Maps: Absalom Initiation

Hi all, in preparation for our scenario I've read your character profiles. I'd like to get any questions out of the way now, so that the game goes as smoothly as possible. See the questions below.

Stephani:

- I thought your HP were too low. With 2d10 +2 from Con you should have 18 HP, shouldn't you?
- I noticed you had a heavy shield. How have you handled this with lay on hands, so far? From what I know, you need a free hand for that. Is that correct?
- Your trait Eyes and ears of the city seems connected to having Abadar as a patron. Do you know if that rule is in effect for PFS? I don't mind either way. You could have easily picked any other trait that gives Perception as a class skill.
- You haven't included armor check penalty I your skills, I saw. You'll include it with your skill rolls, when appropriate?

Elvik:

- First question is about Aika, the wolf. How have you handled here so far? Will she need a separate token on the map? You can't use her as amount yet, can you? Since she's medium and you are as well. Of are there rules for that?
- How have you handled spell casting so far, with a heavy shield? You need a free hand t cast most spells, don't you?

Dusklord:

- Wicked focus on dealing with the undead. Hadn't seen that in action yet. ;)
- Am I correct that you cannot cast Abjuration and Enchantment, at all? I saw shield in you spellbook, that's why I asked.
- Are you sure your Perception score is correct?
- Is Use Magic Device a class skill for you, somehow? Your bonus in UMD seemed a bit high for a wizard.

Aeleth:

- I had a bit of trouble with the Excel character sheet, but I think I got most of it. There's some differences between that and your alias, though.
- Excel shows CMB +8, the alias shows +6. The latter seems to be correct?
- Excel shows Diplomacy +10, your alias shows +11. When I tried to do the math with +2 from Charisma, I came to a bonus of +9. Could you clarify, please?
- One of your traits says Fortune's favored. I couldn't find that one. What does it do?
- Could you check whether your HP is correct? I got 10 from first level, 5 from the level of monk and 2 from Con. No favored class bonus on the monk level, right?

Serak:

- Nothing. Everything seemed clear. :)

GM:

I think some stuff got overlooked when I rebuilt Aeleth at the start of level 2 and was shifting bonuses around. He was originally a (sane) bard at first level, hence some comments that Serak and Dusklord made about how he used to be very...different.

CMB in the alias is correct. Updated spreadsheet
Diplomacy should be 9. I had my CHA mod as +3 for some reason (probably a relic from when I was a bard?)
'Fortune's favored' was supposed to be 'fate's favored'. I was going off memory when I typed that in.
HP should be... 10+1+5+1=17. My favored class is bloodrager, but I used the human FCB to get +1 round of rage. Huh. Looks like I have 1 extra. XD Updated spreadsheet and profile.

Updated both my profile and the spreadsheet. Thanks for checking it for me!

DM Iff:

- Wicked focus on dealing with the undead. Hadn't seen that in action yet. ;) It's fun if we fight undead! Otherwise, there are likely better choices of school. Even so, it was what I wanted this character to be. :)[/ooc]
- Am I correct that you cannot cast Abjuration and Enchantment, at all? I saw shield in you spellbook, that's why I asked. [b]That is correct...I can't touch them except with UMD. Shield on my spell list is indeed an error. I've changed it to shocking grasp.

- Are you sure your Perception score is correct? Should be right: +2 skill points, +2 Alertness feat from familiar, +2 MW Perception tool (glasses?), and -2 Wisdom modifier for +4 total.[b]
- Is Use Magic Device a class skill for you, somehow? Your bonus in UMD seemed a bit high for a wizard. [b]Wizards don't have UMD for a class skill?! Wow...I guess I just assumed, or maybe from a previous edition. Modified it. Thanks for checking things over!

Silver Crusade

Female Human Paladin 4 | HP: 32/32 | AC: 24 vs smite, 20 (10+4 Tch, 20+4 FF) | CMD: 16 | F: +9, R: +6, W: +7 | Init: +0 | Perc: +6, SM: +2 | Active conditions: none

Good catch, Iff. As I was looking over your points, I realized I had not really realized a number of places I ended up, and a few I couldn't recall WHY I had taken what I did.

HP: yep, that was wrong. Why, I have no clue.

Heavy shield and lay on of hands: Actually, I am not entirely sure I have yet used that ability, or at least now during combat. I also didn't really think about needing a free hand, but now I know and will have to consider that.

Eyes and ears: well, the source I used to find that didn't have deities listed (copyright infringement, I expect), so I just missed it. Actually, that deity would have been fine, but apparently I had chosen Ragathiel and I couldn't figure out why. Finally did. Stephani's basic story line is that her father was brutally killed by a green dragon, and she believes he is haunting her to get vengeance. In reality, she is just a little crazy - however, I sort of planned to have it happen long term. Anyway, that lead to an oath of vengeance (and was going to have oath of the wyrm, but they replace the same ability), which required Ragathiel. (Also, expectation is to take the Destruction domain when that part of Sacred Servant comes around, which is also heavy into the "haunting" from her father).

Long story short: Seeker is probably what I want instead of Eyes and Ears.

AC Penalty: yah, I think because of the order I do things, I didn't update the skills, but will do so now.

Also, I don't know what I am doing with a trident. Ragathiel's preferred weapon is a bastard sword, and I seem to have a long sword and trident. Best I can do is shrug on that one.

