GM Lari's Hall of the Flesh Eaters (Core) (Inactive)

Game Master Dhenn

Welcome aboard everyone. If you could check in here, that'd be great. As soon as we get six (which I should be able to wrangle soon), we'll be able to get going.

Once we begin the scenario, your opportunities to buy things will be limited. However, you have the opportunity to make purchases in Katapesh and Absalom before then.

Did anyone level up as a result of the last scenario? I believe we currently have:
Doubtful: Level 4
Dunkel: Level 3
Imrana: Level 2
Jair: Level 2
and Luke, with a level 2 character or a level 4 pregen.

Luke, if you wanted to play your actual level 2 character, we'd just need to make sure we get a 4 or 5 to balance out if we stay high with 4 player adjustment.

Imrana just hit 3.

Doubtful's still level 4, no change there.

If it helps to make the party more survivable, I am more than happy to continue to play Amiri :-)

Jair's here :)

Dunkel's 4 as of the completion of the last game.

Checked the folder, still awaiting his chronicle (maybe it's not shared yet?).

Looks like I uploaded it to the wrong folder. Fixed now. Luke, with the others at higher level, you're welcome to play either Amiri or a character of your own.

Imrana is all leveled-up and has made her purchases.

Jair has made her purchases and is ready :)

Dunkel's leveled up.

@Imrana: False life and spider climb were added to his spellbook

He'll scribe the following from you again this scenario: chill touch, magic missile, blindness/deafness, see invisibility

2x10gp=20gp
2x40gp=80gp
-
Total 100gp

@Dunkel

Added to spellbook! Thanks :)

Gameplay thread is open.

Did we find an extra body to join in?

So far just have a level 1 interested, but I think that would be a poor decision. I've put a post up on flaxseed, and I'll add a post to the recruitment forum if nothing crops up within the next day. If you know anyone potentially interested, send them my way.

Ya, I hope Doubtful doesn't end up a main source of melee damage =)
That'd be a bit anemic!

As an aside, in Core, what can one do for a natural armor bonus for a monk? Seems like the neck slot gets relegated to the amulet of mighty fists.

Heh. Very well then. Looks like I'll play Amiri again, to save us from that ;-)

Unfortunately, in CORE, there really isn't another source of Natural Armor apart from the Amulet (unless you have a friendly Druid in the party) :-/

This week-end I co-organise a PFS convention in Paris. I will not be able to play. Please feel free to bot Jair as a heal bot, trying to stay away from Ghoul and Festrog.

Bon chance!

Merci :)

Hmm... and now Paris is all over the news... for the wrong reasons.

Yep :(
And our convention is canceled (for good reasons unfortunately).

Happy Thanksgiving to all those celebrating such things!

There have been a few rough spots here and there, but you guys have done pretty well for having a number of low level players and not always being the most well-equipped for the task.

We're nearing the endgame here, so it's time for everyone's favorite part of PFS, paperwork! Please roll day jobs, where applicable, and let me know if the following information is correct. If you're on the slow track, let me know as well. I already have most of your information (PFS# and Faction) from last time, so this is easier than usual.

Amiri
Is this going to the same character (-36, Numair) as last time?
In Tier
No day job

Doubtful
In Tier
Day Job:

Dunkel
In Tier

Imrana
Out of Tier

Boon Rolls (1 or 20 wins)
GM: 1d20 ⇒ 17
Amiri: 1d20 ⇒ 8
Doubtful: 1d20 ⇒ 18
Dunkel: 1d20 ⇒ 13
Imrana: 1d20 ⇒ 10
Jair: 1d20 ⇒ 10

Nobody's a winner :(

Hmmm... I'm using my day job as part of the scenario... does that mean I'm making a profit at this? =)

Day Job: Profession (miner): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

PM sent.

What is next on the menu? ;-)

Craft (bookbinding): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

All of the other info is correct! Thanks again for a fun run :D

Definitely, thanks for the run. Appreciate the chance for some diggin'!

