GM Otha's Evergreen Trilogy I (Inactive)

Game Master Otha

You could do that Cerryl but be aware of two things...the Minotaur might make sure she's dead if no one comes towards him...and if she is alive, time is not on her side...

Know that and reason I was hoping for visual confirmation but to be honest unless Rykaar is closer than he is on the map then no one will be able to get there before the Minotaur can perform a coup de grace on Janira anyways.

Was also curious why Janira didn't perform a 5 step back to get out of range of the Minotaur before casting the tanglefoot bag but then again guess you cant plan on panic

She was trying to move towards us, a 5 foot step would have prevented her from continuing to move on her turn. My guess.

What I figure also but AoO was the main thing she needed to avoid and a 5 step would have put her out of range and if the tanglefoot had rooted then she would be able to move the next turn.

Either way the Minotaur would still have gotten a full attack off on her, since it has reach. I think her going down to an AoO and then us getting him to waste his move is best case scenario, considering

Cerryl, look at it this way, she could've either did what she did and take possibly a single blow from an axe...or she could've made a 5' move and taken two axe blows and a gore later this round...this, by far, was her best shot at surviving...no way she survives three attacks...plus, though I have leeway, this is her prescribed movement in the scenario...but I happened to agree with it considering the circumstances...

Website issues yesterday made it hard to follow all this. I have not moved Rykaar but wrote in Gameplay move 20ft. If nobody moved him that is ok. In round 2 will double move towards Janira.

No worries Rykaar, it was very frustrating yesterday...I moved you 20' earlier...

I understand and agree for the most part was just going based on the map showing her 10 feet away from the Minotaur the 5 step would put her out of range of the AoO and while she wouldn't survive the Minotaur being able to move and attack her if the reflex save failed then she may have had a chance to still be upright for the 3rd round.

/shrug we don't get to play the NPCs. She gambled and lost, now we have to fix things.

No worries Cerryl, I don't mind being second guessed...but if she makes the 5' move, the Minotaur will make a 5' move this round and use all three attacks on her, there'd be no Reflex save...she may be dead now with only one hit...if she'd taken 2 or 3, no chance at all...

@Rykaar: Your moves would put you just across the stream so I took you thru the narrowest part and rolled an Acrobatics check for you...if that was not your intent, let me know...I took into account the halved movement for the Minotaur due to the tanglefoot bag (he can't move and attack you this turn). And hey, I got your Initiative rolls right this time!

@Todd: I moved you...

Thanks for bringing up speed and acrobatics Lovissa, I've been counting my acrobatics 4 points too high this whole game.

Guess two questions

1st what would it take for me to cross the stream since that is the only way for option 2 to possibly take place

2nd better for me to continue doing a little guaranteed damage (2-5) or move over the stream and cast Grease at the axe to attempt to cause a disarm if failed Reflex throws

And to be fair I am leaning more towards the 2nd option unless Rykaar and Rei both do damage to the minotaur

I will be traveling tonight (10 hour flight - groan) and then at work meetings most of next week. Will try and post daily (evenings) but may not be able to every day.

Cerryl: Both options are equally viable...since it was wounded when y'all came upon the battle, your bolts and Lovissa's massive blade strike have done serious damage...you can ajudge that another strike like Lovissa's he'll be close to done...hence your bolt could be the difference...failing that, Grease is a good option as it could take away his axe, which would be great but if he makes the save, not so much...

Rykaar: No worries...we're close to the end of this scenario and we'll probably take a couple days break before starting the next one, so I can prep the files, get your Chronicles to y'all, and give y'all time to make any purchases...

Going to leave it up to you since I will not be on again till later today but Lyasa is airbourne and would assume in range to attack and would probably want that to occur if Rei is able to do damage even though unsure how much damage she would do and will be a force missile if it goes another round cause I have no healing and no 1st level spells left

If UlStadi gets a good lick in, a strike by Lyasa might do the trick...if not, don't see this going another round unless y'all roll very poorly...however, the Minotaur can still do a lot of damage this round...

That swing hit, my AC was down to 15 due to the - 2 penalty to AC for charging.

You're right Grey, my bad, good catch...I edited my post...you and Lovissa can take your normal turn...

OK, looking to start on Wednesday, if that's OK with everyone. You can post new purchases here, day job rolls for this scenario (if they apply), along with any questions...working on your Chronicles now and should have 'em posted sometime this evening...

Going to use the lvl 1 rebuild options to:

• Reduce Cha to 7, increase Con to 15
• Refund breastplate and shortsword

Going to purchase:

• Masterwork banded mail
• Masterwork shortsword
• wayfinder (1 PP)

Hey y'all, I've got your Confirmation Chronicles up on the link below:

Confirmation Chronicles

Rykaar & Cerryl: Your -1 Welcome boon is there as well...

