The Red Arm of Absalom - Ongoing Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master GM Red

The hangout is primarily a backup for when Paizo is wonky. We could never abandon our friends in discussion!

Still on vacation! Sunny, mid 70s and breezy. Pretty sweet weather!

It's a nasty 30+ here today and humid, I'm staying close to my air conditioned office and home!

Such a baby! Get out there and enjoy the heat!

Don't forget to make Gallix take the reroll owed to him from Lucky Number! That's the whole point of Lucky Number!

Hmm

Any takers for joining a game I've been running for a while that just lost 2 players? It is PFS sanctioned and I will give a chronicle sheet at the end of each chapter to apply as you wish to a character in the relevant subtier. We are playing in Campaign Mode. Chyro/Sir D is already in the game with his formerly institutionalized oracle, she's a lot of fun. PC level 6, max HP at every level.

The adventure is Down the Blighted Path, a module. It's quite combat heavy and involves duergar lore, the Darklands, and an evil necromancer. The party is currently made up of Chyro's oracle, a gunslinger (bolt ace), and fighter. We lost a bard and an alchemist. If there's any interest, let me know and I'll DM you more details. Speed will be slower than a typical Red Arm game.

I'd normally say yes, but I'm pretty packed full right now and it being Summer has my time stretched. I wish I could help you out!

Same for me unfortunately. I really haven't figured a good routine for posting yet with this new job, and we're gonna end up moving at the end of the month, so it's not gonna get better any time soon I'm afraid.

Also, how does doing a module like that work with PFS? Would a player have to have a level 6 character already in their roster, or can you create a new PC at level 6 and play them from there in other PFS scenarios?

No problem. I wanted to pass it by you guys before asking others.
The subtier for Chapter 2 is 5-7, and Chapter 3 6-8. You'd have to have a PC in PFS within that subtier to apply the chronicle to them, not unlike playing a higher leveled pregen and then applying that chronicle to a PC once they reach that level.

Level 6, huh... my only character is the magus and she's tied up for Gameday. Sounds like we won't be done by then.

I can play a level 7 pregen, though.
Err, do I have to use a PFS character? If not, I have an Eldritch Scion I've been dying to try out.

Sorry Red Uesugi is my highest character. Alright now back to posting.

Err, do I have to use a PFS character? If not, I have an Eldritch Scion I've been dying to try out.

Nope! Campaign mode means you can use anything at all, as long as it's Level 6. Here's the original recruitment thread where I posted the PC requirements. I'll get you up to speed on the story so far if you're good with everything else!

Sounds good to me. How much money do I get to start with?

Hey guys.

Do any of you have any lvl 3-4 PCs, willing to do Tome of Righteous Repose for gameday VI?

I believe at least Uesugi doesn't have tier 6-7 aliases, hence 3-4.

Link to recruitment.

It's an evergreen.

I'm already in a game with Luurg with Gallix but I gotta check which half that is. He's my only guy in that range.

I potentially signed up wiyh Gallix's game pending if Bishop's current game finishes before then so I dont think I'll have any other PFS characters to join with

One thing to watch for is that dungeons in PbP are tough. I advise that you have the group mark a set of five rooms that they plan to explore, so that the party keeps moving until they hit something. This will help the game progress at a decent pace.

Hmm

Oh that won't be a problem.

Currently, i've suggested, and they did, to mark their path of exploration with arrows.

Speeds up stuff easily.

Half the spots are filled.... just saying. :)

It won't be as deadly as what my current group has faced so far.
Cause seriously......nasty at higher tier.

I have a couple in that range (including everyone's favorite amorous dwarven cleric, Begrilda), but I'm stretched pretty thin with what I've got now, and I'm gonna be GMing that game Uesugi and Peppers mentioned, so I'll have to decline.

Thanks for the offer, D!

Is there any reason we can't plan on destroying all 5 rings? Or did I miss something that HMM is mentioning.

Also, attempting to disable the rings with skills requires you to be close to them, and risking activating the fear ring?

Also Also, I assume they are magical? How strong are their auras?

That is why I thought it best to destroy the ward circles from afar then destroy whatever circle next. The idea is to stay away from the radius if possible.

You can plan to destroy them all, but I'd prefer to do it in rounds. I'd tell you why, but that wouldn't be any fun... :)

Attempting to decipher the puzzle can activate the fear ring. Messing with the rings won't.

All of rings have moderate strength auras.

The Ward Circles are annoying, but not as annoying as Fear. Getting rid of Fear might be a good first option with our group.

If we could obliterate multiple circles, let's do it. We take out circles first, and then... We tackle the puzzle.

Hmm

I'm planning to use Frost Fall, an AoE that may hit multiple circles for many rounds.

Happy Monday team. Weather forecast calls for rain and mugginess, ugh!
Gallix, go punch the ring!

Rain? THUNDERSTORMS!

Gallix, go punch the ring!

But...the fear...it is the bane of my existence!

Seriously, fear effects are almost as bad for Gallix in this scenario as poisons were in Gallows of Madness. -__-

We had rain too. It's universal!*

Hmm

^ Until we hear the weather report from Maine.

No rain for us unfortunately, just lots of sun and high temps. We could really use the rain too.

You live in Colorado. It is likely to snow this week for you :P

Lots of rain hit on Saturday, but yesterday and today are absolutely gorgeous in the Boston area.

Humid and warm in the morning, so so in the afternoon.

With a traffic jam as the icing. >_>

Is there anyone we're waiting upon?

Hmm

Peppy Long Ears

I now envision either a dark & moody with an absurd hair style and stockings, or a certain Pippy with black goth hair and a moody expression.

Thanks 'sugi.

lol no prob

I was in meetings, but I'm here now. The next post is big so I need a little time!

SLACKER!!!!!

Waitin' on me for what? The weather? Low 70s and partly cloudy, chance of showers. Wind 5-10mph outta the SW. Got a flat tire on my boat trailer today... lucky my boss came and changed it while we were out on the lake, as we forgot the spare in the other truck.

Tomorrow I'll likely be in the office most the day so I can keep up posting during the incoming thinger.

You have no idea how important those weather reports have become to us!

★ - OVERSEER ANNOUNCEMENT - ★

The Winners for the Cosmic Giveaway have been announced!

Congrats Sirettis!!

Due to a shift in the forecasts I'll be out of the office all day so a lack of posts from my direction.

Grats Sirettis as well!

PS, D don't forget you're hasted. Unless you can only make 1 attack per round.

Well done Sirettis!

Congrats chadius, you deserve it!

Now... Let's kick some stony construct ass!

Heck, i forgot about haste. I get another attack.

Thanks, everyone! That will make up for the scenarios I bought for game day.

It's a rainy day in Boston, and Sirettis is directly threatened by something that will clobber her silly. Let's go!

When i run in Boston on a rainy day, i often get shot at, chased, or facing big guys with fire hydrants.

Sweet Fallout 4.

Sirettis... Why did you buy scenarios for Gameday? Did I not get out the message about scenario support?

Hmm
