Dungeon Master S's Infernal Vault (Inactive)

Game Master Chris Marsh

Post your character information here and let's get started! If we don't have a 4th, quickly choose a pregen and away we go!

So Lekku is a zen archer. And we have a kineticist. Who's the third? And do I need to bring in a healer, instead of my Slayer?

I'll bring Crowe to do some frontline job. :)

This is Eben. Actually, it looks like Lekku wants to run Kyra, so I'll run Jal (my Slayer, who can work as scout, trap-breaker, and secondary melee fighter) :).

Let the fun begin. Some advice from my personal experience with "fast" play by post:

1. Post an action every time. Even outside of combat either announce that you're ready, or tell the party what you DO.

2. I'll run combat initiative my normal way, which is essentially before bad guys and after bad guys. So it's first come first served before that. If you have a specific action in mind that depends on someone else, I'll obviously be considerate. For example if someone wants to aid another I'll give the aid ex post facto.

3. Combine rolls. Put it all up there. If you're going to sneak through a room, look for traps, then disable them if there are any, post all of those rolls. Even if you end up not finding any.

Works for me. Also, I'm assuming I'l be running scouting. In that case, I'll likely put up a lot of proactive Take 10 Stealth/Perception/Disable Device blocks. But if Jal would run into a situation where he'd need a roll, don't feel like you have to offer me that roll, DM, you can roll it proactively for me. :)

Secondarily, for everyone else. I've seen people play Pre-gens pretty aggressively/recklessly because they don't feel like they have as much skin in the game. If this is your style of pre-gen play, please consider that Jal is not a pre-gen fro me and I'd very much not like to lose him. Thanks, guys.

This will be the character I'll give the chronicle to. :)

I apparently lied... No map until 3 pm today. No worries, I'm confident we'll still be super fast.

No problem. Also, how do we put an image onto the map? :/

I can do it, but just copy and paste your paizo character picture. That I can do at work. I just can't add a NEW map here.

I did it for Jal.

Do I roll this, if I'm using a pregen? Well, I'll roll, and let you apply or not, as required.

Starting Gold 3503.49g

I will not be able to post until tonight so feel free to bot me if it's needed :)

So I hadn't seen the Occult pregens stats yet, and I'm absolutely floored that Yoon has more HP than D10 class pregens. O.o

So she's a con-based "caster-type"?

Yeah, Con-based caster, with Toughness. Takes non-lethal damage for power-ups.

I've got a Kinesticist that I'm itching to play. I want to work one more character through Eyes of the Ten first. It's a reasonably complex class, and it's sort of high risk high reward. Looking forward to it.

So.... it'll be roughly a week. That is CERTAINLY A record for me. That being said, there's time for one more SPEED run if you guys have need or desire.

Sure. Something *without* a bunch of flame-immune bad guys? :-)

Although, I'm just as happy not to. I've got a bunch of irons in the fire at the moment, and one less adventure would be easier. But if everyone else is game, I don't want to leave them hanging.

I'm game if others are interested. It would mean I could pick up a mithral breastplate for Jal (assuming the payout is enough). That'd give us ... what? Ten days to wrap it up completely? This is definitely the fastest I've ever moved through a scenario online.

I'm mostly down for it because I'm in the pre-gameday lull ... where all my characters are signed up for Sep 19 games.

Yes! Let's do it! What game did you have in mind?

Why not? Anyway, I'm still up with Crowe if we continue with this party's configuration.

Would you want to run Frozen Fingers of Midnight? Can everyone do that one?

I can't.

How about?

00-06 Black Waters
00-13 The Prince of Augustana

To pull it off, we'd need to start tomorrow and keep this up. IT's also REALLY tight, even for this group. I don't mind holding off and giving peopel a chance to breathe before Game Day. If ever you need something quick, I'm here.

I could do Black Waters, but not Prince of Augustana.

If it helps, here's a list of the Scenarios I've played.

I can't do Black Waters.

I don't think I've given you a PFS ID for this chronicle:
9440-01
Liberty's Edge (original character)
Yoon doesn't have a downtime skill.

I can play neither.

00-07 Among the Living?

Neither Lekku nor I have done Among the Living. (At least I don't think Lekku has.)

Works for me :)

Sure, I guess.

Yoon, if you're not really up for it, I certainly don't want you to feel like you have to.

If you need someone to make it a full table, I'll do it. Otherwise, I should probably break until Gameday.

Agreed, They can run a botted pre-gen. Burnout and overload are a PFS players nemesis. Don't feel at all compelled.

I agree with GM and Eben. Feel free to take a break, TomG :)

No problem, TomG. I completely get where you're coming from, and hopefully we'll run into each other in an e-game soon. :)

DM S, should we drop a note into Flaxseed? Or do you want to do any prep-work before we do that?

Let mew prep a bit. Part of what makes the speed run possible is the small party. Try people you know first via PM. I'll try to have a thread by this afternoon.

Not a problem. A name or two come to mind, but nobody I've seen post with as much speed as this crew. O.o

I'll shoot out some PM's, though.

Others should feel free to do the same, if they have someone in mind.

Also, DM S, for my own sake, I'd love to move forward on updating Jal. A quick google search indicates that we could be receiving 1 xp, 2 prestige, and 1634g for this run (plus our day-job results). Is that correct? :)

Thanks. This group has been great, and I look forward to seeing DM S again in Gameday. I hope to see everyone at a future table.

blah, blah, something about actually doing my real-world job, blah, blah.

Haha same here, I have a thesis to write! :p

Take care, TomG. I'll continue with Crowe unless the 4th person plays a frontliner. In this case, I'll use an Oracle of flames but I must have him ready for the 19th of September.

On an another note, I'd say that I just understood why I had such troubles keeping up this week-end. I live in the GMT+2 timezone, that's 7 hours later than EST timezone :D

Yeah I teach at a semi-private school with some seriously studious kids. Once the year is in full swing I have to cut down on the amount of PbP to make sure I do my Day Job to the best of my ability. As of this moment, most of my students are reading the boring first chapters "What is chemistry? What is Biology? What is Science?"

It's when lab reports start coming in that my real world Day job puts a cramp in my gaming habit :-)

What is your thesis topic, Zinou? I need to get some papers out the door, too. (computer information systems)

Well, I studied theology (protestant) and I'm writing about Hell in the first christian communities (2nd to 6th centuries), basically trying to explain why Hell became so important for the primitive christian communities and medieval Christianism (as Hell doesn't appear textually in the Bible). :)

Hey guys, if you're continuing on, post here. I'll close this thread down once everyone posts HERE
