This is the discussion thread for our bonus PbP Game Day 2 game…First Steps Part 1.
We'll keep it open...my other Confirmation game should finish next week sometime; I'm sure at least two will want to join us.
…and that's four. I'll get the gameplay thread going tomorrow morning.
We should finish up by the end of this week. Although I already know most of you it would save me some scrambling around if you gave me your info again (PFS #, real name & email in case you win a boon). I'll report and roll for boons at the end. Once again I'll roll for boons alphabetically by our characters first names so the order will be:
Caith
GM Beman
Lady Drusilla
The Longstreet Kid
Thorleif
No worries. For some reason on the reporting form that the online VOs use asks for more information than is normally required to report an event.
One or two good hits on each of the remaining foes will do the trick...
Alrighty...even though The Longstreet Kid really needs to buy some new dice; with a 4 on 1 situation and Larkin completely surrounded I'm going to call this one. I'll wrap things up in game in a little bit.
Here is your Chronicle Sheet...let me know if you have trouble printing it out.
Work is starting to pick up for me; and after that I'll be on vacation for a few weeks. I'm fairly certain I won't be able to finish a game in time for the last day to report for the PbP Game Day.
Keep an eye out though...I'm sure I'll post another recruitment thread once the dust settles!
Boon Rolls
A double boon whammy! Caith & Longstreet Kid get their choice of boons! PM me which one you want at your leisure.
Boon 1:
Lingering Resonance: A recent encounter with an enemy spellcaster left your body strangely receptive to spell effects. At the beginning of a scenario, you may announce that you are using this boon. The next time that you fail a saving throw against any spell or spell-like ability from an enemy spellcaster, have your GM write the name of the spell below. Choose one of the following benefits, and cross the other off your Chronicle sheet.
• When you cast the listed spell, you may increase the DC of the saving throw by 2.
• When you roll a saving throw against the listed spell, you gain a +4 bonus on the save.
You may use this bonus once for free, after which you should check the box below; each additional use of the selected benefit costs 1 Prestige Point.
Boon 2:
Long Distance Support: You heard the Decemvirate’s call to arms as the Fifth Crusade began, but for whatever reason the society did not send you to the front lines immediately. You may nonetheless send extra supplies to aid your fellow Pathfinders. At the end of any scenario that does not take place in Mendev or the Worldwound, you may choose to spend 1 Prestige Point to send a cache of necessary supplies north to aid the war effort. On a line below, have your GM record where the scenario took place and initial the entry. Upon filling all five lines, you gain two benefits.
First, you gain a Mendevian Commendation for your tireless efforts to supply the crusade. A Mendevian Commendation grants you a cumulative +1 bonus on Charisma-based skill checks to influence Mendevian Crusaders (maximum +3).
Second, as a swift action while fighting a creature with the demon subtype or bearing an unholy symbol of a demon lord, you may grant all allies that you can see within 60 feet a +2 circumstance bonus on attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws against those creatures for one minute. When you use this second ability, cross it off your Chronicle sheet.
Boon 3:
Mendevian Weapon Training: Queen Galfrey of Mendev understands both that poorly equipped crusaders are of little use to the ongoing war against demonkind and that an inadequately trained crusader cannot make effective use of good equipment. As a result, those who dedicate themselves to the Fifth Crusade have access to training and equipment that might not otherwise be available. When you would be permitted a Day Job check, you may instead spend 4 Prestige Points to receive intensive training with a specific weapon or suit of armor. You receive a masterwork version of the weapon or armor, and you gain proficiency in that specific weapon or armor (but not others of its type). If you are already proficient with the selected armor or weapon, you instead gain a +2 bonus to CMD against disarm and sunder combat maneuvers targeting the chosen item.
Choose the weapon or armor from the following list: breastplate, glaive, heavy shield, or longsword.
Boon 4:
Moment of Glory: Whether it is by fate, fortune, or circumstance, you are able to tap into a hidden reserve of power at just the right moment to perform a truly extraordinary feat. By activating this boon as a free action, you become a mythic character (1st mythic tier) for 3 rounds. If you fall unconscious due to hit point loss during this time, you automatically stabilize without needing to attempt a Constitution check. In addition, once before this effect ends, you may use the surge mythic ability to increase any d20 roll you just made by rolling 1d6 and adding it to the result. Using the surge is an immediate action taken after the result of the original roll is revealed. This can change the outcome of the roll.
When you use this boon, cross it off your Chronicle sheet; however, anytime you successfully complete (earning the maximum possible number of Prestige Points) a scenario that using the “hard mode” option, you may have the GM sign this boon. You may use this boon one additional time for each such signature you receive.

I have been HANGING on this boon. Saves me a trait for this character.
I've played #5-01 The Glass River Rescue or #0-08 Slave Pits of Absalom already, sadly.
Event is reported. They've been processing these in batches so there is a good chance that those who won boons will receive them prior to the event officially coming to a close.
I'll keep this game active for a few while you decide on your next game. Mists of Mwangi is fun and quick; but since we've got some veterans here I'm sure at least one of you has played it. Icebound Outpost maybe?

Alright guys, give me a day or two to find a couple other players and get this sorted out and I'll have a game thread ready. And Beman, thanks for leaving this thread open long enough for us to get this figured out.
P.S. I forgot that the Kid's played Tide of Twilight so we'll be playing Citadel of Flame.
