[PFS] Master of the Fallen Fortress for Newcomers (Inactive)

Game Master GM Red

I endeavor to redefine the old-time term "Cleric Speed."

On the other hand, it's a good thing we sent in the elves.

Overall, I thought this module could use a fresh coat of paint. I've played it before but this was my first time running it. I did what I could to make it more engaging, but my qualms were that it perpetuates the whole murderhobo Pathfinder Society joke, and there's a lack of additional flavor in terms of answering why the troglodytes were there in the first place, other than to make the tower their lair. Why were you tasked with going there other than to "just check the place out"? Plus the 6d6 trap.

On the other hand, it was written during Pathfinder Society's embryonic years and there are a ton of great scenarios these days.

Chronicles to follow tomorrow!

GM Red, thank you very much for running this, especially for continuing through the early departure of a few players.

I agree with you; all the ingredients are there but there's little extra to tie it together as a compelling story. Go there, kill and steal, the end.

Plus, for pbp, there's a lot of doors, which slows it down!

That being said, for my first pbp I very much enjoyed it. I've started another two since. Caz, Konner, Irvine: thanks for the game - maybe see you around in other games on the future?

So, how do 'chronicles' work then? And what of loot and xp?

A chronicle is a record of your character having completed the adventure. On the chronicle sheet is a fixed amount of gold that you earn from completing the adventure, as well as a list of items and boons. You do not automatically get the items listed on the sheet, it just allows you to purchase those items when you otherwise wouldn't be. PFS has a list of Always Available items that can be purchased by default, and chronicles add other items outside of that list.

I believe the way gold is calculated on the chronicle sheet is by assuming you sold off all your loot and divided the value equally. You don't get to keep your loot found in an adventure past the end of the game, which is why it's often a good idea to use what you find during the game.

There's a lot more information on this in the Season 8 Guide.

Here are your chronicles:

Cazithiel
Dentesila
Irvine
Konner

If there are any errors, let me know.

Konner, when reporting the table, I noticed you gave me character #4 when it should be #7. I updated your chronicle here.

Thanks FM Red it's been a pleasure.
