PFS by PbP scenario TBD (Inactive)

Game Master Brayden Green

Thanks for GMing this one, it was fun!

I am definitely down for what you are saying. Heaven only knows I will be busy until then, with all the unpacking and everything going on with that that side of the family.Once July kicks around, I will be super bored and looking for some time filler stuff again.

I will be super bored and looking for some time filler stuff again.

Nice to know we mean so much to you... *sniff* ;)

Dance! Dance for my enjoyment!

Fires crossbow bolts at feet....

Polling time!

Please either post in here if you have played any of the following scenarios.

Void in the Void (note, this could be slightly more challenging since with this group and everyone being at level 2, you have the option to run this as a 3-4 tier instead of 1-2!)
Rise of the Goblin Guild
The Night March of Kalkamedes

Varian is only level 1... I've played rise of the goblin guild.

Won't Varian be level 2 after this? Or will this be Varian's 2nd Chronicle?

This is Varian's second chronicle, so he'll still be first level.. sorry

Booo :P

Alright then,

The new list is

Night March of Kalkamedes
God's Market Gamble

or Challenge: Thornkeep Level 1: The Accursed Halls. Note, Thornkeep will be a dungeon crawl with a town to get supplies if you need to escape (of course the more intelligent monsters get to regroup, too!). It's Tier 1, but there are still several challenging encounters that will make this interesting. It's also worth 3XP, 4PP, and 1400 gold.

I'll only run Thornkeep if all the players are OK with it. Otherwise I'll go with one of the other scenarios based on if anyone played it or has a prefence.

Dave

thornkeep or whatever :)

Also, I'll have Chronicle sheets out at some point on Monday. I'm going to semi-personalize these! Woo!

If you have a day job check, make the roll in the GamePlay thread.

thornkeep is fine with me... sounds interesting... but whatever you prefer...

Hey, someone confirm my brain-thoughts please. But Amnur is now level 3, right? I think he started level 2 at the Azlanti basecamp mission, and once that was done he'd be 2.5, and now he's 3. Correct?

Flori started here, so I think she's still level one.

Flori, you should have just hit level 2 after this since between the first two Before the Dawn and this (Mists of Mwangi) will be the 3rd XP to put her at 2!

Amnur, how many missions have you run? Sounds like this is your 5th mission as Amnur, which will put you at 5XP. You'll be 1 short for the next level, so the next mission will put you at level 3.

Varian, you'll be the most vulnerable in Thornkeep being a level 1. Thus, look into either getting a wand of shield of faith or carry a shield (or both!) Alternatively, get both! Also, the other PCs maybe should invest in a single potion of CLW so if you go down, they're not SOL :P

a wand of sof might be good, but he can't carry a shield - all his weapons are 2-handed and he'd be unable to fight. or maybe we could do another mod first so he's 2nd level, then start thornkeep?

Ah no worries Varian.

Honestly, Thornkeep is a level 1 module, but it can be assigned to a level 2 character as well. I think I'll do Thornkeep if everyone else is ok, and just know you're the glass cannon in the group :P Then that'll put everyone at level 3 and you at 2, then I'll run the 3-4 tier of Voice in the Void and everyone will be 3 :)

ok... please don't kill me though ;)

Blame Amnur for triggering all the battles at the same time!

I haven't played Thornkeep, but I've played Voice.

Aww Flori, combo breaker :P I'll find another fun 1-7 mission to run for you guys then :P

LEROY JENKINS!!!

We have full confidence in your ability to generate fun. :)

We are level 3 amnur. Woot woot.

I have run voice, (but a different char got that xp, not Orion). It was great!

I thought I could be level 3 now Orion, are you sure? I'm thinking we're 3, just want to be sure.

I have a copy of Thornkeep and have read it, a few months ago.

Cool Mylv, and no worries about reading it. The part I want to run is repeatable. Mylv can be the groups guide then!

Actually, it would be kind of perfect if Mylvie had read a couple of books about Thornkeep from the library before the gang headed out. That is completely her style.

I promise though, I won't pick up the book again and my memory isn't great so I will mostly be typing, "Oh, yeah, I remember that!" after exciting, potentially-lethal things happen to us.

Followed closely by Amnur's exclamation "Well why didn't ya tell us before it tried to eat us!" :)

I'm pretty sure, I won't know til I hook up my Cpu (hero labs on there). We are the same level as shilyn too. I wonder if she has the info handy.

Shi?

I show lvl 2 with 4xps and 2xp to go. So this one probably won't put us over the top to 3.

