[PFS] GM Lithrac's The Confirmation - Table B (Inactive)

Game Master Cyril Corbaz

This is the discussion thread, for all matter of OOC talk, rulings, tactics, and so on.

All Table B players report here with your PFS number, please.

Rhanloi reporting as ordered. 83583-1 Perfect timing as I just wrapped up Silent Tide with him!

Thanks GM Lithrac! I'll have equipment and spells finalized within a few hours.

PFS #85794-5

PFS# 20255-6

Reporting. PFS# 73135-3

I do need to finish a couple gear purchases and address how ammo works in PFS. I am not sure I can create my own rounds or not.

While I'm far from being an authority on gunslinger rules, here are a couple threads containing the information you seek:

Gunslinger PFS FAQ

Gunslinger PFS starting ammo

Hope it helps!

Coolness.

Dagon, your PFS# is 114822-3, correct?

Tai-Shan, what is your PFS# please?

Wilem, could you please post your important information (hp, ac, saves, etc.) in the class/level information of your profile please? You can look at how the others have done it, copy/paste and adapt the numbers to fit Wilem's stats. It would be most helpful to make everybody's life easier.

Thanks in advance! Now, onwards with the game.

Just a quick note for everyone, I tend to let people roll freely (knowledges, perception, diplomacy) except for initiative and pre-fight (surprise) perception rolls. I've listed them for the whole group in the "Campaign Info" tab, please check your scores and make sure I got it right.

sry my PFS# is 115964-2

Dagon reporting! PFS #114822-3 I think I somehow got my personal alias signed in as a character and don't know how to fix it?

on the perception rolls for me. it should be +2

Help! I somehow got my main alias listed and as a character and accidently posted as me. How do I get rid of them?

It happens if you forget to post as your character. Don't worry about it, just edit your post to change the character which you post with and you'll be fine.

Thanks

i am sorry for the delay. my family had control of the computer so i was tight for time and no one belived me about how urgent this was so, again i apoligize for the delay.

also, how do i switch my default alias to Tai-shan so i dont have to switch it everytime.

see i forgot again and it is getting really annoying.

I believe you can change the default profile in your "master profile", accessible by clicking on your blue name at the topmost of the screen ("Welcome XXXXX!").

still cant figure it out but oh well i'll just have to remember to switch it.

nvm i just now figured it out. right next to where you change the aliases it asks you to make it default. wow i feal stupid right now.

Kryssa, it's a great idea to put the link to your journal in your header, but is it intended that the access is restricted?

is the encounter map for us one or two

nvm

I'm trying to post my knowledge arcana role but I'm not sure how the code works. I type parentheses with dice in them then the skill used, 1d20 then...?

Use this but remove the spaces:
[ dice = Kn(Arcana) ] 1d20 + 5 [ /dice ]

It will look like this when you hit preview of submit post:
Kn(Arcana): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Kryssa, it's a great idea to put the link to your journal in your header, but is it intended that the access is restricted?

Doh! I just duplicated the document. I didn't even think about the share settings.

Thanks Rhanloi.

I believe I rolled a crit? Should I make a second attack roll?

I've added arrows on the map to clarify where the two side caverns are.

Hey guys, I think we need to establish our marching order so that outside of surprise round the fast characters can skirmish then fall in behind the heavy hitters.

For example, on this round if I had been at the front of the stack I could have fired against the touch AC of flat-footed opponents (since all combats start that way till you have acted) then moved to the rear and then fired again when the monsters engaged Kyrssa. Same is true of our monk.

I suggest the following stack:
R K TS
T D Wxxx
Tai-Shan will be our lead man as traps and such are least likely to catch him and the ten yard lead will keep the rest safe. I will provide an ability reach out and touch someone one either side and am stealthy enough to support him in a sneak attack. The heavies take positions front and rear so the getting jumped will not be an issue. And or magic will be balanced by the casters being protected by all of us.

Also, remember you can delay to allow a better suited member of the party to act before you. Bards and buffers/debuffers really benefit from this and as such so do the rest of us.

Thoughts?

I have no problem appointing Willem as leader for all things combat. Unless someone else's character would object?

I agree. Talwin can fight, but he's not used to group tactics and would gladly follow the lead of others. Personally, I think Willem's idea is sound.

I'll likely spend a round or two casting spells at first in most situations, unless we are facing a relatively small number of weaker-seeming enemies. (Like the first fight). I really don't have many spells at 1st level.

When it comes time for me to attack, I prefer to use my reach weapon with my combat reflexes. Might be hard to utilize in tighter quarters, but we'll see. It's my first attempt at a reach warrior.

I prefer to cast then fight also.

i agree with wilem. he seems to understand tactics well beyond my level of understanding.

Hahaha, comes from being a retired Army sergeant and military history buff, tai-shan, lol.

I suggest the following stack:

R K TS
T D Wxxx
Thoughts?

I understand and concur with your reasoning, but I don't understand the stack you used...did the formatting get messed up? Is the single marching order like this:

Yeah,the formatting refused to cooperate. It should be staggered with Tai-Shan out front 10-15 feet. I would space everyone out further,but given the that this is a grid based game, it is too cumbersome.

Do either of you magicusers have Create Pit, Grease, and Color Spray in your book? I will pick up some flash rounds and a thunderstone or two after I get some cash. As tightly packed as this combat is, it would be wise to Grease the mouth of the funnel giving Kyrssa and Talwin prone targets to work.

I suggest everyone carry a crossbow loaded and readied. Fire in surprise rounds or at stand off distance then move to engage,drawing your weapon as a free action as part of that move. Long spear for Dagon, I think it is a simple weapon?

Yep, long spear for Dagon. The plan is to Enlarge myself and be able to attack from 10 feet away

Be careful with enlarge. It makes you easier to hit. AC 12 is not so hot at level one or two.

I forgot to mention the first part of the plan which is to cast Shield.

Draw weapon is only a free action if you have a BAB of +1 or more...of course, I will try to stay out of melee combat so won't need to draw another weapon =)

Draw weapon is only a free action if you have a BAB of +1 or more...of course, I will try to stay out of melee combat so won't need to draw another weapon =)

It is not. You may draw it freely as part of a move action if you have a BAB of +1 or higher however. But for instance you can't draw and full-attack.

By the way, I'll override my own rule of delaying someone's action is the person doesn't post within 24 hours as Christmas time is usually slow and we aren't in a hurry anyway.

Yeah, I thought I'd have internet while traveling for the holidays, but the weather knocked out the internet where we were staying.

Sorry about any delays I might have caused.

Also, I'm fine with being in the middle of the group. I have a crazy move and can just plow through if anything happens.

If all works as hoped, we will soften the threat then move back to work in support of your whirling flail of death. By the time they reach you and Talwin we hope to have shot them with bolts and bullets, hit them with magic, and then have them fall at your feet in one shots by you and the inquisitor.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Indeed.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone, even if I'm a bit late!

I decided to move ahead to take advantage of a unique tactical opportunity presented by the present terrain. From my current position, neither ooze can advance to attack me without provoking an AOO. With Combat Reflexes, I get a chance to hit both before they can even get to me.

That said, if Kryssa wants to advance and say, smash the one to the south, that would still be sound. And Willem can still shoot over my shoulder, taking the -4 cover penalty but still targeting touch AC. But really, if these are oozes, their AC really is not going to be an issue.

I thought the acid in acid splash lasted a round after hitting its target? Did I read it wrong?
