Should be able to post this evening! I've had a few setbacks but I should be ready to GM by the end of the first week of April!
Welcome to the team Rorx! I'll have a few questions to ask about your character but he's looking great!
I'm Turlin/Dr. Mavrin by the way ;)


Female Human Vigilante Brawler

Nice! I suppose, if you'd like, we can have a Crystalhue Day gathering that I can set up as my final GM Hatman post, allowing Rory and Addison (VV's social persona) to interact with Cashara and Dr. Mavrin—or just Cashara if Turlin wants to use the week to prep, then jump in as Slightly Peeved Camel and time-warp us to Ep.2.

By the way, WW, promote Cashara to Lv.6 anytime (even now) and add 5,000g to her purse.

Turlin, of course post as Lv.5, but at some point before your GM turn ends, promote to Lv.7 and add 15,000g. (The rest of us get 10K after we promote from Lv.6 to Lv.7.)

@Rorx, in case it's unclear, our characters have "salaries." It's an oversimplified means of making sure monetary gain is consistent with PF's recommended pace.

remind me the level up rules for this adventure?


Female Human Vigilante Brawler

You get the usual for Lv.6...

...with two exceptions:

#1. Your health is full HD at every level.
#2. At Lv.6, you get a non-combat bonus feat. That can be ANY feat not labeled "combat."

To avoid silly unbalanced 3rd party feats...
All feats & spells on this site are allowed.

Don't forget about Background Skills!

All this comes up in the Campaign Info tab under Rule #3.

(Note: I just updated Rule #6 to clarify all money is earned based on the $alary tab.)

ok
got started leveling up
will work more on it latter


Female Human Vigilante Brawler

No rush. I'll admit I spent my entire episode rethinking a few feats and talents m, and I even contemplated dropping the archetype—not because the Avenger fights better, but because the Magical Girl has so many spells that she's got every super-power. In the end, I stuck with Magical Girl because the familiar is too fun for me to give up, and I'll probably enjoy impersonating different real-world superheroines anyway!


Male half-orc

So you guys usually rebuild between episodes?

Thanks! Shoot questions at will ;)

Rorx has been updated - still completing spells and gear, but I've made a relevant addition to him - Healing Hex! (Was between Evil Eye and Healing, but I guess we can make more use of some Healing?)


Female Human Vigilante Brawler

Yes, we level between episodes, and collect our "salary." This way, the GM just focus on story without any concern for XP and gold. This allows you to plan items and upgrades, regardless of who GMs what episode.

GMs can still bring a bit of permanent flavor to the campaign, if a player chooses. Example: if Cashara takes Leadership at Lv.7, she could have a diminutive clockwork as a cohort (from my episode), or maybe she'll meet an interesting NPC in the upcoming episode that's more combat-worthy.

Also, a GM can introduce a new district in Rooftopolis. Snowberry Hills is full of rich snobs, and it snows during Crystalhue. The Red Lantern District is seedy, with every known vice available. Patchwork Island is whatever Turlin reveals it to be next week!


Female Human Vigilante Brawler

I also made some changes to be a better team player...

Lv.6: Sure-Footed / +3 Perception / +6 Sense Motive
(I might just go with +6 Perception instead.)

Lv.7: Not bothering with Fly. Rorx and Fashion Bug can fly together when spying from above is needed, and I'll have Overland Fight at Lv.13. (Slower, but the duration is 1 hour per level!)
Instead, I'll learn Urban Step, which is like how characters teleport in a Saturday Morning Cartoon—enter one door, and in an instant, exit another! It's good for stealth missions, and I believe I can exit through a door that I can see from a window. (Leap from a high window, walk out a ground-level door!)

I may even take Immediate Change, so at Lv.13, I can change identities (as a Swift Action!) while Urban-Stepping.

A thought: VV and Sonix can run stealth on the ground. Rorx and Fashion Bug can do bird's-eye stealth. Empathic links will allow the split party to keep tabs on each other. My familiar is a person, able to speak while in her Vigilante form, so she can communicate with Rorx when they fly together.

@Turlin,
Can you get you combat post in today or tomorrow? I'll write it now, editing in Mavrin's actions.


Male Human Alchemist lv. 5

Sorry, mini crisis! Writing post now.


Female Human Vigilante Brawler

No biggie. Thanks for posting! I'll edit a bit and post...!

For the record, you each landed two attacks. I did roll one miss for Mavrin, but the miss never happened since the enemy was dead before either of you could attack a third time.

@Rorx, as soon as players pick a location, I'll set the scene for a Crystalhue party.

Anywhere is fine I suppose

But I won't be here tomorrow. At least, gone for most the day.


Female Human Vigilante Brawler

No biggie.

