I just had a look, and it looks like I misreported the level 4 session (I reported it as Danu, but gave it the wrong pas number.). I'll contact Jesse. There's another mistake I made in reporting :(

I'm pretty much leveled up and ready to go, except for purchases. I think I'm just buying a dex boosting item and a couple scrolls, though.
Is this one of the levels recommended to use the pregens, or no?

DM Kludde |

The recommended starting level for this floor is level 5. If you're over that, you probably have to take it slow.
@Jelani: Slow advancement gives 1.5 xp (basically one character level per two modules played).

DM Kludde |

It's tier 4-6. What level are you now?

DM Kludde |

I fthat is true, you're level 7. Did you count the chronicle that was intended for Danu, by any chance? Because I still have to ask Jesse to change that one...
If not, then your character is definitely out of range, which means you'll have to play Crowelani (or Kyrelani, Valani, Lemani, whoever you like) for one more level.

This could be a pretty tough fight - Thistle will shout out his weaknesses as soon as he can. Doesn't seem fair to prep ahead of time since we couldn't do it in character with the thing sitting right there. Unless someone else has know:planes... then just one less person to have to tell what we should do :)

Since we're as good as finished on this level, I thought I'd make you some chronicles. Did everybody want a fast track chronicle?

![]() |

Thanks again DM Kludde!
Yes, I am taking the fast track. I just did the math, and assuming we are still playing by then (I hope so!) I wont take the slow track until level 11 I think... That should put me at level 13 for the 16th level of the dungeon.
Leveling up my character now.
Here is a question I mentioned a little while back but didn't need an answer at the time.
Can I "catch up" on the land grab chronicle sheet? The way I read the chronicle, you can buy 1 hex for every chronicle sheet you have. So theoretically I should be able to buy 6 hexes now... right? If that is the case let me know, I will post on here what hexes I get.
Looking forward to the next one!

I hope I didn't jump the gun, but I'm leveled.
I really want to thank you, DM Kludde, for running this epic adventure. Of all the PBP I've run, this is the one I look forward to checking the most...love it!
I really hope we can keep going...I love this group! :)

![]() |

Ok - Leveled up to 6. Updated my tagline as well to a new format my other PFS group is using - the idea is to make it easier for the DM to find information. Let me know if you like it Mr. Kludde, I will be happy to give you the template I use for it. (and give credit to GM Damo for coming up with it)
Purchases:
Upgrade +1 Chainmail to +2 chainmail (3000gp)
Belt of Mighty Constitution +2 (from the chronicle sheet) (4000gp)
Cloak of resistance +1 (1000gp)
I also swapped out Command for Remove fear, added Invisibility Purge, Cure Serious Wounds, and Neutralize Poison for level 3 spells.
I would also like to do the land grab if possible - I have 5 chronicles to catch up on.
I think thats it... Ready for more!

Belt of Giants Str +2 4000 gold
Trapspringers gloves 4000 gold

Bruce posted all of the tiers for all of the levels on the first page of this discussion thread... I found it last week when I had the same question. I would link it for you but I'm on my phone and it is a pain... Pretty sure it's near the bottom of page one.

I'll stick around as well. You might want to send a link for the land rush chronicle Kludde since I believe it starts at level 1. Also here is the list of levels and the ones marked with an * are recommended for slow credit.
Level 1: The Tower Ruins 1–2
Level 2: The Cellars 1–3
Level 3: Splinterden 2–4
Level 4: Godhome 3–5*
Level 5: The Drowned Level 3–5*
Level 6: The Clockwork Maze 4–6
Level 7: Shrine of the Awakener 5–7
Level 8: The Circle of Vissk-Thar 6–8
Level 9: The Spire Axis 7–9
Level 10: The Magma Vault 8–10*
Level 11: The Tomb of Yarrix 8–10*
Level 12: The Automaton Forge 9–11*
Level 13: The Pleasure Gardens 9–11*
Level 14: The Throne of Azlant 10–12*
Level 15: Order and Chaos 10–12*
Level 16: The Emerald Root 11–13I am going to take slow credit for this and the next one Kludde since I started off as level 2.

The last chronicle I have for Jelani is Level 3 of the tower. You have reported him as also completing level 4, but I don't have a copy of the chronicle in my file for some reason. Can you link me it again, please? Thanks. I need to get my money straight so I can buy a wayfinder and one of those ioun stones that prevents possession.

DM Kludde |

All the chronicles are here.
I've got your level 4 effort reported under Danu. Maybe the number was wrong?

