[PFS_Aerondor] 00-08 Slave Pits of Absalom [tier 1-2] PbP Gameday 5 (Inactive)

Game Master Aerondor

This is a Classic table. If you put down a Core character, it will be converted to Classic.

To make my life easier when it comes to filling in chronicles, if you could each put in a single post with:

If you are currently in a game or expect to apply a GM chronicle before play, hold off putting in the information.

Chronicle: What chronicle number this is for the character
History: What scenarios has the character completed? (or been credited with); any other chronicles (special boons etc)
Name:(the player) real name (as you have it appear on your chronicle sheets)
AKA: Character name
Faction: Your faction
PFS: # for the character
XP: starting XP,
Prestige: Starting prestige
Fame: Starting Fame
Gold: Starting wealth you bring into the adventure. This should be the total on your previous chronicle. If you want to buy any new stuff... see further on.
Day job: include the roll or that you don't have one. If you want to use a reroll at the end just note here you may want to use a reroll. If you don't include a roll I'll be assuming you take ten.
Spend: If you want to buy anything before the scenario starts (apart from your initial 150gp if you are a new character) include it here. This will appear in the "items bought" and/or "items sold" part of the chronicle.

Try to hold off actual discussion here until we have one post per character with those details (makes life easy for me to make the chronicles for you all at the end).

Please add an Icon for your character to the map. If you don't know how, let me know and I'll help.

The following players/characters have been accepted:

kuey tbc tbc

Ansha Lara Evangeline PFS bard 1
Michael_Hopkins Jurin 97978-12 Fighter 1/Paladin 1
Saiman Trig Bastarge Wizard-1

Please put your details here and then dot the gameplay thread. Actual play will start August 27th as I will run this as part of PBP Gameday 5

BTW: I will be on holiday from around the 4th to 11th of September. While I may smuggle a laptop with me, my focus and limited amount of time will be on the multi table specials and pushing a series of three linked scenarios through the GD.

I am changing from Jurin, and switching to Triblin, as it looks like some healing and other buffs may be needed.

Good thinking.

If you'll could put your icons on the map linked at the top that would be most helpful.

Given the silence from the others, and that GD5 is about to start meaning folk have been double booking characters, I'm going to go to the flaxseed and see if there are any more takers.

I like fighting slavers, I'm in.

If you could put icons on the map, and dot into the game thread, we'll kick off tomorrow.

Unfortunately, Google Presentation never agrees with me. Something breaks everytime :(

Well, I live in New Zealand, and it is the 27th here, so Game On.

I forgot about that, haha. Game Day, Activate!

I had two hard days taking care of the childs. Not complaining about the substitution, just asking my delay doesn´t count too negatively the next time I have the oportunity to play with you.

Sorry Jhon. RL always takes priority - I have kids and I know how hard it can be. I was just keen to get folk on board for the start of GD5.

Oh yeah, I have an Acrobatics check at the start of the day for my acrobat's pillar.
DC 20 Acrobatics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
Oh well. No bonus for me :(

What is an acrobats pillar?

Make a DC 20 Acrobatics check to get a +2 circumstance bonus to Acrobatics to avoid attacks of opportunity for 24 hours or until you fail an Acrobatics check.

Sorry I'm late checking in.

I guess we can go with seven. If I wasn't already GMing four other games I'd split you into two tables of four.

I think I'll probably take a backseat for the next social encounter. I don't want to take over all of them.

You can be the aggressive ninja if you want, it's fine by me. I'm not good at diplomacy..... I'm just around to buff and heal when need be.... I'm not even good against undead concerning channels.

Well, we do have a couple other Charisma-focused characters. I don't want to take their spotlight.

You are rolling so well I say keep it up! :D

This normally doesn't happen to me. Over in the Sky Key Solution, I critted twice on a flurry of blows and got max damage on one of them. :D

Alternatively, I rolled 5 misses in a row in Monsterhearts the week before, so maybe it's balancing out.

Random factors... I have one game where my character just felt like he was weighting down the team. I think in the thirty or forty rolls I did in game, 2 ended up in double digits.

