GM Tektite's PFS #05-01 The Glass River Rescue (Inactive)

Game Master Hawkwen Agricola

I have. You want me to run it or something?

Well, the guy who wrote it is also the VC of Portland, OR and I picked him up from the airport at GenCon. I thought about calling in the favor and seeing if he would run it for us. Thought it might be kinda cool. Anyway, was just curious who had played. Of course, I should have known you played! ;)

I have not played that one.

I'm not surprised you didn't know; I took a gross amount of time updating my played/ran sheet.

Edit: Though if you want, go ahead; I have no qualms sitting out of things. T'wasnt a bad scenario for Weiman. Did the Chel faction mission for them, stabbed a few demons, though it had no good opportunity for jokes being as serious as it was.

I will admit that I have been slacking in checking your scenarios played, other than checking see if you had played Sea Witch and Ghennet Manor, so I didn't scroll down that far. It was just a thought, he may not want to and of course you guys may not want to, I had just noticed that he partook in a little PbP.

And of course, after this, I would be willing to run 4EX.

Have we decided upon the third of the Friendship trilogy? I was thinking of putting Ez in Ghennet Manor.

I do find it horribly amusing you're playing Ghennet Manor Gauntlet after running this. Have you run it before?

Additionally, Amira will be perpetually available until we play part 3, since she can't get more xp or will be out-of-tier for Friendship pt 3.

No, I haven't ran it and did not realize there was a connection until preping this, hence my interest in playing. I have concerns of tying up Ez, because the GM was a player in my Black Waters and wasn't the most expeditious poster. In lieu of Fangwood and a faltering Blakros Matrimony, I'm beginning to think my original stance of only playing under certain GMs is well founded.

In all honesty, there's not a really heavy tie between the two on the player's side beyond a matching name. Most of it is only stuff the GM will get unless they try to portray the secret story bits (though going from Ghett to this as a 5th level would be amusing in a "Can actually punch 'that guy' for that thing" way. It's something I try to do when I run anything, but have no clue how much story I actually get through. If I do get it through and it blends into the actual story, then I'd count it as a success.

As for the selective GM process, that's a bit I've always subscribed to with a caveat; "Play rules-clear characters that you want available often only under certain GM's." Characters like Xathalial, Corb, and Turg are ones I'm not exactly itching to play IRL or play often, so leaving them in a pbp that is either explicitly going to go into a con hiatus or is under a DM I've never run with is A-OK, because of the increased detachment.

Selectiveness is one of the reasons I didn't jump right back into the PFS-Online GM chair after my convention hiatus; I wanted to see if anyone actually is sad to see my speed/posting style be gone for any amount of time or would say anything about it. If anyone wanted anything run by myself, then success! Otherwise, c'est la vie, less work for me. Plus, the old group seemed to all get really, really busy at the exact same time.

Your right. I guess I'm feeling a little down on GMs because I got rejected for Devil We Know PbP by one the forums great GMs. ;)

What cad would do such a thing?

On another note, I am much more enthused about Day of the Demon than the 3rd Friendship mod. Both of the ones we've played have just been really boring.

There's a great DM running Devil We Know? Where?!

D'ah... You flatter me.

The thing with Day of the Demon is that I want to specifically play a character that's already Tektite-locked to play in that, since my Hair Witch is both not-insane still and out-of-tier, I think. Plus it's a Demon-oriested one, not a Aklo-speaking-thing-related one. The next best character I have for a Blakros scenario is a "Manchild Society Nerd/Fanboy."

I'm up for either or. I agree that the friendship ones have been kind of lackluster, but I like playing high level with the established group as well.

I like the established group too. And for the record, when you're not injured, Burglar, your posting rate/style is good.

I'll start to prep Day of the Demon this weekend and try to put Ernest's PbP on the fast track.

I mean, don't put that game into hyperspace; your current Enemy's Enemy a really RP-y group, and I don't want to force a change in the dynamic. I just don't have a whole lot I want to play in the 3-7 tier that won't horribly overlap.

Characters legal in a 3-7

(Str+rage)*1.5 + PA

mathchk9k: 5 + 2 = 7
mc9k: 10 + 3 = 13

Dang numbers and being all hard to math at work. Did 1 damage matter? I think I overmathed by 1.

Nah, it didn't matter.

We are essentially finished. Go ahead and roll Day Jobs. I will get a summary post up here in a bit and also a little bit of an explanation.

So, an explanation. The reason I was asking you guys what you wanted to do with Holy A is because of the secondary success condition. You needed to meet two of three criteria.

A)Fool the Sisters Grymble. (which you did handily)

B)Preventing Holy Ahendile from escaping to report to her superiors. (which you did inadvertently, because I rolled her stabilization checks and she failed and bled out.)

C)Recovering the box of hair and blood from area F5 (which was where the keys were and Wayne's and Brutus' Perception checks weren't high enough, though I ended up rolling passive checks for everyone else, just in case you saved Holy A, and Ran would have found it.)

None of you are Qadira or Osirion, so two possible "boons" aren't available to you so it doesn't really matter, but the scenario was trying to get the party to side with either Passad or Rutella and I have to report which one. (I'm assuming Passad?) The silly thing about that is Valsin's letter says to try to establish one or more trading relations, so you guys did exactly what my party did when I played- gave no definitive direction and tried to "win over" both.

Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed it and I'll get Day of the Demon cued up, though it will be at least a week or so before I can finish the scenario Ernest is in.

We did do the first one no question. But I wasn't sure what to do with Ahendile since Razmiran's are the law around here.

Thanks for running.

If you could tell me your -character numbers as well. I think I have everyone's PFS #

20056-11

22357-14. Thanks for running!

The game has been reported and everyone should have their chronicles. Let me know if there are any problems.

Here is the link for the next one, though as stated, we won't be getting started for a bit.

Day of the Demon

Chronicle received and awaiting my lazy butt to actually set up my phone tether to upload it.
