Chyro's Outpost game: Voice in the Void (Inactive)

Game Master Chyrone

No worries, that damn brown mold literally exists to mess with players who haven't encountered it before... I gotta admit, when I'm GMing it's a favorite of mine to use, because everyone assumes "Fight cold with fire" but the reason it does cold damage is that brown mold eats heat, including body heat. Blast it with fire damage, and all you do is make it VERY happy.

I once had a player make that mistake and drop a fireball on one in a small enclosed space. It ended badly there to.

Also, Fali, Monty has a stash of gold saved up that he was gonna use to buy that flail, but it wouldn't be Monty if he didn't use it to save Fali, so that should help with getting you back on your feet.

Darren will also use some of the mission's proceeds to help pay for spellcasting if need be.

@ Faliana, when it instantly grows to big size like that, little time to react.

@ Darren, nah, Monty's comment in gameplay makes perfect sense, no need to pay for that just yet.

Just a crapload of healing to do, for sure.

I'm going travelling soon! It's Sunday evening in Japan now and I will be getting on a plane early Tuesday morning. But tomorrow is also going to be very busy and I might not get a post up. I can post from my phone but it might be fairly short. I should be back to regular next Japan Sunday.

I went on vacation to Japan last year. Three weeks was much too short.

:)

Ohh, where did you go? I'm heading to Okinawa the Hawaii of Japan.

I flew in on Fukuoka.
't was a laugh to see the customs guy look up when i was in front of his desk. Kudos on the money exchange machine there.

Next Nagasaki. The visit to the nuclear bomb museum/memorial had more an impact on me than expected. ='(
Less so on the others in the group (all senior couples, so their views varied).

Unzen-Amakusa National Park.

Amakusa, then on a stop at the island of Tsuji-shima.
Boat trip to see dolphins up close! Really tricky to get proper shots.

Usuki next. I booked a homestay, so i got to spend the night at a home of a retired couple in the countryside. Delicious dinner, breakfast & a bento for the next lunch. (mouth waters at thinking back) We made a pumpkin sponge cake too, so delicious!
Sadly i lost his businesscard, so no way to thank them afterwards.

Matsuyama. Impressive castle sight seeing.

After a few minor stops, Kyoto.
Of course, interests to see things, vary with age.

As a group, we went to see part of the city, not a geisha i sight, lol.
Save one, whom we only saw a split second as she stepped into her hideout. (house down a quiet narrow street)

Shinkansen towards Tokyo. Mount Fuji was almost entirely covered in fog that day, so little to see from it.

Akihabara was originally on the program, but was obviously scrapped due to the grup's composition. (grumble at hearing that initially)
So i went there on my free day, it was fun to see.
I went into one of those cafes too, the Granvania. It's more of a restaurant, so it suited my lunch appetite just fine.
I had the funniest rice & chicken omelet ever, all decorated with the date & a Kitty, all in ketchup. =^^=

Highlights between:

* That park with all the deer walking loose, funny to see them scare the midle school students, merely by nibbling their brochures.

* Temples, nice to see, but eventually too much if the guide wants us to see one almost every day.

Regrets, i could not book one that included cultural festivals & fireworks, which i would have loved to see.

To me it was memorable, fun & educational.

And holy hell, this turned into a long post. ^^'

We're little over a month away from Outpost closure, just as a fyi.

Hey guys, i found a matching soundtrack for this mission.

Here

Anyone ever played that game?
It has some of the best soundtracks ever. :)

Heyoh! I'm back from my vacation and had a great time! I said I was going to try getting back to normal posting but I ended up having a really busy day yesterday. I'll read the thread and get an update in shortly!

My estimate was 3 rounds tops on this encounter's duration, after seeing the chimera go down that quickly.

I wonder if i'll be proven wrong? :)

A heal check DC 15 (1st aid) can stabilize, since Armik doesn't stabilize on his own with that 10.

So there's additional DR that prevents Brady's unarmed strike from doing its full damage, above and beyond what we would expect from hardness? Sorry to be so nit-picky, but Brady has some options via Martial Flexibility, but they would be different depending on if I'm trying to overcome hardness or DR.

Certain weapons just can’t effectively deal damage to certain objects. For example, a bludgeoning weapon cannot be used to damage a rope.

In this case, it's like trying to break a very flexible meat rope by hitting it with a hammer.

Brady, what did you have in mind for Martial flexibility?

I'm gone for most of the afternoon for a job interview and chores thereafter, so i'll likely not post until somewhere this evening.

