Check-in!

/pop!

Grim has a Large Celestial Lion companion, would you prefer a separate profile be used for the Lion?

Dot.

Don't care. Your preference Grim.

Cool no worries, I'll keep them in the same posts.

I have no idea how to find Jellyroll/Susan. Anyone know how to contact them about the thread starting?

Sorry, no :(

Tektite checking in.

Jellyroll's profile page

Two people going into retirement, huh? Pressureeeeeeee...

P.S. - Thanks, sent Jellyroll a PM

If I haven't heard back from Jellyroll by Monday, then I will start the scenario. :D

Were all having a lovely chat, not quite the picnic of the Mists, but close :p

GREATCLUB TO THE FACE TAKA! GREATCLUBS!

Yeah ok, a greatclub to the face changed the mood... ;p

Time to get Mauler up in this piece.

Blame Taka guys...

Moving on without Jellyroll!

Sorry GM. It seems I forgot to mention am at GenCon this week(end). Running the first 8 slots and 8 different scenarios, I haven't had time to check the boards.

On the other hand, I've got to see Mr & Mrs EF, big Mike B., and the Bloomington group.

I'll be home on Sun and will try to update that night.

Nice. I'll be back in Bloomington in a week.

I can pay PP for the rez and I'll use cash for the restoration. I'll also pay 1PP to remove curse if that helps with the cursed wounds. If that won't work then I'm stymied as to how to proceed.

Are we playing high tier or low tier? I'm just trying to figure out if we're unlucky or outmatched.

I think we got mostly unlucky there, some horribad rolls coupled with no prep/buff time and into a heck of a fight. Those things were pretty serious...

You only need to pay for a Raise Dead, correct, not a Res?

@Gregor: Remove Curse doesn't work on Cursed Wounds (at least it doesn't say it does). You would have to buy healing if no one in the party can do it and hope I roll well for the caster level checks.

It's high tier with the APL of the party. This is a notorious Season 0 TPKer at high tier from the threads on it.

@Everyone: I will update the thread by tonight (Japan night time) as I am travelling back to the United States over the next two days.

Depends on how hard time is against us... we might end up needing to sit on the deck chucking CLW etc until we get there. Maybe that 48 hours I scoffed at could actually happen o.O

In theory, you could spend a few days. There is nothing in the scenario that is time-sensitive.

You can take 1d4 ⇒ 4 days of rest before you have to continue your exploration due to to pressure from the Decimvirate.

Each day you will gain you HD in HP and this is not magical healing, thus it is not hindered by the Cursed Wounds. Full bed rest for a day will heal 2x your HD. Four days should be enough to fully heal everyone of their cursed wounds, right? Well, except for Gregor. Even on full bed rest for four days, he would only get 88 HP which would leave him with 5 Cursed Wounds.

Actually 15. I assume I'm still able to attempt to heal with a caster level check?

You are able. In fact, you could heal yourself while doing bed rest for four days.

DC 26 Caster Level Check

OK...so not as to clutter the game play thread with items from the wayback machine:

Day 1: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19
Day 2: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28, Cure Serious Wounds: 3d8 + 10 ⇒ (5, 7, 4) + 10 = 26
Day 3: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22
Day 4: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

Perfect, you are fully healed!

Wow...cursed wounds are a pain in the butt!

Will be off on the road tomorrow, so wont be able to post for 24hrs ish.

I had been keeping quiet, letting the live ones make a decision, but I'll put my two cents in.

They way I see it (which may not be the way GMBS sees it), at this point, Allie and Shin are captured, in the harbor of Absalom, alive. I would think that all it would require is a 5 PP body recovery and a Remove Disease at this point. Body recoveries are usually performed in time for Raise Dead to be performed, and being so close to the Lodge, I would think it could be done in less than 24 hours, easily.

Though Shin's final adventure was less than thrilling, if we can use the axe money for a Raise and Restoration for Grim and Allie and Shin can get away with spending 5 PP and the cost of a Remove Disease, than I say cut loses and do it.

At this point, this game is on hold, as everyone calculates risk to characters.

To be clear, I'm only for abandoning this scenario if everyone gets out alive. If we can pool the necessary gold and PP to get Allie and Shin out alive then that is my first choice. Leave no agent behind...but we don't necessarily have to be the ones to pull them out.

If it is impossible to send a team in to rescue Alie & Shin then we do it ourselves. But if at all possible we should go shopping first so that each of the survivors has a way to deal with incorporeal and hardness and maybe buy something that makes a big boom; putting Dora's awesome UMD bonus to good use the next time we're heavily outnumbered.

Assuming we have enough gp to do so.

IF the above math is right then ok that is less sucky that I thought it was at first glance and probably right and we can call it there and get them simply recovered - did we qualify for XP or PP?

I would hazard a guess and say it would come out as 1xp, 0PP, and partial gold.

Cool, just doing the math :)

Alie has the PP and gold once a decision is made.

I agree with Shinkeer. Calling it?

Pending GM sitrep I think.

? I'm the GM. Wayfinder doesn't allow for aliases. Kinda lame, but makes checking from my phone easier

-Posted with Wayfinder

In line with Shinkeers post :p
Is it just 5pp for a rescue, and then a remove curse?
If thats all it was then I think the consensus was to draw a line in it.

On the other hand if it was a case of us having to go in and get them per Gregors post then we'd probably continue :)

Ok, sounds like you will be calling it then. 1 EXP, 0 PP and gold for any gear/encounters so far.

Gregor will have spent money and PP for his rez/resto.
Grim covered his in game.
Shinkeer and Alie will spend 5 PP and 150GP for Remove Curse.

Correct?

That seems to be the favoured outcome.
It was fun whilst it lasted! Was the lower tier a little more balanced out? It LOOKS like it has all the nuts and bolts of a good scenario - just that opening encounter and the warp-stomping Xill were a touch rude :p

Sounds good to me. You sending out chronicles, DM? I'll happily pay 150 gold and 5 pp to get away from those dang xill, lol!

Lower tier:
1 Golem and 2 Turrets
Weaker Tiefling Ghost
4 Xill
Reduced monster chances in fourth encounter
Reduced Xill Cleric and 4 Xill instead of 8 Xill on final encounter

Also, fourth encounter can be solved without fighting or damage, but also can end with the party getting hit with disintegrate.

LOL oh I see.
Lower seems a bit less ugly :)

PFS #s and Day Jobs please.

65114-11

No Day Job

Chronicles will be posted here after you post your PFS #: Here!

I realize that the fun may have been lacking, but I hope that it was at least memorable despite its brutality.

41662-2

Prof Sailor 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19

Oh yeah, thanks Dicebot, NOW you come through - stay classy...!

On a side note, I see Lyrics of Extinction still has a spot. Reckon we'd be done by 4 Oct?

Dora retires with slow xp. (1/2) as she hits 12th level. Not bad for a throw away character I thought I would only play once.

9884-4

perform: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22

Thanks GM and all. Maybe not the best ending to a long career, but certainly memorable

PFS # 6919-3

Perform: Oratory: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Not sure if I'd be able to use this boon to earn one prestige, but its worth a shot.
