GM Aarvid PFS PbP : The Devil We Know Series (Inactive)

Game Master GM Aarvid

I am on vacation travel this week, so my posts may be short depending on phone/ web access.

I posted the session before I left and will have chronicles as soon as we wrap up. Worse case will be next weekend (they are printed, just need to be able to send them - which might not work on the road)

That concludes this chapter unless you have questions.

I had already reported the sessions. Let he know if you have problems. I will send the certs on Saturday unless I can figure out a way to do it sooner via ipad from the road.

You will each earn 2pp and 505gp if that helps with purchases.

For those of you interested, we will continue on as part of GD2. Whether as part 3 or something new was Un decided, murders mark was mentioned. I just worry if a party of 6 mostly 2nd level PC's will stomp a first level mod designed for 4.

Awesome, can't wait for the next one!

August will purchase a masterwork set of full plate (1650 gp), preparing to have it enchanted after the next adventure. That'll improve his AC by 3 and then 1 more just as he hits level 3. Of course he'll sell his current armor as well (gaining 75 gp).

Profession (Soldier) Day Job: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

Gm Aarvid, I am going to do some changes to Morvius while he is still lvl 1. Going to change his race to aasimar and his god to Gorum.

I have not played any of the santioned modules so I dont speak from experience but were they not supposed to be a little harder than the average scenario?

I heard paizo is making avaible a new scenario specially for this event. Maybe that is an option too.

Merck, I was trying to find the new scenario for this event but failed. Do you know the name?

Dont remember. I saw a thread about it somewhere. I will try to dig it once I get home.

I could swear that I saw it but cant for the life of me find it. Which brings me to the conclusion that I must have misinterpreted something in some random thread. Sorry about the confusion DM Aarvid.

You dont seem to keen on the whole Murder's Mark idea. What do you want to play DM Aarvid? I am fine with whatever you decide.

I am fine with murders mark...if it sounds good to the rest of you. My concern was just to provide a challenge for your group. I will order it and prep this weekend after sending the chronicles.

Of those mentioned above - I can't play The Confirmation at level 2

The Glass river rescue - technically my oracle is doing this now as a play by post, but it has been going on four months and the thread while not dead is basically on life support. I'll pull the oracle from this if it will get us a game in a new tier.

I read the blurb and reviews on Murders Mark, sounds like an interesting storty. More of an investigation than combat theme. I will order it this weekend.

On a side question on other entry level mods, I have played the Godsmouth Heresy. I have not played Crypt of the Everflame. The first seemed pretty good for a group of 6, we had one 2nd level PC. Anyone played Crypt and was it challenging?

I have played CotEF but not within the scope of PFS. It was quite challenging. I am set to play it as a PFS during the Game Day, same for Godsmouth Heresy.

I have played CotEF with my RL group outside of PFS but it was heavily modified by our GM. It was challenging alright but I am not sure how much of it was the original stuff...

I have created the campaign for the module. Please dot for future reference.

Aarvid Murder's Mark.

Ok, we did not make it all the way home tonight, so chronicles will be sent tomorrow once home. I fought with it on my ipad but could not share them. I apologize for the delay.

I have Murders Mark downloaded and will be ready to start for GD2.

Ok, chronicles have been sent (one fixed already).

Send me a PM if you have any issues with yours. I am going to hide this thread tomorrow while we play the game day and then I will re-activate it once we return.

I will wait until everyone posts in gameplay before we start up again.

Brought a cold iron mwk morningstar with money and a wand of bless with 2 pp. Applying season 5 boon Mendevian Weapon Training to Morvius, gives him proficience and a mwk glaive.

I have to update the character. Will do so tomorrow. Wife has my computer to apply for jobs at the moment.

I am not sure about the rules on enchantment. I have a MW nodachi that I want to enchant to +1. Is the amount to do this 2000gp? Otherwise An is ready to go!!

Yes, you should be able to just pay the 2k to upgrade the MW weapon.

Cool...ok then, An is ready to go!

Ok, so Kath is updated.

Purchases -
Upgrade Rapier (+1) 2000g
Mithril Buckler 1005g

Mithril Dagger (2PP)
Mithril Dagger (2PP)

(As I think only 1 prestidge purchase can be made during a senario technically one dagger would be purchased at the end of last senario and one would be purchased at the beginning of this one. If there is a problem with that please let me know.)

Buying also a noble's outfit and a silver holy symbol of Iomedae. Morvius is fully updated.

Going to be traveling the next 3 days, so posts will be shorter and sporatic.

Still traveling today, so limited access to update map. Uncovered all 3 rooms, but only middle door (or 3rd door) has been opened by August so far.

Since it was a couple days since my original post without a clear decision, I was trying to move things along. I

will assume if one person states an action, they are doing that on their own...if two or more state the same action or destination then I will assume the whole party does the same.

One thing I just realized (especially playing a couple bard characters and have been reading the rules wrong) is that perform can always be attempted untrained and take 20.

So as long as you do not care about failing, anyone can within 2 minutes (or whatever), play a song on any instrument with mastery. Seems counter-intuitive to me to say the least. :)

Huh. I always thought preform and craft had to be trained.

Nope, perform can be done untrained. But if you consider a lot of characters dump charisma... Most people cant play an instrument with mastery even if they try it for two minutes lol.

On the road, so cannot update map this weekend btw.

I will be on business travel this week, so I may have shorter posts. I will try to get the next map loaded in advance.

Getting close to the end...no more puzzles. :)

Lets go ahead and get day job rolls out of the way with your next posts. I am starting on the chronicles.

No day job.

Also, I'd like to change characters for the next game if that's ok. We have a very melee heavy front line group, I'd like to bring back my Oracle of Life for a bit more divine support. He should be finishing another pbp shortly and hit level 5.

does anyone know when we have to sign up to run games for the next online gameday?

Sorry Jacen, I have not seen anything recent on dates.

We are basically done here. I have recorded sessions but noticed the new factions were not available to select yet. So I may have to update them again once the website is updated (or if anyone knows a trick, let me know).

I have chronicles ready and will link in my next post.

Sorry this one was a bit of a grind with 4 or 5 puzzles and two combats with mist/dark concealment. The next should be quicker for those of you interested.

Let me know if there are any issues accessing the above or corrections. Remember that new factions were not available on the website, but I will correct them once they are.

Yay! Finally hit Level 4!

Congrats August :-)

When are you planning to get involved with the next part?

I liked this one, it was my favorite in the series so far. Morvius also leveled, he is now 3. Our apl may have switched up.

Congrats Morvius. The APL may go up, but I am not sure it will reach APL 5 (midpoint) to get to 6-7 tier. If they still used the (+1 APL for a party of 6, maybe).

If anyone knows when the next gameday is, we can time our start with that (if soon), otherwise we can start in a few days to give people a chance to level.

No leveling for An yet...still needs 3xp to go up! He might spend a little money purchasing some new armor...or maybe a magic nodachi....not sure yet

An, PFS grants 1 XP per scenario and each level is 3 XP, so the only way that could be true is if you just leveled, and since you just completed a mission that's impossible.
