GM Revvy, do you rule that Sleeves of Many Garments can turn into a Cold Weather Outfit? If so, and there's one available, I'd like to purchase one before we leave. If you don't rule it that way, or there isn't one available, I'd like to buy a Cold Weather Outfit.
Just making a note here that (assuming I survive, hehe) I will be checking off on my Faction Card that I traveled to Irrisen (and hopefully another to-be-determined goal based on what we do).

You can do all sorts of other skills for dayjobs if you have the vanity which let's you do that. You can also get heal for example, and don't forget about perform.
It doesn't specifically say the Sleeves can't or can't do that, so as far as I'm concerned they can. It's a different set of clothing after all.
You could have bought them before starting this scenario. So no problem with purchasing it. In fact the scenario has the option to do so; the Grinning Pixie’s quartermaster can sell nearly any mundane or alchemical gear in addition to magic items worth 2,500 gp or less
...that's one well supplied ship.

Ha! Ok, I'll by one on the ship.
I definitely want to look into a vanity to use diplomacy for day jobs. Does it cost PP?

Variel is also buying a cold weather outfit.
@Rhuul: 3 from class skill, 5 ranks, 1 from CHA, 1 from trait, 3 from familiar.
In a way I do, its called Mordo my familiar. As a bard I believe the easiest way for Rhuul to get one is the eldritch heritage feat chain with arcane bloodline.
@Rowanna: Sure :D
|
Rhuul isn't really about mini-maxing. A dwarven Bard is hardly an optimised build. A familiar might be kind of fun though. I'll have to have a bit of a gander at that. Given Bards are not feat rich though it's probably not that worthwhile. Two feats (skill focus and eldritch heritage) to give a bonus not as good as just skill focus in diplomacy.

I don't think it will hurt anything at this point to tell you now; With 10 bricks of blackfire clay it takes 2 hours to melt through the ice, or 1 hour if you make a Knowledge (Engineering) check to apply the bricks at the most efficient places, which also provides enough heat to count as a warm enough environment for you to be able to heal any non-lethal damage you might have gotten from the cold weather.
To quote the Venture-Captain (first post): The ruins of Naldak’s Point are probably buried under a millennium of ice and snow, just waiting for someone—you—to go dig them out.
I’ve packed you ten blocks of blackfire clay to make the task more manageable,” the venture-captain says, handing over a backpack stuffed with black bricks. “Don’t forget to take these with you.”
But they had to include an option to get through the ice in case someone used the blackfire clay for something else (as you guys did to stay warm), so you can chip your way through the ice (in the cold).
If the PCs decide to physically chisel their way through, all characters that participate in manually breaking the ice gain the fatigued condition until they rest for 8 hours.
So technically you could decide to not help and not be fatiqued... but that seems wrong to me.
You guys had only 4 bricks left, so I compromised ..you get the heat (with the campfire and the remaining bricks), so you can get rid of the non-lethal damage but you still need to expend energy to get the wood/chop through some of the ice -> fatiqued.

I might buy a vanity to be able to make a day job check, but I think day job comes first, right? Otherwise I will have a day job check.
Would you mind putting two notes on my chronicle sheet? One that says i traveled to the Land of the Linnorm Kings and one that says I completed 6 consecutive scenarios with the primary and secondary success conditions? It's for my faction card. If you need to see evidence for the latter i can link all the games.
Thanks for everything! It was a fun game!

Thanks for running Revvy, that was quick thanks to all the successful Diplomacy checks.
If Variel is still willing to trade spells, Rowanna will learn the following from him, taking 10 on the necessary Spellcraft rolls to make the DC's:
Level 1
Comprehend Languages
Ray of Enfeeblement
Air Bubble
Identify
Level 2
Web
Detect Thoughts
Level 3
Dispel Magic
Stinking Cloud

@rhuul; Well..you could have fought the river guards, you could have fought while invading a town..and you could have fought the last party..so you avoided 2-3 battles by talking.
I have a pretty busy few days, I'll try to get the chronicles out..but to inform you it might take till Monday if I can't find the spare time earlier.
@Zuriel; I'm fine with noteing it down, but you don't need GM sign-off for the faction cards goals
For those 6 consequtive mission you need to have played 6 of those after the start of the faction cards, scenario's played before the card came out don't count (not saying you didn't play 6 scenario's after that, just pointing it out since due to the nature of play-by-post it takes a while to get through a scenario)

Wow, I just double checked and you're right, that's not allowed. I have to say, that is a terrible ruling (not by you, but by Mike).
The rule was that you can't go back and retroactively check boxes for past scenarios you've completed. That should mean that I can't finish my sixth chronicle and say: "Ok, I'm going to put a box for completing 3 consecutive scenarios for my 5th chronicle, and now I'll put the 6 consecutive scenarios for this 6th chronicle".
But this ruling is essentially saying that none of my past chronicles count for anything. Bogus.
Well, that means in the last scenario I completed (Wounded Wisp) I illegally checked off the "3 consecutive" box. I'll erase that.
There is a box for "Forgo a Day Job check to finalize a report to the Pathfinder Society. Doing so requires a successful DC 15 Intelligence,
Wisdom, or Profession (scribe) check."
Can I do that when I don't currently have a Day Job skill yet?

Just the same as per the rules, except since it's familiar to familiar contact, it doesn't cost any gold. You still have to make a spellcraft check for every spell you want to pick up, but you can take 10.
Nice, in this case Variel will also learn some of your spells by taking 10. These:
0-Level
Arcane Mark, Bleed, Daze, Detect Poison, Putrefy Food and Drink, Touch of Fatigue.
1-Level
Mage Armor, Cause Fear, Command, Burning Hands, Snowball, Ear Piercing Scream, Ill Omen, Summon Monster I, Obscuring Mist.
2-level
Blindness/Deafness, Glitterdust, Invisibility, Touch of Idiocy, False Life, Hold Person, Silence, Summon Monster II.
It was nice meeting Rowana again and I had a good time playing this scenario. I always enjoy when the group can find alternative solutions to challenges that are not combat.

I'm not sure, but to me it seems like to be able to forgo something, you must have the thing you want to forgo to start with.
So I think you need to have a dayjob to start with.
But that's my interpretation, I haven't found any official answer to that one.
That sounds right to me. Thanks for running this!

Thanks Chronicle looks good.
For the foregoing a day job, I always took it, as that "slot" of time wsa taken up with other activities. If you don't have a day job, you do other things with it. Why should someone who put a point of skill into (for example) perform - be better able to finalise a report than someone who put that point into stealth.
Or even worse, who did put the point into stealth and had purchased the vanity that let them use that for a day job.
Not that this one affects me, and not sure if there is an official ruling on the matter. I guess it depends on whether you look on this as a game balance issue (trade small amount of gold from day job for tick on a sheet) or a "you only have so much time outside of adventuring to do other stuff" limit.
