[PFS] PbP Gameday 3 - The Half Dead City

Hi there! This is a recruitment thread for the PFS-legal section of Book 1 of Mummy's Mask - 'The Half Dead City':

A Pathfinder adventure for 1st and 2nd level characters.

In the city of Wati, the church of Pharasma holds a lottery allowing explorers to delve the tombs of the city's vast necropolis in search of the nation's lost glories. In the course of investigating dusty tombs the heroes encounter ancient guardians and devious traps - will the adventurers defeat these obstacles, or will they fall to the undead defenders of the city's necropolis?

Written by Jim Groves.

If you are interested in playing, let me know :-)

Please note that this game is part of the Official Pathfinder Society PbP Game Day. For more information please follow the link here.

The official start date of the PbP Game Day (and hence for this scenario) is on November 1st, 2014.

The PbP Game Day end date is February 1st, 2015.

Are you planning on running the whole AP? If so, then I am interested. If not then I will stick with what I have.

I think that I would have trouble running (as a PbP) the whole AP in three months ;-)

If you are not otherwise full, I will roll up a healer. If six other people are interested, most likely so, then I will withdraw my claim.

I'd be interested in this.

Alright, I will roll up a skald if others do not fill it up.

Are you taking the first six PFS legal players or will you keep the recruitment open until later in the month and select a team from all of the applicants?

Well, if this were a 'home game' PbP, yes, I would select applicants, but since this is a PFS game, in the same way that I would not 'pick and choose' from the people who turned up to a game day that I was running, I will not do so here.

So, essentially, yes, I will take the first six applicants. If there are more than that, I will see about creating a second table, and trying to balance them as much as possible.

I'm interested..just checking to be sure is this going to be the PFS parts or the entire first module? (I'm in either way)

I'll have to think what I'd want to play though..but I have a lot of lvl 1's (maybe 2's) who have some xp on them

As mentioned in the first line of my initial post, this will be for the PFS-legal portion of the first book ;-)

I got confused when you mentioned having trouble getting through the whole AP in 3 months ...sounded like a challenge ;)

Ah, no, that was a response to Nohwear about running the whole AP - not something that I feel is achievable in three months ;-)

Just to be clear:

This is for Book 1 (the PFS adaptable section) only.

If you've got a spot I'd be interested

I am very interested in your game. My magus would love to join the group. She is now 2nd level.

this is Robert Henry's entry, a ranger (trapper) who finished the confirmation that espiers to become an eldrich knight, I will update his gear and be ready by Nov. 1

Pray tell, might I join you on this fine endeavor?

I'd like to join if there's a spot. Fighter 1.

Current List:

1) Dr Strang (Cleric 1)
2) Revvy Bitterleaf (???)
3) Stemboy (???)
4) Dolres (Magus 2)
5) Eldlen Meirdrerel (Ranger(Trapper)2)
6) Erevan Duskstar (Fighter 1)

Alt 1) Nohwear (Skald 1)

If we generate sufficient interest, I *could* be tempted to run a second table - let's see how we go :-)

I am completely retracting interest.

@Nohwear: No worries!

Current List:

1) Dr Strang (Cleric 1)
2) Revvy Bitterleaf (???)
3) Stemboy (???)
4) Dolres (Magus 2)
5) Eldlen Meirdrerel (Ranger(Trapper)1)
6) Erevan Duskstar (Fighter 1)

Thank you!

I'm quite tempted to bring my boreal sorcerer. I need to upload his information but since we're lacking dedicated arcane it might help.

-Stemboy

Just to let you know before we begin I am making some purchases.
I am buying a
silver masterwork battle axe 400 gd
Cold Iron masterwork battle axe 340 gd
and selling my old battle axe for 10
Please let me know if I mis-calculated anything thanks.

I'm up for this. Would probably have to roll a new character and thinking about an oracle for this.

Will have stats etc up soon :)

@Luke (Jolly Here) thinking about doing a nature oracle and they can gain a combat mount. I want to take a half elf, but could I take the wolf companion as I am not going to use it for riding, but merely as battle companion? Taking a large horse with me kinda makes tomb hunting difficult ;).

Hoping for a second table!

