PbP GameDay 3: PFS 06-07 Valley of Veiled Flame (5-9) (Inactive)

Game Master Andrew Trexler

Discuss!

I have two. I have a level 5 dwarves monk and a level 9 bard. I'm fine with either. I will play whatever is in tier.

Hey! Thanks for the invite!

I have a level 5 flying charger, a level 9 Witch, and a level 9 Magus. No particular preference on any of them.

Absolutely, happy to have you!

Bill just jumped in with Azdak, who (if I'm not mistaken) is level 5, and I believe my friend Sarah also has a level 5 (or maybe 6 now) available. So it looks like lower tier is going to be the ticket. I'm excited to see Stellah in action! I also haven't played with Senzo yet so this will be good.

Is Hack still level 6? If so, that'd be perfect.

We have one more slot if anyone has ideas on who to fill it with; if not, I'll recruit from the Flaxseed Lodge.

I've been excited to get Azdak up a level. He is my Keleshite Draconic Sorcerer and he is one experience point away from level 6. However, he is Grand Lodge. I'm not sure if that is a problem. I could instead bring in Skybek who is a level 5 Dwarven Cleric of Cayden Cailean. He is Liberty's Edge and may be better to use in this scenario. Let me know what you think.

GM Trex, are you still running Sewer Dragon's of Absalom?

If Hack showed up and I played Skybek, we could have three dwarves in the party. What do you think of that?!

I am interested if there is a spot. I can play an Aasimar Ranger 6/Hunter 1 archer.

Hi there! First time with Play by Post? Recruitment for games is usually done through specific recruitment threads or (even better) through specific recruitment "campaigns" such as the Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge. For this particular game, I am mostly recruiting from friends and people I know, and I'm hoping to have a full group of in-subtier characters.

Nevertheless, if there isn't a level 5 or 6 character available on short notice, I'd be happy to have you. More importantly, though, I would love to be your first PbP GM in another one of my games -- I'm currently recruiting for three games on my Sign Up Sheet. It's more or less first-come-first-serve, so if you sign up now you'd be pretty much guaranteed a spot. Merchant's Wake and Sewer Dragons are both likely to start soon. Please do add your name! I highly recommend that you also make an in-character post in the Flaxseed Lodge; quite a few GMs recruit through there and it will get permanently added to your Campaign tab for easy reference.

I should be able to let you know about this game today or tomorrow, and if I don't get to play with you in this one I hope to do so in another quite soon!

Cheers,
GMTrex

Harpwizard: yes, Sewer Dragons is still on! Looks like it will probably be lower tier but we'll see. Just waiting on a sixth sign-up, really. For this game, you may consider switching to Skybek as this is a Liberty's Edge scenario (and Silver Crusade, for those interested). Up to you though!

Yes, once I realized the factions involved, I started thinking that Skybek would be a better choice. This will allow Azdak to play Sewer Dragons.

Sadly I don't have anyone in the correct factions for this.

Still waiting on thunderspirit, Mike, and Sarah. Everyone's in, just waiting for posts.

Had to finish updating Orryn — finally got to wrap it up tonight.

No worries!

Hi all, Delphine will be joining you soon. Currently finishing up the last room of her lvl 1 module then a big jump to lvl 6 thanks to dragons demand chronicles :).

Let me know what you want her role to be. She has a big scary tiger to be tanky and debuffer(dazzling display) and she can pick a spirit from the shaman class each day. Mostly I pick the lore one for bonus wizard spells and there is a lot of versatility in that field. Buffs, blastings, you name it, I can get it ;).

With her ac (25 unbuffed) she can easily be a front line if that is what the party likes. Can adjust spells to do so :).

Please ignore my stats for now, I have to properly update them, but I'm still finishing off a game :).

No worries.

This party is pretty heavy on front-liners, actually. Tanky-paladin, tanky-fighter, tanky-monk, battle-cleric, and a mounted charger, plus you.

So naturally, we will resort to diplomacy for all encounters.

Shotgun diplomacy, that is. :-D

My character is quite diplomatic. I updated all her stats on her alias page except for those you see underneath my name here.
I have plenty of buff spells for our front liners :).

Diplomacy will be a good skill to have when traveling with a group of dwarves!!

Senzo proves Skybek's point by releasing a proud amount of Gozreh's Thunder.

Lol.

I have another game running with 3 dwarves in the party who bicker constantly. This group seems quite different. :)

Hi everybody! I'm Andrew. I've gamed with some of you before, some I haven't yet had the pleasure. I'm looking forward to running your adventure!

