Discussion starts here. As mentioned in both recruitment and game play thread....will need to update all character's inventories.

Woot! I bought a wand of CLW, my brothers from other mothers.

Also, I'll be using one of my GM stars to get a replay credit on this.

Alright, so Torvald is going to make himself some Alchemist's Fire (maybe useful for passing out to the others so we can bombard ice-themed monsters), but also try to craft some "Fireward Gel" so that allies can be in melee but getting Resist 5 against his bomb's splash damage.

What sources are legal for crafting alchemical items? Interested in crafting some "tar bombs" from Pirates of the Inner Sea but guessing that's probably not a legal source.

Also, is there any reason that smokesticks can't be any color I want? Description says "thick, opaque" but no mention of color. Presumably I could create smokesticks in various colors for signaling?

Able to take a 10 on smokesticks, buoyant ballons, tar bombs, & alchemical cement
Craft (Alchemy, Fireward Gel): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27 Success!
Craft (Alchemist's Fire 1): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23 Success!
Craft (Alchemist's Fire 2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11 Fail :(
Craft (Alchemist's Fire 3): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27 Success!
Craft (Alchemist's Fire 4): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14 Fail :(
Craft (Alchemist's Fire 5): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21 Success!

I'll draw up a complete list of items purchased + gp/weight once I know whether certain items are off-limits or not.

GM has started thread: expect actual game play to begin once I've loaded all characters updated equipment into Herolab. I believe Jamir has already sent me a file. For those of you not using herolab, I will need an updated inventory sheet emailed to me or, a list of what you bought and it's cost on the discussion thread. Hopefully we'll get into actual game play by Thursday or Friday...excited!

Thanks. The HL portfolio I sent should have all the new gear Jamir purchased, as well as the revised trait and skill point allocation.

Spent my 2PP on wand of protection from evil.

Lucklesshero - when you have a moment, please mark the last game as inactive so it drops to the bottom of the screen on our campaign tabs.

Greetings all! I just realized that I still need to update my statblock. I will do so tonight.

I bought a couple of alchemist's fire myself and got a wand of endure elements.

From Additional Resources 2017-01-27 update, Pirates of the Inner Sea legal items are: "Archetypes: all Equipment: all equipment, items, and weapons on pages 18–20; Prestige Class: Inner Sea Pirate; Spells: all spells on pages 28–29; Traits: all traits on pages 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, and 27."

Jamir can you resend your updated Hero lab folder? I miss placed it. Craggark got yours (Herolab folder) so nothing else needed from you. Torvald and Jawhar, since you don't use Herolab I'll need a list of what u bought how much ect.. or a jpeg/pdf of a revised inventory tracking sheet.

Just sent it again by email, along with the inventory tracking sheets (everything is already added to the HL portfolio). Let me know if you don't receive it.

I use HeroLab and have sent you my portfolio about a week ago.

Are you using a different email address? We seem to have something of a disconnect.

I will attempt to send it again tonight. Perhaps check your junk e-mail?

Are we cool on the smokestick colors?

I love that idea.

OK guys I got every ones update except Torvald's, When sorry for those of you who had to send it twice. I cleaned out about 2 and a half year's worth of emails out of the account you guys sent those profiles to the other day and may have trashed them. It took me 3 hrs but now I've got all my emails sorted into proper folders ..

One last question and I don't doubt that it's legal; cause most of you have been playing PFS for a while now...could one of you direct me to where you can purchase wands for prestige points?

Pathfinder Society Guild Guide 8.0 p.21

Free purchase up to 750 gp 2 PP

Thx Jeremy..

Look for the introductory paragraph for "written in blood" later today!

I took on some more Diplomatic skills (i.e. reworked my traits and shifted a skill point). I'm assuming that Craggark touched base with his mother, who reminded him of his skill with diplomatic intents. I purchased some alchemist's fire, as well as a nicer weapon to augment my fisticuffs. All set for the return of Craggark!

One last change of racial traits as well. I'll send you the updated HeroLab file, GM.

Great! I shifted a skill point into Bluff. Jamir is ready to spin more... tall tales.

