Use this thread for out of character discussions and off topic conversations. This way, we can keep the Gameplay tab in character, and reading like a story.

I will make a basic action for you if you are silent more than 24 hours during combat or an important skill challenge.

If you make a BotMe! Spoiler in your profile, that will tell me what to do. Otherwise, I will attempt to choose an action which fits with your posting history so far.

*BeepBoop*

Well hello all

Hey, hey!

Hi everyone!

Hello!

*nickers*

By the way, I highly recommend you download Wayfinder from the app store. It lets you post easily from your phone. It's a life saver for busy days.

I know it's on Android. Not sure about Apples.

It does not appear to be available on iOS.

Nuts. That explains why it is not as popular as I'd expect.

Sorry I've been slow to introduce myself - I've just been feeling depressed and tired.

It only just occurred to me - do we only have five characters dotted in?

It looks like five. That's ok, we don't start until tomorrow.

If all six aren't checked in within 24 hours of start day, we'll look for another.

With that, we're off! Please post in the Gameplay tab within the next 48 hours.

By the way, has anyone played this before? It's an evergreen, and some items change depending on whether it has been played before by "x" number of players.

I have both played and ran this in meatspace multiple times.

Good to know! Feel free to let me know if I screw something up. ;)

I have both played and run this (played online, run face-to-face)

I've contacted our sixth party member. We'll see if he shows in the next 36 hours.

"I belong to Matsukaze as much as she belongs to me. However, I will defer to your judgement in this matter." As a samurai Takega has the Animal Companion Link (Ex) and Ride Mount (Ex) abilities at 1st level. Matsukaze has the Combat Riding trick package (Attack, Come, Defend, Down, Guard, Heel) along with Maneuver(overrun). Heel should allow her to follow into the caves. GM call as to whether you'll permit squeezing in one-square-wide passages.

Yes, anyone with a class activated companion can bring them, as long as you don't ride them while travelling to and from. (Through centaur held lands.)

You can squeeze in one square passages, but it hurts. If your mount does not have the Narrow Frame feat, "You take a –4 penalty on attack rolls and a –4 penalty to AC while squeezing."

Hello everyone.

It looks like i get to join the team for this adventure. Time to take this spiritualist for a test drive.

:)

Sorry if I'm a few posts behind... Husband is in surgery today and probably won't be able to post again til late tonight or tomorrow... Again, sorry for any delay - feel free to bot me to keep the action moving...thanks.

Thanks for letting us know! No worries. Family first.

We probably won't hit combat for a few days, so we shouldn't have to bot you.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Hope everything goes well with the surgery!

Ewok, I'll mention it again when we get closer to the date - but our local lodge has a convention coming up in three weeks (Midwest Game Fest on 11/2 through 11/5). Both Brundie/Emmjay and I are GMing multiple tables over the weekend, so posting could be light.

Thanks for the heads up! We're moving quickly, so some light periods shouldn't be a problem.

Not sure why but the site isn't letting me update my profile - when I hit 'save changes' it dumps be back to the paizo.com homepage.

Takega, the site has been spotty for me as well. I think it's all the traffic from the Humble Bundle.

Brundie, doesn't your spell cause an Attack of Opportunity? Did you mean to move?

Hanzo, good eye on the second slam. That was a copy paste issue, but it looks like I didn't count the second attack's damage so no harm done. Also, I missed your DR. I'll fix that in my next post.

There's kinda no place to do a 5' step, and then able to attack, without provoking at least 1 AOO. Better to stand ground and pray than anything, no?

Better to stand ground and pray than anything, no?

Now you're truly ready to be a Pathfinder!

That's a totally valid decision, I just wanted to double check.

Ystrizz, if you're looking for something to do with your turn, I believe you still have the backpack of goodies.

Janira's Bag: potion of barkskin, potions of cure light wounds (2), potion of feather step, potion of vanish, scroll of entangle, scroll of gust of wind, scroll of identify, scroll of mage armor (CL 6), scroll of obscuring mist, wand of burning hands (CL 3rd, 4 charges), wand of cure light wounds (CL 3rd, 8 charges), acid, alchemist’s fire (2), holy water, smokestick, tanglefoot bag, thunderstone, antitoxin, sunrods (2)

Reminder to everyone, all consumables you find in an adventure are good to use. Nothing gets crossed off the scenario sheet for using consumables.

Phew, that fight had me scared for a moment. Nice work.

We might finish this scenario two weeks early, we're blowing through it.

Also...

Janira's Bag: potion of barkskin, potions of cure light wounds (2), potion of feather step, potion of vanish, scroll of entangle, scroll of gust of wind, scroll of identify, scroll of mage armor (CL 6), scroll of obscuring mist, wand of burning hands (CL 3rd, 4 charges), wand of cure light wounds (CL 3rd, 8 charges), acid, alchemist’s fire (2), holy water, smokestick, tanglefoot bag, thunderstone, antitoxin, sunrods (2)

Just to keep things moving: do all of your healing, loot gathering/splitting, note taking, etc in the next twelve hours. I'll do a long post tonight to move us forward.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Checking in: Currently we have two votes for the western tunnel, 0 votes for the new tunnel.

Also, who picked up the items? If nobody says anything I'll assume they're in Janira's backpack.

I'll move the story forward in about an hour and a half.

Takega, I didn't place her on the map because I wasn't sure if you would want to bring her. If you do, copy her token over and place her where you would like her. You could be riding her while squeezing, you just take up two squares.

-Posted with Wayfinder

OK - right now she's hidden behind mine and Hanzo's icons but she's there.

Everyone has checked in. Do you want to continue down this tunnel? (On the Northeast side of this room there is a gap leading to more tunnel. )

-Posted with Wayfinder

Let's say... theoretically... there was an optional fight with no rewards or prestige. Would you go looking for it?

-Posted with Wayfinder

I'd pass...

Truthfully, it's been over a year since I've played the Confirmation and don't remember it all that well. If there was a fight, or not, I wouldn't be able to tell you one way or the other.......

I'd pass, i guess.

Sounds good. You guys have already passed the success conditions and have taken a route through the cave which avoids it. So I just wanted to make sure nobody wanted me to railroad you into it.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Since you've declared the green area difficult terrain, will Matsukaze need to jump it to be unhindered or can she run through it as a large creature?

The map is on Slide 15. It's a big one, so you may have to scroll/slide up to view your current location at the north end of the map.

-Posted with Wayfinder

If i recall, a large creature was able to get through the water at 1/2 speed.

I just ran this in RL, and wow did the minotaur roll differently this time. Good luck...

Aaaaaaugh, this is intense!

looks like we're almost done here, so:

day job, craft alchemy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

GM - do you want us to roll our own boon rolls, or do you want to roll them for us?

Yes, we'll do a little wrap up then be done! First... I need the following info from everyone.

Player Name
Character Name
PFS #
Faction
Day Job Roll
Standard Advancement or Slow?

Player: Chyrone
Character name: Mitsuki Hinara
PFS #: 119488-16
Faction: Grand lodge
Dayjob Profession: shrinekeeper: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Standard

Player Name Emmjay
Character Name Brundie Hands
PFS # 224344-7
Faction Grand Lodge
Day Job Roll Scribe: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Standard Advancement or Slow? Standard

GM For the Grand Lodge Faction sheet, can you mark on my Campaign sheet for assisting a PFS agent, in this case Kreighton Shaine. Of course, rescuing Janira kinda also counts.....

Thanks!
