Scions of the Sky Key - Maps and Handouts


1 to 50 of 70 << first < prev | 1 | 2 | next > last >>

Initial Gameplay post is up, we'll try and get through the exposition between now and the 13th to maximize actual playtime. Feel free to Rp, ask any questions you may have, or make some knowledge rolls to see what you know.

We do have one player who may have limited access to the internet for the first couple days of the event but it shouldn't pose a problem.


Fixed the google presentation so you should all be able to access and edit now, sorry!

Nali, I have an almost identical character (although mine is level 2)! What was your thought process behind the wood mystery?

Just a gentle reminder, head to the google presentation link and fill out the relevant info for your characters please before the 13th rolls around!

Shouldn't be an issue regarding Justin.

Going a bit further back in the thought process because it all ties together.

Well, As soon as I read Blood of the Beast, I was enamored with the revener hunter archetype, and when it was allowed for PFS without being a catfolk, I decided to make one. So I thought about what type of character I could make that had ties into the Mwangi. I had just recently played Dead Man's Debt, so my eventual process went to the Ekujae. The main NPC that the party interacts with is a Half-elf, so I took that approach. With that groundwork in play, the Wood mystery was the one that I felt best worked (Though I did debate lunar (For a pet) for a long time.)

Nice! I chose Time for mine because I'm a sucker for teleport and initiative related abilities. Similarly, mine is from the Mwangi as well, although and Aasimar from Kibwe. I drew some elements from Aloy in Horizon Zero Dawn as well, replacing her machine wrecking focus with demons :) Looking forward to seeing what your build can do! :D

Okay, as the mention of 'Unforgiving' heat has come up, Nali has a GM sheet on her for Dead Man's Debt, which would give her endure elements for heat up to 110 degree F, as well as whenever she has a scenario in Mwangi, Sargava, or the Shackles, she gets a care package of a vial of Antiplague, a healing potion (Cure Light Wounds at this level) and a single piece of +1 animal bane ammo of her choice(For her, It's an arrow).

If you'll give me a bit, I'll try to get a copy of the chronicle sheet scanned as proof.

EDIT: It's attached to my profile now

I'm going to spend the gold on a hot weather outfit and hope that is enough :D

So what exactly are our options here? Take the long way and roll survival or take the short way and deal with some sort of heat related check?

That would be good to know, yes.

Xiao is always hurrying but the GM also presented us with the time of the day. Are we under time pressure?


As of yet you are not aware of any time pressure other than concern over Sharrowsmith.

To Pelagos' question, yes if you go during the day without protection of some kind from the heat there would be fortitude saves to avoid heat exhaustion (non-lethal damage and fatigued condition).

Nali I see your sheet, good to go there. The endure elements will be sufficient to protect you in this area which you would know in character.

Sorry I'm long getting to these, just getting back to work after vacation for my wedding and then a funeral last week, just trying to maintain my one a day in gameplay but should calm down now and I'm going to try for two a day myself to move us along :)

Xiao, sorry I double checked on your character sheet and didn't see it there so I assumed that was Xiao explaining how easy it would be, not you saying you'd actually done it.

You are correct, that does make the 1st and last a success so you're totally fine after the small dose of healing. RetCon!

No clw wand charge spent then, alas I can't go back and edit the story text or I would.

Very sorry GM that I did not immediately include the hot weather outfit on my character sheet!

Thanks for the retcon!

I aim to entertain, at the end of the day we're all here for fun and if we'd been sitting at a table you'd have said "woah woah woah back the truck up I bought fancy clothes!"

Dunno if this is the right place for this, but I have a couple questions about the map. Is the campfire considered difficult terrain? And can a person fit in those partial squares between the enemies and the tent or cart thing? Just trying to figure out what kind of room we have available.

I am actually not starting a new game with Xiao. Just worried about bandwidth with new games starting Oct 1.

What about the other players?

i was hoping to start a new one with Felixe as well. The GM in the other game said he'd probably start a bit late because of all of the board issues earlier. But I can always go with another character if this one is still going.

Yeah I'd hoped to be concluded before the 1st but the board downtime was a huge wrench. I'm going to try and step up to two posts a day myself this week! It's just been crazy at work and this weekend didn't help but such is life and it's all good now hahaha.

Agreed. It is just a game and games should only be played if they are fun. The real world produces enough stress as it is. This is an escape from that stress. Having it produce stress is kinda silly :P

Stay safe and take care of what matters. We'll still be here once real life settles down.


Hahah thanks for understanding! Things are settled, just had to help a brother with a house related issue in another province.

I need the PBP for sanity hahaha keeps me level when reality gets crazy.
