolls are more credible, but I'll take over some more of them.

Everyone else with a 9 or 10... and then me. With a 1.
Sosad.
Lol

Sorry Navika. :(

Though for all I know, a 9 could mean that Fyfe gets poked in the eye by the Hand of Vecna or is crushed by falling rocks.

Maybe that stirge of doooom will come back for him...


Monk 1 HP: 10/11 AC: 16 | T:16, | FF: 13 | CMB: +3 | CMD: 19 | F: +5, R: +4, W: +5 | Init: +2 | Perc: +7, SM: +7 |Darkvision Lootsheet

@GM Wicked, is there a knowledgeskill Krakkagar can roll for, knowledge religion perhaps to learn more about the fickle fountain of deathly butterflies?


Common Check Text Current Location : GoblinHuntMap Loot Sheet

Yes knowledge of Religion would help with understanding the fountain of mystery.

Without spoiling the whole truth, the effects revealed so far have only involved either a buff or penalty to various rolls. Luckily for Navika and Eal this inconvenience is not a permanent one.


Common Check Text Current Location : GoblinHuntMap Loot Sheet

Sorry, things are a bit busy and I'm running a bit late. Will update asap.


Monk 1 HP: 10/11 AC: 16 | T:16, | FF: 13 | CMB: +3 | CMD: 19 | F: +5, R: +4, W: +5 | Init: +2 | Perc: +7, SM: +7 |Darkvision Lootsheet

Navika, which level 0 spells do you have on your spell list?

Just some dice rollin'

Spoiler:
5d100 ⇒ (81, 94, 83, 57, 86) = 401
5d100 ⇒ (62, 73, 5, 66, 99) = 305
5d100 ⇒ (22, 1, 73, 72, 90) = 258
5d100 ⇒ (93, 51, 93, 16, 82) = 335
5d100 ⇒ (78, 98, 12, 82, 95) = 365
5d100 ⇒ (99, 95, 5, 20, 84) = 303
5d100 ⇒ (88, 47, 85, 66, 25) = 311
5d100 ⇒ (69, 87, 17, 12, 31) = 216
5d100 ⇒ (38, 53, 81, 1, 34) = 207
5d100 ⇒ (20, 47, 31, 82, 26) = 206
5d100 ⇒ (8, 96, 63, 79, 77) = 323
5d100 ⇒ (14, 9, 55, 29, 3) = 110
5d100 ⇒ (97, 88, 37, 3, 34) = 259
5d100 ⇒ (61, 22, 78, 15, 39) = 215
5d100 ⇒ (56, 35, 57, 7, 41) = 196
5d100 ⇒ (34, 79, 88, 66, 43) = 310

And also, the mission is done, once you report back to the sheriff the adventure we set out to do will be complete. Well done!

Navika, try to pick up a simple level 0 spell like daze or flare. Those do not require a to hit roll, and weakening the enemies attack power is always usefull.


Monk 1 HP: 10/11 AC: 16 | T:16, | FF: 13 | CMB: +3 | CMD: 19 | F: +5, R: +4, W: +5 | Init: +2 | Perc: +7, SM: +7 |Darkvision Lootsheet

Updated the loot sheet with our findings.

If anyone wants to claim some of the items on it, go ahead and put your name behind the item.


Common Check Text Current Location : GoblinHuntMap Loot Sheet

Everyone ok? Just looking for the people to cross the water.


Monk 1 HP: 10/11 AC: 16 | T:16, | FF: 13 | CMB: +3 | CMD: 19 | F: +5, R: +4, W: +5 | Init: +2 | Perc: +7, SM: +7 |Darkvision Lootsheet

I believe only Eal has not said what he is going to do.

Also Krakkagar, can you identify that creature in case it decides to attack? GM Polygoon probably knows the relevant knowledge.


Common Check Text Current Location : GoblinHuntMap Loot Sheet

I'll look at xp to make sure everything is accounted for, so far I think only the reefclaw hasnt been.

I feel like people are getting close to a level change but need to look at the actual numbers. It has been fun just telling the story. :)


Monk 1 HP: 10/11 AC: 16 | T:16, | FF: 13 | CMB: +3 | CMD: 19 | F: +5, R: +4, W: +5 | Init: +2 | Perc: +7, SM: +7 |Darkvision Lootsheet

I'm now at 1200 XP, (that is including everything up to the bugbear) and I am the one with the most experience. Still need 800 XP before leveling.

I suggest we continue exploring the cave, as there is a passage to the south, and a mysterious door next to the entrance.

Also, is there a passage in the top left of the cave where we fought the goblin leader?


Common Check Text Current Location : GoblinHuntMap Loot Sheet

That's actually a 20 foot high cliff that you would have to find a way up to.

And you missed a treasure chest after the goblin fight.

