GM Endless Forms' PFS 00-03 Murder on the Silken Caravan (Inactive)

Game Master Mike Tuholski

A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 1st to 5th level characters (Tiers: 1–2, 4–5).

Volunteers are needed to escort the body of a deceased venture-captain across the parched Qadiran desert to Katheer. The Silken Caravan offers passage, hauling exotic treasures across the perilous sea of sands. You'll brave bandits, spies, and unwelcome mourners hell-bent on paying respects to your dead companion. Worse still, the caravan's mistress, a satin-swathed Qadiran princess, has designs of her own on you and your cargo.

You can post this information here. I suggest selecting your character in the "post as" dropdown. Make sure you indicate who you are so I can keep characters straight with who the real person is.

This is Mike. I'm posting with this character so you can see how I input the above information so that it shows up when I post. If you go to your character's profile, you can type in the "HP# / AC# / T# / etc." in the box where it says "Classes/Levels". Then those stats will always show up when you post and make things a lot easier for me (and for yourself). Thanks.

This is MJ posting. Started things out. Hope others will join in soon.

Are you accepting new characters? Or are you already booked? I know a few people that would love to play myself included.

Sorry, this is a closed game with a few locals. If it goes well I might run more in the future and allow open recruitment.

Also, very nice MJ, exactly what I was looking for. Once we get started I won't expect you to check in more than once/day and will absolutely understand if you miss a day or two (I might disappear during Who's Yer Con). Feel free to post as much as you want though, if you feel like conversing with the other characters.

No worries, thanks for the reply. Have a good game folks.

Here's the Roll20 page we will be using for combat when we get to it.

Now that WYC is over I'd like to get started in the next couple of days. Get your character prepared (as I described above) and then introduce yourself in the gameplay thread.

Hey! This is Becca. Excited to get started!

Double check your HP, you should have more than that with a d8 HD, a 12 Con, and a favored class HP.

My health thanks you, good sir.

Aye, Moira's here, for sure. Needin' a wee bit o'time f'r h'r to be up to snuff, then she'll get her stats up right sure!

After last night's game, leveled to 2. Updated stats. My poor health took a downgrade for some extra skill points. Let's hope those 2 HP don't make a huge difference.

Actually, strike that. Scruffy's here.

I made it so that you guys can activate auras around your tokens on Roll20, in case you are using a light source (not so relevant for this scenario) or using some spell/effect that has a radius out from you. I'm slowly learning the tricks of Roll20 and the more I use it the more I love it.

Fun fact - if you roll dice in a post and, say, something in the roll makes you want to say something else, if you edit that post it won't re-roll your dice :)

Busily writing a paper today and tomorrow but I'll try to update when I have a minute. You guys can make Heal checks to heal overnight and roll some CLW to heal yourselves in the meantime. Assume you have two days and nights before you reach the next destination that I'll describe.

Finals are next week but I'll try to check back regularly. I'll try to keep things moving quickly so we can finish. I know some of you want to play these characters in real life (Whit is SL and needs to get up to level 3 to play the SL scenario before August).

So. . . I just discovered that they have Gaspar's damage calculated incorrectly. It says his base is Str 15, giving him 1d10 + 2 on his bastard sword and with Bull's Strength his Str is 19, giving him 1d10 + 4 damage with his bastard sword. But he also has Weapon Specialization (Bastard Sword), which should add +2 dmg to those, although it's not calculated in.

In other words, he should be doing 2 more damage, which would have putting Scruffy at 0 HP and Staggered, but I'm going with the "run as is" motto which is working in your favor in this instance. Besides, I'm killing you all easily enough without the extra 2 damage from Gaspar ;)
