[PFS] GM - Mark Garringer's 06-05 - Slave Ships of Absalom Table 1 (Inactive)

Game Master Zizazat

This is the discussion thread for the subtier 1-2 table 1.

1. Aria Tamber - bard 1
2. Lucia Deedlit - fighter 1/wizard 1 accepted
3. Tori Petrana- fighter 2 accepted
4. Eryndir - monk 1
5. Lysassa - wizard 2 accepted
6. Benjamin Kuyper - cleric 1 accepted

Some minor stuff before we begin:

1. If you need to contact me directly for any reason PM here or zizazat@gmail.com.
2. Please post your PFS number on your profile if you haven't already done so.
3. Please add a line to your profile under the Classes/Levels section like this: Race Class Level HP: Cur/Max | AC: | T: | FF: | CMD: | Fort: | Ref: | Will: | Init: | Perc: | Sense Motive:

Example: Nagaji Monk 1 HP: 9/9 | AC: 17 | T: 16 | FF: 14 | CMD: 16 (18 vs. grapple) | Fort: +3 | Ref: +5| Will: +5 | Init: +5 | Perc: +9 | Sense Motive: +7

Feel free to add any other skills or consumable uses/charges/daily abilities you feel make it easier for you to track as well.

4. In the Gameplay thread there will be a link to the current maps or resources under my name. As I'm running several games there may be other links/maps listed there as well. The Campaign info will also have links to the maps. I will be using google docs as it seems to give me the best overall flexibility for quickly managing stuff. If you want to come up with an Adventuring Party name or Team name I can more easily identify your maps under my name.
5. As previously noted, I also happen to be the author of this particular scenario. It is my pleasure to run it for you and I hope you enjoy it. Any feedback you have for me about how I ran the game or the scenario itself is very welcome be it praise or constructive feedback.
6. I hope you enjoy yourselves!

Checking in

Let's party.

6. I hope you enjoy yourselves!

Also:

7. If anyone has played #05-03 The Hellknight's Feast with another CHARACTER please let me know.

Present.

I have not played that scenario.

Am I the last to check in?

I haven't played that scenario.

I haven't played The Hellknight's Feast (yet)

I have not played Hellknight's Feast either.

That makes none of us.

Except we're still waiting for Aria to check in.

Ooop.

I have not played Hellknight's Feast.

Even with a computer assited dice... what the hell!... :( sorry.

I should point out, that I could potentially afford the cost of this on my own, so if your character doesn't want to pay up, thats totally fine =]

Due to her beliefs and poor opinion of the man, Tori is not willing to pay any money to the man for the information. She won't prevent anyone else, however, from doing so.

Personally I'm sort of against paying for anything in game as it rubs me the wrong way (when scenario's call out for bribes that have to be payed instead of them adding a bonus to the check for example..but that's just me being greedy I think), maybe we could have gotten the price down with a diplomacy check or something..but with my negative diplo modifier I'm not going to be the one to try that :)

But since this will be like 50gp I'm not going to be difficult about paying my share

I dont like that merchant but i will pay my part.

Eryndir will pay it as well, considering it a lesser of multiple evils.

Sorry for the short notice but I'll have limited availability this weekend.

Enjoy your weekend, thanks for letting us know.

I'll be away most of it myself (but should still be able to check in once/day so you should hardly notice I'm gone)

Sorry i didn´t read it.

Sorry brutal work day, will update tomorrow.

If Benjamin doesn't post soon, would it be possible to bot him?

I figured we had a short break for the weekend..but it's been a while since Benjamin's last post.

Yup, that was my plan for today and then work went and got all in my way :)

I'll bot him tonight and get things moving again, sorry for the delay.

No problem, glad to see we made it through the weekend ;)

Sorry, guys, I had company this past few days and she wasn't very amenable to me spending time at my computer, ha.

Not a problem!

I am going to start the paperwork as we are nearing the end. If you have a day job please go ahead and roll it. I've got PFS numbers from everyone's profile already.

