[PFS] GM Fez's Carrion Hill Gameday VI (Inactive)

Game Master Nathan Hartshorn

Discussion thread where the majority of the mustering will occur. This will be a first come first serve basis. Remember modules assume a level is gained in the middle of it, which doesn't happen in PFS, so a party of level 4s will have issues, while a party of level 6s may have too easy of a time.

I have 9 non-locked characters currently in the level 4-6 range. I should have something to supplement most parties. Looking to see what other interest this gets and what party needs are.

PFS ID#: 66548-24
Character: Aloysius Pendergast (though he prefers "Inspector" or "Inspector Pendergast")
Player: Eric Bennett (aka "Nefreet")
Faction: Dark Archive
Class/Level: Investigator (Empiricist) 5
XP Track: Normal
Day Job: Craft Alchemy: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24 (not including the +2 for being an Investigator; some GMs disallow it)
Special Rules:

• As an Empiricist he uses Intelligence for Disable Device, Perception, Sense Motive, UMD and Diplomacy checks made to gather information.
• He has the Orator feat, so he uses Linguistics in place of most Diplomacy, Intimidate, and Bluff checks.
• He adds 1d6+1 to all Diplomacy, Heal, Knowledge, Linguistics, Perception, Profession, Sense Motive and Spellcraft checks.
• He can find and disable magical traps, and he has Trap Spotter.

Updating his profile now; haven't really done so since Level 2. He is *not* a combatant, Lol, so hopefully we have some good frontliners or damage dealers.

Meant to say this earlier, welcome aboard guys. Only a little more than a month before we can start!

So long as we get one more player. Lol.

I've got skills and party face covered. Would be nice to have a Damage Dealer, a Controller, and I guess Kyra.

Well if you need a frontliner, I've got ssomeone fun who'll be ready in a month!

Player: Cwethan
Character: Narayan Singh
PFS #: 182453-2
Faction: Silver Crusade
Day Job: (To be posted once his current adventure finishes and he levels to 5 - still gotta decide how to spend those 3 piddling skill points lol)

Special Rules:
Pretty standard Unchained Monk except that he uses Charisma instead of Wisdom for just about everything.

Nice! Never heard of that Archetype until now. Makes me want to build one myself, but multiclass it with Paladin of Apsu.

Looks like Monk and Investigator thus far? I'm leaning storyteller medium or magus kapenia dancer to fit the themes and try to compliment some. (I have a number of other options, but thinking about it, I'm going to throw out blood kineticist and blind priest as options, due to the likelihood of bloodless and incorporeal enemies in what I assume is an undead heavy adventure.)

One month remains...Welcome Narayan.

Once we start I have an Augury I can use. I was thinking of asking whether the "Carrion Hill Horror" is Undead (just to be sure).

I could bring Kyra as a pregen.

Depending on our DPR, Oloch might be better than Kyra, too.

Our DPR is better than I expected. Before peeking at the profile, I expected Pendergast to be 7 str.

Welcome Tundran.

This is Thrawn

Player: Robert Thomson
Character: Esmerelda Balcescu
PFS #: 106968-72
Faction: Liberty's Edge
Day Job: Perform(sing): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24

Esmerelda is a Medium(Storyteller), so she has bard song (courage +2). I can switch spirits, but I'm thinking I'll generally go mage in this group so far.

Lol he's a half pound away from being encumbered. He's technically encumbered for the brief moment when he pulls out an alchemical weapon from his Handy Haversack. There's no way I could drop his Strength any lower than 10.

He's not really a combatant. He's got HP 33 and AC 17. His rapier is more of a last resort, or to provide flanks, or to hand off to other frontliners who don't have Adamantine. When an enemy is at 1hp, you can count on him ^^.

Though he can throw a mean Hybridized 4d6 alchemical weapon =).

I am happy to bring Ronin along if there is a slot.

Player: Sethran
Character Name: Ronin
Number: 34762-1
Faction: Grand Lodge

Ronin is a fairly Standard Sword and Shield Warrior, Samurai Four Ranger 2, focused against evil-outsiders.

Yep, welcome aboard Ronin. We have 5 slots filled now, can take 1 more person.

Count me in as interested in the last slot! Sorting through which PFS character to bring right now.

Welcome wakedown.

So far we've got:
Inspector Pendergast - Investigator 5
Narayan Singh - Scaled Fist Monk 5
Kyra (Tundran) - Cleric 4
Esmerelda Balcescu - Medium 5
Ronin - Samurai 4/Ranger 2

I'll update the recruitment page to say any more people will be formed as a new table.

I would be very happy to play if you have a new table running...

I would play:
101218-5
Parrym
Dark Archive
Cleric (Herald Caller) of Ketephys, level 4
Normal XP track

As a Herald Caller, Parrym can summon powerful envoys of her god Ketephys (Augmented Summoning) and rides her eagle companion, Meneldor (medium sized Roc)

Good gaming all!

