PFS: Perils of the Pirate Pact (Tier 1-2) CORE (Inactive)

Game Master R D

Really? Just one? Wow.

Good to know about the retired Faction quests. Out of curiosity, though, on those secondary success conditions for old Scenarios, have the secondary conditions been incorporated back into the scenario docs? Or is the responsibility on the DM to know to go look for that doc you linked and weave any relevant info/hooks back into the adventure for the players?

And is that letter you posted for us basically fluff at this point? Or is it relevant to a secondary success condition for this scenario?

It is the responsibility of the GM to look it up.

Yes, the letter is basically fluff.

Good to know. If I get around to running any, I don't want to short my players. :/

You can opt to do the faction missions anyway. Players must also meet the secondary success condition for 2 PP. Boons on chronicle sheets may still apply.

Lol. Flyndal seems to have taken care of it for us already. :)

Did we officially give up on Rod?

I PM'd him on Thursday or so just to check in. No response.

He is welcome to come back at any time. As long as he completes three encounters with the party, he gets 1 XP.

I'd certainly welcome him to jump in with us. :)

Desh, as your spiritual guide on this mission, I have to say that yes, luring the spider swarm to that guy would definitely be evil.

Sigh. Fine.

I want credit for the totally good idea, though. ;)

Evil? I dunno. Cowardly, certainly. Maybe a little evil.

Cowardly?! How dare you, sir!

How dare I? How dare you, sir!

I'm confused ... am I the old President or the old actor?

I dunno, but I didn't vote for you.

In regards to factions. The faction cards have been posted.

Huh?

That's cool! Thanks for sharing!

Sorry for being too quick on the draw, DM ... I'll reign it in a bit. (I've just been far more able to be responsive over the last few days than I usually am).

:-) No worries. Responsive is good, in general! We've really flown through this scenario; you guys are very nearly done! :-D

This speed is nuts. I usually prefer 1/day posting games, but it's been fun.

In regards to factions. The faction cards have been posted.

If anyone needs digital versions of the faction cards, I split them into separate PDF files and added checkbox fields.

Mike Brock ruled they're OK to use in the Core Campaign too.

This post, I believe?

Thank you all for playing. This was an amazing experience. I've never finished a play-by-post scenario in only 10 days before. :-) I hope to game with you guys again sometime in the future.

The scenario has been reported online. Please check your accounts to make sure that you see your credit appropriately.

Your chronicle sheets are also available online here. Please download and print them for your records. Let me know ASAP if there are and errors or corrections needed.

Thanks again!

Thanks for GMing!

I'd be up for another CORE game. If everyone else is? Maybe starting Monday.

I'd be up for another CORE game. If everyone else is? Maybe starting Monday.

Do you still plan on using Grog for Carrion Crown?

Is there a particular scenario you'd like to play?

That was nuts. I'm not sure what other scenarios are in the River Kingdoms region, but I think it'd make the most sense thematically to stay near there. I'm up for another, I think.

:-) Yes, it was nuts! I don't expect anyone to maintain that pace of posting. Whew!

Thornkeep and the Emerald Spire are in the River Kingdoms. It's also not too far away to go to Galt, Andoran, Taldor, or the Worldwound, either.

I'd be up for more CORE games! This was a great run - I'm surprised it ended so quickly, but everyone had great posting rates! (Well, everyone but Rod...)     8D

Count me in! That Emerald aspire looks right up Desh's alley!

If we do that, can we attempt to recruit some flavor of arcane caster? :D

(Well, everyone but Rod...)     8D

Yah, I think an actual metal rod would have been a more useful addition to our crew. :)

OK. Give me a few days to finish up some other stuff. I'll post a link to the new game here when I'm good to go.

Emerald Spire is a module that gets you a whole level when you're done. 3 XP and 4 PP. Everyone down with that?

I am. :D

How do you want to handle the recruiting of the new character? (cough mage cough)

Also, heads up,but Desh is becoming Grand Lodge ...his connection to Exchange was tenuous at best, anyway.

How important is it to track expenses prior to hitting level 2? I mean, do I need to sweat the swapping of gear (and the use of those 2 acid vials)? Or does that just fall under the umbrella of the pre-level 2 character changes?

The use of Inventory Tracking Sheets is mandatory for PFS as of version 5.0 of the Guide to Organized Play.

They're very hard to audit online, so I can imagine that a lot of people hand-wave them. But, they are required. See pages 10, 21, 23, 36, and 51 of the Guide.

That said... I've heard some GMs say: "because of first level retraining, just deduct consumables from your 150 GP of starting gear and retrain with whatever equipment you want." I leave it up to you guys. I'm (probably) not your Venture Officer (unless you live in MA), so I will just trust you to track your resources responsibly.

Nah. I'm happy to track it. It's what I've been doing so far, anyway.

Do we need to track retroactively? I have some other characters that I will need to put some work into updating, if so.

It will be easy to start with Flyndal.

DM, my Chronicle sheet looks good. Thanks!

Also, I've actually done all my basic gear purchases/upgrades. Pretty simple stuff, but I figure we can track it against the next Chronicle for simplicity (and I have the Tracking sheets updated and uploaded onto my Google Docs folder for Desh ... all of which is linked at the bottom of Desh's profile page, under the "Chronicles" spoiler)

Ditto - I don't have it linked yet, but I will.

Emerald Spire would be fine with me, I think. Just, I might be slower on the posting. That was a bit fast.

We can definitely slow the pace. This was pretty freaking quick.

Do we need to track retroactively?

Yes--as far back as the start of season 5 (Aug 2013). But not before that.

Engleaktig, I have a player who's interested in the potential arcane slot. Axolotl, who I've been in a number of games with here on the boards, says he'd enjoy trying an elf conjurer wizard.

Should I connect him to you for this upcoming game?

Sure. I'll post the link to the Emerald Spire game here in this discussion page. He can just join us there.

Cool. I'll let him know.

Is that cool with everyone else?

Fine by me. I've got my chronicle linked (I think) in my profile. Can I just do my shopping, or what?
