I will be away from good computer access this weekend starting tomorrow. Feel free to bot me as needed. I may be able to post, but can't guarantee it.

Advanced Warning: Tomorrow is both of my kids birthdays, so I probably won't be able to make a post. Also, Saturday is their birthday party, so I probably won't be able to post that day either.
Thanks!

They were born on the same day, a year apart?! That's cool.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our....oh, um.....HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

(Lovissa and I have another online game together; I've wished her kids a Happy Birthday in that other game already. There's the in-joke.)

My wife and I have birthdays 4 days (and 2 years) apart, so we always just have one big party on the nearest weekend. Generally involves overfilling our house with friends and lots of board games. Somehow I don't think I'll be getting away with that anymore.

Lovissa, you've indicated that you want to attack the Earl, a noble official and the leader of this town, prior to establishing any evidence of criminal doing or even attacking you directly.

I'm giving you a very clear warning: you are outsiders in this town. Attacking the leader of the town directly and publicly in front of a gathered population of the crowd WILL go very badly for you. You may, of course, act as you'd like to.

Fine.

Grand Lodge

The Mountain's Maw |

In this scene, you are publicly facing down a demagogue. There will be a series of accusations levelled at you, and you may respond to each one, though if you do so, you will be identified automatically as one of the Pathfinders. So far, only Lovissa and Lady Finley have been identified as such given the disguises of Marcus, Giovanni, and Badriyah.

You have sympathetic ears - your NPC allies - somewhere in the crowd, and you may refute each of the accusations (for example, about looting and pillaging the chandlery) as they come, and call upon your allies to vouch for you.

At the end of all of the accusations, one of you will make a Diplomacy, Perform (oratory), or Profession (barrister) check, heavily modified by your role-playing and the evidence that you've presented (along with what your NPCs say of you). Each person who speaks up may roll an Aid Another check (and you cannot 'Take 10' for an Aid Another check), though Diplomacy will likely be the only useful Aid Another action that you all will be able to take.

The DC for this final check is HIGH because the odds are not in your favour - you are trying to convince a patriotic crowd that their beloved leader is a criminal. Proceed as you will.

Grand Lodge

The Mountain's Maw |

The time for stealth to influence the people of Ridonport is over. Your choice is: speak up to affect the final argument roll at the end of this scene or remain hidden. One or the other. Badriyah and Giovanni, you need to choose which one you can do - you cannot do both. I don’t know how to be more clear.

What turn order should we take for these declarations? Should we take a sort of initiative order?

Grand Lodge

The Mountain's Maw |

Nah, no need. Declare away - it’ll be a nice convo mash-up.

When I can get some time behind a keyboard (not a phone) I plan to post a diatribe from Marcus. I'll fit it into whatever accusation is at hand, but no, Marcus will not remain coy about this.

I think I have the highest mod at +9 for diplomacy and can make the primary roll.

Happy to do it. DM, what form should our posts take? Have we said all we need to say and just need the roll?

You're going to be getting a healthy bonus from roleplaying like BEASTS. Once we hear from Lady Finley and Marcus, we'll allow the aid another rolls.

I'm good with Giovanni making the roll.

Grand Lodge

The Mountain's Maw |

We'll add up everything here so y'all can see how it flushed out:

The DC for the Diplomacy check was 30.

Giovanni got a 19 on his roll.

He received a +2 from Lady Finley, Marcus, Lovissa, and Badriyah as aid another actions.

That brings you to a 27.

You also got a +2 from:

  • successfully interacting with Earl Vernisant's painting at the museum
  • successfully influencing Cincia Reviamo
  • successfully influencing Rasvelg Coalbraid
  • successfully influencing Joleana Tantriano
  • successfully influencing Neffery Adimare

    You got a -2 penalty for tripping the alarm triggers at the chandlery. You got another -2 for fighting the guards and Rusmonya, but you didn't straight-up kill any of them (the enforcers both auto-stabilised) so you missed a further -4 penalty.

    You also got bonuses for:

  • presenting the ledger and sussing out the bribes used for the naval officers
  • declaring publicly that the pirates were formal naval officers
  • mentioning that Count Zespire was specifically targeted
  • role-playing your a$$$$ off

    That brings you to 41.

    Congrats!

  • Grand Lodge

    You are all stuck in difficult terrain. Each square counts as two for movement purposes, and you cannot run, charge, or take 5 foot steps (as free actions). As a full round action during the start of this combat, you each may attempt a check to affect the now-panicked throng. A success will prevent any nonlethal damage coming your way that round, and it may allow you to move unhindered through the crowd. An excellent success could help your colleagues as well, and you choose who you want to come through the crowd with you (remember that Joleana is in the thick of it just like you).

    Have fun!

    whew! i was worried about that roll. great job, everybody.

