[PFS] #7-10: The Consortium Compact, Table A (Inactive)

Game Master Mike Kimmel

Welcome! This is the discussion thread for my evergreen PFS scenario, #7-10: The Consortium Compact (Table A). Recruitment for this game is closed. Currently confirmed players are Escharid, GM Evil, Valjoen_KC, Michael Hallet, Faelyn, and Paladin of Baha-who?.

Please post here by Friday at 2:00pm to check in and let everyone know which character you plan to play. Perhaps take this time to discuss your experience with play-by-post games, or this scenario in particular (without spoiling it). Also, make sure your stats are fully loaded into your alias profile as soon as possible. I hope to start gameplay when everyone is ready, and by Monday at the latest.

Once you have determined which character you'll use, post here or PM me with the following information:

Player Name:
PFS & Character Number:
PC Name:
Class and level:
Current XP:
Current PP:
Current Fame:
Day Job Skill and Roll: (if any)
Pre-Scenario Purchases: (list items and gp/PP spent)

Finally, please take a look at my "Mike the GM" alias profile for some tips and guidelines, especially if you are new to play-by-post games.

Again, welcome aboard, and may all your hits be crits!

Hey guys! I have a variety of characters available. I would prefer to run a brand new character, a sylph arcanist. However, if we start Monday, then it may have 1xp already applied (which for a caster is a very good thing). I also have a lvl 2 dwarven barbarian, a fresh lvl 1 tiefling gunslinger (who's going the grenadier alchemist path), a lvl 1 half orc sorcerer, a lvl 2 hunter and his tiger, and a lvl 1 vigilante (who would have to be updated to the non-play test version).

Like I said, I would prefer to play the sylph, but if it fits the party better, I can run any of the above.

This is the only eligible PC I currently have.

Class and level: Unchained Summoner 1 (Naturalist archetype)
Current XP: 0
Current PP: 0
Current Fame: 0
Day Job Skill and Roll: Perform (dance) 20 (Take 10)
Pre-Scenario Purchases: None

Playing PBP since about 2008, PFS PBP for about 2 years.
I have played this scenario twice and run it twice.

Hey all, very excited to be a part of this group! I was planning on bringing my halfling Telekineticist for the ride. He is part blaster and part skill monkey with decent Disable Device, Perception, Sleight of Hand, and Stealth skills. His primary attack is 1d6+5 damage, but I don't yet have Precise Shot so I will be focusing on attacking things outside of melee. If we need a different role covered I also have a 1st level Lore Warden that I can bring, but would need to do just a little tweaking on him before he's ready.

I should say that both Aurora and her eidolon attack with ranged weapons in combat. I'm building the eidolon more as a scout than a combat monster, but since I picked Azata, getting a bow seemed like a decent option.

I have several eligible characters. I think I'll go with this one unless a healer turns out to be needed.

If I bring my arcanist, then his main thing is firing toppling magic missiles and using potent magic exploits to buff his damage spells.

Class and level: Fighter (1)
Current XP: 0

Current Fame: 0
Day Job Skill and Roll: (if any) Profession, Bodyguard: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Pre-Scenario Purchases: (list items and gp/PP spent) starting equipment

(or I can bring a beginning Paladin 1, or a Bard 3)

Player Name: Valjoen_KC

Class and level:b Fighter/1
Current XP: 1

Arcanist
Summoner
Telekeneticist
Fighter
Fighter
and whatever Karu is.

Seems like a decent party.

Healing might be a bit light. Aurora could use a wand if she had one, but she doesn't have any prestige yet to get one of her own.

I will bring along my Telekineticist!

I'm away from my rulebooks atm, and I'm drawing a blank on the rules for learning spells from scrolls during pfs downtime. Is there a limit to how many you can attempt to learn in between scenarios, and in which scenario do you make the rolls, in the beginning of the next one after you buy them?

If you discover the scroll during an adventure, and don't use it, you can learn the spells from it during your downtime at the end of the scenario. Otherwise, you don't need to buy scrolls to learn spells, you can just pay the spellbook access fee as described in the magic chapter of the CRB (half the scribing cost) and copy spells from spellbooks of other wizards in the Society during your downtime.

You can learn any number, and there isn't any reason you should have to make rolls unless you're trying to learn a spell way above your ability to cast. You have a +8 to spellcraft, I see, so you can copy up to 3rd level spells into your spellbook by taking 10.

