[Outpost] GM Bearington's Echoes of the Overwatched (Inactive)

Game Master Gummy Bear

Atronia tags along. On their way to the Arcanimarium, she asks, "Does anyone have good ideas as to what we might tell him to convince him to speak if he is... reticent? I'm used to dealing with such situations, but always happy to listen to other people's suggestions."

I'm not much a sweet talker myself. People are sometimes ill at ease when I'm around, maybe that could work for us...

Familiar with Absalom as Pathfinders, finding the most prestigious arcane academy in the Inner Sea region is a trivial task: simply head to the Wise Quarter. Unfortunately, the complex and winding streets of the expansive Arcanamirium prove to be more difficult.

In an incredible show of teamwork, the group handedly manages to canvas the swarm of students, faculty, and laborers flowing all around them, extracting the location of the journeyman mage. Without losing much time, you manage to weave through the throngs of people and dizzying twists and turns, arriving at a modestly sized arcane laboratory.

From the doorway, you can see that the, the facility is well equipped with a variety of equipment from mundane beakers, flasks, and measuring devices, to obscure arcane instruments whose purpose you can only guess at. Unlike the other laboratories you have passed, this one is dense with student activity and a palpable level of tension.

Seated in the center of the room on a slightly raised platform is a middle-aged human male. He casually smokes a long pipe and reads a heavy tome, while lounging in what appears to be an impossibly cushioned chair.

Occasionally he pokes his head over the cover and the source of the tension becomes obvious. "YOU THERE! WILFRED! IF YOU SO MUCH AS STUMBLE WITH THAT AETHERMOMETER AGAIN, I WILL REVOKE YOUR WAIVER!" he shouts, while pointing to a nearby student who clearly fell while cradling the fragile device in his arms. "FLUFFING!" he screams a couple of moments later. A trio of students who have been frantically working away at transcribing complex arcane formulas rush to their master, systematically raising each leg and head individually while the cushions are fluffed.

Arrius puts his fingers on his temples as he intently takes in the scene. Without looking at the others, he whispers to them. "Indisputably, he whom we seek rests upon the divan of imprisoned wind. Aye, 'prickly' one of you foretold, as prickly as the stingers of the venomous Irukandji towards that which causes it irritation. A careful approach we must take, yet forthright, forceful, and with the promise of immediate mutual benefit. This, I surmise." Arrius then gently places his fingers on the temples of the party's spokesperson.

Arrius casts telempathic projection, giving the spokesperson a +5 insight bonus on their next Bluff, Diplomacy, Intimidate, Perform, or Sense Motive check against Maren.

*peeks at character profiles* Huh...guess that'd be me!
________

Callah raises an eyebrow as they consider Maren Fuln and turns to whisper to her companions, "Ah...is this normal among your academics and scholars?"

She considers possible approaches for a moment and then, clearing her throat, raises her hand and knocks against the open door frame.

"Excuse me, Master Fuln?" she begins, deliberately choosing to address him as above his actual rank - hoping that the flattery wouldn't be missed by someone literally sitting upon fluffed cushions. "Apologies for interrupting your work - I can see that you're a very busy man. However, I do believe that perhaps we can make the interruption worth your while. You see, my name is Callah and my companions and I represent the Pathfinder Society. We have a conundrum on our hands which we suspect you might find of interest...if you're willing to hear us out?"

Diplomacy (Telempathic Projection): 1d20 + 6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 5 = 17

Etienne looks around the laboratory to search for things worth noticing, perhaps to get a clearer picture of what sort of research is going on and what kinds of bargaining Fuln might be interested in if it comes to that.

Atronia bows with a flourish when Callah presents the group. Picking up on Callah's attempt at flattery, she adds, "Yes, quite a mystery indeed. One worthy of the greatest minds, and one we've been told only you could shed some light upon."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

Using Perform(oratory) for my diplomacy, as my class allows me to, but since Callah did quite well already, I'll simply use it to aid her.

