[PFS] GM Rinaldo's The Golemworks Incident (4-03) (Inactive)

Game Master The Great Rinaldo!

With the current signups, we are at APL 6.5. Because of the special "exactly .5 rule", you have the choice: Do you want to play the 5-6 tier with no adjustment, or the 8-9 tier with the 4-player adjustment?

I'll with 5-6, to accommodate our lower lvl chars unless the majority really want to play up.

Welcome Rinaldo to your first PBP Game! I am sure you will be great.

Here's some information about PBP Gameday VI.

You can register your game at PbPGameday.com. Be sure to mark your game as full.

Once you do, I will send you the email with reporting and boon information!

Enjoy!
Hmm

I'm out of tier either way so will go with the majority.

I'll be happier with low Tier :)

That's two votes for down and one abstention; unless the other three are strongly in favor of playing up by the end of the day, we'll plan on down.

BTW, it occurred to me I should check on your time zones. I'm US west coast (Pacific Time, UTC-8). How spread out are we? ;-)

I need to triple check that this character is not, in fact, level 8. If he isn't then I am happy to play down to accommodate.

If he is, I am more than happy to drop to allow a more appropriate character into the mix since I was unexpectedly able to grab a different game just now.

That's two votes for down and one abstention; unless the other three are strongly in favor of playing up by the end of the day, we'll plan on down.

Switzerland, that's UTC+1 :)

I vote down as well.

GM Rinaldo, I live in Australia, roughly 12 hours in the Pacific NW's future.

(And yes, I'll post the winning lottery numbers for you before the draw this weekend :)

I have played in heaps of PbP PFS games on these boards with GMs from all over the US and Europe and never experienced a problem because of time zone.

Everyone please make sure to post with the alias for your character so I can start getting vital stats and review what you do.

If you are not using Hero Lab to output a stat block, please use something close to the standard character sheet so I can find things. Our illustrious VL Hmm has provided a document you can use as a template.

On the time zones, it was mostly curiousity, but also partly to get an idea of what time of day I am likely to hear from you.

Hello, hello!

I don't really mind what subtier we use. I like to think this character can take some punishment, if need be. Timezone is CET+1, central Europe. I wouldn't worry about that, though. Besides sleeping, I'm available while in the office as well.

No worries :)

Antonella is just finishing up her final game.

The BBEG has been defeated, and I think the GM is about to dump us in a pit trap which leads to Big Bad's treasury.

So I'd say we're a few days away from finishing.

Antonella, if this character isn't free to start in by Friday, let me know. I want to start as close as possible to "on time" for Slot 2 of Gameday.

I'm a few days from finishing my current scenario... (same as Antonella, we're in the same game)

and I'm also pacific time (CAlifornia)

Zinou here. That's the character I'll use.

Zinou here. That's the character I'll use. I'll update her online profile tomorrow.

I'm on the East coast United States but I have access to a computer all day and keep odd and changing hours. So I post often but not always at the same time.

My profile should be complete other then the many season 8 boons I have. Let me know if there is anything else I need to add to it.

A bit about Rocky beyond his simplistic speech.

Out of combat Rocky has Disable Device and good perception but doesn't have Trapspotter. He normally can't disable magic traps but I do have a one shot boon to do so should it come up. He has a decent UMD considering his 5 charisma but he wouldn't object to someone using his mage armor wand on him. Or better yet casting the spell if it lasts a few hours.

Thanks to Dragon Style his main method of fighting is unarmed. He can jump up to 20 feet to start a full round attack. And he has Greater Grapple should we run across any pesky casters.
And considering the title I'll add that he has an adamantium weapon.
He can be quite tanky if you give him enough time to prep. The 21 jumps to 28 with Mage Armor and self cast Barkskin. In the rare occasion he gets time to use it he can add a wand of shield to that.
Or try to anyway.

Marduk is a meat bag with 4 attacks on a full attack (3x axe and 1x bite).
Out of combat, she can track, hide or scout. :)

So I'm waiting for Hermes to confirm if they are in or out, and for Antonella and WotC to complete their current game. Other than that, are we all good to go?

Rocky is ready.

Marduk as well.

Kel's (WotC) and my game has just finished.

We are just waiting on the Chronicle.

I will want to do a little shopping but don't need to level or anything.

Can Antonella do that straight after the briefing please, GM Rinaldo?

For the team, Antonella is a cleric/monk/paladin mutt.

She can pump her AC fairly high to tank using Crane style feats, but her damage output is not where I would like it to be just yet.

In this group, I see her role as tanking, flanking and healing for Marduk, Rocky and Nergi

Her player loves roleplay and cooperative tactical combat, and I am looking forward to gaming with you all!

Do any between scenario shopping you need now before we have briefing. Your ability to shop after briefing may be restricted.

Continue introductory RP while we wait for everyone else. I ended up travelling unexpectedly, so I'll plan to start the scenario introduction over the weekend, or on Monday at the latest.

An adamantium +1 rapier sounds intriguing, given the scenario name. I'll check for available gold tomorrow and update the character if necessary.

Antonella will pick up an oil or two of heart of the (adamantine) metal for 850gp each.

She also has a few more alchemical tools to be added to her profile from last game.

She unpretzelates herself

Best new word!

"However, my particular friend Celidrian will be along shortly. He's a half-elven wizard and appears quite tasty."

Is Celidrian the actual name of "Wizard of the Coast"?

yes Celidrian is his 'real' name, Kel for short. Wizard of the Coast is his registered Paizo name tho.

Antonella is also going to pick up a scroll containing 3-5 (probably 5) shield spells @ 25gp per spell inscribed.

Interesting. Marduk will pick two as well.

Nergi will visit a blacksmith and get some weapon blanching (adamantine). 3 pouches of it, specifically, and use one on her arrowheads for now.

-300 gp

I PMed Hermes; if I don't hear back from him by Monday, I'll go ahead and start. No one signed up as an alternate, so we'll just run with you five if he doesn't join.

GM Rinaldo, would it be OK to ask if anyone is interested in filling the sixth spot from Kel's and my last game?

They are all level 5-7, and fine players/GMs.

Interesting. Marduk will pick two as well.

GM Upaynao put me on to this spell. He says even his Seeker PCs never leave the Grand Lodge without it.

Heads up, I am travelling today, but will be able to post again in about 16 hours.

Heart of the Metal is a fantastic spell, particularly for the adamantine version.

Yes, if someone from your last game wants the last spot, I have confirmed with Hermes that he is out.

Hey, I heard you need another player? I need to finish leveling this one up to 6 but I'd love to join in!

Hey there! Fill in the Signup sheet and make an introduction on the Gameplay thread. With that done I'll post the introduction tonight or tomorrow morning and we'll be off!

With Mutahir at level 6, we will be playing the 5-6 subtier.

Also, so I can fill out the chronicles and report form, everyone please update the signup form with your factions.

Got a bit of a situation here and I'm on the phone only. I'll post in the morning. Some 7 hrs from now.

No worries. I'll check before I go to bed; otherwise I'll see it in the morning.

Sorry if I'm a few posts behind... Husband is in surgery today and probably won't be able to post again til late tonight or tomorrow... Again, sorry for any delay - feel free to bot me to keep the action moving...thanks.

Understood - best wishes to you and your husband!

Hope he gets better. Well wishes.

You and your man are in my thoughts, Lore.

Apologies for skipping on a few days of posting. I'll add something later today. Family member passed away.

My condolences.

So sorry to hear that ... let us know if you need extra time.

Condolences as well.

My condolences, Espi.

So sorry for your loss... take care and take the time you need.
