GM NotEspi's "The Dalsine Affair" (Standard) (Inactive)

Game Master NotEspi

Welcome, welcome!

Something about me - I've been running live games for a few years now, but am still fairly new to PBP. If you find anything that can be improved, feel free to point it out. If you have questions for me specifically, feel free to ask.

Let's get to it then. I need the following from you.

Character Name:
Player Name (one that should appear on the sheet):
PFS-ID:
Faction:
Day Job Roll (if any):

Feel free to add notes or comments on your character you would like to add/point out. Afflictions, rare special abilities I should know about/read up on, etc.

Some extra stuff to keep games flowing:

In case of an extended period of absence, I would like your permission to bot the character, or delegate this to one of the other players in the thread. With the following in mind, would you agree to being botted? If so, please set up a bot me section in the character profile.

Additionally, please make sure to put relevant information (initiative, perception, saves, other common rolls, etc) about your character into a spoiler included in all your posts. This can be done with the Classes/Levels field in the character profile. If you have questions how, don't be afraid to ask.

Character Name: Cypher Starchild
Player: Matthais777
PFS ID: 176948-6
Faction: Sovereign Court

Day Job: preform dance: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

Cypher is primarily a talker and Debuff specialist (Aiming for eventual Enchanting courtesan) with an absolutely stupid diplomacy check for forcing through charms as well as just sweet talking their way out of everything they can get away with.

Cypher always has their hat of disguise on (Looking like a haircomb) and has a habit of shifting their appearance, and clothing, to any given situation, but primarily sticks to a very androgynous looking person that you can't quite peg as male or female... but hot somehow anyways.

Character Name: Eadric Brightcoat
Player Name (one that should appear on the sheet): Marty
PFS-ID: 210803-3
Faction: Grand Lodge
Day Job Roll (if any): Profession (Armourer): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Eadric is primarily a listener with moderate skills in climbing, swimming, and jumping. He's really just a melee fighter and combat manoeuvre guy, but he is able to throw his shield around when necessary.

Character Name: Soraya Daroczi
Player Name: Tim M (Blake's Tiger)
PFS ID: 230524-31
Faction: Silver Crusade
Day Job: Perform (Dance): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Note: Has Combat Reflexes and wields a reach weapon.
Note: Changeling

Yes, you may bot if absent >24 hours and action is required.

Character Name: Helme
Player Name (one that should appear on the sheet): CariMac
PFS-ID: 110249-14
Faction: The Exchange
Day Job Roll (if any): None

Shaman she now has evil eye hex which she will be using to reduce Attack first, AC next, and then any saves as requested.

Woops, I totally forgot to say that I'm fine with the whole botting thing if I'm absent for some reason. Although, I do plan on telling you about expected outages in advance. ;)

Sorry, folks. Lazy weekend. Lottery is done, invitations are sent. Waiting for our two new folks to pop up. I will make a first post later today and we can get the game going.

For the new folks (and you veterans as well), I forgot to add some conditions for botting, so here goes:

In case it is necessary to move the game forward a bit (though we are not pressed by time, just in case) - in case of botting, I (we) would not use limited daily abilites, spells, or consumables unless deemed necessary for making sure your character (or other characters) survives the encounter or scenario in question.

I (we) would not endanger assets important to the character, as deemed by some degree of common sense (familiar, etc).

I know it's very vague, but I firmly believe that you will trust me and/or the other players to not ravage your inventory in the process.

Character Name: Oma "Deadeye" Jorrer
Player Name (one that should appear on the sheet): Emmjay
PFS-ID: 224344-1
Faction: Scarab Sages
Day Job Roll (if any): Craft(Calligraphy): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

Nothing major about Oma that you need to know. Has Point Blank Shot, but NOT precise shot (yet), so the +8 init is needed so he can go first and not have to suffer the -4 to hit.

2 wands of CLW, and is happy to share. Can't use them himself, but is happy to hand them off to those that can.

My only request for Cypher during a botting is that they do no damage. I want to be able to get to max level while saying that they never did a single point of HP damage.

Now, grease, buff spells, ect, all fair game.

Though, I am considering a exception for a merciful casting of everand's black tentacles, if only for how hilariously well that would work with Cypher's character.

Character Name: Tenibri
Player Name (one that should appear on the sheet): Zin Z'arin (Rob Riemersma)
PFS-ID: 192785-2
Faction: Liberty's Edge
Day Job Roll (if any): TBD

Tenibri is a wayang, and has some unusual racial abilities due to that. All details are on his profile.

Botting is definitely acceptable. I prefer a GM bot. I will add/update a Bot Me spoiler in his profile accordingly.

Character Name: Herman Lacosta
Player Name (one that should appear on the sheet): Twistlok
PFS-ID: 217154-3
Faction: Silver Crustade
Day Job Roll (if any):
Stablemaster: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Feel free to bot as needed but generally I can post form work so there should not be that long of a stretch.

Also if you need more detail there is a link to a herolab sheet on his profile.

Hold up. Not to be rude, Herman, but - perhaps another game?

The two folks who won the lottery are already here. Perhaps I can do a run of this scenario at a later point and I'll keep a list of people who didn't get in in mind. Sounds fair?

