EM - [PFS] The King Is Dead Boring (Inactive)

Game Master Evil Minion

OK, that means we're in tier 6-7 for the next one, with everyone but Marcus out of Tier.

edit: @Marcus: I sent you an updated chronicle with the fixes mentioned in the PM... though you'll have to enter the armor you sold on your own!
I think that should work.

Hmmm... we're what...

Midge 3
Fifi 4
Kioshi 5
Londo 5
Masym 5
Marcus 6

So if I were still level 5 we'd be 4.5, but since I'm 6 that pushes us up into the higher tier? That seems like we're just asking for trouble... unless any others are leveling up as well. For some reason I thought Midge was also leveling up around now.

Yeah Londo won't be hitting 6 til after Dalsine Affair

Ya, 1 level and you had the choice... Two and it became automatic.

You and Fifi make 2

Yeah, I just remember discussing this a few scenarios back, and determined that we'd be Tier 6-7 whether or not I hit 6 at the end, so I just went with normal track.

Otherwise, if I took that chronicle slow track, we'd be automatically in the low tier since if no PCs are in tier for the higher option, you go low.

I'm pretty sure that Midge should have leveled off of the one we just finished. That'd put us at 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6... a much healthier level spread. But if I'm wrong and Midge is still 3... well... that may be problematic.

Just as an FYI, my Dirty Tricks have gotten more complicated. I'll update my profile to have the relevant rules so you don't need to search all over the place through 2 feats and a rage power. Also, I now have a token rank in disable device now, giving me a whopping +5 using masterwork tools. Mostly this means I can take 20 for a 25. If that doesn't work... crowbar will.

Midge is going to level up to 4 before this next scenario. I'll level up when I can and my chronicle looks great.

Also, I'm really sick! I won't be online for a few days.

Thanks.

Ack! Feel better!

Looks like my memory was correct, so I think we're in reasonable shape. We're in tier 6-7 regardless of Marcus's chronicle decision, so a few extra HP will hopefully help me take the brunt of a few mistakes for everyone else.

Also... I suspect at this point Marcus can probably remove someone's armor and helm, then put it back on backwards as a massive dirty trick.

I'm certain we'll be able to come out on top of this next scenario!

OK... now to get this one going again.

For the next chronicle sheet Kioshi will upgrade his cloak of resistance from +1 to +2 for 3000 gp.

Thanks GM!

Almost forgot this is our last one... the finale, if you will!

Oh GM ... I will really miss this!

Already now a big thank you for this awesome story that you created with us!!!

I finally feel like I've gotten Marcus built as desired. A barbarian without power attack that can actually do (debatable) useful things aside from RAGE POUNCE SMASH! It took 6 levels, and several feats... but I think I can probably put pants onto a beast and give it a wedgie.

I think Marcus can now officially join my ranks of stupid but reasonably successful characters.

Of course if he ever gets to level 10 and gets pounce... all of the dirty tricks!

I really enjoy seeing Marcus' tactics and fighting style! Dirty Tricks are such flavorful and useful options. We'll need all of that sass to survive this 6-7 adventure! Also, can I just call out Londo for being a total badass and critting the tomb spider back? That blow Masym took had my hairs on ends, but that x3 crit brought me inner peace.

Fifi's build is all over the place, but I think I'll be able to land her concept at level 5. When I made her, I visualized someone that fought with a sword made of holy fire.

Hi guys, I am on vacation starting tomorrow for three weeks so please bot me as I will only be able to post every couple of days. Sorry for any inconvenience caused!

From July 25th through until the end of July I'm going to be busy and very unlikely to post. We've got family coming into town. The week after that I'll be working towards a very important deadline and won't be posting as often as usual. Feel free to bot or skip me as needed. I'll check in when I can.

Thanks!

Gah.

Good that you posted. Between a visit from the folks and work, this thread dropped off my radar! (again!)

I'd love to finish before Gameday. As this is the final scenario in our run, it will give you chance to wander off to other pastures!

Will try to stay on top of things going forward, in hopes of meeting that goal =)

I should probably go read back up the thread... I think I've forgotten what we were doing.

