Classic PFS Risen from the Sands (2-4) (Inactive)

Game Master Oykiv

Please, everybody put the information necesary to report the game:

Character name
PFS character number
Faction
Day job

Malaika de'Morcaine
30504-5
Sovereign Court
none

Character: Bjor Blutschanuze (Bloodsnout for english speakers ;) )
Player: sertaki
PFS # 93773-2
Faction: Grand Lodge
No Day Job

checking in
Character: Zanu Turok
Player: Doublegold
PFS # 135676-3
Faction: Osirion
craft armor: 10 + 1d20 ⇒ 10 + (20) = 30

An antitoxin and antiplague would not be an unreasonable purchase if scorpions are a serious possibility and we are going into a tomb. Both tend to have plenty of poison and disease checks.

Those are pretty good idea Bjor would never have without ever experiencing such problems before :)

You might want to suggest these to him.

I have a level 4 PC I can apply this to. Should I add the name, PFS and Faction of that character?

Character name
PFS character number
Faction
Day job

@Seoni, not now, but put it when you end the adventure.
Abaal and Kyshkumen are the ones pending, but I can obtain that information if needed. Let´s start.

By the way, antiplague and antitoxine are a good idea in many situations. I´m in a game in a river where our paladin had lost 4 points of strengh due to a bad Fort save roll.

Player=Kyshkumen
Character=Kyshkumen
PFS# 28641-8
Faction=Dark archives

As a side note, Abaal has a +2 mod to initiative (not +0 as listed).

Changed

Appologies, was really sick the past few days.

Going to a local convention tommorow, might not be able to post until Monday.
Just wanted to warn you ;)

@Malaika: I hope you are better now!

Have fun, you deserved it for finish the pyramid!

@Malaika. I also hope you´re better. Now I have few time and haven´t find enough to answer you.

An undead feline count as a puppie?

Also, this weekend I´m in a trip and woun´t be abe to post.

I'm out until sunday. Please wait me

Thanks for waiting me. I´m here againg and don´t plan to have more interruptions.

Stuff happens, people wait. no big deal ;)

I'll be traveling for the next two days. I'll probably fail to post during at least one of those days, so feel free to bot me if needed.

Seoni will keep using burning hands on the swarm. Burn them all!

Trying to clarify where is the game at this moment.

You are in what can be considered as an "optional encounter" but instead of being optional due of time constraints, is optional depending of how you act. There are some behaviours that can trigger combat (attacking them, the more obvious).

When you first interacted with them I made some rolls, failed by Seoni and Bjor (so please don´t make a will check), and passed by Abaar. I understand that, based on the information Abaal information you attack them. But for now, he hadn´t shared it (if it´s to talk about it far from them or for another reason, I don´t know).

I should have made the check for Kyshkumen when he started to talk with the women, but didn´t realiza that due to hard time at job, and not believing he was going to attack.

I understant if you don´t trust someone who have been entombed during millenia, but that don´t mean necesarily they´re dangerous to you (And if you play the right games, this will be not the last time you talk with people entombed by millenia)

So, taking all in account, I think now be face combat y Kysh pass his check (and sees what Abaal had spoileredor), or if I have a good reason to attack them (please, share it with us).

I see why this may appear problematic, I don't like to murder hobo everything myself. However I did let diplomacy have it's chance and nothing came of it, while Kyshkumen still saw a way forward. I see him as more of action first and explanation later kind of guy.

"Well, sticking a dagger in your chest seemed like good idea at the time."
That kind of explanation? ^^

It looks like.

Never mind, even if we differ in what´s aceptable and what not, he has discoveredsomething else wrong about them.

Two things:

First, checking it with a VO I realized the aure should affected you as soon as you were near the mummy. It´s a litle nonsensical someone demands you to postrate and venerate him if you´re paralyzed and can do nothing. But it will change the upcoming combat. We can retcon or we can work on it from now (I´m thinking in the usual evil speech that let the heroes have time to recover).

Also, when Bot-Kyra is up again, I don´t mind if someone wants to dictate her actions, so I don´t play in both sides.

Oddly, I'm playing Kyra (4th level) in another game, I would differ to someone who is currently paralyzed (assuming those people still are).

Seoni will probably spend her time protecting Kyra. We need channelling and fast.

I'm fine going as is - you can saw he suppressed his aura long enough to watch us bow before him, and spent his first turn reactivating it. We should be unaffected for 24 hours, anyway.

I suppose this might not be the best time to play a cleric for the first time huh? ^^

In case anyone is wondering it, no, Bot-Kyra can´t be elected for the sacrifice. :D

But she's still paralyzed....

It´s a good argument. I was thinking only in voluntary sacrifices.

Another two things:
In my opinion, when an scenario or module says a range of leves as tier, the expected is being in the middle. For difficulty, gold, difficulties expected, etc And this scenario was created before 4th season, so it´s balanced for a party of 6 level 3 characters.

