DM B's PbP Game Day 3: Decline of Glory (1-7) (Inactive)

Game Master Beckett

When the son of a famous Pathfinder gains control of his father's holdings in Taldor, the Pathfinder Society decides to build a new lodge there as a base to explore the many ruins of that crumbling empire. Unfortunately, the Taldan Phalanx has its eye on the holdings and an ancient curse has turned many of the residents into the walking dead. Can you survive the tangled web of Taldor's politics and fight off the echoes of the past or will you, too, see your glory decline?

DM Notes:

Decline of Glory Map


Shadow Lodge

Closed Recruitment for an existing group.

Shadow Lodge

Sub Tiers are (1-2), (3-4), and (6-7).

Scarab Sages

Hey Level 2 ninja checking in :). Just need to apply silken caravan chronicle and then will be ready to go.

Shadow Lodge

Also, please let me know if you are playing the same character and you leveled up.

Dark Archive

Yoshi reporting for duty. Without Leprosy.

Grand Lodge

You look good without leprosy :). Mirima here. It's (probably) me.

Grand Lodge

I can Play with the ranger a newly created warrior por a wizard warrior, this one is level 4, the ranger is level 1 with 2 sesiones.

Scarab Sages

Applied Chronicle, not much change as still level 2. Just richer :). Ready to go.

Grand Lodge

It will be Mirima, fresh off First Steps with some gold and PP to spend. I'll update tonight/tomorrow and have an updated Mirima ready to go by tomorrow.

If we want to have a shot at 3-4, my ranger Aran just made level 3 today and is available for a game. Classic switch-hitter type, although strangely he's been more ranged than melee in the past few sessions. Almost want to consider moving him from NG to LG and see about a dip class for level 3. Alas, he may be too trigger happy to be a LG type. Same thing. Will update tonight/tomorrow and he would be ready for game if we want to go higher tier.

Oh, yeah, very happy day for Mirima. She was hanging with two wizards. One even had flaming sphere in the spellbook. Picked up...I think it was 8 or 9 spells total. Could've been more, but the other wizard was new and only had three spells in his book. Didn't push him to add spells for Mirima's benefit :). She got more than enough out of the mission.

Dark Archive

Well, Yoshi is only level 1 :-(

Shadow Lodge

Hisao (2)
Yoshi (1)
Sylphiette (1 or 4)
Mirima (3)

If you play up, it shouldn't be too bad on lower level characters, assuming they stay back a bit. It's a Season 0 again, and this one doesn't have the enormous amount of enemies.


i'm trying to finish up this Confirmation. we're about to do the final combat. then I can apply that chronicle to my wizard and he can come along as a level 2.

Shadow Lodge

Ok. No problem.


sweet! thanks.

Grand Lodge

1st Level Inquisitor here. Still not gotten around to updating him yet, though.

Grand Lodge

Given the team, I'm thinking low tier is probably good, as we can all go level 1-2. I have Mirima at level 1, and actually both my swashbuckler and my slayer are free, too.

Grand Lodge

In that case I will be playing with this character:

BTW Yoshi may end up level 2 for this with another GM credit.

Grand Lodge

Stop the presses! Mirima may have just picked up her third XP with We Be Goblins (the last fight just ended, I think. Waiting for confirmation from GM). Do we have 6 people? Perhaps we can play 3-4 after all? Especially if Sylphiette is willing to nurse a bunch of level 2's (and a level 1 Davon).

If we want to be safe, I can bring my level 3 ranger instead. Either way, I'm suddenly feeling adventurous and wondering if tier 3-4 is within reach.

Grand Lodge

Oh, wait, Yoshi is level 1 too. May be not...I am SO conflicted!

Shadow Lodge

Hisao (2)
Yoshi (1)
Sylphiette (1)
Mirima (2 or 3)
Davor (1)

Ok, this looks like it. 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 5 + 2 or 3 = 7 or 8
7 or 8 / 5 = 1.4 or 1.6, both of which mean low Tier, unless you want to play up.

I'm going to go ahead and get started, though.

1st, please visit the Discussion Forum. Once you have completed that, please head over to the Gameplay thread (working on it now). Something to keep in mind, the Game Day ends on Feb 01. I'm going to push to try to make it, but I'm going to need your help here. Please, be as proactive as possible. Both inn posting and also in just general actions. If you are not sure of something, please, state actions for both and I'll, within reason, use the one that makes sense.


i'm still interested with my wizard. just finished the confirmation. all that's left is to report.

