[PFC] GM Granta's The Delirium's Tangle (#45) (Inactive)

Game Master Granta

Please post the following info:

Ironshanks here. I'll update the table in a bit, just want to be sure I'm not going to make any changes once his present adventure ends.

Dwarven Fighter 1

Just dotting in here, will be either Prisim (Sorcerer-4) or Khellek (probably bard-2) assuming they survive.

If I get a vote I'm throwing it to Khellek, big fan. Well done from what I've seen so far of him.

I'm hoping we stick to low tier, since this PC is only level 1.

Whether you have played/GMed this scenario before: Played it 4-5 years ago in standard. Don't remember much detail.
Any questions or miscellaneous information: I don't think I've updated his character stats online yet, so I'll try to get that done in the next day or two. When are we starting?

We can start as soon as this game finishes, which should be within a week. There is something they could do to make it last longer, but I would be surprised if the party takes that path.

Hey all, dotting in as well though I haven't figured out why it's called that. I guess it just sort of caught on and stuck at some point? :P

I'm torn between playing either a Sorcerer or Cleric, both level 1. Still working out some ideas, so let me know if you'd prefer one over the other. Haven't played or GMed this scenario before and I'll get round to updating the rest sometime tomorrow after (hopefully) deciding.

Welcome Reed! Err... Ahre. Don't ferget yer boots!

Hehe, something tells me I won't be getting those boots back anytime soon unless the hungry earth that swallowed them has a serious change of heart. :P

I'll update the character sheet and finish up equipment and traits etc later today, but it's 9am and I haven't slept yet so that's a thing. I haven't actually played a full caster before, but I imagine Ember has a passion for magic as bright as his flames yet harbors a heart as warm as the remnants that match his name... or something like that. Looking forward to playing with you guys soon, merry Christmas in advance and stuff. :)

I just need Khellek and Ironshanks to enter their info here. Let's plan on starting right after Christmas. Unless people would rather wait until after New Year's to get a consistent start. This is my first holidays on PbP (and I'm not Christian), so I don't really know how much effect the holidays will have on the game.

Sounds good, anytime is fine for me.

Not played or GMed before
SLOW advancement

I'm fine to start straight off :)

I'll be reasonably busy during the holidays but not enough to not being able to post once or twice a day. I'll get my info in a bit, just finishing leveling.

Any questions or miscellaneous information: My first Core character... and he swears a lot so please let me know if that's a problem...

Any spell recommendations for first level that would help you guys out? I'm all ears.

My arcanist tries to keep burning hands prepared, its quite solid for low level, especially since swarms and area damage mix nicely. It also seems fitting for your name. I would say it depends on how your want to run your character, you don't get many options. I would suggest detect magic be one of them though for level 0s.

Yeah, Detect and Read Magic seem almost mandatory though it would be interesting to play without them. Ember has Prestiwhatever to get the breadcrumbs and blood stains out of your beard if you ask nicely, and Spark for some neat little magic tricks and on demand roasted marshmallows. Was leaning towards Burning Hands for the exact reason you said, though it probably wont see much use unless we get some crazy ideas. And you've seen what happens when I get crazy ideas... :P

I played a sorcerer without read magic. Cause a bit of problems recently so picked it up at 4th.

Playing without detect magic is probably not too bad, means you can save those scarce skill points and not worry about spellcraft or know(arcana)!

I'd second burning hands as very helpful against swarms.

If you do put ranks in Spellcraft, consider spending 2 PP for a wand of identify.

Thanks, that wand does sound pretty useful. And burning hands it is.

I'm dropping out of this one.

Ya read magic on a sorcerer is less important than a wizard, unless you're using a bunch of scrolls. If you've got a decent spellcraft check then often you can ID stuff with just a detect magic/spellcraft roll. Those spellcrafts will be tougher though without the high Int. Sorcs sure are limited in skills, most go with social skills to take advantage of that nice Cha.

Sorry to see you go so soon Groosalugg. Fair travels.

I like read magic on all casters. Almost every scenario includes scrolls in the treasure.

Ya its a good one to have but sometimes its just not in the concept for a character, and I can see it definitely not being in on a sorcerer with the 'innate' magic ability. "Yes I cast spells, no I don't really know how or what they are."

I'm dropping out of this one.

Was it something we said, or everything we said?

I think it was just that I asked you to dance first.

Haha, apologies if it was all the talk of elven and dancing. Take care Groos.

Agreed on the Spellcraft and Read Magic points, thanks for the help. They're both pretty useful in they're own right. Do new characters start with PP?

All fresh characters start with 0PP and 150g. Each mission will award 1 or 2PP depending on the mission and if you completed all of the objectives, as well as gold of course. Usually around 400-500g for a first level mission so I've seen so far.

We will miss your sword Groos. I feel sort of ghoulish being able to join as someone leaves. Here is hoping everything is okay and you success in all you endeavor.

Or, if you fail a mission, you can get 0PP

I have never played or GM'd this scenario.
Spending money items:
wand of Magic Missiles (2 PP)
2x potions of cure light wounds (2x 50 gp = 100 gp)

Ah yes purchases are being tracked closer now? If so Ironshanks bought the following after returning from the snowy north:

Wand of Cure Light Wounds 2PP
-330g (+15g for old axe) MW Dwarven Waraxe

Remember, until you first play at 2nd level, you can sell back equipment at full price. So Ironshanks can get +30 gold for his old waraxe :-)

Really? I was always under the impression things got sold at half price at any time, but I haven't played PFS for long at all. Damn, that changes some things.. I may have actually had the gold for that darkwood large shield after all... I hate Armor Check Penalties.

IT is under the rebuild rules in the guide. Part of making it easy for people to try different builds at low level.

Alright, in that case I made the proper adjustments and sold off all that cold weather stuff and replaced my heavy wooden shield with a heavy darkwood shield. I hope that's ok Granta.

Works for me.

Good to know, thanks for the help.

Hope no one minds Ironshank's being a bit of a battlefield boss. I'm playing him as if he's pretty well experienced in combat, especially considering his family background and of course his class. And last but not least he really enjoys yelling at people... and of course swearing.

All good - its part and parcel of the roleplay.

People tend to swear and curse a lot in engagements - I find it odd when people have these calm and in-depth side conversations and planning when face to face half the time.
It's actually the part that rustles my jimmies - taking 10 minutes to rationalise out and converse with your friends over a six second action.

"You complainin about my history lessons, youngster?"

Actually, I'm pretty sure you're not.

Agreed, it's all good fun, keep it up. And happy new year from across the pond, enjoy the fireworks and have a good one.

Yeah its already the afternoon of the 1st here :p

Afternoon!? Damn you're early. Are you an Aussie or a Kiwi Shifty? :D

No issues here. It is all very entertaining. I am fairly new to pbp, and I am taking notes. This beats straight dice rolls and damage.

Happy New Year y'all.

'Straya mate :)

One of my favorite GMs allowed 20 seconds to declare your action (then more time to roll and resolve). It was a lot of fun, but only worked with a table of all experienced players.

That would be so hard in a face to face game Granta. But at least it would keep combat moving. Combat can move so slowly in a real time game, especially when people don't think ahead what they plan to do.