Maren's chest visibly swells as he practically purrs in response to the duo's words. "Astute observation, I am quite busy. My research is of utmost importance, however I have chosen to be gracious enough to lend an ear. Just for a moment, mind, there is much to do," he responds, chin held high and looking at you both down his nose. "Fret not, your conundrum may be debilitatingly complex for your minds, yet mine is sharp as a tack, quick as a hare. It shall be nothing for me to solve. Tell me now, what is it you want?"

While he keeps a keen eye on Etienne, he says nothing of his intrusion.

Etienne remains as unobstrusive as possible, saving his questions until the main business has been conducted.

Worried about causing an upset right in the middle of the Arcanimarium, Atronia tries to find a way to phrase it so that it will not raise alarm, but still make it seem interesting and worthwhile for Maren Fuln. "We were doing some research into the history of Absalom, and have reason to think the influences of Ralzeros the Overwatched is still... present, in a way. Yet it had been so long. Tell me, Master Fuln, how would one of his caliber manage to old sway over the city for so long? And if he did, why? What was most valuable to him?" She casts a quick glance towards Callah, then to the others, seeking their approval or help, not wanting to miss anything important.

Thinking back to what she'd been told Nigel had shared about 'Anumet's' strange mumbling on his way out of the museum, Callah coughs and adds, "I bet it was through showy display - at least partly. Wizards are fond of such things, yes? Maybe a demonstration of his power?"

Imperious as ever, Maren pauses for what feels like a practiced amount of time before responding. "It is no surprise that his influence still holds sway in our realm. Absalom legend tells that Ralzeros the Overwatched was an astrologer who used the Blakros Museum as a mighty stronghold. He watched the stars with his weird machines, and some say he was able to communicate with the otherworldly beings of the Dark Tapestry, the black spaces between the stars. A significant, if unorthodox, source of power and likely the home to his most valuable possessions," he explains, pausing again while looking at you. Sighing a little at your lack of awe, he shoots a glare with the force of a Bulette at a nearby apprentice. The poor lout recoils, immediately drops what he is doing and applauds briefly, "Master Fulhn, you are so knowledgeable bravo! Bravo!" He quickly scoops up his belongings and resumes working.

Pleased with himself again, he continues. “However any wizard of great talent and success will have opponents. Ralzeros’s rival was a prominent mage named Beldrin. After a significant feud between the two, Ralzeros disappeared. It is thought that this feud arose when Ralzeros accused Beldrin of stealing a key to one of Ralzeros’s many chambers, which contained the wondrous magical tools he used to watch and be watched by the stars. If Beldrin did steal a key to Ralzeros’s magical chamber, he most likely hid it in one of his three towers, which once stood on a promontory near what is now the Precipice Quarter. Only one tower remains standing—the Tower of the Broken Shield, commonly called Beldrin’s Tower. The Tower of the Candelabra has sunk deep beneath the water. The Tower of the Horn fell to the base of the bluff; it remains half-flooded at all times and is only accessible during an extremely low tide. He most likely hid it in the Tower of the Horn, which is said to have held the keys to many of the chambers in his other spires. If I had the time to learn more on the subject, that is where I would head. Finding the key to unlocking the secrets of Ralzeros' very own tower and possibly the source of his power would be a marvelous find, indeed!” he concludes, looking expectantly at you gauging your reaction and clearly expecting to have impressed. He is perched precariously on the edge of his seat, clutching a cushion in anticipation.

Atronia misses the first attempt of Master Fulhn to get praise, but she does pick up on the second, very obvious, cue. She claps only once, but grants him a deep and extravagant bow. "Magnificent, Master Fulhn. So generous of you, too. You have answered all our questions and more. None could have helped us better. But now, you are a busy man, and we should leave you to your other duties. Many pupils are hoping to receive your enlightenment, I'm sure."

She turns around, making sure nobody else wanted to speak to him, and ready to usher the small group out.

"Impressive and voluminous is your knowledge Master Fuln! While we don't have the time now, perhaps I could return to discuss the science of time manipulation and peering into the past, present and future? With that, Etienne gives a deep bow, and turns to leave with the group.

Erhun listen with attention. Knowledge is always welcome. The man was surely a boasting buffoon, but he has been willingly helpful, and there was no point in hurting his feelings. Maybe they could need him again another time...

