Insane Season 5-6 Run (Inactive)

Game Master ScorchedOne

Welcome to it! A thread for all our non IC related needs.

I really missed the bolding of chat there. Will attempt to be better about that in the future. Walls of text are annoying. :\

Mivvy here!

Me too.....missed that gameplay was up...might want to let all in recruitment know :)

I let recruitment know that discussion was up. Hopefully they come here and see that game play is up.

I just sent them PM's too.

Thank you, just found out :)

I am present! I did miss the thread at the start. My apologies.

It's all good. This is still the "briefing" portion. The tavern is the real opportunity for roleplay.

I don't suppose the board counts as a trap for using Disable Device, does it? I assume it would take Craft and materials to repair it.

It does not count as a trap in that way, it is listed as a hazard, much like walking a ledge.

Scorched One, how would you like to handle opportune parry and riposte?
It's meant to trigger after attack rolls but before damage. Will that slow the game down too much?

If it happens, we'll deal with it at the time. Not worried about it slowing the game down that much.

My 2cp on Parry and Riposte: I believe the best course of action is declaring it at the end of your turn, in case you get attacked. That said, I traded it out for that specific reason when I made my swashbuckler...

Scorched, do you have an arrow recovery rule?

I think standard is half of missed arrows. If not, I heard it somewhere so let's say that.

OK, do I recover arrows that hit? Or half of them as well?

Happy Thanksgiving to those in the USA. Everyone else Happy Thursday!

Sure let's go half there too.

I'm going to pop in here real quiet-like...

Psst...Buy Dreng rotgut...for science! Yeah...science...

HEY! Dreng and his friend the haberdasher have no need of your rotgut.

If anyone gets that joke, they are awesome. That is the most awesome character in PFS period. PERIOD.

Sorry, I have been swept away by the slightly early birth of my second child.
I will try to get back on board in the next few days but feel free to bot me as needs be.

Congratulations!

Congratulations

Congrats! Just saying, but Lee is a name that goes great for either gender/sex/whateverthetermisnow.

Congrats!

I'm not built for Diplomacy, Dev, Mivvy or Virog could probably help.

You guys just butchered this encounter. So many diplomacy fails. It hurts. Thankfully, this is not something that disqualifies you from the scenario. It is very forgiving that way.

That was hilariously bad.

So gang, do we move along and try with the next shift, or do we hurt him and go in anyway?

I can try to sneak by, but I wouldn't like to be alone in the mausoleum. Perhaps try to look for traces of the gnome and come back with sunlight?

I like either of Shaya's ideas (sneaking or coming back later when there is a different guard) better than attacking.

I will say that this guy looks significantly stronger than you guys. And he appears to be a cleric-y sort.

Come back later, it is! Time to meander off in search of more profitable searches.

Skaya, Skaf, Shaya, and Virog, thank you for your postings. Mivvy, I understand you are with a new child and am glad to make accomodations there. Dev, we could use a few more posts from you please.

Happy New Year, Everyone!
May all your endeavours in the new annum go enormously well!

So, funny illusion story time.

Once upon a time, there was a module in which you fight illusions. Well, in fighting these illusions when I ran it, all but one of our party members disbelieved. One did not. He was at like 2 hit points because of damage from illusions. They're all saying "It's not real." And he's like "HELP ME YOU IDIOTS I'M DYING!"

It was hilarious.

I still occasionally ask him to roll a will save to disbelieve when things attack him, only to state "Nope, that's real." Or "You feel pretty sure that a solid matter x just hit you."

I had a whole party walk on a bridge made by walls of force covered in silent images. All went well until they stumbled on a Programmed Image that showed the bridge crumbling. Now, the wizard smelled the trick and had the good sense to glitterdust the bridge, revealing the illusion, but not before the rogue, in a somewhat hasty decision, jumped off the rail, trusting his Ring of Feather Fall to have him land safely away from the debris.
The rest of the session was spent trying to get him out of the crevice.

About illusions in Fimbrik's house... Well, I'd like to believe that we're not so dense as to not suspect that they're illusions. We just can't get our subconscious minds to believe that.

That's easily my favorite part about illusions. You can suspect whatever you want, but proving it is always the kicker.

Did we lose both our swashbucklers? Frontline and face?

We very well may have.

Sorry for being out of the game so long. The boy had every minor newborn ailment you could find: he's fine now but it's been overwhelming.
I'll try to get caught up and back into it ASAP.

I'm sorry that I haven't been able to post much this week. Work has been an utter atrocity. I should be able to return to a normal post schedule tomorrow.

It happens. I will actually be vacationing later this month, so trying to resolve this before then so we can transition to the next scenario.

As for a leaving order, Mivvy first, then Virog, me and Skag, Saya closing?

Sounds good to me.

I'm fine with that.

Yup

Are we going to be able to finish this one? We're almost done I think.

Yeah, sorry, I guess somehow I missed it was my turn. Again.

I didn't get to take an action but now have been revived. Does that count as a delay?