![]() |

When I look at Jelani's "sessions" tab it has:
Nov 9, 2014 51000 DMK's Emerald Spire Dungeon 5 Kludde The Emerald Spire Superdungeon - Level 2: The Cellars (RPG) 12663 -2 Jelani Liberty's Edge 4
Dec 7, 2014 51231 PFS PbP Game Day 3 32 Kludde The Emerald Spire Superdungeon - Level 3: Splinterden (RPG) 12663 -2 Jelani Liberty's Edge — Player has already played scenario at session # 5 of event # 51000 DMK's Emerald Spire Dungeon on November 09, 2014.
Jan 8, 2015 51231 PFS PbP Game Day 3 72 Kludde The Emerald Spire Superdungeon - Level 4: Godhome (RPG) 12663 -2 Jelani Liberty's Edge 4
Except level 2 was played by Skaarr, not Jelani according to my memory and to Dropbox. His PFS number is 12663-3. So that was reported wrong.
Then level 3 was Jelani, which I have a chronicle for.
Levels 4-6 were played with Crowelani, and the credit given to Danu. Danu's PFS number is 12663-4. His sessions tab shows level 5 and 6, but not 4. Soo level 2 and 4 are assigned to Jelani. But level 2 should be Skaarr, and level 4 should be Danu. Make sense?

DM Kludde |

So, is the following right? Please confirm, and I'll try to change as much as I can.
Level 1: Skaarr -> Correct
Level 2: Skaarr -> Not Correct (now on Jelani)
Level 3: Jenali -> Correct
Level 4: PG (Danu) -> Not correct (now on Jelani)
Level 5: PG (Danu) -> Correct
Level 6: PG (Danu) -> Correct
Emerald spire reporting has been chaotic lately. Please ignore the 'Player has already played' messages, they're a legacy thing/bug in the reporting system.

DM Kludde - I forgot to mention, remove curse cost 150gp (spell casting service). I will make sure that gets accounted for on my chronicle sheet from the last level.
Also - sorry I haven't been able to post as often. I just moved this weekend about 3 hours away from my home to take a new job. Started this week, and still trying to work out a ridiculous amount of details between house hunting, mortgage searching, etc, etc... I am doing my best to keep up, and I think things may be settling down just a bit. (to a dull roar...)
Hopefully this new routine I am getting into will hold, which will let me post more often.

I just realized that Paizo has put an end to the early entry for prestige classes they had allowed last year. My character is no longer legal, since I can't enter ekdritch knight until next level now.
I'm guessing this allows me to change some things up without problems...do you want me to go ahead and do that?

DM Kludde |

I must say I haven't followed it much. Do you have a link for me, or some reference? What do they say on rebuilding, because usually they grandfather these things.

![]() |

Last year they updated the FAQ to allow early entry to prestige classes with spell like abilities, including in PFS. However, they went back on it and changed the FAQ.
I am not sure how to proceed at this point, hence the question.
http://paizo.com/paizo/faq/v5748nruor1fm#v5748eaic9qow
Spell-Like Abilities, Casting, and Prerequisites: Does a creature with a spell-like ability count as being able to cast that spell for the purpose of prerequisites or requirements?
Only if the pre-requisite calls out the name of a spell explicitly. For instance, the Dimensional Agility feat (Ultimate Combat) has "ability to use the abundant step class feature or cast dimension door" as a prerequisite; a barghest has dimension door as a spell-like ability, so the barghest meets the "able to cast dimension door prerequisite for that feat. However, the barghest's dimension door would not meet requirements such as "Ability to cast 4th level spells" or "Ability to cast arcane spells".

I don't really have more information than that they made the change. I just wanted to self-report so I wouldn't run into problems later.
Frankly, my preference would be to have this grandfathered in.
I'll just wait to hear from you, though. I'm hopeful we will make it all the way through this tower, which would be pretty much all of Caranthir's PFS career, and I have no intentions of using this character elsewhere.
So just let me know what you want and I'll comply.

![]() |

My guess would be rebuild when it comes to PFS, normally they only Grandfather things in that will be made legal again or with a boon.
-Posted with Wayfinder

DM Kludde |

I'll look around for a solution once I'm on a decent internet connection, but my best guess is indeed rebuild, if grandfathering is not allowed.

![]() |

Actually Caranthir, it also says that people who already have a level of eldritch knight can continue going on, grandfathered as such. So you should be in luck.
At least I have read that up somewhere.

![]() |

Really?! That would make me super happy, since I have 4 levels. Any idea where u read that? I would love to read that...

DM Kludde |

I think you're referring to this post by John Compton.
(The pity of the matter is, though, that the rule change was dated June 2013 - before we started the Emerald Spire run...)

![]() |

I think you are looking at the FAQ directly below this one, which does have the date you mentioned.

Looks like you're right. Caranthir stays a knight. Saves a lot of mess, too.

![]() |

Yay!!! I'm super happy about this, and I was getting worried not just the pain of de-leveling and then re-leveling, but whether the whole character concept was going to work how I wanted it to. That's a huge relief. :)
That said, Caranthir falls inexplicably in love with Asuna.
He dreams of half-elf, half kitsune babies.
