GM Endless Forms' PFS 01-49 Among the Dead (Inactive)

Game Master Mike Tuholski

A 1-7 PFS scenario played at the 3-4 subtier. Map!

Hello all!

Endless, this is my replacement for Frunobulax. He's a brand-new character and I need to finish his stats, but I thought I'd check in here anyway.


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

Excellent!

I was so sorry to see Fruno go. But I did warn everyone before that scenario started that it is one of the most notorious scenarios ever written. The 1-2 tier is especially rough because one-shot kills are almost guaranteed. I played with seven players at the 3-4 tier and we still had two deaths though.

No worries! In my limited "tabletop" RPG experience, I think it's a rite of passage that I needed to have - losing a character. It's my first one.

Ignatius is definitely different from Fruno. I haven't put it in yet, but he basically became an inquisitor after he failed to make it as a paladin.


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

Yeah, but that was the second character of yours that I killed. And in cold blood too. In consolation, we had to run away from Hinojai tonight. Freaking wizard. And we were playing high-tier (I had a level 5). It was brutal.

Ouch! You played a 5th level wizard in a high-tier Hinojai?

And Desmond was only mostly dead, he came back.

Oh, you killed my dog too, or maybe that was Tektite.


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

5th level magus in Hinojai; it was the wizard that almost killed two of us but someone Breath of Life-d me.

I don't think I killed Sahrek. That was Burglar in You Have What You Hold.


Signboy77's PFS Scenario-rama

That's right. I was too lazy to check who ran that. I just assumed it was you, with your blood-lust and all. ;-)


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

MWOO OO AH AH AH!

Don't even get me started how many times I killed my Reign of Winter group. Never a TPK but I killed everyone (including animal companions) at least once during the AP. I think I killed the ranger twice and would have killed the magus about five times if not for Breath of Life. And the magus only joined in book 3 (out of 6). But they all made it to the end of the adventure, leaving off at level 17 with one mythic tier granted by Baba Yaga after everything was over.


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

I'm surprised there's only two so far for this one. I'll see if I can round up some more.

A cloaked figure in an ornate smoked-glass mask enters the discussion, a weird glass water pipe attached to his back. George of Daggermark, reporting for service. He then proceeds to load up his hookah with golden pesh and blow smoke rings in the corner.

After Hinojai, you should have the opportunity for vengeance!


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

Vengeance will be mine!

But not really. I expect all the NPCs to be quickly and permanently paralyzed with George around. Good to see you dipping your toes into the world of PbP so I can keep kicking your characters around!

@Sign and Rycky: Just so you know, George/Ace (Ron) is one of the Bloomington players behind this now-infamous story. Expect the unexpected when Ron is at your table.

Ok, one more player and we'll get going!

I was also the GM for the Haunting of Hinojai... >.>


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

Yeah, Signboy/Ignatius was one of the ones who died when I ran Haunting. That's a rough one.

He's a member of the Flesh Puppets! This is like gaming with royalty, or at least.

Better bring your A-Game, Iggy!

LOL, I remember reading that. I have a group that we are running a homebrewed 4E game in the Nentir Vale. We just finished organizing a "benefit concert", though we are not the actual musicians. I think we've gone off the rails of what our GM had intended months ago.

Google "The Misadventures of Max's Minions" on iTunes or Facebook and you'll find the podcasts we've recorded.


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

I put up a public recruitment to get us one more player, specifying that they had to be at least level 2 to keep us in the 3-4 subtier, since I think that would be better for everyone.


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

Well that didn't take long. Neb will be joining us once he gets his character updated.

The Gameplay thread is open so go ahead and start moving along there. Also, I have only been looking at the Discussion thread but completely forgot that Jake had checked in on the Gameplay but not in Discussion so we actually have five players now, which is fine because the APL is still 3. But now Neb gets to join us!

Yikes, sorry you'll be dragging my 0XP butt along with you. I'll try not to be too much of a liability.

Never done PbP. Totally just copied your character setup Ignatius. I think I made it look pretty.

GM, I forgot to mention that Iggy's (Sub)Domain power allows him to grant an ally within 30 to re-roll initiative and take the higher roll. I'd like to grant that to Nivik - I find having a wizard going first to be most beneficial.

So, from now on, if you could just roll Nivik's initiative twice.

Nivik, I hope that's okay with you.

I don't see why I'd complain. :)

Among the Living Spoilers:

I just went back to carefully browse to see if this noble was the same noble ranting and raving in AtL. He is.

More surprising, I just realized my GM ran the final combat for our tier 3-4 group (with Kraang being level 2) at 6-7. He also added in the Ogre zombie in too.

I'm sure it was by accident. But I figured something was off when we were fighting a Grey Render & Ogre zombies. Thank goodness for power bump of PF.

I played 'Among the Living' - but it was the single worst PFS experience I have ever had. I remember very little about the scenario, just the feeling of frustration with a GM that was more invested in trading Magic Cards IN THE MIDDLE OF COMBAT than what was going on at our table.

Sorry to vent, but it really was bad. It took us almost 6 hours to wrap it up.

Oh man Kraang is cold. I hope he doesn't warm up at all. He's fun.

I am leaving for Japan next Friday for 8 weeks, so my posting may be a bit sparse for a few days. That being said, I could be extremely bored. I have no idea what my internet coverage will look like. Just a heads up.

Thank you, Iggy.

He's defiantly a PbP PC. I played him for the first time live in the AtL game as mentioned above. It was at a store's weekly game day with people I've never played with. Being out of tier and a druid, everybody just thought they can give me their CLW wands and I sit back and heal them.

After letting the dwarves and the Cheliaxians unleash their hippy dippy jokes, it was good to smile after I started 1-shoting baddies.

But hard to be that strong, silent, douche-bag as portrayed on the boards. =v)

Wow you guys have been busy! I have to run to work this morning but I will update as soon as I get off tonight.

Yeah, left me in the dust too. And yeah, we'll be using SDOP in this game, EF, even if Quiven isn't here.

SDOP?

BTW, I think only 2 wand charges needed to be used on the noble. I believe Iggy was just over compensating.
