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.

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 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.

I've opened the Gameplay thread so that you can dot it.

I've also posted a thread in the recruitment forum, and posted in the Flaxseed Lodge. If you know other places to look for PbP PFS players, by all means let me know and I'll post there.

Since we're going to try to recruit, I imagine my being a bit iffy on posts due to a trip till Wednesday shouldn't be an issue.

Grand Lodge

Actually, I've found two people already.

Pirate Rob will play a level 15 Cleric of Sarenrae.

EndlessForms will play Trotter Flaxseed, an Archaeologist Bard 15/ Mysterious Stranger Gunslinger 1 (level 16 total).

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...

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

I'll wait a couple of days to start so that Trotter can be one level higher and Pirate Rob can join us.

So we're just waiting on Pirate Rob right?

Yes, and on EF (he's getting one more level for Trotter in a VTT game that finished tomorrow). I'll send a PM to Pirate Rob to check if he's still on board.

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..

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.

What is Pirate Rob?

I believe he's a level 15 gnome cleric of Sarenrae.

Should be a pretty stout group..

Not to mention that the tier is 15-17, so with five level 17 and one level 15, you should be fine.

Who has weapons they would like enchanted to +3 with Greater Magic Weapon?

Who has armor they would like enchanted to +3 with

Grand Lodge

Trotter Male Halfling Venture-Captain 19

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.


Unnamed

does it stack with other buffs?

Liberty's Edge

HP 216/216 | AC 31 T11 FF 31 CMD 18 20% Miss Chance | F+21 R+9 W+21; Init +0 | Perception +40 Low-Light

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.

Grand Lodge

I actually read "Darkwood Tower shield of Moderate Mortification +1"! That sounded like a very appropriate item for a Mortician.

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.

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 Male Halfling Venture-Captain 19

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'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!

Vars already has +5 armor, +5 shield and +5 weapon (in terms of numerical bonus, not abilities). Nice of you to offer however.

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.

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.

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..

Only on caster level checks, not actual caster level.

So it'll only help with SR and dispel magic etc.

Speaking of things, I noticed you have the Favored of the Ten boon listed as giving 2 extra prestige every scenario. Unfortunately that's not the case. It's only a 1 time bonus :(

I only used it once. Dunno why i had it listed as such. Thanks for pointing it out though.

Trotter Male Halfling Venture-Captain 19

I really need to find a better system to track all of my boons and whatnot.

Grand Lodge

As for the Contingency, it requires to actually "spend" the spell you place when you cast contigency. It's what is meant by "place". In that case, Avoreal would cast contingency, Devin would cast heal, thus placing it in the contingency. At least that's my ruling of it.

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.

Under the circumstances sure, but keep in mind how it works for later, because the circumstances might not be the same. Anyway, I was just explaining how it works.

Devin starts each morning with an ant haul and 2 extended magic vestments on himself. Each lasting 30 hours.

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...


Unnamed

well is SR 29 worthwhile at this level?

Liberty's Edge

HP 216/216 | AC 31 T11 FF 31 CMD 18 20% Miss Chance | F+21 R+9 W+21; Init +0 | Perception +40 Low-Light

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.
