5-04: The Stolen Heir (CORE) (Inactive)

Game Master Baerlie

Dot here if you are ready.

As mentioned in the recruitment, I'm new so any and all help for me to get through this will be praised.

I've studied the Core Rulebook, Guild Guide, and Strategy Guild so I have an idea of what to do.

I'd like to remind anyone that having an "idea" of roleplaying is very much different from experiencing it. I apologize in advance if my roleplay seems too weak or too "overcommitted". Roleplaying is extremely rare within my lifetime.

A note for the GM. Usually around 11pm - 8am US/Pacific Time I'll be asleep. I wouldn't be surprised if you would be asleep too at this time. But if you were ever to look at the posts and know that it is time for my character to take action, you may bot him for the sake of keeping up a little speed of this scenario.

Also, am I to have a background ready? Or am I allowed to make one as we go? Forgot to write something for this character.

You needn't have a background, they aren't necessary to PFS play. Kind of going back to your thoughts on roleplay, I don't tend to directly share the backgrounds of my characters, unless parts of them make for good roleplay in the situation. I certainly don't type them out in my profiles; I remember them fine and that would make for a lot of work!

Hi there. I'm a friend of Ironshanks Magee's player, and he had an emergency come up and asked that I check in with his games to let everyone know. He will likely not be able to post at all for the next few days.

OK, thanks for letting us know. I hope all is OK.

Hope everything's getting ok again! Tell him to take his time! And thanks for letting us know!

Ya I'm very sorry to have up and vanished for the last week but we've had a sudden death in the family and I've been away from home. I won't be back to a normal schedule until likely Monday. I'll try to get semi caught up and add in a brief post before then.

Thanks

I'm sorry to hear that and I'm sorry for your loss! Take your time!

Don't feel sorry for us, your life comes first. No need to bring yourself further down lamenting poor ol' us.

Well, I can't add images from urls on my mobile phone. Could somebody please add four dogs on the left side of the map and move your tokens to the right side of the map?

Thank you very much!

Good news: I think we are going to finish this session before Outpost I. Just in case you'd like to use your character.

Ok good, I was making that assumption and have him signed up. I've played this adventure before so had an idea on our progress. Quite a nice little adventure for sure.

Please, if you haven't done so already, drop your name, character name, PFS#, faction and dj roll.

Well played everyone...and thanks for running the game GM Baerlie.

Chronicles

Thanks for playing! Good luck at Outpost!

Looks good. Thanks for running the game, and on such a quick turn around. Hope you enjoy Outpost as well!

Thank you very much for running, that was a lot shorter than I had anticipated.

It did feel a bit short, but quite well described! I was a bit lax near the end, sorry.

It’s weird how quickly some of these scenarios run in PbP. We talked ourselves out of combat once...maybe twice. That tends to shorten things by a few days in PbP.

You talked yourself out of combat once (Enderios), but this was intended by the scenario writer. Enderios is not a headless brute.

If you wanted, you could have fought Koriana as well, but it was also intended by the scenario writer to find a peaceful solution.

Further, you posted frequently, this helps keeping it short.

Ya when I played this in classic we fought the alchemist and Talia didn't leave the city. Andares ended up going to jail.

That's what makes this such a great scenario...there are meaningful decisions to make that can alter the experience accordingly. Having a great GM and such an actively posting group was frosting on the cake!

Thanks for the game! Sorry for my lack of inactivity. It was difficult for me to see an opportunity to interact and decide how to help the campaign. Role playing was harder than I thought! But thanks again, now I know what to expect on future scenarios and such.

Diplomacy saves the day again. Thanks for running this!
