[Outpost 2018] #9-04 The Unseen Inclusion (Inactive)

Game Master Paladin of Baha-who?

Here's where we can check in! The game starts March 5th.

Please post the following:

Player Name or Handle:
Character Name:
PFS#:
Faction:
Day Job: (If you want to roll it now, go for it)
Anything unique you think we should know about your character:

Player Name or Handle: Gavin Forbes
Character Name: Mekhu Inebni
PFS#: 25609-2
Faction: Scarab Sages
Day Job: Profession (librarian): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Anything unique you think we should know about your character: Mekhu would describe himself as a field librarian - he's in it for the books, the knowledge, the learning. But he doesn't mind getting his hands dirty if need be. He's as clever as he seems, but stronger and fitter than you might expect from a librarian. He's not great with people, but he can use logic and reasoning to make it seem like he is.

Hi all, looking forward to getting started with my first Scarab Sages scenario, and probably my last before the faction gets hibernated.

Just a heads up that I'm off on holiday at the beginning of next week. I'll normally be posting from GMT, but the wife and I are flying to Mexico on Monday so it may set some of my posting back a little. We're only there for just over a week so things will return to normal after that.

Anything unique you think we should know about your character:

Player/Forum Name: NotEspi
Character Name: Kridash Magath
PFS ID #: 179284-4
Faction: Liberty’s Edge
Day Job Roll (if you have one): None for now

I cast FIST!
With the help of the power of friendship, Kridash smacks people and makes scary faces while doing so. He can open the occasional lock or disable a trap in the party’s way. What does that mean, though?

It means that he would attempt to flank a lot and use his sneak attack dice to put opponents out of commission. He uses fists, knees, headbutts, butt-butts (what?), stomping on toes, etc. The point of this is to deal nonlethal damage whenever possible, to make use of the Enforcer feat and demoralise the target.

Speaking of which, something that might come in handy:

Can deal with traps as well. Got a kit and everything. Yay!

Botting
I have made a convenient spoiler in the profile exactly for this purpose. I’m pretty much online daily, however. In case there is a period of this not being the case, I’ll let you know in advance (if possible).

Fantasy character names, amirite?
Fellow players, when you play a tabletop RPG with friends over an extended period of time, you remember their character names, no problem. But we’ve just met. I do apologise in advance, if I butcher your names. For your convenience, refer to my character as Ash. He lacks the pigment, and it is the ending part of his first name.

Sorry about the delayed info block. Weekend was hectic.

I am so so sorry! I had a death in the family and have not been on my computer this past week. I'm afraid I think I'm going to need to drop this game (if you haven't dropped me already). My life is just a little insane right now. Once again I'm so sorry for affecting everyone's game. I really do apologize.

Sorry for your loss. It's perfectly alright that you have other priorities.

My condolences.

My condolences Jarha!

GM Paladin, thanks for letting me join! I decided to create a new character (which would be my second PFS character) 1st level if that is ok?

Player Name or Handle: noral
Character Name: Andor Katsu
PFS#: # 314670-2
Faction: Scarab Sages
Day Job: None
Anything unique you think we should know about your character:
Andor is a Swashbuckler (Inspired Blade, Noble Fencer) where the most interesting ability is his parry and reposte:

Opportune Parry and Riposte (Ex): At 1st level, when an opponent makes a melee attack against the swashbuckler, she can spend 1 panache point and expend a use of an attack of opportunity to attempt to parry that attack. The swashbuckler makes an attack roll as if she were making an attack of opportunity; for each size category the attacking creature is larger than the swashbuckler, the swashbuckler takes a –2 penalty on this roll. If her result is greater than the attacking creature’s result, the creature’s attack automatically misses. The swashbuckler must declare the use of this ability after the creature’s attack is announced, but before its attack roll is made. Upon performing a successful parry and if she has at least 1 panache point, the swashbuckler can as an immediate action make an attack against the creature whose attack she parried, provided that creature is within her reach. This deed’s cost cannot be reduced by any ability or effect that reduces the number of panache points a deed costs.

