Adeah's pretty good at Craft (alchemy), so if she's asked to whip something up she can do that. Might be safer just to buy it, but that's an option. I'm with Awen in that I don't see how spreading rumors accomplishes the goal, so I still like the "lace the food" option.

A note about aristocratic society or Kajarrit society or Plane of Fire society or Efreet Society:
A host vouches for his guests. Spreading rumors about a guest is spreading rumors of the host. Inviting someone who would spread such rumors implies the host would spread such rumors also. Forcing a host to come to the defense of a guest, implies said host is an ally of said guest. Even though such an alliance ends when the event does, someone will always remember when person H came to person G's aid. Favors may be owed/paid(or worse, imagined favors may be owed/paid.)

So maybe we insult his enemies/rivals, forcing him to vouch for them and come to their aid? That could make things a little rough for him.
We can Alchemy some stuff up and slip it into food/drink. Milt can diplo/bluff the rumors, we can drug the musicians. It seems like the goal is to avoid a fight. I was also thinking if we can dig up some info on how Basira feels about certain factions (Know local to Gather info maybe) and tell the parties the actual truth on his views.

Sai: I only took the rebuke personal insofar as that it showed me how badly I had erred. No offence taken on my part, and I wanted to be sure that I had apologized for any offence given to any of you in any way.
That being said:
Awen has nothing that he wishes to do before the party. We didn't bring it up in gameplay, but if I can't keep my weapons, I will leave them at Yasmines along with Grog and Cuchulainn. I will retain at least my dagger, spell components, Thieves tools, and all armor permitted.
Upon Entry, Awen would like to remain with Sai and whomever else wishes to join us. If an opportunity presents itself, Awen would "disappear" either before entering the main room or soon thereafter. He is not one for mingling!
During: I really have no idea where Awen fits in here. He can help with the diplo to spread rumors if you wish, but he would still not be a part of drugging the musicians or the guests.
One idea I have is that I can summon a creature from a hidden spot in order to cause havoc among the guests.. or even send Grog through the dining hall.. but that is up to whatever you guys think is best.

Hey folks. I'm going to off the boards today and should be back tomorrow evening at the latest. I'm sorry for any delays that may cause.

Awesome!
I have nothing in the scenario to make this work, which means I get to make it up. More of this please. Of course, getting Grog in could be a trick, but let's take that to the guards and move forward.
I have a freelancing thingy on Monday, and probably will not make it to a computer. Please feel free to RP interactions with the guests however you deem appropriate. :)
Aye, we are.
Sorry all.
Massive power out on Friday.
WSU graduation, Farmer's Market & Ren Fair on Saturday.
Family outing & collapsing exhaustion Sunday.
I'll be back on Monday with a better post, but enough slaves were freed to allow a second attempt to spread rumours by Sai.
I shall begin on Chronicles this week.
A reminder that Basira agreed to go easy on you (no lethal damage), but will make it look good, so long as you do as well. :)
|
|
I fully remember he said that and I expect to do the same... I even plan on fighting defensively. No lethal damage, even if he changes his mind and decides to do lethal damage to us. It was never the job to kill him, just make his night the worse night of his life. Bruising should work to fit that bill.

Not Quite Ka Kaw I just expect it will take me a while. :)

I'm actually surprised there isn't one. Wayfinder doesn't really have a lot of bells and whistles-- with the right legal permissions, a good iOS developer (or even a mediocre one like me) could whip one up in a few weeks, tops.
Unless, the problem isn't with Paizo but with Apple. I know Apple's TOS is very picky about what apps are allowed to do, particularly with how they interact with other things-- iPhone apps are supposed to be pretty strictly "sandboxed," so maybe posting to an external website is a no-no.

Sometimes when I quote a post, I delete extraneous stuff to shorten it. "Posted with Wayfinder" was some that I recently deleted. It would be interesting to know if that might be the issue.
I will test this theory when we only have three posts left on a page. >:)

I delete "Posted with Wayfinder" from my own posts a lot, particularly when I have to edit it for some other reason, so it seems unlikely to me that that's what happened. But I dont know.

Is there an item that grants blindfighting or darkvision? If so it might be worth buying one and lending it to the humans in your group during introductions when happy sticks (cure wands) are being shared. :) I have some fire protection devices to hand out on my fire wizard.
|

There are goggles you can lend out at 12k a pop (or 20k will give them superior darkvision). Or buy a wand of darkvision. I've considered building a character around exactly that, but when you combine the expense of giving your allies darkvision with the number of monsters that have it already anyway, I don't know how useful that'd be.

And the problem with how darkness actually works. It's not the instant inky darkness of previous versions. It now just lowers the light levels 1 step, which makes it ineffective quite often.
^^^ THIS! I think that this is the first time that Awen has used this ability since very low levels because when I found out Pathfinder had nerfed Darkness, I just wrote it off and never really went back and looked at it again. I went in thinking of Drow darkness from D+D, and got socked with a big old nope-coaster of rule changes.
Because of that, I never really looked at things to help out the rest of the team.. but damn 12 grand is a lot to spend! If I do anything, it would be a wand.
BTW:
I believe that I owe all of you an apology for my erratic posting this week. It has been a rough couple of weeks on the homefront, and this week has seen a number of upsets to my normal schedule. Hopefully, things will have settled out and I can return to a more normal pace, both in life and in my gaming.
No apologies necessary, family first.
I'm glad things are improving. :)

Most of you probably have a reroll.
Nivik had one of these already and he is also the only one (I think) who needs a chance to level up. So here is your chronicle sheet.
I am leaving for PaizoCon in a day. I may not get these done before I leave. If anyone wants to take this character to a local game you have about a week or so, please feel free.
Until then here are the basics:
out of tier: 1995 gp (slow), 3990 gp (normal)
tier 8-9: 2705 gp (slow), 5410 gp (normal)

Ohhh! We played this at high tier! For some reason, I was thinking we were low. That tells me we will be high tier for the next half as well, so I guess I'll take full credit for this mod, and get to 8th level! Rather than play the next one still as a 7th!

