GM Batpony PFS [9-04] Unseen Inclusion (Inactive)

Game Master Batpony

Welcome, named players, into the game! For those who have yet to play with me as a GM, do take time to read through my profile to give yourselves an idea of how I run games and my expectation.

As usual, do fill out the below for reporting purposes:

Name:
Character Name and levels:
PFS id:
Faction:
Day job:
(If you roll now, I assume you forgo the opportunity for faction goals that requires you to skip day job)

You are free to have any early discussions! Game will be starting March 5th as the rest of the Outpost games.

Name: Amazing Red/Peter
Character Name and Levels: Benedict Stark Investigator 5
PFS: 20056-20
Faction: Dark Archive
Dayjob: Craft Alchemy: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14

This character is presently still in her previous adventure, and once that's won (which I believe it very nearly is), will have a new level to add before proceeding with this one.

Since we've got plenty of time, I will sign in/fill in once that's done.

PFS ID: #1838-7
Faction: Grand Lodge
Day Job: Alchemy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

I have some cash to spend, but will work it out ASAP. Hey Gerald! Long time since our last pbp!

Ithuriel, pleasure to see you again! You are right...it’s been a long time! Hope you are doing well?!

Great! Everyone has checked in. Feel free to use this time to discuss, strategies and what not. With that said...

Our APL is currently 2.5, that means we will be playing upwards with 4 player adjustments. I know that the characters will specifically picked in advance for this, and everyone has access to the sign up sheet, so I will not force any character changes.

However, if people are feeling uncomfortable with the tier bump, I have an alternative. My other table (same scenario) composition is 1, 2, 2, 3 with two still not yet checked in [3,2]. Have given them a ping a day ago, but am giving benefit of the doubt of 24-48 hours more before no-show, so I'll see what I can do to move tables around to get a better in-tier setup if there is a consensus.

Perhaps a [3, 3, 5, x , x , 2] and a [1, 1, 2 ,2 ,2, 2] table would be a better mix.

Let me know what is everybody's general preference so I can make any arrangements timely prior to start date.

It sounds like that would put me in the higher-Tier, which is more than fine.

The question I'd ask before proceeding would be: What classes are presently at the other table?

I’d be up for a rebalancing if it helps APLs

I'm fine either way.

It sounds like that would put me in the higher-Tier, which is more than fine.

The question I'd ask before proceeding would be: What classes are presently at the other table?

Regardless Alexis would be playing at high tier even without arranging tables. The other level 3 player at another table is a Bard, while others range from fighter clerics to alchemist.

I’d be fine with rebalancing. A level 2psychic won’t be great playing up, I wouldn’t think.

No issue with rebalancing. I hope they make some progress with this site today during the code update because it has been a mess recently.

Gerald- all good. We moved to the states a little over a year ago.

Gerald- all good. We moved to the states a little over a year ago.

You picked a hell of a time to do that. What were you promised, a vanful of candy?

FYI, I'm away on a camping trip this weekend, 3/3 & 3/4 US/Pacific time.

I know this doesn't start officially until 3/5, but in case we want to start early and/or the rebalancing isn't settled by the weekend.

The simplest balancing movements would be the following. If anyone takes any objections to it, please let me know.

Would Amazing Red/Peter (Empiricist 5)and Alexis "The Odd" Trismegistis (3rd-level True Silvered Throne of the Esoteric Order of the Palatine Eye) be kind enough to move/check in to table 2?Over here!

And Frostwind (Tinkerer 2) and Bielsi (spiritualist 2) be kind enough to move/check in to table 1?Over here!

Name: Helikon
Character Name and levels: Lady Eurus of Clan Eurebius called Frostwind Alchemist (Tinkerer) 2
PFS id: 50731 - 14
Faction: Dark Archive
Day job: Craft Alchemy: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (12) + 18 = 30
Moreover Frostwind would like to make the following items
(Taking 10 for the craftcheck)
2 Antiplague
2 Antitoxin
2 Tanglefoot bag
3 Flasks of Acid
3 Smokesticks
3 Flasks of Alchemist Fire
3 Vermin repellant
=
145 gp
I hope I am at the correct spot!
Could you please set my character as inactive in the wrong campaign!

Checking in!

Name: Ebon Fist
Character Name and levels: Bielsi Spiritualist Lvl 2
PFS id: 143948 - 3
Faction: Scarab Sages
Day job: Profession (Scribe): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

I promise Bielsi gets knocked out a lot less than Kahwen, Kenza.

Please also remove me from the other campaign, GM.

@ Bielsi - Haha! Hopefully Kenza can keep conscious this time...

@ Avasir - Your message just made me realize you're also Arin! I promise there will be neither screaming, nor unnecessary fainting from this character.

Hehe, and there won't be snarling abyssal and other odd behaviors from this character. Just a timid academic trying to make it out in the world.

Please 'boot' me from this game so it's out of my Campaigns tab.

Ditto here.

I just realized that if we had am Ifrit we'd have a complete set of elemental races.

Starting gp: 1049

What does a masterwork backpack do?

I believe you treat your strength score 1 higher when determining the effect of encumbrance.

Yep. That's it. I hadn't realized how low my carrying capacity actually is when I built this character. Carrying very little and still at medium encumbrance. If I leave a few things in the lodge I can get back down to light with the new backpack.

Heads up, there's an unplanned work trip to site I'll need to make next week, Tuesday to Friday. While there is internet, I won't be sure if I will have time. Updates will be scarce to none during this time. Sorry guys :(

Life happens (and takes precedence over PFS). Thanks for letting us know.

Advance warning: tomorrow is both of my kids' birthdays, so I might not have time to put up a post. Also, this coming Saturday is their birthday party, so I also might not have time to post. Thanks!

Same as above. Life takes precedence :)

Happy birthday to your kids!

Are they twins or did you just crit on your d365 roll?

Definitely a Crit! They're a year and an hour apart! Haha.

My son's turning seven and my daughter's turning six.

Skeletons are my weakness right now as I'm entirely piercing as far as weapons go. I'll set up flanks and aid another through this fight. If I need to attack directly it will be improvised weapon to punch with the basket hilt of the rapier or alchemist's fire.

What was the (MA) next to some names in the init this round? They only have a move action because they were surprised or something?

And sorry for the wait. This round seems to have kicked off just after I went to bed, then work, then to pick up our son from school and a little playground time. Pretty solid block where I couldn't check in.

It is my tracking for Mage Armor!

Didn't expect that trip to actually work! I thought I'd just eat an AoO to allow everyone to maneuver for the best flanking, but hey, I'll take it :)

FYI, I will be away on a camping trip starting Friday late afternoon, through Sunday afternoon (US/Pacific time). I will very likely have limited or no coverage to post. I'll be able to catch up late Sunday. Feel free to bot me from late Friday to early Sunday.

I wasn't expecting to be away, but there have been multiple things over the last few days keeping me tied up. I'll be back again tomorrow afternoon.

I'm kind of stumped, guys. Anyone have any ideas of where to go from here?

If nothing else in the next 12 hours, i'll move us back to Obahar. Was waiting to see if anyone wanted to do or ask anything else at the alchemist. Gave a longer wait period due to the Easter weekend.

Same here. No other ideas. I guess checking back in would be for the best.

well, I suppose we could ask for the alchemist's own explanations of the book

I'm guessing it's been long enough and my mage armor should be over?

Boon rolls!

That was fast! Thanks and thanks for running the game and thanks everyone else for playing.