@Delphine/Jolly: Unfortunately, as this is for PFS credit, you can't make house rules :-/

That said, if all you want is a battle companion, have you considered the Lunar Mystery? One of the options for the 'battle companion' you gain from that is a Wolf :-)

I'm juggling nature and life mysteries. First for more tankyness (21 ac at lvl 1 thank you) and second for mega healing and channeling which is bound to be useful ;).

If you're not full up or need an alternate, here's my Ifrit Bard for consideration.

Cheers!

Eldlen is now updated, I believe everything is in order, if not please let me know. Also, I would like to spend his two prestige points for a wand of healing.

Count me in too if there is room, or a second table. I am willing to make up a character to fill most any role.

Moar people for a second table!

I would love to come if a second table opens up. I have a lot of 1s and 2s, so it would just depend on table make-up.

Current List:

1) Dr Strang (Cleric 1)
2) Revvy Bitterleaf (???)
3) Hinrik Larsen (Sorceror 1)
4) Dolres (Magus 2)
5) Eldlen Meirdrerel (Ranger(Trapper)1)
6) Erevan Duskstar (Fighter 1)
7) Delphine Tarrasquel (Oracle 1)
8) Ajah Denasi (Bard 1)
9) Skorn (???)
10) GM Hills (???)

I'm Sorcerer 2 btw, just in case that becomes important for party make up.

@Hinirk: Fair enough :-)

Current List:

1) Dr Strang (Cleric 1)
2) Revvy Bitterleaf (???)
3) Hinrik Larsen (Sorceror 2)
4) Dolres (Magus 2)
5) Eldlen Meirdrerel (Ranger(Trapper)1)
6) Erevan Duskstar (Fighter 1)
7) Delphine Tarrasquel (Oracle 1)
8) Ajah Denasi (Bard 1)
9) Skorn (???)
10) GM Hills (???)

+1 for the second table!

I still don't know what i will be playing since it will be a new character.

I think I'll go for the life oracle. It seems we can use the healing.

Remind me if we need to be PFS legal for this run. I know we can get PFS credit but it can be applied to another character, right?

DM if you do make a 2nd table, I'd be interested.

@Skorn: Yes, you need to be PFS legal, since we are running this as an 'adaptable', and not in campaign mode.

@DoubleGold: You are welcome to join :-)

Current List:

1) Dr Strang (Cleric 1)
2) Revvy Bitterleaf (???)
3) Hinrik Larsen (Sorceror 2)
4) Dolres (Magus 2)
5) Eldlen Meirdrerel (Ranger(Trapper)1)
6) Erevan Duskstar (Fighter 1)
7) Delphine Tarrasquel (Oracle 1)
8) Ajah Denasi (Bard 1)
9) Skorn (???)
10) GM Hills (???)
11) DoubleGold (???)

Sweet, here he is.

Very good. Will you place the first 6 at one table and the second 6 at the next? Or will you try to balance things a little? I'll work up what I want to play today, but can remain flexible to fill a roll that is needed since I do not have a first level character to play.

Here is the break down - This might help folks decide. I have never played an alchemist and am thinking about trying that out.

Divine:
Dr Strang
Delphine Tarrasquel

Arcane:
Hinrik Larsen

Melee:
Erevan Duskstar
Eldlen Meirdrerel (some skills, obviously)
Dolres

Skills:
Ajah Denasi

Undecided:
Revvy Bitterleaf
Skorn (Me)
GM Hills
DoubleGold

Scorn, doublegold here, elf barbarian is my category.

I would recommend splitting up the higher levels as well. They have wands of clw etc with them which will be useful for all the new lvl 1s ;)

I've got PP from my first session I haven't spent yet to get a wand of Cure Light, and I think I'll be adding another Chronicle from DM credit to get some more gold and PP to spend before the game starts.

I am intending to split-up the level 2s, and the people with some adventures under there belts.

For people sitting on the fence regarding what to play, I recommend having some heavy-hitters, and a trap-finder per party; whilst this may be *meant* for level 1-2 characters, there are some moderately difficult sections.

I don't have a trapfinder..I think I'll be bringing a non-mounted lvl 2 cavalier then and to try to be the heavy-hitter

I've been toying with making a dwarven trapsmith. I don't mind making one instead of using Hinrik?

I would like to join the second table if there is still room. I have a 3rd level sorcerer or a druid 1/wizard 1 wanna-be mystic theurge available.
