Scenario 20 - King Xeros of Old Azlant (Inactive)

Game Master Tarondor

Please chime in to let me know you're here.

______________________________________________________

Here is how things are going to work. I'm not going to use any of the map options I've seen here, mostly because I'm old and cranky and don't want to learn anything new. Instead, you are going to describe your move in detail and I'm going to update the maps by hand and post them on my site with a link in the Gameplay forum.

EXAMPLE: Fred the Fighter charges to the attack! (Move N-N-E-N; attack!)

(Where N=North, E=East, S=South and W=West). North will always be at the top of the map, regardless of any compasses printed on the map.

Dice will be rolled here as normal

______________________________________________________

Players are expected to post at least once per day, seven days a week.

______________________________________________________

The GM is often wrong, but will do his best to be right. If I screw up in your favor, we'll let it go. If I screw up in a way that hurts you, speak up before your next turn and I'll try to get it straightened out.

______________________________________________________

I've had 36 years of GMing experience, but I still don't know every obscure ability you may have. If you're using an ability that is not common, please explain it and link it to the SRD or PRD so I can quickly determine what you're trying to do.

Rule #1 - Have fun!

Please sign in!

"Where is everyone at?"

Draxvale the half orc barbarian is here!

"Hello my barbaric friends. I am most pleased to be making of your aquantenance. My humble name is Gerri."

Game on!!

Gerri can use poisons very well. I have 4 doses with him and each dose will last for 8 attacks. So if you want to pick up any, I can use his or party members on your weapons.

Gerri, please pick an avatar. I'll need it for the maps.

"Knight Captain Aquila Audax of the Andoran Navy reporting for duty!"

Picture

Bishop and Timber are here and ready for action. My profile is out of date (I haven't updated it since GenCon. I will get on that ASAP.)

Hello all - checking in! This is a placeholder for the 7th level Merisiel - I'll get her squared away this PM. Pre-gen is an easement - no chargen decisions to make. :)

Savage watches as the room fills up with the others.

A lot of freedom fighters, and an androgynous smart looking err... fellow? At least Merisiel's here. A little eye candy never hurts, even if that candy will steal your valuables while you sleep.

The large Ulfen man stands up he and addresses Gerri and the crowd at large.

"My name is Savage Vengeance, I don't say much, so I'll keep it short. Let's try to stay alive today, or die in the throws of combat."

A poisoned weapon would be great, but I feel that this character would feel it was cheating. Unless there are Jadwiga around, in that case honor be damned.

A lot of freedom fighters

"Hi Savage! Good to meet you." the halfling captain says.

"I can probably explain the great number of Andorans to you. We've heard we're being send to the harbour and Andorans are great sailors. Probably 'cause sailing feels like freedom! The wind rushing through your hair and the ship coursing through the waves. It's as close to flying most can get!"

The eagle on his glove squawks. Aquila turns to her and says "Yes Garra, there are exceptions!"

dot!

Gameplay is open. Head on over!

A couple of clerical questions:

1. Do you want my animal companion on Bishop's initiative, or his own?
2. Do you want any information not contained in my profile already?

1) Both on yours.
2) Nope, looks good.

A heads-up: Today is my day to GM Pathfinder face to face. This game will resume tonight or tomorrow, and then we'll be off at high speed.

Folks, I'd like you all to do me a favor:

Include in the profile's Class/Level line the following info:

Class Level (archetype) - HP current/max - AC: /T: /FF: - Perception - F: / R: /W: - CMB - CMD - Speed - Init.

Also, please ensure that your profile prominently displays your PFS number.

@Tarondor - gotcha, profile updated. Hope f2f goes well :)

It did. For once, there were no PC deaths. The players, having just made 10th level, did their best to break the game, but found that almost dozen hill giants, ettins, qlippoths and redcaps all at once have a sort of anti-break gravity to them. :-)

That said, it was fun to watch them go at a problem in a way it was obvious the designers hadn't contemplated and yet not just derail the game. One player asked if they had caused it to "jump the tracks." I said that while the train had jumped the tracks, they were managing to keep it in the rail yard, so I was okay with it.

heh! sounds great! I ran RoR for my kids (as pre-teens..). One of them 'hat-of-disguised' themselves as a juvenile stone giant, and took the whole section of the module on a romp 'through the train yard'. Always a good time, and keeps the GM on their toes. :)

Aquila Audax, you don't have a character sheet in your profile. I can't proceed without one. Please put it online immediately. Also, please do as I requested above with your class/level line.