Thank you for your time and your precious assistance, Master Fuln. Your students are lucky.

"As my friends have said, thank you very much for sharing your time and your knowledge with us," Callah replies, bowing as well. "If it weren't for those who seek to preserve knowledge, whether by the written word such as yourself or through oral tradition, this world would surely be a much darker place."

Hmm...three locations, but only two that are in any way accessible by the likes of us. This is going to get even more interesting and fast.

"Very good, carry on now with your day, the lot of you! Should you miraculously be met with success, you would do well to remember Maren Fulhn!" he calls out before returning to his microdictatorship.

Back outside, you are able to quickly find a small space for you all to regroup.
________
Off to the three towers (which are effectively one location), or somewhere else?

"To Beldrin's Bluff, by the old Tri-Towers Yard, it seems. that ghoul will be stymied yet, and who knows what wonders lurk in an old wizard's tower?"

"It seems that the towers are our best lead now," Callah agrees. "We could still stop by the Forae Logos for additional insight - which might not be a bad idea in and of itself - but we also have no idea how much time we have or what this creature intends," she continues with a worried frown.

"Fascinating were the answers provided by yonder arcanist. Yet they place me alongside the miser wanting gold: the more I get, the more I desire. Mysterious still are the motivations and machinations of the being who has appropriate poor Anumet's frame. Nonetheless, as my kin in ancestry and nationhood has implied, the essence of our success in this quest may lie in haste. To the towers must we venture forthwith, leaving other fields of inquiry to lie fallow for the nonce."

Let's put the ghoul out of its misery first.

Making your way to the Precipice Quarter, the sun has only just begun its descent towards the horizon. Passing through Eastgate with the sun at your backs, you easily find the cliff that gives this Absalomian district its name.

Churning waves break against jagged rocks where the Precipice Quarter meets the sea, a chaotic maze of stone and coral with neither level ground nor shelter from the ocean’s destructive power. In the midst of this chaos lies the fallen Tower of the Horn jutting out of the shallow surf, its smooth, ivory surface now adorned with seaweed, coral, and barnacles.

Fortunately, the tide has begun receding and a jagged breach in the wall can be seen near the intersection of worked stone, sand, and ocean water.
________
Climbing down the cliff is DC 15, it is 20ft down in this area. Thanks to the tide, you'll be standing on sand when you get down, but moving towards the towers quickly turns this into deeper water (3-4ft at most). Obviously if you are moving past the tower, this will rapidly escalate.

Atronia looks around to see if there is anything she could tie the rope to to help them climb down.

Atronia handily finds several points for either a grappling hook or to simply tie off a rope to ease the burden of climbing down.
If you utilize a rope, the DC becomes 5, nice work!

Atronia ties up the rope and turns to the group. "This should help. Let's go and see what's in that tower." She then climbs down the cliff, using the rope to steady herself.

Take 10 on the climb check.

Arrius climbs down the rope to the beach, looking quite at ease among the surf and sand. He peers out over the waves and says to Atronia, "Even in the midst of our urgent errand, helpless I find myself but to reflect: all our mortal strivings are as permanent as footprints in the sand. And yet the sea endures, immutable and eternal. Some sages speculate life arose in its depths. Are we not then unified as a oneness in its currents?"

Also taking 10 on the climb check. Once the others arrive, Arrius will swim around the outer perimeters of the towers and report back if he sees anything interesting (he has a swim speed and is amphibious, but will stay well clear of anything dangerous-looking)

Etienne follows the others down the rope, albeit at a somewhat slow pace. His faces blanches a bit at the thought of getting wet.

Take 10 as well and will burn a charge from wand of mage armor beforehand

Once the rope is secured, Callah makes her way down behind Atronia and Arrius and Etienne; even though she takes it slow and steady it's not an easy task with all the gear she's carrying. She finally reaches the sand at the bottom, huffing and puffing from the exertion.

"If that's so...then...moving through the water should be a...breeze for everyone..." she huffs in reply to Arrius.

But I doubt we'll be that lucky.

