A place to discuss OOC things for our solstice scar group. Welcome to stalker recurring Scorch character neodam.

I am cross posting on all of my threads even those currently on hold and pending.
If you happen to be following the news my Home county in California is on fire at this moment and I am in an advisory evacuation location.
Not only this but I am also a County Employee and am being pulled into emergency services and response.
Please Bot me as necessary at this time; I am unsure when I will be able to return. My apologies in advanced and thank you all for understanding.
Well we haven't started yet, so we got time here friendo. Be safe.

Thank you ScorchedOne, things are starting to calm down a little for me at this time now that they are getting the fire lines under control. For those of you who havn't seen my little community of Lake County has two fires that have devastated over 90,000 acres and the smoke is measured at more than hazardous.
My family and myself are safe at this time and have heard word we may return home by this weekend possibly.
So will this still be tier 7-8 or are we going lower with the 5th and 6th? Trying to decide who to bring.
7-8.
Well at the very least we are numbered at 5 now, so... there's that.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Shifty also seems to be following me session to session... that must mean I'm not terrible at this!

By now you may have heard on the news the Fire, Mendocino Complex, is now the largest Wildfire ever in California spanning more than 300,000 acres and they don't expect to have any containment until after the 1st.
In light of this and to make sure I have adequate bandwidth for GMing my own special table I will have to bow out at this time.
Thank you all for the Well wishes and positive thoughts, My family and I were able to return home this last weekend and things are still hectic.
@Scorched One I am removing myself from the signup sheet and I see as of my posting this there are no others in the wait list for a 7-8 table. Can you please remove Ebonwolf from the active players when you have a chance.
Absolutely! I'm happy to accept players up to my 6 player maximum.
Should be fine. We start Monday.

Should be fine. We start Monday.
1)The vital punishment Vigilante talent nets me the vital strike feat despite the fact that I don’t have the BAB to normally qualify for it. It also lets me vital strike on an attack of oppertunity 1/rnd.
2) As a magical Child with the quick-change vigilante talent, I can switch between forms as a standard action, though is a magical child My changes are loud and more noticeable.
3) My familiar will normally stay in normal form, but is capable of transforming into a soul doll version of me.
4) I have power attack and furious focus. I also have the lethal grace vigilante talent which nets me 1/2 level to damage so long as I use dex to hit and strength to damage, like when I wield my Elven Branched Spear.

Hi!
Need up update this sheet...
***
@the party:
Everyone can add +3 to their day job checks.
Chairperson:
The discount and bonus on Day Job checks that the Entrepreneur boon provides increase to 10% and +10 respectively. When another PC attempts a Day job check, she gains a +3 circumstance bonus on the check and can earn 200gp on a result of 45 or higher.
***
Scarlet is a travelling performer, musician, and acrobat from Varisia, She is always accompanied by her companion Poppy (a Lyrakien) a fellow entertainer/musician, and 'Rusty the Wonderdog' who is a rare Embeth Hound. Together they form a small travelling troupe 'miniature circus' putting on magic shows, musical entertainment, and other sideshow/carnival acts.
In reality, they are not above acting as scallywags, rascals, and scoundrels - in cahoots with the Sczarni types, and affiliated with the less reputable members of The Exchange - Gauril Karela lives!). Whilst Scarlet explains away her catlike appearance of soft downy fur in a tiger pattern and matching tail as being 'Catfolk', the truth is shes a Rakshasa blooded tiefling.
They aren't bad people, they are just Varisian carny folk living up to the reputation. She's an honest woman just trying to carve out a slightly dishonest living.
Player Name: Shifty

Not sure who from the above arcane casters are actually at our table. I hope someone is there that I can have lent my wand of Mage Armor to so I can get my AC up.
I can if no one else, though not until you see her.
On the months-long trek, the team has been accompanied by a rather slight and meek Tien half-elven girl.
Having GMed part 1, (where you get the dagger)
You leave pretty much immedeately after you get the dagger and the woman tells you what happened. Within a few days IIRC. It’s been a year since I ran part 1 though, so I could be wrong.
Regardless, THANKS! I like springing my unique Vigilante on people.
Thanks for heads up. Feel better.
I'm being called into work over the weekend - back Sunday night.
I will have some interruption to play because where I'm headed the internet/signal/reception is sketchy and involves trying to find a tree or something that magically channels the universe.
I'll post - but it may not be glamorous :p
I would say throw yourself in there, make some sort of post about being late "I was held up in experimentation" or something like you gnomes are always saying, and then act in round 2.
Indeed, the timing of these issues could not be much worse.
Will update once home. Maps on my work computer are problematic.

