[PbP Gameday V] 7-00 The Sky Key Solution (Tier 1-2) (Inactive)

Game Master GM Red

Sorry all with Thanksgivin in Canada and me cooking and heading to my parents for dinner took away all my free posting time.

Same here Uesugi, I just got home from my in-laws.

It's pretty late so that'll be my last post. The quality isn't great, I'm too tired to describe things in as much detail as I usually do. :)

Goodnight!

If Uesugi hits, he definitely kills this clone. With Blaster and Gallix's attack, her HP is... quite low.

GM, have you been given an indication of how many vault successes we still have to pass?

I mean, 20:35 PM here...you know? :)
The USA & Canada, i don't know the time difference without looking it up.

So bot me where needed, as you guys are awake longer from the time me typing this, than i am.

I can only hope i'll wake up to some good news.

It's 2:39 PM here.
I haven't been given an indication, but GM Mars did say that we have nothing to worry about... So I guess we can't be that far off!

what boons are we getting for clearing all this hehehe?

Hmm... You want me to ruin the surprise? ;) You'll find out in just two more days.

Plus, there are Gameday boons that you have to roll for. The chances are a little on the low side (1 in 10), but who knows, you just might get lucky. We'll take care of those once we wrap up.

no I was kidding about revealing the boons I'm fine waiting.

but how many clones we going to kill it will take a year to clean off this green goo.

Since she is lurking here,

How are things over at yours, Hmm?

Code Green means we're at 0.8 times the number of tables for vault successes. We need 1.25x.
Given there are 33 tables, that means roughly 15 more successes are needed in total.
Sounds like tomorrow will be more turbo posting. I'll do my best!

ack!! At least I'll be at work. We could get through a third of that just our table alone if we have to.

I'll be in the office tomorrow all day also so I'll be able to post frequently and can bot someone if necessary.

Same goes for me. I'll post likely starting around 8:30 am EDT and continuing after that as much as I can while at work.
I didn't update gameplay yet because I was waiting for D, but I'm turning in for the night either way.
To speed things up tomorrow, i'll always include a will save at the beginning of initiative if Sirettis acts before the clone.

Since she is lurking here,

How are things over at yours, Hmm?

My guys are starting to drag, and I have no idea if there are simulcra left to fight. But there's no other way for us to get vault successes without fighting simulcra...

I am momentarily confused.

Hmm

Hmm, the PDF only says that Code Green weakens the real Arodeth and her skill checks... Right? I don't see much about the simulacra.

PMed you.

Yes, the simulcra are there if you want to still fight.

Hmm

Sorry to say, but it's 6:08 AM here, i won't be able to post between 7:00 AM and 16:15 PM...darnit. :(

A bit of a setback to hear we're still pretty pressured.

Ahhh! We're getting so close! Let's do our part and try to put away one or two more of these baddies at least. Not even half of the tables need to take out one more simulacrum, so if we can maybe pick up for one of the slower posting or higher tier tables, we might just make it!

I am travelling much of tomorrow, so won't be posting frequently.

I have reason to believe we are in great shape and don't need that many more successes, but rather much fewer. Sorry for my misguided calculations earlier.

We'll run at a speed similar to yesterday but there's no need to stress about it anymore. :)

Red, may my bard Jasmine post "Let's let Aroden lie" in your gameplay thread? I had her deliver the one aid token we got, planning to have her act as a runner to other tables. I'd love to send you guys off with a song, even if there are no mechanical effects allowed since I never got another aid token to distribute.

(Oh, and Magabeus's team talked Lady Arodeth down late last night! He finally got the vault success he so badly wanted for his guys! So add that into your calculations, too.)

Hmm

You bet you can. Go for it! :)

We did it! We did it!

BTW, if any of you ever apply for my games in the future, please tell me you were part of the Red Arm of Absalom. It won't be a guarantee of getting in, but I was so impressed with you guys and your boundless enthusiasm.

Thanks for helping us all get home.

Hmm

Thanks for adding to the enthusiasm Hmm and please thank your bard for the nice song as well.

Yeah, thanks for following along and for your encouragement, Hmm.

Everyone, please roll a D20 and a D6 and we'll see if you get an Official Gameday V Boon (tm)!

Boon!?: 1d20 ⇒ 181d6 ⇒ 5

You get a boon on a 16 or a 20. The D6 is to decide which one, should you win. Sorry Mr Peppers!

Everyone still gets a Chronicle with 3 boons on it, however.

BOON time: 1d20 ⇒ 12
BOON time: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Also wanted to say this to everyone. It was a pleasure running this with you all. I do hope the Red Arm of Absalom will be able to get together for more scenarios in the near future.

Boon roll: 1d20 ⇒ 51d6 ⇒ 5

I'll also add my thanks to Hmm for the encouragement and support over the last several days. And thanks for the offer to give us special consideration for future games! It'd be a big honor to play with such a vet! :)

Still need rolls from Blaster, Sirettis, and D. Also, if you have a Day Job but have not yet rolled for it, please do so now.

Craft (alchemy) dayjob: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Gotta make that $$$!

