GM Crunch and the Raiders of Shrieking Peak (Inactive)

Game Master Saving Cap'n Crunch

Hello, all! If you've come this far, here's hoping you'd like to play a little game.

Hey there, Mjolbeard here! Bringing my goblin monk, Derek, to kick some folks in the face!

I just need to get him all set up for level 5. This will actually be the first time I've played anything other than the level 1 adventures, so I'm excited to try some higher level stuff in PF2!

Good to have you! I have one, possibly two more people on the way. I doubt playing a GMPC is legal in the playtest, which would speed things up a bit, but I'm sure we can rustle up more recruits in time.

I will bring him down to level 5, got plenty of time to do that.

Okay, I'm in! I played this a few times. I will bring a pregen other than Fumbus or Valeros since I've played this through with them before. Maybe Amiri or Kyra?

I've played and ran it, but I wouldn't mind giving it another shot. Are you using the 1.6 rules? If so, are you wanting us to use our own custom built characters instead of the pregens?

In that case, welcome aboard! I've been using the 1.6 rules. You don't need to make a new character, but if you use a pregen, it'd help to convert the most relevant parts to 1.6 standard. Most of that shouldn't be too hard.

@ GM Crunch - Would please do me a favor and either create a Gameplay thread for dotting or shoot me a PM when we are ready to begin? Otherwise, I am afraid that I may inadvertently overlook the start.

I just finished playing my new L1 paladin in Rose Street Revenge, so I'll pump him up to L5 and bring him. His name is Xavier de Ramirez.

Oh yeah, the gameplay thread. That could be useful! I'll put up a quick post before hitting you with block text sometime tomorrow.

Your mission is now beginning! Make sure your taglines and profiles are about up to date. Also, questions for everyone: Do you worship Iomedae, and can you speak Jotun?

Playing with this guy instead, since I realize he is already built for me at level 5. Not using Harry. The answers are no and no.
He is 1502 instead of 1501

Sorry for the delay, just waiting on everyone to check in.

Pregenerated Beard, you are holding us up. Dot in, or dot and delete.

I sent Mjolbeard a PM on Saturday. I know they haven't dropped off the boards, so should another one fail, I may post in a thread they've been on of late.

Sorry for the delay guys! Been a very very busy week! Posting in gameplay now

Crunch is this where you suggested joining?

Easily confused goblin has concerns.

Yeah, this is the place!

How do you want me to step into the game? You guys are mid search.

Also to the others:

Hi everyone. Crunch offered me the chance to join up and step into this game with you. 4th session of playtest and 2nd time playing a character I've created but it's been a while.

Room for one more?

Sure, might as well. Hold off on introducing yourselves for now, though stealth-dotting would do. Remember to update characters as needed. I'll get in you once the safehouse is found, it shouldn't take long with reasonable rolls.

Assuming anyone but me tries to find the safehouse. Apparently this goblin is none-too-savvy at locating such locations!

And welcome to the game, folks!

Okay, I've been trying to find this answer on my own for the past several days before it becomes especially important, but I cannot find how much money we're supposed to have started this scenario with.

I'm trying to finalize all my purchases before we get into a situation where our inventory is going to be relevant so I'm not, you know, cheating!

I don't think anything has changed in this regard, so this should still be relevant.

Hi there GM and team! I've run into an unexpectedly busy period in life, and I'm really restricted on my posting hours, so I think I will have to back out of this game, as I'm going to need to cut down on the number of games I'm in while things are extra busy. So sorry!

GM, please remove me from the campaign whenever you get the chance.

Sorry again for the bother, folks! Hope your game goes great!

I'm sorry too, but there's no need to apologize. Real life always takes precedence. Here's hoping things level out and get better with whatever you're doing. Hopefully we'll also see you around the boards in the future as well!

I'll be pretty busy until probably next Thursday. I'm not sure what my posting rate will look like day to day. Don't hesitate to bot me if I haven't posted yet on a given day and am holding things up. There should be a Bot Me spoiler at the bottom of my profile but if there is not, recent posts should be indicative.

I'll be traveling for business and a convention between May 22 and May 28th. I expect my posting to be rather limited, if at all. Feel free to bot me.

I'm going to be at PaizoCon at least one of the days (preferably all of them, but at least Sunday), so no worries there.

I'm in the middle of selling my house and moving. I thought it was all wrapped up a week or two ago but a bunch of unexpected work was needed and I am unsure if I will be able to post. This should be resolved by the 24th but until then I would request that either the GM or caps bot me.

No worries, take as much time as you need.

Is there a site update going on? Everything looks to be in a different font or place and some stuff is getting un-bolded.

Edit: Well now it's back to normal. Maybe it was just me.

this does not look good. At GenCon Tjrren and I TPKed this encounter with pregens. And Merisiel got the drop on them with sneak attack and everything...

Yeah, it could go that way. You currently have two, maybe three not captivated. Kyra will have trouble healing herself. Thinking over Ryolle's mechanics, his ability is either insanely powerful or borderline meh. I think it's intended to be the former, unfortunately. I'll try to find the interpretation of other GMs. Considering this is playtest, I'm mulling over what I'll do if you wipe. It could just be a TPK, or you get saved, but I have other ideas too.

Series of rainstorms has flooded my basement. May be another day or two before I can get a post out.

I need to figure out this Retributive Strike ability. I'm not sure how it works.

I assume you know about the update to it and are using that one. But basically, if an enemy attacks your ally and both are within 15 feet of you, you can spend a reaction to give your friend DR 7 (2 plus your level). If the enemy's in melee range, you can also take a swing at -2.

The old one let you attack an enemy in response to them hitting an ally, if you can reach the former. Then it gives them a debuff.

Yep, I was reading the old one. I think I need to give someone that DR 7.

I've started reporting the game, because either way it ends you'll receive your points. Also, I'm not sure if the message in Flaxseed pertains to the playtest, so I'll do it just in case. Muriel and Kyra, could you give me your numbers?

Also, I'm sorry this is what the game has come to. Could be worse, but could be a whole lot better. It should be over somewhat soon.

I would say this particular fight is going better than it went for Tjrren and I at GenCon with pregens.

At least you can't kill of playtest characters, but you still get the credit. I'm trying to get as many playtest points as possible before the 2nd pathfinder starts.

I'm not worried about it. I'm just having fun playing it and seeing how the rules work for various classes.

PFS # 90900-1502

Good job! I honestly didn't expect you to make it. I had a TPK-esque way to keep everyone from actually dying planned since the first bad round.

Haha, thanks for taking it easy on us. If that harpy had stayed airborne I think we would have been toast.

Eh, I wouldn't call getting enchanted for up to a few months before he gets bored and lets you go easy. Easier, though! Funnily enough, he didn't have any ranged attacks.
