GM Harker's PFS Season 4 Campaign

Game Master Justin L. Warren

I have a problem GM Harker. I have already played "The Night March" and I am going to travel to europe in the middle of december until 12 of january. Since I am going to be backpacking I expect to have no internet access whatsoever.

Any chance we could play something else for game day and Night March later? That way I would only miss one game, the one I already played.

I have played very little and none of those ring a bell, but I can play the game day thing too.

As a male over 40...well..look squirrel.

Immediately after I vouched for this cousin he said something along the lines of:

"oh my.... I just had the most awesome idea ever....
I SHOULD CREATE A BRO-BARIAN!
A barbarian who is the perfect Brah and is all rocking-on-music and LOTS OF BEER"

*rolls eyes*

Maturity probably wasn't the best word for what I meant, but generally if you can vouch for someone, I'm happy to invite them.

With Moadis/Merck's request, we could instead do The Cyphermage Dilemma for gameday, botting Moadis as necessary. Has anyone played that? If we go that route, then we'd do Night March after that.

If we do play Cyphermage first, I'll probably run a second table for gameday unrelated to this campaign if you all are interested.

Also, to be clear, Quiella's cousins would be invited to the other table assuming no room for cyphermage.

I'm happy with whatever.

I have played The Cyphermage Dilemma with another PFS character already.

Actually, if everyone can give me an updated list of the Season 4 scenarios they've played that would be helpful. While participating in the campaign, it would be best if you refrained from playing any Season 4.

This one

I don't necessarily have any say over what we play in our live gamedays but I will keep that in mind.

I was going to suggest you run a second table during Cyphermage as well as during Night March, but I see you are already planning on doing that. I am fine with playing at the other table while you guys go through Cyphermage, then coming back for Night March. Hopefully my cousin can play at the same table as myself in both cases.

I have not played any more scenarios since starting this group.

I believe this is all of the scenarios I have played:

0-17 Perils of the Pirate Pact

#35 Voice in the Void (season 1, I think)

2-01 Before the Dawn-Part I: The Bloodcove Disguise
2-02 Before the Dawn-Part II: Rescue at Azlant Ridge

4-01 Rise of the Goblin Guild
4-15 The Cyphermage Dilemma

5-08 The Confirmation
5-21 The Merchant's Wake

Yeah, whenever someone has played a Season 4 scenario, it's always my intention to run their campaign character in a concurrent, separate scenario so everyone stays on track with experience. So, when I run Cyphermage Dilemma, I'll also run a separate scenario for Quiella at the same time. Your cousins are welcome at any of those separate tables.

Right now I'm thinking of returning to the original plan of running Halkale, Ophelia, Mel, and Quiella (along with Quiella's cousin) in Night March of Kalkamedes for Gameday 3. Then, at the same time, run Valik and Moadis in another scenario also counting as part of Gameday 3. I've PM'ed Moadis about it so we can work out the details to his satisfaction. I'll let the group know what's going on when we're done talking.

Ok, I think Moadis and I got things ironed out.

Here is the schedule after Severing Ties:

'Gameday 3' Table 1 Night March of Kalkamedes
Players: Halkale, Ophelia, Mel, Quiella, at least one of Quiella's cousins, 6th player (another Q cousin or recruit)

'Gameday 3' Table 2 Scenario TBD
Players: Moadis, Valik, 4 recruited players

---
After the Gameday scenarios, Moadis will be gone for the month so we'll run something non-Season 4 for the 5 other players.

---
When Moadis returns, I'll run Cyphermage Dilemma for everyone but Quiella. I'll run Quiella in a separate scenario.

I just wanted to say that I see that you are really going the distance to try to keep this group together and accommodate everybody GM Harker and I appreciate it.
Thanks.

Sounds good. Thanks for doing this, GM Harker.

I second what Moadis' player said. You are herding us cats with extra work, well done. Hopefully we'll start seeing stars appear on your name soon.

Thank you for your kind words, but it's really not that much trouble. I offered to run the campaign all the way up to level 12 so that's what I'm going to try to do as long as you all are into it.

Ok, so, unless there are any objections, I'm going to run the Valik/Moadis second Gameday 3 table through The Goblinwood Dead. I'll open up a recruitment thread soon to fill it out with players, although if any of the rest of you want to play an alternate character at that table let me know.

Quiella, do you know if you're going to have more than one cousin participating in Night March of Kalkamedes? Right now the cousin who PM'ed me has a spot saved for their alchemist, but I need to know if I need to recruit to fill in the last spot.

Other than the scenarios we've done here, here's the list of what I've played.

