There was mention about leathers and something else probably being the issue.

It's too early for higher brain function. Especially without caffeine.


Alright folks, thats a wrap on the Slave Ships. Chronicles are done so roll the day jobs if you have them and I will have them posted.

As I stated earlier, players will be responsible for keeping their factions cards up to date if desired.

There will now be a brief Gen Con hiatus and we will fire up with the next scenario most likely on Sunday or Monday. Not sure what I am running yet, but I like to keep you all in suspense so it will be a surprise.

Tarek, this sheet is enough to level you. Please PM me your level up choices and I will update your sheet.

Oh, and I am no longer numbering your chronicle sheets. I keep track of the sheets I assign in order but that does not take into account boon awards so I will keep my own internal order and you guys should then number the sheets yourselves.

Good run again folks, new one will be up soon.

Rolls for Havelock


All sheets are done save for Eloriand as he still owes me a Day Job check. I have PM'd you all with the link to your sheet.

Good news, the PbP Gameday 4 has been announced. I am planning on running you folks through a scenario for the Gameday as it makes all of us eligible for some nifty boons. The only downside is that the gameday starts on 9/19/15 which means that we will likely be unable to start a board now and have the mains be ready for the Con. My thought is to hold off on a main board until the gameday to make sure we can get the Archons into a game for the Con. In the interim, I will continue to run the alt board and could run another alt board if you guys want something to do in the interim. Other options would be to try to run a game or two on a VTT while we wait for the Gameday to hit.

Thoughts?

I wouldn't mind seeing a little RP action until 9/19 to advance our sideline stories. We have not done any of that for a while. Or at least I have not.

Team,
I am up for anything. Brew and I talked about a few option to include letting me get a chance to host a module for our primary or alternate characters.

Learned a lot about the mechanics of the game a Gen Con.

We do want to run our primaries through game day. The boons alone are worth the wait.

Side stores can be cool, and perhaps we can work something out.

Great idea El. My current plan is to hold off on starting a new scenario until 9/19 for the Game Day. In the meantime, I will throw out some RP stuff just to keep things moving. In game, the Archons remain in Absalom and are free to use the Gameplay thread to RP in character while game is on hiatus. I will likely be sending stuff out via PMs as well.

This ok with everyone?

Silver Crusade

Sounds good to me. It will also give me some time to level Tarek and get him squared away


I have submitted the board for the PbP Gameday IV. You may all dot the recruitment thread here. We will be playing Six Seconds to Midnight.

Silver Crusade

posted in the new campaign. The new campaign did not show up in my gameplay list until after I posted in the gameplay section. All is good now. If everyone clicks the link above and goes to the recruitment section to dot, also try dotting the gameplay section.


Hey folks! Just wanted to give everyone an update. I will posting the new game here beginning Sunday, January 10. Feel free to move the Archons back to this board and post IC in gameday thread. The PCs are still in Tymon located in the River Kingdoms. Post any purchases before the next game here.

Also, if anyone would like to run their alts, I have two slots open in a tier 1 arc I am running left over from the gameday. I will be running wounded wisp and the new season 7 evergreen, both replayable scenarios. PM me if you are interested.

Look forward to firing up the games again, hop everyone had a good Holiday.

Silver Crusade

Can't wait to start the next campaign.

I made a few purchases that I have on my chronicle sheet.
Wand of Cure Light Wounds (Very handy item even if you can't use somebody more than likely can on you) a Wand of Mage Armor and 3 potions of cure light wounds when you can't find somebody to use your wand of cure light wounds on.

see you all in game!!

Silver Crusade

I will be looking to make a few purchases. I will have to check out what weapon upgrades will cost and see if there is any cash leftover for other items.

Silver Crusade

I am having issues viewing the pdf in drop box. I wanted to upgrade my weapon to +1 and possibly purchase a silver shortsword. I think the sword will cost 2k to upgrade since it is masterwork. Is the cost of a silver weapon twice the cost of a normal one or is it more?

You are correct on the cost of the falcata. To upgrade a masterwork item to +1 costs 2000 gold. As for silver, there are two options. alchemical silver, which costs 20 gold to add to a light weapon or silversheen, which adds +750 to costs but that includes cost for masterwork item as well. Hope that helps.

If you are having trouble viewing the PFS guide, you may download a free copy here.

I am holding off next post until the rest of the gang dots the thread, so waiting on Eloriand, Caoilte and Isador.

