[PFS] Race For The Runecarved Key, Tier 3-4 - GM Ewok (Inactive)

Game Master EwokBanshee

Welcome to our table for the special! We will get underway on the 5th, Australia time. (This may be the 4th for many of you.) Please see my profile for general table expectations, all are similar to the majority of GM's on these forums. Mostly, I want to stress how important it is that everyone post a minimum of once or twice per day. This game is timed, and there is a lot to go through!

Use this thread for out of character discussions and off topic conversations. This way, we can keep the Gameplay tab in character, and reading like a story.

When is this slated to start?

We will get underway on the 5th, Australia time. (This may be the 4th for many of you.)

We will start whenever the overseer posts into our thread on the 5th.

I am going to back out because I do not think I'll be able to keep up at an appropriate rate with my other responsibilities.

Hello all, can I join?

Welcome, Jerry! Post up your character information for me, we'll be starting in a few days!

Many thanks for letting me have that newly open spot. I've been eyeing this special to put on the store schedule I coordinate and now I won't need to eat the spoiler when that time comes (and slip in another special towards that 5 star requirement!).

Phoebee wont be done with the adventure she is in right now but I have a 3rd level rouge.

Here he is!

@Vogue "Oh no...the Pretty boy is here. Looks like I will need to keep him alive."

On a side note. I looks like I was put here as the "ringer" since the other 5-6 tables are full. I don't mind playing down. My only level three right now is another investigator.

Reaper, whichever one you want to play is fine! Either character would fit in well, I think.

Let me double check to make sure that he is up to date on my herolab before I answer the other questions.

I'm going to drop too because of real life. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Phew. Ok. Taking stock, our new party is:

Jason Rodarte as Bennybeck the Inquisitor
Andrew Harasty as a level 3 or 5
Jerry Wayne as Vogue the Inquisitor
Caps as Fingalad the Magus

Stonelance, who hasn't checked in yet (Sent him a message yesterday. If he isn't here by the 6th, I'll get us a replacement. )

I'll go post for a 6th party member.

Here is pazacku....level 3 paladin of shizuru

Welcome, Pazacku! Post your character info (See the first post) and we'll get started soon!

Alright, everyone! We have less than a day till take-off.

Everyone, please fill out the character information. That will help me guide you through the Special. Here's to a great game!

Ok, had to spend some gold on armor and weapon upgrades but am ready to go!

Am I at the right tier?

I think so it is usually 3-4.

Yepp! Levels 3 and 4, welcomed here!

Reaper is a little high, and Stoneside is a little low, they'll both get out-of-tier gold.*

*Actually, there isn't out-of-tier gold. So, you both get the correct gold for your level, I believe. I guess Reaper earns the extra bucks by protecting Stoneside.

I'm looking at the schedule and I want to reiterate. It is super important that everyone posts at least once a day, including weekends.

This game is very timed. Every day for the next 50-ish days has something we need to accomplish, including the weekends. If we fall behind, it will make the end of the scenario a lot more difficult for everyone.

This special is a little unique, for a couple of reasons.

1. I'll be tracking the success of your various encounters via Key Points. After each encounter, I'll let you know the new status of your Key Points. Without going into too much details that would spoil the game, the more Key Points you earn the better.

2. There is also a competitive element to this - at the end of the scenario, the table with the most number of Key Points wins! They win... a big shining bundle of pride. But hey, it will be fun to see how we stack up.

Sounds fun.

I really need everyone to place your tokens on the Slides. Please copy your token and paste it on Slide 2. Then, please paste it on Slide 3, in the order you wish to explore in.

Done.

I have put myself as door opener since I the tanky one.

But I will allow for the "trap detectors" to do their thing before opening doors.

Done. He likes to be by big guys so that he can help set up flanks with his spear

Updated for Vogue's token.

He works best when he has some space between him and the bad guys to use his reach weapon and be adjacent to allies, his Phalanx Format feat lets him not worry about soft cover fro allies with his spear.

Also, being adjacent to allies lets him put his Bit of Luck power to use with a touch.

How are you liking the changes to the lore warden archetype?

Yeah, well, if I had already invested quite a bit into a Lore Warden, I wouldn't be that happy with some of the recent tweaks made to the archetype. But I don't have a fighter built up with it requiring the offered rebuild and this current inquisitor character is going no further than a one level dip in Lore Warden. I really only took it for the extra combat feat and chose Lore Warden for the extra skill points for intelligence based skills. And the archetype changes had no effect on the level one class offerings.

I had a fighter that I wanted to go into that archetype and then go into the Crimson Templar PRC. I didnt like the changes so I just went and made him a slayer that will go into that PRC when he can.

Bennybeck, are you the crouching token, different than your Paizo one?

Looks like we are missing Fingalad's token. (Away on business this week, so the only access to the slides is via my phone. Which can't make tokens.)

I made the default tokens for everyone else on slide two. People will need to place them on the map.

Do you want me to wait there for the guy and take him out or come back and report?

Doing this with the least amount of death and notice would be good.

Okay.

I might have made a whoops on the execution of this plan.

Thanks for making the tokens, Reaper. What's the plan? I'm fine with a bit of out of character strategy discussion, since your characters had days of travel to figure this out.

Do you want me to go back in to the next wagon?

Does someone have a sleep or something that might be helpful?
