DaWay's PFS First Steps (Group 1) (Inactive)

Game Master DaWay

Not sure if google drive is like google docs, but I've had big problems accessing google docs at work. Photobucket has worked great though.

ok, so I am able to make an xcell sheet for google drive. How do i get it onto google docs?

Google Drive is the new name for Docs. If you have the spreadsheet open, look up in the upper right corner. There should be a blue button there labeled "Share." Click it and a window should open with some document sharing options. Click "Change," and when a new window opens click the "Anyone with the link" radio button. Click "Save" to get you back to the first window. Now there will be a highlighted URL at the top of the window, which you can copy and paste into a posting so the rest of us can look at the spreadsheet. Make sense?

Not sure, if it is in Drive, can you just share it?

I don't see the button to labeled "share"

I might just email it to everyone, when the time comes.

right click on the doc, halfway down the menu?

All I have is 'nobody' 'homegroup read' homegroup read/write' and 'specific people'

Hmmm, when I do it, I get Share Settings
Who has access (change)

Maybe because you imported it? I create it in Drive.

well the most I can do is label it as a grid and put it into a dropbox account. Then allow you to tell me how you want to move. Maybe not the best but at least it is a workable way to deliver maps.

Did it work?

Says I need permission

how bout now?

Check, Roger that.

Looks good.

@DaWay: Hmm...I think this is going to create some problems for me. I can't open this kind of file (google docs) at work for some reason, and I mostly post at work. I've tried it with both IE and Firefox. I might need to have the map PM'd to me on occassion. Sorry.....

no problem, that's why I asked for emails too. When a map needs to be updated I can either email it to you or put a dropbox link in.

Looks good

I can see it. :)

Sounds good, my e-mail is drnate29@yahoo.com

Just an FYI my computer is f'ed. If I update it'll be once maybe twice a day from my wifes computer.

Thanks for the heads-up.

That sucks; hate, hate, hate computer problems. Thanks for letting us know.

Are there any churches of Cayden Cailean nearby the orphanage? In absence of organized churches, any taverns nearby that are especially loyal to the sect? I'm trying to come up with a plan to help the good lady get her act back together regarding the orphanage. I think the Lucky Drunk would have a soft spot for orphans...

I can't recall a situation in which the party was trying to grapple and use diplomacy on the same target in the same round.

@DM: Are planning to post again regarding the situation in the room with the imp? Seems like there is a lot going on that is unresolved: Felinros trying to grab the box while Pro from Evil'd, Arjunta failing a save, Zoltan grappling the creature, etc. Seems like Matthias' diplomacy attempt failed if I'm reading your last post correctly, but not sure about the rest.

On travel for the next couple of days. Hope to post, but please take actions for me if I cannot post in a timely fashion. Will be back to normal Sunday evening.

I'm glad to be well past the stage of screaming children, although having a 21-year-old daughter living at home and going to school along with an 18-year-old son also living at home and finishing high school carries its own distractions. Mostly having to do with late nights and no phone calls.

Yeah my thought train is constantly derailed with "no don't touch that" and "get that out of your mouth"

@DM: I'm really confused as to what is going on in this combat. If a map is a bridge too far, could you give us an update as to who is dead, who's unconscious, etc. I don't know right now if I should post anything for Zoltan or not.

Heh. Me too. I think Arjunta, Felinros and Zoltan are unconscious, but things are progressing like Zoltan is still grappling the halfling.

I figured while zoltan is out he can still hold a halfling. The only two left are the halfling and the sorceress.

Really? OK, your call. I suppose you could make the case that Zoltan's weight could continue to hold the halfling. In that case he is still grappled, and depending on when you are ruling the Enlarge Person took effect (i.e. before or after the halfling's grapple check to escape the pin) the halfling might be pinned too.

@Matthias: Deandre's dead. Pretty sure Shinkeer blew her head off (literally) with a musket critical. With the halfling still pinned Hali (the sorceeress?) is the only target for the rest of the group.

Go go musket tengu!

Someone has to stop the TPK! Thank Cayden for the gunslinger!

FYI: I am out of town til tomorrow. Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!

Dmpc as needed please.

I've updated Vanyel's character sheet with experience, prestige points, and money. He doesn't have a day job at the moment.

Mathias, here are Vanyel's current first-level spells:
mage armor
identify
burning hands
grease
obscuring mist
color spray
shield

Anything there you're interested in?

ETA: DM DW, are you going to record the session?

I was going to do them all at once, and send you all three sheets at the same time if that is okay

That's OK with me. I'm not planning on playing the character anywhere else until we're done with First Steps.

Suggestions on improved armor?

I can afford a Masterwork Breastplate now, but am wondering if the Agile Breastplate or one of the new Ultimate Equipment selections might be a better choice.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just because you have to prove that you own the book for any equipment from UE please tell me the page number it's on.

Chart is on Page 9, descriptions begin on Page 10.

Vanyel,

I have Burning Hands, Enlarge Person, Gravity Bow, Grease, Shield, Touch of Gracelessness, if you want to share :)

Might as well add all the others I don't have that aren't on my prohibited schools; obscuring mist, identify, mage armor.

DaWay, I'm adding those spells to my spellbook; I can take 10 and automatically pass learning the spells and it will cost 10g a spell (30g total).

I'm also using my 2 Prestige Points on a Wand of Infernal Healing, changing my spear to a masterwork spear. Alo buying 1 vial of holy water.

Total gold cost: 355g
3 level 1 spells: 30g
masterwork longspear: 300g
1 vial of holy water 25g

Being relatively new to PFS, can someone give me a brief explanation of how spending PP's for magic items works?

The breakdown is in Table 5-4 in the Guide to Pathfinder Society Organized Play (free pdf download HERE).

ETA: DM DW, Vanyel will spend 30 gp to copy the following spells from Mathias: enlarge person, gravity bow, and touch of gracelessness. Taking 10 on the Spellcraft check to copy means automatic success for him.

OK then. Zoltan will spend 5gp's to buy a greatclub. That's it.

Zoltan, I'd suggest buying a masterwork chain shirt; same ACP, but +1 armor over what you have now, and if/when you have enough PP or gold to buy magic armor you can essentially sell it back for full price.

Sorta, he can only get the full resale value of the armor if he does so before playing level 2. Also makes a difference if he feels like getting armor made out of a special material.

+1 to Matthias, plus the armor spikes are an extra. I'll wait.

Ok everyone let me know when your updates are done and we will move on to part two. Hopefully tomorrow.
