PFS No Response from Deepmar (Inactive)

Game Master Nefreet

Activating the discussion tab. You will have time to make purchases before we start so please let me know any that you plan to make here.

I should have Gameplay active with a first post later today.

I have less then 1000 GP left at this point, so unless I decide to get a potion of fly (which only lasts 5 minutes), I'm not very likely to purchase anything at this point in time.

Sounds good. Once we have everyone checked in here, I'll let Revvy know he can shut down the Thornkeep campaign.

Buy a scroll of Fly instead, and I can read it for you.

It's only 375gp, and I use my Caster Level when reading scrolls (9th).

In fact, anyone can buy scrolls with that in mind, if you want.

Divine or Arcane, I can take 10 on UMD for a 30, even in combat.

Tempting, I could have 2 then, for 9 minutes each if needed, probably a good idea since I don't carry any ranged weapons.

Gameplay is now active for introductions.

Other things for the GM:

I always act during surprise rounds, and I can take both a move action and a standard action when I do.

I'm a Bloatmage, so I have anywhere from 6-20 extra spell levels per day. I never go into a homicidal rage.

I have Send Senses 10/day: standard action, place a scrying sensor within 110 feet that I can see or hear through (not both), 1 round duration, functions as clairaudience/clairovoyance (basically it's for placing at the end of corridors to see what's around the corner).

I can always Take 10 on Knowledge (Arcana) and Spellcraft, even in combat.

I can cast Identify as a swift action 2/day.

Extended Mage Armor and Darkvision after I'm done memorizing spells at the start of the day.

I cast Life Bubble as a 3rd level spell, and Break Enchantment as a 4th level spell.

I am under the constant effects of Deathwatch.

I have unspent First Aid Gloves (in case the Life Oracle goes down).

And... I think that's it. Though I'm also a walking scroll library.

You also likely have the highest HP in the group.

O.O

"Well, hrm hrm hmph, it's a good thing I'm a DOCTOR!"

Alas, we don't have anyone named Jim, so there will be little chance for "Damnit Jim, I'm a Doctor, not a..."

I'll purchase a single scroll with 3 castings of Haste on it, and apply my Master of Trade discount for 10% off (1012.5gp), pay an NPC Wizard to copy Stoneskin from their spellbook (240gp), and buy 500gp worth of granite and diamond dust (500gp).

Total purchases: 1752.5gp of 1758gp

I'm going to go ahead and buy two separate scrolls of Fly for 750 gp, out of Marcel's 770 gp.

I'm here! Still on vacation so posting will be sparse until I return next Sunday.

Need to update, but not making any major changes to build like retraining.

As usual:

-Life Link on everyone.
-Shield Other on Samuel and Grimdoc.

Also, Calistan is mute and deaf due to his deaf curse bestowed on him by Pharasma at his birth. He can read lips in multiple languages, but cannot speak.

Hey guys, just checking in. Apologises for being absent a few days. I was running my convention in Scotland this weekend so it's been abit of a crazy one!

Looking forward to this. I'll tally my gold and see if I can grab an adamantine weapon too.

Calistan, you leveled to 7th right? After the last thornkeep...I thought you were already 6th unless you are on slow track or still need status line updated? Since this is a 7-9 AP, so just checking.

No worries. That means everyone is here! A heads up on the con front that I'll be running a convention this weekend so there's a good chance I won't have a post Fri-Sat-Sun this week. If I can squeeze any in, I will.

Just noticed that as well in looking over everyone's stats.

Calistan should be 7th, the last module was 6-8, unless he became slow track.

As posted above: "Need to update, but not making any major changes to build like retraining."

Calistan is 7th level now!

As stated above (with new stuff!):
-Life Link on everyone.
-Shield Other on Samuel and Grimdoc.
-Everyone gets one free reroll from my (new) Misfortune revelation. Use it when you like. I will keep track if you expended it or tell you if I can't use it, but my character doesn't use swift actions very much.