Also:

Tying to come up with some standard text you folks can add to every post to streamline the checks. Especially at doors and with locked things, which could hold us up.

Something like (just remove the . from the command)

[.spoiler=Dice Rolls]
[.dice=perception]1d20[/dice]
[.dice=perception(Stonework)]1d20+2[/dice]
[.dice=Spellcraft]1d20[/dice]
[.dice=Knowledge(Nature)]1d20[/dice]

[.dice=reflex save]1d20[/dice]
[.dice=fortitude save]1d20[/dice]

[.dice=initiative]1d20[/dice]
[.dice=treasureTable]5d100[/dice]

And whatever other special rule you have at the moment.
[/spoiler]

and I'd only use the most recent roll you made if the situation calls for it. It won't cover every situation but maybe it will help.

Result would look like:

Dice Rolls:

perception: 1d20 ⇒ 19
perception(Stonework): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Spellcraft: 1d20 ⇒ 20
Knowledge(Nature): 1d20 ⇒ 20

reflex save: 1d20 ⇒ 6
fortitude save: 1d20 ⇒ 18

initiative: 1d20 ⇒ 4
treasureTable: 5d100 ⇒ (25, 52, 8, 63, 56) = 204

And whatever other special rule you have at the moment.

Feedback welcome.

You could remove the dot only from the roll you need. Or just use the roll you need, erasing the rest.


Common Check Text Current Location : GoblinHuntMap Loot Sheet

Hmm, it seems like we may have lost some momentum. The mission itself is complete, do you feel like the game has run it's course? What is the general opinion?


Male Human (Shoanti) Ranger 1 HP: 13/13 AC: 17 | T:13, | FF: 14 | CMB: +3 | CMD: 16 | F: +4, R: +5, W: +1 | Init: +7 | Perc: +5, SM: +2 | Favored Enemy (Goblinoids): +2

I'm happy to continue.


Male Human Bard/1 | HP: 9/9 | AC: 13, T: 13, FF: 10 | CMB: +1 | CMD: 14 | F: +0, R: +5, W: +2 | Init: +3 | Perception + 4, Bluff: +7, Diplomacy: + 7

Yeah, I'm good to keep going if everyone else is. I've been moving this weekend so I haven't had much time to check in.


Male Human Druid 1 HP: 7/9 AC: 14 | T:13, | FF: 12 | CMB: +0 | CMD: 11 | F: +3, R: +1, W: +6 | Init: +1 | Perc: +8, Spell: +6, Hand Anim: +4, Know (Nat): +8, Stealth: +2, Heal: +8, Surv: +10, Acro: +1

I'm good to keep going as well.


Male Half-Orc Barbarian/1 HP: 14/18 AC: 15 | T:10, | FF: 13 | CMB: +8 | CMD: 18 | F: +5, R: +2, W: +2 | Init: +2 | Perc: +4, |Darkvision|rage 10/13 left |+2 on to hit until ending of campaign

I'm willing to continue but wanted others to take the lead for a bit otherwise we would have fallen of a 20 fooy cliff and smashed the monster to soften the fall.


Common Check Text Current Location : GoblinHuntMap Loot Sheet

That's cool, I'm happy to keep going.

From October I'll be in a busy time at work so my posts might slow down a lot, but I don't know yet how busy it's going to be.


Male Human (Shoanti) Ranger 1 HP: 13/13 AC: 17 | T:13, | FF: 14 | CMB: +3 | CMD: 16 | F: +4, R: +5, W: +1 | Init: +7 | Perc: +5, SM: +2 | Favored Enemy (Goblinoids): +2

How much experience have we gathered so far?


Common Check Text Current Location : GoblinHuntMap Loot Sheet

Hi all,

Obviously this adventure stalled out, but I want to say thanks to you all for sticking with it as long as we did. I had a great time and I hope you did too.

The important thing to remember is that you DID complete the mission, and were just exploring the rest of the cave to see what else might come along.

So I'm calling it a success.
Experience: everyone is close to leveling up.


Male Human (Shoanti) Ranger 1 HP: 13/13 AC: 17 | T:13, | FF: 14 | CMB: +3 | CMD: 16 | F: +4, R: +5, W: +1 | Init: +7 | Perc: +5, SM: +2 | Favored Enemy (Goblinoids): +2

We did, didn't we? :-)

Thanks for the fun, Polygoon!


Male Human Druid 1 HP: 7/9 AC: 14 | T:13, | FF: 12 | CMB: +0 | CMD: 11 | F: +3, R: +1, W: +6 | Init: +1 | Perc: +8, Spell: +6, Hand Anim: +4, Know (Nat): +8, Stealth: +2, Heal: +8, Surv: +10, Acro: +1

It certainly came at the right time for me, just as I was getting back into RPGs. I'm playing/running mostly 5E now, but this was a lot of fun.

Thanks for bringing it together GM Polygoon!
