[PFS_CORE_Aerondor] 06-04 Beacon Below (Inactive)

Game Master Aerondor

This is a CORE game, please check, and then double check you are putting in a CORE character.

The intention is that this game will be followed by 09-7 Salvation of the Sages.

If you are currently in a game or expect to apply a GM chronicle before play, hold off putting in the information.

To make my life easier when it comes to filling in chronicles, if you could each put in a single post with:

Chronicle: What chronicle number this is for the character
History: What scenarios has the character completed? (or been credited with); any other chronicles (special boons etc)
Name:(the player) real name (as you have it appear on your chronicle sheets)
AKA: Character name
Faction: Your faction
PFS: # for the character
XP: starting XP, Note if Slow track!
Prestige: Starting prestige
Fame: Starting Fame
Gold: Starting wealth you bring into the adventure. This should be the total on your previous chronicle. If you want to buy any new stuff... see further on.
Day job: include the roll or that you don't have one. If you want to use a reroll at the end just note here you may want to use a reroll. If you don't include a roll I'll be assuming you take ten. Add the actual gold amount if you want to save me looking it up...
Spend: If you want to buy anything before the scenario starts (apart from your initial 150gp if you are a new character) include it here. This will appear in the "items bought" and/or "items sold" part of the chronicle.

Try to hold off actual discussion here until we have one post per character with those details (makes life easy for me to make the chronicles for you all at the end).

Please add an Icon for your character to the map. If you don't know how, let me know and I'll help. Also dot into the gameplay thread, or just hang around and RP there if you like

Hello!
I'm on trains non stop these days.
Should end tonight.
Will put info' up tomorrow, but it'll be Pyra (CORE Paladin of Sarenrae level 7 - have to check if her character sheet is up to date).
Thanks a lot for having me!

Skorn here. I hope to be joining with a pre-gen if the table goes low, and its looking like it will. What do we think we need? All things being equal I'd choose to play the druid as my core character is a druid, but I know it does not really matter. Happy to fill any roll. But please do not ask me to play Harsk. :)

Any use for a Druid 8?

Most of this is in my Character Sheet (which I just checked, and was already up to date)

Name: Eric Collins

AKA: Pyra

Faction: Silver Crusade

PFS: 101218-9

XP: 20 (normal)

Prestige: 28

Fame: 34

Gold: 1972.4

Day job: none

So we have a Pally, a Druid, a Sorcerer and an unknown. I'll wait for the 4th person to check in before choosing my class. Might need a rogue...???

Chronicle: #19
History:

Irizati adds a +3 circumstance bonus to everyone's day job rolls.

@Skorn With all this melee how about a Bard? I think we are short on knowledges as well.

Thinking bard or rogue. Waiting to see what our other player brings in.

Dotting in.

Ilmakis' here.

I have my cleric (must be updated)

Ok so Bard or Rogue?

We have one Arcane and three divine casters. Not sure we need another caster. Leaning towards rogue but would be happy with the bard too.

Bard has no Disable Device skill. 27 rounds of Bardic Performance and +2 Inspire Courage. He is a decent face (Bluff +16, Diplo +15, Sense Motive +10) but for knowledges he only has Arcana and Nobility, both at +15. Decent spells but he is NOT gonna do damage. Wand of Cure light (24 charges).

Rogue has +17 Disable Device and +10 knowledge Local. High crit keen rapier for 1d6+3+4d5 sneak. +15 stealth. AC 23 which is not bad.

Thoughts?

"Content in “Beacon Below” also contributes directly to the ongoing storylines of the Dark Archive and Scarab Sages factions."

I think we want knowledges. Wizard maybe?

Hmm. Wizard pregen is pretty lame. Would rather go bard, who can roll any knowledge check and once a day take 20. Ezren is +15 in Arcana, History, Nature, and Planes. That's it. His gear is sub-par imho too. +1 cane and 10K in AC items.

Bard could be the best face too, I think.

I am about to create an alias for Lem, the Bard Pre-gen unless I get a strong recommendation to go another way. This will leave us without someone to handle traps though...

Lem reporting for duty. Unsure how much of your character requested info is relevant for an iconic.

I'll need the details for the character that you will be applying the credit to. So probably just the PFS number, name and faction.

So we have
Jair - Cleric 7 (
Lem - pregen bard 7
Numair sorcerer 7
Pyra - paladin 7
Irizati - druid 8

I think that is everyone. I'll do a last call in flaxseed, but feel free to head over to gameplay now everyone.

What's the subtier? I have a level 6 Monk/Fighter available. If that's too low, I can bring in a Core Rogue.

We have no rogue...

Subtier is 7-8 I'm happy for a level 9 as well. In fact, I think even if you were 11th that wouldn't pull us up to high tier - so play what you would like.

I could join if needed.

Level 8 monk.

I would sub in my Ranger 10 but he has a game scheduled for March 5th.

I have played this in classic but it isn't sounding familiar yet. The intro makes it sound like a dungeon crawl which would be awkward with a large tiger in the party.

I also have a monk 7 but it would be a step down in power.

