[PFS-Online Gameday] The Cypher Neb Dilemma (Inactive)

Game Master Nebten

In the shadow of the cyclopean Cyphergate that spans Riddleport's harbor, Pathfinders find themselves embroiled in a dangerous plot of deception that one could only find in Varisia's infamous pirate port.

And Welcome to PFS Online Game Day's Cyphermage Di-lem-ma!

In the red corner we have: Mike (Tank 2), Gerald (Inquisitor 1), Eric (Druid 3), Eric (poker player?) (Cleric 1), Mihajlo (Ranger 1), & Rick (Oracle 2)

Vs Neb da GM in the blue corner!

Ground Rules::

* When we are ready to "move on" from an encounter/environment I will need at least 2 people to agree on a course of action before moving on with said course of action.

* I use group initiative. I will roll each PC's initiative. Then I will average my creatures initiative modifier then add it to a d20 roll. Whom ever is before the creatures' initiative will get to act first, then the creatures, then everybody can then go. It then flip-flops from there. The order in which you post, will be the order in which you act. This speeds things up on the boards since you don't have to wait for the dwarf fighter to go so that you can act.

* I will roll saving throws, AoO's and some skills depending on the situation. If there is an error with the roll, feel free to let me know.

* No meta-gaming, faerie whispering or telling people what they should do during a battle or conversations. Only short phrases should be used on your turn during combat.

* I ask that you do not read spoiler tags that are not in your name.

I'm going to keep a link to the battle map at the top of the page. I use a grid map. You can either move yourself or I'll move you if you give me the coordinates in which you want your PC to be placed.

Go ahead and post here under your PC header. Make sure you have your entire sheet in your profile. If there is some strange ability you need to explain to me, please explain. Also post your PFS # here too.

AFK notices: October 11th through the 13th, I will be slow in posting as I'll be at a destination wedding.

October 25th through November 2nd, I will be on a road trip with no ability to post. I typically run games fast, so I don't see this being a problem in finishing this scenario by the new year.

That's it for now. Any questions, feel free to ask.

Let's rock!

Hello all, looking forward to play with you guys. Haraldir here managed to survive (albeit barely) 2 adventures run by GN Nebten, so I can tell you one thing - it's gonna be "interesting" :-)

Haraldir PFS is # 19310-1 and I think that my Char sheet is OK.

I will be travelling from Africa to Europe between 4th and 5th of October, with a change-over in Frankfurt, so depending on delays I may be "out" during these 24-36 hours (but usually I can find cheap/free wi-fi on airports).

Hey there, Haraldir! Nice to see you on the game forums again!

Well Aerodus, I just had to make sure if E-dog was sitting at my table or not ;).

There are some errors on your character though. You have 1 too many points for your attributes. You probably want to make your Dex a 12 instead of a 13. That will give you a 20 point buy and still keep your bonuses the same.

Also the standard tiefling (which it looks like you are playing) does not have access to the trait Soul Eater. Only the Demon-spawn heritages have access to this race trait. I would recommend finding another trait instead of re-working your character to change his race.

To everybody else, we will be using the Primary and Secondary Goals to achieve Prestige points for this game. Good news is that the goals are really easy as long as you follow the mission plan.

On a side note, this game will probably be followed by a number of different people (like Ms. Luisila here). So no pressure, but you'll have an audience. =v)

Hi everyone,

Eric (Ashiel, just call me Ash - the lvl 3 fire (ash sub-)domain pyromanic gnome menhir savant druid)- not the poker player, even though he also doesn't play poker ;) here.

I'm new to pbp and to be honest I have no clue on how to get one of those grey lines at the top of the post (with stat info) or how to do one of those show/hide pieces of text. I assume I should post character info under my account under the char nr. I want to use in this adventure or is there some other place to put it for an online game?

I also have no clue on how to use the dice roller..which I assume might come handy to know how to use at some point during ;)

For your information, I'm in Western-Europe (and assume that most of you will be in the US?) so even though I might be able to post a few times a day on most days I assume that due to time differences practicaly it will come down to once or twice a day

PFS nr. is 13475 - 8

Also, I do get called E-dog a lot...

Also, I fixed the Dex, but I am not sure I understand why I needed to... Did it cost more than 4 points to bring CHA from 8 to 12?

Also, the Soul Drinker trait is actually from the Cheliax faction.

Oracle checking in. Funny mentioning poker, I was actually an amateur small-stakes tournament grinder when online poker was actually viable in the US. For a minute there I thought somebody knew me. :)

Aerodus: It costs 5 points from going 10 to 14, then you add in the -2, and you end at 12. Thanx for the head up on the Soul Drinker, I didn't see that. Learn something new every day.

