GM Debug's PbP Gameday 7: PFS-RPG 09-14 Down the Verdant Path (Inactive)

Game Master DebugAMP

Welcome! Please read my profile and make sure you're happy with what you see.

Yarr, Pirate Rob here. I'm going to assume the game with my Concordance character isn't going to finish in time so...

Name: Pirate Rob
Character: Flavias Gulianus
PFS: 757 - 42
Faction: Sovereign Court
Progression: Normal

TrinketMike here. Thanks for having us.

Player Name TrinketMike
Character Name Jeb Barlo
PFS # 293444-4
Faction Grand Lodge
Class and Level Kineticist 1

Player Name gemmik
Character Name Fuzzzy
PFS # 293440-2
Faction Silver Crusade
Class and Level Wizard 2

Fuzzzy is a very forgetful wizard who has a pet owl named Bobby to help him stay on track.

I am just a kid so not much bad language please. Thanks!

"Hooooo!"

Player Name RabbitAlmiraj
Character Name Watergreen
PFS # 293425-4
Faction Concordance
Class and Level Shifter 1

This is my first time using this character so I am very excited! Thank you for letting me play!

Oh! And I am also a kid.

PirateRob - We'll be starting at the beginning of GameDay 7 which is 8/13, so if your Concordance character is free by then, feel free to switch.

Watergreen - This is my first time seeing a shifter at one of my tables, so I look forward to seeing how they play!

This adventure introduces the newest faction, the Concordance. There are some special rules in this one regarding changing factions if you wish to join them, and I'll announce those as we begin the game. As a note, I'm also GMing the Solstice Scar C special during the first half of GameDay 7, and crazy as I am, have ended up with the tier 10-11 table. I expect the kickoff for this game to be a bit on the slower side as I learn the rules for a full table of near-retirement pathfinders on a multitable special time clock, but once we get going I'll try to keep a decent pace and make sure that we wrap up in time for table 2. If anyone is planning to use these characters in the second special, or in any other slot 2 games I'll make sure we're done by then.

Player Name Blazej
Character Name Korad the Avalanche
PFS # 2104-14
Faction Exchange (Open to changing factions)
Class and Level Brawler 4
Progression Normal

If it works out better I can also play a 3rd level character from those I have created. Otherwise I could always go for an another 1st level character.

I love shifters. I have played some before at home. But this one I made all myself so I am very proud of that.

If there's a bustle in your Stonehenge, don't be alarmed now...it's just my most fitting character.

Player Name I'm Hiding In Your Closet
Character Name Angrboda Fossey (and Eniac!)
PFS # 40025-6
Faction Grand Lodge...or is it???
Class and Level Druid 3
Day Job: scavenger (Survival): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20 I've got a folio reroll - and also 2 degrees of Ye Olde Season 6 Grand Lodge Faction Award - I'll want to try on that if it/they remain unutilized by the end of the adventure.

Now, for want of a Faction quite like the Concordance, Angrboda's been shacking up with the Grand Lodge - but I'm now ready to make the jump!

As such, could you please tell me what that takes?

Shifter 1
Kineticist 1
Wizard 2
Druid 3
Brawler 4
Mesmerist 4
___________

APL = 2.5

That puts us at low or mid-tier. Mid-tier for this party would be high-tier with the 4 player adjustment. Given that we have a pair of 1s and no 5s, I intend to run this in low-tier.

Regarding faction change: Hold onto your current factions (for now).

Gameplay thread is now open for people to check into.

PirateRob, any update on your Concordance character?

Currently in the final fight of Gallows 3, I've got hopes that it'll be done in time but is still iffy. She'll also be level 4 so no changes to tier.

OK. If none of you mind, I think I'd like to start this game a couple days after the start of the GameDay just so I can get my table situated for Solstice Scar C before I start learning all of your characters.

That's fine. We'll just introduce ourselves until then.

All right! Both specials, the one I'm playing and the one I'm running are up and moving! One of my pre-gameday games has wrapped up, and 1 more in wrapping up as we speak (hopefully). That being said, if you have any pre-scenario purchases to make go ahead and do that now. We'll start (officially) tomorrow afternoon.

Maps are uploaded! Have any of you played in any of the scenarios in the 'Tyranny of the Winds' trilogy or 'Tide of Twilight' with these characters? 8-08, 8-10, 8-12, and 3-05 are the scenario numbers.

I'll kick off tomorrow at lunchtime, pacific time.

PirateRob, did your character break free or will you be using the previously posted one?

Sorry for the delay; lots of different fingers in lots of different pies right now.

I have never played this character before. So no.

The boards are back up! Updating my other games then I'll kick us off.

Nope, never played those scenarios.

I have not played any of those scenario with this character.

Sticking with Flavius, still haven't escaped final fight of Gallows3 with Concordance character.

Wow this thing has not let me post stuff at all.

No I haven't done those missions.

Just checking in now that the forums are up again.

The boards are alive! Hopefully they shall stay that way! Hopefully everyone is still with us. If anyone assumed the worst and went off to play their characters in another game during this break let me know. Otherwise, let's pick up where we left off.