I think I was also trying to be more of a caster overall - but I think I built this before I looked at warpriest. Was considering adding oracle or sorcerer levels down the road, but not sure I would want to do that any more. Now I am just rambling...

Will update character sheet shortly.

Hmmmm...are we still waiting for Starling to make it over? Did the other thread get shut down?

I'm not seeing that she's checked in...


Maps: Absalom Initiation

Correct. I was waiting for Starling.

I'll put up the gameplay this weekend and send them a private message if they haven't checked in by then.

Oops - I thought everyone checked in, so I just made the other thread inactive.


Maps: Absalom Initiation

I'd like to give Elvik and Starling another day to check in and reply to the introduction before moving forward.

What did you discuss with regards to posting expectations at the start of this campaign? The regular once a day, slowing down on the weekends? What about botting and moving forward if people haven't posted in a while?

We have tried to keep a pretty good pace (like you said, 1x per day min goal), although we haven't had to do much botting. We have had a few retire due to inactivity, although we generally only deal with that between scenarios. I think you were the first new recruit, actually.

GM:

To be honsest, I haven't 'used' Aika in the past games. And I can't ride her. But I can put a token on the map, it's not a problem. And I did not cast spells during fights so far. I used my healing after fights where I usually put away the shield.

Yeah, the posting expectations have been 1/day for weekdays, maybe 1x over the weekend. Like Stephani said, we made it through four scenarios without the need for a replacement, and then one of our players didn't check in for the next scenario.

I think if Starling doesn't respond, we continue without her, and then we find a replacement at the end of this one.


Maps: Absalom Initiation

Thanks for the explanation, Elvik. Feel free to add a token for Aika on the map, when we get to that stage of the scenario and you want her there. If you don't, that's also fine with me.

No problem, Starling. Glad you're with us. Could you roll your day job check, please? That way I have all the info I need to fill out the chronicle sheet, at the end.

I am going to be travelling for the next 10 days. I will occasionally be able to check in, but not regularly. Feel free to bot my character as needed.

Will do. Thanks for the heads-up.

FYI, I will be traveling today for 10 days (Washington DC, upstate NY, and Niagara Falls).

I am unsure as to my connectivity and time availability, but will post when I'm able.

Please bot me, if necessary! :)


Maps: Absalom Initiation

Hi folks. I hate to ask this, but is everyone still on board for this game? It's been a couple of days since the last combat ended. A couple of you haven't posted at all since then, and the others haven't really made a move to get the game forward. That makes me think that people aren't really enjoying the game, or possibly expecting me to drop your characters in the next combat encounter? I know that Stephani and Dusklord have been travelling, but it seems like we're stalling nonetheless.

Have the other people been busy with RL stuff as well, or is it something about the scenario or my GM'ing style? Please let me know.

Hey there, sorry I'm still here, just a little busy with work and nursing an injured arm, so my off-times tend to be spent in bed rather than in front of a PC. =(

Im here, I just have a lot of real life going on so my posts in all of my games been very reactionary of late. I'm in the middle of a huge move right now, so packing and all that is taking up almost all of my free time, not to mention I had to get everything set up to run a table in the special Shifty is running.

Sorry to be slow on posting recently...still traveling through Sunday.

But I'm very much into this, and hope we can continue through the season, even if we have to replace any lost players.

Will try to keep up!

I got stuck in a big storm in Florida/Georgia yesterday, so will delay me one more day...

Just a heads up, that I will be on holiday between June 15th and June 30th. Should still be able to post, but don't be alarmed if I might miss out on updating a day or so.

I know I was just recently gone, but I'll also be completely offline on a camping trip Thursday through Saturday. It's been a busy June!

I have finished reporting this scenario. Please check whether your credit was applied properly. Also I've finished the chronicles. They can be found here.

So, where do we go from here...?

Well, we probably all need a day or two to level up. :)

According to our >> list <<, Aeleth will take a hiatus to GM the next scenario, The Sanos Abduction.

However, I just realized, I have already received credit for it. I do still have a GM star that I can use to replay it, however, so I will plan on doing that.

Many thanks for running that! Let's take a couple days to level (and enjoy the 4th, if applicable), then start back up!

Yep. I believe that after the previous scenario, we discussed what scenario I should run next in light of Stephani having played Sanos Abduction.

We found that none of you had played Midnight Mauler, so that was suggested as a replacement. If we do Midnight Mauler, the advantage is that I know the scenario better (having played it) and Stephani can save her replay for another scenario. But I'm happy to do either.

One more thing. GM Iff, please put me on slow track for this scenario. I am on 5.5 XP at the moment, so putting me on slow track for this scenario gets me to 6xp, in line with the rest of the party.

Midnight Mauler works for me as well. Sorry for being sparse the last few days, real life kinda got wonky.

Midnight Mauler sounds good. I've skimmed it once in trying to decide whether to run it, but don't recall any details. Should be fine.

Aeleth, I have a busy day today, but will update your chronicle sheet tomorrow to put you on slow track and add extra gold for your day job.

Think we can make this thread inactive now?


Maps: Absalom Initiation

Yes, I probably should. I had held off until now, because I still promised you a wrap-up post, with the VC congratulating you as such. Just haven't been able to find the time and right space of mind to do so. I'll give myself until tonight, then make it inactive before the weekend.