Day Job: Profession (sailor): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

No day job for Eryndir. :(

Ditto for Aria, unless Perform counts

Perform Dance/Sing/Wind: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Dayjob Craft (alchemy): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

Profession Herbalist: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

Profession Cook: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

For those of you unfamiliar with pre-season 2 PFS lore, Pasha Muhlia Al-Jakri is the former head of the Qadira faction who retired and went into hiding three years ago after controversial killing in Oppara.

I hope everyone had fun playing, I certainly had fun running it!

I should have the Chronicles filled out, scanned and reported tomorrow.

Just want to say thank you for running this, it was a great scenario and I think ranks up there in terms of my most favorite scenarios played.

Thanks for having us =]

Ditto. Had a fun time. I liked the group ...would play with you all anytime.

Thanks guys :)

Session has been reported. Chronicles have been sent, let me know if there is any problem with them.

If there is anything that you'd like to wrap up in character feel free, or if you have any behind the curtain type questions I can answer I will certainly do my best.

Thanks for playing!

Actually I do have one question.

Why did you ask is if anyone of us has played The Hellknight's Feast with a separate character? Is this a prequel to it or something?

There is a boon you can earn on that Chronicle that is basically you've already impressed Lady Darchana. So for PCs playing Sovereign Court in this scenario, who already have that boon they can be offered Lady Darchana's favor mission without having to do something impressive (like getting the client list).

It's a little link between the two that John Compton asked me to put in since they both feature Lady Darchana and a way to reward players in a (potentially) slightly different way.

Excellent, I'll make a note to play Aria into that Scenario, just to have the link =]

Thanks for running (and the others for playing) it's been fun ;)

I have a great time. Thanks for the effort as a writer for the scenario and as a GM for us players.

Thanks, it was an awesome time all around.

Very fun indeed. Thank you for the game.

A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for levels 1-5.

The metropolis of Absalom promotes commerce in its many forms, and although slavery is legal, it is increasingly common for citizens to frown on the institution. The practice becomes more questionable when an ally of the Pathfinder Society traces an attempt at supernatural surveillance through a slave. Sent as independent sleuths, the PCs must track down the source of this espionage, which takes them deep into underbelly of one of Absalom’s darkest industries.

Content in “Slave Ships of Absalom” also contributes directly to the ongoing storylines of the Liberty’s Edge and Sovereign Court factions.

Written by Mark Garringer.

----

So I wrote a thing. This is in fact that thing. I am going to run the thing via PbP. I may even take on more than one table if there is enough interest. I've got a unique perspective on the scenario and feel comfortable running it a lot. :)

PFS legal characters only, table of 6. Please be able to post at least 1/day.

Normal PbP stuff, make sure you have an alias to post under and your character is updated under said alias. Be able to provide all documentation if requested, etc. If you have Hero Lab great, you can email me your .por file, if not no worries.

Examples: Pavanna al-Azario, Cutter Wolfrider, and Gert.

Oh dear, this is quite a treat. I would be glad to join up with Ozymandias the Lion Blade! The former Taldan Pathfinder, who now holds a place in the sovereign court as a Marquis!

I am a level 5 True Neutral bard/barbarian/monk (it's legal, I just can't take any more levels in monk without an atonement) that has a few tricks involving Crane Style, Crane Wing and a boatload of AC. (Essentially, I am an AC tank in combat, and a rogue outside of combat due to my high dexterity)

I will send you my character sheet via PM.

Very much interested in this.

Count me in! I'll pick a character an make sure it is updated by tomorrow. Probably going Low Tier

I'm interested on getting on board, I have a level 2 ranged Fighter available who is also a member of Liberty's Edge. All of her info is in her profile.

Eryndir here, level 1 elven zen archer. Lower tier please.

I think this is awesome, Mark. Props for running your own scenario in PbP. I wish I had the time to play in it.

What a fabulous idea, darling. I feel my services can be of some assistance.

Zynep will be receiving a cert from part 2 of RotRL free style game soonish. She'll be level 5 with the XP received. I'll update accordingly.

"What's this about a ship? Sign me up lads!"

Level 4 Weapon Master Fighter who is no slouch in the social skills department.

Wow, not more interest in this? In that case, I'd love to bring my PFS summoner and eidolon to the 4-5 table-- they're characters I far prefer to play in PBP, where I can do their dialogue justice, and I rarely get the chance!

