Thanks much for the game! I need to finish applying a chronicle sheet and make sure the online character sheet is up to date for that. I will complete that tonight. Thanks!

Note for Mr. Copperpot. This most definitely will be low tier. If you dont mind playing out of tier we're good to go. Otherwise, if you wish to switch characters be my guest. I've gotta wrap up chronicles for the special tonight, but I should be good to get started this weekend.

Is a level 3 still out of the sub-tier?

I can change mine temporarily, at least, if it proves confusing :)

Also, Mr. Copperpot, level 3 is always considered out-of-tier in a 1-5 for purposes of gold and such.

Grand Lodge

GM

As Yesmoro said, 3 is always out of tier in a 1-5. Although in that case it wouldn't really be a penalty as far as rewards are concerned.

For Yesmoro and Narayan, it would be helpful if one of you would be kind enough to pick a different avatar for the scenario.

Checked in so far:
Narayan - Monk 2
Kolris - Investigator 1
Yesmoro - Angry Oracle 2
Copper - Inquisitor 1
Mr Copperpot? - Sorcerer 4

Awaiting 1 more check in.

Hey Untir. I've now played with you in three different games, but with three different characters. (Carini, Tenibri, and now Kolris)

You've always been Untir. :)

Nice to see you again.

Grand Lodge

GM

Filling out chronicles for Blood Under Absalom tonight. Should be able to get this one going Saturday. For now go ahead and introduce yourselves in the gameplay thread. As for Telos, play whoever you'd like. Muscle is... rather optional here. This scenario progressed the Taldor, Grand Lodge, and Cheliax faction plotlines during season 5.

Yeah, but it's Lore Warden muscle, so that might be better than a Sorcerer :P

GM, thought to get this out of the way now as it is likely to come up later. How would you rule on whether Untir's evil eye hex ability is obvious when he uses it? I imagine that we would be hitting some role-play heavy situations later and this would determine whether he can use it openly or not, e.g. hexing their sense motive when we're trying to bluff our way, etc.

Grand Lodge

GM

Untir: I'd likely treat Evil Eye similar to how intimidate is handled. It may work for the time being, but the subject will likely treat you much much worse later. Additionally if they make the save they'll know that they've shrugged off some sort of mental compulsion and will likely take that poorly. Id recommend using it in case of emergency only.

Everyone: Once you move into the library I'll be handling much of what occurs in some form of rounds, although not like 6 second combat rounds, but some amount of time in order to keep everyone on the same clock. Don't feel completely constrained by single actions, checks, etc though. Post a description of what it is that you're looking to do, how you intend to go about doing it, and I'll respond with what kind of check or checks will work for that and roughly how long you'd expect it to take. If a player is out for a day or so, rather than me botting them I'd like you guys to handle botting decisions. Feel free to make in-character requests of others. If a player needs to be botted I'll use those requests to decide what they end up doing.

Got it. For emergencies or just when we are leaving then.

Can I get a rough sense from the party who is not confident of their stealth? So I know how many "pass without trace" to prepare? Thanks!

“This patron will secure us a couple hours in the rare books collection at the Kitharodian Academy, during which we may peruse for whatever we wish so long as we also retrieve several documents of interest for our friend. That,” he punctuates by tapping the scroll tube on the table, “is where things get interesting. Apparently there is an even more precious archive hidden beneath the academy’s library, and our patron believes it to contain numerous original records and undoctored historical accounts otherwise unknown to the world! Our contact knows how to get into the archive and has shared the secret with us."

“Two hours is little time, so you must make the most of your time. I know it will be tempting to research other interests, but it would be
selfish for the Society to think of itself when the Worldwound’s borders threaten to envelop Mendev and beyond. I am sending you in with the express purpose of uncovering more information about the Shining Crusade, the sustained war against the Whispering Tyrant a millennium ago.

Just to clarify, are these two objectives the same thing? (I thought we were retrieving some documents for our patron from the section of the library we are currently in, and other documents for the Society from the hidden archive, but your last post has made me confused about that.

Sorry if I wasn't clear, I'm just waiting for everyone else to post something before I reveal any findings in excess of 'this is what the room looks like and appears to contain.'

Suffice to say, the first set of documents are a gimme. They are just your cover for even being here.

Apologies for my absence, my computer has been having issues, as have I. I should be able to fulfill posting requirements from work or the library, or mobile, although I am somewhat loath to do so from there. If needed, I can, though.

If you wouldn't mind making mobile posts simply to indicate what course of action you intend to take that would be helpful. I won't expect any in-depth RP posts from you until you get your rig back up and running.

Let me know if you have any issues with your chronicles. I'll keep them up for at least a month, and probably an awful lot longer. If you need any corrections I'll make those in the next day or so.

I'm glad you all enjoyed it! It's certainly a favorite of mine, along side of the Overflow Archives, and the Blakros Connection, both of which I'll probably run at some point.

I'll probably shut this thread down tonight, so make sure your chronicles are correct and post if you have an issue. You can PM me later if you catch a problem after that.

See you all around on the boards!
