PFS 0-13 Prince of Augustana, Table A (Inactive)

Game Master DrGabe

OOC Discussion is open.

Dotting!

Are we low tier or are the two other PC higher than first?

3+3+3+2+?+?= 13/6 = 2.17+1 = 3.17 rounds to 3 if both are 1st level.

Good evening all.
This is a first for me and any layman descriptors or examples of how to use dice rolling, bolding type face or any other game enhancing features are much appreciated.

Thank you,

Take a look at the "How to format your text," spoiler button right under where you select your name for a particular post and where the submit post button is.

That "How to" spoiler should tell you everything you need to do to use the dice roller, bold your text, etc. Maybe one of the most computer savvy can explain more, but the info should be enough for you in that spoiler.

You might want to add more to your alias to help the DM, like spells chosen, etc.

Gabe, can I get the pfs sheet from the last game (stoopid elves) with the pregen applied to applied to my #2 so I can level him up before we start?

Ok transforming from Ianto and character posted. Sorry I am late to the party. I won't spend the gold until I see you next.

@ Fleetwood: Grimdoc’s player put me onto this awesome guide by Doomed Hero as an intro to play-by-posts, when I first started.

I found once I understood the use of say Bold, the use of italics and strike-throughs and out-of contexts came naturally.

Here is [ b]Bold[ /b]

Some people add quotation marks when they’re speaking in character. Some don’t.

[ b] “Welcome, Fleetwood! I’m Eadie!” [ /b] becomes …
“Welcome, Fleetwood! I’m Eadie!”

*Please note: remove the space from in front of the [ b] [ /b]

The other main factor is the dice roller.

Eadie takes a 5’ step to the north and flanks with Grim. She slashes at the goblin with power and fury. She also takes advantage of the Bless spell Fleetwood has recently cast.

[ dice=falchion + flank + bless] 1d20+7+2+1 [ /dice] becomes …
falchion + flank + bless: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 19

[ dice=damage + power attack + furious focus + whetstone] 2d4+4+3+1 [ /dice] becomes …
damage + power attack + furious focus + whetstone: 2d4 + 4 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2, 2) + 4 + 3 + 1 = 12

The other thing that’s cool about the dice roller, is it will do arithmetic without needing a die roll ...

Eadie enters Filosten’s Frothing Alembic and spies a half-elven cleric she’s trying to avoid. She hugs the shadows, as she slinks her way over to where Lore, Grim and Ruprecht are sitting.

[ dice= Take 10 Stealth] 10-3 [ /dice] becomes …
Take 10 Stealth: 10 - 3 = 7

Great advice Eadie! I look forward to reviewing many odd previewed mistakes.
text acrobatics: 1d20 - 5 ⇒ (6) - 5 = 1

I also appreciate the examples with which I can copy and paste from.

Fleetwood, No worries!

Also good to see you're getting some of those low rolls out of the way here. ;)

"Is there a doctor in the house?" :D

Gabe, what sub-tier are we playing and do we get a choice?

I think Ru, Lore and Grim would get out-of-tier gold whether we played up or down?

Help me out here, but as I understand it, we play up to Tier 4-5 and everyone will get out of subtler gold. That sound right?

Lhug- I'll get it you on Friday (but you should remind me!). However, that was a high level scenario and it won't count to this fella (yet).

FWood- that link Eadie posted is very good. I read that too as I started off and found it helpful.

Everyone- essentially you guys are my rock star party. I have complete confidence that everyone here will be cool and gracious with each other. It will be fun. So don't sweat the small stuff. Just be awesome.
Also, this scenario seems short even for a Season 0 outing. Unless I fall asleep at the helm, this won't take that long. :)

Wow, DrGabe. I’m blushing.

You guys are my rock star party.

I’m saying up front, I DON’T want to be the drummer.

I make our APL (3*3 + 2*2 + 1)/6 = 2.33 + 1 for 6 players, rounds to 3.

We have 3 fighters, 2 clerics and a Ruprecht(!) which is a pretty good party for a short Season 0 dungeon crawl.

Fleetwood is Level 1 though. I am cool with 4-5, but what does everyone think?

I'm fine with the party's wishes. I'd think we can get through it, but I'm an optimist, lol. I'm perfectly fine if someone disagrees though.

Grim is fine up or down...as long as there is ale.

Grim is fine up or down...as long as there is ale.

Mmm, ale

I thought under the new rules with a pregen I could take the 500 gold and apply the XP to any character. That's what they told us a gencon.

I'm just happy to be gaming.

DrGabe,

I’ll post my purchases if you like. If we were playing low tier, I wasn’t going to bother with them, but I’ll lock them in now.

