GM Weenerton Outpost Treason's Chains - A (Inactive)

Game Master OG3

Hello everyone and welcome to Treason's Chains. I have a few requests of you before we get started.

Please make sure you status bar is updated with your basic details: HP, AC, Saves, Init bonus, Perc bonus, and any active effects I should know about.

Please make sure your profile is up to date with your latest character sheet. I would appreciate any botting instructions there as well, should the need arise.

Please navigate to the Character Details spreadsheet in the header. The yellow fields are for you to fill out. This will make chronicles easier to build and generate some rolling blocks for me.

I expect a post per day and one over the weekend. If you have real-life stuff happens that keeps you from committing to this cadence, please let me know via Discussion or PM.

In this discussion thread please describe any mechanic or tactic I should know about: i.e. reach, immunity to X, mounts, familiars, etc. Also give me your day job roll here and drop the gold into the Character Details sheet up top.

Mathos checking in. The sheet is view only Weenerton.

Mathos is a Living Grimoire inquisitor. He hits things with a book which is essentially a cold iron mace for all intents and purposes, except it also serves as his spell book. He has Hand of the Acolyte which means he can throw it and it comes back a number of times per day.

Not much else to pass along except from RP things. Mathos is a prissy fop who does not like to get his hands dirty. I know that this can have effects on the group so I have him "stumble" or "trip" while healing himself and accidentally heal someone else if he needs to heal. This is just an example to illustrate.

Yes, you need to allow us to edit spreadsheet

Link sharing updated.

Day Job. Barrister: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

I realized that Bahen has played one of the Solstice Scars before, so I'm switching him to a Solstice Scar table. I'm now going to my investigator so we can get some knowledges and some trapfinding ability.

Jikma is a ratfolk investigator with the scavenger archetype. Its just a flavor note really, but all my extracts are single use clockwork constructs instead. And if we fight a construct, I'll actually be able to do some damage against them.

Craft (clockwork): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

good deal.

Hi there! I wish you a great game to all of us!

---

Zeta is normal usual witch, except of THIS

A demon-sworn always inflicts some pain, whether she wants to or not. Each hex deals 1d4 points of nonlethal damage to creatures affected by it, in addition to any damage the hex normally deals.

I believe, it happens only first time it affects the target, not "every round of misfortune". More for some roleplay, you know )

Craft (Weapon): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

And she also forges beautiful daggers!

I've PMd the 2 missing folks. Hope to start on time.

Here I am...sorry....missed the pm....

no day job...she's a slacker

Still looking for a replacement?

Looks like you were, so I signed up with this character.

A few notes about Vandelaria. This is her first adventure, but she is starting at level 2 due to the maestro of manumission boon from special 9-00. She also has access to the spellslinger wizard archetype from another boon from the same adventure.

She will spend her time between scenarios crafting more ammunition.

Craft:Alchemy (Crafter's Fortune): 1d20 + 6 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 5 = 29

very good! welcome aboard. quite the spread, we have!

Vandelaria is not trained in any of the required skills.

GM is training necessary in Sleight of Hand? Normally it is a trained only skill, but it seems silly that someone is incapable of pouring a drink without any training.

While I like that argument, it sounds like Jikma will most likely have to do either Diplomacy or Intimidate untrained. As a small creature, I'd prefer to diplomacy.

I'm willing to help out in the stables. You only need to be trained in Handle Animal to train animals.

You can attempt a DC 10 to Aid Another on any untrained skill with someone else doing the primary.

Hey, as you might know, big chunks of the midwest are flooded. Stuff here is mostly okay, but it has made life a little harder here. I might be a little slow. Feel free to bot me as you will

Ah, sorry to hear that. I'll keep that in mind. Stay safe.

hi folks, we seem to have stalled a bit. Lobda is looking for information about why you want to proceed to the warehouse.

If there is any other feedback about pace or description that can help increase engagement? Happy to take feedback here or over PM.

I've been having to deal with sick kids (and self) most of this week because of a stomach bug going around. So between that and work, my time has been limited. I'm going to try to catch up tonight.

Totally appreciate that. Thanks for letting me know.

