Netopalis' Temple of Empyreal Enlightenment (PFS 2013 PBP Game Day) (Inactive)

Game Master Netopalis

Got it. Thanks for the suggestions! This is my first PBP, so I'm always happy to take any help that may be offered.

Forgot to mention the character's favorite dessert !

He likes Strawberry Charlotte :P

Can I get a token on there for Daisy, too? If so, that'd be great, and thanks!

Daisy Token

New pbp people may want to check out a quick pbp Guide. It's more geared towards players then GMs though.

you can also ask for one save & initiative roll now in the discussion thread. Then use them as you need them. I like players to roll their own dice & ask for one AoO also.

Another suggestion with the map link: add it your to your GM profile.

While I would tend to agree that people like to roll dice, it seems like anything predefined and assumed could be handled by the GM. I would gladly give up my right to roll my own initiative if it means getting the party started sooner.

Same thing with saves... if a Witch decides to hex me, I doubt I'm going to waive my right to the Will save. It's going to be rolled eventually, and I'm not superstitious about rolling (digital) dice. :P

Well, most perception rolls and some saving throws will be rolled secretly, as per this adventure.

It's ok for me.

But if something could kill me I would like to be able to reroll :)

This.

Works for me :) good note on the reroll option. I too have a shirt.

Oh, sure. Will do.

I'll be going dark around 5:00 PM EST this evening (Friday) and won't be regularly active again until Sunday night. I'm an administrator for a local convention and will be a bit predisposed until I get back home.

The GM has been give standing orders for my character to run as an NPC, but please feel free to recommend skill checks appropriate for Mizunoken.

The way I read the rules on breaking, IF it's what I'm being lead to believe it is (a knife), a 9 should hit (AC = 10 - 5 - 3 + 4 = 6) and 12 damage ignoring hardness should absolutely ruin it.

That is to say, IF it's what I'm being lead to believe it is... :P

Due to its ability to move, the AC is higher.

This weekend, I will be at a convention, so expect my rate of posting to drop.

A heads up, I will be away from the interwebs for the next 10 days or so. GM may use Shan has he sees fit.

Did I miss something? Are we taking the weekend off? :)

Netopalis is at a convention, so not really, but he said he wouldn't be posting much.

Sorry, I was a bit busy over the weekend.

I've emailed the GM. I'm sure things will continue to be slow throughout Thanksgiving week, but lets hope to fire the game back up by next week.

Sorry about the delay; I pulled a muscle in my back on Tuesday, and ended up spending practically the entire time from then until now in bed, recovering.

That's why I never do sports ! It's too dangerous :P

Hope you're now alright Netopalis !

Ironically, I pulled it playing RPGs. Tripped over a friend's chair. :P

Trust me, it didn't stop him trying to steamroll us in Carrion Hill Sunday. :P

I'm in the 3d book :) Playing it with a Dispater cleric.
And you ?

And you ?

Carrion Hill, module for Levels 4-6. Ran my Huntmaster Cavalier through it.

Sorry I read Carrion Crown :P

I played it with my ninja and was almost killed by the thing !
When I ran it i killed one of the player. Tough but a good module.

Welcome back Netopalis.
Well Wishes :)

Neto, Skeleton 2 is up. It if matters, I have no problem if you want all the skeletons to go at the same time. It would definitely speed things up. I'm a big fan of group initiative in PbP. It keeps the momentum going.

^ Agrees with Shan

Well, that sort of negated that issue. :P

Hey all,

Will things slow down or speed up with the holidays approaching? Tis about the same either way for me, but thought I would get everyone on the same page.

While I am asking, are we on target to finish this in time for the online game day deadline?

We should be able to finish it up; you're very near the end now.

Bringing it up here since I don't want to clutter up the gameplay thread.

I don't think that Sacred Summons works the way Tamerius believes it does. I've researched this before - Here is a good thread about it

Essentially if you summoned a lemure it would work, but I don't think it affects fiendish animals.

I apologize if I am mistaken.

I was going to let it go since Netopalis doesn't have a problem with it, but yeah, it wouldn't work with the eagles, since they don't have an alignment subtype. In Tamerius' case, it should work with Lemures and variant Hell Hounds at II, Hell Hounds and variant Cerberai at III, Bearded Devils and Kytons at V, Erinyes at VI, Bone Devils at VII, Barbed Devils at VIII, and Ice Devils at IX. Those are the only ones on the Summon Monsters lists that have Lawful and Evil subtypes (that I'm aware of).

When it talks about subtypes, it's looking for something like Outsider [Lawful][Evil]. Templates that change a summon's alignment don't count with Sacred Summons.

I may have read it wrongly and you're right. I can't use sacred summon on fiendish animals. My apologies.

BTW, where is Improved Summons from?

No worries. They only did one point of damage anyway.

Sacred summons is in Ultimate Magic (I had to look it up :)

Sacred Summons is from Ultimate Magic (p. 155)

If you check Tamerius's sheet (sorry for looking under the hood, bro), he also has "Improved Summon" listed.

And that is what I was asking about =v)

It's augment summoning :)

heh I started looking for improved summon, and couldn't find it so went back to previously mentioned feat. Even worse I read it as superior summoning the first time it was mentioned. :p

Seems as if we are nearing completion, congrats everyone :)

It's pretty much over; I'll have chronicles on Monday. You're welcome to wrap this up as you guys wish, the scripted portion of the adventure is over.

I have to say, I was very pleased. Timing issues on my part aside, I think that it went very, very well. Do any of you have any suggestions for improvement? This was my first time GMming a PBP.

It was great Netopalis :)
I'm glad to have Tamerius played this one and I hope everyone enjoyed playing with him !

I don't have any strong suggestion as you have made a great job here :)

Just as Hawk said earlier don't forget to bold NPC's speech it's much clearer for your player.

It was good, a lot of clarifications and suggestions were made early and you implemented them well.

Day job roll (Heal): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Have Temple from PP points

On another note - at the conclusion of this Hawk will hit level 3, so hurray for that

Day Job, Profession: Sailor: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27 Row boys, row.

Day Job Take 10 for 20 with Survival, Hunting Lodge Vanity.:
