[RetroCon] GM Ladile & the Pathfinder Society Present: Legacy of the Stonelords (CORE Tier 10-11) (Inactive)

Game Master Lady Ladile

All Out-of-Character (OOC) chatter goes here!

This is where I solicit some information from each of you that I'll use to prepare your chronicles at the end of the adventure as well as when I'm reporting the game on the website! I'll need the following information:

***Basic Information Form***

This Chronicle #:
Starting XP:
Initial Prestige:
Initial Fame:
Prestige Spent on this Chronicle:
Starting Gold:
Day Job Roll:
Gold Spent on this Chronicle:
Anything else you want me to note on your Chronicle:

I know some of these values may change as you make purchases and the like so it's not a problem if you want to wait on providing some of that information until closer to the end of the scenario. If you want to wait on making Day Job rolls until the end, that's also fine. If you're aiming to tick off any boxes on Faction Journal cards, ask me about them at the conclusion of the scenario and I'll be happy to let you know if anything qualifies and make a note of it on your chronicle if you like!

For players new to play-by-post PFS, please check out some time-tested resources:

The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge
Painlord's Advanced PbP Play
Doomed Hero's Guide to PbP Gaming
GM Damo's user profile offers excellent additional guidance and tips.

This Tagline Template offers a basic setup for your own PC's PbP tagline, providing vital information at a glance. Please, modify/adapt it to your own PC's crucial needs.

Please ensure you have an updated stat block associated with your PC and any companions or familiars.

For those using Hero Lab, it's quite simple:
Under the "File" tab, select "Output Hero Statblock." In the pop-up menu, select the "BBCode" tab and click on the "Copy" button. In your PC's Paizo profile, click on the "Edit My Profile" button. Then paste it into the "About [Your PC's Name]" block near the bottom of the page.

Got some questions? Post them here in the Discussion thread.

Some Basic Rules of Engagement (ROE):

OOC Text: When mistakes are made or clarifications are necessary, just let us know in the discussion thread. Let's keep the ooc text in the gameplay thread to a minimum.

Conditions/Effects: Regarding penalties or bonuses/buffs/debuffs from conditions/effects, please, players, indicate any bonuses/penalties to attacks, damage, etc separately--to remind the GM and other players.

For example, [dice=Attack, Power Attack, Inspire Courage, Fatigued]d20-1+1-2; d8+2+1-2[/ dice].

Animal Companion/Mount/Familiar/Eidolon: Please create a separate alias for it, especially if it will act on its own.

Initiative: Animal Companions/Mounts/Familiars/Eidolons will have their own Initiative results, unless the PC is mounted on the creature. They can act independently or you can opt to have you and your companion act at the same time on the lower of the two Initiative results. The one with the higher result will be considered delayed, but not flat-footed. (If mounted, the mount acts on the PC's initiative.)

Miss Chance: I prefer to roll miss chances as the GM; if you roll it, please use a d100, where a "miss" is less than or equal to the percentage chance.
______________

Swiped the above post mostly verbatim from GM Lorenzo, as we tend to run our games very similarly~

Okay folks! Some of you have played with me before and this won't be anything new to you but here is where I ask you to tell me about your character. Let me know who you're bringing, what they're about, and if there's anything unusual about their mechanics that I need to know or expect as a GM.

Second, if you haven't already, please set up a 'Bot Me' spoiler under your profile with some instructions (as general or as specific as you prefer) on how to operate your character should I find myself needing to bot you at any point. Alternatively, if you may also designate other players to bot your character for you instead of me if that is what you prefer - it won't hurt my feelings if you do!

This is the core table yes?

This profile should I think be up to date.

Alonso tends to always be invisible (via his ring) and flying (via overland flight). He keeps in touch with the group with message.

^Yep! Thanks for reminding me to add the 'CORE' designation to the campaign thread.

Hi, present! Will wait for party balance before deciding, but I think more than likely it'll be my cleric instead of my wizard.

Anything else you want me to note on your Chronicle: No.

Ragnar is a former Sczarni smug... trader who is now a high ranking member of the Exchange. As such he likes helping his allies maximize profits for their talents so all allies get a +3 circumstance bonus to day job rolls.

