Alright everybody, you know the drill!

Things I should Know about ahead of time: AKA things like trap sense, weird automatic abilities, oddball saves I should be aware of, ect.

Go ahead and ninja dot in the gameplay thread to keep track of things.

Player: Bristor
Character: Etienne Elodien
PFS #: 57774-12
Faction: Grand Lodge
Day Job: Profession fortune-teller day job: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
Slow Track or Normal: Normal

Things GM should Know about ahead of time: Archetype is the one that I throw cards charged with arcane power and can deliver touch spells with them. No familiar, my harrow deck serves as repository of my spells.

@GM, does it matter which character I bring? Looks like either way I'll be a solo representative from my faction, is that correct?

In which case, it may depend on whether the party needs more of a skill-monkey/social character or a strong melee character. Thoughts?

Day Job (Perform (Oratory)): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

The only unusual thing about Li is that his bow does non-lethal damage. It requires the GM to track that damage separately. Sorry!

Li has vows of Cleanliness and Truthfulness.

Seems like lots of ranged and casters, so a brawler might be very handy, imho.

@Zin Z'Arin, totally fine, we have enough grand lodge folks here that it won't mess with things.

This is the character I will be using for Phoebee, the magus

Sorry, I had to come back from work to get this gone. This is the first time I have played a higher level magus so any help would be appreciated.

Do I play the 4th or 7th level version?

The 4th level version.

ok

Hi Folks, I just got in from the waitlist! Since I see we have some grand lodge players, I'll bring my hunter, Nat, with her loyal pet pig Squealy Nord (rescued from a goblin tribe in his piglethood). I'll update the profile shortly.

Player: Andrew Glasgow
Character: Nátulcien Ar Feiniel
PFS # 42641-14
Faction: Grand Lodge
Day Job: Survival (using Hunting Lodge): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
Slow Track or Normal: Normal

I like Squeuly Nord. How do you get him as an animal companion?

I applied the we be goblins modules' chronicles to this character.

Nice! I like Squealy Nord. I remember the first time I was DMing for Pathfinder and we were doing Jade Regent, I laughed and laughed at his name.

Does Phoebee being in the Liberty's Edge Faction mean that the magus is also in that faction?

Hooray, one more week of school. We will be done next Wed.

This is an early warning that I'll be away for Memorial Day weekend. I start traveling early Thursday AM and won't return until Monday PM. I will make sure that I have an updated "Bot Me" spoiler in my profile before I leave for the vacation, and I'll post again here Wed PM as a reminder.

Had an almost 2 hour meeting yesterday after school. Came home with a headache. Catching up today.

Letting you guys know I'm heading out to a convention in a day or so (Colossalcon WOOT!) so my posting will be pretty much non-existent until I get back. Thanks for your patience. :)

When do you expect to be back?

I'll be back Monday, but I'll post whenever possible anyways cause I'm a nerd going to a nerd con, but it all depends on what I'm up to and how much alcohol has been ingested.

Hi team; got back later than expected yesterday and off to a slower start than planned for today. I will try to catch up on as many games tonight as I can, but won't truly be back to regular posting until Wed. Thanks for your patience!

This is the most hilarious rescue ever.

We are a hot mess.

Have we stalled?

Seems that way. I’m traveling this weekend but eager to continue.

Yeah, it's a bit odd... I have played several scenarios under this GM and a couple more with him as a player and he's always been prompt with his posting...his previous GM sessions have went by quickly...hope he's OK...

Sorry, i got knocked out with a ear infection that left me practically debilitated (I am no lightweight and this is one of the most painful things i've ever dealt with), AND to top it off i'm Gming at Origins this year... combine the two, and the fact than I'm more stubborn than is good for me, and I lost track of this game. I apologize for that, we'll get back on track.

I hope you feel better soon.

This should be the last encounter though shouldn't it?

I believe we still have an entire new faction mission to complete.

GM Starson - hope you feel better soon and no worries.

Is Guaril under water or near the surface? Do wands of cure light wounds work under water? Grynt has one ...

Guaril is under water, but just 5 feet down. Cure light wounds wands work under water.

Nat has a cure moderate wounds wand. That's more likely to make him conscious. If you delay until my turn we can maybe heal him and bring him above the surface of the water so he can get a breath.

I was thinking I'll try to attack the tentacle holding him while grabbing him and trying to pull him to the surface...if I'm successful, he might be above the water on your turn and you can hit him with your wand...

That could work too. If he's conscious he might be able to help you with that though. Whatever you want to try.

We're waiting on Devilfish A, correct? Just wanted to make sure I wasn't holding things up...

Sorry, my fault. :) Posting now.

I was at an all day training yesterday and the day before I got an email telling me I was moving classrooms this year. Guess what I did today?

So no one is even going to try and save him?

We're getting there! Brady's post made it clear that you're his next stop. We've got people dying left and right here; there's a line.

I am SO sorry guys... Seriously, if we where in a real life game, i'd be letting you inspect the dice. This is insane...

OK, so I'm assuming Nat does not still have access to the rope she was hanging on earlier, unless you rule otherwise. I don't know if there are any bonuses associated with having a rope to hang onto.

The boons Nat has access to that could be relevant here are as follows:

Season 7 Faction Journal Goal: Once per adventure when attempting an Acrobatics, Climb, Survival, or Swim check, you gain a circumstance bonus equal to 1 plus 1/2 number of goals completed (4 goals, so a bonus of +3).

Pathfinder Module: We B4 Goblins!

• Happy Beat badge (2 uses available): When you are hit by an attack, you can check one of this badge's boxes to gain DR 5/- against that attack.
  
• Kettlehelm of Glory: as an immediate action, gain the benefits of light fortification armor enhancement against a single attack. If this fails to prevent a critical hit or sneak attack the helm's power is not expended and can be used again.
  
• Handful of Wedding Cake: Eat this as a full-round action to gain the benefits of haste for 1d4+2 rounds, after which you are fatigued for 1 minute.
  

Pathfinder Roleplaying Guild: Free RPG day 2016

• Commemorative Toad: Can be used in one of three ways resulting in the death of the toad.
  
• If you would fail a saving throw or skill check, you can sacrifice the toad to re-roll the die and take the second result.
  
• If you would be subject to a critical hit, you can sacrifice the toad to gain a +5 bonus to your AC against the confirmation of the critical hit; if this would be enough to turn the confirmation into a miss, the critical hit becomes a normal hit.
  
• If you would die to hit point loss, you can sacrifice the toad to not die until your negative hit point total is equal to or greater than double your Con score, and you automatically succeed at Con checks to stabilize for 1 minute.
  

Forgot one that I couldn't use last turn, but I might be able to next turn.

Pathfinder Module: We Be Goblins Too!

• You Really Be Goblin: As a free action, gain the benefit of one of these traits for 1 round.
  
• Advantageous Distraction: As a swift action, gain a +2 dodge bonus to AC.
  

I am SO sorry guys... Seriously, if we where in a real life game, i'd be letting you inspect the dice. This is insane...

And in an online game, we can inspect the dice. I think you're doing great. You've been using reasonable strategies, and the dice just are falling against us in the worst possible way, almost every time.

Dont risk dying for a PreGen.

Well, actually, if the pregen dies, the PC you linked to the pregen for this game (so, Phoebee) also dies. It's just as critical for you as if you were playing with your own PC.
