Exiles of Winter PFS scenerio# 2-17 [Recruitment closed] (Inactive)

Game Master lucklesshero

It looks like we're about to more-or-less wind up this adventure once that goblin dies or escapes, and then obviously we'll do Keep of the Huskarl King next to complete the trilogy, but what are people thinking next? Will we want to keep pursuing the adventures of these characters, or maybe give them a break and work with some others?

I'm fine with either option, but my only other PFS character is Ean Rulis, a LN human Phalanx Soldier who's about to become a Hellknight Commander. Maybe this is too early to bring this up, just curious about where everyone wants to go. I like gaming with you guys!

actually there's another encounter after this one Torvald..Muhahaha!!

Guys/Gal ..I'd like to a little bit of bookkeeping as we wind down and I'll need some help. So what I'd like first is all remaining charges on your wands..everyone who owns a wand whether the consider it a "group resource" or not please list the name and remaining charges as of this post please.

Then I'll need a list of all your remaining potions..again if it's a "shared resource" please list it as yours..if you chipped in together to buy it (which I don't think ur allowed to do in society it falls under , "the no borrowing money clause") Even if u did chip in (legal or not we'll deal with that another time) I'll need you to pick an owner.

the same goes for scrolls or any other expendable magic..

Lastly I need a list of all alchemical supplies remaining...who owns them and who is carrying them. Again if there's a group dynamic pick some owners..

I'll need everyone to list this for only their character in the discussion thread please (herolab files, inventory tracking sheet pdfs not acceptable, I want it here so we can sort it out together)
Here's the format I want you to use

Inventory magic/alchemical
Player X

wands cure lt (lv. 1) 43 chg/ prot evil (lv 1) 57 chg
potions cure lt x2, barkskin , oil of magic weapon (2nd lv)
scrolls/other perishable magic arrows +1 (10), scroll of prismatic spray (cl 14), scroll of fly, scroll of bless x2
Alchemical items smelling salts, fireward gel x2, alchemist fire, ect..

Please have a list similar to this posted no later than Saturday afternoon for me thanks..

1 last thing if an item is yours but carried by another character...PLEASE NOTE THAT

All of the listed items below belong to and are carried by Analia.

Wand of mage armor(lv. 1) 47 chg
Alchemical items alchemist's fire x3,reagent-black powder x3,reagent-saltpeter x5

The party resource list shows I am carrying a potion of cure light wounds, but I don't know if that is something someone else put on the list or not because it isn't in my herolab file. It may just be something from this scenario and not an "owned" resource.

That list also notes Craggark is carrying the CMW potion, so he should take that when get gets a chance.

Wands: Endure Elements (start: 42, use: 5, remain: 37)
Bless (start: 50, use: 2, remain: 48)

Alchemical Items: Acid (start: 1, use: 1, remain: 0)
Alchemist's Fire (start: 3, use: 0, remain: 0)
Alchemist's Kindness (4)
Antitoxin (1)
Vermin Repellent (2)

Healing Kits: Antidote Kit (10)
Healer's Kit (8)

Scrolls: Cause Fear (2)
Summon Monster I (2)
Command (2)
Comprehend Languages (2)

Craggark: it looks like I've used 3 charges on the Cure Light Wounds wand you lent me, so I'll you factor in the new total since it's technically your item.

No Potions/Wands/Scrolls of my own (carrying Craggark's CLW wand) and the following alchemical item are stuffing Torvald's backpack back in the library:

(2) antitoxins,
(1) Fireward Gel
(3) alchemist’s fire
(2) alchemical cement
(2) black fire clay
(2) buoyant balloons
Smelling Salts
(4) acid flasks
(2) smog pellets
(2) alchemical glues
(2) alchemical solvents
(3) shard gels
(1) liquid ice

Still carrying my light crossbow & have [9] bolts remaining. As soon as this fight is over & healing is done Torvald will run over to his backpack since he's almost out of bombs.

For future reference I'm going to list reprint PFSDR definition of disabled which is the condition you are under (for 1 round only) when orc Ferocity is active. Here it is: A character with 0 hit points, or one who has negative hit points but has become stable and conscious, is disabled. A disabled character may take a single move action or standard action each round (but not both, nor can he take full-round actions, but he can still take swift, immediate, and free actions). He moves at half speed. Taking move actions doesn’t risk further injury, but performing any standard action causes 1hp dmg

OK so it's pretty clear you only get 1 action while disabled unless you have free, swift, or immediate actions available..normally taking a potion involves retrieving a stored item (move action) and drinking potion (standard action That is not strenuous so no hp dmg.) the problem is unless the potion is already in hand...Orc Ferocity almost never allows you to heal yourself before dying...
So unless you somehow figure out a way to swift action a healing implement to your hand (a la spring loaded wand thingy) your pretty screwed in saving yourself. I think the flavor is in the wording of the ability and how the authors intended it to play out mechanically. There's nothing ferocious about quaffing a potion to keep living. But that orc that kept attack Aragon after he'd run it through...now that was ferocious!