I would like to make the following purchases;
+1 magical enhancement to masterwork Falcata: 2000 gold
Short sword: 10 gold
Alchemical silver applied to shortsword: 20 gold


Still waiting for El, Izzy and Caoilte to post. Anyone heard from them?

Silver Crusade

Male Half-Elf Sorcerer/1 Arcane-Sage Bloodline

I talked to Caoilte on the phone, he has been slammed with things at work.


Welcome back Izzy! ALright, three down, two to go. Anyone heard from Eloriand? I would like to hold off starting the next scenario until everyone is ready to post. I will keep checking daily to see if we can muster. Everyone ok with waiting for El and Caoilte to re-join before we start?

I'm here. Looking to buy either a +1 shield or axe.


Sorry for disappearing. I got wrapped up in other stuff.

I think I am done with this format. This format is not really scratching my role playing itch anymore and I don't see any reason for you guys to drag Eloriand around. Brew, I appreciate the time you have spent making this happen and a very big thank you for doing it. Everyone else, it's been fun. Take care.

Eloriand! No!!! LOL. Thanks for playing man, sorry the format was not to your liking. I enjoyed the games.

Well, our merry band is getting thinner by the moment. Kat has also bowed out of the game for the being, leaving us with four. Izzy, Caoilte, Tarek and 'lock. I am set to run us through the Risen from the Sands, which is a module as opposed to a scenario. We can run it with four, but it might be a bit dicey. Alternatively, I can try to recruit one or two more persons, or fire up a different scenario that will be more four person party friendly. We could forge ahead with four in the module as well. Thoughts?

Oh, and Caoilte, the cost for a +1 weapon is 2000 + 300 for masterwork + item cost. If you already have a masterwork weapon, you can just straight upgrade for 2000. I believe same formula for shield, only its 1000 instead of 2000, so 1000 + 300 + item cost.

Brew
I am happy to try anything, however what is the possibility of a NPC to add balance Vs a PC?


Unfortunately, I cannot run an NPC PC per PFS rules unless it is to meet minimum table requirement of four.

Silver Crusade

I am open for either but then again that response does not help in making a decision between the two. I don't know how much prep time is needed to work up a new mod and don't want to dump more work on Brew. I am fine with continuing with our current mod. Maybe we can set a new deadline to continue? If we can get 2 more people that would be great. If we don't get a response in time, then we can continue with the players who have signed up.

I know you don't want to reveal too much about a mod but if we are low on people could you give a little insight on what will aid us in succeeding? I know you can't give specifics but it would be good to know if we need more healing, protective, offensive or defensive powers. There may be purchases we can make to aid in our survival.


I took a look at the mod again. It was designed for 4 3rd level characters, so, theoretically, the four remaining Archons should be bale to do it. It will be challenging, but could be fun as well. That being said, my thought is to forge ahead and put 'lock, Tarek, Izzy and the axeman through their paces.

Who's with me??

Silver Crusade

Male Half-Elf Sorcerer/1 Arcane-Sage Bloodline

I am up for it. Let's do it.

Silver Crusade

I look forward to the challenge

Silver Crusade

I don't know how much cash Tarek has after his recent purchase but I think we could use a wand of healing. When we had Sylorin in our group, I did not see the use in having 2 healers and modified Tarek to be more combat oriented. Tarek has very limited divine spell casting and not enough healing to get the party out of a jam. I have a few scrolls and may buy more but potions or a wand would be good to have in our personal inventory.

Silver Crusade

Male Half-Elf Sorcerer/1 Arcane-Sage Bloodline

I bought one and I think use magical device will even allow you to use I think. At Gen Con I saw a number of PCs have that and Mage armor wands to allow casters to use on the party to great effect.

Let me know which one you want or both and I will add it to your char sheet.

I'll go for the +1 shield if that's ok. I haven't done an AC upgrade in quite a while.

I would also like to add 2 potions of cure light Wounds and 2 scrolls of cure light Wounds. I think the additional cost is 150 gold

Brew, I need to recheck the rules, but if a shocking grasp spell is a touch spell being delivered by a weapon like Ahe-Dee Ate, if the dice roll is not enough to overcome AC as an attack by a sword but hits with a touch attack, does just the shocking grasp damage count since there was still physical contact or does it default to the blade attack and is a total miss?

