[PFS / GameDay7 / GMGLYN] Mod Gallows of Madness (Inactive)

Game Master GHembree

Gallows of Madness includes three adventures for level 1-3.

I am running Chapter 1: A foul Breed as part of the Gameday 7

I would like to continue with the same group through Chapter 2 & 3 after part 1 is completed.

This is the discussion thread for those signed up for Gallows of Madness chapter 1: A foul Breed Classic PFS.

dotting.

If I play a level 2 character, will it mess up the level progressions for the next two installments?

Tofang is actually level 1. I must have typed 2 instead of 1.

His character sheet is also not up to date yet as he is 1.2 now so I need to spend some gold.

Hope that is ok. Expected to have time until aug 13.

Miteke, if you plan to play in all three with the same character you will need to slow track at least one maybe two parts. Each part is worth 3xp.

Tofang - OK

Hmm. I might have to do the same thing. I'm at 2.0. How much xp if we go slow track?

Tathane - Any chapters that are slow tracked will give you 1.5xp each.

Note, there is a fourth bonus chronical if you apply the first three to the same character.

Should be fine with regular.

GM, I am thinking about changing the character and creating a new character specifically for these modules.

Would it be ok to change the character still? Sorry!

That's what I plan to do. Create a new character for this. Looks like we need a front liner. I think I'll go Kitsune barbarian / eventual dragon disciple. Time to get to work.

Tofang & Miteke - I’m fine with swapping to a new character, since we haven’t started yet.

Ok. So if I do the first two chapters slow, I'll gain 3xp total and then go from level 2 to 3. Then I can still play as a level 3 character for the third chapter, ending with 3 more xp and that will bump me to level 4 after we are done.

That seems fine to me.

Tathane - Correct.

Hi guys, so here is the new character I will play:

Character's Name: Aryas Aatish
Chronicle #: 2
History: Confirmation
Player's Name: noral
Faction: Scarab Sages
PFS #: 314670-5
XP: 1
Prestige: 2
Fame: 2
XP TRACK: Normal
Day Job roll: Perform(Sing)

And here is Aryas profile.

Aryas - DawnFlower Dervish, nice I have an 11th level halfling one that is my favorite characters to play.

I see you dumped strength, you need to watch your load carried and should add your carrying capacity limits to your equipment carried section.

Strength Score - Light Load - Medium Load - Heavy Load
7 - 23 lbs. or less - 24–46 lbs. - 47–70 lbs.
8 - 26 lbs. or less - 27–53 lbs. - 54–80 lbs.

Currently, Ayras is carrying 25 lb and has no clothing other than armor, no spell component pouch, no rations or water (water and food is not a problem for chapter 1 of this mod since you'll be in a town). He does have a masterwork backpack so he uses +1 on the carrying capacity chart.

Also, there is a ruling you should be aware of that Dawnflower Dervish can't inspire allies using other forms of performance. Dawnflower Dervish Ruling {link}

Thanks a lot GM!

Uups. Never thought about clothes to be honest. ;-)
And food and water would be nice too.

I will reflect the additional purchase of rations and will have medium encumbrance.

I know that Inspire courage and so on will not work!

If you have any build advice I am very open to suggestions. ;-)

Dotting. Will be putting together a kitsune barbarian and pick an image soon using this alias.

The map is up. See the link at top of the page or here {link}

Are we starting now ow waiting for August 13? If now, I'll step it up and finish the character write up ASAP and start contributing.

I was letting the PCs get knowledge checks and introductions out of the way. I will probably go ahead and start the mission briefing by the Mayor this coming week and give the characters a chance to ask questions. That way you can start the mission on August 13. So, as long as you have the character ready to play by the 13 that will be fine.

Looking at other PBP for Gallows of Madness chapter 1 the shortest run was 10 weeks. I want to make sure we complete it within Gameday7 which is 15 weeks total.

I will keep up with whatever post rate you have, and I am sure we will meet that timeline.

Player's Name: miteke
Character Name: Hekk
Class/Level: Barbarian 1
PFS#: 133512-19
Faction: The Concordance
Day Job: Dance: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

official start Monday 13th, starting with the orchard.

We seem to be back for now!

Please check in to let me know that everyone is still here!

Checking in!

Still here!

here

me too

Man that was a rough week+ for the boards. Still fails on occasion, so not fully stable. I have been trying though. Fingers crossed.

GM, just one question: Was there anything else in the mausoleum like buildings and so on that we could have searched? It had the feeling we left too early but that might have been ok.

No just the ant encounter, the demon bile patch, and yellow foot clue.

Thanks!

GM, I charged the beast but am not sure if that was allowed with the chair.

So just ignore the attack if there was anything hindering Aryas. ;-)

Thanks

Is Aryas at -1 after the successful AoO? Or still staggered?! ;-)

Aryas would be at -1 hp.

Ok! Thanks :-)

Part 1 of the Gallows of Madness is wrapping up. Runtime 11 weeks with site downtime.

I have Tathane slow tracking (1.5xp) and everyone else regular tracking (3xp) is that correct? I'll get the chronicles ready soon.

Everyone please roll a d20. On a 19 or 20 you win a boon for the game day!" I'll get that all reported, too.

Is everyone planning to continue for Part 2 & 3?

Yep, would love to continue.

Yes I would love to continue. We get 3XP (1.5XP) for what we just did? That was barely longer than a regular scenario. Why do we get so much XP for that?

Anyway, I'm at 2.0 XP right now. If I do 1.5 this time and 1.5 the next time, that will bump me into level 3 as we start the 3rd part. On the other hand, if I do 3xp now and then 1.5xp for parts 2 and 3, I'll be level 3 for the both of the next two and I'll bump up to level 4 when we finish part 3. The advantage of doing it this way is that I'm at level 3 for two parts.

I can go either way. What is your recommendation?

Most modules are 3xp, this just happens to be a 3 part module. It may seem like it barely longer than a regular scenario, but we have had 6 combat encounters, 4 roleplay encounters, 1 trap encounter, and bypassed some encounters. a Standard scenario has about 5 encounters normally. So you have earned the XPs.

Currently, Tathane is 2nd level with 3xp.

Yes, Tathane will need to slow track for pt 1 or pt2 in order to play all three. It doesn't matter which, I would probably go for the level up earlier.

Yes, love to continue.

Boon Roll: 1d20 ⇒ 9

Yeah, I think leveling up now then going slow for the next two is best. So I'll do normal progress this time.

boon: 1d20 ⇒ 15

1d20 ⇒ 6

boon roll: 1d20 ⇒ 14