Every read something first thing in the morning. I.... I clearly needed more coffee now that I re-read.

Don't worry about it. It happens to all of us. I'll PM you when I run this next time. I assume mid-to-end of January.

My dot didn't work and I had no idea the game had started. So here's a heads up just in case the same thing happened to anyone else. ;)

Okay that gameplay post made me laugh. Maybe I should PM people. I'll do that when timezones are out of the question. It's 11:45 here, so some of the yanks are probably still asleep.

Most of us are. I just got to work myself.....

Cypher's Baaaaaaaaaack!

Interesting. I saw a (1 new) notification yesterday. When I clicked it, there was nothing in gameplay. Now I look and there's a gaggle of posts with no notifications. Weird.

Spent time with family this evening. I'll post tomorrow am. I ran out of time tonight

No worries. Busy days at the office here, so I'm a tad slow. I plan on making a post later today, assuming I find a few spare minutes.

Right. I don't have the images exported from the PDF yet, so I can't make a map thingamajig just yet. To not keep you waiting, I opted for a RP approach before the scenario even starts.

To be fair, this scenario is kind of odd in the way it just straight up puts you in an interesting situation, so technically, we didn't even start yet. That will come later.

Of other matters - is anyone still experiencing the new posts not being shown in the campaigns tab? if so, let me know, and I will remove your character and PM you to dot in again. Hopefully that would fix it. Just give me a heads up.

Now that that is out of the way, some pre-game stuff:

Please check your information on the first slide HERE.

http://bit.ly/2jU2Bw9

If there is anything that is not correct, feel free to fix it. And please specify whether you are planning on going for GP or faction goal from the roll.

Once I add more slides into that presentation, it would become our maps and handouts document, so I will put it into the header of the thread and my GM account for your convenience. If you wish to use a custom token, please put it into the second slide.

As a side note, since this is a rather old scenario, it has faction mission handouts. I'll distribute those later, probably via PMs, since some people don't reveal those to the rest of the group (at least not in live games I ran).

Cheers!

Looks good for me. :)

My info looks good too! :)

Good!

Right. That's faction mission letters sent. Let me know if you did not receive yours. I'm fairly certain I did cover everyone, but between assigning old factions to the current ones, and one bad link, I might have missed someone.

Fascinating this is, we actually have a member of each faction on this mission. How awesome is that?

Wow, I didn't expect us all to have different factions! Should be interesting. :)

I sent you a PM before I read here. I received a link to Liberty's Edge rather than Silver Crusade. :)

Don't worry, the scenario is from a time before the Silver Crusade and Liberty's Edge (or the Andoran Faction) is to be treated as Silver Crusade for season two faction goals. ;)

Gotcha.

And now the Scarab Sages is going away. At least it makes sense for Helme to join the Elemental Faction.

Kinda sucks. I don't know where to go, now, honestly.

Sorry about the slow post rate on my end, folks. Holidays and end of the year stuff is happening.

Just popping in to say that I will be very unlikely to post from the 23rd to the 26th, but will probably return to normal from the 27th onward.

A lot of groups are slowing down/suspending play until after the holidays. Totally understandable.

I'ts 7:15 PM on Thursday 12/12 and I'm still in my office working. No posts for me tonight. Feel free to bot me as necessary.

Apologies for disappearing abruptly. Holiday season and the pleasant responsibilities it brought with have kept me away for a few days.

In any case, I might be slow for the rest of today (Tuesday noon here, in case of timezone confusion), but I will be back in full swing after that.

With that said, I hope you are all enjoying wonderful Holidays of whatever kind you might celebrate, and make the best of it.

Totally understand. The games I am running I told the guys to take off until after the new year to spend time with friends and family and not have to worry about online gaming.

I picked up a stomach bug over Christmas, so I'm going to be out for another day or two. Feel free to bot me while I'm snuggled up in bed. ;)

Being sick on Christmas is the worst. I've had that happen a few times.

I got through most of Christmas Day, so it wasn't all bad, plus it was the first Christmas in ages that I didn't put on a ton of weight. That'll make my New Year's resolution so much easier to reach. :)

Ah, this will be of THOSE fights, then.

Cool, cool.

Hehe, that's how I do most fights. It's also the reason I usually tend towards support characters rather than full martials... the less dice rolls needed, the better. :)

Apologies for not posting yesterday. Ran a live game and had no time for updates. I'll post in a few hours once I unpack my stuff. Came home at 5 AM and still need to tidy up a bit and unpack.

I'd like to suggest re-checking your faction missions before we continue. It might be the last time you see the Blossoms in this game.

Is Ahan among them then? Eadric did try to get everybody's name when he first entered the hideout and started greeting all the Blossoms.

I must have missed it. Was it before the end of the year? Because that would make a lot of sense. Yes, he is present.

@Others who would find this relevant: As for Khismia, they did manage to give her a burial near the vault.

Sorry, I forgot to say thanks! It's been quite hectic here. :)

Yeah, I think it was before the new year, but I might not have been as explicit as I could have been anyway. ;)

Right on. Everyone done? Just making sure before I move this onward.
