Omega Team Orders from the Gate PFS PBP Gameday V (Inactive)

Game Master Curaigh

I would like to have everyone respond with the following information, before any other posts get started here. When it comes time to complete chronicles, or in the event I provoke an AoO or need to control the character of an absent player, these will conveniently all be at the top of the first page.

The clerk who is organizing the meeting for the VC has conveniently provided you an example. (And also a quick reply option :)

+2d6 if evil from holy enchant

That is a lot of damage, Alfred!

Ummmmmmm, I not actually sure why the macro turned out to that unless I misplaced something

Needless to say, I am fixing Count Alfreds upper stanza to show his basics

Alfred: you might have missed a closed bracket (]) so the system sees "roll d20 25d6 times". Or 100 d4s, might have had an extra zero. :)

The scenario landed in my hands today & tomorrow is the day. Here are a couple things that will be helpful.

Post daily or nearly daily. I only get one day off a week so you may not see a post from me on that day, but chances are good I will still be lurking. Quite often folks will be waiting for someone else to post, who is also waiting for them to post. If you check in one day and have nothing to add, no problem. If you check in the next day and still have nothing to add, please post to say as much. Use it as an RP post: casting spark for a fire wizard, polishing a ring for the master jeweler, a catchphrase if you have one. If you will be out for a while, please let me know.

If three people consent to an action, I will continue with that action. If the rest of the party REALLY didn't want something to happen I can back up or retcon. There is no reason two doors on the left and right should bring an advanced party of adventurers to halt.

Saves DCs will be in a spoiler. I want you to make the roll. If you have a reroll you can decide to use it before knowing the outcome and not have to wait a day.

I want players to roll initiative, but will post the opponent's initiative so if you beat it you can also post an action. This will again prevent waiting.

We will use google docs for maps, and I will provide a link in my avatar.

Please post DCs with spells, SLA, or other effects that require them. Please link obscure (non-core) spells or abilities for my convenience.

Please include defensive numbers (AC, immunities, CMD, Perception) in your profile. I do not need every detail in the short description, just those that will directly effect the NPC (re-) actions. Please make sure your profile is up to date. Unlike a face to face game, character audits will not take time from the game so I make them more frequently in PbP.

Please track consumables & post anything out-of-character longer than a couple lines in the discussion thread.

Please, Please, PLEASE ask me any questions you have. I cannae see your face to tell if you are struggling with something or not. No matter how small the question might seem I am happy to answer. (do you know what d20 stands for? I have answered that question in two of my last three games:) So please ask.

Wow long post, sorry about that. Tomorrow will be worse. :)

I did a thing, its a long string of things
But it has all that matters for the character, he sunders armor and weapons alot, and I do mean alot. when he crits he gets a free sunder from Sundering Strike,

Boon from seeker quest line that might matter

Should post this here. Does she REALLY act that way to another hellknight?

My apologies, I had a last minute no notice travel for work. just got back and I am catching up.

As a note I'll be at a con this weekend. Friday-Monday.

I should still manage a post a day, but am quite unlikely to manage any more than that.

Please feel free to bot me as necessary.

She doesn't actually have the ability to co-opt me was that speech not meant for me then?

So... this is an out of character question to an in-character effect? I meant for the tone of her introduction to be matter-of-fact and not derisive. The hellknights will lay their life down if she orders it and she expects her guests to follow orders as well. She does offer due respect to your rank. I suppose I would add in:

After introducing the Pathfinders to the mission, she looks to the commander as if to say "Sir, they can follow orders right?" The Signifier directs questions for any Pathfinder to the commander.

I hope that helps? :)

Now if you want to assume rank and lead the Hellknights and the mission I will roll with your RP to the best of my abilities, just keep in mind the scenario wasn't written that way. It will be fun to explore, as a GM, but please keep in mind the whole table. :)

To your second question, they are all from the Order of the Gate (as the scenario title alludes). On a related note, do the various orders respect each other's ranks? I relate this to an army captain serving on board a battle ship, she will follow the commander's orders unless they counter-dict her CO's orders. I do not know if that is a good analogy or not.

I assume the map is of Gozreh's Fork, after 2 days of marching. Do we have any in-character reason to suspect danger here in particular?

Did you want to know if you should cast buff spells and the like? The march will be several hours for at least two days if that answers your question.

By the way...

Thanks for being a good sport about me throwing you under the bus RainyDayNinja <3

Haha, you have more than 4 times her Charisma, so she's certainly not going to stand up to you!

Correct Taverious, mire prevents movement, casting spells & attacks. And then only for 1d2 rounds (I rolled 1).

Did my confusion bomb have any effect last round, DM

Ru focuses on pure damage with his bomb this round, throwing it at the closest beast.

RTA with Inspiring Command 1d20+12+2

Damage 4d4+6+

Negative Ru, both made their saves. (Does it only affect one? I was treating it as AE but probably based on splash damage in my head. Does this one deal splash damage?

The blue was dazed (hence didn't AoO or attack Fatima).

It only affects one of Them. Well it was worth a try, lol.

Hey all, I can't reach internet from my phone without it opening to a page saying 'click to win an I-phone'. Since I won't click OK (its a trap!) I am unable to lurk. It is also the time of year where I spend ALL day at my day job.
I will be back to posting normally next Tuesday, but it will be sporadic until then. Thank you for your patience.

I will be in transit for a bit as I make my way back to the states. I will try and keep up as much as I can but please bot me as needed.

