[PFS Gameday V] GM Hmm 7-00 Sky Key Solution [Tier 5-6] (Inactive)

Game Master Hmm

I'll be out most Monday. I have to go tackle the state/county who decided I didn't send them necessary paperwork regarding health care and then I'll be working in the evening. Likely won't post until after midnight.

Okay. I'll try to be a bit more obvious to the others about the skills needed for delightful Gad, then.

Bluffing seems to be our best tactic here. Ely, want to take the lead?

Or you can just start interacting with him and try to figure out what he needs through trial and error. These are meant to be somewhat fun!

Hmm

Reading over the post, I think I can take both of these into account. ;D

I know Sparkle is gone... Where is everyone else? Should I go off on a botting spree?

Hmm

Click. Whirr.

YES!

No, I don't think so. I'll give people a chance to react first. I'll see you all later tonight. If you haven't posted by then, expect a bot!

Click. Whirr.

Bot Buddy wishes to file an injunction against his bot-unfriendly GM.

Bzzt. Whirrrr.

Meta-bot process loaded

Proceed with botting of GM?

*Pushes random buttons on Bot Buddy box*

Bot-ception!

I've been in Depositions all day and I've got a couple hours before I am home. Please bot me and ill chime in later tonight.

They're all spawning! Run for your lives!

Hmm

Today was one of those work days that make you question your entire life choices. I'll get a post up tonight.

Sorry you had a rotten day, Gerald.

That of course you posting depends on the GM actually getting time to bot everyone! Lots of family stuff tonight... Be back later.

Hmm

Lol, well in that case I might be in bed! Going toned and starting tomorrow over fresh!

I curse the name of the demon Garfield who, like Pandora unleashing the greatest evils upon humanity, visited that terrible pox upon us: the Mondays.

No botting tonight. I need to go to bed. I'll catch you all in the morning.

Hmm

Stuck in meetings. Will try to move us forward around lunch time.

Hmm

The whole party's up! Is anyone going to help Balon? That sloth's trouble!

Not as long as there are humans on the field Daeris is allowed to kill...

That song made me laugh.

Hey... if I mess anything else up (floating damage or other stuff) tell me. I'm a little frazzled today and Wednesday has only just started!

Hmm

I'm returning from my conference tonight and will be available to post tomorrow. Unfortunately, I will be completely out of touch Friday through Sunday because I had a death in the family and will be going to a funeral and visiting family. Please continue to bot me as needed, and I apologize for this uncharacteristic lack of posting.

Thanks for letting us know. I'm sorry about the death in your family, Cartmanbeck.

This is where the GM tells you that she will be up out of town in the boonies this weekend on a bike trip.

I have been told the B&B in which we are staying has wifi. However, I am going to see if I can find someone to bot the GM if the wifi this weekend turns out to be iffy. I will try to get a post in twice a day -- once at morning and once at night -- if the wifi turns out to be good.

So we're in the tail end of this thing. Has everyone been having fun?

Hmm

Take your time, Cartmanbeck! Totally understandable.

I'm having a great time. This is the first time I've played Ely/The Salty Kraken in a while, and I've never been on such a trip-happy spree. I liked her when I played her before too, but mostly I played her during the vigilante playtest and blasted through modules to try to level up and get a sense of things as quickly as possible. And modules can be pretty rough on PFS characters when they can't level up halfway through one...

I'm having fun, as always.

Condolences to your family, cmb. Thoughts are with you.

I'm about to leave on my trip. If I get a chance at lunchtime or a break, I will bot people to move this combat forward so we can keep going!

Hugs,
Hmm

Have a good time Hmm and Bret!

We just arrived -- fall colors, brisk weather and a view of a lake. Just biked 5 miles to dinner and saw tons of interesting birds, quail and some jet-black squirrels. Oh and a few deer too!

Now to look at Gameplay.... Clearly Bot Buddy will be ecstatic. It's botting time.