For future reference also, if you ever happen to get a spring loaded sheath or two, you can now load potions and scrolls as well as small weapons or wands. They allow you to get items in your hands for a swift action.

From the PFS Campaign Clarifications, scroll down to Ultimate Equipment...

Ultimate Equipment
Page 75—A wrist sheath can hold one forearm-length item. In addition to the listed examples, wrist sheaths can be used to store and deploy potions and scrolls. They cannot hold rods.

Wait, what? So am I not climbing? Do I need to redo my turn (in which case, I assume I get my reroll back)? Because if there is a flipping goblin in the pit, Jamir is not going to leave Jawhar standing there with his armor down around his ankles.

Edit: I'm sorry, Luckless, but I just reread your last post, and I can't tell if you mean that the goblin fell before Jamir started climbing or not. If Jamir is halfway up the wall, I guess I will wait to see what happens on Jawhar's turn before I decide whether he will climb back down. If the goblin hit the ground before Jamir started climbing, of course, he would never have started at all.

ur re-roll is back

ur re-roll is back

Ninja'd by the GM!

we are out of initiative though..unless Jawhar takes the 5-6hp from the 1d6 dmg the goblin will cause him if he doesn't move out of the way..
btw...I don't believe you ever picked up your smelling salts after you fell un-conscious did jamir? If there's a post that I missed let me know..otherwise you two have been stomping around in the pit for a few rounds and there's loose insect husk on the floor..I figure DC:12 perception move action to spot them and another move action to pick them up (remember they're un-stoppered maybe a DC:15 perception to locate the cap within a minute?)

If Jawhar gets knocked un-conscious we will remain in initiative.. if not just roll play how you handle the goblin and as long as Craggark remained standing and stable himself ..I don't think there's an emergency above the pit..

We could drum an emergency up for sure.

Yeah, I thought that Orc Ferocity might have been dumb like that, but I'm happy to hear about the wrist sheath-potion possibility.

I'll get expendable expenses done soon. I do have the Google Doc with that info on our shared page - I haven't updated it since the Druid fight.

to be precise I don't think a spring loaded wrist sheath is designed for a potion..But, the game designers are always coming up with new equipment.. the wand wrist sheath was just to point out the corner case where it would work..(in fact if u took ranks in UMD it could work for u too I guess or just dipped in to a class that can use a wand of cure lt....mid max ..that's what Pathfinder Society is all about baby!)

The recent PFS Campaign Clarification Lia quoted is pretty clear on that point. Wand, scroll, potion, or dagger is fine. Metamagic rods, unfortunately not.

Edit: just noticed that Lia quoted the entry for regular wrist sheaths in Ultimate Equipment. Scroll down further to Adventurer's Armory instead for the spring-loaded version and you will see the same ruling:

"Adventurer's Armory

Page 8—A wrist sheath or spring-loaded wrist sheath can hold one forearm-length item. In addition to the listed examples, wrist sheaths can be used to store and deploy potions and scrolls. They cannot hold rods."

Good catch there Jamir! Thanks!

thanks guys very helpful...

Moved our tokens into the storeroom on the map (and stuck the goblin in the pit where he belongs!).

I selected positions for us at random, so please feel free to move them.

Luckless, I assume the barred door is across or just inside the passageway at the bottom of the map?

You assume correct ..

Gotta get those Faction Goals. I got mine so early on in this scenario that I had to double-check to make sure I wasn't hallucinating. (I did get it.)

Jawhar, I have an acid flask under your name on the tracking sheet. Is that correct?

Craggark's expendables:

Wand (CLW); 26 charges
Alchemist's Fire: 1 vial
Alchemist's Kindness: 1 vial
Saltpetre: 2 reagents

I gave my potion of CLW to Lia in exchange for the potion of CMW that we found (and I drank). She still has it at present. I might get it back in exchange for some of my special saltpetre.

Eh? EH?! EHHHHHH!!!!!?!

Ain't no orc like a gross half-orc.

And no, you perverts, Craggark is not furiously cranking it in the corner after begin kissed by Lia.

4 more CLW charges noted - now at 22 charges remaining.

"...furiously cranking it in the corner..." Now that is something I have yet to hear, read, or even imagine during a PFS scenario, and I have to say it made me chuckle more than just a bit.

I threw my acid at the guard in the library

This isn't urgent at all, but I think I'm going to go Trap Breaker instead of Grenadier. The slayer dip will give me martial proficiencies anyway, TB gives me trapfinding (which the party badly needs!) and I can still get Precise Bombs at next level so you should all be safer. No downside!

And buy a masterwork set of thieve's tools while you're at it! ;)

Just a short interlude to all the players in this scenario ...it's been a fun ride so far! And fear not we will continue to the last scenario in this series and possibly beyond! There is a group dynamic here that is more akin to campaign style play rather than "one off Society adventures" that, I must confess..."I do love". So, much like Ana and Craggark's impeding nuptials (tehe), our our Hearts and Swords will go on as long as this group sticks together!

