GM Boldr's PFS 0-06 Black Waters (Inactive)

Game Master MisterSlanky

By Invite Only

A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 1st to 5th level characters (Tiers: 1–2, 4–5).

The Pathfinder Society seeks the ancient ruby ring of the salamander and it falls to a team of Pathfinders to find it. Last seen in the Tri-Towers Yard, a once elite academy for the youth of Absalom, the ruby ring is now lost in the Drownyard, all that remains of Tri-Towers after it was destroyed a decade ago in the great quake. The Pathfinders must risk the strange black ichors and salty brine to find their prize—will they risk their very souls as well?

Written by Tim and Eileen Connors

I honestly do not recall which tier we were looking at... I have the following choices, and am fine playing any of them!

Z'hor'll B'bblebr'x - Undine watersinger 2
Hamilton Trask - Slayer 5 (bardiche)
Black Jak Sparrow - tengu Mysterious Stranger 1/Swashbuckler 4
Thorval Thorvalson - Brawler (unarmed) 2
Ethan Jr. - Evoker 5
Glastor Glitterhoff III - gnome cleric (healbot) 1
Archer - Warpriest of Erastil 3 4

I'll be playing as Myani, level 2 Druid and her trusty triceratops, Ti-Ti. I'll get stats in here after a couple days... I have to build her up in HeroLab, I think.

Alternatively, to get you up and running if you can put your stat block in the character header as outlined in the about page, and if you can get your sheets scanned and put into Google Docs with a link to them in your profile, we can work with that too.

Ti-Ti and Myani should have their stats up appropriately now. I'll have their sheets scanned after I do some bookkeeping. :)

Dotting in as I rebuild from TWO slashing grace changes.

He's a 5 Swashbuckler, though if we're going low, I've got a 2 Bloodrager (Idris).

level 3 (monk 1 / magus 2)

I'll go with Thorval, I think, unless we could really use a bard. Been a while since I have played Z'hor'll, and I am not sure I am in this mood to get into his character.

I'm also fine playing down, considering this is a relatively new build that may be less than great...

If we want to play high tier, I will probably play Archer... just need to get him leveled up.

Okay everybody - I am in NYC until Thursday. Please get everything in-place so I can do a write-up this weekend to kick off the game.

There we go.

So, Whip Mastery + Improved Whip Mastery:
I do not provoke with a whip
I do lethal damage with a whip
I threaten with a whip
I threaten with a whip +5 feet

I should probably buy a buckler... or one of the swashbucklery-things.

Introduce yourself in the gameplay thread so I have your character registered as a player.

Does anybody have contact with Nate? I think he's the only one missing.

Are pbp usually written in present tense? I'm more of a past-tense writer myself, and I don't think it will matter for the intro post, but I do like being consistent...

I'd suggest reading the style guide in the Campaign Info tab. It'll give you a good idea how to write (first person present tense).

But, yes, present tense. Speak as you are acting, not that you have acted. Much like you would talk at the table. It takes a little getting used to, but you'll probably find it comes naturally after a short while.

If it's not to late I'll .in

Be bringing either my alchemist/fighter reach guy or a monk both should be at least 4th lvl.

We are looking at low tier. FYI.

Low tier, season 0. So...

FYI - for the characters listed we're at low tier, with a level 5 ringer.

I'll fix Echo's info tonight. She has a couple pearls of power level 1; I updated the skillz I know I improved, and added in her shiny new +1 BAB to her katana and umarmed strike.

Clearly 9 courses - so this will take up to 9 days depending on your speed of posting (twice today, yay!). Don't worry, this scenario is far more social than most give it credit for. Fighting will fight soon enough.

Once I insult Echo enough.

Bring it.

@GM.Boldr - I just received my Thaneguard Mantle, which I would like to add to Thorval.

I would understand if you wanted me to wait until the scenario ended, but if possible, I would like to add it to him (when we're not at the nobly house -- he'll get a delivery in game, or something).

Opinion?

I'll be fine either way.

Go ahead and put it on. Probably won't matter anyhoo.

Kind of what I figured. But, getting the resistance bonus on saves will be nice.

Thanks.

Unrelated, in Japan we went to a place known for gold inlays. All the tourist places there had various gold merchandise, including edible gold. Quite a few places had gold covered ice cream. I did -not- partake. Bleh.

If I didn't like Echo as a character, and this being PFS, I would totally have had Echo draw her sword and strike Lady Dacilane.

#Samurai4life

Silly samurai. This is why honor is such an artificial construct created by people looking for purpose. :-P

in any case, Echo, is not the host that insults her guest the one that loses honor? And an insult need not be accepted.

Need a reason to play up that 7 CHA.

There is that.

The woman is clearly still in grief after all these years. Ms. heartless Echo just walked right into the minefield. Can't blame Lady Dacilane if Echo's leg was blown off in the process.

This was going through my head yesterday: ~You're so vain... You probably think this course is about you~

Okay guys - I was going leisurely, but I had a request that a character be opened up for Gen Con. That means picking up the pace a little. We'll close out the social today and move on.

Question for all of you. Since most (not all, but most) of the combats in this scenario are really light, would you all like to go mapless for most of them? I'll bring out the map if things get confusing enough. Yeah, nay?

Don't matter to me. As long as we get good enough descriptions, we can make it fast and dirty.

Works for me.

Let's hit it and quit it!

As Jack indirectly pointed out - please read spoilers ONLY if your name is attached or it's explicitly stated you can.

In the current scene you as players may suspect something is up, but all of your characters have failed to see anything out of the ordinary.

Short of Myani - well done Myani for not rolling a 1 on your perception.

Yey for not 1s.

I'm cool without a map for combat.

For combats and the like, do you want me to use Ti-Ti in combat or just let her stand around lookin' cute? (Though I'm also questioning whether she'd fit in the ruins, haha). Or if she is present, just have her go on my initiative?

She is a class feature, so you can use her (I missed her, my fault).

I just need to find her sheet & stats again. Linking to her in your sheet might help.

She should go on her initiative.

Ti-Ti will help by posting here!

(( I'll link to her in Myani's profile. She's just been not present because you don't take triceratops to dinner. ))

Ti-Ti needs an initiative? Her default command is guarding Myani, though she can be wherever.

I may be a bit spotty posting this weekend due to travel, though I really expect this combat to be done before my gloriously high initiative comes around, like last time. :)

DAMMIT. Sorry. :-(

Well the good news is that Ti-Ti goes on three. So no biggie.

I keep writing posts right before someone else posts. Sorry for dragging back the action a bit. >_>;