Callah looks around at the others. "Hopefully we'll only be needing to wade through the water but if it gets deeper, do any of you need help staying afloat?"

I've never tried to swim. This new armor is strong, but quite light. I hope not to sink totally.Not as long as an undead waits to be put to rest.

"Ah...not that I object, but you certainly seem to have quite the vendetta against the undead," Callah remarks, giving Erhun a sidelong glance. "Is there a story there?"

"The idea of a common origin is very nice. Yet most of us ran from the sea. Sadly I've come to learn that people don't look past a few generations. Even those who take pride in their ancestry use it only to see a certain lineage and to divide themselves from others, ignoring anything that doesn't suit their views."

Once everyone has climbed down and is contemplating the water, Atronia points to the breach in the tower wall. "I don't relish swimming either. Fortunately, I don't think we will need it to get in."

Arrius' quick loop confirms the lack of creatures in the area around the tower and from his unique vantage point, he can see that much of the tower lies below the waterline.

The group forms up on the entrance, noticing that the water en route does impede their movement, but does not require them to begin swimming. Peering through the breach, the sunlight trickles in a little, but not enough to see more than a few feet into the tower...
________
Nice thought Arrius, wouldn't have thought of that! Map slide is up! You may all begin moving into the tower into your opening formation and I will provide box text in the morning!

Callah peers into the breach, her eyes able to pierce the darkness better than those of her human companions. She glances over her shoulder at the others. "Does anyone happen to have some light magic at their disposal? If not, we'll need to carry some torches so that everyone can see."

Dead should stay dead. That's what I was teached in the temple of Anubis where I was raised. And of course, people using magic to animate corpses should be killed.

Half of this chamber’s floor is covered in seawater, and the tower reeks of brine and the lingering smell of death. Three doorways lead to other chambers in the tower, the wooden doors having long rotted off their hinges. The southernmost portal is almost half-submerged beneath the cold water. A large, circular hole gapes from the ceiling to the north, with a long rope dangling down from the dark chamber above, and another hole opens in the floor directly below it.
________

"Well, I suppose hewing to what you've been taught is reason enough," Callah shrugs as one of the others sheds some light on the subject of the darkness within the tower. "I thought that perhaps you had a more personal reason...but truth be told, I'm glad that you don't."

Once the group starts making their way inside, her eyes are immediately drawn to the rope dangling down from the chamber above. "Seems we are not the first ones to venture inside. We should be cautious."

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Arrius enters the room. He closes his eyes, places his hands flat against one another as if in prayer, and raises one leg so that its knee is parallel to the ground. He reaches out with his mind's eye as his body slowly spins on the pointed toes of his other foot.

He'll cast detect magic and spend a phrenic pool point to add detect thoughts to the spell. Depending on the thickness of the walls and doors, it may or may not penetrate to the adjoining rooms or the next levels. He'll also roll the Knowledge (Engineering) check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

K Engineering: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

Atronia casts Light on her sword again before slipping through the breach. She looks around and immediately points to the rubble, whispering, "That used to be a staircase. For now, I'd say our way down is blocked and up is only that rope... Be wary, someone had to put it there somehow. Still, should we find a way to go up? I wouldn't want to wander around and get attacked from behind."

"Maybe we should explore what we can of this level before we try going up," Callah suggests. "Just to be on the safe side; if there's anything lurking about then I'd rather not have it lurking at my back."

I agree with you.No sense into rushing into the unknown without knowing we can retreat to a safe place if needed.

Anyone testing the rope is reasonably confident that it could hold a single person at a time. Most noticeably for those who struggle with climbing, there isn't a wall to brace on this time.

At the edge of your torchlight are queer shadows, flailing in an erratic dance as the wavering flames wash over the array of coral and barnacles protruding throughout the interior.

Arrius stands very still and whispers to the others. "Past yonder doors stand veritable wolves, waiting for bleating sheep to stumble blindly into gaping jaws. A triad in one, and one in another, united in ravenous hunger for flesh. Rudimentary their minds are, yet cunning still. Prepare thyselves for a battle truly joined."