#1 Silent Tide
#6 Black Waters
Risen From the Sands
#4 The Frozen Fingers of Midnight
#3-11 The Quest for Perfection Part II - On Hostile Waters
#2-13 Murder on the Throaty Mermaid
#5-04 The Stolen Heir
#5-01 The Glass River Rescue
#43 The Pallid Plague (RIP Erasmus Ravensdale)
#5 Mists of Mwangi
#6-01 Trial by Machine
#6-05 Slave Ships of Absalom

I'm considering throwing a character in for the second table, if it's allowed. I have a sandman bard I've been wanting to play around with... Hmm. I'll sleep on it, if I have time. Still need to actually build him, so it might be best if I sit it out.

If you would like a spot at the other Gameday table, Ophelia, it's all yours. You have until November 1st to build him.

Ok, I created the Gameday 3 threads, if you want to dot.

Night March of Kalkamedes: (Mel, Ophelia, Halkale, Quiella, Quiella's Cousin) This one is full.

The Goblinblood Dead: (Moadis and Valik) Still need 2-4 players.

I'm seriously considering that second game you're running, in spite of everything I've said about being too busy. Not sure if I'd run a new character or an existing one.

I'm running it Tier 1-2, although if you want to bring a level 3 along that's not a problem.

If you get to the point you need another, I might just bring in Growler..he is freshly made.

Anyone know of a list of all the scenarios for each season? I should probably start keeping track.

I am out of the office all day in a training. I will not be able to post until after i get home tonight.

@Moadis, I missed your question about Lay on Hands, because I think you edited it after I read it the first time. Anyway, using it twice is not a problem. Also, yes it's 2d6 at 4th level.

Anybody interested in playing Thornkeep part 3 for PFS here on the forums? I am part of a group who is looking for one more player. Character needs to be at least lvl 3.

We are coming to an end to the scenario, so now would be a good time to make Day Job checks.

Also, if you haven't checked in to dot the Gameplay thread for the Gameday 3 scenario you are playing, I would appreciate it if you could do so now.

Check in for Goblinwood Dead here. (Moadis, Valik)

Check in for Night March of Kalkamedes here. (Halkale, Melufiuos, Ophelia, Quiella)

day job: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Day Job: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Profession (Farmer): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

I'll try to get the chronicle sheets out tonight. Unfortunately, the secondary success condition for this scenario was to perform three acts of sabotage, and the group only performed one, so there is only one prestige point this time. As I mentioned when we started, this is a tough one for paladins to really get into.

If you haven't dotted the Gameday 3 threads for the next scenario, please do so now. I'm going to leave this thread up so we can return to it when Gameday 3 is over.

Killing the basilisk didn't count as sabotage? That was one hell of an effective guard. :)

You know what... I just realized one of the things they probably wanted. Put a fire-trap chest in the gas-leak room. Then shoot it with an arrow or something? Damm, oh well.

Sending the basilisk against the statue or the cultists was one of the potential forms for sabotage. Also, in the room with the gas leak, it was possible to make the leak worse so that it flooded the entire temple.

Chronicle Sheets have been sent out, let me know if there's any issues.

Interrupting an important ritual and undoing it, destroying their monsters/allies, flooding the temple, attacking its members, stealing from their resourses and opening an entry to the middle of the street. Are those not acts of sabotage?

The acts of sabotage had to specifically make the temple uninhabitable. My apologies for not making that clear in my post scenario explanation. The clue leading you to this is during the V-C mission briefing Heidmarch says to sabotage the safe house as completely as possible.

np, i understood that. I was just not imaginative enough.

Before I forget, the tiefling madam's offer for a night of 'entertainment' in lieu of her debt would have been a bad deal. The services would have cost her very little and at the end of the night you would have had to make a Fort save vs. disease.

Furthermore, and you'd find this out later in character, the dagger she gave you is not magical at all, it had a Magic Aura spell cast on it and is covered in contact poison. Attached to the dagger is a note that reads 'Do not ever again cross the Savored Sting.'

HaHa, cool!

Letting all of my games know this. I recently got a promotion to supervisor. Until there is an office of sorts for me, I am stuck on the floor with my direct reports. Today, it was announced one of the guys on the other team would slide back under me. He's a bit of a whiny baby, so I am going to have to stay off the internet during the day, even when I am on break or lunch. That means I'll be posting at night and weekends only. If that means I need to bow out, I understand.

Night March of Kalkamedes should be done sometime this week, so it's time to consider the next scenario. Has anyone played 03-18 The God's Market Gamble?

Since Moadis probably will not be back before we start the next one, T'kk'tck can join us for this one if he wishes. I'll PM him about it once we're at the end of Night March. If he's not interested, I'll find another person to fill in.

I've done the god's market gamble.

What about 1-45 Delirium's Tangle?

I am good for 1-45

None of the stuff mentioned I've done.

Never done that one

-Posted with Wayfinder

They all sound fine to me. Level 2! Woot woot!

Since Delirium's Tangle appears to work for everyone, that'll be our next scenario once Night March wraps up.

After that will be The Cyphermage Dilemma, with Quiella playing in a different concurrent scenario.

To give everyone plenty of time to level up their characters, we'll start #1-45 Delirium's Tangle on Tuesday 1-20-15.
