DM B's PFS PbP Game Day 3: S0-13 The Prince of Augustana (Inactive)

Game Master Beckett

Ok, before anyone posts anything else, and only once you have gotten your character and avatar mostly picked and set up, please post the following info for me. I like to do it first thing in the Discussion thread so that it is all located in one place, and easy to find near the end. All of this will be used on the Chronicle Sheets, as well as some of it for reporting, (as for Game Days, the DM's do not directly report the game themselves). So, with that in mind, please double check that the info is correct, as after I report it, I myself can not edit it, I need to contact a VC to do it, and it has happened a few times already :P

1.) Player Name (or Nickname)
2.) Character Name
3.) PFS Number and Character ID
4.) Faction
5.) Day Job Roll (or note that you do not have one)

6.) Anything pregame purchases you need recorded
7.) Anything else you might need recorded on a Chronicle.

When we get towards the end, I'll ask again, just to see if there are any changes before reporting.

Once I have everyone's info, then we can use this as a normal Discussion Thread.

I'm going to call it there, so this is the final roster for play.

1.) Letcherman -> Mahd Gajol (Mag 1)
2.) DoubleGold -> Mandower (Brb 1)
3.) CrystalStorm -> Sandra Day (Mnk 1)
4.) Eben -> Mors Buolgun (WrP 1)
5.) Lekku -> Thaddeus (Inq 1)
6.) Sarpadian -> ?? (Alc 2) or (Sor 1)

I am now also opening up the Game Play Thread. For now, please only post in it once, with the character you will be playing, just to "dot". By doing that, you will then be able to see any new updates to any of these threads, an the entire campaign will be listed under your "My Campaigns" tab.

1.) Ben Jolly
2.) Mors Buolgun
3.) 121383-4
4.) Silver Crusade
5.) Day Job: None

6.) Will update as soon as I can, though will include a bastard sword and better armor

1.) Player Name (or Nickname) Doublegold
2.) Character Name: Mandower Steel strong
3.) PFS Number and Character ID: #135676-6
4.) Faction Osirion, or the replacment.
5.) Day Job Roll (or note that you do not have one) perform wind instruments: 9 + 1d20 ⇒ 9 + (12) = 21
6.) any gear I have purchased and sold back is in profile if not already recorded on the chronicle, which would be his first chronicle.

Edit: oops looking on the wrong campaign. And that makes my roll result go up by 1, since this alias has a 9 instead of an 8.

Doublegold, I thought you were playing Mandower?

Magus(Mymadarch) - lv 1 - HP:10/10 | AC:16 | T:13 | FF:13 | Init:+3 | Perc:4 | Low Light-Vision | CMB: +2 | CMD:15 | Fort:+4 Ref:+3 W:+5

1.)Letcherman
2.)Mahd Gajol
3.)PFS #: 158679-1
4.)Sczarni
5.)Performer
6.)2 Chakrams (I would like make an amendment to the rule for the Chakram omitting the negative consequences for using it in melee combat as I will be using one with a cross bar similar to that featured in Xena post season 5. If not I will take the starknife), Magus's kit, Studded Leather Armor.
1(or 24) + 22 + 25 = 48(or 71)
7.)I have a necklace(Of obvious Orcish design) of no particular monitary value given to me by the Orc who raised me.

Within a week. Getting stoked! Let's get our characters in to Beckett and approved people! :D

Still here, still ready to rock!

DM Beckett, I think we just finished the last fight in the game Mors/Thad are currently in. So hopefully we'll be getting our Chronicle and making any gear changes soon.

Usually if you let the DM know, they can help you out, giving you the ok that its just the wrap up left and what the Chronicle will offer you.

Confirmation is pretty much wrapped. Mors will be updated tomorrow, with his Chronicle Sheet on Friday (supposedly).

I'll list gear changes tomorrow, as well.

Mors is updated!

Ok, looks like I still need some info from people.

Player: Jimmy Lomax
Character: Thaddeus Silverhorn
PFS # 125008-3
Faction: Sovereign Court
Day Job: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

Will list gear purchases tomorrow. My chronicle should be ready then, as well.

Cool. Then I'm ready to rock when the game goes live. :)

One note, I think I'll still be able to post this weekend, but I'm on the road ... it could be spotty. I'll try not to let the game's kickoff suffer.

