Blood Under Absalom -- A Multitable PbP special (GM Hmm's table) (Inactive)

Game Master Hmm

Haha, not necessarily a druid monk, but basically, what ended up happening was I applied Gallows chronicle 1 to Tiffany so she could be level 2. Then, my goal was to get my unchained rogue to level 4-5 to play with the Red Arm group, so I'd apply the last two Gallows chronicles to him. The problem was unless you apply all three chronicles to a single character, you won't get a bonus chronicle. I could have not taken a bonus chronicle, but I only play PbP and would hate to miss out on a full level chronicle!

With Hmm's help, we found a way to get Disable Device on Tiffany so that she'd be able to assist in the upcoming Red Arm's Sun Orchid Scheme, and worshiping Irori was one of the ways to get it, so I had to work in some flavor for it to make sense :)

Oh, so you're bringing the frog then and not the faux wizard?

... If you'll have her, yup!

Also 80 gold for the fancy dress!

But of course! Mr Peppers laments the opportunity to outclass his 'rival' arcane weilder, but Tiff played out nicely. Very impressed with the KO fisticuffs during the opera!

PS HMM: Not sure if you put in feedback on how adventures are written up, but that opera scene and forcing someone to wear heavy armor... ouch. They should either have only 2 heavy armors out of the 8 choices or mix in some lighter armors. I was pretty surprised we didn't do much worse in that encounter. The punching frog was pretty amazing.

Go here. Find the tiny Write a Review Link, and write your review.

As you can tell, a lot of people think this special is on the wonky side.

Hmm

I had a lot of fun. Like you said, this was a combat heavy scenario, and it was easy for spell casters to run out of magic. So I kind of cheated and brought my Level 3 sorcerer. I remember playing the Sky Key Solution with my low level Magus and it was tough to choose spells.

An encounter that started us naked was very interesting. Or at the very least without armor. I also liked the opportunities to charm my opponents, since many scenarios don't use charm.

I'll add a review for this.

Okay, so I have the chronicles half done but am unlikely to finish them before Monday since I have a real life game to prep tonight. Is anyone in a super hurry to get theirs?

Hmm

Messing around with my character but no rush. I assume its the standard 400ish gold, 2 PP and 1 XP correct?

I'm in no rush. By the way, I'll be on a business trip tomorrow until about Wednesday. It's at UCLA so I should have internet.

Never mind. I was able to put together the last ones. Please check!

BuA Chronicles

Looks good, many thanks HMM. Love your GM style and flair. Please don't burn yourself out!

Man it still stings to lose out on 2PP/Fame and more than half the gold for that failed Confirmation :(

Now to find another game to get that last 1xp before having to decide on Mort...the final frontier... Gloomhollow!

Mort, I will be running Master of the Fallen fortress, starting next week. Happy to have you (and others from this table if interested)

Funny you should say that. I was feeling sort of burned out today. However, getting one of the little tasks that is hanging over my head done today helped a bit.

:)

I still have to report this, which means finding where they've hidden the reporting links this time. I think I have to look at my account to get there...

At any rate, that'll be the next step. I might put it together tonight when I am not prepping.

Hugs all.

Hmm

Sounds good G! Just send me a msg or however with the link when you're ready! (That is an evergreen correct? I've played it on another toon a little while ago fyi.)

Mort, I will be running Master of the Fallen fortress, starting next week. Happy to have you (and others from this table if interested)

That's wonderful, Magabeus. Though Modules don't do much to repair fame, alas. I wish they counted for more prestige!

Hmm

PS Magabeus, working with you was one of the BEST parts of this special for me, and that is saying alot, since I had such an awesome group!

Thanks for the chronicle! I notice you didn't take the 81 gp off of my sheet for the Courtier's Outfit + Jewelry.

Thanks for the chronicle and great game, Hmm.

Magabeus, I'm going to fry up a new character or bring my grapple monk... hah. May I join your MoFF table?

Thanks for the chronicle! I notice you didn't take the 81 gp off of my sheet for the Courtier's Outfit + Jewelry.

Oops. The correction will have to wait until Monday. Unless you want to write it in on your next chronicle?

Hmm

And now we're reported!

I will likely close this shop on Monday, once everyone has their Easter Eggs in. Thanks for being the best group of players (and lurkers) a GM can ask for!

Hmm

I can wait until Monday, Sheela's in no rush.

A quick question... since you can change your character (and their gear) up as much as you want before starting your first game at level 2, do you really even need to keep track of gold spent? Seems like gold/PP gained is all you need to worry about until you get your first level 2+ chronicle sheet. Or am I missing something.

You're not. PP expended is important -- that cannot be taken back. But yes I should have left all the level 1's gold spent blank.

I am still getting used to the "Omaha" method. Sigh. I know that complete and resolved chronicles are important, but I am terrible at them.

Hmm

If there's still room, I'd be interested in MotFF too!

Also my chronicle looks good except Corona's faction is Silver Crusade instead of Sovereign Court! No rush on correcting it though, I know you're busy this weekend :)

*edit* Also, you Red Arm folks are fantastic and I'd be happy to play with any of you anytime. If you ever need an alternate or whatnot, give me a holler :)

Great table guys, looks like you had a blast!

Always good that people managed to have an excellent adventure and take it all in the spirit in which the scenario is intended :)

Link to MotFF discussion thread.

Mort and Corona: you have a place. I have also reserved a place for Gerald who asked for this module in the Flaxseed Lodge.

If other players also want a place: make sure you dot in discussion before Monday Morning (CET). If more than 3 from your table are interested I will select based on posting order, that is the most simple method for me, although I know it is not fair at all, my apologies for that.

Tomorrow morning I will select any further players from the sign-up in the Flaxseed Lodge and recruitment will be closed.

Hmm, i assume Shifty will mass process the reporting everything, similar to gameday?

As it's not in my sessions list.

I'm wondering if i should sign up for Magebeus' MotFF, for fun's sake.
Though i'm worried in advance about the last encounter, since saves.. ^^

Your GM handles reporting as a delegate. I assume Hmm will do that after the weekend. I did all the reporting for the last special and that was quite the chore.

As for MotFF: no guts, no glory! ;-)

(Hisssss)

Are you making fun of me, mammal? :P

Wow, a certificate. Thanks!

Congrats on the prizes guys!

Thanks to Hmm for running a great game!

(And thanks to Magabeus for the invite to MotFF!)

That is ODD. I went through and reported, and now cannot find the game in my sessions. But swear it was there before.

I will report again.

Hmm

Okay. Reported AGAIN.

It appears under the reported sessions, but it timetraveled back to January 18, the scenarios start date. Do you see it, Sophia?

Hmm

Before I close this out, do all chronicles look good? Please check now!

Looks good here!

si!

Thanks for correcting my chronicle. It looks great.

Looks ok to me, thanks.

Looks good to me and I've saved it. Thanks Hmm!

Thank you, all!