Scarab Sages

ready if i can still come along.

Silver Crusade

is this open for a new character ?

Grand Lodge

Where are you Parumartish? Aisha told Mirima you'd be joining us, and Mirima's been waiting like it's Christmas morning (well, whatever the Golarion equivalent is) since she found out you're a wizard too!

Don't forget your two spells for Level 2. It's sad one of them has to be a Divination spell, but Mirima will be glad to overlook that. Spells are fun. Even Divination ones.

I don't know Rajmahendra. You'll have to talk to our GM about that. I believe 6 of the 7 players are returning to action from our last mission together with the Silken Caravan, and I'm not sure if he's looking for a new seventh.

Shadow Lodge

I'd be ok with it, but let me make sure just what I have right now first and let you know for sure in a little bit.

Shadow Lodge

Ok, it looks like we have 6 players.

cuatroespada - Parumartish (Wiz 2)
overfiend_87 - Davor Mason (Inq 1)
Azih - Hisao (Nin 2)
VinGoodman - Mirima Beryamae (Wiz 2)
TFidelFHell - Tuca luna marceau (Rgr 1)
Aerondor! - Yoshi Masaso (Brw 1)

I'm ok with a 7th joining, which will max us out. Rajmahendra, please post your character asap, as well as the info in the Discussion Thread.

Can I also get everyone to "dot" in the Game Play thread as well.

Again, I want to try to make the game day deadline, so please be as proactive as you can, within reason so we can move along. I am not going to rush it to the point where it's lacking story or rp, but I do want to push it. :)

Also, for everyone that has not done so yet, please post some "quick combat stats beneath your avatar.

Instructions:
1.) Right Click and open your character in a new window.
2.) Hit the "Edit My Profile" tab on the right.
3.) Scroll down to the "Race" and also the "Class/Level" fields.
4.) In the "Race" section, just insert: HP: __/__ - AC: __, FF: __, T: __, CMD: __ - F: +_, R: +_, W: +_ - __ft Move / Init +_, Perc +_ (darkvision/scent, etc. . .)
<depending on how long it takes, you might need to save, and start again. If it takes too long, it will just not save.>
5.) In the "Class/Level" section, enter: Alignment/ Gender/Race/Class/Level and then your common attack and damage

. . .
For Example: LG Male Archon-Blooded Aasimar Warpriest 6, Bastard Sword: +7, 1d10+6, 19x2 (S)

Please note that these will not show up until you have posted in the Game thread, and I'm not a stickler on the exact format, but, in my experience, this is the info that really speeds things up, so please try to include it. Also, if you have a pet, it helps to also include at least the basics for them as well.

Shadow Lodge

Parumartish, how is your Init so high?

I see +2 Dex, +1 from Class, +4 from Imp Init for a +7. I don't see where the other +4 is coming from?

Dark Archive

+4 from greensting familiar probably. Odd that it gives a straight bonus that stacks with Improved Initiative; they used to give the feat to avoid this sort of thing. Still, once you win initiative winning by ten points doesn't make it any more won.

Grand Lodge

Right, done the changes :D

Grand Lodge

Somebody is making a killing breeding greensting scorpions...

Shadow Lodge

So, we are pretty solidly in the low tier, unless you want to play up. I don't see any reason you couldn't handle it, and it is a Season 0, especially if the casters stay back for one particular fight, so I'm going to put it up to a vote, and then begin.

If anyone is absolutely against playing up, then that will go. I'm not okay forcing someone to play up. So please answer with one of the following asap:

1.) I don't care
2.) UP!!! (3-4)
3.) Down (1-2)
4.) I'm NOT playing up!

Dark Archive

1) I don't care. Yoshi is probably one of the weaker characters in that he is low level and has to get in harms way to be useful. Glass cannon!

Grand Lodge

3) Play down

It's a very slight preference, as my first instinct was (1). But, there is a chance we'd see six votes on (1), so I figure I should get my preference, however slight, out there.

Scarab Sages

You might just be right Mirima.

My vote is 1.

Scarab Sages

1

Grand Lodge

1, I mostly don't care, but like Miruma, slight preference for down.

Shadow Lodge

Ok, then lets play down.

Scarab Sages

sounds good.
