GM Lithrac |
Here is the discussion thread. Thanks for having me, I'm looking forward to GM this adventure for you!
A few words about me. I'm GM Lithrac, I've been GMing D&D 3.0, 3.5, then Pathfinder for around fifteen years, including successful campaigns going up to 20th level. I've started playing and GMing PbP games about a year ago, and during this time I've successfully ran more than 20 games (PFS scenarios mostly) on these boards, and I'm currently GMing five PFS scenarios, one AP volume (Snows of Summer) and one AP (Shattered Star). I'm a frequent poster (usually at least once a day, usually more than that), and tend to run fast-paced games. My expectations are for you to post on a regular basis (once a day is the minimun, especially during fights, and I expect a lot of those for that particular AP installment), courteous exchanges, and this scenario to be run for PFS credit, of course.
I understand the party is currently made of four: Avoreal (Wizard 17), Vars (Fighter 17), Duhwoo (Bard 15/Bard 2) and Vuvu (Bard 17). We'll try and recruit some people to fill the group (preferably one healer), but I can't promise anything since finding a PFS-legal level 15-17 character is going to be very tough.
In the meantime, I'll do some preparations and will need you to post your PFS number, faction, Initiative and Perception score, please. I'll only roll these two things in your stead, and Perception only in regard to being surprised in combat. I may occasionally roll something for you in order to preserve a good pace, but it will be the exception and not the rule.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
Vars Stanic |
Howdy. Vars is the Taldan nobleman tank. He specializes in situational ethics and pranking Duhwoo.
PFS 8845-1
Grand Lodge
Init +8
Perception +29
I should probably note up front that I do have a clear spindle ioun stone in my wayfinder, so I am immune to control by evil creatures (dominate, charm, etc.) My other ioun stones are all imbedded in me. He also wears glamoured armor so it never looks all that fancy when normally traveling.
Avoreal Starseeker |
V.C. Starseeker checking in! Great to have you on this one Lithrac! I appreciate you stepping in for us. Hopefully the favor can be returned someday.
PFS #45225-3
The Exchange
Init +10 normally
Perc +23/+25 with Heroism, which is always up.
Avoreal is a Transmutation specialist, but carries a wide variety of spells.. Socially she's the standard elf a%!~&!+, but has warmed up to the group having traveled with them for quite some time now.. She has a soft spot for Duhwoo as well.
When you get a chance would you mind opening the gameplay for dotting and place keeping plz?
Edit again: She also has a clear spindle in her wayfinder.. I think all of us do.
VC Vuvu Zuella |
Just a quick post to dot. Off to work but I am the bars I'll get the right sheet on my google drive

Trotter Flaxseed |
Hey everyone! I'm just checking in. Trotter will actually be level 17 next week after I finish GMing The Moonscar so I'll wait to post his stats until I get him updated as they'll likely change. Also I'm on a work trip and about to head out...
VC Vuvu Zuella |
sheet updated
Init +4 PErcep +20
main thing to note is that I now have a ring of invisibility so once we get moving I will default to invisible.
Also I have spell song, and a silent metamagic rod which can let me get off a stealth casting of GEAS if we hav 10 minutes
Avoreal Starseeker |
Casts Extended Time Stop via Greater Extend Rod.
1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 x2 = 8 rounds of Time Stop..
Is flying up and taking a dump on the BBEG's head an acceptable action under Time Stops wording? Is that considered offensive? LOL..
Devin, the Mortician |
Yarrr.
Pirate Rob here. Just got up after being away for the weekend for a con. I'll try and have my alias all set up by tonight, although there is some possibility it won't be ready until tomorrow.
PFS # 15001-2
Liberty's Edge
Initiative +0
Perception +39 (extra +1 when determining surprise)
Trotter Flaxseed |
Trotter is updated on my computer, but I have about 100 k go to spend and I'll be on a plane for the rest of the day. Should have him updated tomorrow though.
Trotter Flaxseed |
I don't know, when I ran this for my home group they were the appropriate level the whole time and I killed two characters and an AC during this book I think. But one of those was he magus who got breath-of-life'd every other fight so it doesn't really count.
Devin, the Mortician |
It will set the bonus on the armor/weapon to +3
so if you have a +2 holy undead bane disruption warhammer or whatever,
it'll become a +3 holy undead bane disruption warhammer.
If it's a +3 longsword, my spell will have no effect.
or in a more personal example"
My Adamantine Fullplate becomes Adamantine Full Plate +3 and my Darkwood Tower shield of Moderate Fortification +1 becaomes a Darkwood Tower shield of Moderate Fortification +3
---
Also I used HeroLab to type up my character, working on my wand/scroll collection, and various boons, should have that up tomorrow.
Trotter Flaxseed |
Ok, Trotter is updated and ready to go! I'll get his header fixed momentarily.
#55162-10
Grand Lodge
Init +4
Perc +37 (+2 against traps)
Also, +3 to Trotter's skills and saves when luck is activated, which is mostly during combat. I will invariably forget to add it to skills and saves though, although I usually remember for attacks and damage.
Avoreal Starseeker |
Im good on armor/weapon bonuses, however I would appreciate you casting a Heal spell in conjunction with my Contingency spell?
Setting it to activate at 1/5th hps, or if disabled/unconscious with the
command word-Heal..
Trotter Flaxseed |
Trotter's armor and buckler are already +4. His pistol is only +1 but he's probably not the main damage dealer anyways. And going against touch he'll rarely miss anyways once luck is going.
Duhwoo X. McKeener |
Duhwoo's falchion is already +3. His armor is +2, but that is only incidental (he just likes the bonus charge damage): Duhwoo does not care about armor class, it does not contribute to his defense.
Opens up those buff slots for something else!
Devin, the Mortician |
Alright, doing fun things with the extra slots :)
I am under the impression that contingency requires the caster to cast the spell that will be part of the contingency.
If that is incorrect I am happy to provide a CL 15 heal.
Other than that I should be ready to go.
Avoreal Starseeker |
After looking into it i've found nothing that states you cant have someone cast the companion spell for you, and i have the required 18th caster level to accept the heal spell into my contingency.
The wording says "place" another spell, not cast it so to me that implies someone else cast the spell.
Avoreal Starseeker |
Also would you mind picking up a communal resist energy or 2 and perhaps a communal pro energy.. I normally get these, but it would allows me to get more offense if you could get them.
Im also rather jealous of your Kimono.. I never ran Jade Regent so didn't have access to it.. The +4 caster level is redic..
Trotter Flaxseed |
I really need to find a better system to track all of my boons and whatnot.
Avoreal Starseeker |
Right, but it lasts 18days so we could get it going before we head out. Unless its a gogo mission and in that case ill burn the slot of the day.
Duhwoo X. McKeener |
note that Duhwoo keeps a Scholar's Ring in his pocket -- whenever he encounters a language he doesn't understand, he quickly swaps out his Ring o' Blinkin' for the Scholar's Ring for a few minutes. Thus, he might have understood the last bit of Russian, before the norn switched to a language we can all understand!
SR 29 sounds like something Duhwoo could use! He already has a bit of his own DR/-(although it's only DR3 instead of DR5...), and has proven overly susceptible to spells of late...
Devin, the Mortician |
Well, lets say you encounter a powerful spellcaster or demon or some such with a caster level of 20.
SR 29 means they would need a 9+ on a d20 to effect you with spells, meaning that 40% of the time, you take no effect.
However it also means that if I try and cast heal on you during combat etc, that you'll have the same problem.
