CORE CAMPAIGN (Inactive)

Game Master JASON RODARTE

I always thought you had to encounter a NPC in the encounter that had the spell you wanted to copy and the NPC has to be willing to allow the PCs to copy. Is that not true?

Well, if you find a spellbook (for instance on a slain enemy), you can scribe from it. A PC in your party can also allow you to scribe from them. Also a friendly NPC might allow you to scribe for free.

But you can always go to the Grand Lodge and find someone there to scribe from for a +50% fee.

I will be changing her SOP next encounter:

Cloudia will maintain a light spell on her spear head when in dim areas though she will not wield it. Instead it sticks up high over her shoulder. She will travel with her wand of MM in one hand and her scroll of bless in the other hand.

I assume you’ve recast mage armor on yourself and mao.

Yes, I'll deduct the charges. This has been an expensive scenario. I've used 360 gp of wand charges so far plus the restorations. I think she may loose money on this one.

Grand Lodge library? Never heard of using that. How does it work?

FAQ

Inbteresting.

I haven't found too many enemy wizards and their spellbooks in and PFS Scenario.

At this point, if the things are easy enough to hit, Cloudia will be using acid splash instead of magic missile or an acid flask if there is a decent chance at hitting, or even her spear. This is getting too dang expensive.

Do you have access to the bless spell yet or is that next level?

Cloudia has cast bless from scroll as her surprise action, so yes, it is running.

Your wand of magic missile will lose most of its usability around level 5, so if its empty by then it should be ok. Also scenarios where resources are so limited (so many encounters on a single day) are scarse.

Cloudia's MM wand was down to 23 charges BEFORE this scenario. I used up 8 already this scenario. The math is not good and I will end up having to purchase another one long before level 5 at this rate.

How many more parts are there to this scenario?

Here I was hoping that minotaurs were giant typed creatures and the are not. :(

Ok, that last post took a lot longer to edit than I anticipated, due to my daughter desperately needing a hug, so it's proably changed since you last read it! (As I see 2 more posts since...)

How many more parts are there to this scenario?

About 3 parts, but those are less resource demanding on the lower tiers.

Officially the temp HP boon says beginning of combat, but if you want you can use it now. :-)

He is almost out of spells.

You still got your wand of magic missile, which deals almost the same amout of damage as the burning hands wand (as it will pronably make it’s save)

lol.

A tactical retreat might also work. You've already done your share for the city and they have no need for martyrs.

Flying does give him an advantage though.

It's not Lukian I'm worried about. It's Aurus who seems desperate to constantly agitate the minotaur, even though Mao has better AC and a had better miss chance.

I know. I really wish he had not rushed off like that and Cloudia could have fed him that displacement potion. Or played dead for a round so that she could have done so while it was distracted.

All we can do is what we can do

Just a reminder that I am going to be having eye surgery on November 1.

Good luck!

When a player controls 2 locations, am I right in assuming she gets to pick one and only one of them to run during her initiative?

Nope, you get both actions, I've actually split the initiative in two, so you can delay one and do the other for instance.

Get well soon!

Thank you.

***Token #2***

Passing Aid Token to: Greenclaw
Current Boosts: Knowledge (Easy)

Ok, do you want to boost the aid token before passing it on?

Boosting Allied Offensive might be nice! :-)

Remind someone with limited search-fu time here at work how to boost Allied Offensive? :)

I dont have to be there until Noon so I will try to post :)

We were almost like Power Rangers there for a while :)

...Wait, which power ranger was the hotheaded one that kept almost dying due to rash decision making?

...Cuz I think that's Aurus.

...Man, I need to get that Dragon Disciple natural armor.

With a To Hit roll of at least 17, so Aurus would need to roll an 11.

Ok, great. So:

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Womp womp :(

Did you post your hit in the right forum?

Did you post your hit in the right forum?

Yes, he did. It was just him trying to boost the aid token, which doesn't really interact with our gameplay.

ok. :)

I am going to be getting off shortly to go get ready. Bot as necessary. I should be back sometime tomorrow.

BTW: When I played the Gulgamodh vs Atalazorn fight, Gulgamodh was defeated. Luckily the other tables had enough successes.

This was kinda of neat!

I actually played this in non-Core with my Chelaxian aasimar summoning wizard (he's... complicated.). We had a 7-person table, so there weren't enough Gulgamodh parts to go around, so while everyone else is driving this giant juggernaut, my wizard ran behind, summoning lantern archons into the fight.

Really really love this scenario - one of the most memorable ones I think I've ever played in PFS, and I've been around the block a time or two.

Did I ever tell you guys that I pitched this adventure to Tonya and John? :-). The reply I got from them was 1 word: 'Interesting'.

Tonya told me later she and John theorized I had hacked their email server because it fitted so perfectly in the storylines they had plotted out for season 9 and beyond.

It was just a very short 25 word idea and Mikko did an amazing job writing the scenario. How good a job he did became even more clearly while running this for you guys.

Are the bosses tougher in the higher tier parts?

I hate, just hate waiting rooms.

Me too!!!

And how doctors will schedule you way before they know the doctor will be available and even double book because they are playing the odds as far as cancellations go. Makes you feel like they treat your time as cheap.