I'll set up the scene at Baron von Heatmiser's then. He's my funniest looking NPC, which automatically makes his place a good choice!


Female Human Vigilante Brawler

The premise: we're at a Crystalhue gathering in a stable. The stable has the Dawnflower's shrine inside and all who walk onto the property have the Blessed Warmth effect for a full day. (It'll wear off long before episode 2 begins.)

Rorx can either enter or be someone who was already there. One possible reason for arriving/being there is that the night was deadly cold. A kind caster may have cast Endure Elements on Rorx, and may have directed him to bring Sonix to the Heatmiser's stable.

Or he's just there for the yak's milk and reindeer cookies.

In any case, our characters can chat in-game until Turlin takes over and begins Episode 2. But Episode 1 is OVER!!!

Quote:
Upon command, a suit of glamered armor changes shape and appearance to assume the form of a normal set of clothing. The armor retains all its properties (including weight) when it is so disguised. Only a true seeing spell or similar magic reveals the true nature of the armor when it is disguised.

I don't know why I didn't think of this before!

Changed armor to glamered spider silk! Less AC, but... if you're gonna wear shape-changing armor, you give up 1 AC because spider silk is way comfier than mithril! That, and if I wore a mithril shirt, anyone with True Sight would see me bare-assed!


Female Human Vigilante Brawler

Make that Glamered, Cushioned and Evolving spider silk!


Male half-orc

Wait a second - Sonix should have 6HD? :O


Female Human Vigilante Brawler

Yes. His INT only promoted twice though, so 9 not 10. And yes, we're going with full HD. I think he's an HD8 animal, but I might be wrong. Mine's a fey, so she gets HD6 / 30HP (9 in CON).


Male half-orc

So guys, where is the action happening now? I am assuming you already know Rorx prom previous endeavors? And pondering a way to drop in :D


Female Human Vigilante Brawler

We are on Victoria Peak, Snowberry Hill, the wealthiest area in the city of Rooftopolis. It's Crystalhue, and it was extremely cold—like go outside and you die cold. Our heroes just defeated the evil force behind the unnatural weather.

We are in a stable run on Baron von Heatmiser's property. The Dawnflower's influence is powerful here, to the extent that you feel the effect of Blessed Warmth. The yak's milk heals you, and the reindeer cookies increase a random stat by +2. (Not random if you pick the color of the candy nose.)

Spoiler:
Orange = +2 STR
Green = +2 DEX
Brown = +2 CON
Yellow = +2 INT
Blue = +2 WIS
Red = +2 CHA

I'm playing it up as if Addy knows of the other PCs, but is meeting them for the first time. She is also unaware that her fox is a person.

I intend to RP so we can learn about each other. I believe we will all have a connection to Patchwork Island, but I don't know if we are connected by the same NPC. I believe we do not know Patchwork Island exists, so any conversation related to next episode (coming from me) will be the fox I was given 4 or 5 years ago.

-----

How to drop in—head to Baron von Heatmiser's stable. The reason could be that you dropped off Sonix there. (Those casting Endure Elements were saving their spells for people.)

I don't believe you had a backstory up when I checked your profile—so that could be something to talk about.

Easiest common ground: we all work as part of Brother Seamus' peacekeeping force, justice league, or whatever you'd call that sort of thing. We're basically well-funded superheroes—the condition being that we risk our necks to protect the innocent. (At least when I GM. For all I know, Turlin's game will be like the Jumanji remake.)


Female Human Vigilante Brawler

Cool new avatar, Rorx!

When my sidekick changes forms, she'll be using an avatar that only one other Paizo member snagged before I did (because picked the avatar right after an update).

Hi! I'm sending you some PMs right now! Please ignore them in till my turn starts! Thanks! (I should be ready to start next week, most likely Wednesday!)


Female Human Vigilante Brawler

I love this!! And thanks for giving us an approximate start date.

I feel like I now share my character's anticipation, assuming she needs a few days to get her things in order...

I think I'm leveled.
Please check to make sure I didn't miss anything


Female Human Vigilante Brawler

There's nothing wrong with your profile, but do you know the cost of all your equipment? I suspect it's not even close to 15,000g!

You started the game with 10,000g and just earned another 5,000g.

If you have a masterwork gun and masterwork armor, you can have Addy upgrade the weapon and armor (meaning you can pay half price as long as the spell-crafting DC is 25 or less. That probably covers everything a Lv.6 character can spellcraft.

If you don't know the costs and such...:
MW Gun = 300g / MW Armor = 150g
+1 Enhancement = +1000g gun / +500g armor
+1 Magical Quality OR +2 Enhancement = +4000g / +2000g armor
+1 Magical Quality AND +2 Enhancement = +9000g / +4500g armor

If you only bought mundane equipment totaling 1000g or less, you can do a lot!