I still need to update Jamir's profile page, but I don't think there is anything on the summary line that appears with forum posts that has changed.

Currently memorized spells:
Bless, Firebelly, Shield of Faith

Extracts: Shield, Cure Light Wounds
Constitution mutagen.

Two last minute gear changes that probably are not reflected on the HL profile or tracking sheet I sent you:
1. Jamir packed his snowshoes on the donkey, and has his whetstone in his masterwork backpack.
2. Jamir bought a winter blanket (0.5gp, size medium) for the donkey (which the donkey is also carrying). Let's say Jamir bought that from the quartermaster on the Grinning Pixie.

Edit - I also forgot to give you a day job check:

Profession (sailor): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

I'm likely to be jammed most of the day, and may not be able to check back in until this evening. Glad to be getting started!

WE HAVE A DONKEY NOW?!

WE HAVE A DONKEY NOW?!

YES! I call it "Nag of Holding."

Dex-based, small-sized fighters need to deal with encumbrance any way they can.

I looked for cold-weather gear for animals but couldn't figure out how to make it work, so unless there is an option I missed, I figured on just tying the blanket around it. Donkeys get a +4 on Fort saves vs cold weather from Endurance anyway.

Jawhar drops the mic, walks out of the cabin and puts on a pair of sunglasses as the unnamed man bursts into flames in the doorway behind him.

This made me spit out my coffee.

FYI probably just a short post tomorrow Sat April 1 (wife's B-day...I know, I know... joke's on me!) and most likely only a short follow-up on Sunday, to respond to anything you guys post tomorrow. We'll dive into this adventure full steam, come Monday..

It appears that Firebelly is only legal for followers of Torag, so I will replace it with Obscuring Mist.

sorry guys no post yesterday. I actually did write a fairly lengthy post about your arrival in Trollheim but, hit the back button accidentally and lost it all. Very aggravating anyway rest of the day was taken up with family activities. Sorry again.

No worries - I spent five hours running my home Rise of the Runelords party through the start of

I GM'd my live Skull & Shackles game, so I had my fix as well. Family's important!

Yes as I've mentioned before, I'm running a "Giant Slayer" campaign as well. We just started book 3 as well (3 sessions into book 3). Torvald how far are you into Skull & Shackles? Craggark...Jawhar...you guys playing/Gming' any adventure paths or modules right now?

Nope. Sadly. Nothing IRL. Just started a PbP game on here though!

Just started the second book two sessions ago, letting them sandbox it up until level 6 (they're almost to level 5) before I pull them in with some sahuagin attacks.

We mostly game in English, but one of our players is Russian and sometimes she needs us to re-explain in German, so we don't always make as much progress as I'd like but they're a good bunch.

Playing Shattered Star. In book 2, I think, getting near the end of Lady's Lighthouse.

I also just started Reign of Winter. I'll be playing that one tonight.

Enjoy RoW! That's my other home campaign - it's what my wife & kids & I play when our 4th player for ROTRL (neighbor kid) isn't available. We just started book 2.

So I assumed fatigued meant "tired" not "loaded" - Craggark went the other way. GM, feel free to retcon my bluff check if I got that wrong.

I rolled a 1! I'm hammered! (And sickened)

Aha! Missed that!

you guys do realize if hero points were allowed in PFS you'd all have a bunch! Just can't get over how good the roll-play has been in these two scenarios so far!

Sheesh Jamir, you're gonna give me an inferiority complex about my rollplaying...

I meant all of you the whole group!!!

I'm just trying to keep up.

Sorry for the long posts - I kept failing miserably at the Diplomacy checks, and I figured that if I were at a live table, I'd just try again, so that's what I did. Again and again and again...

Look at Jawhar, killing it as well!

Please don't apologise for long posts - this is a balm to my role-playing starved soul.

And my previous comment - "I'm just trying to keep up" would be rightly finished with the clause "with the RPG brilliance in my table-mates"

Agree I'd feel privileged to have anyone of you at my table. As it is I already consider myself lucky to have you guys in a PbP game

I'm feeling lucky to be here!
