PFS PFS 2 - 01 / 02 Before the Dawn (1-7) (Inactive)

Game Master Beckett

Right now, its me, then Owyn and Grundle. Sorry long week. Ill update in a few hours. I forgot to last night.

posting from a glacier in Alaska

Ok, that's pretty cool. How are you getting electricity out there? Generators or a solar-based charging unit?

Just walked to the glacier, staying in civilization ... so, on grid.

I do have a couple solar flashlights that also charge phones that work really well though.

So, we are at about the half way point, I think, and I was reading up on somethings, and didn't realize just how bad something can be. Depending on what players do. When I played this, I had no idea, but there is a possibility for a perma-death in this one. People have to do some pretty insane things, but I just wanted to warn up front it's a possibility, but not likely, (and of course I'll nudge against it if it starts coming even close). Honestly, I hate it when characters die, much les leading to a tpk. It makes it so the player has to sit out from the fun. (Ask Grundle about the statue sometime. . .). Anyway, just a head's up. Older scenarios had some really odd, over-powered stuff sometimes.

Also, the odd metal is (out of character) something called Abysium, (which has nothing to do with the Abyss or evil).

It's popped up a few times in scenarios, and is mostly just a bit of flavor and mystery. I know it' been in the Blakros Meseums scenarios a few times, as well as the Hao Jen Tapestry ones. (It's usually described more as a slightly green glowing metal rather than a non-glowing aqua colored metal, but eh.

Again, out of character, and this doesn't really say it in the scenario, but I put the pieces together, it's radioactive, and its the main cause for the camp being sick. It has an affect on those that are near it for long periods of time, but for short periods, you're safe. If you would have studied the people affected, you would have found out (with a high heal & know check) that they are affected by a "magical" disease from an unknown cause, that started about a month after they begin digging at that site. There is no "cure", and it prevents them from regaining HP from rest. Add in that they are starving, and low on Con Mods. . . (but, you can save them as part of the conclusion).

If you know anything about the connections between Earth and Golarion, and a bit about the Skymetals, it's actually pretty cool to speculate just where this came from, and how so.

Any questions/concerns/suggestions/likes/dislikes?

I'm always open to criticism, and like to know what aspects, either of the scenario or the way I ran it people liked or did not like, and always looking to improve. :)

HERE IS A LINK to the Chronicle Sheets. Please let me know if there are any problems. And it's reported as well.

Thanks for playing. Now, I need a little bit of a break from GMing. Yah right. Probably not going to happen, and I'll liking be posting a new game here in a few days. If you are interested, keep an eye out in the Recruitment boards.

I'll also keep the thread open a few days to see if anyone has input or issues.

Thanks so much for DMing ... had a blast as usual! I can't think of anything to change.

Interesting how bare all the sheets are looking ... is this because faction related things are missing? It just seems like sheets I received before had lots of circumstantial bonuses (That I never remember anyhow) whereas sheets I am receiving now just have items. Just curious.

No complaints on my end. My biggest fear was finishing before GenCon, which you promisied we would do. I really appreciate you delivering on that. All-in-all, it was a great game. I'll be sure to keep my eye open for future games with your name on them. See you then!

Some are just that way. Season 6's usually do have a lot of extra Faction stuff, but even some of those are barren, too.

I had fun, and enjoyed the scenarios. For my first time doing pbp, it's taken a while to get the hang of things, and as always having to learn a new dm. All in all, it was fun, and I'd definitely play in another one of your games.

Thanks to everyone for the help and guidance that you gave me during the scenario as well. I wish you all the best and safest endeavors in your futures.

If I purchase 2 scrolls off my chronicle sheet, how do I note this for the next DM, or what not?

You can either buy then at the begining of your next game at the end of this one, (bothwould be in your off time, so to speak). I can add them if you want, just let me know.

1.) Kiel Howell
2.) Grundle Farbon
3.) 56335-2
4.) Andoran
5.) N/A
6.) N/A

Just bad timing for me at the end. I got crazy busy and weekends are pretty much always out for me. Otherwise it was fun! Sorry guys, you didn't get the full Grundle experience.

If it wasnt such a big rush, I was hoping for some Thor vs Hulk action.

Ok, well... I subtracted the gold for 2 scrolls out of the funds gained this scenario, and then just added them on to hero labs. but if it requires you to do something on the chronicle sheet, then if you could please annotate it that'd be awesome. :)

I need to know what scrolls you got, how much you spent, and if you used an PP or got any special discounts or anything. Once I get that, I'll update and repost you chronicle sheet to show it.

2 scrolls of cmw @ 150 ea. For 300gp. I don't know of any discounts, and I don't know how to use pp yet. I remember a discount from the first scenario we did, but I don't think it counts towards scrolls.

You can use PP to make some purchases. For 1 PP, you can get any 1 item up to 150gp. For 2 PP, you can get any one item(*) up to 750gp.

The exception to the 1 item thing is scrolls, in which you can get a single scroll with multiple spells on it. They need to be the same spell, but you could spend 2PP to get a scroll with x5 castings of CMWs if you wanted. Alternatively, and probably the better investment, is to by a Wand of CLWs (exactly 750) for 2PP. It's a very common practice in PFS to use your first 2PP to buy a wand, even if you can't use it yourself. Hand it over to someone that can and ask them to use it on you, (thus not wasting their resources to heal you). What's better, because you can do a free level 1 rebuild up until you actually play as a level 2 character, you don't even need to track charges until that point, (it all resets when you rebuild), as long a you don't use all 50 charges in one scenario (I've seen it).

Anyway, let me know what you decide and I'll make it happen.

Ah.... We'll, I think I'll just go with the way in posted earlier. I do have 4PP now, but I'm never a big spender. Lol.

Thanks Beckett, hopefully after a while I'll be big enough to play in another scenario under your command.