Player: Sarpadian
Character: Leb Unin
PFS #133867-3
Faction: Freedom's Edge
Day Job: "Take 10" on Craft (alchemy) for a 22.

So I guess I'll go with the star knife.

If I could select an avatar picture, I would. I can't seem to find where to do so.

A gnome goes to one knee with a flourish. "I am Leb Unin, my Prince. I was raised here, but I have been away for quite some time myself."

Clink on the PFS link near the top left of the screen. Then, click on the menu link that says "My Pathfinder Society". THIS LINK MAY OR MAY NOT WORK

Next, scroll down to the correct character, and hit the "Edit" button to the right of the name. I suggest right clicking an open as another window, simply because it is time sensitive, and if you need to look through a lot of pictures, it might not save. So make sure you remember what you searched, and look at the page number it was on, just in case.

That will give you the full Avatar/Character edit screen, allowing you to choose or change your picture, change Factions, and do all of the things you can do in the quick edit section. Just keep in mind it only has like a 10 or 15 minute time limit, or anything you change will not save.

Good choice, Leb!

Character: Retty Wiggum
PFS #: 113140-2
Day Job: None
Faction: The Exchange
Chronicles: The Infernal Vault, The Horn of Aroden, We Be Goblins!, We Be Goblins Too!

Mors's Chronicle sheet is linked up at the bottom of his profile page, now DM Beckett. Thanks for the patience. :)

Alas, I'm still waiting for mine.

Ok, since we have hit our frst map, I have created a link both under my avatar (The Prince), and also at the top of each page. The map is interactive, which means you can move your own character around. It will automatically save each time, (so if you are trying to measure out your movement, don't actually move or you will loose your place).

I've also rolled Init, and I try to use a sort of coded way of doing this.

I'll use this as an example here.

ROUND 1

Thaddeus (), Mahd (), Mandower (), and Leb ()
------------------------------------------------------
Thug 1 (), Thug 2 (), and Thug 3 ()
------------------------------------------------------
Retty () and Mors ()

The bolded section indicates which characters are currently up, while those that are striked through are those coming up soon. I don't mind if you post your action a bit early, especially if you might not be able to post later, but please keep in mind that if you post early, other characters might invalidate your action as they will still actually act first (it's best if you post things like, if I can move to _____, I'll attack with my mace, if I can't, I'll instead try to draw my bow and aim at ____).

Next to each name, I have included () as well, which is just something I use to remind everyone of certain things. If someone takes 5 damage, I'll put -5 in there to show they have taken 5 damage. Or if they are tripped, I'll generally turn their mini on the map as well as note in the init order, (-5, prone).

Let me know if you have any questions, and feel free to check out the map and let me know if there are any issues.

I haven't played an acrobatic type much, so this might be a stupid question.

If I choose to jump on one of the islands during my turn is the acrobatic roll part of my move action, or a separate, additional action?

It's part of your move. Generally you want to have at least a 10ft start before jumping.

Beckett, I just received my chronicle. It is also posted at the bottom of my bio.

Dang, Leb! O.o

Try to leave some for the rest of us. :)

Dang, Leb! O.o

It won't happen again :).

Psh. Forget that! Just tell me how to get sequential 20s!

Remind me real fast how your splash works on a Save

My understanding is that when an Alch crits with a bomb, the damage on the targeted opponent is doubled. The splash damage us not. So the splash target would have the standard DC for half the standard splash damage.

So how does this work for the knowledge and perception checks? Do we roll our skills in the gameplay thread, then look at the info if we exceed the DC, and possibly share the info with others?

Also, can I pick up one of the daggers from a corpse? Don't need to keep it after the scenario or anything, but in that fight I was thinking I'd be screwed if I threw my offhand dagger and lost it in the sewer.

Yep, in the game play thread, just roll your checks. If you beat the DC, then go ahead and read the spoiler.

If you want to share the info, (and you made the check to know it), then by all means, just like you would in a face to face game. I've seen a lot of players basically copy/paste the text and slightly edit it to be something they actually say in character.

There might also be a situation where you might not want to share the info, (probably rare), and that's fine too.