Other times you get those rolls of 19 and 20 at just the right time and you are humming. OF course that leads to overconfidence...

Play the character as you would have them act. If you start to dominate too much, feel free to dial it back but I don't think you are there yet.

When I played a 3.5 home game we used to have to make a skill check, we'd roll high. In actual battle, lots of misses. We used to joke about it being life and death... out of battle "of course, not life-and-death." In battle, "Of course, life and death."

BTW I'm off on holiday for a week starting this weekend, so my posting will decrease and possibly stop.

No worry, have fun!

How high is the roof? Is there a way to get up there on the outside?

Has purple attacked?

Another question...If I enlarge myself and throw my axe with hand of apprentice...does it shrink back down for damage, since it left my hands?

Roof is 15' up. Climb check to get up there.

And yes, if you enlarge and throw/fire, objects return to normal size. I think they decided that combo was just too good, and made gravity bow irrelevant.

I figured that on the thrown weapon, but wanted to check, since I have the character and stats on Hero Lab and if I hit the enlarge effect the weapon goes to next size, don't want to get that wrong again.

For Liberty's Edge faction card goals, was Fredrik at least CR 1?

I'll be on holiday for 4 days, so posting might slow down but I'll still try to keep to once a day. Please NPC Quinn where necessary. Im combat, he'll just stabby-stabby with his longspear.

@Quinn No worries.

@Talia Which liberty's edge faction goal were you thinking of? He was not exactly a combatant as such.

Defeat a slaver at least equal to your level. It doesn't specify in combat, but I'm sure there will be other chances this scenario if Fredrik doesn't count.

Fredrik doesn't really count, but rest assured you will be able to tick that off, if you survive.

Queue: Maniacal laughter, stage left.

Aww, but I don't provoke AOOs when healing. *sniff sniff*
I shall accept the miss though!

How do you not provoke while healing? Ahh, merciful healer! Nice.

You may want to note that in the future when you cast a heal that would normally provoke. I'll almost certainly forgot, other GMs may as well.

The Merciful Healer Archetype allows it with the following special ability:

Combat Medic (Ex): A merciful healer does not provoke attacks of opportunity when using the Heal skill to stabilize another creature or
casting healing spells.

Ultimate Combat pg 41; unless I am mistaken, in which, yay short stature!

Ah, sure thing! I'll do that next time.

Well, that was cool. If you're going to crit, make it awesome :D

I fully agree there! Kinda like a final attack, haha. Now, show the gnoll who's boss!

May not be able to post as much as I like this weekend coming up. My anniversary with my wife is this weekend.

Standard level 2 monk, get close flurry of blows. Likes to call out casters and go after them first. Use step up if they try to five foot away. stunning fist if I move the same turn. Scorpion style on casters if I move the same turn.

No worries, unless lots of folk post, I try to slow down a bit on weekends.

I tend to check for new in the morning. And every few hours throughout the day.

Pretty close to finish now, just a wrap up really.

Rolling for boons. Now this time they are awarded on a 20 or a 16. And the actual boon is random.

Lara: 1d20 ⇒ 5
Talia: 1d20 ⇒ 6
Quinn: 1d20 ⇒ 20
Drusillia: 1d20 ⇒ 11
Quistina : 1d20 ⇒ 1
Ignaru : 1d20 ⇒ 12
Triblin : 1d20 ⇒ 17
GM: 1d20 ⇒ 15

Quinn! I'll need your email address to include in the reporting, you can either post it here or send me a PM with it.

boon itself: 1d6 ⇒ 4
I have no idea what that translates to. The only clue given for that one is: I hear you’re going to the elemental planes soon…

Now if someone wants to post in gameplay to finish things off and find your missing noble...

Yay! Thanks, have pm'ed you my email address.

GM, I didn't realise that pregen could also roll for day jobs, until I read the latest guild guide in detail. If it is not too late to do so, here's the roll.

craft(alchemy), crafter's fortune: 1d20 + 8 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 8 + 5 = 24
