You could say they took the "heir" right out of their tires! #weimanjokes

For realsies, though, what's our level spread look like on the players side?

Feral mentioned playing brutus who I believe is 5. So I'll be playing Amdrazi here.

I keep reading the title and hoping it's about a stolen wig.

Dot while I figure out what to play.

Ha, I have nothing high-and-in-tier-that-isn't-my-Thornkeep-Only-Summoner since Ernest is now 6th, I think. Oops! Lemme see what I've got sitting around...

Going to bring the cleric this time.

Even if Burglar brought a level one, you are well within high tier.

Ffffffffff-butts. I have so many horrible concepts, but I want to play them ALL. I'll hammer out the pet tricks on my -3 and just pray for life and enjoy the out-of-tier gold. He has an ANCIENT Master of the Fallen Fortress credit on him, but that's it.

But I will not pregen. Never Pregen (except that one time), no mercy. Cobra Kai.

OOH, nope! Got the great desire to make my NIGHMARE DIFFICULTY Witch character. Elf Witch building time! Stock Super Witch, complete with HYPER DEATH MODE SETTINGS!! Building in progress.

I find this group make-up humorous considering I mentioned this was a RP heavy scenario. This should be excellent. Though I admit to remembering Andrazi charming the socks off of the High Priestess of Calistria in Riddleport. Then letting his companion get turned to stone shortly after that...

Hey, I could have played Corb; he's good at roleplaying, as long as roleplaying means "shoving his sword in some guy's head."

Brutus has the diplomacies.

Well I have 2 PCs in this tier, the other is my gunslinger.

At least Andrazi has some bluff and some intimimancy. I did do some charming in Riddleport, though the turned to stone thing was not my fault. That was just a painful experience for everyone.

I know, kidding only. (About the turning to stone part)

Forgot about the roleplaying mention....whoops, haha.

You guys will be fine. I admit that when I played this via VTT, the GM was British and I couldn't understand most of what he was saying, (possibly due to my cheap earbuds that I use) so when the scenario was over and I read through it, it was like "Oh! That's what we were doing!"

After making, like, 5 diplomacy-enabled PFS characters in a row, I gotta say that it's refreshing being a 100% goofster again.

Goof-Quotient has exceeded expected parameters.

Goof-Quotient is at MAXIMUM GOOF! All hands on deck! He's only gaining 1 hp a level! Oh nooooo!

Don't worry; one save-for-half effect and you'll be done with Steve, at least for a little while (if I'm lucky).

I'll have a post up later today. I picked up the flavor of the virus from my kids and passed out early on the couch after taking some meds. Working out of town today and don't have access to the scenario. Sorry for the delay.

I had hoped to be in Red's and Feral's Derrick's Dragon's Demand group, but it appears that is for naught. I hope he has taken on too much.

Oh yea, I forgot you had signed up. You could ask Derrick to switch you. Which one are you?

Yeah, just tell him you're in the 'smaller party' camp.

I put forth the gnome sorcerer and gnome druid concepts. I thought about asking him, but I have been somewhat "hard" on him about keeping up with his Dragon's Demand PbP, so I didn't want to appear to be a "pain", though I probably already do.

Pain archetype acquired for you.

To be fair, everything about Steve should be a mistake, but it's not.

Thanks for the query to Derek, Andrazi. I think I must have sent him a PM about the same time you posted. If you notice anything about Kistle, or recommend fine tuning, you guys let me know. I put him together in a hurry.

Yea, no problem. Well I don't know if Derek noticed this, but snowball and extra cantrips are both not core rulebook. I would replace them with magic missile and toughness/PBS respectively.

Yeah, after I asked I went back and looked, catching the same thing. Funny how you get used to options and think of them as normal/Core. I was thinking Toughness also, hadn't looked at spells yet.

Yep, me too. The number of not-terrible rogue talents in the CRB are very limited. It pretty much stops after trapspotter..

Combat Trick: AKA: "I wish I was a fighter."

-Posted with Wayfinder

Combat trick, finesse rogue, and the one that gives you weapon focus are all good.

Already have weapon finesse. So combat trick and weapon focus. That's really sad.

Well with that and Trapspotter that gets you through the module.

Sometimes I get the urge to play an all-Core character, but then the feeling of being potentially useless passes. Then I make a 5 Con Elf for nightmare mode! Isn't he running a 15 pb, too?

-Posted with Wayfinder

Yea, its 15 pb, which is workable. Yea, I guess I don't need Offensive defense...

I’m cheating. I’m playing the pre-magus best melee class.

Core only? How does that affect me?

And I'm playing the worst melee class, so I guess we even out.

The italics mean "Diplomacy" but Steve don't do that (maybe Aid if I think up some fun dialogue.)

-Posted with Wayfinder

Yep, that encounter has absolutely nothing to do with the plot, yet it is not an optional. Sorta feels like they wanted a filler encounter and threw in some wolves. I didn't understand it.

Gotta get them 3 encounters for experience, I guess. I am amused that Steve says a bunch dumb things and everyone (NPCs included) ignores him.

Art truly does imitate life. I have successfully burgled the essence of Steve*. I am a master Burglar.

*Local Player, whose characters inspired this character.

Heh.

That is funny.

To be fair, I've also burgled one other PC's character and done so expertly (or so I'm told), though kleptomaniac CN Ratfolk Alchemist is a character I'd actually play (hence why I leadership'd him when his player was going through military training, so he wouldn't fall grossly behind on XP.) Hell, if I somehow came across a Ratfolk boon, I'd probably make the Sweatbox Jr, because he was so damn fun to play.

"Squeak squeak. Hey, Captain. I'm gonna go get those gems."
"SWEATBOX, WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A FIGHT DON'T DO THAT."
"Squeak squeak. They've got fire and cold resistance anyways; I'm useless. Look at these gems, though!" Provokes 2 attacks of opportunity, drawing his crowbar and moving away to pry out gems.

... He lived in the sweatbox, hence his nickname.

Those sessions were something else....lol.

We will be finishing soon as Andrazi mentioned in Aarvid's recruitment. Would you guys go ahead and put up Day Jobs if you have them? That way I can do the Chronicles before I leave town, otherwise it would be Mon at the earliest before I could get them to you.

@Andrazi: Did you realize that Aarvid is Hugo from Hall of Drunken Heroes?

No day job. Thanks for running, as always.

Yea, I recently figured it out.

Not Stealing from people: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

Getting ready to leave within the half hour, to head out for a five hour drive to the in-laws. I will "hopefully" post an update this evening.

Day job? Steve barely works while ON the job!
