PFS 1 - 05 - Assault on the Kingdom of the Impossible PbP (Inactive)

Game Master Beckett

Grundle will be 2nd level for that...and first time multiclassing in PF!

For his first play by post game I would not suggest Severing Ties. It's pretty dangerous.

:) Not first PbP. First time I've ever multiclassed in PF...or are you saying that the level 1/level 1 mix would be dangerous to try and play?

Beckett's friend would be playing his first PbP.

I meant Beckett's friend. But even veteran players should write a will before braving Severing Ties.

That bad huh?
I can't find a chronicle for that, so I guess I can't brag about beating it. I'll mentally prepare for the destruction.
Have you done Gods Market Gamble? My team got TPK'd on that one... twice. Tried to finish it for fun, and neither finished nor had fun. :(

Higher tier is worse than the lower tier, but it is a great challenge. I have played and GMed Severing Ties, so I will let some one who can use the chronicle have my spot :)

@Beckett - I'd be interested in participating, but don't have a character I'd like to run. I'd be interested in running a pregen and pulling down the chronicle sheet for one of my other characters.

HERE is a link to the discussion thread for the new game. I am a little concerned about it too, having played through the worst parts and gotten no credit, but the issue is that he has played through almost all of the older stuff already. But I'll also open the floor to other possibilities.

@Grundle - no worries. I think our exit from here may be quite a party. Kort's not Andoran, but he's got a special CN place in his heart for the oppressed. Although he didn't grow up a slave, he grew up in an orphanage run by Chelaxian 'nuns'.

Grundle's got a special chain for anyone who puts others in chains :) *rubs hands gleefully*

I'm just irked that in the past two fights I haven't gotten to attack anyone at all.
>:(

Me too, a little. I dont think I like ths scenario. At least as a PbP. Its starting to pick up, but I think it kind of plays slow.

They can't all be Mists of Mwangi I guess.
The Blackros Museum is my happy place.

It would actually be nice if they release one or two PbP centric scenarios a season. Maybe as extras.

Severing ties, can be very.... Fast? Good Luck.

OK - statue dillema.

Seaweeds thought to use 'sanctuary' sounds right, but it only gets one person past the golem. What if that one person puts up a curtain around the golem, then all of us tiptoe past very quietly? Worst case, it gives us a wrap of heavy cloth around the golem to slow it down while we give it a blanket party.

If we cover it in a blanket, we could at least light that on fire...
though that might also be dangerous to us.

Most golems are immune to magic like sanctuary.

@Arovandeon - I think I did moderately miserably on a KS:Arcane check, so Kort probably doesn't know an awful lot about golems. Me, the player, does't remember whether it's all golems, or just iron golems that are broadly immune to magic. I'd also have to look and see if sanctuary is mind-affecting or not - my recollection is that it's abjuration, not enchantment. IIRC it didn't used to allow a save, though I think now it allows a will save to ignore the spell.

But I'm not looking 'em up right now, because I can't get to to PSRD while at work, and right now it's good that me, the player, isn't much better informed than Kort, the character... :)

@Danyn - now I have a mental image of a huge, flaming, flailing golem chasing us around. Like mummy on fire in a Scooby Doo cartoon. :)

If we're going to metagame, could I point out that it has three faces? :)

@Kort - Yes, that's kind of what I was thinking. My first thought: fire damage. My second thought: flailing 6-armed fire-monster.
Not sure if fire blanket is a pro or con.

Seaweed, metagaming is what the discussion board is for.

And yes Eve, we see the three faces. :)

Think that means it's got a 'back-of-head' to clonk? or maybe the back of the head is where the off switch is? vulcan neck pinch maybe?

BTW, did I mention that Kort's a bit... off? and definitely manic.

GM, Kort brings up a good point. Sanctuary does fall into a strange area concerning constructs. Arovandeon made a pretty darn good skill check I think, so can he determine the possibility of that spell actually working in this situation?