This is the alias; I need to update the profile to reflect current level, but he/they are PFS legal, level 5.

Just out of curiosity, I assume we're receiving PFS credit for this? I'd play even if not, but just checking.

Thanks for the opportunity, Mark!

Zynep: What is soonish? This week sometime (hopefully)?

Iason: This is for PFS credit, that is correct.

If there's still room..I'd like to join as well (Wizard - life school necromancer still need to lvl to 2).

OK, so it looks like we are only 1/2 throught Part 2. So Zynep will be level 4 for this adventure. I'll make sure she is updated by the end of the day.

I'd love to get in on this, in the lower tier. Looks like a healer could be useful, right?

I would like to play this game too with my fighter L1/ wizard L1 elf, if posible. I have hero lab buy i have to spend the money on the last table game played this weekend, it can be done tonight.

TFidelFhell: Welcome to the wait list. If a spot opens up above you I'll move you up. Thanks Evan for freeing up the spot!

To those in subtier 1-2 if you can have a completed profile and character ready for me to look at by tomorrow evening we can get a table underway.

If there is still enough interest in another subtier 1-2 I can probably start a 3rd table.

TFidelFhell can have my spot. The more I think about it the more I want to bring my investigator and she it already in a pbp. Maybe another time.

Thanks fot letting your spot to me Evan Whitefield.

Tonight i will have my character revised, ¿how do i send it to you?

Very interested in joining either tier with my Arcanist 3 (I think I won't hold people back if I'm playing up). Please let me know if something opens up! Really looking to play as much season 6 as possible. Thanks!

Submitting my gnome oracle of heavens, which is level 3.
Play down or up both fine for me.
Sheet will be updated soonish.

Jumping at the chance to play with before i run it myself and then with the author^^

So I've been pouring through, trying to come up with a good cleric concept. I'll be playing a worshipper of Thisamet, the Empyreal Lord of feasts and celebrations. A freedom-loving, hard-partying Andoran.

If you still have room Hrothgar Mountain Heart and his trusty Rhino would not mind getting in on the action. (lvl 1 druid)

For now I am going to get my hands around these tables before I start looking at taking on any more. Thanks for your interest everyone! If these go well, I'll probably open recruitment for more tables in the future!

Awesomesauce! Very excited.

Dotting for interest when open another 1-2 subtier. :)

Oh man I'm so sorry I missed this! If you start another table I'm so in!!!

This is Digger's cleric of Thisamet. Big, boisterous chef from Andoran.

Subtier 1-2 you are nearly ready to begin. I have a few outstanding questions which should be cleared up shortly.

A bard, a necromancer, a cleric, and three different types of archers. Lots of Andorans from what I can see. Interesting group.

"A bard, a necromancer, and a cleric walk into a bar..."

Just so you know, you accepted Lysassa while she was still lvl 1, I've updated her to lvl 2 just now - other then some increases in hps/save and an extra spell the only thing that has substantially changed is that she has much more knowledge skills now.

Cartmanbeck here: When you get the new table started, I'll be using this character, Kaylee the cheerleader.

This is really cool. Please mark me down as someone interested in a Subtier 1-2 table if you open up another one.

To those on the tables now, enjoy!

Charsheet updated and ready to go.

Note i´ll be on a Con from friday to monday, so probably not able to post then.

I will be getting the subtier 4-5 table started in the morning. Thanks everyone!

Woot!

If this is still on, I'm interested.
Hopefully enough for yet another table but I understand it's taxing.

Looks like that will fill up the waiting subtier 1-2 table, which I will start after one of the current games completes (estimated 3-4 weeks).

Awesome, looking forward to it! :)

Sadly Zynep was unable to make this table. We are still at a point in the game where we can recruit another player but in order to keep the APL it must be a level 4 or 5 character. If you are interested please let me know so we can get you worked into the game ASAP!

I'd love to do this Mark. I don't currently have a level 5 character available (they're all tied up in other PbP) but if you were going to do another higher tier table in 3-4 weeks I'd love to join in?

@Stemboy - I may start a waiting table for a subtier 4-5 if there is enough other interest once I fill this open slot. If so, you'll be #1 on that list :)

I will throw my name in for interest in a waiting 4-5 table. :)
