PFS Crypt of the Everflame. (Inactive)

Game Master Keith Apperson

Thanks! :D Excited to play through this mod

Alright, thank you for your patience. Please let me know if you have any concerns with my style - Play By Post is not my primary format.

We should be able to continue moving at a good speed again. At Hmm's recommendation, I'll allow for the rest of the day for the other players to chime in before I count them as dropped. If you would like, we can attempt to find similarly paced replacements.

Are we allowed to find replacements since this is PFS?

Well if we're not that far in and we would otherwise have an illegal table I believe so.

Don't we have the necessary 4?

You're only 1/3 of the way in. Since modules frequently go over more than one session live, there are often people who come in for the second half who were not present for the first. With a module if you complete 2/3rds, you're elegible for full credit, so if you're going to recruit a pair of replacements, the time is now.

Hmm

Right now we have:

Fighter
Warpriest
Cleric
Rogue

We aren't in desperate need of anything as far as I know, but another character might be worth having to fill us out more.

I'm mostly indifferent either way. What do you all think?

How long would it take? This is like the module that never ends

Well it doesn't help that our DM was in and out all the time. I'm also indifferent about recruiting but if we do, I suggest an arcane type. I would also suggest only 1 more maximum.

Can we just finished? We have been doing this for 5 months already.

either way works for me...another wouldn't hurt us I think....

1-2 modules tend to be tough at the end, because they were written expecting that the party would level midway through. In PFS that's often handled by having 6 person parties to offset the higher end challenges.

I think that if you recruit two others who are fast posters (and we could do that today in Flaxseed) we can have them join you in this room or the next and give your group that edge.

I do sympathize though about this module having dragged, though. I think that the last 2/3 will go much faster under another GM.

Hmm

Yeah, that's the unfortunate thing - we're not quite to the halfway point yet. I'll try to keep us pushing and moving as much as I can to release your characters back into the real world again.

i was a replacement player in this module with another character....it can be tough if you are running a short party....

And at this point I will be removing the other two players officially. I've got someone interested in moving at a quick pace already - Illia and Yulai will return to town and send reinforcements!

Hello, all...

GM KApp has invited me to join you, but I still have to build the character, so am willing to make something that would be fun for you all.

It is likely that it will be "Hypno-Toad"

The kitsune never responded?

Alas no. I have Saiman's real world email and tried to ping him but got no response.

Who needs a kitsune when you have Hypnotoad?

Slade, y'all killed the shadow this time!

Keith, I am trying to decide if I should ask you to mark me as a former player or if I should stay here to make snarky comments and eat popcorn. Anya and Hypnotoad look amusing! I think I should exit stage left though so that I can get my own game started without getting distracted by constantly reading your witty banter and roleplay.

Love you all and good luck! Hope you have a great run through of Crypt! Keith, can you mark me as a former player now?

Hmm

I volunteer for front of the single file and front row of the pairs....will adjust when on compiter....on ohone atm

Garth Frogg would prefer to be protected... if 2X2 then in the second row, if single file, perhaps 4th?

He likes distance between himself and his foes since he is a sniper

Slade will be in the front as well.

If I may be so bold as to suggest an order:

2*2
Rolander Slade
Darth Frogg Anya
E'li Lilianna
(I know the formatting won't hold, but..)

Single File
Slade
Rolander
Darth Frogg
Anya
Lilianna
E'li

Lets the "squishies" be protected, the cleric be close enough she can move up to help. The only risk is that it puts the archer with too many people to fire through...

I do have point blank shot and the feat which allows me to shoot into combat sans penalty.

Precise Shot handles the -4 for shooting into melee, but doesn't help with the cover. That would be improved precise shot (which takes a MUCH higher level character).

Is this arrangement ok, then?

I find this arrangement to be most acceptable. Carry on Mr. Frog.

So my effectiveness will be hindered.

E'li, I understand that, o if you have a better marching order please feel free to suggest. Mine was an attempt to keep things as balanced, and safe, as possible, hopefully, in most cases, you will be able to maneuver to a good firing line. It is always a problem that archers have to deal with, and why my archery war priest worships Erastil, to get his super incredible trait.

Maneuvering in modules tends to be easier in modules than scenarios correct?

How much longer do we have in this module before we can get credit for it? This is just dragging and dragging.

If anyone has missed it, my tagline (where you have character information) leads to the tactical map and information.

Information and Tactical

Thank you!

Can a person using a sling use a shield?

You can use a sling, but loading might be an issue. :P

That is what I was thinking.

Another pause?

Are we at the mid point of the module yet?

GM Kapp has been out sick the last couple of days...

I hope he feels better.

Are we almost done with this adventure?

You are a room away from floor 2 (around the halfway point). If you would like to leave at that point, I could write you a partial chronicle, but you would be unable to complete the rest of the dungeon in the future without a Replay.

If the pace is an issue, I believe that will be somewhat resolved once the holidays are past. If you have any other concerns, please feel free to PM me.

E'li, you are now 20ft from the room you were in

Gracias

Are we on the second floor yet?

I wonder if there are other boons or something that can be awarded for a module that never ends? Maybe be 80th level by the time we finish?

I will be at a convention this Saturday and will be unable to post. Feel free to bot me!

Still there GM?

Gm I understand that you are busy but it has been almost 2 months since I asked for my chronicle. Will it be coming soon?

Hey all, apologies as my work situation has changed from being able to keep up with this game to having extremely limited time - I've been putting off finishing this with the hope that we'd be able to do it properly but it's dragged on too long.

I've got all the information you provided before copied out and I'm starting generating the chronicles sheets so we can release your characters back out into the world. I'll put up a narration of the final fight and the adventure resolution tonight or tomorrow.

Sorry for my lack of attention again, I know it just added to the (many) other issues this module had. I hope this is a satisfactory resolution for everyone.

Keith