Speaking of, Irizati is wearing Wild full plate so has decent AC as an animal. He also has augment summons if we need an extra body on the field.

Doubtful and chadius can Roshambo for the last spot. :)

Doubtful is pretty good. Plus he will warn you if your thread is inactive. ;)
That level 6 is my highest character, so I'd have to go with a pregen.

I'll let Doubtful take the spot. Enjoy!

Yeah for Doubtful!

About Endure Elements.

Locally we have a simple system.
If someone has a wand with plenty of charges they have it covered. It comes up rarely enough that 1 wand is usually enough.
If no one has a wand then we usually roll off and low roll spends the 2 PP then shares it.

Just checked and Lem doesn't have a wand of it.

Alternatively we can just burn spell slots for it. Irizati pretty much needs 1 slot for extended Longstrider but can use the other 4 to cover himself, Baloo, and 2 others.

"I have travelled to the North of the world, and been inducted through secret rituals: I can endure elements of extreme cold on my own!", says Pyra proudly.

Lem also has no PP to spend and cannot change his spells. All his gold, all 42 gp of it, can be donated to that cause though. :)

Alternatively, that will buy him one scroll of Endure Elements if needed.

I have PP so can buy the wand if needed. Just want to know how we want to deal with the heat

Chronicle: 18

Chronicle: Unsure as I do not know when I will apply it.
History: None as this is an iconic
AKA: Lem (Stormy)
Faction: Stormy's faction is DA Unsure if the iconis has a faction
PFS: 3387-15
XP: Not slow track - Should have 18 exp when this can be applied?
Prestige: Starting prestige ???
Fame: Starting Fame ???
Gold: ???
Day job: ??? Not sure I get one. Can I use the Bard's perform? ;)
Spend: NA

The rules on pregens have been updated. Your faction is the same as the character you are applying credit to. And pregens can roll day jobs if they have a skill to do so. Lem does with Perform, Don't forget the +3 bonus.

But you do have to pick which character you will apply it to now, unfortunately, that is one of the changes from season 8.

Ok. Those are some good changes. And since I only have one core character applying to that character is no problem. Irizati if you are referring to the +3 Inspire Competence bonus I fear that unless there is errata I do not know of, I cannot benefit from that. Here is the rule:

Inspire Competence:
A bard of 3rd level or higher can use his performance to help an ally succeed at a task. The ally must be within 30 feet and able to see and hear the bard. The ally gets a +2 competence bonus on skill checks with a particular skill as long as she continues to hear the bard’s performance. This bonus increases by +1 for every four levels the bard has attained beyond 3rd (+3 at 7th, +4 at 11th, +5 at 15th, and +6 at 19th).

Certain uses of this ability are infeasible, such as Stealth, and may be disallowed at the GM’s discretion. A bard can’t inspire competence in himself. inspire competence relies on audible components.

@Lem: No, he is referring to the fact that he grants people a +3 bonus on Day Job checks ;-)

As a high ranking member of The Exchange faction Irizati has connections.
Other party members at the table gain a +3 circumstantial bonus to Day Job rolls.

If you get a 45 or higher you earn 200 gold instead of the usual 150 cap. I don't expect to see that happen in Core though.

Sweet. :)

A nat 20 with a GM reroll would be exactly 45 for Lem.

Wow, it doesn't look like any of you have done Destiny of the Sands. Oh well.

Unfortunately, the only character that have play it is only 3d...

Well, apart from me, right? Numair has done all three parts...

Ahh, you didn't give me the history section of the post.

Sorry - a complete list of chronicles is included as a spoiler on Numair's character sheet, if that helps :-)

Traveling today. Can post tomorrow.

So these are the current buffs from Irizati

Irizati: Longstrider, Greater Magic Fang, Barkskin
Baloo: Greater Magic Fang, Barkskin, Reduce Animal
Doubtful: Barkskin

I need to adjust Baloo's stats for reduced but the main changes are +2 AC and reduced dmg.

Name: Florent
AKA: Jaïr
Faction: Dark Archive
PFS: 754-27
XP: 18
Prestige: 28
Fame: 34
Gold: 13,345gp
Day job: Librarian: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

Irizati, I find a really good buff for a druid to throw out is communal Delay Poison: in case you have never considered it...

unfortunately, communal spells aren't CORE...

Ah, That makes total sense. Rats.

Fun dancing mini'!

Moving this here...

Lem, the fog goes all the way to the edge of the room we were just in (You can see the greyish area underneath us)
Everyone is standing in it, at present, with Lem and Jair on the edge.

Now, whether the fire elemental would burn off the fog... that's a different question. =)
If its like obscuring mist, then possibly, since a fireball would!
If its like fog cloud, then probably not, as a fireball wouldn't.

Really, this is going to be sucky if the guards and wards has put this stuff everywhere!

OK. That is what I was asking. Thanks! That also means few can see the creatures causing the will save yet. Still need to know one will save or 2 if you can see both.

Note Guards and Wards specifies Magical Fog. Nothing further.

You have to see it to require a save.

Why Doubtful has to make two (he sees both) and Numair just one (he only sees one)
