GM Tyranius Gameday VII: Assault on Absalom Special (Inactive)

Game Master Tyranius

Sunken Ships: When the Overseer GM announces this condition, Pathfinder agents have destroyed the last of the Silent Tide’s leaders. The undead armada begins to break apart, and Absalom’s forces can direct their full efforts to defeating the demon-flesh army. This grants the PCs a reprieve to catch their breath, and all PCs immediately gain a number of temporary hit points equal to 1d8 × the group’s APL.

This has already been implemented.

*****

Broken Horns: When the Overseer GM announces this condition, Pathfinder agents have defeated many of the demon-flesh army’s minotaur field commanders. Groups can now combat Atalazorn in area L.

So we're fighting the big robot dragon thing?

Should we activate that boon to give us a +4 to everyone's init vs a construct? Not sure if there'll be more of those, so seems as good a time as any!

Agreed!

Yes you are. :)

Sounds good I will activate the Init bonus.

Sorry something kept me out of Paizo. Back now.

Also lets use this aid token.

So the token we have has Timely Inspiration boosted...

Does that mean we get +3/+3 at our tier?

If so, we should probably activate that now, for the next 3 rounds!

That is correct Theo.

Wait, how immediately after the fight with the construct is this? We had 8 rounds of haste, of which we'd only used 2 by the time it fell.

I would say any buffs that were in rounds (Seconds) are spent but any buffs left over that were minutes / level are still good to go.

So, for those not keeping track at home... boons we still have left to use that are relevant...

- force an NPC to reroll a confirmation roll on a crit
- one PC can reroll a single d20 roll
- everyone gains 21 temporary hit points**
- 1 free Burst of Healing aid token (+3d6 healing to everyone)
- 1 free Timely Inspiration aid token (+2 to hit and damage for 3 rounds)
- 1 free Allied Offensive aid token (+2d8 * 1.5 damage and flanking)

I would assume we want to activate the allied offensive token, after Kivuli goes, so he gets sneak attack damage next round too if someone manages to hit the vrock (Due to the flanking part of it)

The Timely Inspiration one can get turned on any time really.

And if someone wants that reroll, just say so! =)

** The temp hp one has to be activated at the beginning of an encounter... and though we alreayd have temp hp's (and doubt they stack)... these would be better... so might as well use it now, yes?

we spend too much time waiting it seems

While waiting, just want to add that completely support Theo's suggestions on the use of the boons. Bambang might really need that temp hp! :)

Sounds good I'll kick off that Temp HP.

we spend too much time waiting it seems

Trying to give Anduris his opportunity to post. You guys are good. I won't let you get behind. :)

Sorry guys I was on yesterday and I didnt see any change in the posting so I didnt post. I will try to catch up.

Just for everyone's knowledge, the incorporeal rules are in a few different places. I know a lot of my PFS players miss aspects of them.

Incorporeal Subtype

An incorporeal creature has no physical body. An incorporeal creature is immune to critical hits and precision-based damage (such as sneak attack damage) unless the attacks are made using a weapon with the ghost touch special weapon quality. In addition, creatures with the incorporeal subtype gain the incorporeal special quality.

The rest of the rules are here. In which I believe it is still unclear what normally means in, 'Force spells and effects, such as from a magic missile, affect an incorporeal creature normally.'

Yup, that is why that summoned spitiual weapon kukri is doing full force damage. :)

Yep. The part that had originally taken me a while to find was the ghost touch weapons crit becuase it is neither in incorpoeal rules nor the ghost touch rules. It's in the subtype rules.

There are still lots of fights about in 'affect normally' covers crits when I'm a player I assume force does not crit. It's usually safest to assume the most conservative rules.

Also I should ma“e it clear that this was not me trying to correct you in any way. I just like when rules are posted. It has helped me learn a lot in a past. I hope it did not come off as me correcting. And, apologies if it did.

Nope you are fine. I do the same thing. There are a lot of rules to this and some are a bit scattered as you said. Especially incorporeal. It helps me stay on top of it, especially now that there are three different systems each with different rulings going on at the same time (PFS / PFS 2.0 / Starfinder)

It can be real easy to mix something small up on the fly, but that is the best part of PbP as we have the opportunity to look up most everything before posting. The main enemy of our format is misinterpretation of what the player or GM is actual trying to get across.

By all means if I goof up, let me know. I am only human and constantly make mistakes. :)

I PM if a mistake is big enough to talk about most of the time I ignore them. If something comes up that I find my players get confused a lot I take opportunities to post rules. It is a great part of PBP.

You are on point about the problem with conveying tone.

It is that time again folks!

Hey thanks for the run. It was real cool. Sorry for sporatic posting. With real life stuff and for some reason at times Paizo would not update the posting for me for a day or two. Anyway, great job all.

Still need Tak and Nail's information for chronicles and reporting.

Sorry

Below are the links to your chronicles folks. You have earned the choice of any two of the boons! Check them over for any errors that I may have made.

Tak, I will get yours added to the folder late this evening as it is on my other computer at home and I don't have adobe set up on this one so unable to sign it.

Chronicles!

No rush it's on me that I did not get the info up

Thanks for running. I really enjoyed the characters and seeing some builds I had not encountered before.

SLAM DUNK GROUP! I hope I have the opportunity to play with all of you again sometime.

Agreed that was a great game thank you all.

Game has been reported. I should be home in a couple hours Tak and will have your chronicle up then.

@Tak and Nail- Your chronicle has now been added to the link above.

Thank you and thanks for the game.

So this is unfortunately one of the Forums currently locked out with the forum bug that has been happening. Here are some quick instructions to at least get it off of your Campaigns Tab.
