GM Endless Forms' PFS 03-18 The Gods Market Gamble (Inactive)

Game Master Mike Tuholski

Giving everyone a bit of time to settle before we start. In the meantime go to your character's profile and put the following information in the "classes/levels" section so that it shows up beneath your name when you post:

HP | AC | T | FF | CMD | Fort | Ref | Will | Init | Perc | Sense Motive

Thanks everyone!

Morvius checking in. His one major purchase after the last mission is going to be a mw 14 STR composite longbow; since he picked up Precise Shot as his ranger combat style feat, his archery effectiveness has just taken a major jump.

You might want to consider just getting a mwk composite longbow instead of spending the extra 200 GP for a +2 Str. When you get it magically enhanced you can then spend 1000 GP to put "Adaptive" on it so that the strength bonus adjusts to whatever your strength is. If you buy it a longbow with +2 Str and you get hit with Str damage, you'll take a penalty; alternatively, if your Str goes up some day, you won't get the benefit through your bow. Just a thought for the long-term, although a +2 Str might be better for now.

I don't really know what level I could reasonably expect to get the bow enhanced that way--if it's two or three more adventures to get to that point, losing the +2 damage per hit is tolerable; if it's more like ten or twelve scenarios, it becomes a bit harder to justify. Especially since Morvius is built around ranged combat.

Putting a +1 magical enhancement would cost 2000 GP and then the Adaptive enchantment would cost 1000 GP. So it would be a while before you had enough gold for that.

I'll stick with the 14 STR for now.

Hey there, just checking in. PFS is very new to me. I assume that since Franton has no scenarios under his belt I make him at level one as he currently is and not level two?

Yep. You start at level and basically gain 1 XP for each scenario you complete. You level up every 3 XP (so after completing three scenarios).

Excellent, I assumed correctly! Looking forwards to it.

Senken checking in.

How is his bar on the top? It's the standard one I usually make for games, but if you'd prefer closer to what you have I can modify it (though it looks really similar).

"Amme Wobblecog reporting for Duty!" announces the smaller than usual gnome as she enters the room, a large pathfinder society flag mounted on her longspear.

Here's the gang:

Morvius: half-elf archery ranger 2
Franton: human rogue 1
Terrill: half-elf melee inquisitor 2
Senken: human wizard 1
Floggentop Whizbottle III: gnome bard 1
Amme Wobblecog: gnome bard 1

This'll be interesting. Our only melee type - me - is also our only healing type (though I just noticed Morvius has a wand of CLW, so that will help, and I imagine he can hit things from up close if the need arises). And our gnome bard duo should be able to keep the buffs coming, and we'll have lots of damage pouring in from range. Sounds like fun!

I'll have Terrill's crunch updated soon - it's mostly done, but I may want to buy some stuff and I expect I'll get his last chronicle sheet on Wednesday.

Ok got him moved over to a pfs tag..

@Senken: that looks good. As long as all the info is there, the format doesn't have to be exact.

Thanks everyone! I'll have the gameplay thread opened up shortly.

Gameplay thread is open! Have fun!

Color Spray.

Sometimes it ends the fight quickly.

Sometimes the dice turn against you and it hurts. It hurts a lot.

Would have been great if it worked - but as you say, sometimes it doesn't. Looks like the closer guy will go down pronto, and I agree with Senken, it would be good to take the other one alive. Inquisitors like asking questions...

Fine by me... I am just here to help you all...

In training all day all this week except Friday, and I couldn't get to the boards last night. I'll try to get a post up over lunch today.

Just to give you guys fair warning: I'll be heading to Chicago this Friday to run in the Rock n Roll half-marathon, so I likely won't be able to post all weekend. For those of you in my other PbP games, I'll announce that later this week but Morvius just got me thinking about it.

Obviously I failed to get a post up over lunch; people were actually counting on me to work through lunch, and since I was the chokepoint for a couple of major projects I pretty much had to.

Hey everyone! I should have time to update tomorrow afternoon/night but then I will be in Chicago for the weekend running a half-marathon and likely won't be able to update again until Monday at the earliest.

Thanks for your patience!

Ok, I'm back, everyone! Things should resume as normal and hopefully I can pick up the pace this week to make up for it! Thanks for being patient!

Welcome back, hope the race went well!

Not gonna lie, this being my first experience with the chase rules, they look awesome! Senken's just not too good with this first challenge.

A question though, was this something premade in the adventure or determined randomly, like with the chase deck? I was curious how it ends up like this.

The chase is pre-written in the scenario but it says that you can use the chase deck if you have it (I don't). I love chases though, they are a lot of fun. It's a nice break from the routine.

I think I am in the wrong place, I probably should have addressed it here, but I just put the question on the main board. I also posted alt. actions based on whether or not I am right or wrong. Let me know where I am, and all that. If necessary, I will move backwards to the bandit to trip him? Can I do that on a success?

Hey folks, I am going to be out camping tomorrow evening and all day Saturday. So I can get posts in tomorrow and Sunday, but Saturday I will be incommunicado.

Have fun. Hope it's warmer than the SF Bay Area where I am - cold and foggy this weekend.

Holy crap, I checked the weather and it's warmer here. I'm in Northern Canada. o.o

We lost all power due to storm. Posting from phone is a pain. Hope for power tomorrow.

Wanted to let everyone know that on Monday I start a 2-week road trip with the family. I'll be able to post off and on, I expect, but will slow down somewhat.

I'm at a wedding today, and currently only have phone access.

This may be a stupid question, but are we waiting for anything in particular before going ahead?

Nope, sorry. I was busy this past weekend helping the fiancee move and I forgot to respond to this one yesterday and Monday. I'll update this afternoon and we'll move on to the warehouse.

Hey folks! GenCon is next week. I think we should be able to finish before Wednesday if people keep up with their posting. I'll try to be better about checking in this weekend. If we aren't done before Wednesday I am going to have to disappear from Wednesday-Sunday to GM at GenCon, so let's try to push through and finish this up in the next few days!

Please post your PFS number and make a Day Job roll if you have one so I can get the chronicle sheets ready to go as soon as we finish. Thanks!

No day job.

I too will be attending the convention so if we don't finish I will also be gone.

And I will be disappearing down the rabbit hole pretty soon, as I will have on and off (mostly off) cell signal for the next week or so. Will post when I can, but feel free to bot Terrill as needed.

Day Job Perform: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Well, I did my part to speed things along :-).

Nice shot!

everyone else

There you are! Make sure to print those out and keep track of your XP, Fame, Prestige, and gold! This session has been reported.

Hope everyone had fun! Thanks for playing!

Thanks for running! It was fun, and not just because I came close to one-shotting the BBEG at the end ;-).
