Nope. Finish him!!!!
Ok. So first, does my ally turn on me in the middle of the check.
Argh. He does. Stupid ally. So he's out. That means...
Do I get a 15?
I do! We win! (Wow, that d10 was really bad.)
I encounter the Demonling for kicks, informing him that he can't really do any damage to me and also that his master is now dead. I laugh as I tell him this, not because I'm smug or anything, but because I'm uncomfortable encountering him with no weapon and I hope that by laughing he'll feel dumb and go away.
That isn't an 11. I can't take damage, but I do get moved, not that it matters. The armory closes, but has no effect. We all travel back to town or whatever to regal the locals with tales of our bravery.
HUZZAH!!!!!
Okay, here is my loot, if anyone wants something:
Quednys Orlun (Ally 1)
Teamster (Ally B)
Cold Iron Longsword (Weapon 1)
Mongrel Ranger (Ally 1)
Shortbow (Weapon B)
Sickle (Weapon B)
Leather Armor (Armor B)
Magic Padded Armor (Armor B)
I'll probably take a 1 ally, but everything here is fair game.
Also, do you need my Pathfinder Society number or anything?
For the upgrade pool:
Armor B
Ally B
Ally B
Blessing B

Yay!!!
Merisiel shook her head. Lizards suddenly appearing out of nowhere, Cultists trying to use the power of the Minotaur Lord Baphomet... She efficiently disposed of them all. Heading back, it seems that both Heggal and Valeros had also dispatched their minions and disposed of the vile Tancred Desimire.
Well, at least the villagers are safe now. She burnt the Befouled Altar for good measure. And because she likes burning things.
Pool:
Ally B
Armor 1
Blessing B
Weapon B x3
I believe the reward is access to the Loot Scale of Disguise.

I'm fine choosing last for upgrades. isaic can take an ally 1 (since there are 2 of them) and then zeroth_hour can choose. I'll pick from what is left, as I've got 3 options I like.
If you let me know your PFS # + character #, I will endeavor to do things in the system. I'll warn in advance that it might take me a bit. That said, congratulations on a hard fought victory, and solid pile of treasure.
Looking at the handy-dandy Class Deck DeckList...
-I think Weapon 1 would be good for me (Acidic Whip +1, which will be a big improvement over the Dagger until the Weapon Proficiency comes online).
-Armor 1: Elven Chain Shirt is available at Armor 1 but is less important.
-Ally 1: Only the Archer would be worth considering here (Old Salt is great, but only in a later AD), maybe the Grizzled Merc. I don't like Grizzled Merc a huge amount.
-Blessing B: Erastil and Milani are nice, but they always discard in this AP and BotGs are important to copy stuff.
Okay, I think I'll take the Weapon 1 as that is the most improvement.
Thanks Hawkmoon and isaic16 for playing with me! And Keith for GMing!
I think I'll take armor 1 and take the Elven Chainshirt, though taking Ally 1 for the Squire is mighty tempting too.
Thanks for all the hard work Keith. You seemed to be around whenever we posted, no matter the time. That made it go smooth.
isaic16, zeroth_hour, thanks for playing and making it through this nail bitter. I felt for sure we were going to see victory slip away there in the middle, but we turned things around and made the rolls necessary. Great playing with you both.
Note: Hawkmoon, as you finished a second scenario in Tier 1, you get a Power Feat.
isaic, you and I get a Skill Feat. As I don't get a lot of fighting bonuses on S&S Merisiel, she's going to grab DEX +1 before anything else.
Cool. I think I'm leaning towards Surgeon for my Ally. Can't go wrong with that one, right?
As for skill, I think I'm leaning Wis, but could go Str, too. What do you guys think?
Surgeon's probably the best Ally of the 3, even though it's slightly redundant with your ability (but sometimes you just can't afford that explore)
Later on (AD3-4 or later), Social Climber is probably the best since even if it gets banished, you get to replace it with something else (possibly something with higher AD#).
I feel like I'm already good enough at acquiring Non-Animal allies that Social Climber is redundant at this point (though in a few adventures, his value certainly goes up). I like Surgeon because it can provide a small heal when we still need the explores, and it can provide a shuffle for only a recharge if someone ever needs it.
I'll go Wis for my skill feat. I think I'll need the better recharge.
Are we going to keep this going? Looking forward to the next one!
I'm torn between Hand Size increase and the upgrade to shuffle my weapons. The Hand Size would let me keep an ally around more easily, but the shuffle would help me get the things I recharge mixed back evenly. Drawing weapons at an even pace is key for Valeros I feel.
Are we going to keep this going? Looking forward to the next one!
I'm on vacation next week, then moving (then Gen Con then PAX), so I _probably_ shouldn't. But folks should definitely keep on playing somehow says me :)
And if you do ever need a player to round out a group, keep me in mind. It's not only fun for me to get to play more, it's also work/research. That's what I keep telling my wife, anyways. Love this job! ;)
Hand size for Valeros. You can get shuffles in other ways (healing is the most common one) but extra hand size is hard.
WIS is good for Heggal - boosts his Cure recharge to 80%. Another +1 boosts it to 90%
I'll probably demo at PAX so I hope to see you there (and get my signature collection finished).
I'm considering running one but I need to set up some helpers so that it doesn't get overwhelming.
