Ruins of Azlant (Inactive)

Game Master Nathan Goodrich

Aurelian thinks we should continue in the tunnel.

Being able to see an end to this tunnel would probably matter to Sarine, and Jenner would be able to see that far I think. Sarine also has a trait for low-light vision. Would the end of the water be visible with the light we have that way?

Not the end, since the tunnel bends, but you can see that the water level is lower that way.

I have a crazy busy weekend coming up and will be unable to get a post in. Should be back to normal posting Monday.

Thanks!

I think we're decided on going deeper in. Are we waiting on anything else?

No - sorry. I'm in the last week of term and real life can be a butt kicker! Update today I promise!

Are people interested in receiving PFS credit for this AP? I've just found the chronicles so I'm happy to do them if people would like! :)

No need for me, thanks. :)

Not really, but thanks for the offer!

I'd actually love that. I'll figure out which PFS character I'll apply it to and get that to you if you're going to be the one logging the sheets. Or I can report the game if you prefer.

I'm fine to do the logging. Just let me know where you want it.

So one vote to move on and one 'whatever'.

While you decide you can all LEVEL UP TO 5! (Still a level below where you should be for this bit of the AP...)

Did we blunder into the dragon's lair or something?

If we're going to register this with PFS at all, I might as well get credit. I'm not sure I'll ever make the character to go with it, but give me 37150-20.

You did yes - I thought the giant crab that could easily have killed three of you might have been a hint, but apparently not :P

If there are dragon's involved then Tettia really wants to go home. Or have a long conversation. I'm not sure which yet.

Edit...

Oh, and she can now communicate verbally with Wallace.

What do you mean, 'Wasn't she already doing that?' Pffttt.. Talking to a toad that can't talk back would be silly.

That crab maybe should have been a clue? But this felt like the most logical place to go based on what we've learned. Seems odd to turn around now, even knowing what we know.

Will level up ASAP.

I would love PFS credit, thanks! Credit to... 276820-11.

I don't have time to level up right now, but I should be able to get it done this weekend. Thanks!

No credit needed for me. Thanks.

Level 5 swashbuckler:
hp: 1d10 ⇒ 8 +8 hp from class, +2 Con (+10 total)
+1 BAB
+swashbuckler weapon training (+1 to hit, damage and Improved Crit with one-handed or light piercing melee weapons)
+1/4 panache (FCB) = +1 panache!
+1 feat: Defiant Luck
+6 skill ranks (4 class +1 human +1 Int): +1 to Acrobatics, Bluff, Intimidate, Sense Motive, Swim

Also, I don't seem to have noted that we're using background skills on my sheet. I'll doublecheck, but I don't think I've been doing that... I only see 24 ranks, which would be 6/level. So ... I guess I need to retcon in some skill ranks if that's OK. :)

--

Also, do we get a Hero Point if we weren't at our max 2? I feel like we might need them soon.

PFS credit to 30341-23, please!

I'm working on my level up right now and will post tonight, but Saturday and Sunday I will be scarce, we're having a local convention and I'm in charge of herding all the PFS cats.

Warpriest +1
FCB = + 1/2 blessings for weapon/armor only
HP + 7 (and +5 more for taking Toughness as a feat)
Fervor increased to 2d6
+1 level one spell
+1 level two spell (I assume we're not getting the new spells until after we rest)
(will usually prep Prot from Evil and Align Weapon in these slots)

Skills
Perception, Sense motive, Kn Religion

Background skills: +1 Merchant, +1 Craft Armor

Feat: Toughness

I still would like to take Craft Magic Arms and Armor at some point, but right now Toughness seems like the better call...

Credit: noted. It will get done but I have no printing right now so I'll have to learn how to edit PDF's or something similar before I can do much about it.

Tower: heading up the mountain I tried to point out all the places you could go (you went past a few doing the skum quest too). But you kept wanting to go higher up the mountain, despite being able to see the whole island... *shrug*

PDFescape.com is what I use to edit pdfs/give digital chronicle sheets.

I'm busy this weekend but I'll try to find a time to update Sarine & respond.

Yeah, I think the quests felt like things we could do after this mission. Now that we know what we know, do we want to try to find a reason to retreat? The crab and trap probably *should* have let us know we were in over our heads. :) I'm just not sure what the in-character reasons would be.

Level 5 swashbuckler:
hp: 1d10 ⇒ 7 +2 constitution = +9 hp
+improved uncanny dodge
Feat: Weapon Focus (Greatsword)
(+4 class +1 human +1 Favored Class Bonus): 6 skill ranks
Skill ranks: 1 Acrobatics, 1 Intimidate, 1 Perception, 1 Survival, 2 Swim
Background skill ranks: 1 Knowledge (History), 1 Perform (Oratory)
L1 Spell Known: Touch of the Sea

Last note regarding the "We got here too early" discussion going on. It's weird for them the scenario to say "Hey, some of your people need rescuing" and then to expect you to wander off and get distracted by side quests.

