GM Turmoil's Segang Expedition (Inactive)

Game Master ckelley83

For everyone playing, if I could go ahead and get the following info

Player Name:
Character Name:
PFS #:
Faction:
Day Job:

Player Name: John Woodford
Character Name: Jivan
PFS #: 67750-14
Faction: The Exchange
Day Job: None

Haven't picked a PC yet. Are there any faction missions on this one?

Based on the lineup, it looks like we should have plenty of skills and ranged damage, but we may be short on front liners and healing. Unless anyone disagrees with that assessment, I'll probably pick a PC based on that.

That probably means either my level 2 shillelagh wielding druid with a wand of Cure Light Wounds or my level 3 buff/heal/support cleric. The cleric isn't really meant to be a front liner, but he should be fine tanking in subtier 1-2. I'll have to look and refresh my memory on my other PCs at this level.

I'll check back in a few hours and post a PC then.

Player Name: DystopianDream
Character Name: Hamith
PFS #: 234492-1
Faction: Grand Lodge
Day Job: Profession (Blacksmith): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

There are things of interest for Sovereign Court members

Player Name: Codanous
Character Name: Lady Isabel Ferrari
PFS#: 60921-16
Dayjob: Craft Alchemy + Crafter's Fortune: 1d20 + 9 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 9 + 5 = 30
Faction: Sovereign Court

Yeah I am excited that this is a Sovereign Court mission! Also, Booyahh that dayjob roll!

Isabel is almost entirely skills and support right now. She'll get better with combat at higher levels but right now she is entirely a skill monkey and someone who uses the Antagonize feat.

The only skill I think we don't have covered at the moment is Survival, which we probably want heading into a jungle and hunting something. But, we could always rely on wayfinders and skill tools, too.

Nice dayjob roll! I'm just glad I got above 10.

Ok, I'll bring the druid. He's really not that kind of druid, though. I mean, he's really not that kind of druid.

He's an urban guy who just happens to have a connection to monkeys and quarterstaffs. It has more to do with being blessed by Sun Wukong than nature.

I did throw a rank in survival, though, just because it's a wisdom based class skill, so I figured he could be decent at it. But it's not his focus at all.

Player Name: Fromper
Character Name: Boon Sai Hong (and PoPo the Monkey)
PFS #: 38137-13
Faction: Liberty's Edge
Day Job: Being this cool is his job

I'll get his stats online soon.

Given the faction involved, how about if I take a bard/3, whip trip guy? No Survival, but some Knowledge (Nature).

Honestly, this scenario is just perfect for my character's background! Been wanting to build this grippli gunslinger since I got the boon for it. (Will explain more in game.) And as a soldier, he has survival, too.

Player Name: kuey
Character Name: Brooaka 'Duskglider'
PFS #: 215076-11
Faction: Soereign Court
Day Job: profession(soldier): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19 Doh! Just one more point. That only buys me one alchemical cartridge. :)

Looking at the rest of the party, I'll stick with the kineticist.

Player Name: Mike McKeown
Character Name: Glomintar (No 2)
PFS #: 2072-35
Faction: Dark Archive
Day job: None

@Brooka - fyi there's an actual grippli avatar now. search the avatars by recent date.

Even though it's probably obvious, I just want to state that we are playing low tier based on APL

Thanks, Glomintar! Transformed!

Your perception and initiative rolls in the spoilers at the top leave off my familiar. The monkey can't talk, but he can express himself other ways if he notices something interesting, so I usually like to roll his +9 perception separately. I'll certainly understand if you just want him to go on my initiative, rather than tracking him separate for that.

I'll be traveling all day today, and won't be able to post anything until tomorrow.

Just a heads up that posting may be spotty over the next week. My wife is set to be induced on Thursday which means I'll be at the hospital for a couple days. There is a chance I'll be sitting there in the hospital for a long time though, so I may get a post or two in. But after that, I'm sure we will have our hands full with the newborn. And of course it's the holiday weekend so everyone will be pretty busy anyways.

Congratulations! I have an 18 month old daughter but I remember those newborn days like they were yesterday.

I vaguely remember those days (my kids are in their early to mid-20s). Good luck to you both, and congratulations!

Congrats! My little girl will be 16 months in a couple days.

Congratulations!

Congrats!

Congratulations, GM!

oh FYI my chronicle should say GM star replay too on it. thanks :) Happy holidays all

How's the family doing, GM T?

Everything is going well with them. The wife is still a bit sore as she ended up having an emergency c-section. But everyone is happy and healthy now. Can't say well rested though. My son is been on an every hour feeding kick for the past couple nights.

Thanks for playing, I hope you all enjoyed it. After a scenario I like to ask if anyone has any feedback they would like to provide, whether it be in relation to me as a GM or if it's just thoughts on the scenario. I will try to get the chronicles completed sometime tomorrow.

Thanks for running! I think you did a good job of reffing and keeping things moving despite the large amount of RL you were dealing with. Re the scenario, the "tiger" encounter seemed to be well justified and foreshadowed, but I wasn't getting a good handle on why the two asuras were at the temple. Maybe if we'd gotten a decent Knowledge check to ID them we would have had a better idea, though. I did like the mix of combat and social, even though Jivan's not exactly a face. Well, not at all a face, although at least I didn't dump CHA.

thanks for GMing! I think you did a great job with the Pbp. Keep the combat's moving and got a lot of role playing in for the group.

It was very enjoyable, sorry I almost forgot to ask the guy to join. I stopped using those faction cards before season 7 started.

Just too much faffin about.

Yes, thank you! I had loads of fun. Everything moved at the right pace. My first time playing a scenario in PBP, and it makes me want to play them this way more now.

@ Jivan: They were a variant asura called a tripasura, and they in particular "seek out the pious to torment, as well as holy places and relics to pollute with the taint of loathing and faithlessness." So basically just an evil outsider that likes to vandalize holy places.

@ Hamith: I'm glad you liked the PbP format, and I would never have guessed this was your first attempt! I thought you did a great job and your RP was on point. You are always welcome at my tables.

HERE are the chronicles. Let me know if anything needs to be corrected.

My character was definitely off her kilt a bit in this game, I learned she is better suited toward more urban adventures.

I think my diplomacy roll at the end was the only successful thing I did lol.

@GM Turmoil: Thank you! I hope we get to play again soon.

@Lady Isabel: I think you handled it well though, especially through RP. For me, it's interesting to watch characters out of their areas of expertise and see how they respond.

Got the chronicle--thanks again!

GM T--if we're done, can you set this campaign to inactive?
