GM Rinaldo's Eyes of the Ten 2018 (Inactive)

Game Master The Great Rinaldo!

Sorry, I forgot to mention that this weekend was Emerald City Comicon on top of being St Patrick's day, so I didn't check in at all. I will get back onto things later today.

"Emerald City"? Where goes by that name???

Seattle is known as the Emerald City. :-)

Sorry I know things are a bit messy with Myrdon summoning three critters. This is something I don't do in face-to-face games as that slows things down tremendously but PBP gives me time to work through each critter's actions. However, it is still quite a bit of tracking for the GM, so if it is troublesome, I'm fine to stick to just summoning one creature each time. :)

Lucky number refresher; sorry, Kirrah, you only get a single reroll.

I may regret it, but I'm hoping that 30 hits. If not, then I'll know to reroll my 11 next time.

I think you get a +2 luck bonus to your 30 if you choose not to re-roll.

That should help!

Ah, it is not optional. I thought it was optional. In that case, Rinaldo, please make that 11 (30 to hit) a 32 to hit in her last series of spear thrusts.

Uh...I think it IS optional.

Could be interpreted either way. If she could have saved it she would have.

No worries, there was enough damage at the end to finish them off. :)

Per our discussion at the start of this chapter, I will be giving you chronicles, but other than the items that appear on the sheets themselves, you will not have significant time for retraining or shopping for exotic items.

I will get your chronicles done tonight or tomorrow, and we will pick up part 3 after that.

Would that include the breath of life scroll? Just wondering if that would be considered an 'exotic' item. No problem if it is, This party is awesome and has that angle covered.

Do we level with these chronicles or the next?

Good point ... yes, you level with this chronicle (part 1 was 2xp, this is 1xp). Go ahead and get started on that. I'll plan to get them written up tomorrow evening.

Breath of Life scroll is not too out-there -- you can easily find a high level cleric in Galt to sell you one.

Sounds good. You might want to just say anything less than 1500 gp can be picked up - or something like that - so we don't pester you with questions about what we can buy.

Forgoing Down Time to finalize a report to the Pathfinder Society (if permitted)

wisdom DC 15: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Finalize a report? Is that a boon thing or just some fun RP?

Neither; it's a Faction Objective.

Speaking of which...did our loot from this adventure include at least one gem worth at least 1,600 gp?

I'd be a tad surprised if we found a Sky Key piece.

Marta levels up in Inquisitor.
+8 HP
+1 BAB

+2 7th

Purchases: I wouldn't mind being able to learn a few more spells - especially if I could find another Witch to learn them from, which would be cheaper than learning from scrolls!

New spell learned (4th): I'm thinking greater invisibility, shared wrath, forced repentance, or burst of glory. Thoughts anyone?

Forced repentence looks like a good way to keep someone busy for a while (and potentially funny), shared wrath looks potentially quite useful, and both of them sound like 'Marta'!

Did we do our day job checks for this scenario? If not, here goes.

perform(act), mw tools: 1d20 + 20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 20 + 2 = 32
reroll, GM-Star: 1d20 + 20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 20 + 2 + 2 = 35

Aegis

Also, realised I forgot to add a trick from earlier leveling up, so adding Nonlethal attack as a trick. :)

Hmm, you're learning chain lightning this time around?

Alright, in that case, I shall pick scouring winds instead (I just looked that up; it's a cooler spell than I realized)!

Craft (Sculptor), take 10: 10 + 30 = 40

Cute Story: Vladek's first adventure ever was "Murder On The Throaty Mermaid" (I don't normally think like this, but anyone else think that ship-name sounds a little ribald?), where his Faction Mission (back when those were a thing) was to lift the ship's figurehead; while it turned out I and the other Osirion player didn't need to do this, we had this whole plan where I would use Craft (Sculptor) to make a replica so no one would notice the real one was missing.

Luisila: Yes on Fly potions.

Vladek: No on the gem or sky key piece ;-)

Marta: It's more a matter of "how unusual" is it, more than price.

