A Vision of Brute Squad (Inactive)

Game Master ThorGN

I'll drop my campaigning for a Raise Dead thread, and just focus on the fight.

My last post had a 13 to grapple the mage, and Dasiji called out for someone to support Noa. If she hit, and someone does support her, this should be over here. Back at the table, you've all got your eyes back, so show us what you would have done if you weren't blinded.

I guess there's no reason to be gentle. On the other hand, we do still have that consulate side mission, and not having just killed two of that nation might be best. :)

It's a worthy campaign, and some very outside-of-the-box thinking, but the PFS rules are a bit of a straitjacket in this case. :(

As it turns out, they've tightened further since the version I was quoting (v3.0.2, 10/10) in the new fourth season version (v4.2, 8/12).

Test. Test.

Hope that makes you feel better. ;)

Dude, if you are a Human Sorc, I don't think that avatar fits. Definitely not Human.

Haunted Fey Aspect - y'know, for when he learns it. avatars and icons are as much about attitude and mood as physical resemblance. Kort is charisma, and attitude - he's elemental, and primal, and not strong on the whole impulse control thing.

That fits well, then. :)

If the end of combat allows the end of the scenario, I won't delay us with drama. I'd like Noa to complete the faction mission she got, but am willing to gloss over that, too, or even lose the point, as I feel I've probably slowed progress more than it was thought I would, when I was invited to join the Brute Squad.

I'll also accept if some plurality of you would prefer I change to stay more in the visible rails. I will however point out, I wanted to make the trade in a room. Always start the game with a curveball. They did.

We're not in a convention slot here, and I'm not in any rush. For me, the roleplaying is half of the point; but perhaps we should use FlexTime more, to keep events moving along for the action-oriented ones.

Ok! 401 gold for the session, minus any expenditures. Roll your Day Job checks if you have them, Shop/Level if need be, and move to the new thread.

Let's see... I spent 1 silver on ale, and then I guess I paid the 25 gold for our boat ride. No prob, I have plenty. How much was the stable rental?

I just recently discovered that Hero Lab is wrong about the free outfit being weightless, which is annoying. So I'll be accounting for that now.

2nd level, +1 hp favored class bonus, Archery combat style, Rapid Shot bonus feat. Still need to choose skills and buy stuff.

Are you going to email us our sheets?

I have the following Purchases

2 Prestige points for a wand of CLW

Heal Bot activate.

Day Job, Sing Sing a lovely tune for Sarenrae, 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

401 will go to my account.

Yes, email is the plan. You can write in purchases when you get the sheet.

Okay, I'll assume that the stable rental was included in the gold that Noa put down.

Dasiji wanted a Holiday Boon, anyone else? It can be applied to a different character if you don’t want it on this one, or you died.

I used it on a Magus I have.

Noa's day job roll, Perform check w/ +13

1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24

So close... How much money is that?

And did she get the faction mish done?

20 gold, and yes.

Now that my Fame is 5+, I can purchase anything worth up to 500 gp -- such as an ioun torch -- even if it isn't on a chronicle sheet. Yes?

Correct.

GM Brute Squad -

Why - a boon you say? Actually, the holiday boon makes infinitely more sense for Kort than for my other PFS characters (living and dead). And starting a bit behind the eight ball, he'll need every leg up he can find.

So yes, please. One boon for the skinny orphan kid in the corner please!

Going to buy (RP:honor Aesantiel by claiming) a Mwk Flute. I know Aes' flute wasn't masterwork, but it is now, having a haunted quality to it's notes, at least when played by those who knew Aes in life. 100GP.

Also buying a Cold Iron Cestus and a Silvered Cestus. 10GP and 25GP

Not sure if these go here or in the other discuss. Seemed here?

Might as well finish up here. I did a bunch of buying and selling already, but I wasn't sure if it was time for cold iron and silver. In that case, I'll replace my plain arrows and darts with cold iron, get a couple of batches of silver blanch for the arrows, and replace my hidden dagger with a silver one in case of DR 10 (since my power attack with a greatsword is still better at 5). And I think I'll un-masterwork the new bongos, since he wouldn't be able to tell the difference anyway. ;)

I don't know that it's 'time' for the metals, more that it's time for the cesti, given we're likely to be walking around in less than combat-ready fashion. Studded gloves less splashy than a falchion, is Noa's thinking. And then, she thinks, sure, why not make them pretty? I know PFS doesn't care, so long as the bookwork adds to zero, so the 100GP for the flute will be RP as mostly to get a pair of Cesti in Iron-and-silver, with the important bits alternating between them. A girl wants to look good, when she's dressed for punching face. :)

Excellent points! I think I'll replace some of my darts with a cold iron dagger and a second spring-loaded wrist sheath, in case of a social event where being heavily-armed is a faux pas.

And one helping of Acid for the skinny kid - good recommendation Noa. Unlimited 1d3+2 (one for bloodline, one for Focus) is much better than standard 1d3.

Noa was raised by a Drow adventuress. :)

Kort, buy more than one. Once you have it, you'll find places you'll want to use it. Making improvised traps, swallow-whole monsters (probably not in this next scenario...), who knows?

There's an early Noa had the Varisian Bladed Scarf proficiency, in a RoRL that failed. Noa has scarves, but not that kind. That would be perfect for under-cover readiness.

Dasiji, are you taking flute? You had mentioned drums? I ask because the Mwk flute gives +2, and has history, now. PFS lets you use it. If you got the perform skill, I expect we could transfer it someday, somehow.

Eh, just not how I see the character. He's Ringo. He can keep a rhythm! Yay! ;)

Okay, now I think I'm done. Edit: fixed.

Hmmm. The mithral cookware in UE is priced according to the mithral weight, not the steel weight. If they're not pranking us, then I can replace the silver dagger with a masterwork mithral version for 252 gp. That's over half of my cash, but it's +1 to hit and +1 to damage vs. non-masterwork alchemical silver, and I can picture keeping it as a backup weapon for a very long time to come. Hmmm.

Hmmm, indeed. If such is availableto Noa, let's have the Centaurs make a give of a pair. They had intended it for Aesantiel, you see. But with her dead...

And then of course we pay the PFS cost.

Ah! Or two cestuses for the monk -- same weight, so 255 gp each -- and I can replace the spiked gauntlet with a superior item, instead of adding a second dagger in a second wrist sheath. And you keep your plan of gloves.

ETA: I think I'll stick with a hidden dagger -- spring-loaded wrist sheathes make them a swift action to retrieve -- just in case someone takes exception to reinforced gloves with wicked spikes. But of course, the centaurs could easily have made one weapon a cestus, if that's what you'd prefer. ;)

If such is available to Noa

Since mithral isn't dragonhide, I think it's always available (Guide to Pathfinder Society Organized Play v4.2, pgs. 24-25).
