Update -- This game will start on October 6th, not October 1st, due to the website problems.
Desini |
Just checking in, assuming this game is still going ahead from October 6?
I'll be away on a family vacation from 29 Sep and returning on 7 October, but still keen and ready to go as soon as I return.
GM Paladin |
That is the plan yes.
GM Paladin |
I'm going to begin mustering a little early -- all my tables for session 1 have had people ghost on me so I'd like time to recruit another if necessary.
Please check in here with the following:

Character name:
PFS#:
Day Job if any:

As stated previously, I intend to start on the 6th. So if your other game is almost over, you can play that character in this one. Otherwise, you may need to play a different character or a pregen.
GM Paladin |
Sending PMs to everyone who is on the list. If they don't respond, I'll go down the waitlist.

I've made an initial post in the gameplay thread to start things off. This scenario starts in media res so it's a little different from the usual briefing->travel->mission situation.

Korandil hasn't posted or replied to me so I am notifying waitlist people to see who's available.
GM Paladin |
OK, so I maybe tapped the waitlist a little early. We now have 7 people checked in. We're still low-tier. If we're all fine for running with 7, I don't mind.
Vlazis 'The Beloved' Chibuzo |
I've got no problems running with 7 :)
Xukong |
I'm still in my last adventure, but as I said, this one takes priority, so I'm in the process of working my way out of that one.
GM Paladin |
I'm sorry about the delays. I've been having a little bit of burnout. I will be able to finish this by the deadline, I think. This combat is done (I'll be posting shortly) thanks to a large amount of damage being done very quickly, so we can move on.
GM Paladin |
Obviously, I'm having a little trouble with pace for this scenario. I will be able to report this to the PBP gameday folks when required, and if you don't mind, I'll just need to continue the game. Some of my other games will be winding down shortly so I will be able to focus on getting this done more quickly. My sincere apologies.
We should go ahead and do boon rolls now. 1 and 20 win.
GM roll: 1d20 ⇒ 12
Vlazis 'The Beloved' Chibuzo |
1d20 ⇒ 3
Womp womp
Xukong |
Boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 5 nooB.
GM Paladin |
Looks like no boons. I wish boons were handled differently. It would be nifty if every table had at least one person who won a boon, like say we all rolled and whoever got the highest won. Oh well.
Roderick Xim |
I have seen one boon on about 5 tables. So it does happen.
I am not a huge fan of race boons anyway.
I would be more interested in something in one-time use boons (faction etc) on most chronicles better than a race boon to start a new character. But it is moot, since I have not won one.
Xukong |
I got super-duper lucky with my Boon rolls a couple years ago. Not so much this time around.
Vlazis 'The Beloved' Chibuzo |
Hmm, looks like we've got a spectral post. The last page is supposed to have posts 151-152, but only has one...
GM Paladin |
Sorry about the delay. I'll get this taken care of -- my work has me slammed up against some deadlines, but it'll be OK.
GM Paladin |
Roderick and Korandil, I need the following from you:
Player name (as you'd like to have it appear on Chronicle):
Character name:
PFS#:
Day Job if any:
Normal or slow progression:
Roderick Xim |
Weird - I lost my post. Trying again...
Player: GM Aarvid
Character: Roderick
Pathfinder Society Number: 9884-9
Faction: Grand Lodge
Slow Track or Normal: Normal
Day Job Roll: Alchemy: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23
Thanks again, great time!
GM Paladin |
We'll be done pretty soon, this last combat won't last much longer.
Xukong |
You would need to move up to the beacon and put the container around it as a standard action, then close and secure the container as a move. If people work together, it shouldn't take too long.
I still don't understand; does it take more than one person to do that?
GM Paladin |
It can be done with a single person, but will take at least two rounds. If someone else helps, they can help finish it in one round. There's still Imrizade to help and others might need help getting above the gas as well.
GM Paladin |
I'm still working on it. I'll have them soon. I needed to report it earlier because the gameday was over.
Xukong |
So! Some of us still have a spellbook to crib from!
I will accept that research invitation, too:
EDIT: Oh, that's right! I have the "Friend of Janira Gavix" Boon, which grants +1 to Knowledge checks made in Absalom's Grand Lodge (which is more or less where we are)!
Knowledge (Arcana), Archivist, Friend of Janira Gavix: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21
folio reroll: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35 !
GM Paladin |
Congratulations, you have completed Call of the Copper Gate!
Your primary success conditions were to secure all three beacons in the warding containers, which you did.
Your secondary success conditions were to achieve two of the three following objectives:
-Disarm the beacon in the first encounter without damaging it, which you did not.
-Learn all four answers in the second encounter (with the Rhu-Chalik), which you did.
-Restore Imrizade to positive HP before the end of the last combat, which you did not.
Unfortunately, you do not receive the second Prestige point, and there is a boon on the sheet that is only gained if you achieve these goals.
Dark Archive PCs had further goals related to research and so forth, and do receive a boon on the sheet related to those.
In-tier PCs (3-4) receive 1,259 gp, and out-of-tier PCs receive 2,233 gp, unless on the slow track.
GM Paladin |
So! Some of us still have a spellbook to crib from!
Right you are! This book is the Book of Harms from Ultimate Magic. Normally you can't buy the special spellbooks, but this one is on the Chronicle sheet so you can. It contains the preparation ritual, so the magus and the arcanist can both get one of those if they want. The spells of the spellbook are listed in the SRD.
You can scribe from it without purchasing it before this adventure is over, or you can buy it and have the spells available to prepare.
Xukong |

My intention, precisely - also, please note my addendum to my previous post.
Transcription costs (taking 10 on all Spellcraft checks should more than pass):
hydraulic push (10 gp)
+
darkness (40 gp)
+
fireball (90 gp)
+
lightning bolt (90 gp)
=
230 gp
Sadly, the others are all either already known to me or not on the Magus list (seriously, why can't we learn ghoul touch?).

Are any of the spells usable by an alchemist? Not really an expert on transcription of spells.
An alchemist can study a wizard’s spellbook to learn any formula that is equivalent to a spell the spellbook contains.
Vlazis 'The Beloved' Chibuzo |
I'll use my Prized Find boon to get the 2nd PP
Thanks for running!

None in that book, I'm sorry to say.

THAT. THAT was what I was looking through my Chronicles for earlier, but Xukong doesn't have.
Does it work for everyone?