Then again, I'm thinking I may be missing one..

First Steps had 3 parts..
before the dawn had 2 parts..

so that should be 5xps. Plus this one should be 6. If someone can verify..

Edit: Yup.. I forgot to click the 1xp box on BtD part 1.. ugh. Should have 5 xps.

Sweet. So, leveling?

Happy fathers day to the fathers out there in golarion.

I'm still a mod away from leveling... I'm curious as to how leveling in Thornkeep works for pfs... you said it's 3xp - is that for the entire thing, or just the first section? because you're supposed to be up to like 8th level for the last section, and if it only gives 3xp for the total, no one would survive...

Yes happy fathers day fathers!

I thought she said only 5, so no leveling... Ack! :)

Well.. 5 + this one Amnur. May be enough for the level, not sure.

'+ this one' meaning the one we just completed in the museum?

aye.

3 for first steps
2 for before the dawn
and one for this one (museum) :)

Ok, thanks for helping my fevered brain figure that out. Unless our illustrious Chocobo tells me otherwise, I'll get Amnur leveled to 3. :D

Have we had a chronicle yet for this one?

@Mylv: Chronicle will be out later today; was out of town from Friday until late last night, so I'll finally get around to it :)

Alright, so because the party dynamics are different from what I had expected (with 3 level 3's now), we can't run the first level of Thornkeep (boo).

That being said, to keep things challenging and available to everyone else, here's the new scenario list.

The Infernal Vault (1-7, will be running it 3-4 tier)
The Many Fortune of Grandmaster Tourch (1-7, will be running it 3-4 tier)
The Night March of Kalkamedes (1-5, will run it 1-2 tier since it's a Season 4 scenario)

That's the order of Scenarios I want to run. I just need to know if anyone has played one of the first two. If so, then we'll go down to the Night March and the level 3's just get a bit less gold.

Thank you all of your patience. We'll start the next one SOOOOOON.

For those who want to start making updates to their characters before I get the chronicle sheet out, everyone is getting the following

509gp
1XP
2PP (everyone passed their faction missions!)

@Mylv: You can learn some spells from the scrolls that were found. Your Spellcraft is high enough that you can learn these spells by taking 10

Dispel Magic (Abjuration, level 3, 90gp)
False Life (Necromancy, level 2, 40gp)

This spell will require a DC 20 Spellcraft check to learn

Break Enchantment (abjuration, level 5, 250gp)

Your choice on these, just let me know so I can mark it on the chronicle sheet and mark the gold accordingly.

I haven't played any of those. Sorry to throw the wrench in your plan Chocobo.

Me no play any of those either says orion in his best amnur warrior voice. He isn't sure he did it right.

The only one I haven't played is The Many Fortunes.

I am unpacking today and will try to get to the computer but no promises. Also, my mother in law will be going any hour now, so I will try to get leveled asap, but go ahead without me when you are ready. Sorry for the distractions.

Don't worry Orion, it probably won't be for a day or two til we get things started.

Also, Flori, I know your number is low and all, but stop playing all the scenarios! :P

I haven't played any of those,.. can i play at tier 3-4 since I'm only 1st lvl?

You can Varian; because the scenario itself is 1-7, you are legal for the scenario and you can play up 1 tier from your normal, so it's ok.

On that note, for the most part, majority of the 1-7 scenarios from season 1 are somewhat tame compared to future 3-7 counter parts in later seasons. Just play somewhat defensively minded and you'll be ok :) While the creatures will have more HP and could deal more damage than in a standard 1-2 mission, you will get a fair bit more gold, (the same could also be said for Flori and Mylv, the level 2's, but the extra level of HP and the fact they're casters who are probably going to sit somewhat in the back should make it ok.

With that being said, Varian, Flori, and Mylvwara, if any of you don't feel comfortable playing up a tier, I will run it as a 1-2 tier. Better to make it a cakewalk than force you to play into a more dangerous scenario and get someone's character killed.

Not to muddy the waters further, but would it make things easier (more module options) if Amnur took .5 xp from the museum mission instead of the full 1xp?

You could if you'd like Amnur; of course then Shi and Orion/Brayden would have to do so to keep everyone below level 3 for Thornkeep (although that'll net you a whole level right there). And then you'd probably want to do the same for the next regular scenario to finally get those half values out of the way.

If you'd like to do that for some Thornkeep dungeon crawling fun sooner than later, I'll be more than happy to mark the chronicle sheets as appropriate. As a reminder, you'll also only receive 1/2 the gold, fame, and PP from doing so.