Or I can just continue to be a treasonous ranting fox and go with the flow...

Thanks for your efforts GM!

Hi! I’m back and posting now. Just a reminder that over the next week I’ll be posting less often than normal. If you’re ever waiting on me feel free to bot me.

Thanks!

Welcome back Midge! I hope I did not botch your botting too bad :P.

PS: Please deduct 1 2nd level and 1 1st level spell from your spells per day.

I think Marcus needs to buy spare trousers to put on his enemies.

Note: Once GameDay 8 starts, I'll probably be rather unresponsive for a week or so while I get my games up and running. First few days are always the toughest, especially for specials. If we're in combat I'll try to post simple actions, but don't expect many Marcus rants.

We should be almost done by then.

Oh! I just realized I forgot to brag! The SFS scenario I helped write came out a few weeks ago: The Withering World. It's my first one!

*happy dance*

Sweet Midge, and congrats! Looking forward to playing in that scenario down the road :D

EDIT: OOOHHHhhh Quests...even betteah!

Attending a con this weekend. I'll be posting again by Monday. Bot me if needed. Thanks!

Based on this post I think we may have lost Kioshi for the remainder of the scenario/campaign.

Oh... hmmm

Well, we're almost done this scenario, and the entire run, so I think we'll be able to swing things alright.

But thanks for pointing that out!

I can probably bot Kioshi for whatever remains if we manage to wrap up before GameDay begins.

GM, are you OK with one/many of us botting Kioshi for the duration? If so I'll likely suggest courses of action that put him in a support role rather than active combatant. I.e. Daylight, See Invisibility, Haste, etc. Since he can burn his reservoir to more or less re-prepare his spells that would make it easier to handle his exit.

But noral dropped out entirely, he is not just awol... not sure if I'm allowed to bot him at this point.

In that case I really don't know how to handle my character actions moving forward without more context.

We'll find out soon enough!

Well... we now instantly die in another darkness fight, we're under APL for this subtier, my recommendation is to retreat... and maybe let the Qadirans out front storm the place.

Will post tonight, but am planning another round of bs to hopefully buy us time.

buy time for what? =)

To find the inevitable fireball trap. But I fell asleep instead. On to plan b.

I'm glad we've got this encounter handled. I was afraid Kioshi's absence and the 6-7 subtier might be too much for us.

Famous last words!

Never underestimate a magus...

Even though he needs a concentration check vs entangled... and probably another to cast defensively... and a 20% chance to lose the spell from being deafened... and needs to actually hit despite being blind and entangled... he can still do a [EXPLETIVE DELETED]load of damage if he's insanely lucky.

Thanks for the bot - it's been a hellacious last few days of being horribly struck down with the crud.

I haven't pulled any punches on Chalfon, and there was some serious tpk potential there... but you have him on the ropes anyway! Well done. (and it was little ol' Midge that really hooped me!)

Been scrambling trying to have him outlast the damnable blindness since! At least I finally managed that, I guess... Small victories, right? =)

*bows*

Very well done!

Heh... I was trying to get a free moment to use arcane mark, with spellcombat, to put a 'Pathfinders Did It!' sign somewhere =)

Never got the chance.

Or did I...

Alright, in case it wasn't already obvious...

We've more or less finished the scenario ... and our entire run!!!

I will be doing some conclusion/filler/rp type posts still, until you're officially out of town, but for the most part, we're done!

Took longer than I'd intended, sorry about that.

Anyway, will eventually need day job rolls, and possible faction card stuff from you.

I have created my first Pathfinder 2 character... Marcus Vultulus Fantailler.

Rising Star Nobility check: 10 + 11 = 21 Checks one box instead of day job

I am winding down my time in Golarion - the number of Pathfinder 1 scenarios I haven't played has dwindled to near nothingness - and with this game finished, it really does feel like this chapter can come to an amenable close.

I look foward to seeing some of you in the Pact Worlds but for most of you I fear this is probably goodbye.

This has been an excellent game though EM.

I wouldn't say I'm stopping with PF1, but I'm definitely dropping my PF1 down to a much more rare event. There are a few more scenario arcs I'd like to complete over time... but... The Pact Worlds... they call me...
