GM Lorenzo's PFS-Sanctioned Module: Daughters of Fury (Inactive)

Game Master Lawrence Smith 2

Yeah, I've got to stop dropping my weapons, but I really wanted to disrupt that spell. Anywho, I agree with Hanlin, Inky is better than anything else you can summon and the aid another action is great. Maybe Braggett could try and flank pink with Nina and both our steeds can aid our attacks? That's +4 to hit which is nothing to be sniffed at. Also, I could try to retrieve my flail with a quick brief dismount... It should be around the square NW of Nina.

I appreciate the hint, Lorenzo, but I am unsure what more Erlathan can do. Can't quite fly or attempt to disarm Shayle of her bow, and I'm out of my most useful spells...

Can you summon anything else that can fly? Might keep Shayle busy another round or two while we try to get rid of these babaus!

One air elemental, coming up!

That Nina, man, she's a clever one...
;-)

GM, you aren't waiting for me, are you? The summon will take this entire round.

Sorry, guys. Just struggling to keep up the last couple of days, and I've been giving priority to the GameDay VII events.
I'll update this tonight.

No worries, GM - I kinda figured the Gameday stuff (especially the special) has been keeping you a little preoccupied. So, no big rush, we'll be here :)

Yup no rush on my end.

Nina/Hanlin,

The RETCON has Inky using only one AoO to apply the bonus to Hanlin's AC for the attack by the pink barbazu.

With a 15 Dex and Combat Reflexes, Inky has three AoOs available.

She could have used another to apply the bonus for the attack from Shayle, but I thought she'd want to save two AoOs to defend her mistress.

If you want to burn two AoOs, let me know. It would negate the first attack by Shayle.

Yeah, Inky would prioritize protecting Nina but I'm also afraid it'd be too metagamey to retcon both hits knowing what I know. But now that it's apparent that Hanlin is drawing a lot of their ire she can start protecting him as she can.

Out and about though, so proper posting later this afternoon/evening.

Thanks, Hanlin, for catching my mistake re Nina's hp. I'll make the correction in my next post in Gameplay.

Sorry, GM, for not being able to roll that CL check in time. I've been tied up all day. If I use the staff again, I'll be sure to roll it ahead of time. I'll continue my updates tomorrow.

Next time be sure to set up a safe word ahead of time. All day is a long time to be 'tied up'.

Friends, I'd like to revisit our discussion of keeping the party together.

Are you interested in keeping the party together and starting another scenario in a few days? I'm happy to make it a part of Gameday VII, Part Deux.

I'd like to invite my friend, and local VL, Pat to join us. Pat's familiar to Nina/GM Ladile as Jan in her totally freakin' awesome, words-can't-describe Faithless & Forgotten arc. He's also at my tier 7-8 'table' of #8-99C: Solstice Scar. Those scenarios have been his first two experiences in PbP, but he's really enjoying the experience.

We just need to settle quickly on a scenario. I'll check with Pat to see if he's available. If you like what I'd offered earlier or have other preferences, just let me know. But do it soon, please.

Larry

After going back to reread the suggestions that were proposed last time we talked about continuing, I'll say that either scenario would work for me though Deepmarket Deception sounds slightly more interesting of the two.

Can't think of any other specific scenarios that I'd want to play with Nina off the top of my head but if anything comes to mind within the next day or two then I'll be sure to post it here :)

Assuming we survive our current predicament of course, Hanlin is available and interested in either of those listed missions. Count him in.

I'll need to decline my posting has declined greatly and I don't feel I can provide the attention to making certain this game does not get stalled.

Thanks for putting up with my spotty posting.

1) I'll be posting my actions this afternoon/evening, 2) I'm in for continuing with another game!

I would have loved to, but things are still crazy here and ,'m having trouble keeping up with my current games. Unfortunately, that means I won't be starting any new games for a while.

GM Lorenzo, what is your ruling on Dweomer's Essence with my quarterstaff of entwined serpents?

In this situation, I'm inclined to interpret the RAW broadly. If you're willing to expend an item valued at 500gp for a +5 bonus on one SR check, one time, for two magic missiles, why not?

Hey GM, how tall/high is the stone altar and the braziers?

Good question, one that I hope leads to some creative mechanics--and positive results. Let's say the altar is four feet high and the iron braziers are 5 feet high.

Hmm, okay...thanks!

Don't forget the bonuses to AC vs Ranged Attacks, when you go prone. Stacks with Cover bonuses.

Bless weapon needs to be applied to each piece of ammunition. Might be something a prone, hiding-behind-cover, low-hp PC or a PC whose own weapons have limited or no effect could do to increase the party's chances of success.

I appreciate that this seems like a frustrating impasse, but we're almost there, folks. Don't give up!

Still here! I know Braggett mentioned life being pretty busy for him a few posts up so hopefully he'll get a breather soon :)

I'll keep checking in, several times a day. But I'd prefer to let him act before Shayle does, and at this stage, I don't really want to bot anyone.

Oh no, I wasn't meaning to suggest that you should! My post was basically just a 'checking in' sort of post; I'm not in any hurry so I'm good to wait until Lord B can check in and post for himself.

I'm so sorry for disappearing again, things are getting busier and busier here. I'll have a post very soon.

Bishop came within 2hp of killing Shayle himself.

