GM Chyro [PFS Season 0] Perils of the Pirate Pact (Inactive)

Game Master Chyrone

The text for running jump doesn't mention that bonus, the only mention of a +2 circumstance,

I'm probably confusing pathfinder rules with D&d rules for a "jump" check.

Your chainmail gives you a -5 penalty.

I ALWAYS forget about this. Mainly because most of my other characters wear light or no armor. Sorry.

For the record... I do have a trait that gives +1 to acrobatic checks! Not that it will change the result. lol.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Whether the action "works" or not, this is what my character intended to do. So... let's set how it all plays out! Spots should have no trouble tripping one of them.

Just let me know if you need any special rolls, or anything. If Draylan falls in the water, so be it. If he somehow manages to reach the ledge, and can pull himself onto the deck, great. Perhaps in mid air... seeing he's not going to make it, he can grab hold of the gangplank on his left side instead to save himself from dropping to the water.

Whatever you think applies. No matter what happens, you can't say it wasn't eventful. :)

With that prospect, you'll be rolling a swim check to get back to shallow water. DC 10, AC penalty applying, to move half your speed as a full round action. Fail by 4 or less, nothing, fail 5 or more and you'll be peeking people's swimwear.

Keep in mind Spots' position might change, since you two are after the 2nd sailor in initiative.

But indeed, eventful :)

The other team has finished their halfling encounter.

The girl rolled high on acro and fled from the monk (and the scene) and they took Froddo captive for questioning.

Now to see what gangplank they're going to use.

Sorry for the delay, don´t have lots of time this weelend.

Team 'Rowdy' has taken the middle gangplank.
More freedom of movement....ugh those trip-build monks...

No, I here! Will post in game thread on a few minutes.

Sorry for disappearing!

Welcome back.

Flank it, shank it...kill it! :)

Nooooooo prisoners to torture.. interrogate... unmmm for others. . Yes others to interrogate while I can't see or hear.. :-)

I've moved Draylan 1 square east, as Kenji posted he went for flanking.
Draylan's hitting anyway.

1:02:30, is what instantly popped to mind :)

Only 1 more fight after this to finish the mission.

Yep that's basically where I got it from.

Just a question;

As the gnoll is flatfooted for not having acted in the first combat round, don´t he should lose his dex to touch AC?

The gnoll was keeping watch in front of the door to room C and would see Sele, a stranger, climb down.
Though lower in init, he would be aware of you.

Flat-footed and touch are different.
He wouldn't lose his touch AC to being flat footed, since touch AC refers to, well, being touched upon your armor.

Team rowdy, worse for wear healthwise than you, went cdg on the gnoll, and 2 are even coming to discussion on the faith. *smirk*

Now i doubt they'll lose easily now, but hey, the diplomats yes, you have been swooping through this mission with more ease :), gj guys. Just need to kill Pildadouche and the gnoll and you're in the clear.

Keera has brought up a point.

So far, as the perceptive might have noticed, i've not used the flat footed condition in the 1st round against anyone in any of the scenarios.

Would you prefer i keep it that way, or go onto flat-footed?
Works both ways.

Generally, if we were just starting out, I would say let's stick to RAW, but in this case, I'd say stick to the way we've been doing it, to keep it fair to all concerned. But I'm good either way.

I prefer to use flat footed for the next scenarios. In this one, just go on as it has been done.

To those interested, on page 3 i had a spoiler with other scenarios.
With some having played a few, i'm respoiler-ing it edited.
Keera, you said you could apply GM credit for Among the Living?
Not that it's at the doorstep tomorrow.

Edit: i'd be using but renaming this thread.

I would be happy to participate for these. I have played Among the Living, but I definitely could GM it or use a star replay.

Still waffling about Lyn. Archery is feat intensive though, and I remember it being awhile before my ranger was doing much reliably. I'll stick with this build for at least the next game for consistency's sake. After that, Lyn will be 2nd level. I may want to sub in my 2 nd level dwarf barbarian after that, if that would be ok.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Sure.

Another dwarf barbarian?

Well, it is only a possibility! Lyn hasn't needed to face thanks to Sele's rolls.

