Granta's Cosmic Captive (June 9 - July 21) (Inactive)

Game Master Granta

Anduris is in serious trouble. Suffocation rules are a a b+@&~, and he could really use help making those Fortitude saves.

The DCs for this scenario are done completely different: all of the subtiers are listed in two tables at the beginning of the scenario. And of course, I looked at the wrong table.

Rather than retcon several things, I'm just going to reduce Anduris from suffocating to shaken, Darvan from shaken to unaffected, and the red enemy from 13 hp to dead. That's a lot easier than redoing 3 or more posts across 2 rounds.

Oh good thanks Granta. That makes sense.

@Amelia: A 3rd-level wizard scroll is at caster level 5, so you get 5 creatures. Go ahead and do something different this round.

@Darvan: Yes, I'm counting you as a success originally.

Thunderous Aid: Ranginori has sensed his saviors are near and attempts to grant them his power and wisdom. During combat, a PC adjacent to the puzzle orb can attempt an Average Diplomacy or Spellcraft check, or Easy Use Magic Device check to direct the Duke of Thunder’s wrath. If successful, a PC can cast one of the following spells as a spell-like ability, using her character level as her caster level and either her own Charisma or 20 to determine the spell’s save DC. She can use any of the spells listed in her own subtier or in a lower subtier. This ability can only be used once per combat, and any summoned elemental disappears at the end of the combat.

Subtier 1–2: cure light wounds, shocking grasp, summon nature’s ally II (air elemental only)
Subtier 3–4: cat’s grace, cure moderate wounds

Between combats, Ranginori can impart his insights to one PC attempting a skill check to help free him. The group must decide which PC gains this bonus before she attempts a skill check, reducing the check's DC by one step (e.g. from Average to Easy).

Please start discussing now, who will get that bonus after this combat ends. And for this combat, the PCs "adjacent to the puzzle orb" are those who tried to solve it before combat started.

Can we do both the in combat and out of combat choices? Or is it one or the other?

If we can do both, I think we should summon the air elemental, and then have Anibal try that disable device again. I think she was the only one to attempt the puzzle prior to combat?

Darvan tried as well, though with it being a straight Wisdom check, he'd certainly let someone else make the attempt in his stead.

I assumed we were only able to do one action due to the guardians being summoned. Once we dispatch the statues, we should be able to continue tinkering with the thingamajig, or not?

There is going to be a series of checks and combat until the whole group gets 150 successes. The aid may be used once during each phase, starting with this combat.

And yes, we will do more checks after each combat.

It's time to roll for boons!

Boon: 1d20 ⇒ 5

Ooooh. What's on the menu?

Boon: 1d20 ⇒ 12

Boon!: 1d20 ⇒ 10

Boon: 1d20 ⇒ 11

Winds of Restoration: The Society has nearly uncovered the Untouchable Opal, and Ranginori unleashes a refreshing breeze that restores the Pathfinders' fighting spirits. Each PC heals 1d8+4 hit points, heals 1d2 points of ability damage to each ability score, and regains one daily use of a class feature. In addition, each PC recovers one or more spells that has total levels equal to his character level (minimum 3).

Please roll for the above in this thread, and list the class abilities and spells that you are recovering.

Boon: 1d20 ⇒ 3

Healing (Darvan): 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Healing (Sahba): 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Darvan will recover his use of wild shape, as well as shillelagh and one casting of barkskin.

Ability damage healing: 1d2 ⇒ 1
Healing (Hamith): 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Hamith will recover one use of his lay on hands ability, bringing the total to 7 now.

@Darvan: You get one heal per PC; Sahba isn't covered.

Amelia will recover 2 castings of Magic Missile, and a casting of Scorching Ray! Yippee!!!

Heal: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
No ability damage
...can I recover a round of rage?

Additionally, I'm setting off, now, on a vacation to Japan with family. I'll be there until August 3rd. I should have internet access but I'll have a lot less time to post. Please be patient and bear with me--bot if needed!

@Graxzos: yep!

Does anybody other than Anibal have a Day Job? His was the only roll that I saw.

I'm on mobile now so making a proper post is somewhat complicated. Some 9 hrs from now I'll be able to post with a keyboard and all the beautiful perks that come with it.

Hmm, I thought I posted my day job. Here it is.

Craft (Blacksmith): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

Craft (alchemy) +7,+1 for Artisan's Shop: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 7 + 1 = 26

There we go! Now where was that roll for me saves! ;)

Darvan doesn't have a day job :-)

Also, who has yet to get the Free RPG Day Boon?

I don't have it, but I can't say I am really interested in it to begin with.

I haven't gotten it.

I have not received that boon either.

I wanted to thank you for running a very challenging game. I have not had much experience with PbP, as I mentioned at the beginning, and I learned a lot while playing here, so thank you for that as well.

I hope you all had a good time. I will keep an eye out for the chronicle sheet.

I haven't gotten the free rpg day boon, either. Thanks for running this, GM!

Chronicles are here.

Thanks for running the game, Granta, and thanks all of you for this experience! I do apologise for the lack of magic weapons on my part. That will get remedied straight away so that I can further contribute in the future.

As for the sheets, got mine, so no worries there. I did have one question, however. I assume the +2 PP on the sheet is -before- the reduction for planetary adaptation, correct? So in total it is just +1?

Just making sure so that I am correct when calculating my total PP pool size.

Correct. You earned 2, spent 1.

Got it. Thanks again! Looking forward to future games with you folks.

This game is now reported!

Hmm

Thank you so much for an awesome game, all!
GM Granta, I apologize forr my spotty posting this last week, but once again you have pulled off a great game.

I look forward to playing with all of you in the future!

I will echo the others here and say thank you GM Granta. Loved it.

Checking in now that I finally have internet/time on this trip (much later than expected!!) to say thanks for a great game and for the botting at the end, all. Really enjoyed it!