Ragnar is an archery focused human ranger with a pet constrictor snake named Hugsy. Hugsy has a large green festive looking hat strapped to her head. This was done in hopes that the average person would be more accepting of the sight of a massive carnivorous reptile. Results have been inconclusive.

Ragnar is trained to fight his fellow humans +6 with some special training in how to combat undead and evil outsiders. +2 each.

As you might expect from a smu *cough* reputable businessman Ragnar is quite comfortable in civilized areas. +4 in urban. But dungeoncrawling has forced him to adapt. +2 in caves and dungeons.

In combat Ragnar shoots things and has Improved Precise Shot. He is using a Holy bow and his default arrows are cold iron but he does have a few silver, adamantium, and ghost touch arrows. But the concept of blunt arrows eludes him.

Hugsy the constrictor snake distracts enemies while Ragnar shoots them.

Glad to see folks checking in! I must say that I'm already quite entertained by the idea of a ghost dwarf (our friendly Invizard), TAIR-BOOT-YAY guy, and snakes in hats :3

Spellwise Ragnar will use his lesser extend rod to cast extended greater magic fang on Hugsy and extended Longstrider.
I'm hoping Alanso can spare a Mage Armor for her in which case the 3rd charge would be used for that.
And he will have a couple of Barkskins memorized (CL 9) for when things get rough.

I'm hoping Alanso can spare a Mage Armor for her in which case the 3rd charge would be used for that.

I certainly can although if you could provide a pearl of power for it that would be great. If not I will use one of my own.

I don't have one. I suppose I can buy one.

They are only 1k and are useful for your own spells as well.

Welcome! Glad to see that everyone is trickling in; I think Suede is the only one that has yet to check in (sent them a PM) but I know with Christmas almost here folks are busier than usual so there's not a huge rush just yet :)

Travel/Freedom Domains

I have a number of channel related feats: Turn Undead, Extra, Selective and Improved.

I have the Force for Good trait so I exude an aura of Chaos 1 level than my level should be and an aura of Good 2 levels higher than appropriate for my Hit Dice.

Non-Core item
Cracked Mulberry Pentacle Ioun Stone

I will likely be the party face (Diplomacy +19, +2 vs Good creatures).

My Spell Storing armor will begin with a Bestow Curse spell stored in it.

I have the Haunt Specialist Boon.

Do you want my memorized spells?

I'd actually appreciate a filled out profile under your alias like the other players - it doesn't have to be formatted all fancy or anything, just so long as I can read it and have it available to reference if I need it. I'd also like a tagline similar to how the other players have theirs with HP, saves, etc. Just saves me time if I need information, rather than having to ask and then wait until you're able to reply back.

Anything else you want me to note on your Chronicle:
Sir Godfrey exudes a 10ft aura of +3 AC and saves vs all undead and constructs that helps allies and himself.

Sir Godfrey is a shadowdancer, he has a shadow I have a separate alias for. Standard operating procedure is it floats in the square beneath him being his "shadow" in non-combat, and takes a square beside him when he's expecting a fight.

He has Improved Uncanny Dodge, Combat Reflexes, and Blind Fight. So he's never flatfooted and can always take AoOs. Rogues need to be level 10 to get flank on him for sneak attack, no one else gets flank bonuses.

He also had mobility and combat expertise, UMD with a shield wand, smite, and with his aura his AC can tend to be all over the place and I will do my best to let you know what it's at for a particular target.

I've been holding off filling out the profile as I'll be adding a GM chronicle tomorrow. I will be sure to do so once I finalize everything.

^Okay, sounds good! :)

I have to revise this as I added a GM credit.

Hey guys! Just checking in to remind everyone that we start exactly a week from today - huzzah! Please make any final character adjustments/purchases that you might want to make (it shouldn't be surprising but there won't be any opportunity for shopping once we start) and keep your eye on the campaign. While I'm generally reluctant to actually bot higher-level characters (I'd rather put you in Delay until you can post for yourself) if you DO have any botting instructions or preferences, please note them on your profile somewhere.