Silver Weapon Blanch (2) for 10gp
Oil of Bless Weapon 50gp
Air Crystals 50gp

Ruprecht is going to upgrade his spear to masterwork for 300 gp, and then buy 5 vials of alchemist's fire for 100 gp.

Grim purchases 1 tankard of ale to drink while walking to the sewers. :-)

I second the ale, in fact im carrying a gallon already. Silver a chakram and pick up 2 mire acid flasks.

"Hah, there we go. You are my new best bud! Cheers ."

Ruprecht buys 5 vials of alchemist's fire.

With Ruprecht and Lore along, I might buy some marshmallows and pointy sticks too! ;)

Correction before we start rolling dice for reals... the APL is 2.3 which rounds down to 2.
So, we will be playing down this scenario per the Season 5 rules. Level three people will be getting Out of Tier Gold at its conclusion.

DrGabe, I’ll post my purchases if you like. If we were playing low tier, I wasn’t going to bother with them, but I’ll lock them in now.

Silver Weapon Blanch (2) for 10gp
Oil of Bless Weapon 50gp
Air Crystals 50gp

As we're playing low tier, can I retospectively un-buy my purchases, DrGabe?

There's been a bit of back-and-forth over these, so it's no worries if the answer is No.

I tend to be pretty forgiving, so sure thing Eadie. :)

So the last encounter was a tricky one that you guys avoided fairly easily. There was a gas leak in the sewers- if you used a fire based attack (i.e. Lore's burning hands) there would have been an explosion. Not enough to kill you high level guys, but the low level folks would have been hurt pretty bad.

Lol that would have suuuucked.

Lol that would have suuuucked.

Hard!

Not Cool

sorry traveling for the holidays and stuff... spent the last two days on the road and in the air. will be shopping for property up in washington state for the next two days and posting will be sporadic at best. but I will try. Lore is good with helping the Abadar shrine protect itself against the wyverns and will help however she can.

Where in WA? Beautiful countryside and great snowboarding!

we're in port angeles...

Gorgeous area. Military?

no just looking for a place to retire to - tho it's still a few years off, prices are right now.

Oh, wow. That’s kind of exciting but sounds like a busy time for you too, Lore.

Good luck with it.

Good on ya!

Holy Work issues Batman! Sorry for not posting, but just super busy.
I'll get your defenses all worked up and the map posted and ready to play.

Generally I say that I'll post a bit less with the Holidays coming, but actually I'll probably have more time to post since I'm taking the rest of the week off!

Good for you Dr Gabe!

Wishing an early happy Turkey day and Hanukkah to all.

No worries, DrGabe. Real Life first.

Rest of the week off? Nice. Best wishes to all for turkey day. I have to wait for Australia Day in January. Although another public holiday a month after Christmas is quite good.

You guys should look into a holiday for Australia Day too. Write your congressman or something ;)

That concludes the Prince of Augstanna. If you have further questions about the plot and such ask in the Gameplay section.

+1 Experience and +2 Prestige to everyone!
462 gold each.
Items:
Brooch of shielding (30 points remaining) (Cost: 450 gp)
Filth fever tonic (Cost: 5 gp)
Potion of enlarge person (Cost: 250 gp)
Screaming bolt (Cost: 267 gp)

Not a bad scenario, but it had the issues with the other Season 0 missions I've run- too easy for a competent party.

I am game to run another game if you guys are willing to play. If there are any suggestions shout them out- I prefer Season 4 or 5 missions as well as a Module or something of the like. FYI- I'll likely be pairing down to just one table at a time, since running three is just too much for me right now! :)

I'd love to keep playing... any module or scenario is fine with me as long as I haven't played it before...

Thanks, so much for running, DrGabe. No Day Job for Eadie.

I really enjoyed all the interactions in this group.

I am up for another!

Season 4 or 5 does sound good. A 1-5 we can all play might be tricky though …

I’ve played all the Season 4 1-5’s except Disappeared and Veteran’s Vault and I’m pretty sure Grim has played both of those.

In Season 5, I played Glass River Rescue with a very cool group! ;) I can play Stolen Heir but again I think Grim’s playing/played it.

I’m thinking everyone could play Library of the Lion which comes out on Dec 23.

Thanks Dr Gabe. I'm in for another.
I like the idea of a longer adventure too.

I had a look at Season 3 (1-5) Scenarios as well:

Grim is definitely up for something if we can find one.

Ruprecht is always up for a game!

Craft Alchemy 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

I'm up for it.

I need to get my gold spent and I still need a sheet for that pregen thing.

I will prob remake my ranged paladin for rotrl. I need to start like 2 more.
