A set of three Pathfinder Society Scenarios designed for levels 1-5
The aim is to start part 1 straight away and include parts 2 and 3 in the gameday
This is CORE campaign run
Welcome to my Play-by-Post!
Here's the ctrl+P for all my games: Shamelessly cribbing from Dungeon master S
1. I've been running games since the late 1980s, I've seen a lot of editions. I started playing PFS at about season 2. I'm solid with the PFRPG rules, but everyone makes mistakes. I'll try to be as fair as possible.
2. I'm a Venture-Agent for manchester England. If you're ever in the area, or you need help finding games/conventions in the UK. PM me.
3. I post with reasonable of frequency. That being said, if you guys can post 1/day That would be awesome if it gets slower sometimes I understand. No worries. Real Life Comes First (tm).
4. Feel free to preemptively roll Perception, Disable Device, etc. It makes the game run more efficiently. I ask only that you make sure minis are placed in their actual position in case your choices have consequences (good or bad.)
5. I will take submissions for 24 hours and then hold a lottery
Player Name:
PC Name:
PFS#:
Faction:
Day Job: Feel free to roll now.
Perception and vision/senses:
Initiative:
Notes: Anything I should know; passive abilities, boons that are way out there, etc. If you have abilities that are immediate actions that interrupt an enemy, I'll be as fair as possible, but you can help me out by telling me under what conditions you typically use it.
I will bot characters in combat using conservative tactics maintaining bardic performance or rage is as much as I will expend resources. If a life or death decision is pending for a character I will wait for a post
I will leave recruitment open for 24 hours and then do a lottery submissions Good luck everyone. Lottery will be totally random for first four picks and then favour balance and tier for final 2 slots

My wife and I are interested. We will get back to you before the deadline. I would be bringing a lvl 1 Wizard (this character) and she a lvl 1 Druid "Niza and Albis". It would be her first PbP but she has played pathfinder quite a bit. She should not have any issues keeping up the 1/day posting rate.

I was in a hurry. No excuses. I am usually much better about such things. Maybe next time! Have a great time!

Hope you find another game soon

Gah. I'm a dope. All this was sounding a bit familiar and on reflection, I've already played this trilogy with a different character. I have no stars left for replay, either.
My apologies, but I must withdraw.

I would love to join. Thank you for thinking of me. :)

This effect occurs automatically as soon as it applies. These rounds do not need to be consecutive.

Elven Immunities - Sleep You are immune to magic sleep effects.

Good reminder on the core gear restriction, I did not even think about that..

I'm just looking to get some clarity and maybe plan out what we do as a group. Also, I do very much appreciate the below GM ooc post as otherwise we would just be randomly trying skills until blue in the face.
looking for one character to respond to this with either a knowledge geography or survival check as well as some speech. The praetor is one who acts on evidence not hearsay according to Aya Allahe so please remember that in your response. This little scene is set up to give you three chances to impress the Praetor before the final diplomacy check which may gain bonuses. But how you present the rolls will give some bonuses or penalties to your results
So the question, are we looking for only one person to make the attempt, for everyone to attempt it or for some combination that includes aid another checks?
The followup to that is if it is just one person are we allowed to discuss ooc who should make each check?
I've mainly held off posting anything because I don't want to step on someone else's skills, but if I can aid someone I would do so as much as allowed.
If we aren't allowed to know specifics, no worries. But I figured it can't harm to ask.

Awesome answer in Gameplay thread, thanks!

In a face to face game these kinds of questions can be sorted in five minutes. In Pbp more like two days. This is one reason I have switched to an everybody roll approach. It keeps everyone involved and the game flowing without breaking into ooc discussion. Hope everyone agrees creative solutions is not just for players.

Holy crappoly my dice are rolling hot. I'm afraid averages will balance y'all so don't expect much from me in combat! :D

Kord, you are under no obligation to use your wand on us. I was mentioning it in game to help our cause.
If you do chose to cast it on us, I'll respond appropriately in game! :D

GM Merisial the risen |

You aced the final diplomacy check (i rolled it for you because although i was enjoying the back and forth the final check seemed going over old ground) the result is you get an endure elements potion apiece. The conversation about for Fort Bandu people was a reflection of the previous conversation about being prepared for the hardships of the Fort Bandu area

![]() |

Oooh, very nice!

![]() |

I am sure your wand will come in handy out here Kord. Thank you for the purchase!
I would also like to grab some extra provisions, just basic water and food, in case we end up spending a longer time than we think. I can prepare create water after today, but until then, it doesn't hurt to have any extra. 5gp for 10 days of trail rations and 4 waterskins for 4gp should do it.

![]() |

Kaya will top off her water skin and spend 2g for 4 days of rations if available as well.

![]() |

Kaya will use three charges on her wand as offered. Thanks for channeling Ren!j

As the leafray flies away, Gruk looks to the blade laying at his side.
'Probably would have been more useful in my hands...' he considers.
:-P No AoO from this guy...

FYI: Albis is a white wolf... not a cheetah. :)

So sorry wolf and cheetah stat blocks look so similar

Sorry going to pause this game until monday when i hope to begin the next encounter. (Trying to help organise a starfinder launch at my local FLGS)

FYI, I'm currently in the process of moving to a new house.
I've currently been able to keep up with posting for the most part, but there's always the possibility that this could slip; please bot me if needed. Specifically, my internet service is being transferred tomorrow (Sat 19 Aug). This is the riskiest part of my move as regards these PbP games; if I disappear tomorrow, know that I'll be trying desperately hard to get things back in order so that I can play again ASAP. (Hopefully, everything is seamless and you never notice any interruption to my posting.)

Well best wishes in the new place. Always exciting and worrisome at the same time when moving.
At least for this game, it is on hold till Monday, so that gives you one less thing to think about this weekend.
Congratulations on the new place!

GM Merisial the risen |

Great game! Awesome gutsy move there Kord, I approve.
So, heads up to all. My wife (Niza) will be not returning for session 2. She has 2 fall semester classes that just started. She has also been tired due to some recent news that we have learned.
(WE ARE HAVING TWINS!!!)

Quite the enjoyable game all and I look forward to the next one beginning.
Grats to you both!

First, WOW! Congratulations!
And second, I had a great time and I look forward to the second part also. Great team here. Thanks for including me.

Hi all, I'm on vacation, and it's a long one; I don't get back home until late on 11 Sept. I'll never be far from internet, so I intend to keep posting throughout, but it will probably be only once per day, and if I'm not up when I happen to be on, I might miss a post that day. Please don't let me hold up the game if that happens, please bot me.

Chronicle looks great! That levels me to second. Looking forward to the next one.
ditto!