I think the intention is to remind you of the ongoing 'everyone disappeared and we still don't know why' mystery. In retrospect I should have just pushed you gently along the coast one way or the other!

Ahh well - if you survive this then you'll deserve the next level in quick succession!

*gulp*

And if we get a TPK, this is actually a fairly easy one to restart (especially compared with some other APs): Handful of new colonists emerge to look for the latest missing group.

You're not making Tettia feel any better. ;(

Spiritualist Level 5!

HP: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 New HP: 37

Skills (background): Knowledge (History) +1, Linguistics +1
Skills: Acrobatics +1, Climb +1, Knowledge (Nature) +1, Knowledge (Religion) +1, Swim +2

Drowned Powers - 1/day she can cast hydraulic push as a spell-like ability

+1 1st level spell per day
+1 2nd level spell per day
+1 2nd level spell known (slipstream)

Feat - Aquatic Spell

HP: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 New HP: 29

+1 BAB
+1 fort, +1 will
Skills: +1 intimidate and stealth (automatic), +2 Swim
+1 AC (natural AC in ectoplasmic, or deflection in incorporeal)
+1 Str, +1 Dex, +1 Cha
Slam damage becomes 1d8

Question: "Damage Reduction: A phantom manifested in ectoplasmic form has DR 5/slashing. When the spiritualist reaches 5th level, the phantom gains DR 5/magic. At 10th level, the damage resistance increases to 10/magic. At 15th level, it increases to 15/magic, and at 20th level, the damage reduction becomes DR 15/—."

So does that mean he has DR 5/magic and slashing, DR 5/magic or slashing, or DR 5/magic and he no longer has DR 5/slashing? Not quite sure.

@Ashlyn: no languages yet. The most common ones in Azlant were Azlanti, Cyclops, Elven and elemental languages so one of those would make the most sense.

The ring is still CL3 until you receive another triumph at which point its CL will increase. Go out and be heroic!

DR 5/magic and slashing right now. DR types stack the negations usually. :)

Tettia loves languages. She'd love to teach Ashlyn any that she knows.

Since Cyclops was common in Azlant I'll pick that up from Elizar's memories first. But after Cyclops and Elven Ashlyn will happily ask Teddy to be my linguistics tutor! Haha.

Level 5 swashbuckler:

[dice=hp]1d10 +2 constitution = +9 hp
+improved uncanny dodge
Feat: Weapon Focus (Greatsword)
(+4 class +1 human +1 Favored Class Bonus): 6 skill ranks
Skill ranks: 1 Acrobatics, 1 Intimidate, 1 Perception, 1 Survival, 2 Swim
Background skill ranks: 1 Knowledge (History), 1 Perform (Oratory)
L1 Spell Known: Touch of the Sea

Sigh...that's what I get for using Aurelian's post as a template....

For the record, Sarine is a level 5 Bloodrager.

I'll be at a PFS convention through until Sunday, so I might not find time to post through then.

Have fun. :)

I'm off to NYC, so also probably not posting until Sunday.

You have my sympathies. ;)

Oh, good. I'm having a busy weekend. Probably not posting until Monday. Haha.

Wwll that makes things easier. I promise ill get a post up for your return!

Had some scary scrapes (and a super obnoxious scenario) yesterday. We hung in there, though!

OK, changes:

I'm going to split my background skills between Perform (dance), Know (nobility) and Sleight of Hand.

I've got 10 background skill ranks to make up, so we'll do 3 in each of those, with one more in Perform (dance). (Note I already had 1 in Know [nobility] so that's at 4 ranks.)

--

Also, did you see my question about the hero point, GM?

Oh sorry. You get +1 HP every level, up to a maximum of two unspent (3 if you have the 'Heroic' human ability - which I'll allow retroactively since we weren't using Hero Points at the start).

Thanks. That's fine. I was just down one and wanted to make sure I got to get it back to full.

Attending a PowWow today. I don't have time to post, but I will have a chance tomorrow.

Thanks!

FYI both my kids are sick .Not sure if I'll be able to get a post in tomorrow.

Two at once. Yuck. :(

Sorry, both my kids are still sick, husband's sick, and I'm sick now. Not a good week. I'll post when I can. Feel free to bot me if needed.

Thanks.

At the moment, at least, you are caught up! Take care of everyone and yourself!
