[PFS] GM Mjolbeard's 'Scions of the Sky Key' Series (Inactive)

Game Master Mjolbeard89

I'll be out all day tomorrow, and won't be able to post until the weekend. Please bot me as needed.

Suddenly I realized the boss's CMD is probably lower than its AC. It's time to travel down to Trip City!

(also, don't forget Meredith's Daze attempt.)

Hey guys. I'm posting from my phone quick just to check in. Ill be posting some responses to your questions, which are fantastic by the way, but probably not until tomorrow evening at the earliest. I'll get these wrap-up posts and chronicles out early this week.

I appreciate everyone's patience with my slower posting rate the past few weeks. My move is almost over, so that'll help at least give me some time in the evening. I hope you all will join me for parts 2 and 3 of this series!

Well, I'm staying on. Good luck with your move- use some of that giant's strength!

I'm in as well! Loving your GM style!

I'm in too! Laiashi is one of my favorite characters. Although it's looking like I may be moving soon myself-- will let the group know when it comes to it.

I'm with you buddy!

Most definitely will stay on for that. I enjoy the idea of using Google sheets as well. I might steal borrow that...

I'm game!

Awesome! Glad to hear I haven't scared any of you off with my somewhat inconsistent posting of late.

Update on moving forward: ran into some issues getting internet set up in our new place. I'm going to try to make a trip for coffee and wi-fi tonight after work, so if all goes according to plan, I should be able to get a post up tonight. If not, the internet tech is coming tomorrow morning, so I should have access at home tomorrow night.

np buddy! glad move seems like it is moving along well.

Busy day today, so I may not be able to post until tomorrow. Please bot me as needed.

I'm going to (slowly) retrain away from poison use-- it turns out that spending most of my gold on such temporary items isn't as fun as I thought it'd be. Removing the archetype will take a while, but for now I'm going to retrain my 2nd-level rogue talent from Lasting Poison to Ninja Trick.

1 retrained class feature will cost me 5 Prestige and 150 gp.

That's too bad you aren't happy with your archetype, Laiashi! Stinks that you have to sink so much of your resources into switching things around.

Speaking of resources, here are all of your Chronicles! Enjoy! Let me know if there are any errors you need corrected. Part 2 will get started early this week.

Done updating and ready for part 2!

Hey folks! Sorry for the long delay. I've been having trouble posting at home for some reason, which is especially troublesome because that's where I have access to the PDF for the scenario. I meant to put up at least one post this weekend, but no luck because of some weird issues being unable to access the site through my home network. I've heard similar things from other players, so I'm thinking something is wonky with the site. Anyway, I'll do my best to put up a post today to move us along. Thanks for your patience!

The site was really messed up on Friday and parts of Saturday. Take your time.

It was messed up for me all morning. Hopefully it's back up now.

Prestidigitation can clean people up. It may do the trick and get rid of this stinky oil. Denair can cast it at will.

Goooooo Fey Callers!

Sorry I didn't think of this before, we could have saved a lot of time, hehe.

Just a heads up for everyone. We are moving out of our home this week, then staying with friends for over a week while we wait for the closing on our new home, then moving into that. I'll do my best to keep up. If my posting becomes spotty in the next few weeks, I hope you'll understand why :). Please bot me as needed.

nice congrats on the new house and here is hoping for a painless move in!

Nice!

It looks like the map is in Slides, but I can't move my icon. Is it editable?

I'm going out of town for a few days, and can't guarantee any posts until Wednesday. Please bot as needed.

Note that many regions are unable to access the website today, and some can't access it from phones.

Sounds like the site is back to normal.

I didn't realize eidolons don't get max HP at level 1.

How do I determine hit points for my animal companion, eidolon or other companion creature with a listed number of Hit Dice?

Companion creatures receive the average result on each Hit Dice. For example, animal companions have d8 Hit Dice, which has an average of 4.5. Multiply 4.5 by the number of Hit Dice your animal companion has and round down to determine how many hit points it receives from its Hit Dice. Next, add in appropriate bonuses from its Constitution modifier, feats, and so on.

