[PFS] Season 0 run, mixed with Dragon's Demand

Game Master Irish202

I had a great time with that scenario. I like how the combats utilized tactical positioning for all the fights. That last fight was a bit sketchy there for a few rounds, but we prevailed!

I will get Gwen leveled as soon as I can. I'm going to debate my bonus feat. Originally I was going to get Pummeling Style, but after the ACG errata it's not nearly as appealing at lower levels where you don't run into DR as much...

I think a grappling brawler has a blast in every low level encounter.

Fun but harsh indeed! Never had a character down so much :P

Steph, for Rp sake, when your able, toss me the time gap (between adventures) So that I can update the journal.

Haha, this is true! I'm not looking forward to when we start meeting higher CMD opponents though... I'm trying to decide which way I want to go... I feel like Pummeling Style is going to be more situational now than grappling. So now the question is which style to go with; Snapping Turtle or Grabbing Style? I like that Snapping Turtle will help me increase my AC and also allows a reactive Grapple attempt after an opponent attacks and misses me, but Grabbing Style will eventually allow me to Grapple two opponents at the same time... What are your thoughts??

I think I can make up for the Control aspect as the build Im going with has a lot of entangle, trip and holds. So, if you feel you want the for-sure route, do so Gwen. I'll have your back as super support.

Is our new player going to drop by in Discussion for some OOC talk?

Soon! Once the new scenario starts! ;)

Steph, for Rp sake, when your able, toss me the time gap (between adventures) So that I can update the journal.

There's no set time gap in between the adventures. Shall we go with a week?

Urbar would love to take a break in the woods, not having to see humans all the time ;P Or weird smoke breathing creatures for that sake.

There isn't going to be a ton of changes to my character, as I'm still pretty happy with her., However as I'm traveling on business and away from my books, it's highly doubtful I will get the changes made to my profile before this weekend.

As for the scenario, I actually didn't find it nearly as interesting as most of the other ones I have played. Not saying it wasn't fun, just the setup and locations didn't grab me.

That said, the last fight was by far the most tense I've had in a while. Good thing Gwen is such a combat monster, beacause without her we would have all been toast.

Of course I find it interesting that Urbar keeps dropping,when he has close to the best AC and most HP out of all of us. He's developing a bit of a reputation as a glass cannon in my head :)

Haha, I agree about poor Urbar. Don't worry, I'm sure he will be cutting people down like crazy soon enough!

I leveled Fiona up - I'm also quite happy with her build as a support role so I'm continuing to develop her along the same lines.

Also, I chose a +2 AC, +2 resistances hex buff (long duration, gets dispelled once you are hit but can be recast as many times as needed) to help protect our glass cannon[s?].

Gwen: If our tactics continue to be incapitating enemies (Gwen, Fiona and Eryzule's new build) while dealing damage (Vicard and Urbar) - it might be better to go for the Grabbing Style. I (and Eryzule?) will continue to use Sleep as it's overpowered for levels 1-2, but once that's obsolete we might want more Control.

Just wondering, where do you see Tereze fitting in party tactics?

Tereze is the "Keep-us-alive-because-our-bad-choices-are-killing-us-and Urbar-is-down!" Healer.

And I'm aware that the Game doesn't recognize a time difference between adventures, but it helps keep us in a living world if time moves forward.

It's actually really weird indeed that he goes down all the time... Since the previous adventure I have upgraded my swords and haven't had a single change to properly use them xD

I agree with Ery on your roll btw :P Although Oracles are very tricksy. If you don't pay attention you have an oracle who can do everything but not very effective :( They just have to much potential.

I had one very fun character who couldn't do much as a oracle :S But I have seen another one which just obliterated everything without anything touching him. I find them very fun to play because of their versatility but I need to have a solid idea about my character to play it :P

Not that I disagree with your evaluation, I m just interested to see if others see her role the way I do...

I agree with Eryzule and Urbar - Tereze is the main healer (to be honest, nobody else can keep us all up), while providing some support/offense vs. undead. Channel Energy is a great power, I'd probably call that class defining because it can practically determine outcomes of battles if used well. There are some hot-headed melee-loving cleric-types out there, but fortunately for us [read:Urbar] Tereze isn't one of them... Keep in mind this can all change with the new party member though.

Purely mechanics, I suppose a Paladin would be awesome? Some healing, good damage output against baddies...

Nah mechanics are fine right now! And fitting everything in is just boring ;P I run a chaotic game myself and I love it. Beside weird class choices the characters themselves are also pretty nuts.

I do sometimes need a little backup once in a while... ;P

I agree that Tereze is definitely our healer-lady! As a Life Oracle you put keep us on our feet for a long time... I'm playing with a life oracle in WotR and he is a healing beast! Life Link is a very good option to select, especially with Urbar being the damage sponge lol! ;)

Okay... working on getting Gwen leveled. Sorry it's taking so long. Yesterday was my first day back to work after a week off and my entire day was consumed with a drunk driver crash. Hopefully I will be able to wrap her up tonight and I will post the updates here!

I too have had a busy couple of days. Will probably level up Vicard tonight.

I'll be gone from Sunday night to Tuesday morning on a vacation, just a head's up. Don't let me stall the next module.

