[PFS] Fires of Karamoss (Inactive)

Game Master Curaigh

Welcome all. I would like everyone to respond with this post and then respond to the next post. That way all of these things show up on the first page and will be easy for me to find.

Then I need a handful of things from y'all.
Real Name (Paizo avatar is OK), PFS Number, Faction (which will show up if you have it set on your Avatar.)
Please put perception and AC plus anything else I might have to look up frequently into the sex/race slots of the character's profile (see Seaweed for an example). If you have a T-shirt or folio free reroll please say so and where you are most likely to use it (example: "Reflex save when d20 is below 10"). This is only because PbP means a lot of quiet time between a roll and a response compared to a table-top game. I want to keep the game moving, but do not want to push through someone's choices.

In order to keep things moving I may occasionally take an action for your character. Define your characters default attack option. Then also make an attack of opportunity for me. I would rather not wait two days to complete a single action.

If you are OK with me making the Perception and initiative checks I will. If not, give me three of each & I will use them in the order you rolled them as needed.

This should be set up for a reply to make it easier for you (deleting everything above). Make sure to add the appropriate modifier and the final closed bracket (])to the die rolls.

I finally made it guys. Sorry for not being very descriptive. At this moment my brain is pretty blank.

How often are we actually supposed to post outside of combat?

Purchases to be made before beginning the scenario:

Lens of detection 3,500GP

circlet of persuasion 4,050GP (10% discount used)

GP on hand 9419.5
Total = 7,550

total left 1869.5

Sorry for the delay. Absolutely forgot i was supposed to be on Paizo boards! PbP isn't something I'm used to remembering each afternoon.

Also, for some reason i thought my post had a higher Local than that-- looking back on it it's why i responded the way i did. I would go back and edit it to something valid for my knowledge but Paizo isn't letting me?

Edit window is only an hour. No worries.

I was considering a wand of endure elements, but considering that three of us have native fire resistance, and Abel has resist energy, we should be fine.

Wow I could have sworn I had one, let me check the paper sheets again.

Edit: That's right, he doesn't have the wand, because he has boons granting permanent endure elements (both hot and cold, separate boons).

PS I have several consumables that I can't actually use, such as wands of cure light wounds (10 and 50 charges), wand of lesser restoration (8 charges), and a scroll of suppress charms and compulsions (2 uses). We should establish who is best to give these to, before we get into a fight.

I believe Pinpi is the only one who can actually freely use a wand of cure light in this group non-UMD... for that bit.

Edward has a +17 or something UMD, for the wand. If Cap does not need endure elements, we should be fine, since it doesn't matter so much if Ed is fatigued, and everyone else is covered.

I have endure elements already as a wand, no need there. Plus I have pro energy for a little relief as well.

Scott, don't know if you want init or not but I would cast pro energy fire on Roger on the way down.

Two schools of thought on INI in PbP. I usually let the players roll their own iniative, if they beat critters' roll post an action. Many GMs roll all initiatives so no one is waiting for the last player to post, only to discover it is a one.

Preferences?

Scott, don't know if you want init or not but I would cast pro energy fire on Roger on the way down.

Feel free to retcon an action like that. You could even RP more with the chokers if you want to. I debated railroading everyone into the elevator, but expediency won out in an already slow medium. We can always back up if it gets pushed too fast, but slow games die :)

Seems like having the GM roll all of them would be the fastest/easiest.

I'm fine with GM rolling initiative, though I would probably take advantage of situations where I can get off Charm Monster before combat starts :), at least against single opponents.

Also no issue with GM rolling initiative or other important checks

Seems the most efficient for gm to roll

roll away

I am skipping the increased enchant on my shield as I remembered that I was saving up for a different item (also I mathed poorly it should only have costed 7,000 not 9,000)

So Bought the Shield Boss for 170, the 5 alch fires for 100, and the wand for 2 PP
leaving me with 9,986gp

Looks like we are at an APL of 7.4 with 5 players. Looks like Tier 8-9 with the four player adjustment.

*crapcrapcrap* two days, no post! You GM is suck!

Step it up GM or we will come over to your work and bug you there :-)

A couple of pre-mission things to take care of, that I just remembered. Roger has the following items that he cannot use that he would have passed out ahead of time:

Wand of Cure Light Wounds (10 charges)
Wand of Cure Light Wounds (50 charges)
Wand of Lesser Restoration (8 charges)
Scroll of Suppress Charms and Compulsions (2 uses on one scroll, would give the the highest will save person capable of using)

He will also have loaded an alchemist's fire into his new breakaway shield boss.

He will also have one of his meditation teas in his vial of efficacious medicine.

Who wants what? We got a flashbang, 2 cold grenades, and a forcefield. Also, a mighty mighty flashlight. Forcefield probably to Ryan or Tim. Abel and Dobbins are both good at ranged.

You know, Ed is keeping the flashlight. Too strong for the rest of you.

Edit: Is this a hands free flashlight? Can I clip it to my belt? Tech guide doesn't say. Does Pinpi have any glue?

If I use the force field I get to roll an extra d6 on the % die if it glitches (50% on the first use assuming it hasn't been used in a month), (since it is timeworn I think, I peeked at the spoiler after you made your checks).

It grants 5 temp hp, that restore themselves at 1 per round, using 1 charge to activate, then 1/minute after, the field fails if reduced to 0 hp for 24 hours. Prevents solids and liquids from contact, but not gasses or light.

Could probably use something sticky and call it 'glue' if Ed wanted xD

I'm ok with Abel taking the force field if he wants, I don't think I need any of the grenades (though I do have a Bang grenade of my own from a chronicle sheet).

Looks like Pinpi wants the Flash Grenade, and Ember wants the Force Field, I have no problems with either.

I will be out of town from Friday morning until Sunday evening... just in case.

Sorry all I was out of town Tuesday and am struggling to get caught up with everything. I think two folks are also at PaizoCon until next Tuesday. I will have a new post tonight though.

"What a long elevator ride! Anyone want to talk about the history of their people?

Not actually upset, just reminds me suddenly of the elevators in Mass Effect.

long elevator ride

Well, I think for Doors, I'll take 10 for traps then open them if they are clear in the future.

Let me know about any objections.

Still present, but don't really see a place to insert myself, other than exclaiming Pinpi feels like she's in a different world with all of these terms she doesn't know.

I'll mark off 4 uses of one of the e-picks.

Also Ed, your bonus to Disable Device from Tinkering applies to all disable device checks not just traps. Looks like you needed a 14 on the die, but got a 19 anyway.

I'll be damned. Nice catch!

Trapfinding works the same way

I'd let Pinpi wear the armor if he wants, I'd lose 4 pts of AC with it on.

Cap will take one of the doses of Cureall

Suli would probably be best for the boots, as Cap can also attack at range.

Armor would actually constrict me more than it'd help me. The max dex limits me.

Did Ein know if these ladies are outsiders or humanoids? That might affect which charm spell I'm about to use...

Where are we?

Ein's roll was not high enough to identify the creatures, but they are outsiders. Tig-O insists they are misbehaving robots.

Sulii you stated you were between the two, so you are in the middle of the area marked 5. The forge is through the double doors on the opposite side.

Does anyone think I should mind control Tig-0? It's really the problem child here.
