Well, some of its a bit intuitive, if you're pondering OOC a bit. There are only 5 prisms... 1 is three quarters full, 2 of them are half full, one is full, one is empty. That's 22 charges available out of the gate.
Given how they are recharged, many parties won't have a way to charge them. So have to work with them, as is. So that 22 would need to be enough for most, or at last close that a few negative levels might fill the gap.
Not to mention the prisms can be used in other ways too, which some might try (for instance on the allips).
Add some random elements from damage by the demons, skill checks, and drain for setting off the puzzle door, to make it interesting.
Besides, full charges gives for a nice light show! =)
According to the guide of what happens with the big demon and Ollysta and company... at one point she uses a spell, to save herself from dying, leaving her at 5 hp...
Next round, the demon full attacks her, and does 150 hp's of damage. =) That's a whole lotta negative!
Anyway, going to finish this off when I get some time to type up stuff. For now, I've reported it, and will be working on the chronicles.
You will each get 1XP, 2528 gp, and 1 PP (you needed to fulfill two requirements for the 2nd prestige, one of which is not letting Ollysta die... so you'll miss that one).
There will be yet another Commendation medal, as well as access to some demon-related spells not normally pfs legal.
You did succeed in Hard mode though... which gives you only bragging rights... unless you have the boon that lets you check a box when you do such things. (Can't remember the name of the boon, Moment of Glory? Maybe others?)
Let me know if you have faction card related questions.
Also, if anyone will be leveling up, let me know!
You're in the high tier of the next one (6-7) no matter what.
Potions? Umm...
cure moderate wounds
resist energy (fire)
shield of faith
Busy busy.
Training week at work.
Trying to get an update or two out today, to move things along!
lies!
Anyway, one down! (And I only had to retype part if it twice... stupid posting errors... /grumble)
His medals are his scars!
Alrighty, finished the chronicles... will be sending them along shortly.
Got confused trying to figure out who was scribing what from whom, and purchases and stuff... not to mention whether you already marked them on the prior sheet or this one, yada yada. (though I did notice Alessio mentioning he was going to scribe mirror image off of Kara... it only occurs to me now that that is not a valid alchemist spell!)
For now, just marked the PP purchases I was aware of... and Alessio's alembic use at the end. Will let you folks fill in the rest.
Probably should have put the destroyed items (1 for Alrik, 1 for Kara), so there was a record of where they happened... but forgot!
Anyway, compiling all the various rules I'm going to need for the mass combat stuff, and getting those ready for the next bit. So don't worry too much about the map link and what's popping on there for the next while.
I'm getting myself a little intimidated with the side rules... so am ignoring them, just going to put up what I have, and we can sort out the best way to present them, together!
Still not sure how this will play out in pbp... hopefully a lot of room for fun descriptive stuff, if that's your thing! (you probably already know its mine).
Anyway, 5-24 Assault on the Wound, tier 6-7 coming up next (and last)!
That's a no from me too. Floria has played none of the second set either (though I have played 5-03 and 5-19 with other characters)
Huh... so while pulling the various mass combat bits from scenario for the slides... I noticed that the description for what qualifies is different in the appendix, than it is in the main section. One says just that character... the other says any character.
I'll go with the friendlier version, and say your 5.03 and 5.19 will count!
Edit: and it turns out the Mendevian Cemmondation boons can come into play here too. Nice.
Well, added the appendix and player handout entries from the scenario.
Oi.
Already 12 slides worth of info. =)
Played this when it first came out, at PaizoCon, like 6 years ago. Barely remember any of it.

Purchased a Cloak of Resistance. Open to suggestions on how to spend an additional 1500gp.
Here are some of the things I try to remember to buy when I have the funds:
cracked magenta prism ioun stone for a +2 competence bonus to your favourite skill : 800GP
dusty rose ioun stone for +1 to initiative : 500GP
Scroll of restoration with the 100GP material component to get rid of temporary negative levels (assuming a friendly divine caster to cast on you): 800GP
scroll of lesser restoration : 150GP or 2PP for 5 on a single scroll
potion of remove blindness : 750GP or 2PP
oil of daylight: 750GP or 2PP
talisman of beneficial winds to get featherfall if you fall : 50GP

talisman of freedom in case of paralysis (though you have to remember you have it if you're grappled or entangled too) : 900GP
you can wear 3 talismans in the same neck slot too which is nice
Floria doesn't have the funds for all that, but she will buy:
scroll of restoration with 100GP material component : 800GP
talisman of courage : 450GP
scroll of fly : 375GP
potion of cure moderate wounds : 300GP
scroll of lesser restoration x2 : 300GP
Hey guys, haven't forgotten about this!
Weird times here in Seattle at the moment.
Then we had a suspected covid19 case in the building where I work... later confirmed... and it got weirder.
Will get something going tomorrow!
Or maybe later tonight, depending on how other stuff goes.
Make sure you review the mass combat rules, even if they seem a little confusing.
You will each be heading up an army here in a bit... everyone can choose from the first 6 (5 Kings, Mendevian, Pathfinder) ... and Sangkip has an additional option of the Mammoth riders, while Floria has the additional option of the Taldor Army of Exploration. (see slides 2 and 3, for the army options and their stats)
If you can decide, OOC here, which one you might want to head up, I can try to work it into the narrative as I go.
For now, will assume Sangkip on the pachyderms, and Floria heading up Taldor in her new custom-fitted uniform (though neither of you has to, if you want a base army). The rest, you can go any which way you want with the rest (duplicates are allowed between players, on the base armies)
Oh dear... the possibilities... =)
Finally getting off my ass!
I know some of your perceptions and/or initiatives have changed.
If so, can you let me know, so I can update my cut and paste bit. =)
Still another post to go, with basic intro to the scenario... but feel free to post in between if you want.
wait, your perception went down 4 points? I had it at 11 before!
That's not typical =) Well, unless its me being an idiot.. that's more than typical!
Jeeze, they don't make the hex grids for the mass combat portion easy to use. 8P
Assembling the first map piece by piece.
Gods, I think I afraid to start this, in case it all goes terribly wrong. =)
Anyway, I almost forgot this bit, should have done it sooner:
Everyone, except Sangkip and Floria, gets to select a Commander Boon that you give you your army (see slide 9)
Sangkip, gets the Bloodied but Unbroken one automatically.
Floria gets none (but has two bonuses from prior chronicles applied already)
The rest of you have to choose one of Defensive Tactics, Flexible Tactics, Loyalty, or Triage. This can not be changed, once chosen.
Am also pondering how to keep track of stuff, in a template or something for each turn.
