[PFS_Aerondor] 04-06 The Green Market (5-9) high tier (Inactive)

Game Master Aerondor

Its what I SHOULD have done to ensure I got that Devil into play - c'est la vie :(

This is a doozy of an encounter! I think we are all going to die here, lol...

Nah we got this, just back it up and focus fire to bring down the targets.

Just need to try position ourselves so we aren't getting the squishies pasted and on fire.

I hope not! (about all dying) I've not killed a single PFS character yet, and I'd hate my first time to be a TPK.

The encounter is Tough. But this is what high tier in a mid/high range scenario is all about. If/when you survive, you'll be glad for a break and a beer back at the Flaxseed lodge.

But I am trying to give you as many breaks as I can.

All good, we got caught short being deposited right in the middle of AOO throwing mobs - stopping us buffing and summoning, which was a bit untidy, but we can weather this one if we concentrate on cracking their action economy and pulling them down.

Now that is a feat that may have saved you. High level PF characters do have a LOT of options.

I'm a little surprised at the wording of undead mastery. Most of the "bump up your effective level" type feats are designed to help multi-classed characters and max you out at your character level. That looks like a feat that potentially makes any undead BBEG a bit of a waste of time, or even worse a liability.

I played the Sanos Abduction in a team with a necromancer. They turned it into a bit of a cake walk. I guess there are not that many undead focused scenarios that it is a big thing, but they do pop up as at least one encounter in around half the scenarios.

The team is still in combat, but this is important as Nox can probably still give one command this round.

Well, it was a rare form of BBEG just happening to meet the rare Pathfinder Necromancer - it was two unicorns in a match made on Tinder.

All good fun though, the module wasn't playing nicely - so sort of fitting that neither were the Pathfinders :P

Haha you made me laugh, Shifty. :D

There are a lot of undead in earlier scenarios and they show up from time to time after that. Its always fun to turn a little baddie into your own skeleton though. I've had some fun and expensive pets since i've had this guy.

You've kind of sidestepped the main last encounter.

But.. this way of resolving it actually makes a lot more sense than the way the scenario proposes.

So congratulations. In the "standard" way to finish this, Galdron realizes that anger leads to the dark side only after you beat him senseless.

Yeap, it takes violence to make someone realize that violence is not the answer...

I rather like the Nox solution - even if it is a little anti-climatic.

I'll try to cut some chronicles tonight, but it may take into the weekend.

So Nox alpha'd the elementals? I thought for sure I was a goner running around with 9hp vs AoO demons with reach...Nox I owe you some ambrosia...it might change you to a LG deity though...

Well, the elementals are a bit odd. The ghost has no mechanical control over them, but in the splash text after you defeat him he dismisses them with a wave.

In my first post he was going to say "I cannot do that", and Nox's action be wasted. But I'm not quite that evil when the scenario has him doing exactly that later on.

I actually quite like the ending as it happens to have unfolded! Good guys get peaceful ending and don't solve all their problems with violence... and Nox finds new true love...

I like it! Great job, Nox!

Indeed great job saving our lives! :D Undead tinder made a good job there!

They both swiped right.

I have to do pseudo reporting earlier to pick up problems.

Questions for two of you.

Wygran - 114769-10 shows up as Vilddroth uth-Carpenden of the Liberty's Edge. Can you double check his number for me?

Svetlana - you are showing we 21xp which should be level 8 not level 9. Did Svetlana get some GM credit assigned after the discussion thread post but before the same started? If so I'll need to change her chronicle around.

I've done an initial cut at the reporting and drafted chronicles.

Thanks for the game everyone, this one was quite edge-of-the-seat stuff right up til the end. I hope you enjoyed yourselves.

OK checked.

She had 20 chronicles sheets and 24xp total at the start of the scenario, so this should be 21/25 respectively.

Very good and very close lol. sorry for being out at the end, and to bad the only good roll all game was on that do or die reflex lol

114768-10
should be Wyrgans number. apologies for the mistake.

Excellent.

I've fixed both those chronicles and also the reporting.

I'll mark this as inactive in a day or so.

Many thanks.

Thank you for the awesome (and fearsome) game, Aerondor :)

Thanks, DM, got my chronicle! Thanks so much for running the game for us!

Thanks for the game good sir!

I actually thought Wyrgan was not going to make it so many thanks for playing the scenario with us running at the edge of a knife... was fun and different.

Could I ask you to turn the thread inactive? Thanks :)

You certainly can. Everyone has had a couple of days for questions. Any further ones, send me a PM

Cheers matey! Thanks for GMing :)
