[PFS Quest] gfvelastegui's "Phantom Phenomena" (Inactive)

Game Master gfvelastegui

Bizarre phenomena have tormented the people of southeastern Ustalav for decades, and these events become stronger and more dangerous every year. Hoping to uncover the origins of these flashes of red lightning and spectral hauntings, Dr. Quolorum from the Sincomakti School of Sciences has set out with a team of able-bodied assistants. Can the PCs help the professor unlock the secret that dwells above Lantern Lake?

Phantom Phenomena includes six adventures that take the PCs to a superstitious village, a lightning-scarred woodland, an ancient Kellid monolith, a haunted manor, an occult university, and finally into the storm-choked mountains.

We are going to play the six adventures in order, just for flavour.

Maps and stuff .



Hello everyone,

Welcome!

Character Sheets
As I already have copies of the character sheets, it isn’t necessary to post a full one here. I would appreciate if you keep variable factors (HP, Spells left, etc.) updated once those begin to change. How you do that is up to you (in an alias description, in a spoiler box in your posts, etc.).

We are going to play it with pregenerated characters as they come. You can change some aspects of your character, only if rules allow it. For example, a cleric can change its spells, sorcerer can not. In this example cleric can choose its spells for the second adventure.

Combat
I’ll roll initiative for everyone. When players are grouped together, you may go in whatever order you desire. I’ll process actions in post order, unless you include a note in your post requesting otherwise (this may be important for our sneak attackers). I welcome conditional actions, like “if enemy A is still standing, I attack him, otherwise I charge enemy B.” I reserve the right to autopilot you if inactivity causes a delay. If it becomes a problem you may be replaced for subsequent quests.

I will generally allow you to roll your own saves, though exceptions may be made in the interests of combat flow.

Reporting
As long as you successfully complete at least one quest, you’ll receive a PFS chronicle sheet. Each successful completion increases your rewards, and I will not report your participation until completion. Please, If you could post or PM the PFS number you intend to give this chronicle sheet to, that would be much appreciated.

Overview
Your characters have all been hired by Dr. Quolorum of the Sincomakti School of Sciences in Ustalav, to assist him in an ongoing investigation into unusual phenomena in the area.

He has six tasks for you, detailed in letters I will give to you soon, before we start. We are going to play the six adventures in order, just for flavour.

Each task will take place on a different day, so you’ll begin each quest fully replenished in terms of health, spells, etc.

Let me know if there are any other questions I can answer before we get started.

and it has to go to a 1st lvl character right? I don't think I'll have any by the time we're done with this, as both of my 1st lvls are starting their 3rd game in a day or two, and will shortly have 3 xp... I may have to make a new one to apply credit to... any chance of saving this sheet til August so I can apply it to an elemental race character? *bats eyes sweetly*... if not, I'll just make a new character shortly - sometime before we finish this game.


I would love to help you. I have to report it as soon as we finish it. On that way, the other players can get their boons. I hope we finish it in a month or so.

ok.. I will just make a new character, not a problem!

Hey, sorry - I am at a local Con this weekend, so internet access is spotty.

That said, I will be back to my usual frequent appearances on the forums from Monday :-)

I would aim to use one of the 'Occult' pregens - I will sort out which before Monday.


Luke_Parry, no problem. Monday is perfect.


- PREGEN -

Alias created. It looks like they haven't added the occult adventures artwork to the profile pictures screen. :-(


Ready to go.


I added the letters. We are going to play in order, but this info is for you. Tomorrow, we start this adventure. Please, be ready.

Let me know if you have problems with the link.


Gameplay is opened.


Male Human Spiritualist (Fractured Mind/Phantom Blade) 1 (HP 10/10) (AC 18/14/14) (CMD 15) (Fort +3, Ref +4, Will +0) (Init +4) (Perception +5)

Luke_Parry here - I initially went with Occultist, then realised we already had one of those - so I went with the 'mad' Medium, instead ;-)


Welcome everybody. We have started. Please, I ask you a little of patience. English is not my first language and I still do a lot of mistakes.

Luke, you have done your purchase. It is OK to me.


Say, GM, could you make the map the first (default) slide on the google document thingme. So its what we see by default when we click the link instead of the notes?

Just a minor convenience thing.


ASAP I will try to solve this.


I am a little bit busy this weekend. I will try to post something before the weekend is over. Sorry.


- PREGEN -

No problem

Its FreeRPG day after all =)

no problem... it's been a busy day for me as well... played board games all day... exhausted now, but had a great time...


- PREGEN -

I will be at GenCon this week, and it is already taking a lot of my time. I imagine I will still be able to get posts in but I don't know when they will be or how long/thorough they will be. Please bot me as necessary.

Mavaro, have fun.


Am not 100% certain on the travel times between all these various places either.

Trying to remember from when I ran through this a while back and some of the descriptions you've given this time out, and a quick lookup on some maps of Ustalav.

Harrow (the inn) was in the tiny village of Dunhob
Lightning was in the foothills between lantern Lantern Lake and the Hungry Mountains
Manor is still in the foothills not far from the Lightning spot.
Monolith was an hour out of Dunhob (and describes Dunhob as somewhere in those foothills between the lake and the mountain as well.
University is in Rozenport which is southwest of all that on the western edge of the county (looks like about 30-40 miles based on maps)

So looks like the trip from part 4 to 5 was the longest hike yet.

All of this is rough estimation, mind you, without a clear indicator of Dunhob on a map!


Sorry, I am out of town. Holidays in my country. I'll come back on Monday.

Just so you know, I will be at Strategicon all weekend (Friday-Monday evening). Probably won't be home til late Monday. I will try to keep up with posts via phone and computer at the hotel, but I will be mega-busy at the con, so no guarantees. Please bot my character as necessary to keep the game flowing... Thanks, and sorry in advance for my absence.


Don't worry. Have fun. I was busy today. Tomorrow I will continue with the final fight.

Thanks DM!


Most of you have a lot more experience than I have. With this can I level up my character, if I played two scenarios and GMed this one?


yessir.

Every 3 xp, whether its from playing or GMing or both.


Awesome! Thanks, Amiri.


Oh, and don't forget to mark this campaign thread inactive, once folks have snagged their chronicles.

Yes, Amiri. I will wait until tomorrow, If I have to do some changes in the chronicles.

The chronicle looks fine :-)


- PREGEN -

I mentioned this in the email; in future you should check the boxes for the quests we finished and the resources we acquired. I think it matters more for when the quests aren't all being played at once, so we should be fine.

I know Mavaro. It was my fault. I supposed to do that, but I fotgot it. If someone has problem with that, I can correct it for you. Next time, I will take care of this aspect more accurately.

Thanks to everyone. It was fun to me.


- PREGEN -

Yeah, thanks GM. I enjoyed it
