GM Woran's Rise of the Runelords

Game Master Woran

A bunch of my regular PFS group received Ratfolk Boons and we want to make a traveling caravan that takes advantage of Stealth and Swarming. I'll probably be the spellcaster, and I'm torn between a high Int Sage Sorcerer or a support build like Justin.

We just finished Ire of the Storm in Campaign Mode so we're starting out at like 4th level (most of us have been doing PFS for so long there's few low level scenarios we could play through).

AI have a kitsune space invader character. His mini is coinlike, so he can stack with and go under other minis.

Why am I doing two cons back to back? Why am I GMimg a special again? I have 5 stars. I have mothing to prove.
My brain is not functioning.

I just came to that same revelation!

I went to a Con a few weeks ago and ran back-to-back Starfinder and Pathfinder. Over the course of four days I lost my voice and only played once!

This next Con I'm taking the morning slot off every day so I can sleep in, go out for breakfast, and not feel rushed wandering the rest of the halls or shopping.

Playing 3, GMing 3, and not overloading myself.

cons are really my only chance to play in meatspace, so i'll dm half at most.

At least i now have german beer for my troubles

always worth it.

Looks like justin could use some. Talking to Dayo makes him wish his brain could turn off.

Just like justin to confuse love at first sight with a compulsion spell.

To be fair he likely has a lot more experience with one than the other

It actually really is Divine Providence. Hermeans aren't bred to love...

Brain.. clouds..

"Here, why don't you manage the modified elder air elemental on top of your alchemist.. also, please figure out how to use these Wishes against something you couldn't make the Knowledge DC to even identify but which probably has comprehensive immunities, saves and spell resistance... chop chop, we haven't got all day..."

Holy crap, "scales of red, burn you dead" was priceless.

Ratfolk knowledge is nothing if not practical and to the point.

Con in germany was excellent. So much great food. I am proud how I made my second run of solstice scar "Butt cheeks clenched all the way" level of tension, without anyone actually dying. They were close a LOT of times.

Need so much sleep

I apologize to everyone for the novel that BigNorseWolf and I left for you to read...

part of the reason i have justin as sleepy is to let someone else grab the mic.

Also i think i was sleepy when i wrote some of these..

I left several hours in between most of my posts, but also didn't want to get lost in competing dialogues.

I don't want to grab the mic just for its own sake, I'd just as soon let you two keep feeding the hot hand.

No worries. And yeah, AB-Con was awesome.

I ran the same tier I played last week, but you wouldn't know it. Last week enemies barely got turns, this time it was the ragewights mobbing the paladin and chanting "one of us! one of us!".

When I told them that "yes, and this giant also has improved critical on thrown rocks, and the rocks also do negative levels" they kinda broke.

I have con-crud.

occupational hazard

Should we buy you some time for fluids with justin MST3King Dayo's story time? :)

I think its a good moment to get Dayo into the story. Ill have to see when I am able to think straight again.

I have to go back to work tomorrow, which isnt the greatest of ideas, bu we'll see how I manage.

I assumed I would just join up. Have Rataji say she's not "feeling well", and Dayo can help identify whoever he heard.

Or, instead, it's Petaba (her and Vy's adoptive father) that's not feeling well, or has a sudden urgent matter to attend to somewhere far away, or somesuch, and Rataji accmpanies him to see after him.

We have lost beatstick. We have gained beatstick. Must be divine provenance.

"Now remember, just because this is Joe's new PC doesn't mean you guys should automatically trust him. For all you know he's just a random guy you met in a suspicious wilderness location."

"Hey."
"Hey."
"You coming?"
"Sure."

Hey, this is an extensive background check for a ragtag group of adventurer's. The audition's tomorrow morning.

Does it involve tambourines??

I've SO got this!

No, we're good on the tambourine front.

No, really, we're...

"one for the doctor, one for the patient. Two for the patient 1 2 for the doctor..."

Its what I meant. Having you tell your story integrates you nicely.

"one for the doctor, one for the patient. Two for the patient 1 2 for the doctor..."

"Yeah, just keep pourin' em out. I work for an alchemist, I can tell ya when we've had enough..."

I am starting to feel better. Fever has gone down. Not being delerius from the fever helps. A lot.

*hands GM a kitten*

Keep it away from Justin, though.

Anyways.
The family affair.
Snowflake and his sister were foundlings in Sandpoint. They were raised by the cleric at the temple. Snowflake was shunned for his white fur while his sister was seen as a luck token.
One day the temple burned down, killing his foster parent and sister Snowflake who wasn't at the temple that night and whose body wasn't found at the site, feared they would blame him, ran away.
Years later Rataji travelling with her Father saw Snowflake beside the road running a hEaling booth, and she recognised him for what he was, an An aasimar Oracle. Snowflake got adopted by her and her father.
Their travels brought him back to Sandpoint where he found out his former sister isn't as dead as he thought she was

That helps so much! Thank you!

Space kittens!

that isn't a kitten its a killing machine in training!

My turn to be off at a convention for the geekend.

Oh oh oh oh oh...

hanging tough?

Yeah, I was starting to realize this was the one monk with less wisdom than Vitro.

Also, I really need to stop making Vitro be a sensible person. Needs much more "New Kids" flavor in it.

Dayo's high Charisma, average Intelligence, low Wisdom.

You're high Intelligence, average Charisma, low Wisdom.

But each of those stats represents several possible character traits. The highschool jock can't do simple math, but he can inspire his team, while the bookworm memorized every formula and can barely speak up in a crowd.

And then you have skills on top of that, and the training that your class bestows. So you're fine. Vitro may not have experienced much of the outside world (low Wis), but he can figure out the most logical approach (high Int).

Every religious character I've played before was a zealot. They knew their religion inside and out (and typically had a positive Wisdom score). But since Dayo is a multiclassed convert, I figured he'd still be learning as he goes. His extremely idealistic and sheltered upbringing is his main reason for having a low Wisdom, but there are lots of ways to explain it for other characters.

I assume Justin is dreaming?

Hopefully....

I assume Justin is dreaming?

Dreaming/remembering what happened in the glassworks.

Getting up to walk is real. probably.

I'll make several individual posts to transit you all to the next day.

otherwise I'm revoking all your pudding privileges."

now THATS a nightmare

Bethana raised kids. She knows how this works.

*checks*

Aqueous orb is in fact a wizard spell...

Snowflake and I are larping this weekend. I'll start the new day once we get back.