Arrius will point out that the three are in the middle room and the other is in the room closest to the door. He'll do total defense while moving behind his allies.

Callah immediately tenses, looking at Arrius quizzically. "How do you know that?" she whispers as she carefully draws her longspear. "Can you sense something?"

Arrius looks back at Callah with a raised eyebrow as if he's about to explain something elementary. "All who are--that is to say, all who are not nothing (the converse of which would be a paradox)--resonate with the harmonies of being. Pluckest thou the strings of a harp to make silence? No, sound. This form's third eye envisions our malefactors' mental emanations, as the harpist hears the sweetness of her handiwork. Thus, my conclusion. Resolve our joint future now we must: unwitting prey, or, armed with foreknowledge, irrepressible predator?"

"Ah, I see," Callah replies as it takes her a moment to untangle Arrius' words. "I know that things like magic can be sensed but I've never journeyed with someone that can sense others' thoughts. Must be a blessing and a curse rolled into one..." she murmurs, her own voice trailing off.

Atronia listens intently to Arrius, curious to hear what he has to say, but worried about whatever might be waiting nearby. "It is good that we have you in our group, Arrius. That is an impressive ability. Callah, it seems you were right, we'd better check these rooms before we go up. Is everyone ready?" she says in a fairly low voice.

"Ready here," Callah nods. "And not that I meant to put anyone in the spotlight I suspect it might be best to let Erhun take the lead," she suggests.

Im ready. open that door, I need my hands on my weapon.

The ravages of time having already opened the door for Erhun, he steps forward into the murky water. Despite his towering frame, the water manages to come up quite high here, cresting near his chest. Just the light begins to purge some of the darkness, a stocky, pale green monstrosity with scaled skin and large, webbed hands erupts out of the water and slashes him across the back! It manages to keep a hold of him and a cruel smile crosses its lips, the slotted gills on the side of its neck flaring in triumph. "FRESH MEEEEAAAAT!" it bellows into Erhun's face, splattering fetid sea water and spit upon him.

COMBAT ROUND 1
--------
Erhun (5 damage, Grappled, Cover)
Etienne
Callah
Foe (DC 12 Local, Grappled, Cover)
Atronia
Arrius
BOLD ARE UP!
________

You're in luck Erhun, not a single door to be found on this level! The water squares for this part of the tower are MUCH deeper and function as a DEEP BOG. I will put the highlights in the discussion tab. The water in the other area of the tower (where the rest of the party is) is still just difficult terrain. Erhun, would you add your CMD to your tagline please? Also, you have it listed as 13 but I believe it should be 16.

Furthermore, I looked at the statblocks again and I think I agree. The tier 1-2 and 4-5 creature for this fight are both called "Animated Statues" but the 1-2 is explicitly an Animated Object where as the 4-5 is a Graven Guardian (which I don't think would radiate magic. Could be wrong there too though!). I will remember this for the future.

Thank you for the input! Sorry about that Callah!

No worries! Also I'm out of time and must head to work so please feel free to bot Callah as needed and I'll catch up later this evening :)

I'm headed out of town tomorrow (Sat) for a conference and won't be back until Monday. Uncertain posting schedule during that time, so bot away, please.

Safe travels, Etienne!

And speaking of travel, I'm also off to a work training thing in New York State Sunday the 15th and will be gone through Friday the 20th. I'll have my laptop with me but I have no idea what my posting availability will be - definitely only in the evenings, if that. To be on the safe side, please go ahead and bot Callah as needed and if I have a chance to check in and post during my trip I'll do so. Otherwise, I'll catch up properly when I get home Friday.

Also, what time I do have I'll be giving to my GMed games first so if you happen to see posts from GM Ladile elsewhere but nothing here, that'll be why. Hopefully that'll avoid any 'CALLAH I SEE U POSTIN Y U NO POST FOR ECHOES!?!??' confusion :)

I've really been enjoying this, my first PbP. Thanks GM Bearington et al. Does anyone know of any other PbP conventions or games starting in the near future?