Hmm

Cacumattus, I hope I didn't make you too heroic, but you've shown a protective streak in the past... I figure that you wouldn't let her walk straight in the middle of three undead.

Hmm

Sorry I was late today. My sleep schedule is off again and I went to bed about 5 mins before your update. >_<

Undead are one of Daeris' favored enemies. She gets +2 to hit and +2 to damage that does multiply for a crit. She also has the Killer trait and gets +3 damage on a bow crit. So that should add +9 damage to the crit (3x2 for FE and +3 for Killer) and +2 damage to the second shot for a total of 11 more damage on the Blast Shadow.

She also have blunt arrows, but that seems more relevant for the skelebones.

Thanks for the update!

I'll include it in my next GM post.

Hmm

(Does it make me a bad person for using an ice pun?)

(Am I absolved if that critical hit confirms, or does it just make it worse?)

I won't give you the cold shoulder! And it confirmed!

Hmm

Bzzt. Whirrr

GM-bot shuffles back into his box

everyone has wifi nowadays...

Ha! Thanks for being my backup!

My goodness, I love these anchors! Each one of them... so messed up!

Hmm

I am really enjoying this leg of the adventure too!

Could it possible to slip up on Lady Arodeth and lay a trap?

Daeris does have the ability to lay traps of her own, but I'm finding that PFS games are rarely conducive to this mechanic. This looks like it might be the last fight, so I thought I would ask.

I'll be in Canada the 4th-9th. I should have internet and manage at least a post a day but will likely be a bit slower than normal.

Have a lovely time in Canada. I'll bot you if I need to do so, but I'm hoping that I won't have to. We're heading into the tail end of this thing, and I'd love to see how Orin and Sparkle handle Lady Arodeth.

Sadly of course this ooze is not very exciting. Assume that there are sticks lying around if anyone needs to improvise a club.

If you feel that your character cannot do much against it, just check in so that I can know if I'm supposed to be botting you or not. I'll try to bot people tonight just to move us forward in combat, but I just got back from my bike trip up north and may choose to collapse into bed instead. :)

Hmm

I'm bringing my laptop and the baby sleeps for like 11hrs a night + naps, I suspect I'll manage some time in the evening at least.

I had a visitor pop in on me just about the time I was sitting down to update. Sorry for the delay!

As you can all see, I chose the collapse into bed option last night!

:)

Hmm

What do you all think? It sounds like our choice is between a fight against multiple opponents, likely level-appropriate, or facing Lady Arodeth, which could either be us talking her down or, failing that, a definitely more challenging fight.

My vote is to take the risk and face Lady Arodeth to try to get her to back down with our skilled diplomacy. It won't be easy, but I'll try to reign in my urge to make fun of her corny name.

Daeris will be little help diplomatically, but she will wait for you guys to try before resorting to hostility. She does at least bonuses to Bluff and Sense Motive on humans. ^_^

*runs to make popcorn*

Agreed, we've done pretty well with the skill check stuff so far, we may be able to diplomacy our way through, and if not... "diplomacy by other means" should be fun too.

I'm down for whatever!

Ask me when we're done about when I played this in CORE with my level 3 cleric and we decided to engage lady Arodeth in combat...

I will take that story when you guys get through this!

I think that's all I can reasonably contribute. Off for the night!

Hey Gang --

That dome still hasn't broken.

We have a choice. We can either wrack up as many vault successes as we can to help the group, endlessly battling simulcra, or we can go battle more time storms after we get this wave and try to get more anchor successes. We've already done every anchor (plus one) that the scenario gave us. Still, every time storm from now on will help weaken the dome and maybe get us all free. The scenario needs both vault and anchor successes.

(Clearly, those ankylosaurs and undead have started eating the remaining anchors... That's the only explanation I have.)

We've gone really fast... Can we go a little faster? If you have to do a bunch of battles to help everyone out, what battles do you want to take on? More simulcra waves or more undead and dinosaurs? I'll leave the answer to all of you.

Your GM Slave Driver,

Hmm