That means Denair should have a max of 13 HP with 2 HD, instead of 18. Sorry about that!

Well, guess that means that Denair is retroactively dead! Sorry!

Haha! Just kidding. I totally messed up my phantom's hp the same way in a Hell's Rebels game I'm in, so no worries.

nerf companions!!!!

GM?

Sorry. It's been an insane week. I'll have a post up moving us along tomorrow.

Are we done, or is something else about to happen? I'm wanted in a different game, but if we're not done I'll just tell them to find someone else.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Sorry again for delays.

No, we're not quite done. We have two "encounters" left in the scenario: the chase scene I've just initiated and a combat, both of which I imagine will move along smoothly as long as I do a better job of keeping on top of my duties.

On another note, I've been notified by Farshaya that life circumstances will take him away from completing the scenario with us. Hopefully this won't be the case with any of the rest of you, but if something comes up, please feel free to let me know.

Thanks again for your patience with me as I've fallen short on my duties as GM. I hope to fix the issues that have kept me from posting regularly so that I can give you all an enjoyable experience for the remainder of this scenario, as well as part 3 if you decide to stick around for it.

Usually I find the prep work to take more energy out of me than the campaign itself. Don't worry about the delay, Real Life stuff always takes priority. I'm just glad to see you back.

Ah I didn't realize there was a part 3. Count me in!

I'm still here. Life happens. It's a well-known fact. If, for whatever reason, you need someone to take over GMing, you can put out a request at the Flaxseed Lodge and someone will step up. I've done it for other GMs in the past, and it's a great community feature to take advantage of!

you've got me for the long haul buddy!

You know Willem will stick around, stubborn as he is..

FYI: The newest addition to my family is imminent. If you find I'm gone for a couple of days without warning that is the reason why.

Congrats Sar!

Congrats Saritirnen on larva number 2!

(I'm Evariel in that Bid for Alabastrine game-- it's always fun to discover that the same person is in multiple games with me.)

-Posted with Wayfinder

lol such a small gaming world!

thanks to both of you.

Sounds like Saritirnen has a new beautiful baby daughter as of 8 hours ago. A GM in a different thread I'm playing with made the announcement.

Congratulations!

Hey, GM, you there? I can't wait to kick some Aspis butt!

Yep, I'm here! New post is up for continued Aspis butt-kicking glory. Things should settle a little bit this week for me, so I think I'll be able to post more regularly again.

We're almost there, folks! Take these guys out quick! The Krihirik need your help!

To help speed things up for next time, you can ask the PCs for actions on the next 2rounds. I find this useful so the party is only waiting for NPCs and not the "end of the round", which doesn't exist.

So for example you could do something like:

INITIATIVE!
Battle at the Krihirik Village - Round 6
Bold may go
Laiashi (-12)
Denair (-9)
Willem (-12)
Meredith
Five-Knives Kalim (-2)
Saritirnen (-1)
Jann

Round 7
Laiashi (-12)
Denair (-9)
Willem (-12)
Meredith

Hey GM, would you be able to register part 3 as a Gameday 6 scenario? That way we have a chance to win bonus boons! We're going to play part 3 during GD6 anyway, so we may as well!

Alright, folks! We're all done but for the roleplaying. I'll try to get chronicles out to you all tonight or tomorrow at the latest, and I'll also be adding part 3 to the line up of Game Day VI scenarios.

Thanks for holding out through this one. It became a bit of a slog in parts, but you folks did great work. What did you think of the scenario?

Chase scene was fun Ive employed something similar in my own campaign. The end fight hmm not sure about this one but I appreciated the panther coming in for a midnight snack!

Good GMing Beardo! hehe

Well, that was a lot of fun. You were able to keep a good pace during the chase scene- I always have trouble managing a good pace in PbP.

Definitely giving Denair a climb speed next level. For now a scroll of spider climb will go a long way!

Yea, I agree this was a bit slow at times. But it happens. Should we replace Farshaya, or just keep going?