Thanks :D I believe that there are 2 conventions every year and they are heavily advertised in the Flaxseed Lodge. When there aren't any conventions going, there is almost one game per day starting up! Right now though, almost all the typical GM's are running OutPost games, but more will be posted as those games finish up!

Enjoy the travelling, Bristor and Lady Ladile! I hope it's enjoyable and not too tiring. As for conventions, I have nothing to add that GM Bearington hasn't already said.

On the topic of the Flaxseed, have you all dotted into that thread? It is much easier to keep up with it and find games when you have.

Flaxseed Gameplay Thread where you should post to put the Lodge into your campaign tab.

Flaxseed Recruitment Thread where you should post to say you are new to PbP (if you are) and looking for a game. I've seen several GM's specifically look for those new to PbP or PFS into their games to spread the love.

Even if you have no preparatory actions to take, please post either here or in discussion so I know everyone has had a chance to prepare based on the information Erhun and Etienne have provided before climbing up to the next room! I'll give this another couple of hours before moving us up the stairwell.

Arrius is good to go.

A couple of questions before resolving turns:

Erhun/Etienne - I've reviewed as much information as I can on lending rerolls and there isn't an official stance on it, so I am allowing it. What is clear, however, is that each PC gets a single reroll, so if Erhun has their own reroll, they might as well use it themselves.

Callah - Are you opting to bull rush the maximum distance or just 5ft?

We'll go with maximum distance!

I don't have a reroll, and as I failed the two saves, it wont change a thing if I made one out of two, I suppose.
it would be better for you to keep your own reroll,you might need it.

I've consulted a couple of GM's and we came to the conclusion that there is no reason for players/PC's to not know what they are saving against. Erhun, the first save is vs the Disease, the second is vs Paralysis. If you do decide to take Etienne up on his offer, make sure you are clear which one you are rerolling.

EDIT: Not making the disease is a long term problem that could be fixed by spending PP. Not making the paralysis could straight kill you. It is your choice whether you take that reroll or not, but I would recommend taking it. Etienne still has the option to run away.

ok, I took the reroll. Thank you Etienne, hope it will help us!

Nothing official, but I've found this about Saving finale which seems to indicate immediate action takes place before the whatever I failed comes into effect?

http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2qrwi?selfish-Bards-using-Saving-Finale-Gallant

I think the way you've used it sounds great to me! It wouldn't make sense for the spell to function after the effect has taken place (that's what remove paralysis or another fix it spell is for). I understand what some of the other users are arguing about, but, frankly, I think they are just wrong.

Care to use a PFS reroll on your reroll? :)

I don't think I have a pfs reroll. I'll have to deal with the outcome. But thanks nonetheless!

LOOK AT ALL THE REROLLS! THEY'RE FALLING OUT OF THE SKY!

Callah, unfortunately the rolls would have happened before your turn (in response to the ghoul's attacks) and Atronia would be paralyzed. However, Erhun looks shockingly limber by comparison...

Alas, I already used that power on Erhun earlier, so um....hmm...shall I post an alternate action then?

You can change your action if you like, this is something that would have been easier to communicate/resolve at a table. I'm not going to punish you for the limitations of the PbP medium :P

Atronia, do you have any "purely mental actions" to take? If not, I'll still bold you but then it isn't crucial for you to post during the round.

Wow, this is quite a streak of rolls!

I don't. So yeah, you can skip me until I'm back to normal. I'll keep checking in and post if I have ideas like I did just a little earlier. :)

Erhun, you may or may not need that acrobatics roll, but it depends on where you'd like to move your character! Would you move your token on the slideshow please? For your readied action, your current wording doesn't seem to consider if the ghoul doesn't have to move. Depending on where you end up moving your token, you may not even need to ready!

Also, the damage total for the ghoul is 26. That got dropped off part way through editing somehow, sorry about that!

sorry, I started to post yesterday, got caught up in work, and didn't remember to move.

Erhun will shield the others with his own body, disregarding his safety (moved on the map)

If the ghoul doesnt attack.. Erhun will have to wait next round

Since you've slain that ghoul, I can talk about it with y'all! :D

That was a ghoul who had three levels in sorcerer. The DC for the disease/paralysis was 15 (higher than a normal ghoul) and it had 42 HP. Because of CR math, that was only a CR 3 encounter.