Dunkel Diggerson
Dwarf Fighter1/Wizard3 (so in subtier 4-5)
Faction: Exchange
PFS ID: 15208-18

Day Job (Stonemasonry): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

Yep thanks again for running, it was scary but fun ! My character was just useless for the most part of the game but it happens some times :)

Day Job (Librarian): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

In character, there's basically just roleplaying to do, which can take as much or as little time as you like.

Chronicles are HERE. As usual, let me know if there are any errors. This game has been reported to the PBP Gameday Coordinator (we're the 101st table to report). Paizo reporting will take a little longer.

Amiri has expressed interest in continuing. Would anyone else be interested, with this or another character? Six players really would be ideal, so in any case there will be a bit of recruitment.

It occurs to me that the low tier of a 3-7 might actually be a better fit than the high of 1-5 with our present setup, though I'm open to either. If anyone has requests, let me know. Otherwise, I can throw a couple options up. After this dungeon crawl, something more social/investigation oriented might be a good change of pace.

Jair's only level 2 though... unless she gained a level on this one.

Looks like this one bumps her up to 5 XP, so never mind the 3-7s. If nobody got bumped up to level 5, there's also a couple 2-4 modules (Feast of Ravenmoor and Masks of the Living God) as alternatives to a 1-5.

I have one GM chronicle I could add to Jair to put her level 3 :)

I'm interested for all scenario in Absalom and hitting level 3 Jair has now some tricks against undead :)

I would be absolutely in favor of playing Trouble At Tamran core. :)

Ooo! Feast of Ravenmoor sounds delectable :-)

I would like Trouble in Tamran. I wouldnt mind Feast of Ravenmoor, either.

So far, it looks like we have:

Not fussy.
Though the module sounds interesting, if a longer time comitment.

Well it sounds like there's a fair amount of interest in both Trouble in Tamran and Feast of Ravenmoor. I'm about to leave to run a low tier non core table of Flesh Eaters. I'll let you know how they do. If anyone wants to tip the scales one way or the other while I'm there that'd be great.

Tamran's one I wanted to get in on Dunkel before he outlevels it, there's something on the chronicle I have his eye on. :)

I have other core PCs if we do Feast though, so am flexible.

There's something Imrana has her eyes on in Tamran as well. The same thing, I believe ;)

I am in a non-core Feast of Ravenmoor PbP right now, so idk how I would feel about being in two PbPs of the same module at the same time.

Come on, tiebreaker votes! :P

Well, since Imrana and Dunkel both expressed an interest in the Tamran one last time we were making a decision, and it got vetoed... only seems fair we let them have it this time!

I'll go that way then.

Though hope we can find another body for a full group.

Trouble in Tamran it is, then!

If any of you have played #6-98 Serpent's Rise, could you please PM me with the name of the boon you received on that chronicle, as well as whether that credit was in normal or core mode? Also, if your character has any particular backstory ties to either Molthune, Nirmathas, or the Sczarni, please let me know as well.

I'll open up a new thread in a little bit, but in the interests of avoiding having to repeat that in the future, I'm open to suggestions for a more exciting name than the likes of "GM Lari's Core group" for a thread to host multiple games in a row.

Please note, for the purposes of CORE, you must have completed 'Serpents Rise' with a CORE character to gain the 'scenario upgrade' from the various sequels...

I havent played Serpents Rise in CORE, but I know I would try to play the same character I played in normal campaign, who is not the one Trouble in Tamran relates to.

So my question is this...

If there is indeed a benefit to having played Serpent's Rise.

Does it matter if you do it before or after this?

Seems a shame to lose an opportunity if you've not and the order matters.

You could ask Dunkel to run it. I know he can, and he's quite a fan of the scenario iirc ;)

Yeah, the Core bit was clarified for me after I posted. Locally, there had been some confusion over whether the specials were available for Core at all. I haven't had the chance to play it yet, but I'd love to.

You must play the special first, but even if you have played Serpent's Rise, the relevant connections only come up if you have the right boon on your Serpent's Rise chronicle. Several other scenarios have/will have similar potential connections. You don't have to play the special and the connected scenario with the same character, though. That said, you don't miss much for not having the chronicle.

We do have our new player! Dungeon Master S will be bringing a level 5 rouge. Thread should be up tonight, tomorrow at the latest.

Wee!

Welcome to Trouble in Tamran!