You´re doing it, more a less well. Both enemies have lost half hp or more, and all your group is still alive. I know, with such attacks it can be granted for when the combat ends, but you have good possibilities to win.

I was, in all truth, just kidding.

I need to know if that was the last battle or if there is one more, because this guy is being sucked into another game that I signed up for about 2 months ago.

You had fought the hardest battles. The rest will be done in a hurry as you don´t want to spend a lot of time checking the pyramid with an ill companion.

Once Seoni rolls to see if she survives, I´ll write a conclusion.

I send the chronicle sheets ASAP, I wound´t have a pdf printer until tuesday for sure, but will try to solve this. If you need it, this adventure rewards with 1 XP, 1 PP and 1237 gold.

I vote we put them down. We're in the middle of nowhere, who's ever going to know?

Failing that, I suppose we use our hard killed-for money to pay for some healing back in civilization.

Looks like Seoni will make it out alright, especially if Kyra keeps me going.
Now, to look up the price of restoration...

Hello GM. Can you apply this chronicle sheet to:

Character name : Cirri Merryweather
PFS character number : 133608-3
Faction : Grand Lodge
Day job : Perform(Dance): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

HERE are the chronicles. And yes, all of you obtainded 2 PPs, I reread the rules for this chronicle and there were ways to obtain the second PP.

Seoni, day jobs can only be done with the pregen, not with the character you will apply the chronicle to.

Abaal, I took ten for your day job.

Hope all of you had fun!!!

Thanks for the great run, GM!

Thanks!

But, wrong Abaal. Sorry for the confusion but it's an ongoing issue that has yet to be fixed--and probably never will be--thank you, PFS....

Player Great Green God
Character Abaal Zadeir, Sword of Katapesh
PFS # 139009-9
Faction Dark Archive
Day Job Craft (calligraphy) +6

Thanks for running GM, I had a lot of fun. Glad everyone made it out alive.

But, wrong Abaal. Sorry for the confusion but it's an ongoing issue that has yet to be fixed--and probably never will be--thank you, PFS....

I feel your pain. My -1 should been reported as dead, but never was done, and now he shares the chronicles with my -7. Fortunately all his games were run by the same GM, if not it will be hard to explain.

I changed the report to PFS # 139009-9

well then, thx for the game Oykiv ;)

was a bit crawl-heavy but fun group to crawl with!

Hope all of you had fun.

I´ll close the thread.

I want to apologize to you folks for disappearing like that. That is not normally the way I behave. Besides witch I was having fun and enjoying the romp against the badguys.
The reason (not an excuse) was that I got completely hacked. All of my public accounts were screwed up. Offensive emails were sent to all my contacts. Information stolen. Business relationships were strained. Etc… By the time I got most of that straightened out and repaired, I just couldn't bare the thought of spending more time online just for the fun of it.
Again, I'm sorry for leaving you in the lurch like that. It is not typical behavior for me.

Trying to recruit a well rounded party for a Risen from the sands.

Right now we have two level 2 fighters. It will be great if someone come to cover some other roles; healer, scholar, buffer, etc.

Disclaimer: The module has some reputation of being deadly if unprepared, or you´re only trick don´t work. Also, in our local lodge, there was a F2F which lasts 10 minutes: introduction, some exploration and "run from your life"

Doesn't this one require you to use the included pregens?

Shouldn't have to if you play it using the regular module rules.

I'd play but both my characters in tier are martial types.

Doesn't this one require you to use the included pregens?

Nope, they are legal but not required.

Perhaps I can be of assistance.
.
Healing (nearly always useful), channel vs. undead (sounds useful in this one), most knowledge skills at +7.
But only second level and quite squishy even for a squishy.

Bringing in my Magus

Still room for an unchained rogue?

I can bring in the Sorceress Pregen at level 4 if you are still looking for room.

Let´s summarize the party from now.

Bjor Blutschnauze Fighter level 2
Abaal Zadeir, Sword of Katapesh Fighter level 2
Malaika de'Morcaine Oracle level 2
Zanu Turok Magus level 2
Kyshkumen Silentblade Unchained rogue level 3
chadius Sorceress Pregen at level 4

I´ll send a PM to Bjor and Abaal, so they come here. And I´ll open the gameplay and discussion thread.

So I've teleported here then have I?

I'll try and get everything updated tonight. I have a few things I need to look into, like retraining double slice since it does not work with dex damage.

Whoops. too late.

ah right - teleportation. Forgot about that - was writing under the assumption of having enough time for a bad sunburn ^^

Picked up a composite shortbow with a +1 str modifier and 10 adamantine arrows. Also retrained double slice for 5 prestige for improve init.

Looking a the big Ulfen askance, "You're not frightened are you?"