(for me that is, it'll be probably lunchbreak time for you guys) :P

If anyone wants to bot Brady, be my guest, otherwise i'll do so when i have time again.

Sorry, had a migraine yesterday and couldn't post. I'm posting this message in all of my games and circling back around to catch up. Give me up to a couple of hours to catch up; thanks!

For those looking into more Blackros museum madness..

Season 2 has The Penumbral Accords. (tier 1-2 & 4-5)
Season 3 has Echoes of the Overwatched. (tier 1-2 & 4-5)
Season 9 has Oath of the Overwatched. (tier 5-6 & 8-9)

And to answer Darren's question from gameplay, there are 5 tendrils connecting Imrizade to the gate.
3/5 destroyed.

Now to see if Faliana (or anyone on her behalf) can get the other wand to work. I don't want to roll poorly on it. :/

Armik has a wand on his person as well.

That's the one she just took. :)

Pertinent question for the next round of combat.

Can the brain case be picked up?

Sadly not. It is attached to the gate.

You can remove it with str check 25, or outright wreck it.

Monty and the crew have some unresolved issues with the blakros museum, so let's see if this brings closure or more trauma!

I'd say additional mental traumas from Blackros is now confirmed.

P.S. Thanks Fali, for taking so much effort to keep me alive. Much appreciated!

Dicegods be praised. :P

I'm not having somebody die on me if I can do anything to help it!

Sugoi!

Guess who is going to buy a potion with a tag that says "In case of emergency, pour into this demon's mouth."

A potion of infernal healing, perhaps?

Yeah, this hit home for me in more than one game recently. All my PCs are getting potions at the next opportunity.

Always useful, -always- useful. :)

I've to say, this was quite a run.

I'm glad it didn't turn into casualties, death came too close for comfort.

Likewise, this is the 1st game where there's been so much flirting and kissing going on. Will that turn into a marriage??

Time saving, i'll share there's nothing but trouble in the box.

The good kind of trouble?

As far as marriage goes, I'm not opposed to the idea, but Monty should have some definite say in this as well. For right now it's a possibility, but I haven't made any plans to play her any further just yet. Hey Monty feel up for another adventrue somewhere? Brady, Darren and Armik are definitely welcome, too.

On a different note, I need to get some sleep tonight, so I'll get a nice finisher post up tomorrow.

The annoying sort of trouble that requires splash weapons.

Yuck, fine with avoiding swarms.

And I'm certainly not opposed to the idea either. I think it'd be ultra super adorable. I'd love to go on some more adventures with Fali, maybe have that wedding at some point. :)

Heh, if you want, we could even have them pick up a True Love Locket at some point. ;P

Ok, on to boon rolls.

Armik: 1d20 ⇒ 20 1d4 ⇒ 2
Brady: 1d20 ⇒ 2
Darren: 1d20 ⇒ 1 1d4 ⇒ 4
Faliana: 1d20 ⇒ 10
Monty: 1d20 ⇒ 15

GM: 1d20 ⇒ 13

Armik & Darren get boons!

And with that, this one's a wrap.
Thanks to everyone for playing. :)

Thanks everyone for playing (and doggedly keeping me alive). Time to boost that will save.

Thanks to GM Chyro for the preparation and execution of a fun scenario!

Flipping death the finger is always fun.

Armik & Darren,

Can you PM me your email? I need to relay them on the reporting form to have you guys receive your boons.

Huzzah for boons! Great session. You did fantastically, Chyro. And sorry to everyone else for not having a backup weapon. It was an oversight I didn't realize until it was too late.

Where can we pick up our chronicle sheets? I didn't see where they were and this has been marked as completed.

Oh, good I was just wondering this myself. Hmmm, we might need to send him a PM as well, cause he might not see this.

Hey folks,

Just turning this to momentarily active to share the link to chronicles

If everyone can post when they've got theirs, i will then set this inactive again.

:)

Printing mine now, thanks!

You're welcome. :)

Say, do any among you GM PFS games?
If so, any planned for the near future?

All good, thanks!

I do, but I need to finish up a module that I'm running first. Keep an eye on the flaxseed lodge, that's where I recruit.

Thanks, I've received mine! A copy downloaded and saved.

Can you add Brady's day job roll to his sheet please? Brady receives a minimum of 25 gp due to a faction reward.

Day Job, profession (merchant), traveller's any-tool: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 2 = 17

Brady also pulls Nigel aside before he leaves.

Oh, that's right.