Bonus news: Cheliax doesn't actually have its own language. So you can pick another language.

Hagrym:
Traits: Divine Warrior is only for worshipers of Iomedae per the Advanced Player's Guide. If you are citing a different source, please let me know.
I believe the second trait you re taking are Glory of Old, not Warrior of Old (which is an elf only trait).

Steel Soul: Does not give give a bonus to Poison saving throws. Please adjust.

Skills: All Knowledge skills are based of Intelligence Modifiers, not Wisdom. Please adjust accordingly. Yes you can add your wisdom modifier when identifying monster's weaknesses, but that should be a circumstantial modifier.

Ash: You need to post your entire character sheet in your profile. Look under your team-mate profiles for examples.

How your format your text can be found at the bottom of the text box which you type messages. Click the "show" button for the different formats.

Narvik: Time to pick a new faction ;). Also, your AC should be 15. Chain shirt gives you +4 to armor bonus to AC, you have only +3.

Another board rule I forgot to mention, if we are in combat and you do not post your action within 48 hours, I reserve the right to either do nothing or go full defensive.

Hyia Luisila! It's always good seeing you girl :-) Mine, mine, you are a big girl now - level 5 eh? I've been "out" for quite some time, currently I am working (under a project assignment) in Africa, but going back home every 6-8 weeks. Took me a while to properly "establish" everything here, but now is better.

@Nebten - what? No issues on my char sheet? Aw, I feel "left out" :-D

Grazden, you have two Combat traits selected. Please change one to a non-Combat trait.

With Defender of the Society, it grants a +1 trait bonus to armor. I don't know where you are getting a dodge bonus from. Therefore your Touch AC should be 11 and Flat Footed AC 18.

Haraldir, your guy was audited a year ago with no games played in between. I think you are good.

The intro post will be on the 5th. Ash, make sure your character sheet is up by then.

Any questions, let me know.


Aha! Thanks Nebten. This is what happens when you input things into herolab manually :).

Not to be outdone by Luisila, I just wanted to drop in and say hello to Haraldir. Hey man!

Also wanted to say that you guys have an awesome GM and should count yourselves lucky. I learned a lot of my GM chops from this guy. And...he is correct, you will have an audience, as I ran this for Neb and am keen to see how much better he runs it than I did.

Happy gaming!

Very, very good seeing you all boys and girls. I'm currently in Lagos airport business lounge, have 2-3 more hours until my flight. Will probably check-in in 16-20 hours, when I arrive home (unless I find w-less in Franfurt). Hopefully I will not delay start for all of us.

Looking first at lass, and then at Ezrek - "Mine, both of you have grown so much!"

Wow Ash, you are quite the firebug.

Good news: You only used 18 out of 20 point for your ability score point buy. If you want, you can put them in now.

Your CMD is 12, not 10. It looks like you forgot to add your BAB.

Other News: How do you know Kellish? You don't have high enough Intelligence for it to be a bonus language and you didn't put a rank in Linguistics. Gnomes don't get regional languages for free, only humans.

For Fire spells, it is my understanding that your caster level is 4 (3 from Cleric, +1 from Pyromaniac), not 5. Where are you getting the extra caster level from? Place Magic can only be used 6 times per day, so you can't add it to all spells all the time.

Furthermore, I'm not seeing any other gear besides the Quilted cloth armor, is this correct?

Courtesy of my company, I'm flying business class, which means access to bussines lounge, both in Lagos and here in Frankfurt. That translates to free wi-fi and unlimited supply of drinks (and even food). What to tell you now - I have so much cognac running in my veins that the night is becoming great! :-)

-Ah I see what I did there..forgot to add my racial mod to con, good catch

- Your right, teaches me to do math late at night

Other News: How do you know Kellish? You don't have high enough Intelligence for it to be a bonus language and you didn't put a rank in Linguistics. Gnomes don't get regional languages for free, only humans.

- My mistake..I thought everyone got the language from the country they live in

For Fire spells, it is my understanding that your caster level is 4 (3 from Cleric, +1 from Pyromaniac), not 5. Where are you getting the extra caster level from? Place Magic can only be used 6 times per day, so you can't add it to all spells all the time.

- I know, but I normally only use it on burning hands and produce flame which add up to my 6 times I can use it. This will change (a lot) when I get more spells..but for now it sort of evens out

Furthermore, I'm not seeing any other gear besides the Quilted cloth armor, is this correct?

No, it was getting late yesterday and decided to get some sleep. I'll add equipment now

Did everybody get the email that had the holiday boon today? If not, I'll email you the boon that you can apply to any character. Just give me your email. You can post it here or PM me in.
