The Brute Squad Matrimony (Inactive)

Game Master ThorGN

I was under the impression I got that. What more did I need to do to earn her support?

You have earned her support of the Pathfinder Society in general. However, you have not convinced her to support the Cult of Lissala campaign in particular because of your lack of knowledge of the military situation in Varisia. There was a check back on the boat at the beginning. I will allow you to earn you Faction PP if you can further the Silver Crusade’s Season 4 general goal.

I don't even know how to do that..

So I died ignobly without really doing anything and I don't even get my faction PP?

Silver Crusade: Learn about Thassilon and prepare the unsuspecting populace for a coming war with evil.

Yeah, I don’t really know how you do that either.

We're at a wedding. Don't suppose Amira could help using her knowledge could she? Because so far I haven't accomplished anything this mod.

If you want to let her in on your faction goals and she is up for it, I don’t see why not. You will have to ask her in character after you finish your, um, ‘private conversation’.

Who says I have to wait? Get in the tent, Amira! And I meant the military knowledge thing that I have no skill in.

And you single handedly influenced the Captain for the Society. That’s something!

And yet I can't even get her support for my faction.

Yes - just take of Yandu's contribution. I already voiced earlier I will chip in.

With the way Brute ran her, I wasn't sure if he counted it as mission success or not. From what I remember she's supposed to be a really "This job has been in my family for 5 generations" kind of gal, so I wasn't sure if he was gonna let a high diplomacy cut it in place of Kn(H). They shoehorned some really weird knowledges in for a few of this scenario's faction missions. Mine was either a Kn(Geography) or Bluff to do trade.

But, yeah, I'm Abadarian and contract-bound to "Explore, Report, and Cooperate" (being really bad at the first, and really good at the second.) There's no way I'd refuse to help, even if I despise this woman. All ye got to do is ask. We got a sad, little boat ride home in which to do it.

So, I'm having a great time, and I'm more than willing to keep playing with you all. With Gencon coming up, I just need to make sure my characters are free for the con. I've got a level 9 sorcerer, (soon) 8 ranger, 4 bard, and 3 cleric that I need free. I think we can definitely play a complete one before then.

And Brute, don't feel at all bad about being deadly here. I really enjoyed this module, running away and all.

If I end up being insane and wealthy enough to go to Gencon by myself, I should probably plan a little bit as well. I have a 3rd level maybe going into a PBP now, 5th level Witch, a 6th level Bard, and a 13th level Cavalier, so I should be dandy regardless. Plus, there's always the fact I get 1 credit a week from my local weekly game.

Gencon is Aug 15 - Aug 18? Work internet is being a butt about finding this out definitively.

Yes it is. They've expanded a crazy amount this year. There are SO many options, including an option for especially deadly games with higher rewards.

So flying from New Hamphsire, using some tricks and connections, I'm doing the entire trip (not including food or purchases) for under $500.

That's a heckuva deal, Bishop. Nicely done.

Yea, the knowledge checks to impress her make little sense. She's a warrior woman, why would she care?

So, I'm having a great time, and I'm more than willing to keep playing with you all.

Can't disagree with these points at all. :-)

For various reasons, I currently have three 3rd-level PCs in need of advancing prior to PaizoCon in July. So personally, I would prefer to stay in that range, should others want to play some more.

I was actually hoping to play something higher, mainly so I don't have to play Adamus. How close are Erin and Amira to 7?

I am 7th as of this chronicle thanks to the magic of DM credits and forethought, but I need to manhandle my PFS Coordinator Bro to report the session for "The Fortress of the Nail" (because there's no way in Hell she'd survive it. 10 Con, GO!)

This module pushed Bishop to 8. I've got a few in the 2-3 range. I'm wide open for tier 7-11.

This is Erin's first scenario as 6th.

Well that is a shame. Have any of you played Dawn of the Scarlet Sun? I think I can convince Feral/Tanrov to run it so Brute has one less thing on his plate. It's 4-6 so it'll help Erin.

I have not played that.

Before we get too far past the end of the session, please roll your Dayjob checks!

And, yes, I will be stepping down from running for you guys for a while here. Though it has been a blast!

I don’t have a character for Dawn of the Scarlet Sun at the moment. But that’s ok. I will lurk about what ever you guys do decide to do. I know Feral wants back in.