Hi, I am relatively new to play by post-I joined some DMs homebrew-one guy never showed up and a couple of the players lives got in the way where they didn't post for two weeks and the DM stopped posting anything (I believe out of frustration) I don't want to take anyone else's spot, but if one opens up on a new table, I would be interested in playing. I don't think any of my current characters would qualify as they are for either homebrew campaigns or gestalt applications. I haven't ever played in organized play, but I would make a character to fill out a party to get my foot in the door for organized play-especially if it means I could use them at a Paizo convention, on the chance I attend one in the future-not sure if it works that way...
I have been playing DnD and Pathfinder with a home group for 20+ years, and I am not as incredibly bland as this post makes me seem...just relatively new to all of this.

New guys are always welcome. So right now we have Eric and Tiberion on a new table, I'll be posting more regularly in the recruitment tab to keep it floating near the top of the boards to get a second table going.

Tiberion - Have you given the PFS Guide a read-through? What you need to know about this module is that it is for 4th-6th level PCs and will need a character played through those levels if you want to use your own character. If that's not possible then you can use one of the level 4 pregens to get in the game, though you'll be on the low end of power. I encourage you to ask any questions you may have and I'll do my best to answer them. Welcome to PFS!

cool, once I choose a character, is there an optimum way to move them to this format?

Creating an alias specifically for Pregen play is what I would recommend (like this one).

That way if you play with a different Pregen in the future you can just adapt the profile.

If a second table gets enough to start, I'm thinking about playing the Barbarian PreGen, been awhile since I played a front-liner.

Is there still room available on the second table? Would love to join.

Welcome qwerty, yep still room. We've got 3 players for table 2 now.

Since we have time, do we want to do any mixing and matching and party balancing to make both tables successful, or is the plan to go in order of signups with first people in table 1 and later people in table 2?

Many thanks GM Fez, i would like to play either my lvl 5 urban skald or a lvl 5 gunslinger.

Nice! Seems like a 2nd table will happen... great!

I obviously do not mind what table I join, as per the DM's wishes.

Reminder for table balance if needed:

101218-5
Parrym
Dark Archive
Cleric (Herald Caller) of Ketephys, level 4
Normal XP track

As a Herald Caller, Parrym can summon powerful envoys of her god Ketephys (Augmented Summoning) and rides her eagle companion, Meneldor (medium sized Roc)
I mainly heal/help/buff in combat and use Summons for the offense
Some Diplomacy (and 18 CHA)

With 9 people I'd like to scatter the level 4s apart if possible to make sure the challenge isn't too overwhelming.

Hello GM Fez, thank you for the opportunity, This is Tiberion Kir'Jhan's pregen Barbarian

I missed my intended call yesterday, 19 days before we begin!

I may have a slow start. I'll be at PacifiCon for Labor Day weekend running Starfinder. I'll try to manage one post a day for those 4 days, but the Inspector may have to be more contemplative rather than verbose.

A quick update for party balance purposes, Narayan will in fact likely be level 6 by our start time.

I'd love to play if we end up with another table!
# 14232-6
Imhakaru
A jovial and lively man, he seeks to being life and redemption to those who can take it, but has a particular hatred of undead.
level 2 dawnflower dervish / level 2 undead scourge.

Welcome aboard Imhakaru! We've got 10 people now, so two tables of 5 is doable.

So we have:

6-Ronin (striker-melee)
6-Monk (striker-melee)

5-Investigator (skills)
5-Medium (support)
5-Skald or 5-Gunslinger

4-Cleric (summoner)
4-Cleric (pregen-healer)
4-Barbarian (pregen-melee)
4-Paladin (striker-melee)

?-wakedown

Seems like good potential for two balanced parties. Curious that there's no arcane casters, yet (except for possibly the Skald).

That's a good rundown. 15 days before we start!

I will play a pre-gen sorcerer instead of the barbarian if it's necessary-depending on if it's needed or preferred by the party/table...I can go either way, as I am bi-roleplayual

10 days to go. At 5 I'll open up the thread for the second table, so I figure we can talk the two party comps now. Can we get final totals on level and what you'll actually be playing for those of you that haven't decided yet?

reminder to help party composition:
Ketephys - 4th level cleric (Herald Caller)
Support character (rather useless in combat) - can heal, summon...

Still Ronin here. Samurai tankish/striker

I think we're just waiting on wakedown.

The timing was pretty good on this, my level 6 cleric just finished up Cosmic Captive.

I also have a level 5 druid, but I think I'd rather run with the cleric since he'd be a more entertaining roleplay option for the theme of this one.

So three 6s, three 5s and four 4s.

Parties would probably be 6/6/5/4/Pregen and 6/5/5/4/Pregen

i would like to hop in on the second table I have a few in that range depending on party play.

Welcome aboard. So we'll have a table of 5 and a table of 6.

What I'm thinking:
Table 1
Wakedown
Ronin
Pendergast
DM Snider
Tundran

Table 2
Narayan
Esmerelda
Pendergast
Imhakaru
Parrym
Voodoo Barbarian

Thoughts? Concerns?

Hello all fellow players, and thank you GM Fez!

I am fine with the table I am on (as Parrym).

Very happy you are taking the time and effort to run two!
