Nevis Lodge: First Steps, Part 2 - To Delve the Dungeon Deep (Inactive)

Game Master Paizo Fan

2nd level: hooray!

My wife has kindly given away our laptop to her sister, so in the meantime we're not going to have internet access. I'm hoping it's not a permanent matter (I'm so kindhearted, aren't I?), so might be back after the weekend.

I'm happy to roleplay a visit to the gillmeister's embassy or our return to Dreng, whichever everyone prefers.

Where shall we go from here?

Great, Targ is human now - and will go Andoran as faction, finally he (or better I) made up his mind.
So just wrapping up now, thanks for running!

Dayjob Targ 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

I will get the certs ready and sent in the next 10 days, this weekend I'm working at a beer festival... (hic!) ... we can play the return to dreng in that time if you want? If not I'll write another post to round it off.

Congrats, you all make 2nd level.

I am very busy at the moment, so will finish this one (as we are basically at the end), but not play another one.

Or not so busy, things changed. But, I have one request, can play faster and not drag? 7 months for a PFS adventure is too long IMHO.

I was happy to chip in and offer to GM the next scenario, but I've just started running a new PBP adventure path, I'm thinking realistically at the moment it would be difficult to take on any more GM duties. Though, I think I could manage as a player. I think it's great that we've managed to get through the whole trilogy. Or, we will have, once we can get in to see the embassy.

I have run it once and played it the 3rd time. It's just wrapping it up, basically it is finished.

I'm fine with the way its going, in reality you've finished the scenerio, I will try and do the paperwork this weekend, it's up too you what happens next, particularly with the embassy etc.

I don't mind DMing again, if you all want to continue.

Guys time to choose your faction, then I can complete the event etc.

And day rolls please ....

Thanks.

What you're doing now is extending the scenario, so I'm gonna credit you now and continue play until you decide to stop and return to

Done for Targ - see above.

Craft(Watchmaker): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

I'm pretty busy at the moment, but things should be settling down again by May. I'll still be able to post, but I could be pretty slow until then.

No day job to roll for Crar.

I'll probably be changing Crar's faction, but haven't decided yet which is the best fit. Should know by tomorrow.

I'll amend what I said before: Crar will be keeping his faction, Shadow Lodge. His loyalty is to those Pathfinders that he's adventuring with first, before the Decemvirate.

IMHO we can just end it, or? Return back and that's it.

Yeah, I vote we could end it. I was interested to see what we find at the embassy, but we've gotten a bit drawn out now I think. I was just curious, what was the reaction from the Pathfinder Society when we returned from our mission? I take it we didn't get 10 out of 10 for mission success.

Just wanted to ask, if you are sending out certs soon? Would be great!

Szarni for Latharel

And I had assumed in between we had finished.

Certs sent to Crar and Latharel, I don't have email addresses for Targ and Lillia, so can you PM me those please. The session info is available too.

If you don't receive the certs that have been sent, please let me know and PM me your email addresses.

Who is gonna DM next and what we gonna play?

I am available to DM if required.

Pete has told me I've got the prestige wrong and he's right, I didn't get the +1 Prestige for choosing a faction. I will reissue the certs with the correct numbers.

New certs sent for Targ, Latharel and Crar. I still need Lillia's email.

Any problems just shout.

Cheers Paul

P.S. Next Scenerio ...

These are the Season 0 games I haven't played yet ....

Silent Tide
Slave Pits of Absalom
The Many Fortunes of Grandmaster Torch
To Scale the Dragon
Perils of the Pirate Pact
King Xeros of Old Azlant
Fingerprints of the Fiend
Our Lady of Silver
Lyrics of Extinction.

I would like to have a go at Slave Pits of Absalom if the rest of you haven't played that one yet. just to get the ball rolling so to speak.

I've played Slave Pits of Absalom, so if nobody else has, then I'd be happy to run it next.

I played:
Silent Tide
Slave Pits of Absalom
Perils of the Pirate Pact
King Xeros of Old Azlant

Add Hyrda's Fang to the list of scenarios I haven't played.

I'm happy to run any of the scenarios I've played already, if you all wanted to play one.

I will check what I still can play - likely a very short list.

I'm away 28th March for 2 weeks holiday.

Looks like RL changes for me ahead, thought I manage, but I need to at least skip the next one. Sorry - but hey you could go for the slave pits.

Without Bedmyr or Targ, I think we should recruit another member to the Lodge?

Sorry, been swamped with work and cold, and I'm going away on vacation tomorrow, so won't be posting for a few weeks.

Deevor, thanks for GMing and for sending the certs. I didn't see them in my emails, but will check the junk drawer.

I'm happy to play anything pretty much, but don't think I can take on more GM duties at teh moment. Slave pits sound like they could be fun. I'm also fine if you want to recruit one or two others. There was a guy posted on here a while back, could he perhaps still join?

Hello, everyone back from their vacations/working trips etc?

Do you want to continue and take these characters on another scenario?

Sure! That would be fun. I've hardly taken part in any scenarios for this season, so can play pretty much anything.