1d20 ⇒ 20
1d6 ⇒ 4

Day job, Covert agent: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

grats D!!!!

oops Day Job forgot

Day Job, Painting: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Uesugi will paint the scene of Gallix mutating

Thanks, but it's yet to be seen if D. can benefit from it.
If things are class related...it might be tricky, and force multiclassing to benefit from it.

I'd love to play with this group again in the future.
At which we hopefully all are stronger.

Keep spamming your slumber hex, Sirettis. That's helped us with half or more of our victories.

That and Red's will saves regarding those hexes ^^

Edit:
Red, what is GM Mars referring to, with the achievement of the 2nd objective accomplished. Is it a rarity for gamedays to achieve the 2nd objective?

D gets a boon referred to as: Player Boon #4: I hear you’re going to the elemental planes soon…, "Genie Grudge."
I have no idea what it does as I don't think that's been released yet. :)

Maybe not a rarity, but do you remember how you got all those Victory Points in the temple as well as successes with the anchors? At the end of the scenario, those points are all tallied up, and if the total is 10 * number of tables, only then do you get the second prestige point.

Sirettis definitely gets MVP in my eyes. I never imagined when we formed this group how many CDG would be happening.

I know, right?

If she can increase the chances of strengthening the chance the enemy fails its will save, such as doom or evil eye hex (which is one i highly recommend, as you can spam all de-buffs), she'd be a real saving factor in dangerous fights.

Sirettis your slumbers were a life saver on many occasions!

I think my next character may be a witch. Sirettis has inspired me!

Now to see if I'm as lucky as D:

GM boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 91d6 ⇒ 6

Awww!

Chronicles are more or less ready, I'm just waiting for Blaster's boon roll and email.

Vanilla witch, or an archetype?

That remains to be seen. I do like the hair ability that Sirettis has. I'm not sure if it's an archetype that grants that, though.

There is, called the White haired witch. But that gives up all hexes, in exchange for the hair as a weapon with ever increasing reach and combat maneuvers.

It can be taken as a hex, however.

I'll also add my thanks to Hmm for the encouragement and support over the last several days. And thanks for the offer to give us special consideration for future games! It'd be a big honor to play with such a vet! :)

I always laugh when people call me a vet... I'm not even 3 stars yet! I'm still a baby as far as GMs go. This was my very first special, just like GM Red. (Though I wound up GMing my second special live at a con in the middle of this one.)

As for cheering you all on, how could I not? Way to rock the apocalypse, guys.

Thanks GM Red and the whole team for being awesome.

Hmm

I can't believe I didn't dot this thread! I have so much reading to do!
But first:
Boon: 1d20 ⇒ 171d6 ⇒ 2

Nope, so close!

And my day job.
Perform (Wind): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

That explains why you posted in Gameplay and not in Discussion frequently. :)

Everyone except Blaster should have received their Chronicle sheets now. Blaster will get his once he checks in, rolls his boon, and sends me his e-mail address.

After that, I'll be able to report the table (and D's boon).

This is my first witch. It was a blast to play!

The Slumber hex went much better than I thought it would- I didn't realize one round would do so well. But the witch needs to be close, and there's a decent Will Save, and it only KOs one enemy at a time.

Good thing those simulacra came at us one at a time. Like I said, The Dalsine Affair has a nasty BBEG that can kill level 1s with a 40+ damage crit if he rolls well. Arodeth froze Uesugi solid when she got a chance.

This is a character I've had in my head for a while- I'm just glad I finally got to write her.

I always laugh when people call me a vet... I'm not even 3 stars yet! I'm still a baby as far as GMs go. This was my very first special, just like GM Red. (Though I wound up GMing my second special live at a con in the middle of this one.)

If you're a baby GM, I'm a single celled GM. Lol.

This will be my fifth reported table. I've played Pathfinder a bunch through the years, but only started PFS about a year ago.

PbPs can take months to get through a scenario so racking up tables takes time. I've wanted to try recruiting for fast-paced PbPs (like 4-5 posts per day at a minimum) but I'm not sure if there would be any/enough interest. You ever try that, Hmm?

mmmmm fast paced PbP sounds awesome! Especially for this time of year while I'm in the office :)

PS, Mr Peppers is buying a round of drinks at the Pathfinder lodge, everyone is welcome! Gameplay thread!

This will be my 57th table! (I'm sooo close to three stars!) Though if we're talking just play-by-posts, I only have a few more than you do. I GM one play-by-post at a time, and give it my all. I can't do multiple tables at once like some GMs. Just don't have the bandwidth!

I GM mostly face to face, but I love doing Play-by-Posts. I usually ask people for a pace of 2-3 posts a day in my recruitments. However, I do think there would be interest in 4-5 posts a day. I just don't want the posting rate to go so fast that it exceeds people's capacities for roleplay, so I usually go for that slightly lower number!

It still allows us to do multiple rounds of combat in a day, and get stuff done. If everyone posts 2-3 times a day (and if they're mostly in the same time zone) we can usually get through a combat in a single day and we can often finish in three weeks or so.

Hmm
