Just another puzzle and social encounter. You have to convince the rats that they are dead by inserting sharp pointy things into them until they agree. ;)

Should I wait for Dahriakt, or I may post in front of him? I am asking since I will be going to my RL game, so I will not be able to post (maybe) next 8-10 hours.

And btw. GM, similar to Elindriel, my ini is +3, not +1; but with the natural 1 I rolled, it's not really important :-)

Yes, post and. I will apply them in order. And that teaches me to use a different computer to run inits.

I have genuine newbie question about Eli's attack roll, he attacked with both weapons (dual-wielding) - shouldn't he take a penalty for the dual-wield, even with the feat "two-weapon fighting", it will not make much difference in this case, but I want to know if I missed something :)

Two-Weapon Fighting @ d20pfsrd


Skills :
Acrobatics +8, Appraise +6, Bluff +4, Climb +6, Disable Device +10, Disguise +4, Escape Artist +8, Knowledge (local) +6, Perception +4 (+5 to locate traps), Sleight of Hand +8, Stealth +8, Use Magic Device +5

My normal attack when single wielding is +4 with the feats I take a minus 2 on the first and a minus two on the second (light weapon)so both attacks are therefor a +2.

I built the minus in the rolls.

And did I obliterate that last rat?


Male Owl

Oh alrighty then. :)

Sure what ever you think

Eli's face goes blank as he starts towards the crane.

Do I look like a dock worker... well. whatever let me see if I can even get that thing to work

attempt to get to the opperation portion of the crane. Any checks needed?

Eli, pardon my ignorance - Thosar was under the impression that someone needs to climb up there to lower the rope or something. Sorry for misunderstanding ;-)

Since these are INT checks effectively, can Thosar try to support (Aid another) Eli with his checks for additional +2?

No problem my charecter doesnt take to authority or people taking leadership over him thus low charisma. You could have told him to pick a lock and he would have had a reaction

hook and pulley for a sample pic of the pulley from the crane. I spent more time researching this than was probably worth.... but finally found something as I pictured.

So is the alley 10feet wide or is there a bottle neck right here in front of me.

I was also going to mention that since we are almost done with this mod...if you PM me your PFS# and the email address you want me to send the chronical sheet, that will save time later.

If you think about it, add your day job roll (if you have one) on that same message so I can include the gold for that as well.

Guys please tell me you are not waiting for me to post? I was under the impression that we still have 2 persons before it's Thosar's turn to act?

Nope not you.

here's hoping 17 hits


Slides/maps

Thosar:
Thosar, this is where it will get a bit complicated on your summons. First, I just wanted to check if it is a full round to summon (the usual time) or if you have some feat or skill you have that reduces it to a standard that I am overlooking on your sheet.

You cannot control the target the eagle attacks, so it would attack the closest enemy target. However, that target is also in mist, so swooping on halfling is probably ok.


Slides/maps

Elindriel:
As a clarification, with a failed save, the axe would be affected by the grease, requiring halfling to save each round to use it. Since he made his save, the axe is not greased. My post may have made it sound like it was greasy, but I checked the spell and it avoids the effect. There definitely is some discussion on this topic on the boards.

Wow - that was alot of posting and rules checking...

I can not believe the size of the blunder I made with casting time for Summon monster. I have completely forgotten about 1 round casting time. That would mean that eagle did not appear on previous round (Round 1) but should appear now (Round 2), but that makes a lot of mess for retconning (disrupted enemy caster etc.)

But tell you what, if you agree we could say that I started casting on Round 0 (surprise round), Eagle appeared on Round 1 and will still be there for Round 2 (Due to my Summoner's charm I get extra round) and the disappears, and I simply cast Mage armour now. Would that be OK?


Slides/maps

Thosar...no problem. We can play it out that way. The eagle prevented the halfing from getting healed, and nobody wanted that...except him of course. ;)

Sorry for shortness, traveling&posting from phone. Please consider Thosar to be casting Mage armor on himself when it's his turn. I should be home in 4-6 hours, but do not want you to wait for me guys.

No worries Thosar. I went ahead and rolled for your Eagle. Almost a crit. :-)

Sooo, Dahr...you realize we're kinda waiting on your action, right?


Slides/maps

If Dahr does not go by morning, he will delay. Elindriel go ahead and post. I have Thosar after that...can keep the stated action or modify if you like.

I am thinking we can wrap this up in the next day or two. I have sheets just about ready to send.

I did not realize there was nobody in the party able to cast cures. We may want to post for someone prior to next mod. Wands of clw are also available for 2pp.

"Do you have any suggestions to flush him out? Maybe a spell or a maneuver?"

I am assuming Light (spell) would not help in any way to raise visible level inside mist? I guess what i need is Gust of wind or something similar?

If he is a true rogue he ran away when his party went down.


Male Owl

I honestly don't know. My character asked without knowing what tricks his companions might have in their pockets, his intention was more to try to find a solution with the rest of the party.

