The Half Dead City (Mummy's Mask Part 1) (Inactive)

Game Master Chainmail

The Half-Dead City
(1 of 6): In Wati, the half city, the church of Pharasma holds a lottery allowing explorers to delve the tombs of the city’s vast necropolis in search of the nation’s lost glories. In the course of investigating dusty tombs and fighting their ancient guardians and devious traps, the heroes encounter a rival adventuring group intent on keeping one tomb’s treasures for themselves. At the same time, the heroes learn that a potent artifact, potentially capable of animating the dead, has been stolen from the tomb. Can the adventurers defeat their rivals, or will they join the undead defenders of the city’s necropolis?

I'm still here. The post have been coming sporadically, so I have not rushed to check every couple of hours. That, and I was having a hard time knowing where we were in initiative order.

I'm here.

One last push and GenCon will be over. Have had a blast, with 9 (soon to be 10) straight slots of playing PFS. Survived Bonekeep 3 last night, and we crushed it really at APL 8-9. Great fun, great stories, and lots of lies to be told!

Alright, GenCon complete, am somewhere on I-70 headed East towards home.

Let's clear this tomb!


Is Faisal in melee range?


Male Elf Wizard/1

I said that I move up and swing. I should be.


Check the map__ don't see how it is possible


Male Elf Wizard/1

Players can move through each other's space, unless the other player doesn't want to allow it.

Very true. They cannot finish in the same square however, and cannot charge through other characters. They also are assumed to have cover while doing so, so no aoo for movement.

sorry, went into rules lawyer mode, I'll dial it back.


As there is not a legal melee attack for Faisal, I will move things along.


Male Elf Wizard/1

Ok...I'm confused here. If I can pass through other characters area, what's the problem? I didn't charge. I moved up.

Fights are not static...your move, my move, your move.

Even if it moved someone else out of position for a moment, I would think the attack would still go through.

Could someone please explain this to me. Because the way I'm understanding it, only Sabola and Satesh will be able to fight and every one else get to stand around and twiddle their thumbs.


Unfortunately if you attack you cannot move afterwards unless you have the appropriate feats. Five foot steps may allow some shuffling here and there at times. I don't think this was one of those times.


male human Magus 2 | Arcane pool 1/3/ day | Hp:20/20 | AC:15, T:11, Ff:14 | F:+4, R:+1, W:+4 | CMD:15 | Init:+1, Perception:+3

not that it matters now, but I think the issue wasn't the movement to get there, but the lack of a place to stand. However if Sabola was prone Faisal could have stood over him...


Male Elf Wizard/1

That was my point Umbryl. But like you said, the point is moot now.


Male Half Orc Rogue / 5 (AC: 19 [T: 14 FF: 19, +1 vs traps] | HP: 43/43(0NL) | F+5, R+10*, W+3) | Init: +4 |Perc: +8*, dark vision)

As many are no doubt aware, this is a holiday weekend in the US. I'm taking the family camping this weekend, which likely means no internet until Monday. If anything amazing happens while I'm gone (probably from 2PM eastern today until 4pm eastern Monday), he GM can decide how my character acts.


Male Half Orc Rogue / 5 (AC: 19 [T: 14 FF: 19, +1 vs traps] | HP: 43/43(0NL) | F+5, R+10*, W+3) | Init: +4 |Perc: +8*, dark vision)

On the loot subject: neither I as a player, or Sabola as a character are particularly hung up on the nuances of completely equitable loot distribution. If we find things party members can use, then let them. We'll equalize it with the sellable stuff. Consumables are party items, with some exceptions. Adventuring is a team sport.


Male Elf Wizard/1

Agreed.


You have earned slightly over 8K XP as a group on the medium progression putting you at 1600XP+ each.


male human Magus 2 | Arcane pool 1/3/ day | Hp:20/20 | AC:15, T:11, Ff:14 | F:+4, R:+1, W:+4 | CMD:15 | Init:+1, Perception:+3

cool. so nearly 2nd level then.
As to the loot, I don't worry about it much. the tougher characters are the better for all.


male human Magus 2 | Arcane pool 1/3/ day | Hp:20/20 | AC:15, T:11, Ff:14 | F:+4, R:+1, W:+4 | CMD:15 | Init:+1, Perception:+3

Also on the loot, Umbryl isn't keeping the shield, it would interfere with his spell casting, he just thought it would be valuable because of its age. Just showing a little greed....XD

No problem, Umbryl. I will update accordingly.


Male Elf Wizard/1

After looking at the stats for the armor, I am going to stick with my leather, so feel free to add the selling price to the gold amount.


Male Half-Elf Alchemist (Beastmorph/Vivisectionist) 4 (HP 31/31) (AC 21/11/20) (CMD 18) (Fort +6, Ref +5, Will +2) (Init +3) (Perception +13)

Well, we were never given a price by the GM, but a quick search of Archives of Nethys turns up a price of 5235 (to buy), which means a sale value of 2617.5gp, and when split five ways that means we each receive an additional 523.5gp :-)

Woot? How much total then?

I may be obsessing over this, but did seem to be the target they tended to go for.
Lol

I say we take the lesser price for the armor. With 5 of us it is still another 440 gp, not as good as 523, but close enough for broke Umbryl...


Current map is sheet House Panteru Ground.

It is a walled compound and the grey is the outer wall. Will update later with more detail.


Male Elf Wizard/1

I'm afraid I am going to have to bow out. I am not able to give the adventure the attention it or the rest of you deserve. Good luck on finding someone to replace me and with the rest of the adventure.


Well the good news is you get to level up as you split up Faisal's 1600 XP. The bad news is you are four again.

With an alchemist and magus, you will have some arcane power. The bad news is we are at the bare minimum--we can't afford any more attrition. Now is the time to check your schedule--hopefully we can finish the next crypt.

The Dawnflower would not permit me to quit!

Leveling up!

1/2 +1 for hit points?


Yes indeed PFS style -- let us not tempt the fates.

Well I looked up haunts and I think I lucked out. With dusty's terrible skill roll, she probably thinks it was a weak ghost or something. Hope I get a reroll at some point.

yeah. Haunts are kinda weird. Usually you get one chance to fix em when they go off, and that's if you make a perception or some kind of check first. course they may also go off every time you cross paths with them as well.

Hey all
I'm going away to a writers convention this weekend, leaving in about 30min or so. I am not certain if i will have net access, so I won't be posting much I think. Back to proper posting early next week.
Feel free to bot me

Hey, at least we are receiving a practical demonstration on why splitting the party is a terrible idea ;-)

I'm a little surprised you ran into the building, rather than out of the area, to be sure. Reminds me of being a train in a lot of mmo's when you sprint throughban area tripping all the encounters, lol.

Ahhh yes, used that method to level up many characters in all three realms in Dark Age of Camelot.


Running TO the souce of fear and threat, a mob outside the manor, didn't make sense.

Would have been a handy time to have protection from evil.

Ye can't just walk around with that stuff up 24/7


It grants a new save versus evil when cast on someone.
That is why I make a scroll of it ASAP.

Yes, but I ran away before anyone had a chance to do anything ;-)

Hahaha, well, I doubt any of us have Scribe Scroll, and the need to touch the one you cast it on would have been problematic with Setesh already running through the place setting off encounters.

It's also unlikely such would work in this instance, as Setesh has a fear affect on him, which doesn't qualify under "possess or exercise mental control over the creature."


I try to give players a break.

Failing one save shouldn't cause death.

Our characters don't even know he's in trouble.

Well, he ran into a trapped and monster infested tomb in a panic with no regard to danger. I think there is reason to think he is in trouble. Deep trouble.