Sorry for the bunny trail, Cal.

No problem! :D

Should have something up today or tonight folks. I haven't disappeared. Was a good but busy con last weekend.

Leaving now to close the family cabin for the winter, outside of cell phone reception, but I should be able to post again tonight.

If combat ensues, I'll just read my scroll of Magic Missile for

[Dice=Magic Missile]5d4+5[/dice

Unless we face an apparently strong foe, in which case I'll use 3 points from my Blood Pool to Haste the party.

Alas, my awesome critical is likely wasted :(.

I just played my Swashbuckler in a PbP. I'll have to spoiler my parries and ripostes going forward. That was so much text to type and not be relevant.

Our GM ran into a rules issue guys, he rolled a nat 20 against my Parry, but the parry is a higher roll. He PM'd me about it and I said I had no issue with the attack hitting since he cannot find a consensus on the issue on the forums.

I was under the impression that he would have posted by now, perhaps he thought he did and forgot.

A natural 20 doesn't matter.

If your Parry was higher, you parry.

I agree with the esteemed Doctor on this. I would treat it the same as old Crane Wing. You could negate crits with that as well.

Anyone heard anything from GM?

Sorry folks. Just completely slammed with work. Working on getting a post up today.

Shameless bump.

Shameful bump. :D

Sorry again folks. Heavy work continued last week and I've also been sick all week. Trying to get some rest this weekend to recover, but will have a post up soon.

Hey, GM? If it works for everyone, I can take over this game from you. I've already played it once anyways. Saves me spending a GM Star on it. And I already own it.

Up to you and everyone else, though.

And it wouldn't be until probably mid-December, after my finals.

I am ok with either plan. I know real life can sometimes take over, so no need to add to the load if the GM needs a break.

We'd probably have to restart if we lost Narsius as a player, since we've already done one fight.

I don't think so, Dylos. You can swap into another GM without restarting if you lose them. It happens on PbP fairly frequently, sadly.

@Nefreet: I'd be up for either choice as long as the game gets going. If a break is needed for a few weeks, then we can break and resume in mid-December.

Yeah, you can drop a player to become the GM. I've seen it happen before.

Pending Michael's approval, my last final is on December 16th, so I could start GMing on the 17th. My ambitious plan would be to finish by February, since that's when the next semester begins. With only 4 players, I'm thinking that's actually really possible.

Was any decision made? Keeping GM or switching? I had Grim signed up for a trio of scenarios in February I am hoping to make.

I was figuring since I can't start GMing until another week and a half anyways that if our current GM comes back he'll have that much time to say something.

Right now I just don't have time to look anything over, but when the semester finishes I plan to tackle this with full attention =).

Has our prior GM just vanished, or just from this game?

Hope he's ok.

I hope so too. I had not seen any posts on his other aliases since about the same time.

I'm going to a Convention this weekend (GaymerX in San Jose, if anyone else is going), and when I get back I'll start prepping and making maps and slides. I should be good to go Thursday.

It may be a bit of an off week to start. I'm GMing Thursday and Saturday at my local game store, and have a couple graduation parties to go to that weekend, but I should be able to post every day.

Sounds good Nefreet! I live in Indiana at the moment, so no California convos for me at the moment.

I'm in Cali, but I killed my car, and San Jose is far, so no cons for awhile.

Maybe by the time Modesto con comes by...

OMGosh, Dylos, I wonder if we've met before? I missed StocktonCon (or whatever it's called) but was initially supposed to be there. I regularly go to PacifiCon, DunDraCon, and KublaCon. Sometimes I game in Hilmar. I live in Sacramento, and my job sometimes takes me to Modesto, Turlock, and that area.

I think we've played together, I believe you're listed as the GM in one of the sessions I played at DunDraCon.

I mainly play in Manteca and Modesto, been to Hilmar a few times.

Yea, you GM'd for this character at DunDraCon 2014 for parts one and two of glories of the past.