A good tactics is to first copy your whole text before posting, and instead Preview it, which will show you your roll's results. Make a few edits to incorporate that if you want, such as mentioning in character the spoiler information, (hey I see a hidden chest over there), make sure to copy the text again, (sometimes it gets eaten), and then Submit the post.

Yes, you can pick up and use the dagger, (or anything listed) for free. If, however, after the scenario you want to keep using it, you will need to actually buy it. That doesn't keep anyone else from also buying it, either. For things like potions, you can both use it in game and then buy it (to use it again) afterwards.

Thanks.

It's just a mundane, common dagger, correct?

Sounds like a good plan, Retty.

Could Thadd or Leb roll some kind of Alchemy check to figure out what the Filth Fever Tonics do?

Just so it's recorded somewhere, here's where the alchemical items are being held (based on people's stated actions):

2 acid flasks - Thadd
2 alchemist’s fires - Thadd
2 smokesticks - Thadd
2 tanglefoot bags - Leb
2 thunderstones - Leb
4 vials of filth fever tonic - Thadd
Book: Toxins and Countermeasures - Leb
raw alchemical materials (240g worth) - Thadd

Thadd mentioned people should claim something if they want it, so if anyone wants to grab one of the items i've listed for him, speak up and drop it on your profile page somewhere.

They give you a nice little bonus against Filth Fever, a common disease in sewers and from many mundane enemies.

Also, we seem to be blasting though this one extremely fast. Even for a season 0. Can I get everyone to first recheck their Chronicle Sheet info, (by that I mean the info you gave me at the top of this page that is going to be going onto your Chronicle Sheets, not your previous Chronicle Sheets, and just make sure everything is correct.

Secondly, who is interested in continuing onto a new scenario after this. There will likely be another player joining as well, and it's not required, just if you would like to do another one right after this one.

Re-checked and reposted:

1.) Ben Jolly
2.) Mors Buolgun
3.) 121383-4
4.) Silver Crusade
5.) Day Job: None

ADDITIONAL: This is will be Chronicle 2 for Mors

----

And yah, I'd be good with another quick module. :)
Which one you have in mind?

I'm interested in continuing another campaign, you see confident this will be over in a month. What do you have in mind? It might be something some of us already played.

also, this is still my first chronicle, so no changes needed.

I will work with everyone to try to find something everyone that will play can get credit for. I have plenty of scenarios and modules. Honestly, at this rate, it might be finished by next week. But, that's just a rough estimate.

Normally combat tend to take the longest, and you have already passed 2 of them quickly.

I'd be happy to continue.

Player: Jimmy Lomax
Character: Thaddeus Silverhorn
PFS # 125008-3
Faction: Sovereign Court
Day Job: 17 (Am I supposed to roll for the next game?)
Chronicles: 2 (Including Prince of Aug.)

Normally combat tend to take the longest, and you have already passed 2 of them quickly.

Heh heh... rat bomb.

I am interested in continuing.

I'd like to try another as well. My Chronicle information above is correct.

This does bring up a question, though. I know as this character is in a pbp game he's locked out of playing anything else, but would he be able to get credit for games I GM locally?

As far as I know, yes. Thats how I generally do it myself, too. As they are applied in order, you do need to make sure you dont accidentally bump yourself out of the correct level, though. The other issue is, if you die, you might loose out twice.

1.)Letcherman69
2.)Mahd Gajol
3.)PFS #: 158679-1
4.)Sczarni
5.)Chronicles: Prince of Augustana(this is my first)

So, do we have a general consensus on strategy? I realize that the baddies could (and probably will) show up at any time, and we can discuss this at length until they do.

My vote: Bottleneck and let Leb throw past us for optimal splash damage goodness. We may need to shift tactics once the baddie opens those doors, but I think this is the best plan given our current lack of information.

The difficulties to ranged attacks works as much to our favor as it works against us (given how few of us have a ranged focus).

So when those doors open, Retty should lead with a diplo attempt. My plan is to follow his good cop with some bad cop. Then, if they don't leave, we unleash hell.

Just keep in mind you are playing down and this is a Season 0.

Also, I need to get an idea on what scenario for next game. Was Leb going to be in? There will be another player joining as well.

Aren't we gonna play through all of the Prince of Augustana?

Yes, I mean for after that. We are freaking blasting through it. :)

I try to run as many games as I can for people during the game day event so maximize both the games run and also your chances of winning boons.