That moment when you decided you needed a little push at work... and a few days passed very suddenly :) I'm going back to the active process.

GM Weenerton, like a Muppet I forgot to prepare spells for the day. In the interest of fairness would you like to select a random assortment from my list?

Oops, I didn't write either, but I meant two mage armor spells.

Mathos, i just went alphabetical:

0: acid splash, bleed, brand, create water
1: bane, cure light wounds, divine favor, ear piercing scream
2: blistering invective, cure moderate wounds

Zeta, That's fine.

Some of us seem to be fighting and some of us seem to be trying not to fight. Were the guards expected?

To get past the guards you'll need the password, "break through". That's all I can provide you with.

So why did we attack them? (directed to the other players not the GM)

This is a good opportunity to talk about the motivations here. I encourage y'all to set some principles you might all operate under as a group. The added complexity of a Lawful characters always bends the group, I find.

Either way, Vandelaria, the battle is joined. Let's go ahead and get through it as y'all figure out how you want to proceed in future potential altercations.

I'm going to be on the road tomorrow, and then for the next few days, I'm at a little family get together. I'm assuming where we're staying has wi-fi, and I'll have devices, so it should work out fine, but I might not be able to post until late at night. (U.S. Mountain time). If I'm holding anything up, please feel free to bot me.

Vandelaria, just a mistake. I misread goblin's words, no one intervened, and it began. In my defence, I note that Zeta has -1 to perception and sense motive. She could simply not listen carefully. And the comrades did not act in time to say the right words.

@Vandelaria - Edwin tried to detect the evil and act accordingly to that. But GM started combat and I accepted it.

I'm confused about the map. It looks like Edwin charged yellow and then the guards moved, but it doesn't appear as if it was their turn yet.

OK, correction of incorrect statement.

GM started the initiative and Shayna started a combat.

@Vandelaria - Sorry, this will not happen again.

I'm confused about the map. It looks like Edwin charged yellow and then the guards moved, but it doesn't appear as if it was their turn yet.

ah, yes. apologies. I was working through a turn last night when I realized you hadn't gone yet. i'll move them back.

@Vandelaria - Edwin tried to detect the evil and act accordingly to that. But GM started combat and I accepted it.

You and Mathos both cast a spell, which makes a lot of noise, at the same time Zeta made a threat. Various threatening actions without the password prompted the combat.

No worries. It just seemed like the players were working towards different ends and I just wanted to clarify so that we were all on the same page.

Hello, I'm going in for surgery. I'm told I should have a rather quick recovery and be back to normal in a day or two. Please bot me when necessary

- I’m not sure that Zig did it or that he knew what was going to happen... Why him? What evidence?

Just on case.

This question is not asked before going to bed, it refers to the situation when he was captured. Zeta is trying to figure it out on the spot.

You said we could write on that subject too.

boon, GM: 1d20 ⇒ 12

boon, Zeta: 1d20 ⇒ 1

boon, Mathos: 1d20 ⇒ 9

boon, Jikma: 1d20 ⇒ 19
Jikma boon: 1d4 ⇒ 4

boon, Vandelaria: 1d20 ⇒ 19
Vandelaria boon: 1d4 ⇒ 1

boon, Shayna: 1d20 ⇒ 13

boon, Edwin: 1d20 ⇒ 19
Edwin boon: 1d4 ⇒ 2

We are closing in on the end and can probably report soon. Nice boon rolls, folks!!!!

Congratz

Alright folks! Good job.

I'll work on chronicles and reporting tonight. Please let me know if there's anything special for your chronicle.

Edwin and Zeta, i think I still need a downtime action from you: day job or otherwise.

Thank you GM for running!

I don't have day job.

Thank you guys for a great game.

Craft (Weapon): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

Thank you all for a great game!

Thankyou GM Weenerton and thank you other players. This was fun.

GG guys...and ty for running this GM Weenerton.

Is there a link for chronicles?

sorry, i ended up away for the weekend. will try to get these to y'all in the next day or so.

Chronicles here. Please do let me know if anything is off.

GM Weenerton. I am level 4, so if we played low tier I should get out of sub-tier gold I think.