A couple of basic expectations (which I think everyone's familiar with):

1. A quick-moving thread is more fun for everyone. Please post at least once per day, and the more the merrier. Take your time and roleplay your hearts out, but do post regularly and keep the game moving. I'll make sure to do the same. If you know you'll be unable to post for a while, please let us all know here and consider giving march orders to the party (especially if we're in combat) and know that the game will likely still keep moving.

2. I've gotten pretty familiar with the PFS/Pathfinder rules over the years, but obviously I haven't dealt regularly with every class or situation. So if you are concerned that I've messed up somewhere in a way that really impacts gameplay (which is entirely possible), please feel free to raise the issue here in the Discussion thread or privately and I'll do my best to correct the issue. It's all about learning!

3. Please pay attention to text formatting and the thread tabs. Use Gameplay for gameplay and Discussion for non-gameplay discussion. Use the [b] tag and quotes for in-character speech and the [ooc] tag for out-of-character commentary. Use spoiler tags when necessary and open them only when appropriate.

4. In combat, please add Round 1 or Round 2, etc., at the top of your post. That will make things much easier for me. Feel free to post if it is not yet your turn if (and only if) you are reasonably certain that your action will not impact others earlier in the initiative order. EDIT: Courtesy of Orryn and Senzo, I'm adding this request as well--if you are posting out of turn, please put it in a spoiler. Example:

5. Please provide some sort of access to your character's statistics on your character's page. Standard statblock format is easiest for me, but a link to a character sheet or some other similar arrangement would work fine too.

6. Have fun and be the awesome Pathfinders you are!

Lol.

Just wait until the hobbit halfling chimes in with, Drat this dwarvish racket! :-D

A new custom that I approve of (courtesy of Orryn) is that if you MUST post out of turn, do it in a spoiler. Just throwing that out there Trex.

I'm thunderspirit/Orryn Quattlebaum, and I approve this message. :-)

Certainly willing to try it out! Let's do it.

Since we have a weeks travel, any requests for specific wizard spells I should put on the list?
Currently I have
enlarge person
invisibility
haste
heroism
false life (for moi and/or kitty)
Anything from level 1-3 is possible, but I only have 4 lvl 3 castings a day :)

Haste! :-)

It's hard to go wrong with either haste or invisibility.

Hey Trex, could you respond to the pm plz?

-Posted with Wayfinder

Done! Sorry, sometimes I miss the notifier at the top.

Guys I'm terribly sorry, but I have to withdraw. I thought I was nearly done with the previous campaign but we have another tomb to pilpher. Cheers and good luck.

Ah, too bad! Good luck with that tomb!

Hey folks,

I have just been promoted to Venture Captain of Vermont and New Hampshire! I am so excited!!!

Welcome to the new Venture Captain of New Hampshire and Vermont

Congratulations, Bill! Looking forward to your work as VC!

Rockin'! This lowly V-L salutes you!

Congrats Bill that's really awesome!

Great work on the new website, Bill!

Thanks! I hope people find it helpful. If you know of any other PFS events happening in southern NH, please let me know. I am trying to help expand PFS in that region. I did not realize that you have so much PFS going on already!

If you have any suggestions for the website or ideas for NH PFS in general, please let me know. I am scheming to organize a PFS convention, but I am daunted by the price of renting meeting room space at hotels. I really want to have one big mountain bunkhouse/lodge where we can all retreat for the weekend to play Pathfinder!

I know The Comic Store in Nashua does PFS games on occasion; I haven't been to one myself so I don't know if they're regular or not. But it might be worth adding to the site.

Do you or Chris ever go there? I'm looking for GMs who are interested in running some scenarios at some of the game stores in NH.

I'm rarely in NH, so unfortunately I'm an unlikely candidate.

I have run games there before. Its a small group, but the owner is very supportive. The old VC for Boston visited the last Saturday of the month.

There's a hobby store in Merrimack (same plaza as Tractor Factory, across from where Zyla's used to be) that does gaming too. I can talk to someone there...

That would be great! Let me know if they are playing any Pathfinder.

Just an FYI, I will be hiking in the mountains for the next two days and out of contact. I'll be back Sunday evening or Monday morning!

Please feel free to post your current round actions in advance of my return!

Have a great trip! What mountains are you hiking?

Thanks! The Whites. Specifically up to the Zealand Falls AMC hut (with a run up to Z-Cliff). My dad and I do it every year.

That's awesome! You are right in my back yard! I'm just a little north of there in St. Johnsbury. Zealand is a favorite of mine! Have a great trip!