Thanks again for being able to join!

Hello guys,

I hope you had a good weekend!

@GM: Thanks for the map! Unfortunately, the link to the map does not work.

Have a great week!

Yeah, Not sure why the goo.gl redirector didn't work. I've used it before for maps. In any case, I've fixed it.

Sorry for the delay. Feeling under the weather today. I'll post tomorrow.

Hello, I will only be able to post again on Monday. Please bot me! :-)

Noted. Not to give away too much, but it'll probably be a while before we're in combat again, so it likely won't delay things.

So, all the investigations and so forth are taking longer than expected with this scenario. The reporting deadline for this event is coming up soon. I'll be doing boon rolls and reporting the scenario before it's done, assuming we don't finish by the 30th, but we'll still go through the end (skipping the optional encounter) if you're all OK with that.

Yes that works for me. I apologize I have been out of town the past three weeks with my mother in hospital so my posts were less consistent than my usual.

Yes, let us skip the optional things please. :-)

I read in the Flexseed discussion thread that we do not need to finish this until end of April but that the game only needs to be reported until that time. This would give us some more time.

Correct. That is what I will be doing.

That's fine by me. As much as I love the investigation stuff, it can take a long time.

Since we're getting close to when I need to report this, let's get the boon rolls going! Everyone roll a d20; 1 and 20 win. If you win, roll a d4 to find out what boon you get.

I guess I need to roll don't I?

1d20 ⇒ 18

1d20 ⇒ 16

For Boon!: 1d20 ⇒ 5

Boon : 1d20 ⇒ 14

1d20 ⇒ 7

RIP

Boon me up Scotty!: 1d20 ⇒ 19

I was away for an extended weekend, and my itnernets over there have failed me (not completely, but it was way too slow to do anything). I do apologise for the delay. Had I known, I would have let you know in advance. Trying to sneak a few posts today, so expect one soon. Again, I do apologise for the delay.

No worries, this scenario involves lots of investigation which seems to me to cause delays when running it in PbP. Or maybe I'm just going slow, I dunno.

I haven't finished mine yet either. Don't worry about it - stuff happens, some games go slower.

You are doing great GM!

A heads up for you folks. I am leaving the country for two weeks, starting in the next few days. I won't be able to make posts (or rather, it is highly unlikely as I can't guarantee any good internet connection from where I'm going). I assume this is the last encounter, so please bot me for the duration.

Thank you! Bot instructions are in Ash's profile.

I'll be having the NPCs delay in the second round of combat to bring them into a single initiative count, so we can avoid these broken up turns.

I'm getting the chronicles prepared since we're on the last combat here. Is there anything anyone wants me to note on their chronicle? This mission probably can be used to fulfill several Faction Journal Goals.

Sorry about the slow posting team, had a poorly toddler all weekend so only just catching up with my games.

GM, do either of the sites qualify as ancient sites abandoned more than 1000 years ago covering greater than 2500 sq ft?

Both of them do, I think. Certainly the second.

Excellent, then that counts towards one of my Faction Journal goals.

Mine too!

The sage jewel may also count depending on what year you're working on.

Not using the faction journals so I'm fine.

Your primary success conditions were to retrieve the onyx sage jewel and defeat the cultists. You achieved these, of course.

Your secondary success conditions were to accomplish at least three of the following:
- Make at least 3 discoveries in the Halls of the Forgotten.
- Make at least 3 discoveries in the Halls of the Forgotten.
- Provide aid to Obahar after he is attacked.
- Kill or capture Veshtaz
- Secure at least three clues during the investigation portion.

You achieved all of those, actually, so you definitely get the second Prestige point as well.

Scarab sages members get the faction boon, which is kinda nifty. Those who made a DC 20 knowledge and diplomacy check in regards to Veshtaz gain the service of the doru as well.

I'll have the chronicles ready shortly.