@Scarlet Scoundrel
I do not recall (nor see in a post) you seeing through my DC 35 Disguise check. And All I recall you saying was "Someone stalks us!" You have said exactly zero other things to my character or about my character. If you are "not having a bar of it" feel free to role-play up that angle as combat banter! But right now, all my character knows is that, after she transformed and tried to stealth up to the party, you saw her. That is it.

Didn't need to beat the Disguise check, beat the Sense Motive check and confronted the tea-lady over it.
Maybe you need to go back and read the spoiler addressed to you :)
We've now worked out the Elven Spear is just another Pathfinder, but the Tea-Lady was about one answer away from being dead in a forest or turned over as a suspicious person
From HERE
Meanwhile, on the caravan (Ootaka & others):Sense Motive - Scarlet 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 2 = 24
Sense Motive - Poppy 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
With the evenings show completed, the cat woman and her accomplice use the distraction to isolate the tea-lady in conversation, the cats eyes have lost their joviality and they now look far more calculating, like they are watching a mouse - "You almost had Poppy fooled, but I'm one of Guaril Karela's lot and I know a fake and a forgery when I see one - you are no wandering tea-lady serving up hospitality, you are a taker, but of information or coins - let's find out which; are you an unlucky spy or a wandering cut-purse?" her tail flicks with agitation.Poppy gazes at the tea lady too, her eyes luminous.
Continuous Detect Magic/Detect Evil
Poppy signals Scarlet a heartbeat later - whether to stay her hand, or tear the throat out of an Aspis spy - who can tell?

Sorry, I did not see that spoiler, but in reality, it changes not a whole heck of a lot. The Dual Identity vigilante talent means that she is NOT outed as a Vigilante with a single sense motive check. Her personality, demeanor, heck even ALIGNMENT change when she changes forms.
You do get a hint that Ootaka is more than she seems, and this bears true as after the fight with the twin horns she uses magic to heal wounds and assist others. She IS more than she seems, and if pressed, the timid woman will admit that. Sorry, I'll make a post in the main forum about it.
But Ootaka is, honestly, a very timid tea servant with a few magical tricks she knows. As a magical child, she magically transforms, both physically and mentally, from one form to another, and while she is aware of what she does in each form, she considers them two separate people. Now, if your character believes that she's the same woman, that's fine. You can believe that, but please play it out as combat banter in the gameplay and don't just tell me to that 'I've been outed' and can't play my character.
And if you want to kill the tea lady? I mean? She never lied to you. She was 'associated with the pathfinders,' and she honestly did want to help you. Your sense motive check did tell you that.

Your commentary on the Sense Motive was not that Ootaka was a timid tea servant with a few magical tricks wanting to help us, but rather - 'While she is not lying, she is hiding something'.
Given that Scarlet is an old school Sczarni and shady figure who has just come off the back of a series of scenarios where undercover spies, double-crosses, and Aspis agents abounded - some strange tea lady hiding something is really alarm-bell triggering. Hence the suspicious Tea Lady is going to get interrogated to find out what - exactly- she is hiding from us.
Whilst Spear and Ootaka have not been identified as the same person, the absence of any reply from the Tea Lady to the direct questioning is going to be a problem until that is resolved. Which it hasn't been.
So I handball that one straight back to you.
I would remind the party that the goals of the pathfinder society, both in and out of character, are to explore, report, and cooperate. While I understand certain in character motivations, I would hope that this would not detract or distract from the mission at hand.
Tracking we have about 9 days before this Special concludes :(
I might run the next special - Siege of the Diamond City, but I think the pacing on this one has been a bit too tight, so I'd want to check the time/days conversion.
Apologies, I thought I had asked for a backup GM but evidently had not. I was at a con with our beloved OPM and online VOs. I have updated.
Not to rush, but if no response by noon central I will bot so we can hopefully get one more task completed before the switch tomorrow.
Wanted to put this in discussion to keep my sarcasm from the IC section.
"The vines wrap around Scarlet's arms and the thorns stab into her, roll a fort save versus poison!"
*Scarlet rolls a 23*
"Ouch, you take 2d6 str, dex, and con damage and the vines wrap around you tighter, constricting for a whole bunch more unkindness."
After the very grabby vines from the last encounter... it seemed like a 'gotcha' moment :p
Oh I totally agree, but this is mostly just a chase mechanic. :)
It exploded in death, ergo its icon moving off board.
Also, boon roll time kiddies.
Alas, earwax.