Given that I think we should just get on with it ....

Has anyone played 4–07: Severing Ties, I played it at a convention and would be happy to take you through it.

The Pathfinder Society has discovered a new Aspis Consortium base in the pirate city of Riddleport and sends a small team of agents to infiltrate the rival cell disguised as newly hired mercenaries from Magnimar. After proving their value to the Aspis Consortium by carrying out a number of tasks throughout the City of Cyphers, the Pathfinders can learn the location of one of the consortium's local allies and ensure that the support the Aspis Consortium is counting on from their friends won't come.

Whilst I remember, if you any of you are Lantern Lodge or Shadow Lodge, I'd advise you to change now for these characters as those factions will be retired at PaizoCon 2013 and we won't get them to a level where they will be eligible for a transfer boon.

Or we could try Veteran's Vault a more traditional dungeon romp....

While many Pathfinders meet unfortunate fates in their ongoing explorations of the dangerous world of Golarion, some retire with decades' worth of treasure in their coffers, and their lives still intact. When one such Pathfinder approaches the Grand Lodge with the hidden location of her treasure vault, it falls upon a new generation of Pathfinders to retrieve from within a valuable keepsake. That they can keep anything other than the ex-Pathfinder's locket makes the assignment all the sweeter.

......another season 4 scenario, as I've got that one as well.

Lantern Lodge and Shadow Lodge are going to be retired? I hadn't heard that, bummer.

Either of those modules sound like they could do well for a PbP game. The rp side of me wants to go with Severing Ties, while the hackster side of me wants to explore the Pathfinder's lair in Veteran's Vault. But, is there anyone else still here? I hope so, but if not we may need to advertise.

I'll give them until Bank Holiday Monday then advertise. I've used the PM feature here to Lillia and Latharel, but not heard yet. If you have their emails, you could try sending an email.

Hey there guys.

Sorry for the absence, I took a job in Shetland and that has meant that internet access has been patchy at best.

I'm up for continuing to play now, as I'll be able to devote more time to it. I'm also going to look to get a VTT game going at least one night a week if anyone is up for that.

I've just booked my ticket at PaizoCon UK so I'll definitely be there!

Regards,
John

Welcome back John, I'll see you at PaizoCon UK then.

Sorry about the delay in responding; I've been out of the country for a long weekend.

I'm already down for Veteran's Vault at Paizocon, but I've not got a great deal of time to post at the moment, anyway, so I'm happy to sit this one out if you want to go ahead.

Cheers Deevor! Nice to see you still around too, Lillia!

Thx Lillia, glad you reminded me of that..... I'm down to play Veteran's Vault at PaizoConUK as well ... which leads me to conclude that we could try Severing Ties ....

So Crar and Bedmyr are in, Lillia is resting at the moment, unless I hear otherwise. I'll wait until Bank Holiday Monday for Thod, I should see him this weekend. So I will advertise for Severing Ties on Monday.

John, great to see you back. How you getting to Paizocon? I'll get in touch. "Severing Ties" sounds good.

I'm not sure how I'm getting there at the moment. How are you planning to get down? I could get to Edinburgh and share costs from there?

Spoke to Thod at the weekend and I'm not expecting him back on to play this game. So I'll get a recruitment up later, will try and get some more UK based Lodge members.

Sorry - I got too busy with other stuff lately and rather sit it out.

Recruitment thread open, put a request to the webmaster to join the discussion thread to the campaign.

Severing Ties Campaign, includes recruitment thread too.

The last day for recruitment is Friday, after which I'll close any more applications. So if you want to please go over and look at the candidates and let me know which 4 you want to adventure with, I'd appreciate it. I'd rather we get a bit of concencus, (if I could spell it!).

At the moment, I have no real preference aside from Rom the Unchained. Of the two Barbarians, his seems better put together.

I'm going to split the group into 2 groups, obviously the first will join you for Severing Ties. I want the level 2 applicants to join us, to keep the party at roughly the same level, so you get a barbarian and a wizard, then I think a 1st level Rogue doesn't go amiss. I'm hoping to get the Ranger (Beastmaster) back into the game to make up the party, which I think a good range of skills etc, although maybe lacking a little in some charismatic skills.

Then for the other game I can put a 1st level crew together:
sorcerer, barbarian, bard, oracle.

OK feeling somewhat miffed ... just seen that 3 of the people who applied to join were sent private invitations to join another group setting up to play Severing Ties...so no ranger. So that's the way you do it, wait for someone to put up a recruitment thread and pick off the best candidates for your own game. So that was the ranger, the bard/lore master and another barbarian, the first 2 would have got in the game, I liked the bard/lore master idea. So really ******* offed by what's happened, can't change it so... Unless you have any objections that's what I'd like to do.

Perhaps you should have a word with the other DM? That's quite a low thing to do, and I'm not at all impressed with what he's done.

Guys come on over to the Severing Ties game....

I've made a discussion thread, as it doesn't look like they will add our other thread (I mean this thread) to the game, as I'm a different gamemaster. Either that or I was just impatient.