How about the Mephit? (Unless there's a better option within the scenario?)
which would succeed?
Milton will be spending 2PP to get a wand of CLW
Milton will be spending 6k gp to upgrade his ring of protection to +2. He did not enjoy actually getting hit this scenario!

Back from the holiday! What are the odds we'll have this one done in time for GenCon?
This did seem to go long when I look back on it, but that is typical in RP heavy scenarios with the PbP format. Assuming 1 post per day, a typical conversation can take weeks because each question takes two days (1 to ask, 1 to respond). Painlord's guide to PbP is a good thread to check out for this reason (linked in my profile). I think that was less of an issue than encountering the proverbial PbP door. We had several times when we had three options and two people would agree on which one (I like 3), and person number three added a 4th option. This is less of an issue in the next part, which has more combat.
Back from the holiday! What are the odds we'll have this one done in time for GenCon?
When is GenCon exactly? I know August, but not which weekend. No I will not be there.
I think the odds are good. Though we could have chosen to solve any of the previous encounters with combat, we went the route of Gather Info, Diplomacy and Barrister. It is good for characters like Milton and the investigators. People rarely have a hard time choosing actions in combat. Don't let that stop you from
If you do not want to continue for the next game, let me know. I want to add a few of the RP things that can only be reached through a Faction Mission. I will then post the sequel's introduction (keeping the same thread). If you have levels to add, there is no rush. Please have them done before the first encounter comes along.

I'm sticking with you here. This upcoming one will level me. This is just a two part series, right?
-Posted with Wayfinder
Exchange Faction leader Aaqir al’Hakam and a high-ranking partner Guaril Karela both give missions. They both want to recruit contacts on the plane of fire, but they disagree on the methods.
I found the recruit's responses to the various offers intriguing. If this sort of thing doesn't interest you, you can ignore them.
Carlin’s also an active criminal who Zjarran officials would dearly love to arrest if they knew the extent of his exploits. Convincing him to describe his extended resume and passing that information to Yasmine helps establish Exchange faction PCs as upstanding future citizens on the Plane of Fire, which promotes Aaqir al’Hakam’s agenda.
If the PCs instead antagonize her they can promote Guaril Karela’s agenda of establishing the Exchange as a protection racket or otherwise aggressive force that is better to placate than oppose. Taking this latter tact requires that PC to convey his affiliation while antagonizing Malini and succeeding at a DC 20 Intimidate check. She might still fear the PC if he fails the check, but it’s only threatening enough for her to contact law enforcement authorities later, not respect Guaril’s strength.
the document, Yohai offers to escort them out. As soon as they are in the airlock, however, she addresses the PCs, advising them that Soheila is incompetent and that there is no way that Qalkami would concede to her demands. Frustrated at her incompetent superior, Yohai explains that if Soheila were to die, Yohai would not only be empowered to sign Qalkami’s contract, but she would also be happy to do so. If the PCs agree, she explains that in order to deny involvement, she’ll need to depart the premises before the attack occurs.
Regardless of whether the PCs make an arrangement with Soheila or Yohai, members of the Exchange faction can pursue a trade arrangement between the Cerulean Wave and the Exchange. If successful, the naga furnishes the PC with contact information that can be provided to the Exchange for further negotiation, promoting Aaqir al’Hakam’s agenda. ** Members of the Exchange might also seek naga tears that they can provide to Carlin Nestor in exchange for his services. Both nagas are amused by the request, and either one agrees to provide a few tears if the PCs can evoke them with a moving performance.
EDIT: Correct, a two-part series.

The recent post he made had a link with everyone's chronicle, at least from what I opened.
-Posted with Wayfinder
If I missed you at PaizoCon I am sorry.
However... I am back! S what's next?
Oh yeah: Chronicles
This link should take you to the folder with everyone's chronicle. It looks that way from here (which is not the computer I shared them from). If you only see one chronicle, try going up to the folder. It is entirely possible I uploaded the wrong file, or mixed up the names on the files. Please let me know if you are unable to get your chronicle.
EDIT: I think Milton needs his mailed, and forgot to do that. Again: fixed tomorrow.
Hey Venture, I thought I told you I was going slow when I sent you my PFS number in a PM. Sorry if I didn't mention that. Any chance you can correct the chronicle sheet?
Sorry about that. I knew two people had mentioned slow track, but I went through the thread a couple of times and couldn't find the second person. I FORGOT about the PM.
Yes I will get it fixed tomorrow.

Ok I got it. For some reason, every time I clicked the link on my phone it would only show Nivik's sheet-- I had to open the desktop version of Google Drive to see all of them. Thanks!

Fendel's chronicle updated.
Milton's chronicle mailed.
Let's get started... :)