    Wait... this ability might be relevant??? What?

    Urban Barbarian has the following ability:
    Crowd Control (Ex): At 1st level, an urban barbarian gains a +1 bonus on attack rolls and a +1 dodge bonus to AC when adjacent to two or more enemies. In addition, her movement is not impeded by crowds, and she gains a bonus equal to 1/2 her barbarian level on Intimidate checks to influence crowds. This ability replaces fast movement.

    Would this help here?

    Grand Lodge

    The Mountain's Maw |

    It sure would! Marcus isn't impeded at all by the crowd. It's your choice, Marcus, if you'd like to use your other abilities to influence the crowd.

    Wow! Relevant archetype abilities in use!!!

    that is so awesome.

    Grand Lodge

    The Mountain's Maw |

    Ah, I see the confusion, Marcus, with my wording. My apologies. Nevertheless, you're stuck at the end of initiative order. I'll take your actions as posted when it comes to it.

    Just so I'm clear. I can take a full-round action now to quell the crowd and help my compatriots. I can also take a 5-ft step since Badriyah paved the way for me?

    Or is the are a sufficiently quelled and I should take full moves to the museum?

    Grand Lodge

    The Mountain's Maw |

    You can take the full round action to aid your friends to move through, but Badriyah has already quelled the crowd around you two enough to aid you with your moves. If you were to choose someone who has already moved this round (i.e. Lovissa), it'd take effect next round.

    Did we meet the Faction Journal goal of 'Recover blackmail or incriminating evidence against a named NPC aristocrat, noble, ambassador, or similar figure' via the dossier on Vernisant?

    Also, I don't believe I made my 'allegiance' to Lady Glorianna known to anyone other than Giovanni if I recall, so would that also qualify for 'Fullfill one of the goals above without revealing your faction affiliation to anyone other than a present or prospective member of the Sovereign Court.'

    Yes and yes.

    We're coming near to the end of this scenario. I have day job checks from Badriyah and Lady Finley already. If Lovissa, Marcus, and Giovanni wish to give me day job checks, please do so here.

    Also, Marcus, Giovanni, and Lady Finley - you've successfully completed the "retrieve incriminating evidence" faction goal for your characters if you'd like to make use of that particular goal. If not, let me know if there's an alternative goal you'd like to attempt. Lovissa and Badriyah - please let me know if you'd like to complete faction goals as well.

    I believe everyone who will be getting a chronicle sheet in this group is standard track. Correct me if I'm incorrect.

    Lovissa's got no day job.

    If we completed the secondary conditions of this mission, then Lovissa will be checking off this faction goal:
    "Complete at least three consecutive scenarios in which you completed both the primary and secondary success conditions. Sanctioned adventures that do not include secondary success conditions neither interrupt nor contribute to this goal."

    If we did not complete the secondary success conditions of this mission, then she will instead attempt this faction goal:
    "Forgo your Downtime to finalize a report to the Pathfinder Society. Doing so requires a successful DC 15 Intelligence, Wisdom, or Profession (scribe) check."
    Intelligence: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12 Which she will fail at, lol.

    Either way, she will also check off one of the boxes for this faction goal, as this is her first time in Taldor:
    "Adventure in a nation other than Absalom. You can receive credit for visiting a particular nation only once. Checking one of this goal’s boxes does not prevent you from checking one box for a different goal."

    And please, don't forget to fill out this for me! Thanks!

    @ Marcus and Lady Finlay: There were a total of eight charges used from our cure light wounds wands this scenario. That makes three charges from Lovissa's wand, three charges from Lady Finlay's wand, and two charges from Marcus' wand.

    I've sent off chronicles to those that I have email addresses for. Giovanni and Marcus, I don't have an email address for your two. Could you provide one, please?

    It's been a lot of fun, and now the War for the Crown has been well and truly sprung (along with 2nd edition)!

    I'll keep this thread open for a few more days before closing it. I hope all of your rolls are natural 20s.

    Hi, Thanks for an awesome game!

    My chronicle for this scenario's not loading properly. I emailed you back, but thought I'd let you know on here, as well. Full details in the email!

    P.S. I love the personal note on my chronicle!

    Grand Lodge

    The Mountain's Maw |

    Giovanni, I think the scenario rolls nicely into the adventure path, but no other scenarios that I know of. It would seem, Lovissa, that the problem with your chronicle sheet is similar for all of the files. Let me work on it and get back to you all.

    Cheers,
    Dink

    PS. Glad you like the personal note. It’s something to remember our game by.

    Ok... Baronet Marcus Vulpares Fantailler... this will totally not get to his head or anything. Since he had no day job, can I attempt a Nobility check for the first box?

    If allowed...
    Knowledge (Nobility): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19 Passes if allowed

    The downtime check must be done in front of your next GM. I can only wish you good luck with it.