But, gust of wind sounds nice, but it's lvl 2 right? If you have anything similar. Also it doesn't need to be a spell, some kind of out-of-the-box trick might work.

Male Elf Wizard (Conjurer) 1 Hp 8/8, Ac 13, Touch 13, FF 10, Fort +3 Ref+3 Will +2; Percept: +7; Ini +3

Nah, no lvl. 2 spells for Thosar for quite some time. Actually since I have spent my daily allotment of 3 spells for today, I am stuck with cantrips only and one of summoner's specials - Acid dart :-)


Slides/maps

He is a true rogue and you suspect he is running...also any actions with the 3 bleeding foes or 1 fallen friend (Eli)?


Slides/maps

We have just a bit of wrapping up to do on this mod, probably by tomorrow.

However, in preparation for First Steps #2, I was going to confirm that the 5 of you are still willing and able to continue together? Any changes?

If everyone is continuing, are you ok with just the party of 5 or are wanting to add another to replace Thessel?

If posting, would you want me to post on the general boards or anyone have a friend that would want to pull into the group?

Either way, I should have the chronicles out by the end of the week. We can start the next mod this weekend if we do not recruit...maybe a bit longer if we await submissions. Might give you time to make some purchases etc.

I plan on continuing, though I might make some minor changes to Elindriel between the adventures.

I wouldn't turn down a chance to have a divine caster, especially if the mods are geared towards 6-player groups.

I don't know of anyone that's been looking to do a PFS mod, so feel free to post a req to the boards, as far as I'm concerned.

Just to confirm Thosar's willingness to continue with PFS - First Steps track with same people :-) And Eli did have a valid point in there, some kind of divine caster might be nice, but it is not imperative IMHO.


Male Owl

Why are they taking Eli too?

'Cause it wouldn't be cool for us to have to drag his body to the Great Hall?


Male Owl

We could stop in a temple in the way? It seems like he is being arrested.

Scarab Sages

Male Elf Wizard (Conjurer) 1 Hp 8/8, Ac 13, Touch 13, FF 10, Fort +3 Ref+3 Will +2; Percept: +7; Ini +3

Yes, I also understood that they are "arresting" Eli in a way. That's why Thosar reacted - it's OK if they take him to a temple for healing and later release him, but I got the feeling that they want to throw him in the cell, along other culprits. Now, more importantly - any idea why they have attacked us?

Liberty's Edge

Male Elf Ranger 1

I have no idea why. They seem hired thugs.. Maybe hired by enemies of the Society. Or maybe by the Society to test us.

Ohh you guys were going to get it when I got out of jail but Thosar stopped it and I knew you guys wouldn't let me rot in a cell. Ohh but my bad charisma was going to fly if you did.

As for the thugs, they knew us to be fresh recruits. Saw us running around doing things and in all likelihood gain some sort of wealth for the society. therefor a trap to gain what is ours would be profit for them.

In a nutshell they are badguys doing bad stuff. But what do I know I'm the unconscious. guy in handcuffs. LOL

Yes I will be continuing if I ever wake up but wouldn't mind getting a healer or a wand of CLW.

Liberty's Edge

Male Elf Ranger 1

I'm just glad that Thosar stepped in. If my character had to approach the guards he would be all like "handover the rogue!" or something. He does not have a good time with figures of authority, neither is his good in certain social situations.

Male Elf Wizard (Conjurer) 1 Hp 8/8, Ac 13, Touch 13, FF 10, Fort +3 Ref+3 Will +2; Percept: +7; Ini +3

Bravo Archmoon - honestly, even while being a fellow elf Thosar still manages to see your character as a bit arrogant or brazen, but me as a player congratulate you on playing "in the character to the hilt", without being detrimental to the overall aims of the party :-)

Liberty's Edge

Male Elf Ranger 1

Thanks for the compliment :) That actually means a lot for a new player like myself.

Yes, he is arrogant, without a doubt, although if he had to step in, in this case, it would be more bad temper and aversion to authority than arrogance, I think. Still he is good aligned, he is benevolent and even cares to help his opponents and/or enemies who just attacked him. And he cares a lot about his new companions, although he does his best to conceal it.

And although our characters are are almost on opposites alignments, my character still has much more respect for you for the fact that you are an elf, and that's noticeable, he is more inclined to ask for your opinion or follow your indications, still he does not present any racial prejudices for other races (with the exception goblins, orcs, and evil races like demons or undead).

As for the other characters he sees Dahr as the sometimes passive "nice guy" of the group, Eli as the good-hearted odd human, he finds Elindriel somewhat annoying and they have both a tendency to bicker with each other but he respects her for her charisma and courage, and actually enjoyed Thessels care free attitude before he left.

Just letting you all know that I am still interested on continuing for the next scenario, and hopefully can get back to a more regular posting schedule, since i know i had made you all wait lately consecutively.

As for a 6th player, i say the more the merrier but i share the same opinion as Thosar, not imperative. So maybe look for some one for just a few days and if not lets just roll on?

I think CLW wands would do fine, most of the party if not all can use magic items (even Dahr!).
