(PFS 08-16) GM Dinketry and the House of Harmonious Wisdom (Inactive)

I must have it wrong on the slide, too, will fix it ASAP. My bad - I couldn't get past the graduation cap he's wearing. So 3 damage instead of 5.

So, Mistress Feng just helped us?

I think that's right. "Jiang Feng" helped us by attacking "Yue Xin." "Zheng" is down, while "Jianghong" has run away. L'Mont and Luwei are unconscious and missing all the fun, but hope to wake up in time for the big reveal.

As you may have guessed, Yue Xin was the caster, Jiang Fei was the martial artist, and Zheng, the bodyguard, was the armoured fellow. Jianghong ran away from the encounter - he had no intent to involve himself in the melee.

For completion's sake (and player knowledge), Jiang Fei was not 100% innocent in this melee. It was a free-for-all melee, and Yue Xin simply seemed to be the most dangerous and closest adversary that Jiang Fei could find. Your characters can assume that Jiang Fei was "on your side", but, well.....nah.

It's the end of this series! Thank you all so much for being the best first PbP group that a GM could hope for. I screwed up multiple times, failed to label things, failed to give you clear text....um, we had a good time.

Anyhow, I need information from some of you, so I might as well ask it of all of you. Could you please post to this Discussions thread the following (formatted for your ease):

Player Name:
Character Name:
Pathfinder Society ID# (including character suffix):XXXXXX-XX
Faction for your Character:
Slow or Normal Advancement (though it doesn't matter for this scenario): S or N
Day Job check:
Email address:

And finally, if you'd like to make an attempt at a Faction Goal, hit me up with a proposition. Some of them should be pretty straight-forward, I think. I'll endeavour to get Chronicles emailed out to people by this weekend.

I had fun; I hope y'all did, too. I'd love any further feedback that you might have so that I might make my GMing tighter.

See you out there on the boards!

Faction card goals achieved: Adventure in a nation other than Absalom, and "Participate in an adventure that directly assists an NPC Pathfinder agent or agent of an allied organization, such as by mounting a rescue, recovering an important object, or defending that group’s resources and reputation."

Faction goals: Same as L'Mont & Bolty - Adventure in a nation other than Absalom, and "Participate in an adventure that directly assists an NPC Pathfinder agent or agent of an allied organization, such as by mounting a rescue, recovering an important object, or defending that group’s resources and reputation."

Thanks, that was fun.

Thanks, y'all! I'm sending out chronicles now.

Just FYI: You can only claim one Faction goal per Scenario.

I include in my scenarios IRL a "Personal PC moment" - a reminder of something momentous, interesting, life-threatening, or otherwise that might stick with your PC in the future. It has no game mechanic or bearing, really. Just flavour.

Enjoy!

All the Nat 20s,
GM Dink

Double FYI: Grand Lodge faction cards have a goal involving visiting many different countries during their adventures, which has a clause stating that it does not count as a PCs one checkmark per adventure. ;)

Thanks again for running, and while I don't have specific feedback, I recommend joining a few other PbPs to see different styles and best practices. And don't over extend yourself!

Thanks!

Adventure in a nation other than Absalom. You may only receive credit for visiting a particular nation once.

Checking one of this goal’s boxes does not prevent you from checking one box for a different goal.

Oops! Then it shall be so.

(Skimming the fine print doesn't work so well, eh?)

Ushi, Mongo, and L'Mont should have their chronicles emailed to them at this point. I hope to have the rest done soon!

That was fun everyone. Thanks for your patience as I learned how PbP works.

Thank you very much Dinketry for GMing.

<3

Thanks for the game GM Dinketry and all! It was a blast.

I got more than enough gnomish moments to last... until the next time i play Glastor!

Luwei, in looking at your Faction Goal, an ancient site is defined as one abandoned for 1000 years. Imperial Lung Wa collapsed in 7106, and the current year is 7217 (per the Dragon Empires calendar), so the Summer Palace wouldn't count as an ancient site.

Got another Faction Goal that you'd prefer to try?
