Just an FYI, there is currently a hurricane bearing down on Houston where I live, so if I lose power I may not be able to post for a few days. So if I disappear over the weekend, fear not, I shall return once things get sorted out.

Following along with the IC thread to see how this scenario plays. Have fun!

Just to be clear, I'm still with the game; I've just been having a hard time IRL and haven't been able to think of anything to post.

Hi all. Your gm has invited me to join. Looking over my play for this APL I have two option but one is an alchemist, which you already have. So I think I'll play my mesmerist. Meet Prncess Xen.

But I need an indulgence. I would really like to play but I leave early tomorrow morning for a business trip for the rest of the week. I can post in the evenings during that time. And then this weekend I'll be at Dragon Con and will likely not post at all from there. So you might have to bot me.

After that I can post at least daily. Will you have me?

sounds fine to me... I'll be gone this coming weekend at Strategicon from FRiday to Monday myself, so I'll need to be botted as well.. though I will be able to make posts from my phone, they will be short and not very 'deep' or rp heavy.

Sounds like a fun con. Dragon con is just getting too big.

I used to travel to Long Beach all the time and have attended some LA cons in the past. Back in the Living Greyhawk days. Hail Nyrond. :)

Oh my ... I played LG religiously at STrategicon... we may have played together in the past... you may know me... I played Nawhana, the rogue shadowdancer who blew up the dock in the special, sending it (along with some demons) to the astral plane using her handy haversack and a portable hole. Ah... good times!

I can only wish I had been there for that. Sounds great. :)

When I traveled out that I was always going to Long Beach. And I was there enough to start a character based in Nyrond. Played some in San Diego and even some up north in the Pale. I was at a very well organized Tri-Con in Vegas one year too. That was fantastic. Indeed, good times.

I did a couple of cons in vegas, not sure I'd call them all that well-organized, but they were fun gathering with folks from other regions... and I went to new york for one game to gain access to the drunken master prc because you couldn't get it in california (I was there for my niece's graduation, i didn't fly to ny JUST for that... I'm insane, but not that insane, lol)... I did fly out with my husband to go to a couple of Winter Fantasy cons... those were pretty cool!

Hah, I remember the Greyhawk days fondly. It's where I got my start in RPGs. I live in Texas, so it was the Bandit Kingdoms for me. Down with Iuz! Honestly, the lack of regions is the really the only thing I think Greyhawk had over PFS.

I kind of like the lack of regions, and the availability for everyone to play an any scenario or module... It sure makes a difference in quality of the scenarios... some of the greyhawk scenarios were pretty badly written... though they were far better than the Living City mods. I've never seen that kind of fluctuating quality in PFS... pfs modules are mostly well-written, well-edited and released with great production values.

I played a few games in Houston but not nearly as many as I would have liked. And I played an Iuz metaregional at Winter Fantacy one year where we had to kill a Bone Lord. It was a stunning run. We all had to commit an evil act to be able to pass through a city gate. It was for the greater good. Our paladin lost his powers and had to atone. Heavy RP was involved. He played of the Paladin actually shed tears over the decision. Luckily our cleric in that run was neutral. :).

I got to attend Winter Fantacy a few times. Twice in Forte Wayne, driving up in the snow, once in the Medowlands in NJ, and twice in Virginia when it was in some hotel in near the Pentagon.

I will be attending Strategicon from Friday through Monday... Will be able to make limited posts, but not reliably nor frequently... I will try to keep up with at least one post a day, but no guarantees. Please bot me as needed to keep up the pace of the game, thanks.

Roger, I will likely use you to make some diplomacy rolls for the party as the investigation continues :D

Hi all. I am just checking in. I am about to leave Dallas on the way to Atlanta. I have read and enjoyed the game posts and am up to speed. But I will have to go into Airplane mode any moment. I'll try to post tonight but will be at a con all weekend. Life will be back to normal for me Tuesday.

have fun!

GM? When were you in or are you still

I do sometimes, and I'm as civilian as they come (and proudly so).

Never in the military... just like the word I guess :D

I grew up military and I use the word. Does that count?

Lol fair enough

Hi all. I am back from my work trip and con. Pretty exhausted (very little sleep at cons for me) and catching up on everything. I hope to have a post up soon. I have a short trip this weekend too and will be gone Friday through Sunday afternoon. But then that's it for trips for a while. Thanks for putting up with my absence.

Just out of curiosity, can blind creatures be subject to stares/gaze/hex effects? I have not seen this come up before. It is good to know for games I run and more of the new classes being played.

I believe its me staring at the creature that does the thing but its a good question.

From the Mesmerist Pathfinder SRD reference page(here):

The hypnotic stare is a psychic effect, and relies more on the mesmerist’s focus than the target’s perception of his stare. It can’t be avoided in the same ways a gaze attack can.

Cool
Thanks

Traveling tomorrow. Posting will be sporadic at best during the day, but I should be fine in the evening.

I'll post an update to the gameplay thread in a bit, but we are almost done. Can everyone post the following for their chronicle sheet?

PFS#:
Faction:
Day Job:

Name: Princess Xen
PFS#: 350097-17
Faction: Dark Archive
Day Job: Perform Dance: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

PFS#: #40025-4
Faction: Grand Lodge
Day Job: Profession (Undertaker): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 23 I'll try my folio reroll if I don't use it in-game before we're through.

Name: JAF0
PFS#: 52335-3
Faction: GL
Day Job: if it applies when running a pregen, profession cartographer, take 10: 10 + 9 = 19 ... if not, no worries.

Day Job: Slight of Hand(Take 10)+18+2=30 (*Thieves' Guild offers +2 to steal things and use for day jobs/included in roll)

Really? My Thief will really appreciate this, if so!

Yep! For only 4 prestige you can join the guild. It's in the Pathfinder Society Field Guide, page 62.

I suspect it also requires that you own the field guide.

I know that and did it - but are you saying the +2 bonus to steal things it grants ALSO applies to Day Job rolls? THAT'S the part that would be new to me.

I don't know why it wouldn't, as presumably that is how you use your day job, by stealing things. Sure there are other things you can do with sleight of hand, but that isn't in the spirit of the Thieves' Guild which specifically only gives the +2 bonus to steal things.

So we are done then? I guess there will be a part 2 of this one. Thanks much for running!

Yup! All done. There are certainly some unanswered questions!

Day Job: Profession (Undertaker), folio reroll: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (12) + 15 = 27

Since this game is part of the gameday, you all have a chance to win a boon!

If you roll a 19 or 20, you get a boon! I picked the roll order by the order in which you posted your PFS info above

boon roll for Xen: 1d20 ⇒ 10
boon roll for Roderick: 1d20 ⇒ 15
boon roll for Kali: 1d20 ⇒ 7
boon roll for Jaf0: 1d20 ⇒ 7
boon roll for Fade: 1d20 ⇒ 4
boon roll for Rogar: 1d20 ⇒ 12

No luck for anyone this time! Just waiting on Rogar's info to report.

Thanks again running. Best of luck to everyone in their other games for a boon.

I had a great time playing with everyone, and I just want to commend the group on their excellent handling of the different encounters. I hope to play with you folks again. Cheers!
