PFS PbP GameDay IV: 7-05 School of Spirits (Tier 1-5) (Inactive)

Game Master Baerlie

Open for discussion...

I have just realized I´ve done a strange election of games.

Currently I´m playing a game in which we were sent to find a ruby ring to the Drownyard. I hope there are not a lot of spoilers about "taht other scenario" but a confirmation will be apreciated.

If there´s no problem playing both I have two characters I can bring, both of them are skill monkeys and can help in diplomatic situations, but have .

In one hand I have Maldrek a tiefling wizard who needs to be updated to level three. He´s a former slave who loves knowledge and who joined the Society because, after having helped his former masters in some missions, it´s the best way he knows to discover lost or secret knowledge.

In the other hand there is Irudiel, a level 2 half-elf investigator, who joined The Exchange, and thus the Society, as a bussiness opportunity. He feels knowing of everything, and being able to convince anyone to be very usefull in his bussiness. He also can figh a little, but he isn´t a very good fighter. No sheet in the web, from now he only have GM credit and many different ideas about him

I'm afraid the other game is spoiled when you hear the introduction of this scenario. I don't have a problem if you want to play both, but you know the ending of the other scenario at the beginning of this one.

What level do we play?

That depends on the characters, level 1, 3 and 4 signed up, and three characters are to be defined.

I'm the level three.

And while this character didn't do the sad tale of Black Waters - another my mine has.

My 4th level rogue was dragged into another game. I have a 3rd level monk and a 4th level sniper rogue (which I need to update l) that I could play with.

I think I have to use a pregen.... all my level 3-4 are in games. Apart from my bard, but she is in Dragons demand? Can I play her? Baerli?

Hmm, could completely mess with things by bringing all level 3's :P. I have 3 level 3s, a level 1, and a level 4. No level 5's currently and my level 2 is currently tied up.

@Helikon: Yes, you can play Felicitas. You are playing her twin sister in DD ;) You decided to play the full campaign and not only the PFS sanctioned parts so we are not tied to the PFS rules.

So far we have:
Bulgo 3
Helikon 3/4
Amsheagar 34
Oykiv 2/3 (if he/she decides to join)
Black Powder 1/3/4

(Amsheagar) I'll join in with my level 3 monk, Haro.

As I am not sure on level etc I will play the cleric pregen if it is fine?

I´m decided, and I´ll bring my level 3 wizard (who had just been updated)

Great, that means the party consists of:

Bulgo Bluefoot Rogue 3
Kyra Cleric 4
Haro はろ Monk 3
Maldrek "el liberto" Wizard 3
Arianna "Anna" Turvanar Spiritualist 1
Black Powder 3 (?)

Which brings us to an APL of 2.83, rounded up to 3. That means we are going to play the subtier 4-5 with four player adjustment. If Helikon decides to play level 1 Kyra, we would have to play the lower subtier without adjustments.

Lets stay with 4. I have seen so often that you just cakewalk low tier while the higher is just mildly challenging.

Higher tier please.

It's one of the first games I run from season 7, but with a healer it shoult not be too challenging.

Disclaimer: First time with a wizard.

Having said that, I´m ok playing wichever tier you want

Hum... so sorry, I was sure that when I put my name on that recruitment sheet It had more level 1 players...

I think I will have to bow out of this, since I have only level 1 characters and do not really like to play pregens...

Is that a big problem to you?

No, it's not a problem. You may also play the level 1 character, but it's kind of risky. As you like :)

@Arianna: 14 HP at level 1 ain't too shabby. At least you can use your phantom, too to do your stuff while you try to stay safe in the back. You could be worse for a level 1 walking into a 4-5 tier, all things considered. If you don't want to risk it, I won't blame you.

Think I'm going to go with buff monk myself. Need more knowledge stuff, we'll have a Kyra for heals, got a level 3 dedicated wizard, and I can inspire courage through my drunken words of truth.

I'll go ahead and post the introduction. One player is on the waiting list in case Arianna really decides to bow out (which I don't hope). And if the other player does not have a character within the level range, we can still look for a replacement in the Flaxseed Lodge.

Well, if this is the case, I will try my luck! Will finish her sheet soon!

Please post the following in formation, I need it for the reporting at the end. In the past game days it happened that players disappeared after the end of the game and it was difficult to retrieve the information afterwards.

Can we talk out of game of what we want to do? If only to speed the things a little?

If Bulgo was sovereign court, I'd be all for destroying the information to protect the noble families. But he's not :-)

I'm mostly curious about where the faction leader sits now, and what he really wants to do with the information.

None of you is memeber of the Liberty's Edge faction so the last part is just fluff. Your decision in this case does not influence the ongoing story.

Chronicles

Reporting is done already.

If Bulgo was sovereign court, I'd be all for destroying the information to protect the noble families. But he's not :-)

If Bulgo was sovereign court he will keep the information to "persuade" the noble families to join. At least this is what my SC character will do.

Many thanks for the game! Nice to see some closure on a classic scenario.

Hmmm, this seems like a short scenario. Thanks for running it.

I think we talked our way through most of the possible combats.

We could have had two battles in the garden presumably. And those ghosts that got talked down at the end may have been pretty nasty too.

Oh, FJC - I presume this counts as defeating a haunt?

I´m with Bulgo, there have been oportunities for combat, but we decided to not provoke it.

I´ve been recently playing several games wich feel short of combat due the posibility to pass the encounter talking (or otherwise), and having a great group who also wanted to avoid unnecesary confrontation. For me its better than havind to combat every encounter no matter what you do. (But I miss the opportunity of casting some spells).

It´s been a great game and a great group. Hope to see you in more games.

There were five encounters: the guys who attempted to shove J. around in the beginning, two encounters in the gardens (the fat baby plant and the druid plant), the haunt in the classroom and Cassiel's ghost. You had descent diplomacy rolls and in tier 1-5 the foes are mostly unfriendly and not hostile. And the script offers the possibility to talk you through the encounters, even the DCs for rolls are given.