OK, so if we're incredibly lucky, the boards are up for good... but given past history I'm going to be hedging my bets.

When I recruited for this game it was with the intent that any character used in this game would be available for use in the Assault on Absalom special. The current special (Solstice Scar) has been cut down in length a bit in order to avoid pushing the start date for Assault on Absalom out too far, which also puts constraints on this game, presuming I want that promise to hold.

So first and foremost, I'd like to have some way to communicate with you in the event that the boards tank again. Please save a link to the slide package for this game as I will be putting announcements up on the first slide that you can see during outages. Additionally, the official Pathfinder Organized Play Discord server has a PbP GameDay VII channel. You can find me in there as DebugAMP. I am currently exploring the possibility of moving as many of my games as possible to another location, likely Discord.

As it happens, we are very very early in the scenario still... as in we just finished the page with the introduction and knowledge checks. We are now up to a week and a half of downtime for what I expected to be a 6 week game. That's roughly equivalent to being kicked off of our table for an hour or so at an in-person convention. If that happened to me, especially this early into the scenario... well... there's a good chance I'd have wandered off.

So...
If you'd like to relocate this game to the Roll for Combat Discord lodge, let me know, either by email (posted on slide 1), discord PM, or message on the slide show.
If you're absolutely sick of this downtime and just want to drop so you can play your characters elsewhere, let me know the same way.

I have no promises the site will remain up, but I am personally still happy to play in this game despite the erratic site. I don't have any real preference for changing location, but if something works better for the rest of the group, I will understand and go with it.

Thanks for weighing in (by post, email, etc). I will be keeping this game on the boards. I'll do my best to keep things moving to try to get us done before slot 2.

I'd rather stay here. I don't want to get my Internet fingerprints all over yet another site just yet just because of whatever this is.

Otherwise, there are worse things than getting an unexpected reprieve.

At the moment I have a Day Job check from Angrboda only. If anyone else has a day job, please go ahead and roll that now. Also, if anyone has decided that they wish to be full fledged Concordance members at the end of this scenario let me know as soon as you've made your decision.

Korad's Dayjob
Profession (merchant): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

Also, if anyone has decided that they wish to be full fledged Concordance members at the end of this scenario let me know as soon as you've made your decision.

*raises hand*

Fuzzzy (with Bobby's help) attempts to organize a charity event to help people who have memory problems! Unfortunately, getting them to remember to show up proves difficult...

Diplomacy: 1d20 ⇒ 12 Failing.

Faction Goal: Forgo your Downtime and succeed at a Diplomacy, Knowledge (local), or Perform (oratory) check with a DC equal 15 + your character level to organize a charity event. Alternatively, donate resources worth 100 gp per character level to charity.

I do not have a day job or a downtime check. I am already a member of the Concordance and will stay that way. I will be checking off a boon from my faction goals:

"Adventure either on another plane or in the Mana Wastes, the Shackles, or the Worldwound."

Flavias will use his downtime to attempt to build connections within Taldor's elaborate noble hiearchy.

know nobility: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13
campaign coin reroll: 1d20 + 11 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 11 + 5 = 24

(Checking off box 7/20)

Jeb has no day job and won't use his downtime. He will attempt a faction goal though:

"Convince an NPC to work as a Pathfinder Society contact, or convince a disaffected agent to work with the Society again. This requires a successful Diplomacy or Knowledge (local) check with a DC equal to 15 + your character level."

He'll try to convince Azure to work for the Pathfinder Society as a contact.

Diplomacy: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (14) - 1 = 13 Failing.

Also... let's get this out of the way as well.

Boon rolls (Alphabetically)
Angrboda: 1d20 ⇒ 14
Flavias: 1d20 ⇒ 11
Fuzzzy: 1d20 ⇒ 9
Jeb: 1d20 ⇒ 15
Korad: 1d20 ⇒ 16
Watergreen: 1d20 ⇒ 13

GM: 1d20 ⇒ 4

No boons at this table

Chronicle sheets are ready!

Feel free to continue RPing with Asashar (and each other), but since you've completed the scenario (officially) I figured I'd get the paperwork done so you can get ready for slot 2.

Chronicle looks great, thank you so much for GMing. My apologies for having to phone in in for a bit in the middle during my trip. Had a great time though.

Looks good. Thanks for letting the kids and I play. We had a great time.

Fuzzzy, your new job is to annoy everyone with that hat. Forever.

Weird quibble - mind subtracting the "and coos"? Otherwise, I don't much mind a giggling ration sack.

I think Flavias rivals Fuzzzy for the "crazy mutant item" sweepstakes: A sickle covered in eyes reminds me of Hebrew angelology!

Also, using my folio reroll and other Grand Lodge Chronicler bonus on my Day Job:

Survival: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27

Please adjust that accordingly as well. :)

Also, what exactly was with that Geoliphant?

Believe it or not, those oddities are actually scripted. If you dislike the cooing... well... that's what the cold iron box is for.

Day job reward updated. As for the elephant, that's Ashasar's animal companion I believe. Probably fleshed out more thoroughly in another adventure.

Our stuff is so funny!