Level 2:

+8 hp

+1 Grapple/Trip CMD

I think I've decided on my path for feats... I'm going to pick up Snapping Turtle Style now, that way I use Martial Flexibility to snag Snapping Turtle Clutch next level. Then at 5th level I'll pick up both Grabbing Style and Pummeling Style. The idea is essentially to use Pummeling Style when I want to do some damage with Brawler's Flurry. My normal style that I'll likely utilize will be Snapping Turtle w/ Clutch... that way I can get an immediate grapple attempt following a missed attack directed at me on the opponent's turn. Then on my next round I use a Swift action to transition into Grabbing Style and have some fun with that!

Just waiting on Chronicle to finalize purchases and what not.

I seemed to have forgotten a very important item for Gwen... and was just reminded. Potions of Enlarge Person! I cannot believe I forgot about those!!!!

And while writing your chronicle sheets I realized that I forgot to ask you to roll Day Job checks!

Ery rolled his Day Job in the gameplay thread, but I figure the others won't mind if I roll for them here?

Fiona's Day Job; Craft: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
Gwen's Day Job; Profession (Bartender): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Tereze's Day Job; Perform (Dance): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

@Fiona: What kind of Craft skill have you chosen, your profile mentions just 'Craft'?

Here are your chronicle sheets:
Eryzule
Fiona
Gwendallyn
Tereze
Urbar
Vicard

Don't forget to check your Faction Journal Cards to see if you can check a box. If you're not sure if you may check one of the boxes, just ask! ;)

I'll wait for you to come back. It'd be weird to be past the first encounter without you present.

Ok GM I have a question.
Is there any way to make the my wand of cure light drawable with a move or quick action rather then as a standard?

I know there seems to be some discussion about what impact the haunted curse does have vs. items that allow you to draw things faster.
I've been assuming that items like the wrist sheathe and spring loaded wrist sheathe just don't work for me. But if that isn't the case then I'll have to consider getting a wrist sheathe for my healing wand at some point in the future.

I don't see why having a Wrist Sheath would not work for you. I have one on a haunted curse oracle and had no issues with using it as intended. Now, granted, I'm not the GM here and Steph may have a different opinion, that was just my two cents.

*EDIT*

On another note... I just realized that I have to change Gwen's alignment! I thought Falayna was NG, but she is in fact LG... Glad I caught that before we got too far into things. Given the alignment choices, I think I'll have to go with NG. Lawful does not fit Gwen the way I conceive her.

Retrieving any stored item from your gear requires a standard action, unless it would normally take longer. Any item you drop lands 10 feet away from you in a random direction.

I would consider the spring loaded wrist sheath usable also. It's a wrist movement that launches the items into your hand, not you grabbing the item from wherever. But what Gwen is right, I'm also not the GM ^^

"Retrieving any stored item from your gear requires a standard action, unless it would normally take longer. Any item you drop lands 10 feet away from you in a random direction. Add mage hand and ghost sound to your list of spells known."

I don't consider weapons on your belt and items in wrist sheaths to be stored inside your 'gear.' Both types of wrist sheaths should work just fine.

Flavor-wise, I fail to see how a haunt would shift items around inside your wrist sheath. There isn't any space to shift things around in there.

*The second faceless figure makes an appearance.*

Sorry to disappoint you, ser Vicard, no paladin.
Just you friendly resident saboteur.
I would have liked to come to discussion earlier, as you had pointed out, but Steph asked to wait until the scenario would start.

I've been following your ventures since Steph started.
I've got to say, you guys are quite a funny group.

Welcome to the group Locke! Glad to have you on board.

Funny.... us? Surely not. We are always serious and straight to the point.
No sir no funny stuff happening here.

But seriously, welcome!

The long awaited new player!

It's funny.

While i have not made Locke to be either particular a male or female, the group's automatic assumption is the 1st.

The outfit's worn for a reason. ^^

Urbar, i'm intrigued, how you are to determine Locke to be a human, if the only things you see are a mask and mantle?
An elf covered in perfume smells alike a human covered in perfume.
:)

Never smelled an elf xP

He's just going on a hunch. General body shape, way of talking. He just really hates humans :P

Uhuh, while it's true no small humanoid or dwarf is up to Locke's height, i could be any medium sized humanoid, still wearing a mantle to cover any features.

Halloween, it could be anyone underneath the Scream mask.
Come to think of it, they'll be starting that up in 2 weeks again.
I wouldn't be surprised if Steph pulls a halloween gag somewhere.

I might have to tweak some things now, to try and put the group on the wrong foot, as a person of mystery can't afford to be categorized as easily. :)

Oh I would say you are still a mystery. It's just the party members projecting in you what they fear most.
Ery a rival for the girls attentions.
Urbar a human.
Tereze a spy for the target of her mission.
I wouldn't be surprised if Vicard thinks you are a Criminal...

What you think we welcome masked and hooded strangers with open arms just because they have a floating P over their head ;)

Right on the spot!

Me, a criminal?

Erm....*flashes memory of sabotage, explosions*

I'm just passing by :)

Lol! I think the default assumption is that Locke would be human, just given the sheer number of them in Golarion. Looks like this is going to be fun!

Originally i had a half-elf bramble-brewer planned, but decided to go for the human category in the end.

Will be home in a few hours, folks!

WOooooooOOOooooOOOOooo!

FIONA! GET A PIC UP!! ITS BEEN MONTHS ALREADY!

2 people with unknown faces is killing the poor elf's nerves. :)

Fiona's face is known...I just want her to have an avatar pic.

If ever Ery throws a tea party, Locke will have to craft or find a straw.

Pres. can spawn one.