Can we assume Atronia's paralysis will fade shortly?

Ghouls are still pretty nasty foes, even if you know what to expect and have a way or two to counteract or adjust for the paralysis :O

Also, apologies for the silence over the last couple of days, haven't felt well.

Yes, within a matter of seconds her paralysis would have dropped.

Hopefully this isn't a surprise to anyone, but Erhun is suffering from ghoul fever. Here is the standard text for it:

Ghoul Fever: Bite—injury; save Fort DC 13; onset 1 day; frequency 1/day; effect 1d3 Con and 1d3 Dex damage; cure 2 consecutive saves. The save DC is Charisma-based.

I have bolded some important parts.

Because the ghoul you fought had an increased charisma, the DC is 15. Erhun has some options, all of which have varying chances for failure.

I’d suggest taking the save route, as that’s (statistically) likely to work. If ability scores get perilously low, than spending resources for curing makes sense.

GM Bearington, thanks for running the game—it was a blast.

Callah is happy to put her nonexistent healing skill to use to help a fellow Pathfinder!

Also, thanks for the game everyone! I enjoyed it and many thanks for allowing me to fill in the missing seat :)

I have a +6 to Heal, so if I can take 10, I can auto aid another each day.

Thanks to all for a great first experience of PbP. I feel like I must have gotten very lucky to end up at this "table" with such a great group and ace GM.

I'm definitely hooked on PbP and hope to be at a table with you in the future!

I'm afraid with my low wisdom and lack of healing skills, I'd risk impairing his recovery somehow...

And indeed, it was very fun. Great GM, great group. Thanks everybody for such a wonderful game, and thanks for putting up with my sporadic posting!

Glad you all had fun! :D

MUWAHAHAHA! I have corrupted yet another for the PbP cult! >:)

With Etienne's +6, he can take 10 each day, allowing Erhun to roll 1d20+10 if he so chooses.

save, Day 1 : 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11
save, Day 2 : 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25
save, Day 3 : 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

Woo! :D While the fever got the best of you during the first day, Etienne's assistance and your own internal zest for life has successfully broken the fever!

You took...
Dex: 1d3 ⇒ 3
Con: 1d3 ⇒ 3 DAYUM!

But then proceeded to sleep for a week and now feel right as rain!

Thanks for bearing with me through that part everyone, just had to make sure good old Erhun here didn't kick the bucket!

I will submit the report and have your chronicle sheets out today!

ROLL FOR YOUR BOONS PEOPLE! ROLL THEM!
1 or 20 wins!

One for me?!: 1d20 ⇒ 6

Boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 16

Maybe next time!

Boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 4

BE FREE! TAKE YOUR CHRONICLE SHEETS AND RUN!

Please let me know if there are any errors.

Callah, for Outpost reporting are we supposed to use the normal reporting system or did they make a special one for this convention (they've done that for other conventions in the past)?

boon roll: 1d20 ⇒ 20

Hey! I’ve had the best luck with both my rolls and this being my first PbP. Thanks everyone.

This should take you to the reporting link for OutPost! :)

Also, chronicle looks good! Thanks again for a fun game :)

Hooray for boons! :D EDIT: If you win a boon *envious glare at Arrius* please either PM me or post your email address in this thread.

Thanks Callah!

Glad y'all had fun! :D

Thanks again

I enjoyed your game, do you have other PFS planned?

I have reported the game!

I do not currently have any games planned right now. I try to always be running a game on PbP, but I'll be starting my master's program in a month and have no idea what sort of time I'll have available. Once I know, I'll definitely be starting up another game though!

That's great GM Bearington. Good luck with the master's, and hang in there! (You're not tired of it yet, but you likely will be at some point, so the message is for when that happens. It has its ups and downs, but it's worth it.)

FYI, this campaign will be marked inactive this weekend. If you have not printed your sheet by then, you can always find this thread in the "inactive campaigns" portion of your campaign tab (it'll show up at the bottom of the page if you don't have any yet).
