Dungeon Master S's Murder on the Silken Caravan [CORE] (Inactive)

Game Master Chris Marsh

I am going to give the party here dibs on continuing this game into a GameDay PbP of the Frozen Fingers of Midnight. This means if we finish early, we'll have to pause until the GameDay starts. If you know for a fact you're definitely OUT for the continuation, let me know so I can recruit a replacement.

Sadly, I've done FFoM as a CORE game, so I will sit that table out :-/

Not sure. I'll have to see what my local schedule looks like.

I'll plan on continuing. (But I think you already knew that.)

Piper asked if we're missing someone ...
1. August
2. Hunwald
3. Thiera
4. Piper
5. Wilhelm
6. ?

Seems so.

The 6th put his name on the sheet a while ago, but never answered the post or PM to get going, so I'm guessing he's out.

That means we have no one who can use a CLW wand. Could we recruit a sixth before the first fight starts? I might be able to talk my brother (D-Kal) into starting a Core character/pregen.

Sure! Go for it. Sooner the better.

I went ahead and outlined the mooks on the map to make them easier for me to see. Forgive me if I stepped on toes.

You just beat me to the punch :-)

Small screens and busy backgrounds. I'll try to be more patient. (Hah!)

No worries. I really was going to do that, and you can feel free!

Hello all. I will be playing a bard in your fine game. Hopefully we find all the paths and such.

Welcome aboard! You all caught up?

Yessir. I hope my intro post was enough.

That is totally fine! I'll be back online soon

Woah wait hold up. How are you posting with Wayfinder??

I get asked that a lot. Wait....aren't you the author?!

It stopped working after a Paizo site upgrade, but in a fit of desperation I tried it again a while ago, and VOILA! Works fine now.

Never seen a bard with a 7 INT before! Also your Initiative modifier is +4 :-) not +2

Ah yes! I need to fix that. Thanks.

Hmmm, let me try Wayfinder...

So we are at 7 PCs, which I'm okay with (especially considering the circumstances of recruiting.)

This also means that the APL (rounded) is 2. So, despite there being 7 PCs, we're still Subtier 1-2. It'll make for a rather easy scenario. Thoughts?

I can drop back out if you no longer need me. I don't want to crowd anyone.

You're still welcome, the choice is majority rule (I abstain.)

Bullwhip, is your profile up to date? You have 20 HP, but no Toughness feat and it says level 1?

Yay! A GM who audits character sheets ...

(Not sarcastic, really. Always nice to get help making things right.)

... And, I've no problem with seven, so long as the GM is okay with moving things along after three votes and botting after 24 hrs. (PbP, after all.)

Boom! Bring it. I can run a very fast season 0 without lessening the fun.

We got this.

I don't go over with a fine toothed comb, but I do a little check also for my own education in builds and whatnot. I also known that with 20 active PFS characters I find a ton of my own mistakes. I also point out any time you shortchange yourself.

On the dice change thing ... If you had 5 rolls (for example), and then went back and inserted 2 more rolls between #2 and #3 (for example), everything shifts.

So, if you had this:

A = 20
B = 19
C = 18
D = 17
E = 16

and you added some in the middle, you'd get

A = 20
B = 19
** X = 18 **
** Y = 17 **
C = 16
D = **new value**
E = ** new value**

At least, this is my experience from playing a couple of games over the past month or so. I've seen it change before, and thus the dice can be manipulated a little bit.
(Not that I'd condone such a thing.)

I know what you're saying, which is why I always try to post in the same order with the same syntax (like miss chances for concealment, etc.)

I also know that changing your profile picture does it too.

So, when you went back and edited, and inserted the confirm rolls at the top, it threw everything off underneath.

Is anyone here doing slow progression for this scenario?

Nope.

Heh. Very much nope.

I know it's a bit premature, and this fight is FAR from a sure thing (I'm posting right after the crit versus Bullwhip.) But this game, come hell or high water is only going to take us about 10 days. That leaves PLENTY of time for another one before game day if I run another season 0.

Anyone interested in:

00-05 Mists of Mwangi
00-06 Black Waters
00-08 Slave Pits of Absalom
00-13 The Prince of Augustana
00-23 Tide of Morning

This is my first core game, so I'm good for whatever (if I'm still invited).

This is a great group, so I'm happy to smoothly transition into another one. Yes, there are 7, but it doesn't seem to be slowing us down. I mean I wouldn't do Library of the Lion this way, but this is totally fine!

So long as we finish by Sep 19 (and it looks pretty certain), I'm up for anything core.

00-08 Slave Pits of Absalom or 00-23 Tide of Morning would be good for me :-)

I'm up for any of those in Core.

Slave pits is the shorter one, just in case, though I'm not at all worried.

If Thiera 's spell is a repeat of the last, then I'll likely end up sending chronicles tonight ;-)

Slave Pits it is, then! We could then do Tide of Morning after that ;-)

Thanks for running! I think I'll do a minor rebuild on Leonel to change his Perform(oratory) to Perform(sing).

Day Job (Perform): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