Bishop and Savage Vengeance, I need your Initiative modifier to be in your class /level line.

Done

For some reason the messageboard alias and the character aren't joined correctly. I'll check it out later, but the link above should provide all info.

Currently on my phone, so this is the best I can do at the moment

Aquila - you likely have an alias and a PFS character with the same name. They're not the same things. You'll need to create and use the PFS character here and update that. Please do it today.

Ok, it should be in there now!

If not, please let me know and I'll try to adjust it asap!

Looks good, Aquila.

FYI, folks, I'll post something tonight. My apologies for the slow start. RL got it's peanut butter in my gaming chocolate!

No worries Tarondor. Once we get in the swing of it, we will pick up the pace.

@Merisiel:
I am not sure what you are wanting me to do based on your last comment in Gameplay.

@Gerri - thanks for softening this one up - can you direct your AoE attacks at the other one for a bit?

<doh!> posting in haste, and interlaced with several other activities... managed to mess up the avatar. aaurghh.

A disembodied voice speaks from the smoke cloud, Ummm.... did we loose internet access? Are we still waiting on someones turn? My bombs are only good for one scenario and then they get refreshed.

Many days I may only manage one post a day, though I shoot for two.

No worries Tarondor... I was not sure what was occuring or whom was going to be posting next.

A couple of possible solution for the healing.

If I read the combat threads, Savage, Bishop, Timber and Draxvale are damaged from the construct.

1) As we in the the Harbor of Absalom, we could purchase a scroll or two of Heal or Mass Heal.

Mass Heal, 9th lvl, 17th lvl Caster, 3825gp
... would need to get a 9+ on the caster level check

Heal, 6th lvl, 11th lvl Caster, 1650gp (x3 = 6600gp)
... would need to get 15+ on the caster level check, 4 times.

2) Puchase numerous vials of Troll Syptic
Fast healing 2 for 2d4 rounds, average to 10hp per vial
I figure a minimum of 17 vials at 100gp each
... Savage 2 Vials, Draxvale 6 vials, Timber 2 vials, Bishop 7 Vials

Sure Savage will take two, you never know.

strictly out of character, because it wouldn't occur to Merisiel (ever), but I just re-read the description for 'infernal healing'. It states that it grants fast healing, which acts as natural healing. anyone got some infernal healing to test out?

I thought about infernal Healing, but its a cast spell. I could see it have the same caster level check requirement. Could go either way.

Yeah I believe we need a mundane source

Long day. Will get back to it tomorrow.

Gerri thinks over the various formulas that he has in his book, trying to remember when he gained Time Stop.

@Gerri - "Spoilers!" Reviewing that blue journal would probably help you out with which of your future selves added that to your formulae, but then that future self would have to come back and kill you. The paperwork and paradox eradication just isn't worth it for any version of yourself.

Belated Happy Halloween All!

Will post tonight.

Drax is dropping out of the game. Good luck.

I'm sorry to hear that Drax. If you would care to PM me, I'd be curious as to why.

You did not complete three encounters, so I cannot credit you with any XP in this game.

@Tarondor - I wasn't complaining about Merisiel being unable to manipulate the pretty crystal consoles... Just trying to be a bit wry about the 'I void warranties' nature of her expertise. Merisiel is extremely unsuited to the methodical thinking-through this sort of thing requires.

Attempt at humor: fail.... :)

Big scene to set up. Very tired. Will post tomorrow.

Tarondor

Gerri, I've been meaning to ask:

1) Why is Gerri neuter?

2) What's with the tic tic, toc, toc? Is that the echolocation? Or is he secretly a clockwork alchemist? :-)

@Tarondor - 'tic toc' started when we started 'on the clock'. I believe when we went through the first magical door.

Gerri is neuter for back store.

the tic, tic ... Toc,toc are a reminder of the echolocation. Think of it like clicking your tongue.

I also play him with a different personality when he sticks his mutagen. Politeness goes out the window with his Indian type dialogue.

Yes, but is the back story written somewhere? Why is he neuter?