It seems like this team doesn't have anyone capable of healing so I'll bring this lady instead. She's level 2, and so qualifies for the evergreen still.

I'm ready!

Looks like everyone has their PC profile ready to go, so I'll get the gameplay thread started ASAP. Thanks everyone!

Ok. I remember that now, thanks Nyroba!

That saves me at least 360 gp, and maybe more as I won't need some of the scrolls I previously had purchased. I'm in the process of loading up a moving truck for most of today, so I won't be able to post/update until later tonight.

It looks like everyone at this table is level 1, so we will be playing in Subtier 1.

Nyroba is level 2, I'll have her profile updated by this evening.

Sounds good!

Remember, you can only get credit for a level 2 character once for this scenario, even though it is an evergreen. If you have already applied a chronicle sheet from this scenario to a level 2 character, let me know. You will not receive a chronicle for this play through. If that means you would rather play a level 1 character, you are free to change before we get started. (You can get credit for the scenario with level 1 characters as many times as you want.)

I have only played this scenario once before, and it was with a level 1.

Class and level: Paladin (divine hunter) 2
Current XP: 4
Current PP: 0
Current Fame: 6
Day Job Skill and Roll: Survival (Hunting lodge vanity), taking 10: 10 + 3 = 13
Pre-Scenario Purchases: A bunch. This is my first time playing her at level 2 (I just finished a module) so I'm doing the full rebuild thing.

You don't need to put those all on the chronicle sheet for me, there probably isn't even room.

Today is a busy day. I have a deadline and a job interview and a full day of work at my day job. I'll post an update tomorrow!

Thank you for your patience. It was the last day of school today. (I teach high school.) My brain is going to take a break from braining until tomorrow morning.

No worries! My son's 3rd birthday party is tomorrow and Sunday is his actual birthday, so I won't be around much this weekend.

The weekend was busier than expected (writing deadline, family things) but I am now officially on summer break! Daily posting to commence.

I'm going to be fairly scarce again this week. My wife's father's health has taken a turn for the worse. He has been battling cancer for 2 years. Last week we were informed that it has metastasized into his stomach. He has been moved to hospice care. The whole family is congregating in Florida (we live in Kansas City) where her dad lives. I'll try to post when I can.

I will be home next Sunday and should be back to a regular posting schedule.

Very sorry to hear about your father-in-law... Hope all goes well for you and your family.

Just sending my best health wishes to your father in law

I just moved to Florida for family issues as well, though my move is more permanent. You have my condolences.

My condolences to you and your family. There will still be a place for you when you're able to return.

Map is coming today and then we are ready to move on! Stay tuned for that.

I'll soon be on holyday (next wednesday), and wont be able to post for nearly two weeks

PLease bot me as needed

Won't be able to post until tomorrow. Sorry folks, lots of unexpected things going on.

I am at convention this weekend, so I may not post again until Monday.

I planned on taking 10 on Perform (dance) for my Day Job check at the end of the adventure, so if you want, we can just work that into the narrative.

Sounds good!

Hello?

I'm going to take a few days off posting. Sorry for this but I am swamped at work and need to catch up. I'll be back this weekend.

Thanks for your patience; we are moving this week. All settled in and we won't have a break in internet service, so I can post by tomorrow at the latest and get things back on track to finish soon. Huzzah!

My computer has developed major issues and I will need to try to get my backup laptop working. Please bot me if needed.

Did we lose a bunch of players?

I'm still there, but can't do much to help.

I'm here too, although my computer has been acting up a bit, but not really able to do much with traps or carpentry.

I'm here. Just was waiting for an update.

Hey guys. I just four out of the hospital where I've spent the majority of my absence. I had a bad turn with my diabetes that pretty much took me out. I've been in ICU basically unconscious for a long time. Hopefully I'm allowed to catch up and rejoin?

Wow... THat's tough! Hope you feel better now, Mael, and take care!

You're welcome to rejoin for the exciting climax. I hope you are doing better. I spent a few days taking my dog in to the vet for some sudden emergency issues... so, sorry about that!

I'm currently on a trip to mexico and, unfortunately, the internet at our condo is down. I've found a hotspot in town but won't be able to post reliably until I'm back home on Wednesday. Please bot me as necessary.

Your continued patience is appreciated. Would you believe I've had to move out and back in to my classroom three times this year due to having rocks thrown through my windows and having all my materials covered in glass? Not fun, and a humongous waste of time.