All: Ended up just enjoying a weekend of amazing weather and totally forgetting about chronicles. Depending on how busy today is at work, I might sneak them in. Otherwise it could be Tuesday evening (USA west coast time), as tonight is Pathfinder night face-to-face.

I scrolled back and didn't see where I had gotten day job checks when we started. Luisila, Myrdon, and Vladek have posted theirs; Marta and Fendahl, do you have day job or downtime checks to make?

Vladek, just noticed your other question: Yes, feel free to learn new spells the "easy" way as long as it doesn't require more than a day.

Day job Trapper : 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

”Hrrm. I just cannot seem to get my mind into this. “

Fendahl, you can have my re-roll for this scenario if you like ;)

Caravan vanity day job: 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (16) + 29 = 45

@Luisila, Thanks for the offer but this is fitting for the storyline

I'll try get the chronicles finished up this evening then give you an opportunity to buy anything from them you want before starting the next section. Has everyone completed leveling up?

Chronicles!

Let me know if you see any issues. Post to say you are ready for Part 3 to begin!

Ready, but I do want to buy a couple of potions of fly.

Ready!

No additional purchases, apart from the potion of fly you authorized above, GM Rinaldo.

I don't suppose we may presently buy things from previous Chronicles? I have a couple of discount-wands I'd been waiting to pick up (and why on Golarion do they put stuff like that potion of cure serious wounds on Chronicle sheets??? It would be one thing if they were discounted or higher-CL, but...).

As for this Chronicle, I'm wondering (again) if I should pick up the Chime of Opening.

Because we're doing it differently this time around, am I to understand we still have the stuff we picked up this adventure (like the Hat of Disguise) without having to pay for it just yet? If so, I don't recall that +1 Human-Bane Dagger being mentioned, and might want to hold onto it....

Other than that, I just have the spells to learn, and that should do it - speaking of which, am I to assume Witches charge the same as Wizards in Society play for teaching spells (i.e. half the cost of scribing a spell in a spellbook)? Because that would be an INCREDIBLE savings.

Ready - no purchases.

If we can carry the stuff from the loot, Fendahl would carry the +1 Frost Spear.

Myrdon and Aegis are ready. No purchases.

I'd have to double check, but I believe the Human Bane dagger was on the assassin posing as Eddington Keel.

Yes, you may keep things found during part 2.

Yes, I will allow chronicle sheet purchases as that represents you calling in favors from the society and/or your faction for past work. You have a day in Woodsedge so could have gotten a message out and had those things brought to you.

I should be able to post the intro to part 3 later today.

So. Have anyone's Visions been fulfilled yet? I see one that rings a bell, another that looks clearly yet-to-come, and two I'm less sure about....

Not sure, but I don't think so.

And I agree with GM Rinaldo, the 'Keel-in-disguise' assassin had the human bane dagger, which he tried to stab Aegis II with!

I think I'll prepare two lesser restorations in Luisila's level 2 slots.

Is that enough?

Well, Marta does have a scroll with 5 of them on it, but if we are going to be suffering fatigue from the environment that makes sense.

Fendahl has a wand with 12 charges of lesser restore and scroll with two air bubbles.

He will prep 1 life bubble - which can affect all of us for a short time at least.

In a pinch he can wildshape into an elemental, which is not subject to poisons or needing to breath.

Myrdon has two scrolls of lesser restoration with 7 castings between them, as well as one scroll of life bubble. You think that's enough? The scroll of life bubble should be CL7, affecting 7 people. But I think there are 8 of us including companions.

So. Have anyone's Visions been fulfilled yet? I see one that rings a bell, another that looks clearly yet-to-come, and two I'm less sure about....

Ah, prophecy ... things that might have been are lost to what has come to pass. I will say that at least one vision failed to come to pass because of the choices the party has made. :-)

That does mean whoever's Vision has been either been fulfilled or failed is thereafter eligible to receive a NEW Vision!

The way I read it, you don't have any knowledge of whether the vision has failed, but if you attempt to provide a vision to someone, the new vision will fail if their previous one is still pending. So if you want to want to do a round of visions for everyone, I can then tell you which individuals receive new visions and which don't.