This is my way of telling you despite my grumpiness at times I do enjoy your hi-jinx lady and gents! What's more Keep of the Huscarl King doesn't necessarily hafta be the end of this group's adventures..? That being said, I remain firm about taking a break after we wrap up this one ( probably within' a week? two at most); We will begin the third of the trilogy a week or so after the 1st part of game-day 6 ends...fair enough...

Oh if your intent on keeping the band together..you should discuss the scenarios and or module you'd like to play most (with this team) after you finish the Shades of Ice trilogy.

Thanks, Luckless, I would also like to keep the band together. And I promise that Jamir will pick up a fresh wand of CLW at the start of part 3!

I like the idea of a break (we've been playing these guys pretty constantly for most of a year now) and love the idea of continuing as a group.

I'm okay with the Northern regional theme, though my motivation there is partially selfish--if a large chunk of enemies are vulnerable (or at least not resistant) to fire, then I can spend my Discoveries on things other than "bomb does X damage type". That being said, I don't feel super strongly about it if people want to go further abroad--and if we do, I vote for stuff from Season 5, Year of the Demon! Heard a lot of good things about that season's scenarios, but haven't gotten to play any yet.

Sounds good to me. I admit I am finding Jamir to be a little bit frustrating to play, as much as I love the character. I am hopeful that the boosts that will come with 3rd level (and a couple of minor changes I will make under the rebuild rules) will make him more satisfying to play.

Season 5 sounds fun if we want to stick with PFS scenarios. If we did want to play a module, though, has anyone already played DAUGHTERS OF FURY?

I'll look into the reviews of a few of the season 5 scenarios.. You'll need Craggark's input though he's played several seasons already it seems..

That one sounds pretty fun. Some of us will only be 2nd level though ;)

As for season 5, I've recently played a couple of missions from season 5 (that's where I encountered Lia's player) but only at Tier 1-2. That means I can replay them, right?

Like I've said before, I don't have the breadth of experience the rest of you have, so I'm free to play just about anything.

The sanctioned material for Daughters of Fury is for levels 2-4, 3-5, and 4-6 (there are 3 parts). We should be able to stick together.

I believe only certain scenarios are replayable at tier 1-2 (The Confirmation, for example); I don't think anything is considered repayable for credit at higher levels.

Wands: Protection from Evil - 33 charges; Speak Local Language - 48 charges

Potion: Protection from Evil x1

Smelling Salts x1
Sunrods x5
Acid x1
Smokestick x1
Tindertwig x5
Bag of caltrops x1
Bag of marbles x2
Cold iron weapon blanch x1
Blackfire clay x1 (which I think Craggark is carrying)

Loaned out: spring-loaded wrist sheath to Jawhar, spring-loaded wrist sheath to Torvald

I have played most of season 6 and about half of season 5 so far. I will give you a link to my session tracker if that helps(I just have to figure out how to get a shareable link to it.)

I am already promised to a GM for Daughters of Fury, but I can ask the GM if he has room for the group here, including luckless of course, and is willing to run it as a PbP game. I have a feeling he would be willing to do it, but I will have to check. He has plenty of PbP experience, but only one PbP GM experience, and I enjoyed reading that run very much.

I'll check my wish list for this character and get back to the group soon. I just know I want this character to stick with this team, because it is starting to really feel like a campaign game instead of a random scenario. Continuity, immersion and a real feeling of friendship is something I enjoy most about role playing. And the crazy humor of this last encounter is something you have to experience to believe it. I am not going to want to miss the next wacky thing we end up doing and somehow survive...

Here is my session tracker of what I have done so far.

Greymore's PFS Session Tracker

If I am in a game currently I checked them off too, like this one, even if it isn't finished yet, just so people know what is and isn't available for me.

I think the sessiontracker links are pretty straight forward. Here is the link to mine. Just replace my PFS number with yours, Lia, and that ought to do it.

Edit - Ninja'd again!

Jamir, I bought my own spring loaded wrist sheathes. I am no longer using yours.

-Posted with Wayfinder

I believe I purchased my own spring-loaded sheath as well.

Thanks - Somehow I missed that you had each bought your own. So Jamir must have them back. Loading them now!

I'd be interested in Daughters of Fury. I've played some Season 5, and after replaying this entire trilogy again, I've used up all my GM star replays, so I wouldn't be interested in a scenario that I've already done.

We're watching the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie tonight so that I will be inspired for the final fight!

I take it Skagni did not want to tell us what's in the dang chest?

Later for skagni , Right now Craggark or someone needs to open the door and go in or we can have u put the bar back in place and close the door

Read my spoiler in the play tab luckless. :)

I thought I had posted last night that Jamir put on his cleats when the others did and waved Lia to the front as soon as he saw the runes on the door, but it doesn't look as though it got through. In any case, he's wearing his cleats.

Will post later tonight when I get back to hotel; in Seattle visiting friends this weekend so post maybe only 1 a day

Craggark - don't forget to move your token on the map.

Done.