I would be up for playing in a future Scenario if you decide to go lower level. Also, I will have a mid level Alchemist after I power-level him by running Thornkeep for my home group. :)

Day Job: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 28

I haven't played it. I'm totally down to play it! Thanks for everything Brute. If you run something, and I can, I'll play.

Something I learned while filling out Chronicles.

The way the scenario describes things I got the impression that if one person influenced a guest, then all players get credit for that. Apparently the goal of the scenario is supposed to be that each character influences 3 guests, with joint efforts giving credit to all players involved. It’s a little confusing.

Anyway, I need to record which guests each of you gained influence over during the session. Looking back, I have at least 3 for Amira and Bishop, but I need more for the rest of you. Let me know if I missed something in my scanning of the thread. So, I have listed what I have so far, please let me know which other guests you want to have influence with to get you up to three. I’m told that having influence with guests may not always be a positive thing.

Adamus: Hamaria, Rubanni, +1
Erin: Hamaria, +2
Rosham: +3
Yandu: Alexandar, +2

Day Job 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22

Rubanni and the Blakros Curator whose name is escaping me atm.

Remind me of all the options again?

Nigel, Alexander, Hamaria, Tancred, Jeon, and Rubanni.

Nigel it is then.

No day job. Work is for peasants. :-)

I've played Scarlet Sun, so I'm out of that one. However, if y'all would be willing to have me play again, I'm up for it!

The way the scenario describes things I got the impression that if one person influenced a guest, then all players get credit for that. Apparently the goal of the scenario is supposed to be that each character influences 3 guests, with joint efforts giving credit to all players involved. It’s a little confusing.

To my knowledge, the way this goes is as follows: The Society wants 3 people to think fondly of the Society. The Decemvirate cares not who does it, but as long as the party as a whole influence at least 3 people, they're happy. As long as between us as a party influence 3 people, we get the XP and Prestige for finishing the primary mission.

The examples for this scenario will be our's;

Amira, that is how I read the scenario success conditions as well. However, this post clarifies the issue.

And yes, each PC should have gained enough influence with 3 different NPCs by the scenario's conclusion to surpass those NPCs' respective Successes Needed threshold. A PC who has a bunch of Influence Points spread out over several NPCs but hasn't reached the target number with any of them does not earn a Prestige Point for the primary mission.

I will send out Chronicles tomorrow, then we are all good here. Rosham and Yandu, I need to know who you want influence with by then or I will just pick for you.

Nigel, Tancred, and Hamaria for Rosham please.

Well on second thought I'm going to run something and I'll let Feral play since he's been left out of the last 2 games. So what 3-7s and 5-9s can people play?

Well on second thought I'm going to run something and I'll let Feral play since he's been left out of the last 2 games. So what 3-7s and 5-9s can people play?

My situation breaks down as such: "If it's Seasons 0-2, I've probably played it. If it's Season 3, I might be able to play it (better chances on higher-tier stuff). If it's Season 4, I've probably already ran it but not played in it, really early S4 stuff excluded (thanks to convention play)." Most (more like ALL) my Season 4 high level credit has gone to Amira, though.

I'm pretty much with Amira. I really ought to retire Bishop, otherwise he'll be too high to play with half of my GenCon team (as is he's pushing it.)

I'm more than happy to play my Bard 4 or Cleric 3. The pickings are slim, but My Enemy's Enemy is a 3-7 I can play.

I have ran a lot more than I have played. So with the exception of only a few mods, most of season 3 and 4 are open to me. I'm good with whatever is available to the people that have played almost everything.

I've played all the Season 4 3-7s. Of the Season 4 5-9s, I have not played Fortress of the Nail or Fabric of Reality.

FWIW, I do still have open stuff from Season 3, though:

• Echoes of the Overwatched (1-5)
  
• Defenders of Nesting Swallow (GMd, 1-5)
  
• Icebound Outpost (1-5)
  
• Immortal Conundrum (5-9)
  
• Dog Pharaoh's Tomb (5-9)
  
• Snakes in the Fold (5-9)
  
• Haunting of Hinojai (5-9)
  
• Golden Serpent (5-9)
  

Does Golden Serpent work for everyone?

It works for me.

I've both played and DMed it. Don't let me stop you though.

Works for me.

Chronicles have been sent.

In other news, does anyone have a Nagaji Race Boon just sitting around that they would be willing to send my way? I have this concept for a Nagaji Brawler of Cheliax that I am looking forward to playing.

Okay, Gameplay Thread!
