Hi, all. Thanks for running the special for us, GM Crucible. Here's Iff checking in with my warpriest.

Hi, I'll be your punchy monk for the trip.

@Iff: It is always up to you as to which character you bring to a table. If you think a different character is a better fit, that's fine, but again it's up to you.

The GM for my last scenario had a question about my AC, so I just want to get it covered before combat starts. Standard AC is 15 (+2 Dex +2 Wis +1 dodge) with the Dodge feat. Using Crane Style and fighting defensively makes it 18 (+2 Dex +2 Wis +2 dodge +2 mis), but nine-section whips have the blocking property, giving me a +1 shield bonus for fighting defensively, making the grand total 19 (+2 Dex +2 Wis +1 shield +2 dodge +2 misc).

Also, the Unchained Monk's Flurry of Blows is different. I simply get an extra attack at full BAB as long as I use only monk weapons or unarmed strikes for it. And I get d10 Hit Dice, full BAB progression and profiency in all monk weapons for free. That should cover everything that might seem weird, I think.

With Mr. (Mrs.?) Closet, that makes six. "Daniel" was signed up for this table, but hasn't responded to PMs this week. If he shows, that'll be seven, which is fine as I don't want to leave one person out in the cold on a Gameday.

GM, I didn't mean to be snippy or rude with the friendly fire comment. I just have a friend who does friendly fire house rules for archers and it often turns into a farce. I hear a GM ask if the archer has Precise Shot and get a bit worried :\


Trouble in Tamran | Sky Key Solution | Between the Lines

Not a problem. I was kind of wondering where you were going with it.

Just a reminder that it's -4 to make a ranged attack against an enemy engaged in melee combat, unless you have Precise Shot (which would be unusual before level 3).

In addition, depending on your angle, your friends may provide soft cover to enemies as well, which provides either +2 or +4 AC cover bonus to the enemies. Together, these are a potential -8 equivalent for firing in to melee against an enemy with soft cover.

These are standard Pathfinder and PFS rules, but I don't always see them applied, especially at low levels. I ask players to include the effects of Precise Shot in their rolls if they know they're firing in to melee. (Sometimes, like this last combat, you won't know, as the enemy charged after you specified an action. That's fine, and knowing who has Precise Shot helps me adjudicate.) I'll take care of cover, but if you think it might change between your action and when I look at the map, feel free to mention it OOC in your post.

Amba does not have Precise Shot. I'll usually avoid shooting at any engaged targets, switching to melee in that case.

Yeah, shooting into melee is harsh enough. No need to add more penalties to it.

I'm not sure if Xukong is a "peacenik," what with its obsession with swords and strange views on life, but certainly civilized.

So, does this place count as being abandoned at least 1,000 years ago? Technically the serpentfolk city is 10,000 years old, right?


Trouble in Tamran | Sky Key Solution | Between the Lines

Hm.. I'll have to think on it, but probably not. It certainly isn't abandoned now, and we thus far have no evidence that it was abandoned at all. (What did happen to it?)

I was asking because of the Scarab Sage goal of exploring ancient sites. I don't think it literally means abandoned, just not inhabited by the original owners recently. And what's better for exploring ancient sites tham time-travelling?

Yeah, I know it's for the SS's FJC. As I said, I'll think on it, and do a bit more research about the site.

GM Mars's updates make me feel slow. I hope we're keeping up with the other tables.

The pace seems slow to me too...

We're fine, but I'll step it up.

There's some groups that have a posting rate you just can't keep up with. (At least, I can't). It's probably different between PbP and a live multi-table special, where the pace between tables is a lot more equal.

I'm happy with the pace myself, it's not a race.
>_>

Is it?

It's what, the second week and we're on the third encounter? Seems good to me. And I suppose the higher tiers did fly up to the top, didn't they?

I wouldn't say we're slow. The usual template is some 7 encounters per scenario, so we have time.

Not sure about the calculations for progress work in between tables, but combat tends to end in 1-2 turns in higher levels. If a few of those tables do 1-3 posts per day I wouldn't be surprised if there were table that have already finished.


Trouble in Tamran | Sky Key Solution | Between the Lines

There are some delay encounters, such that if people finish a section too early they get an extra combat encounter. We've been finishing sections pretty close to the schedule, perhaps a day behind. So slightly slow (my fault for the holiday weekend), but close to expected.

I assume there are no orcs of half-orcs in the cages. I'm asking for purposes of better communication. Perhaps orc language did not change much. If the serpentfolk made raids into the darklands, some might be around, so I thought I'd ask.


Trouble in Tamran | Sky Key Solution | Between the Lines

No, only humans. Bedraggled, scruffy, malnourished humans. Half-orcs wouldn't stand for that sort of treatment.

Another table has passed us an aid token!

When it's used (and anyone at the table can use it), it's passed to another table, so don't hoard it!

Aid tokens:

Aid tokens do ONE of the following (your choice):
[ooc](Bonuses are higher for higher subtiers, but that doesn't affect this table.)

* Aid Another: A Pathfinder agent helps you solve a puzzle, disable a trap, or accomplish some other task as if performing the aid another action (i.e., you get +2)

* Allied Offensive: A Pathfinder agent strikes a creature at the same time as the PC, increasing the damage dealt by one attack by 1d8 points. In addition, after the attack, anyone attacking the target is considered to be flanking it until the beginning of the attacker’s next turn.

* Burst of Healing: A Pathfinder agent heals all of the PCs of 1d6 points of damage. Alternatively, in any subtier the agent can instead cast neutralize poison, remove curse, or remove disease with a caster level equal to the table’s APL (minimum 5).

* Spellcasting Synergy: A Pathfinder agent casts a spell at the same time as the PC, increasing the save DC and caster level of the PC’s spell by 1.

* Timely Inspiration: A Pathfinder agent provides the efiects of a bard’s inspire courage bardic performance for 3 rounds. The competence bonus is +1.