To discharge touch attack spell, you must hit with the touch attack. With a spell like SG, if you miss, you can hold the charge so the spell is not wasted. For ranged touch attacks like scorching ray, if you miss, the spell is wasted.

Silver Crusade

I am a little slow on responding to this because I had issues viewing the drop box chronicle sheet until now. I want to be sure that I have this correct. On my sheet it lists the following:

Embeth Hound: The Embeth Travelers gitf you with a loyal Embeth hound at no cost. An Embeth hound
is a riding dog who receives a +4 racial bonus on all Climb and Swim checks in place of a riding dog’s
typical +4 racial bonus on Acrobatic checks while jumping. An Embeth hound is trained for combat and
additionally knows the Track trick. If the Embeth hound dies, cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet.
Henbane’s Token: Inquisitor Henbane leaves you with a token of her favor. This enchanted flower from
a henbane plant allows its wearer to step outside of the flow of time. As a purely mental move action,
you can destroy the flower to disappear completely one round. While you are out of time, you cannot be
affected by any new spells or effects, and any ongoing durations of spells or effects affecting you do not
continue to progress. You also cannot take any actions while out of time. At the beginning of your next
turn after disappearing from time, you reappear in the same square you left (or the closest open space if
it is occupied). Once you expend the token’s power, cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet.
Touched by Time: You have passed through time-distorting portals in Uringen, and residual magic from
that experience clings to you. You may cast either haste or slow as a spell-like ability, using your character
level as your caster level and Charisma as your key ability score. When you use this boon, cross it off your
Chronicle sheet.

Did we receive these boons or were they they boons you could select from if we won it during a game day?


You have it right copmc, you guys received all the boons.

Silver Crusade

Wow I had no idea we got all of them.

Sorry for delayed posts folks. Work has me crazy at the moment. Should be back to normal tomorrow. Hopefully.


I am sure you all have seen the paizo home page today but if not, there is a link to the Pathfinder Humble Bundle that basically lets you get a pdf every major book for about 17 bucks. Check it out if you need any core material.

Silver Crusade

Male Half-Elf Sorcerer/1 Arcane-Sage Bloodline

its a fantastic deal......I picked up PDFs to several books, let alone all the modules.

How long does it take to activate a wafinder's special ability? I am just curious if I should be telling everyone to hold their actions for a few rounds when Tarek uses his Shining Wayfinder to attempt to detect evil? Does it actually cast the spell and it takes a standard action or does it's function just work like a spell and you just activate it to get it to work?


Activating a spell completion item is usually a standard action unless the spell requires full round to cast. Detect magic is a standard actions spell so I believe it would take a standard action to activate. I could be wrong though so please let me know if you come across anything.

Silver Crusade

Male Aasimar Oracle/4th/ Spells 1st:7/7 2nd:4/4 | Hp:25| AC: 22|Perc:+10| Init:+1| Fort:+1| Ref:+2| Will:+6

That works fine for me. I will give a heads up next time I plan on using it. I assume a pyramid would be filled with all sorts of nastiness and I wanted to use the Wayfinder to alert us to any dangers. I seem to have missed the timing on this one and will share Tarek's thoughts, as an in game post, once we survive this encounter and Tarek stops screaming like a little girl.

Gents, sorry. I've been out of town and busy. But I see I'm panicked. I am following things and when I'm done panicking, I'll post again.


No worries C. Welcome back. Caoilte's panic attack wears off next round, but it will take two rounds of running to get back to the party.

Brew,
where specifically are we in Osirion? I was gong through the Inner Sea Guide. It looks like we came into the capital city of Solthis, and then went to Cassomir and then Ito by a river..which, I do not see listed or drawn the map.

Not a huge deal, but where in Osirion are we exactly, besides in a Pyramid, in the middle of a hot sandy desert?

Silver Crusade

Just checking on how long I can expect to be making lousy d20 rolls

Test: 10d20 ⇒ (4, 1, 5, 18, 16, 6, 17, 13, 8, 20) = 108

It seems an even split between good and bad. I expect to roll a hit about the same time someone kills it before Tarek's action happens.

Silver Crusade

Male Half-Elf Sorcerer/1 Arcane-Sage Bloodline

I feel for you. I made three horrid fails at Gen Con lash year that saw 'lockk die and require a rez that about bankrupted me at the time. Fortunately, 3 additional scenarios in 48 hours resolved that issue.
