[PbP Community MTS III] - Race for the Runecarved Key - GM HQ. (Inactive)

Game Master Nik B.

@GM Yogadragon... so, I've been in that situation before myself. You just need to look into her motivation. She wants to get away with the Key, not kill a lot of folks. So, yeah, if she has the chance to escape, she should. Remember, she does have a flee trigger in her tactics as well (down to 10 hp or less, so at 1-2, if she has taken 18hp, she is getting close).

Think of it this way, there are LOTS of Pathfinders (and other folks) around the Cathedral, looking for the Key. She wants to get away with it. She has no motivation to kill everyone, just to get away. Plus, taking the time to finish all six Pathfinders could be enough time for her to get caught, so...

Yeah, I would say have her flee if all six Pathfinders go down.

@shifty. The gift certificate winner (one of them) at BatPony's table is a retired VC who wants to gift his certificate back to BatPony.

My table of 1-2s is still flailing away at the Assassin. They took down the cultists easily enough, but their only martial with darkvision was tied up in that fight for a while, and is only now heading into the darkness toward the assassin. They make take her down before the end, but I doubt we'll get through any waves.

Noted!

@Yogadragon - The assassins main aim is to make off with the key, it would be against their best interests to hang around at the scene of a combat for a protracted period to deal with downed pursuers. Flee, flee!

Yay! Half of the tables have had a success with the waves!

Cool, as some have only just got there I'll let us run out that last two days, so close may as well let it go the distance.

A great effort all!

My guys just wrapped up a grueling wave 2, and are going to ride those 2 rounds of healing straight to the end!

LOL nice - well they have around 36 hours. :)

...24 hours until I drop the wrap-up posts!

And my table just finished their wave three, albeit in a bit of a rush.

My table finally finished off the assassin, thanks to a timely crit from a falchion-wielding bard. I'm not going to start them on the waves, since we have less than 12 hours left.

Sweet! Well they have 11 hours til curtains.

As long as they see the summon portals - otherwise Sheila might seem strange appearing to defeat the non-existent hordes :p

I described portals opening up and brave teams of pathfinders around them fighting off the increasingly-deadly monstrosities emerging from them. Given how slow that last combat was, I don't see any chance of them finishing another combat today.

Oh Great and Poweful Overseer have you sent out your messages to the winners of the Gift Certificates?

Not yet sorry, I was all set to get them done then got shafted with work, they are going out over the next 90 mins.

O no worries I understand that

Will Sheila's horde-conquering be going out around the same time?

Sort of :)

Last post is out.

I'm doing Gift Certs now.

Well done everyone!

And a special thank you to Shifty for running another special! Appreciate giving the opportunity for us to be able to participate in these events always!

Yeah, that was lots of fun. Thanks, Shifty!

Total for 4E is now updated as event is over. So close to getting that 3rd wave down.

Is there a special chronicle for each subtier's players as the Special mentions? Or is that a gencon only thing?

Yes, thank you for organizing, Shifty! It was fun :)

Big shifty thumbs up! Thanks for the organizing, the long hours and the keeping us all on track through site outages and GM outages.

Thanks guys!

It was the most pain-free event I have been involved in from a Player and GM perspective, very well executed :)

@GMTyranius - sadly that was just some Gencon thing where apparently there was some extra event.

Gift certs have all been distributed to the relevant players PM box.

All GM boons distributed.

All Player boons distributed.

HQ Element all reported.

On that basis I am tracking that my admin is pretty much complete, barring the 'Convention Post Activity Report'

Woohoo! Thanks for running a great special!

Hey Shifty, i sent you a PM!

Answered :)

Thank you for running Shifty, it was a lot of fun!

That was a lot of fun. I hope I did not curse too many tables. :)

Thank you, Shifty, and thank you, backup GMs.

Thanks Shifty, and a special thanks to OMB for excellent backup!

Hmm

Thanks all, a great group to work with :)
