GM Endless Forms' PFS All For Immortality Series (1-3) (Inactive)

Game Master Mike Tuholski

Hello everyone!

Before we get too far, please post the following for my convenience:

PFS number
Day Job roll
Initiative modifier
Perception modifier

Thanks! I won't harp on you guys about my expectations because I'm sure you all know them by now and anyways I think we've got a really good group here so I'm sure we won't have any problems!

We will probably start either tomorrow night or some time on Tuesday, depending on how busy I am tomorrow.

Thanks!

What levels do we have? Trying to figure out which tier we're playing.
My preference would be to bring a 15 and play high, but I can potentially bring a 12 and play low instead.

Hi there. If we start at 15, will we level ourselves out of the series?

My level 14 is an archivist bard. I need perhaps a week to extract him from a game - he will be 15 by the end of that game, unless I go half-speed. Not strong in physical combat, but some magic and does well on knowledge skills. He can also do quite well as a rogue, which we would likely not need if Rob is on the Job.

I have a level 12 dwarven monk (core), puncher/grappler.

I have a level 12 Cleric of Abadar, with a focus on channeling. Also doubles as a better then average diplomat, no melee capability. I need to level her, but that is straightforward.

It's 3 parts, each 1 xp. My 15 is at 42xp and so could play all 3 parts.

My 15 is a Ranger 3, Fighter 3, Rogue 1, Shadowdancer 8 - Melee skirmisher w/ rogue skills and shadow shenanigans.

My 12 is a Melee badass Battle Oracle 12. I'm not particularly fond of playing in her pbps due to an abundance of immediate actions that are a pain to deal with in pbp.

In theory I also have a 12 druid and a 14 Barbarian/Ranger/Living Monolith neither of which I particularly want to play.

I have only characters level 12... may be 14 if I apply the chronicles from Wardens of the Reborn Forge to it (in this case I will asks DMS to provide my character with it)

My characters are a Cleric of Asmodeus with a focus on summoning and fire, a melee bard (Arcane Duelist) and a Ninja

Sadly, I have an abundance of level 12s (several of whom I can still play - usually, I have them reported as 'dead' once they hit 12), but only one higher than that - and he is a 17 :-/

My choices for this arc are:

(Original Recipe) Summoner 12
Bard(Archaeologist) 6/Dragon Disciple 6
Sorceror(Crossblooded) 12

Out of those, I would prefer to play the Sorceror - The Summoner is a melee beat-stick which isn't a lot of fun to play, and the Bard, quite frankly, wasn't optimised for high-level play (he was the skill-based, light-infantry running mate of a well-built archer throughout most of his career).

I'm in a case where I've only got 1 available character, this one.

Strictly speaking I can report Wardens of the Reborn Forge parts I-II right now. I'm happy to do so if you'd like Ilmakis.

Meanwhile I'm headed back to school today, so I'll post in a few hours, but for now:

Bishop Shepard, Knight-Captain and Seeker (Ranger 14)
Faction: Liberty's Edge
PFS number: 1824-2
Day Job: Hunting Lodge: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (15) + 20 = 35
Initiative: +8 (+10 in Mountains/Hills/Jungle, +14 in Urban)
Perception: +25 (+31 vs. Humans, +27 v. Constructs/Undead
Perception (Timber): +7

Ilmakis, something to consider. If you apply the chronicles to the character before we complete Reborn Forge, then you have to forfeit the 4th bonus chronicle. Sorry, it's very specifically written in there.

In this case, I prefer to play at level 12. I don't mind playing up if needed.

DM S: 14
Ilmakis: 12
Luke_Parry: 12
Tangaroa: TBD
Pirate Rob: 15

If Tangaroa goes 15 it's x̄(12, 12, 14, 15, 15)= 13.6

If Tangaroa goes 12 it's x̄(12, 12, 14, 15, 12)= 13.0

Either way, I don't think high tier is an option...

If it's 13.6 don't we play 14-15 with the 4 players adjustment ?

GMEF fired an invite to me as well. I just have a 12 available to play this at the moment, so would push it to the lower subtier.

I could also sit it out. If things work out, I never have any issues playing up.

There is no in between tiers for this. 12-13 and 14-15

Pirate Rob here, 12 it is, I'll type up my lvl 12 battle oracle later today and we'll make the immediates work.

15001-8
Day Job roll Caravan Diplomacy: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (5) + 19 = 24
Init +4 (Roll 3x, always act in surprise)
Perception -2

My bad. you're right! If it came to it, my vote is to include anyone. An invite from the GM is all anyone needs anyway. :-)

I'm happy to play with everyone regardless.

PFS #: 15208-1
Day Job roll: Dwarven Beer Caravan: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (19) + 23 = 42
Initiative: +6
Perception: +19 (or more with spells)

I may be making some purchases on this character as he retired I had put that off for a bit!

DM S should know this is my only other dwarf... Dunkel's a bit of Thorgan's spiritual successor - you're just getting exposed to all my dwarven goodness via PbP these days, lest I be typecast as always playing dwarves.

