Feel free to discuss or post any questions. Please fill out the first slide so that I can get your chronicle sheets filled out easily as we go along.
Just as a reminder, the 3rd part of the series is tier 3-7, so your character needs to start part 1 with at least 4 XP if you want to play with it throughout.
At the moment, it looks like we will be playing Tier 4-5 with the 4-player adjustment for Part 1.
Feel free to introduce your character or coordinate spell preparation and purchases. You know in advance that the adventure begins in Sothis, and will take you into the desert, so prepare accordingly.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like our APL is 2.3 (2+3+2+2+2+3 => 14/6), which would round down to 2 and put us in low tier. I'm not opposed to getting more gold and better rewards, but I'd also rather not lose this character - and we don't have any characters on the spreadsheet higher than lvl 3. Thoughts from everyone else?

Whoops, you are correct! I was looking at the wrong column on my sub-tier spreadsheet. We will be low sub-tier.

Thanks for GMing!! ;-)
I am looking forward to this! I might have to change the character if it looks like the character is not ready at Oct 1.

I think it's ok if we are a little flexible on start day. I'm on a similar boat, and hope to be done, but if it's a matter of a few days I hope folks don't mind waiting.
| GM MattMorris |
I'm certainly flexible. It's going to take us a while to get through the series, so I don't think waiting a few days so that you can play the character you prefer is a big deal in the grand scheme of things.
Toral Kargar

GM, did you register this game as a Gameday game? We would qualify for the first or even second part. ;-)
Thanks
Sunlight Under Stone

(As long as we finish before Nov. 12, right?)
Toral Kargar

The end date is almost irrelevant as games run longer.
The GM just has to report the game mid November and if somebody dies or something changes he informs the organisation and they correct the reporting.

Really? That's a relief to hear - I've been worried about getting a game I'm GMing done by the deadline.
Toral Kargar
|
That was the case in former conventions and is even more true with the outages.
| GM MattMorris |
I'll check in with this and let you folks know. I hadn't thought about that! I think we can definitely get the first part done before the convention is over.
Toral Kargar
|
Great! ;-)
Calvert Calvinson
|
My other game is all but done, so should definitely be ready for an Oct 1st start. I've info in on the game slides.
| GM MattMorris |
I checked in with the VL, and I was able to register the first part of this series as a Gameday game. So, there will be boon roles!
Vaylin and Calvert are ready for Oct. 1. How is everyone else doing?
Toral Kargar
|
I would hopefully be ready Oct 6! :-(
Menarul
|
Menarul isn't free, but he should be very soon! Cause that game neeeeds to end!
| GM MattMorris |
Okay, just so you folks don't think I'm forgetting you:
We are holding until everyone is ready. Hopefully, this will be before the end of this week. Please check in as soon as your character is free. I will have everything prepared so that we can jump right in. If you would like to read the briefing, it is posted in the slide show.
Toral Kargar
|
Perfect!
Menarul
|
If the game I'm in hasn't finished by the weekend, I'll ask one of our lovely venture staff if Menarul can at least start this campaign (the other game is actually a pregen and has been going since early May. Three or four days should be permissible)
Menarul
|
Okay the game has finished the last fight I believe! We've headed back to the city, and the GM's working on chronicles.
Toral Kargar
|
Can we start next Monday?
Robyyn
|
Robyyn is still tied up in his Gameday Session 1 game. I just posted in discussion over there to see if we can pick up the pace. We're at the very end; just need to complete the last obstacle.
Calvert Calvinson
|
Sorry, my tardiness in that game isn't helping, Robyyn.
| GM MattMorris |
I'm fine with starting on Monday as long as everyone is ready.
Even if you are still wrapping up, Robyyn, I'll start questions for the Venture Captain on Monday and we can get into the action as soon as you are ready.
Calvert Calvinson
|
As a fellow player in that previous game, I know Robyyn is now clear.
Robyyn
|
In just a couple of hours, I'm heading out of town for my cousin's wedding. I'll be mostly out of touch until Sunday PM. When I'm able to get on, I'll have more of an opportunity to read and less to post due to the type of device I'll have with me, so feel free to bot me if I'm causing a delay.
Menarul
|
Argh, I forgot to say something here but Menarul is free and ready to go!
Toral Kargar
|
Toral is free now! ;-)
Just need to level him up.
| GM MattMorris |
Alright, folks, we are rolling! Please fill in your Perception and Initiative modifiers on the Slides if you have not already done so.
Toral Kargar
|
Great. I still need to level Toral to 3 but can only update his profile on Thursday.
I just updated the tag line now.
Toral Kargar
|
I also updated the slides.
Calvert Calvinson
|
Sorry, crazy two days at work, I'll purchase rope, climbing gear, and rations but won't have time to be specific until tomorrow, so please don't let me hold up moving forward.
Sunlight Under Stone

Toral Kargar
|
What is the city of the sands? ;-)
Sunlight Under Stone
|
But yes, we don't know anything about said city. Hence the spoilers.
Menarul
|
Menarul is ready, but I have just one question, will the two minutes from his enlarge person have run out by the start of combat or will he still be enlarged?
Sunlight Under Stone
|
In a similar vein, does anyone have some long-lasting buffs they'd like to apply to themselves/the group before we enter initiative?
| GM MattMorris |
Menarul is ready, but I have just one question, will the two minutes from his enlarge person have run out by the start of combat or will he still be enlarged?
I think everyone could manage to buff and recover before 2 minutes was up. (As a big fan of investigators, I think there's nothing worse than forced down-time between encounters--especially when you have so few buffs per day.)
That said, it's a little tight in the next room, so mind your squeezing.
Sunlight Under Stone
|
Is this next encounter in the curved passage that has been described, or in the room past it?

In the curved room.
Sunlight Under Stone
|
In that case, the doorway is also the best place for Sunlight Under Stone so they can shoot without cover penalties. Or perhaps just inside the doorway since Robyyn already called dibs.
| GM MattMorris |
Goodness, this is an odd sandman. Confusion instead of sleep, and a save-every-round aura? Very odd indeed.
Yep, they have been doing some unusual things that you might be able to figure out after the fight.
Also, to be clear, once you save vs the aura you are immune to it.

That is good to know!

This is a heads-up that I'm going to be traveling tomorrow through Monday (26-29 Oct) and will likely not be able to post while I'm away. Please bot me if I'm holding anything up.
I mean, as long as he keeps failing this save, he's a bot anyway, amirite?