For 13,950g, you can convert your gun and armor to Masterworks and make them +2 armor and a +2 gun, each with a +1 Magical Quality!
Ranged Qualities
Armor Qualities

Let me know if you want Addy to Spellcraft for Cashara.


Female Human Vigilante Brawler

@Rorx, same offer for you. If your +1 equipment was upgraded at full price, you can just retcon your items as if Addy spellcrafts them sometime between now and Ep.2.

...and no offense taken if you don't take the offer in the interest of just being DONE leveling! Only take the offer if you feel the extra upgrade adds to your fun.


Male half-orc

I actually assumed Addy's spellcrafting from the start - abusive me :P

Ha!

Not abusive at all. I think teammates should support each other in every way, and that includes using skills/feats that keep item costs down.

I once played a LARP where there was talk of charging money for healing. I was a barbarian who consistently rushed to the frontline and wondered why I don't get paid for risking my life.

Alright! Wrap up your conversation and prepare yourself! We should start on Wednesday!


Female Human Vigilante Brawler

Wrapped on my end!

Looking forward to Wednesday!

I am apparently making my episode a little more action based.
don't worry, I am making sure to put skill based opportunities in there.


Female Human Vigilante Brawler

Whoops... wrong avatar. I'm still Addison in-game!

Darn editing window.

...and of course in the one post I got the avatar right, I made several typos.


Female Human Vigilante Brawler

In addition to replying to Cashara, my last post has two purposes:

#1 - to make fun of myself for using the wrong avatar.

#2 - if we can get just *one* more post, Turlin's first episode 2 post will be at the top of the page!

Hello! Should be able to post tomorrow afternoon but first...
1) My first post will be split up so if something happens I don't have to retype all of it.

2) Little warning! I'm not a very technical GM or rule savvy! So if I don't give a AoO when I should, or something else like that, just gently remind me!

3) I think this episode will quite a bit longer that VV's so... Bare with me! It may take longer for several reasons but the main reason is that there is multiple paths to your goal, one being a bit longer than the other.

Thanks and see ya tomorrow!


Female Human Vigilante Brawler

Yay! (Sings the Little Orphan Annie Tomorrow song.)

How to post on Paizo without hating yourself:

• Type your post.
• Select All.
• Copy.

Now you can post without fear!

On my phone, I sometimes type posts in the Notes app, then copy-paste into Paizo.


Male half-orc

Copy ALWAYS. It will crash on the one time you don't ;)

Me immediately after leveling up: "Yay! New feat!"

Me 31+ minutes after updating my character: "Eff you, Paizo! Eff you and your effing backtracking error!"

Yup

I'm pretty good about letting a GM know if I'm trying to get AoO attacks. I'm playing non-magic VV in another game, and I already love tripping casters! In that game, I let the GM know I was doing that specifically for the AoO I get if the caster tries to get up, cast from on the ground, etc. His next move would have been to cast invisibility and run, I believe, based on the wand we looted.

So yeah, if I use Trip I'll let you know why. I think quadrupeds are immune to Trip, so I don't know if I'll get much use out of the feat. For bipeds, know their CMD. My trip roll is any number from 15 to 34, and I believe Trip works on creatures one size larger than me. I can grow, and (probably) will if there are Huge men I can trip!


So I'll wait to start cuz you guys seem to want to the scene a bit longer! I'll check back in an hour or two and if y'all want to keep going I won't post till tomorrow.


Female Human Vigilante Brawler

Oh, I'm happy to move to Ep.2 tonight if your post is ready. I just figured I'd respond to others as long as RP'ing was going on.


Male half-orc

Good to go whenever ;)

Female Human Vigilante Brawler

@Peeved Camel,
I think it's fine to cut us off. At this point, we've at least established we're hearing each other's back stories.

...

Also, just so there's no surprise late in the episode, I will be offline for about three weeks in July. I'm heading to Hong Kong and Japan, and I won't be able to keep up with any RPGs while I'm away.


By "the man with too many gun cases" do you mean the short, fat one with the bowler hat?


Female Human Vigilante Brawler

Yes.


Female Human Vigilante Brawler

@Turlin,
Wow... my Highcastle Family PM from you is dated Christmas Eve! Talk about planning ahead!

I sent a PM to you, so I'll end Addy/VV's brain-fart regarding her past with Martha.

She is traumatized and now has multiple personality, so I'll chalk up forgetting Martha in real life to a symptom of the personality-split.

The two personas even have different alignments (one step apart; class requirement): Addy = NG / VV = CG