Ha! Since the days of 1st edition I've played mostly elves, humans, and half elves. Then I make a trio of dwarves and BAM they always play with the same players.

Sorry guys, we will get started tomorrow! It's getting late for me and it took longer than I expected to update my other games and get the other new scenario going.

No worries, took me the extra day at least to play geek Sudoku and get my character typed up.

I've got the misfortune reroll and surprising charge, I'll try to be on top of mentioning ahead of time when I think they may be relevant in the coming round.

I will play my level 15 bard, then. He rounds out the party well and, frankly, would be an ideal Venture Captain (I hope this that is a reward at the end of the arc!).

PFS number 7514-4
Day Job roll Take 10 for 34.
Initiative modifier +3
Perception modifier +26, but I usually keep heroism up most of the day which puts me at +28.

EF, would you start a sheet for tracking high level effects/buffs (or even debuffs)?

I usually just add a text box on the map for buffs, etc.

Bard is always welcome. Bishop hates talking anyway...

-Posted with Wayfinder

Nikolai is happy to talk - his three skills are Bluff, Diplomacy, and Perception ;-)

Tamerius is also good at talking (not much in bluff but good enough in Diplomacy).
His area of expertise is the Demonic knowledge.

He also have an Imp able to do a lot of things :)

I usually just add a text box on the map for buffs, etc.

Yes, this is probably the best/easiest way to track buffs. That way everyone should see it when they check the map.

I've got meetings and class this morning but I'll try to get this going in the afternoon as soon as I can spare a few minutes.

Anyway I need to upgrade Tameris to level 12 :)

Now I kind of want to play one of my level 12s :/

Still the bard is the best fit for rounding out the party.

Let's play the character you want Tangaora !

PFS number 22523-14
Day Job roll Knowledge Nobility: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 9 + 2 = 18
Initiative modifier +2
Perception modifier +10

Initiative modifier +6
Perception modifier +21

Agreed, always play what makes you happiest. That's ESPECIALLY true at high levels in my experience.

No worries EF. I've got plenty of time today and Friday since I'm proctoring AP examines instead of teaching.

I want to play the character that will make the party succeed. That's what makes me happy.

Besides, I like the gnome.

I will have to half-track the first game, since I'll be at 42.5

I played the special but cant for the life of me remember who the mastermind was.

On the off chance it matters, this character did play the immortal conundrum, so has interfaced with Thuvians before. The point of contact was a woman though, not the Emir.

I admit I'm curious as to if the fights in this adventure are "random" (a la the confirmation) or preset.

Hey guys, just giving you a heads up now, but I'm going to be completely MIA from Thursday night to Sunday morning. Normally I find time to squeeze in a post or two, but I'm spending the weekend as one member of a 12 person relay team running about 200 miles from Boston to Provincetown. We do it because we're crazy, but my fiancee's mother past away from cancer, so we run to support the ACA.

I'll be back to posting ASAP, but I figured I'd give you the heads up now.

On a business trip 6/6 to 6/10. I should be able to post, but bot me if needed.

I'll be gone next week so the game is going to have to pause during that time anyways.

Thanks for the heads up. As a note I'll be gone for a couple of days 8th-10th

I was just gone for a few myself, but understand RL delays, so no worries here.

Hey guys, unexpectedly AFK until 1900 EST. (Field trip duties got switched around.)

-Posted with Wayfinder

I was going to bot Chun Hei or move on, but I knew this announcement was coming up anyways:

This is just a reminder that I will be taking the preliminary exam for my PhD program from Monday-Friday this week and will not be back until next Saturday or Sunday. Thank you for being patient while my games take a short break!

Good luck!

@EF As we say in France : "Merde !"

My apologies, I definitely remember updating, not sure what happened to my post.

Hey everyone. I just got word that our network at school is down tomorrow (my grades are due Friday, good thing I didn't procrastinate!) I'm also closing on a house and moving this weekend.

I'll try my best to post what I can, when I can. I'll be back to my normal speed Monday, even moreso since my students will be taking finals.

PM sent.

I am considering buying boots of speed since we're not always running under haste/blessing of fervor.

Any thoughts?

Other than that no purchases and Chun Hei has not leveled.

Thorgan's a fan of winged boots at this stage in the game. :)

Bishop just hit level 15. I think I'm saving the money for now. He's leveled up. Working on Timber now.

Two points, whilst I mull over purchases:

1) Based on the fact that I did not use a lot of slots last game (since I didn't need to, what with the party's damage output), I am happy to be on 'Heroism' detail, covering the entire party (including the devil and the wolf). I am also happy to cast Endure Elements on everyone, as well.

2) After the second part, I have some AP GM credit that I can apply to Nikolai, which will take him to level 15 for the 3rd part.

I havent had a chance to update my sheet, but Davon is half speed and should not be leveling.

I may give Tamerius chronicles from Reborn Forge which will push him around level 14.
What do you think if we play in high tier ?