I'll be in Canada the 4th-9th. I should have internet and manage at least a post a day but will likely be a bit slower than normal.

DM, is everything okay? This game is crawling along. Do we need to do something differerent to get momentum again?

Your GM sucks is all. Trying to get it together.

Hey Y'all.

I have been asked to help with some ballot counting stuff & will not make a post until tomorrow. Sorry about the last minute notice, but I am quite excited to have been asked. :)

Fatima is up. She also has two questions from her identification and Alistina shall get three more.

Ruprecht, acid was partially resisted. Do you want to (can you) try a different energy? Also confusion may not be the best option.

Fatima recalls a lesson describing large outsiders. These chaotic qlippoths are known as shoggti and have mind draining abilities and resist damage from common weapons.

Fenrik, do you have a cold iron weapon? lawful? I realize I could have phrased that better. Also you did connect once, DR just softened the blow some.

All, please correct me if this is incorrect.
R4
That which peels flesh (23): Attacks Fenrik
Fatima (21): <--here now
Ruprecht (21): confusion bomb
Alistina (20): Attacks red mystic
Fenrik (18): retreats
Tavarius (17): casts CSW
Mystic (6):

R3
That which peels flesh (23): Attacks Fenrik
Fatima (21): casts haste
Ruprecht (21): throws bomb
Alistina (20): casts order's wrath
Fenrik (18): cuts TWPF
Tavarius (17): moves (+immediate freedom of movement)
Mystic (6):attack Fatima

Tavarius, did you make an action in R3 or just move? {Invisibility went up in R2)

I don't see that Fatima ever told us that, DM. Ru has never encountered one of these before, so he'd try the Confusion bomb. If I missed a post tellign us about the creature, I'd happily retcon!

She made the check, the quote is from me. She still has questions so maybe it will come out yet. :)

Ah, I might try to retcon after all, then!

Oops, I forgot I had questions to ask. And I would assume Fatima would share the information.

How about resistances, and special weaknesses?

Fenrik, do you have a cold iron weapon? lawful?

He has an adamantine dueling sword.

I will be helping a buddy move cross country over the next 5 days or so. Apologies for the bad timing. Feel free to bot me as necessary.

Fenrik, please give me a couple of attacks & I will apply them as needed. Feel free to add some flavor & strategy if you want.

Alpha Team is just about finished. Delta Squad finished yesterday, I will be able to focus here a little better. :)

The Qlippoth has resistances to fire, acid, & electricity 10. Weakness would be to cold iron and lawful. For alistina's roll, I will add immunities: cold, mind affecting, and poison.

We only have a few days left in the game day. How close are we to the end? Is it possible that we finish on time?

Ack this last month has gone by so quickly!
As long as everyone fails every saving through needed, and I crit on every hit, you pesky Pathfinders should all be finished soonot!

In truth, yes we are close.

Is anyone on Slow Track?

Pirate Rob or anyone else who is likely to have been at PaizoCon 2009 or 2010: could you check a chronicle from that day at tell me the event code? I am trying to track down the PFS number I got back then. (I think it is assigned to an email from an old employer)

I wasn't there in either of those years unfortunately.

RL Name: Frank Bird
Character Name: Fenrik Wolfblade
PFS Number: 114768-9
Faction: Sovereign Court
Day Job: Sleight of Hand: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Boon Rolls! 20 16 are the winning numbers for Gameday V.
Tavarius: 1d20 ⇒ 20Nice! I will need an email to get the boon to you. PM me if you want or I can give you my gmail account.
Ruprecht: 1d20 ⇒ 19
Fatima: 1d20 ⇒ 14
Fenrik: 1d20 ⇒ 11
Alistina: 1d20 ⇒ 15
VT: 1d20 ⇒ 9

Woot, a winner is me. PMed.

For your reference only. The real deal will be up Friday or Saturday.

EDIT: boon #: 1d6 ⇒ 2

The real deals.
If you do not find your chronicle in your party's folder, please check the other folder. Please also double check that I filled everything out correctly. I did 15 of these and the chances of making a mistake are pretty good. I will take them down after I know everyone has gotten their chronicle, but if for some reason I do so before you get it, I have a copy on my local machine.

Thank you all for sticking through it. I apologize that you did not get the best game I as a GM am capable of. Taking on three tables (even with the same scenario), while playing in five others was too much. I was down to playing in only two by the end and I think the difference is telling. The county fair (my day job) was right in the middle of this so I will be sure to advertise that in next year's recruitment. Again thank you for playing.

I would be happy to run another table for y'all to make up for my poor performance. If you are interested please say so here. I will take a short break from GMing, but collect together those interested in a couple of weeks.

If you have any comments that would improve my GMing, thing that really sucked, things that were slightly suck, and things you like & really like are all welcome.

I understand that Shifty is getting a Blood Under Absalom multi-table event going. Check it out :)

Thanks :)
Scott (Curaigh)

Got my chronicle. It looks great.

Thanks for running for us.

Someday I'll see a table abandon those hellknights. I think one of my local players played it at a con and said his table did the air temple instead. That's 1/4 tables I know of including this one. Its nice that the scenario actually contains a choice.

Thanks for running. I had fun.

You're welcome:)

Not everyone has confirmed receiving their chronicle, but it has been a week so I am deactivating this thread. I will leave the chronicles live for a bit, but please let me know if you visit this thread aand need something after then.

For those of you who have said you are interested in another table later, I will be in touch in another week or so.

Adieu, Scott