And we have so much melee, archery gets hard until I can worry less about cover.

I hate to keep rebuilding, but a bard could be quite strong for our current party.

Really, I just need to get a feel for what I want Lyn's character to be. After another game I may feel more attached and likely to want to continue with her.

At least it's not a halfling barbarian. ..

Sele is up for the next

Draylan (still shaking the water out of his ears) and Spots are available for another assignment!

Reported and sent.

I'd like to start the next scenario, after which the glorious lvl 2 & 3 are achieved, next monday.

Tomorrow i'm helping my folks pack for their holiday on friday.

Ok

Ok for me too

np

Just putting up the intro, don't worry.

Ooooh, I've played this one, gonna have to bow out - please pm me when you start the next scenario after this... I'd love to play again with you all.

I will, too bad Kenji :/.

Can you get replacement credit to get to lvl 3?
Since the next scenarios are tier 3-4.

Also, i spoilered the planned list some posts above, so maybe you have something to fill in gaps.

I missed that list somehow... I've played Perils of the Pirate Pact too... I'll see if I can't get into some other games while I'm waiting to try to keep up.

Wow....it's almost 2 days without a post.

I'm sure i mentioned renaming but continuing to use this thread.

Bork! Bork! Bork! well since you rejected me from that other game, for a semi-pally i'm sulking.

Hey, that wasn't me, that was the three players left that voted for the paladin. I even mentioned i knew you had a good posting rate.

I'll check in over in gameplay. I wanted to review potential purchases first, but I haven't printed and filled in my char. sheets yet.

-Posted with Wayfinder

He wasn't even a full pally it was borken sorc pal thingy.. :-)

Sorry, bad week at work, but I´m here more o less.

Stuff happens.

Poor little girl, why would they script thhat? :/

No doubt! Some of these older scenarios do this kind of thing though, including a suicide in one.

In season 5 I'd exepect a demon in disguise, but here, it's just Game of Thrones harshness I guess.

-Posted with Wayfinder

But like GoT, even teenagers aren't what they seem to be. ^^

Draylan, Kitty, yoohoo??

Lynthara, what tier did you play Among the Living?
That scenario is pretty Resident Evil :)

Here. I was out of town (camping) until tues. Wed was a 600 mile drive back home, too tired to catch up on all my games that night. Back and ready now. Sorry for the delay

I'd thought Lynthara to take some distance before attempting the diplomacy, being on 8 hp.

Your diplomacy's going to have to be much higher.
DC 24 to shift sahuagin from hostile towards unfriendly, on which of the two did you try the diplomacy?

You cannot use Diplomacy to influence 'a' given creature’s attitude more than once in a 24 hour period.

This would suggest you could attempt an appeal to the other.

The injured one's less likely to be open to discussion after getting hurt.

Bah, I'd need a nat 20. Why the hell is no one else rolling swin checks? Is.that only required if you move? Do your characters have swim speeds ir something?

Anyway, I'll just take a full round to swin 15', assuming calm water, and get behind Spots. Please move me, I am on mobile.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Sorry, missed the part about 5' depth. Just too frustrated to pay attention!

Still want to move back 15'. Diplo. attempt was on uninjured one.

I'm sure my own fighting power will be unneccessary anyway...

-Posted with Wayfinder

I mentioned the water only being 4-5 ft deep.
So any creature that isn't small, looking at Spots, has the advantage of being able to stand, in my opinion.

Spots would have to make swim checks.

So with only just over a meter of water, you can still move, just at half speed.
------------------
As for the change in avatar, i'm adjusting it to whatever theme i'm going to throw at my homebrew party next....don't tell anybody else.

Something another GM (who went missing) did, i'll take for these games.

If there are no posts within the 24 hours given for your turn, you'll be delayed until after your next last friendly in line went. This case being last in the round.

Thus player [X] still gets to do their own turn....and i'm not to blame for 'stealing' your victory or missing against an invisible foe. ^^

<--Rolled the killing blow for homebrew party, against invisible foe at crucial moment.

I'll just take AoO & saves if applicable.