Kind of fitting to let Vegazi deal the death arrow. Hope no one feels slighted.

Nope, that's perfect.

I also have no problem with this~

I'll wrap things up properly tomorrow in the Gameplay thread, bringing the party back to Arwyll Stead for the denouement. Feel free to continue a little RP up on the Roost, if the spirit moves you.

Here's a link to the module's Chronicle sheets.

You've already received the first two, and congratulations, now you've earned the final two, one for this chapter, and one for having completed the entire module with the same PC.

If you want to use the slow advancement track on either or both, please let me know.

If you have a Day Job, please remind me of the result or roll it, if you haven't already done so.

I need everyone to let me know how each of you wants to receive the fourth Chronicle.

When you earn this Chronicle [*fourth*] sheet, you may choose whether or not to receive XP, Prestige Point, and gold rewards; you may instead choose to gain no XP and gold, but you instead earn 2 Prestige Points and still qualify for all of the boons and items on this sheet. If you elect to earn the full rewards, you gain 3 XP, 6 Prestige Points, and 8,712 gp (4,356 gp for characters use the slow track method of advancement).

I'll prep the Chronicles shortly after I hear back from you, but tomorrow not tonight.

Thought she was never going to die hehehe

full reward for fourth chronicle (regular progression).

day job (information broker): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

Thanks for the game GM Lorenzo

Full on XP and gold for Hanlin for the bonus chronicle. No day job. Also should note completed the following faction goal:

Defeat an outsider that has the evil subtype or an undead creature whose CR is at least equal to your character level.

Yes that fight was the longest I've done in PBP, by a long shot I think. Flying and good SR and DR... wicked.

PS, those chronicle are sick. That angelfall bow is amazing. Would make an archer character with darkvision pretty lethal. (Well, MORE lethal I guess.)

I'm going to enjoy being able to ask Vegazi to rain arrows down on my enemies three times.

Wow, those chronicles *are* sick!

I'll definitely take full XP & gold for Nina on the bonus chronicle. Since I'm assuming it's one Day Job for the entire module, Nina got an 8 some time back for a whole extra gold - yeah! :D

And all of a sudden, Nina rockets up to tie with my cleric Nella for highest level PFS character (6th) with Corona (5th) not too terribly far behind.

Ya Hanlin and Luurg are now my number twos behind Mr Peppers.

Now to try to decide how to spend almost 16k gold. Too bad I'm 4 fame short of that nice channeling piece. My wisdom could use a boost, or perhaps that +2str/+2dex belt on the chronicle...

For a typical module, you earn one Chronicle and have one opportunity to use your PC's downtime.

Downtime is calculated per Chronicle. You will have received four for this extended module. If you have a Day Job, you should have a roll on each of the first three Chronicles.

If you elect to take XP on the fourth, you've earned a fourth opportunity for downtime, and can make another Day Job roll.

I can't find any rules that contradict that assessment.

Okay, in that case I'll need to make two more checks for the 3rd and 4th chronicles:

Day Job #3 (Craft: Carpentry): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Day Job #4 (Craft: Carpentry): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Nina adds some gnomish flair to some of the homes and business of Arwyll Stead - with permission, of course!

Hrm, so does that mean we can attempt two faction goals? If so...

Vegazi is a ranger correct? And they qualify as a divine spell caster?

Goal: Rescue a named NPC who is a divine spellcaster with a good-aligned deity or a named outsider with the good subtype. Alternatively, collaborate with the NPC to overcome an obstacle directly related to the PCs’ success conditions, such as defeating a foe; summoned outsiders do not contribute to this goal, but called ones do if not coerced into service.

Actually, I've got the same question(s) as Hanlin re: Faction Goals. I really need to start collecting those for my characters so now's a good a time to start as any!

Hanlin/Nina, yes, Vegazi's a ranger/divine caster.

Full rewards for Sir Tentacles here, please! And thanks for the great game, GM!

Craft (Caligraphy): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19
Craft (Caligraphy): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25

For bookkeeping purposes I plan to 'cash in' these two boons for more prestige...

Impressive Find: A representative from the Pathfinder Society—an organization of archaeologists and explorers—has heard of your discoveries in the River Kingdoms and invites you to join the Society as a field agent. Once you earn 12 or more Fame, your superiors award you one additional Prestige Point (but not Fame) in recognition of your excellence. You cannot have more Prestige Points than Fame, and if you would exceed this maximum, the bonus Prestige Point must be spent immediately or lost. (Silverhex Chronicles)

Also:

Gift from Arwyll Manor: You returned to Arwyll Stead with Wate’s body and turned his gear over to his family’s manor rather than taking it for yourself. Wate’s best friend Terrin sends you a gift to thank you for respecting Wate’s memory. When you would purchase an item for 1 or 2 PP, you may instead cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet to purchase the item at no cost. (Wand of Prot Evil)

Muchos Gracias!

Thank you so much for the great game GM! Sorry I sort of disappeared a little at the end.

I'd like to cash in the fourth chronicle for the full rewards please. That'll mean Braggett finally has enough Fame to spend 1PP to purchase a noble title! Lord Braggett is now an official Lord. :)

^Woohoo!

Also, thanks again GM and the rest of you for such a fun and memorable adventure! I'm happy to have been a part of it :)

I finally got off my butt and reported the session.

Now to start (belatedly) on the Chronicles...