If y'all have any problems downloading your Chronicles or if there's any errors in them, gimme a holler and I'll correct it...

I've also reported this session so it should show up on your character's session tab...

@UlSkadi: The -1 is a welcome boon for those new to PFS playing with their first PFS character (hence the -1)...I noticed UlSkadi is your -2 character and that you haven't played your -1...I'll ask the PBP Venture-Captains over on Flaxseed if there's a way I can apply that to you...

Sorry, just got word that the Welcome/-1 boon has to go to a -1 character...

Got the maps just 'bout ready, so we should be a go for a Wednesday start. This scenario is more of an old fashioned dungeon crawl...it'll probably be a little bit shorter than The Confirmation...

So can I swap out regular equipment for MW if I have enough money like Grey just did?

If so will replace great axe for MW and pay the difference.

Absolutely...also while you're first level, you can sell anything back for full price...after first level, you sell back at half price...

And whenever you're upgrading your weapon, in most cases you can just list the upgrade and pay the difference...case in point, I've got a 5th level Ranger with a +1 Magic Longbow...just recently, I upgraded the bow to add the Adaptive ability to it...all I had to do was pay the cost of adding the ability to my existing bow as opposed to selling it and buying a new one...

For magic weapons that's fine and dandy, but a masterwork item has to be made masterwork, so there's no upcharge on that.

I'll have Todd's equipment stuff tomorrow night!

You're right Todd...although a masterwork transformation spell can upgrade a weapon, not sure if the cost of the spell though is the same as the crafting though. I included my example just to show that additions don't necessarily require folk to sell for half price and then buy a fully new magical weapon at higher levels...like you can upgrade a +1 weapon to +2 by just paying the difference...

Lovissa is trading her longsword for a masterwork longsword, and buying two potions of cure light wounds.

Ok swapped out greataxe for mw greataxe.
Also swapped out scale male for breast plate.

Leaves Rykaar with 17gp

I have updated character sheet

Was everyone able to download their Chronicles? Just wanted to make sure before we start up the next scenario...

Will post the intro either late tonight or first think in the morning...

Yep, good on this one.

Yup, thanks.

Just put up the introductory post for the next scenario in the Gameplay thread...welcome to Master of the Fallen Fortress...

Todd is giving back his rapier and studded leather armor, grabbing masterwork versions of them. Also going to pick up a Wand of Cure Light Wounds for 2 prestige. Going to sit on the rest of his money for now

purchased rod of cure light wounds..... as long as she can use it right? or will she need use magic device for it? if so then she doesn't.

If it's not on your spell list, then you'll need to use Use Magic Device to wield it. Most buy one and pass it off to the closest healer, though, which is what Todd's is for.

Todd's right on the mark...when you get injured, as long as someone in your party is capable of casting the spell, they can use it on you...in your current party I think that would be Grey and Rykaar. Other classes can attempt to use it if they have the Use Magic Device skill...

Did not buy a wand of cure light wounds for that reason but have 2 potions of it if needed along with acid, alkali flask, alchemist's fire, holy water, and gel shard to use

awesome so didn't buy it.

What is the etiquette for moving minis. If I'm the first one to post, is it ok to move minis in our marching order?

Grey is not trying to run ahead, I'm just trying to post quickly.

I have no issue with moving all the party in marching order to your position, to include retconning Rykaar's action as long as no one objects...it's logical y'all would have moved as such and it wouldn't have changed the spider's attack since it targets the first one through...

This scenario will be a bit different as far as encounters go...in the The Confirmation, your encounters were usually one per map so you were basically just moving during combat. In this one, there could be several per map so movement is more problematic...

Anyone feel free to move Grey while exploring!

Todd would like to travel with the group as well, so having him move in the middle of the group would be fine if I'm not here to direct him. This module's a bit of a slog (played and ran it before), so if everyone posts "Going here, doin that" when the party's already at the next door, I feel it might get a bit redundant

Them's my two coppers, though.

Yeah, it's more of a dungeon crawl and they can be like that in PBP. There are a few doors in this one, so whenever there's a decision to be made on which direction/door, I'll be using the rule of two in this one; the first two people to agree will win out. Should keep things moving along more quickly...

Also as doors go, the first person approaching the door can make a Perception check and we'll roll with that...if all six rolled for each door, things would drag...however, when exploring rooms and such, feel free to make Perception and other such checks as you deem necessary...

@Grey: Please move my mini if you post first. I have no problem in always assuming we use agreed marching order. I also like that Grey posts fast and keeps action moving. So I fully support.

Agreed. You're welcome to move Lovissa along with you, Grey, she's always third in marching order.

I have no issues with Cerryl being moved along also especially because I know that he wouldn't want to be left to his own devices until the tower has been cleared out.
