Game Master dien

Bomf!

Invisible dot in Gameplay, visible dot here :) With my level 1 bloodrager for now.

Dot. SodiumTelluride here

So, this game could be interesting. What VC thought it smart to send a bunch of muscle heads together? :D

Someone who didn't want the mission to be thought about too hard haha

When your only tool is a sack of hammers...

Oh yah, YOU'RE a sack of hammers. :(

Your MOM'S a sack of hammers.

I think their plan was for the alchemist to look after us all :) Of course, we all know what happens once they start drinking...

The plan is to have everything dead before we need silly things like "healing" or "spells"

The best defense is a shock-and-awe offense!

Your MOM'S a sack of hammers.

Totes harsh, man. Totes harsh.

The best defense is a shock-and-awe offense!

... or a shockingly awful one. :)

So anyone got upcoming con plans? I may hit Strategicon, gotta make sure I can clear my schedule.

Nah. GenCon is the only one I go to, typically.

I'm in the Chicago area and organizing PFS for ConCeption the first weekend of October. Will also be at What Khan and possibly some of the Wisconsin cons later in the fall.

No cons for me (as usual).

I just went to GenCon and I have plans to go to SCARAB in Columbia in January.

If I have the extra hundred bucks laying around I might hit the mini-con in Asheville in October.

Or are we checking in here? :)

michaelane checking in here as well.

Dien, I've overlooked Ma'Huuk's default weapon, and will need to buy a spear before the game starts. I'm noting it on his char sheet. Just want it officially noted before we get going.

Okay, my original six players have all checked in, so we're good to go once gaming goes live. Thanks guys!

And yeah, spear-purchases or whatever else you have gold/prestige for are cool, people. I trust honor system until you give me a reason not to... *side-eyes Eben, for I know him to be a sneaky fellow*

Does anyone have an issue with Roll20? (I.e., you can't access it most of the time, or it doesn't work on your computer, or you just really hate it, or something?)

*side-eyes Eben, for I know him to be a sneaky fellow*

Who? Me? Noooooooooooo.......

And Roll20 works for me. :)

roll20 is fine with me. Heck, I DM my homebrew stuff on there.

Works for me...

I've never used it, and I don't know if I can access it at work. Would that be just for maps, or for the whole thread?

-Posted with Wayfinder

For maps.

Roll20 works great for me.

Ok I can't access it at work, so for map stuff I may need people to move for me.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Not to worry. We'll start with Roll20, and if it gets to be really annoying at any point, we'll switch to Google Drawings.

I'll throw up a post tomor-- later today, to kick off IC introductions, etc, even though we can't begin actual Play-play until the 19th.

Nice! I love Play-play! ;-D

Vargo and Jararaca, can you please post a mini-stat line to your profiles containing the basics? You can look at the examples that the other party members have as an idea of what info should be there, but as a rule the stuff I need in the quick ref is:

HP, AC (regular, touch, flat-footed); your saves, your init, and your perception.

Please make sure I can find stuff easily on your sheets if I need to. Vargo, do you have no other gear whatsoever other than the weapons listed on your sheet? And... probably a question I should have asked earlier, but, did you bring your horse with you to the desert? ;)

Will do - This is my first PbP with this character and I just have the paper sheet in front of me.

I will update it more when I have more time in a few hours.

If you'd like any help, let us know. I'm sure someone could copy/paste theirs for you if its help you get the info organized. It can be daunting to work through the formatting sometimes.

I will be taking a Fall Break trip with my family to Grand Canyon and Mesa Verde.

I'll likely not be able to post from Thursday to Sunday, so feel free to bot me if I'm up!

Travel safely! I'll bot you.

...sooo... What I forgot to mention earlier is that I have a local convention this weekend, Saturday and Sunday. I really did mean to get a post up before it hit, but it's.... 2:30 am, and I must be up and GMing games and organizing PFS in a few miserably short hours, so, my apologies for failing to get up the post with all your climbing that I meant to earlier. I will make time for it tonight, since fortunately I won't be GMing on Sunday and won't have half as much prep to be responsible for. Sorry.

I'm as interested as you guys in keeping this moving, since I'm getting on a plane on Nov. 3, but, I think we're going to be fine on time, so I'm not too worried about that.

Anyway. Time for me to go pass out, will post sometime Saturday evening.

No worries Dien. Cons are exhausting. I've got one next weekend so I may be spotty. This weekend I'm getting to play in a Pathfinder run at the old Ruins of Greyhawk. Good times!

You said it. GM'd back-to-back slots of PFS today. Also killed pregen Seoni with a slay living. Might get some pics up of the terrain I made later. Post definitely coming later: I started writing it, realized I'd misspelled "Climb" three times, and figured you all might prefer to wait for a post until I'm less likely to make a basic math error.

*zzznk*

Turns out I was the only survivor of our first go at the Ruins. Well, the rogue who couldn't stay for the second session made it out too I guess.

Dead
Elven wizard. Dead. Eaten by troglodytes.
Hunter's animal companion. Dead. Eaten by troglodytes.
Human cleric. Dead. Killed by necrophidius.
Dwarven paladin. Dead. Killed by necrophidius.
Human archer. Dead. Killed by necrophidius.
Hunter's 2nd animal companion. Dead. Killed by necrophidius.

Survivors
Hunter, who managed to make it out while disabled and at negative hit points only because he happened to drop outside the lair of the necrophidius and eventually woke up and managed to stumble out without any wandering monsters eating him.
Rogue, who avoided the killer second session :)

Our high spot was managing to kill an ettin with a bunch of first level characters! The racket of criminal elves at the entrance trying to make sure it didn't get to them were a big help.

Sounds grindtacular (and slightly awesome.) I'll see if my pregen Seoni gets killed in a few weeks! The Tier 2-4 team is fighting a mummy and half the team is paralyzed...

Okay, I'm back and ready to play.

It looks like I'm not up yet...

Yeah, sorry, convention knocked me on my ass. I'm working on a post right now though.

Okay, we're in the home stretch (this is the last encounter) and I will soon need your numbers and factions for logging and chronicle sheet purposes. Some of you have some, or all, of that info in your profiles already. Here's what I have so far:

Erevan Stormstride - #132076-18 - Faction: Sovereign Court - nothing more needed
Kaye Ginzel - Number? - Faction: The Exchange
Jararaca - Number? - Faction: Liberty's Edge
Ma'Huuk - #121383-9 - Faction: Liberty's Edge - nothing more needed
Vargo - Number? - Faction: Dark Archives
Hush - #89635-5 - Faction: Sovereign Court - nothing more needed

If you had your number listed and I didn't see it, my apologies, just point it out. Let me know if anyone's doing slow progression or is otherwise a weirdo.

133118-4 is Vargo's number

My PFS# is 133608-9

Turns out I have 6 bombs per day, not 4.

1 Alchemist
3 Intelligence
2 Extra Bombs feat because PFS Alchemists get this in exchange for losing Brew Potion feat

I forgot the bonus feat.

We can keep playing with me at 4 or 6 bombs for the rest of this scenario. I'm guessing this battle will be long over before I throw 3 more bombs.

Jararaca's number is 8979-28. Sorry for the absence this week. Work travel knocked me off the grid.
