PbP GameDay 3: PFS 00-22 Fingerprints of the Fiend (Inactive)

Game Master Chris Marsh

Welcome to my table. A quick introduction, my name is Chris and I've been playing Pathfinder Society since Season 0. I've been playing this family of RPGs since the final days of 1st edition. You'll find that I'm a very reasonable GM. To create a fair and fun "table" let me get some bookkeeping rules out of the way.

0. Please be honest. There's no way I can stop you from cheating, but if you're cheating....why play? Also make sure you're all aware of the PFS rules. This ranges from wealth and XP to no PvP. Don't forget about Paizo's forum rules!

1. Please use the text formatting and discussion vs. game play tabs correctly.

2. Please provide access to your PC stats somehow: your Paizo profile, an Obsidian Portal link, a googledoc, etc. I prefer to have stuff in your header so I can reference it quickly.

3. As this is an official table, no one can make decisions about your character's actions. I ask that you endeavor to post AT LEAST once every 24 hours. More is better. That being said, if you trust your teammates and are willing to give them "marching orders" I will allow it, but you've got to stick by their decision, no mulligans. If you're going to be away for more than 24 hours, please post in the Discussion tab.

4. I would rate myself as being fairly strong with the rules. If you have something a reasonable person would consider an oddball combination or corner case combo, don't surprise me with it let me know (and "show" me that you own the resources.)

5. Have fun. While I can't play fast and loose with the rules in PFS, particularly eloquent, exciting, and just plain awesome posts can get you pretty far.

If you guys don't mind, PM me your emails so that I can share the battle map.

Galdur can cast fly, enlarge person* or both.
*If carrying is needed. I am not a fan of carrying though. It looks like we have miles to climb & that screams out (insanely) ambush.
I don't have many 3rd level spells though, but with a small party, I am glad to use the resources we have early.

No worries waiting for Wreck. It's a small party, and the module runs quickly anyway, so I'm confident we'll still move quickly.

A couple weapon blanches would be good. I almost grabbed a ring of feather fall, but decided to wait one more chronicle so I can get the ring of the ram. Both I think would be useful in the near future I fear.

Speaking of the near future: I would like to purchase a couple weapon blanches (presuming the opportunity after the briefing). Constructs are often adamantium, but Galdur has not faced enough fiends to know what might be useful against them. If it helps, maybe someone else in the party knows.
knowledge: 1d20 ⇒ 9 +10 (engineering), +9 (planes), +7 (all others except geography, I dinnae have any geography.)

Also I would like to cast guidance on any of the climbers--see what my ancestors can tell us about climbing or cliff faces. :)

I don't mind you making purchases before the expedition, that's why I added the deus ex machina

And done. I will purchase a golembane scarab pendant. 2500gp

And thats that =^^=

Omrax will buy a potion of spider climb to use instead of the fly for this cliff.

Galdur will purchase an adamantium weapon blanch (and apply it to his cold iron hammer).

Is the bow magic (invulnerability armor)?

Galdur's expendables:
hp (96): 79 remaining (84 if not a magic bow)

Summon Monster (6/day): 5 remaining
1st (5/day): 5
2nd (4/day): 4
3rd (3/day): 2 remaining

(Not to be a pain... but how many HP do the elementals have?) I think they were destroyed. If not, one of them will hit. Let me know.

You are not being a pain. If any one is the pain that is me, I should do more to make the GMs job easier :) I provided the link, but will track their hp here. Medium air elementals have 30 hp. 13 damage from the spell (I thought it was more when I read it yesterday

Not sure where Alan would get a running start inside a small cart, but 32 (or 52) should cover 30' between carts

That was my question, without a 10 ft. running start the DC for a 30 ft. jump is 60. Again it looks cool, so the GM can rule it how he likes. :)

Monks (and I'm assuming brawlers) ALWAYS count as running.

Monks (and I'm assuming brawlers) ALWAYS count as running.

Thanks, I did not realize the always running part...at least after 5th level...nice touch for monks.

Cool! Me neither :)

Just a thought. Fingerprints of the Fiend is the first in an unofficial trilogy. If you guys have fun throughout this one, then I'm more than happy to run the whole thing. Not sure if part 2 would fit inside Gameday 3, but I'm happy to keep running.

So far im having fun. Despite having to climb my way up most of the first part

D'Oh! I just realized I purchased an adamantine blanch at the beginning expecting we might run into constructs... :)

Whoops :P

I do that all the time. With 13 active PFS characters I have to study before every game.

Sorry I'm slow to post, but I have to get my licensing paperwork done today. I'll be back in action ASAP

G'Day all,

I started a new job which doesn't allow me to get online in the morning. My tasks for the morning at my shop are now crunched with those of the afternoon. I am still lurking and posting, but I will be making shorter posts until I am back on schedule and I reduce my number of PbPs.

No problem. We've all been there. Good luck at the new job!

DJR: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (17) + 23 = 40

sailor: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

I would like to skip my day job for the treasure map. Also please note Galdur is on slow track. :) He levels up with this one. I need to see how work goes, but am interested in part 2. Did you want to make it part of Game day 3?

Thanks for the slow track heads up. I'll fix the chronicle. Anyone else slow track?

Part 2 is also quick (part 3 is a bit longer.) I'm confident we can fit it in for Gameday 3.
