NotEspi's Evergreens (Standard) (Inactive)

Game Master NotEspi

I was just about to post with a sense motive roll anyway, so I just went with it. It's unlikely to help convince the man of anything, but it might help us catch him out if he tries any funny business. I trust that some of you will have more social grace than Eadric, and that we'll be fine this round if sense motive doesn't count :)

If worse comes to worse, I could try intimidate and use martial flexibility to get intimidating prowess, but I'll save that for an emergency.

I posted before reading this, but I rolled low anyway :/

What faction reward are you referring to, Cypher? You easily beat the minimums already.

Just got a explanation of the faction rewards, (Boss man just posted a correction on the front page threads) apparently I goofed in how they work (Due in part to a misunderstanding at how it works with my local chapter). I thought it meant my minimum dice roll was 10+faction goals for the sovereign court, not the total result. Kinda a bummer cause I'm so good with all those skills... I suppose maybe put it into disguise to prevent crit fails? Meh.

I mean, I REALLY shouldn't complain, next level my minimum is 27 on a natural 1 for diplomacy, and I can use it for bluff of disguise instead to at least mitigate crit fails.

That's the way I read it as well... Well I guess my Sovereign Court cavalier is just about to become pretty decent at disguise without a single rank invested :)

Site was down today, or was that just in my area?

I'm pretty sure it was down for everyone. I've only just got back on, but I don't have time to post until tomorrow now, sorry.

It was down this am for a while.

Site was down today, or was that just in my area?

I had the site down 3 different times when I tried to get in to post. I assume it's Murphy's law striking since the new game day slot kicked off today.

Just letting y'all know that my period of limited internet has officially begun. I'll try to post as much as possible, but it's likely to be sporadic at best.

Well, this is a bit of an awkward predicament. GM woes are a blessing and a curse at the same time. And I must admit, I grin like a retard as I write this. Allow me to explain my quandary here.

Cypher does what she does. This is all nice and dandy, but (and it's a big but), the scenario requires 3 successful rolls. For all intents and purposes, and given that majestic number that was Cypher's diplo result, I think we can consider it a double. As in two successful rolls in my book.

So - the question here is: Who's up for a three-way?

Because I need one more sucessful roll to okay this. Well, don't need, but - you know. I shouldn't be changing the scenario conditions, really.

Or, you could at least guard the door. *cough*

PS: All PG and stuff, of course. I wouldn't force people to write erotica over the internet. Well, not strangers anyway.

I could also give another diplo as a "make a request" roll perhaps.

Though, a guard the door check might be more... sensible.

Might be a STR or Intimidate or Disable device check, too. Like - locking doors and stuff. Get creative.

FYI not part of current discussion on rolls. Biltr's guarding the door (just out of sight). He can phase lurch through the wall and block the door at a command from Mori, which was why I wanted that room.

A stealth check might be in order, then.

Got a bit of a situation here and I'm on the phone only. I'll post in the morning. Some 7 hrs from now.

Eadric crushes the bottle in his hand. You will take some damage and spill the content as intended.

Play it out until I update, please. Cheers.

Folks, don't mess this up now. One roll that finishes the event.

Come on guys, I BELIEVE in you!

It's one roll per PC, right? Mori, Ssresrandu, you can do it :)

I mean Biltri might chime in as well, provided they can find something sensible to do with the guy at the bar.

Being a spoopy ghost and like ... phase in through the floor - scaring the guy into leaving, etc.

Ssresrandu should totally just scare the guy off, play bouncer and tell him that the lady doesn't appreciate being bothered and he needs to leave.

The fates are against me ever posting in this thread in a reasonable time...

Sorry about the delay, folks. Real life happened. Update soon.

Could this scene count towards my faction goal of convincing someone to not take an action that would damage the pathfinder society?

I'll have to go with no on that one. You merely delayed the guy, and they will probably meet up on the next opportunity to discuss the same issue. As far as I am aware, you didn't even make your affiliation with the Society known.

Nope, but it was worth a shot. :)

I don't have to reveal my affiliation with the society or with the sovereign court, I just have to talk them out of taking action against the pathfinders. I'm just keeping an eye out for the chance to do that.

Didn't you get that goal in the last scenario? In the tomb?

I have to fill two boxes for that goal, I filled the first one on the last mission, need to fill one more. :)

I've got my internet back, and should be back to normal now :)

Apologies for skipping on a few days of posting. I'll add something later today. Family member passed away.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Take as much time as you need.

Condolences :(

Condolences as well. :(

My condolences as well.

Thank you all. I am back now, but need to catch up with work in the office. I'll have an update later today when I get home (9 AM here, and I clocked in at 6, so in some 5-6 hrs. Thank you for being patient.

18 will do fine, and then some. The reason why I didn't tell you the options is that I feel it takes away from the experience and sort of affects the players' decision-making process. I am giving you space to improvise here. If you feel this is detrimental to your experience as a PFS player, let me know and I'll start listing those "suggested" options.

I forgot to say earlier that I'm totally fine with the way you are doing it. I just had a particularly unimaginative day ;)

Agreed, I like how you let us think things out, just prompt us like you did here if it looks like we're stuck and I'm super fine.

I'll get an update in later today.

Just to let you know - I am watching the thread. But waiting for you to give me a final go when you are done readying the warehouse and agreeing on your final plan.

I think we are ready to go, there is a majority agreement on the current state of blocked doors which was the final sticking point. Also, I moved Raman's token because they seem to be missing at the moment. ;)

Cypher, before I respond - You do realise you are essentially removing yourself from the rest of the scenario now, yes? At least Cypher specifically. Sweetsong can keep humming.

I consider it a proper sacrifice. I'm the diplomancer and enchanter and it's my job to use my power, if possible, to eliminate unnecessary combat and threats to my team and debuff enemies. Me walking away with 4 potential opponents is no different then the fighter tanking hits from 4 bandits, and I accept that sometimes that means I get "Knocked out" as it where. While I could try and manipulate it so that I can stay, it seems an unnecessary risk that, could, eventually, turn them against us.

I'll use sweetsong to still participate and act as a font of knowledge, but I'm okay with the results of my actions. :)

Fair enough. Just thought I'd point it out.

Totally understand and appreciate the consideration. Lots of people throw hissy fits when they can't participate in everything... hopefully nothing to huge happens after this point I miss out on, but at least with sweetsong I can make continued snarky remarks. :P

Waiting for Helme and Raman to pinch in, then we go.

Right. That's 36 or so hours. I contacted Helme and Raman. We'll wait until tomorrow and then proceed with botting.

Sorry about that. The week got away from me, and sucked. I usually have some time to post at work, but not this week. Posting now.

Alright then, folks. Looks like Raman is MIA. Anyone wishes to bot the character in the meantime?

I don't mind doing that.

Alright then. I'm hoping he will pop up from the woodwork during the working week, but in the meantime, take up the torch, please. Position him somewhere and set up an action or something and I'll get this show on the road.

A heads up from me. I'm leaving for the woods later today and I will get back on Sunday. I will probably have my phone only so posting will be slower and a little condensed. Please don't bot me during this period. Cheers!