Since I know campaigns sometimes get wonky about showing post notifications I'll be PMing each of you when we officially start but I'd also encourage you to be sure to check the Gameplay thread for yourselves if things seem like they're been too quiet, for too long.

Hope everyone is looking forward to the game; I know I am! :)

I'll buy the pearl of power lvl 1.

Hey, looking at this again, there's both a wizard and a cleric in the party. With that, I'm inclined to play my wizard unless the cleric doesn't really heal - my cleric is basically just a healer and it's not a good redundancy to have.

All I will say is that you should play whichever character speaks to you - but I obviously understand wanting to make selections for a more balanced party, especially at these levels.

Also, I went ahead and made a 'setting the scene' post in Gameplay. For those who haven't checked in and introduced their character, please feel free to do that now. The special proper will begin on Monday the 14th, as scheduled :)

Gonna go with my wizard.

Alvin comes with a faerie dragon familiar.

Beginning of Scenario: Can use his Master Librarian Dark Archive faction card to requisition up to 3 items at the beginning of the scenario worth up to a total of 1,100 gp. Going to get: Antiplague, Scroll of Major Image, Scroll of Remove Curse These items go away at the end of the scenario if I don't use them but don't cost any gold for me.

^So noted!

Does that +28 to day jobs include Ragnar's +3? If not you have a 46. And due to the same boon granting a +3, A roll of 45 or higher gains 200 gold instead of the 150 gold cap.

It does not include that, so his roll would be 46 for 200 gold per your boon.

Could have sworn I had one already but it isn't on any of my recent chronicles. So I'll take one of those continual flames on say Pookie's harness.

Even though dwarves used to live here, I'm guessing this counts as a dungeon instead of urban.

At the end of the scenario I will scribe the following spells from Alvin (assuming we both survive!)

1st - arcane lock, unnatural lust
2nd - bestow insight, blindness/deafness, command undead, hypnotic pattern, locate object, mirror image, whispering wind
3rd - displacement, nondetection
4th - lesser simulacrum, mnemonic enhancer, shadow conjuration, stoneskin
5th - passwall, shadow evocation
6th - eyebite, mislead, move earth, shadow walk, stone to flesh, veil

@Ragnar - Oh yes, this is very much a dungeon.

@Alonso - Wow! That's a lot of spells - noted! :)

Just to double-check, I've got the following effects running right now:

Entire Party - Message

Alonso
Mage Armor
Overland Flight
Invisibility (as much as possible)
Heightened Continual Flame Item (SL 5, CL 10)

Alvin
Overland Flight

Riddywhipple
False Life (+15 temp HP)
Heightened Continual Flame Item (SL 4, CL 7)

Hugsy
Greater Magic Fang
Longstrider
Mage Armor

Fredreka
Longstrider

Correct?

Correct for Hugsy.

Correct here.

Yes for now. I am likely to add more as we go.

What Alonso said, correct for now. :)

That is correct but all this longstrider being cast has caused Polanco to cast it too.

^Gotcha!

Hey folks, I'll be out of town most of the day tomorrow (Saturday the 19th) and so GM RePete will be monitoring the thread and keeping the game moving as necessary!

And don't forget, we've got an Aid Token! Unlike later specials there are no boosting mechanics for Aid Tokens so we need to use it and pass it along as quick as possible! Aid Token Benefits can be found here and I will link them at the top of the campaign as well.

What action do we use for an aid token. Inspire for example.

Aid Tokens are free actions to use.

No porblem GM Ladile.

When you get a moment, please mark me inactive on the campaign. Good luck all.

Did I post or send my memorized spell list at any point.

We are dogsitting and all my PFS paperwork got thrown into several piles and now I can't find my memorized spells... :(

Aid Token drop off from GM Weenerton's table.

@Fredreka - No, I don't believe that you did.

@All - I'm sorry for the silence; I've been sick and while I initially thought that I would be feeling well enough today/yesterday to post that turned out to not be the case. I'm calling in a backup GM to take over for a day or two while I'm on the mend and hopefully someone will drop in a bit later and get things moving again. Apologies for the inconvenience!

Get well soon.

Stepping in for GM Ladile for a moment while she recovers. Bumped you up to Act 4 as per Overseer statement.
