I am using the BBCode for dice rolling, but it isn't rolling the dice. Did I break the forums, or do they just hate me?
*edit* Might help if I remembered to /dice. GAH.

Ok a little background / personality to help clear up any (ooc) misconceptions about Boldren. He is an 18 year old adolescent human. He has spent virtually all of his life confined within the halls of the Arcanamirium. Although this has allowed him to excel to unparalleled levels of academics, it has obviously left him lacking in social behavior. Same as most teenage adolescent boys, Boldren’s first motivation is girls. Boldren’s self-confidence has been bolstered by his over achieving intelligence which borders on arrogance. He has not yet mastered the art of humility, which will hopefully develop over time. All this combined with the normal behavior challenges that young adults tend to have, such as impatient, unfocused, and a lack of good judgment, left Boldren with a personality that comes across as awkward. At the end of the day, his personality is within the scope of his background and is not meant to be taken out of the context of the character. I apologize if this has left anyone uncomfortable. I realize most the female characters Boldren will come across, are being played by men. Although this is generally likely, it is not guaranteed. I post this so there is no misunderstanding of my intent. Boldren’s behavior is 100% in character only.

Bold, the other players have sort of weighed in on it, the reason I took a cautionary tone on it was because I have *been* at physical tables where one player kept pushing on that sort of button and generally ruined the fun of the rest of the table for part of a session.
Fortunately, Karma is a female dog, and boy, did it catch up with both dice and... amusing situations built into the module.
Opening up the communication cleared the air well in advance?
Sorry for my delay yesterday, been having some weird weather here and my connection can be a bit touch and go when it's storming. We're making good time though!
Still need the little form filled out for several members of the party!

We're having some weird weather overall here in the Great Lakes area. Last four days have been unusually cold, and today it's almost a spring-like day (if a bit gloomy).
So yeah, perfectly understandable, and the reason I have the * is I'm currently on the fence about using a Boon or not.
We're closing in on the end folks! Still need info from Jorag, Kiri, and Draco. =D
Also it's time for Boon rolls! The VC's asked for the GM to roll these at once this time.
Just a thought for party tactics on this fight upcoming.
The minotaur may have Reach.
Please be careful how you approach, because that invisible 'space' that Janira has between her and the minotaur (imagine another square around the big token), may be dangerous to enter.
|
If we get a turn where there's more than 20 feet between the minotaur and our allies, I'm going to try and blind the minotaur with a flare cartridge:
"Flare Cartridge: When a flare cartridge hits its target, it only deals half damage, but the creature struck is blinded for 1 round (Fort DC 15 reduces this to dazzled), and creatures within a 20-foot burst are dazzled for 1 round (Fort DC 15 negates the effect). "

It looks like we lost some group cohesion there.
Er. Not some. All.
Did Boldren get the 'Prep' Enlarge off, or is that the one that he's casting? Did we have a chance to get clear of the cave for the prep'd one to happen?
Also, who has the tanglefoot bag from Janira's gear, and who is throwing it, who has the Entangle scroll from her gear, and is anyone casting it? And if so, where?
Does Kiri fall on the log or off of it, and if so, can Wei grab her before she's swept away by the swift flow of the river?
I apologize for trying to work around my work schedule for my postings. It seems to have overly complicated matters...
Afraid my post rate will lag over the holidays, currently scrambling to get stuff done.
Boldren, did you mean for the enlarge person to begin in round 2 and complete on Wei Ji before he exited the caves? Your text saying
"Once the groups clears the cave..." is why I put that action in round 3 originally.
Also, Kiri does not fall. She actually hit the DC for crossing the log at half-speed.

The whole prep action is kind of new to me. I wasn't sure what could be completed during this time. That being said, if it was possible, I would have cast enlarge person on Wei as we were exiting the cave. If a full round action could not be completed, I would have held off on casting the spell and moved with the group.

I would be down for another adventure, and if we could keep this party together that would be even more awesome!
I've played the following with Wei Ji
#5-19 The Horn of Aroden (2PP earned, 2 spent on Wand of Cure Light)
#5-21 The Merchant's Wake (2PP Earned, 0 spent, 2 total)
#6-00 Legacy of the Stonelords (2PP Earned, 0 spent, 4 total)
#6-01 Trial By Machine(1PP Earned, 0 spent, 5 total)
#Gencon Boon #16: Treasure Map
#5-08 The Confirmation (Sheet results pending session results)
Truthfully, I only say "prep action" to remind people to get out their ranged weapons, cast their buffs, etc. It's not a special action or anything. =)
OK! So we are done with The Confirmation, and I will get those chronicles out to you soon. But before everyone burns off, should we run another before the gameday is up?
I have the following scenarios available to run, maybe we can find one that works for everyone.
- First Steps—Part I: In Service to Lore
- #5: Mists of Mwangi
- #35: Voice in the Void
- #47: The Darkest Vengeance
- #3-01: The Frostfur Captives
- #3-05: Tide of Twilight
- #3-07: Echoes of the Overwatched
- #5–09: The Traitor’s Lodge
I also have the whole Devil We Know Series and the freebies, We Be Goblins and Too. But I know two of you have already run DWK.

These are the only ones I haven't done yet, and I would love to join in on one:
First Steps—Part I: In Service to Lore
#47: The Darkest Vengeance
#3-07: Echoes of the Overwatched
Maybe with another character though, not sure yet.
Thanks for running the game.
Will you do the gm roll for boons please?

Havok, If you scroll up in this topic, on November 23rd you'll see the roll numbers for the boons.

Channeling Wei here for a second....
"The only stupid question is the one that one does not ask."
At large enough conventions and events the Path Finder Society (or Paizo, I'll be honest, I'm not quite sure how the interface works) provides 'prize support' in the form of Boons.
Boons can be all kinds of things, ranging from a Treasure Map that you spend your 'Day Job' action on (instead of rolling a skill) to Race Boons -- where you can get a restricted race that no one else can get to create a character with.
There was one of those at GenCon this year in the charity auction and the amount of money it went for... well, frankly, I wouldn't make that kind of money in months *before* expenses.
Boons are nifty things you can add to a character to help flesh them out, gear them up, get a bonus to a roll, all kinds of neat stuff. It's a little bonus and the reason they do rolling for who gets them is because it's the only way to be fair.
At GenCon, which was a bit different, you'd get a wooden token for every module you played. Every two of them got you a roll on the Boon chart, and if you rolled well enough you'd get nifty stuff (in addition to that aforementioned auction they had rolling.)
Actually since this was a Gameday event, the boons are emailed out directly by the VO. Unfortunately we only had one player get the roll (only 1's and 20's qualify) but maybe we'll have better luck with the next scenario.
Reporting is done and I have been working on Chronicles, should have them all sent out tomorrow at the latest. If you haven't rolled your day job yet, I need that now before I write up your chronicle.
So looks like most everyone can go in on a run of First Steps: In Service to Lore. I'll get that submitted and probably have an opening post tomorrow too.
Rolling Day Job for Mira so I can finalize these Chronicles...
Ok, emailing these out now, everyone should have your chronicles shortly.
Yes, swapping out characters is fine with me. I think I'll go ahead and use the same campaign, and just update the info. Working up the segue post now.

I was trying to avoid that but yeah.
If we do have a team name, what sort of qualities did our party have from the Confirmation that we could identify?
Because even silly/funny names need a reason.
Let's keep it clean, folks :)