For everyone else, even if the sanctuary spell can affect the statue, it will likely get a save, which means success is not guaranteed, and will likely set the creature off when the spell is tested against it, and since sanctuary is self only that means Evigail's going to be it's primary target (and seeing that the statue has 6 arms she's probably going to get clobbered).

If we hit it from range, then it has to move to us which will prevent it from full attacking. Then that person can withdraw and head through the arch with the rest of us.

Kanye's reach could be used for trip attacks too, (or maybe someone else.) I dinnae know how good he might be at it. My thought being if we could get it far enough from the door, we could knock it down, trip on all the AoO as it tries to stand and eventually we can all zip by.

I can definitely trip it.

Sadly, you can not try to trip an already tripped creature on an AoO for standing up. The AoO happens before the action that provokes it, so if it is standing up, it is still prone at the time of the AoO.

Ahh right. I knew that :)

Sorry for no posts on my part...kid is still sick. I should have something tomorrow.

Kanye generally defers in social encounters. However if the choice is between buttering up a monk, or convincing one of your dominance we all know which side I will choose.

On the other hand Arovandeon has been our parties face since early in the adventure and so far it has worked well.

Seems like we can use both intimidate and diplomacy. Arovandeon's been good cop. Anyone care to be bad cop?

<edit>DISREGARD!

Let me put it a different way, and sort of put the rolls on hold. You have a certain limited number of attempts. You can use either Diplomacy or Intimidate, each uses 1 attempt, that both come from the same pool. So for example, if you had say 5 attempts, you could do 3 Diplomacy and 2 Intimidate, 5 Intimidate, or whatever combination.

So with that in mind, as a group, please come up with who is going to be making the roll, using either Diplomacy or Intimidate, each time, and who will attempt to Aid. We will go ahead an use the initial Dip/Int roll, as they came out the same, and allow everyone else to attempt to Aid Another. Then once we figure out who is going to make the other checks, we will start from there. Make sense?

Arovandeon for diplomacy?
followed by Kanye for intimidate. (unless someone else would like to? :)

I'm good with that. I can provide assist rolls.

I can assist. Good base bonus though no training.

Sounds good to me.

Hey guys/gals. This scenario is very close to being done, and (with a little extra Faction Mission wrap up), I'm getting started on working on the next one.

First, with the exception of Grundle, will everyone be using the same characters? (Assuming everyone wants to play another, that is)

Secondly, if so, what level ranges will we be looking at, assuming everyone gets 1XP here, (or has another character they want to use).

Tertiary, any suggestions or requests?

Go ahead and spit them out for discussion, and I can at least start getting some of prep done in the next few days I have a small break.

I'd like to continue using Kort, though he'll still be level 1. I hope that doesn't present a tier issue.

It shouldnt.

I'm about to start a job that doesn't leave as much free time as I've had lately, so I'll have to bow out.

I'll be sitting out for a while too. I actually want to bring Seaweed to a table top game for a little bit. :) (I will be running something when Mists finish though :)

dog pile on Seaweed('s game)?

Or maybe... Party at Seaweed's place?

K folks, sorry if I just made big trouble in Little Rakshasa. But I'm betting Grundle (at least) is with me on this.

Seaweed, did you want to play another character or sit out completely?

Probably sit out completely, unless I decide to start a 4th character. My GM Blob is where I want to play him (Dragon Disciple). Galdur, is my primary character & I want to finish the arc he just started.

Knowing me I will find a reason to join again soon enough :)

Hey guys, if I may I would like to hijack your attention for a moment:

Cutting Silver Pass is available for review & purchase. If you do purchase please vote for me and help me get a game-design contract.

Tis a little cheaper on Adventure a Week's page (also where the voting happens), but any review will draw more people to it and hopefully garner me more votes!

Thanks!

Sorry for the double post for some of you, just trying to get as much visibility as possible. (oh yeah Like it on FB if you do that sort of thing :)
