GM Otha's Wonders in the Weave Series (Inactive)

Game Master Otha

This is the Discussion page for Wonders in the Weave, parts I & II. The Revered Master Poh, Azrael the Talon, and Izlin Greymantle please dot and delete in the Gameplay thread at your leisure...

Going on a cruise soon so we won't be starting for at least a couple of weeks, probably on or around April 22nd. Figured it'd be easier to go ahead and start a campaign thread as opposed to pm'ing everyone...

Of the others that played Tower of the Ironwood Watch, Jactus mentioned at the time that he was taking a break, Dermot said he was swamped, and I still haven't heard back from Sirrah. I'll be sending a PM to Kramac/Yogadragon to see if he has an available in tier character and I'll be contacting the fellow that wanted to play Towers but replied just a few minutes too late. As before, I'll open it up to recruiting if I have trouble filling the other 3 slots...

Most of you know my style; my games usually run at a fairly quick pace. Y'all are also well aware that my grasp of the rules are not as thorough as yours. However, I see that as a good thing; while I'll do my best to keep from screwing things up too much, call me on it when I do and I'll retcon/fix it promptly...

I'm starting the prep work presently. Hoping to have most of the prep done before I depart so we can hit it running when I get back. Looking forward to playing with y'all again...

The talon is back in action!

"Hic! Luglurch all round!"

BY THE BONES! Why is HE back?

Haven't heard back from Kramac or Sirrah...the other guy I contacted has already played those two scenarios...will give it another day or so and then open it up in the recruiting thread...

Just heard back from Kramac and he'll be joining us; he has a couple in tier characters to choose from...

Kramac here - I have an alchemist currently playing in Solstice Scar (done in early may I think?) that I can bring. Alternatively, I have an unbuilt level 5 character I can bring along (Thinking druid, oracle, or skald for him).

Lots of monks in this group...

Lots of monks in this group...

"Revered Master Poh welcomes new students! Free beer with first lesson!"

"You mistaken, the Talon is not a monk, but a demon hunter and warrior."

"Well, I'll agree you've got a long way to go before you can call yourself a Master. Your style is terrible! And your footwork!"

Hello GM Otha!

Very much looking forward to gaming with you!. ;-)

Player name: noral
Character name: Zaarah Katsu
PFS number: 314670-4
Faction: Scarab Sages
Progression speed: normal
Day job (roll): perform dance : 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

Welcome aboard, Zaarah! One more and our party will be set...

I'm recruiting for the last spot in the Flaxseed Forum...

I would be interested if there is still room. I have a 5L(6L) Hydrokineticist(Cold) named Glorne that is finishing up Mysteries under the moonlight (just started last battle), or a 7L Elven Warpriest named Phosdlon who is available now.

Well...I am mistaken. Glorne will be 6L at the end of this session, but I forgot that he has been committed to Part 1 of the Mysteries under the Moonlight series once we finish Part 2.

Phosdlon just hit 7L as a Elven Warpriest who specializes in the longbow, but can melee a little with his Elven Curved Blade if needed.

You listed you were looking for 5-6, so I will bow out if Phosdlon is too high.

Welcome aboard, Phosdlon! Level 7 is fine as it can fit in with low tier (5-6) or high tier (8-9)…

So that completes our party...

Thank you for the invitation. Greetings to all.

Player name: philipjcormier
Character name: Phosdlon
PFS number: 55792-4
Faction: Grand Lodge
Progression speed: Normal
Day job (roll): None

Feel free to look at my character sheet and ask if you have questions.

Again, Phosdlon is primarily a range attacker, but can melee a little if needed.

Yogadragon, no hurries, you can provide that info when you decide which character you'll be bringing...

The link to the map/slides is active now, in the campaign header at the top of each page as well as in my header. With the exception of Yogadragon's TBD PC, I've already filled in the Initiative and Perception blocks but double check me to make sure they're right...you can play around with the default marching order as you see fit:

Intro Slide

I'm fixing to put up just an initial post in the Gameplay thread...you can post introductions and/or do some pre-game roleplaying as you wish but we won't start with the brief in earnest till around the 22nd, after I get back...

Looking forward to playing with y'all!

I would prefer to be 4th or 5th. I cannot adjust the map/slides without permission.

I just realized that the last gave leveled me up to 7th. Perception is now +10.

Sorry 'bout the slides, accidentally had 'em in view mode...think I got if fixed now but if y'all have issues, gimme a holler:

Editable Intro Slide

Moved Phosdlon to 5 in marching order and updated Izlin's Perception to +10. Feel free to update those as needed...

So, I feel like a complete dolt. I did not update my PFS Tracker correctly. I have actually played both Wonders in the Weave.

With. This. Character.

I'm so sorry Otha, I know you worked hard with everyone to find a scenario.

I do not want to make your table short, so I will be happy to play for no credit.

Again, I feel like an absolute jerk.

Guess I need to decide what to make now...

Leaning towards a Druid at the moment.

No worries, Izlin. Think I have another guy that can play. I'll keep you in mind next time... Izlin's a great character...

Hey! I am going to pop in! I need to level up, and will do so on baby duty 4am shift (fingers crossed). Thanks!

No worries, Ischell, you've got plenty of time to level up before we start in earnest. Welcome aboard and good luck with the 4am morning shift...I remember those days...or nights I should say...

Nevermind, I thought Ischell needed leveled- but he didn't. I am good to go!

Faction: Silver Crusade
Progression: Normal
Day Job Roll: Nil

Purchase: 1 potion of fly, 750

Good news! Solstice scar just finished! So I can play my alchemist Ridley in this. He just hit level 6.

Ready here.

GM, I might have missed that but how high is the ceiling?!

GM, I might have missed that but how high is the ceiling?!

Ceiling is 30' high (I think I mentioned it an ooc post but it would've been easy to miss)..if you fly 5+ feet higher you'd be out of his reach...

My apologies for the late arrival. I had checked in Monday, but there wasn't any "New Posts" showing after the Gameplay listing on the Campaign page.

Phosdlon has an Ioun Torch of his own and will activate it when we enter.

If Gm Otha will allow, perhaps Zaarah could re-con the purchase of an Ioun Torch herself since they are only 75 GP. I could also switch out one of my cantrips for light as an option before we enter. Phosdlon never got around to purchasing a Wayfinder.

Of course I can retcon a purchase if that is allowed. :-)

Fine by me, Zaarah...

Noted. Thanks.

Internet outage here, so I’ll be a bit slower in updating.

No worries, Azrael, thanks for letting us know.

All of Phosdlon's arrows are Durable. Would it be safe to assume I find them all or will you roll at the end?

Since you're firing in a swamp, I'll say there'll be a small chance of you losing a missed shot...

Find<=80: 1d100 ⇒ 72
Find<=80: 1d100 ⇒ 50

...after the encounter, you'll find the two you just fired...

Thanks a lot for GMing!! This was a great game!!!

Thanks, I enjoyed it as well, y'all were awesome! I've reported the session. Since I only have write permissions on PDFs at work, I'll have your Chronicles to you by tomorrow (Monday)...but so you can start applying/purchasing stuff before we run part 2, I copied what you'll be receiving from your chronicles below:

Wonders in the Weave, Part I: The Dog Pharaoh's Tomb Chronicle Info:

PFS Info
---------
XP: 1
PP: 2
In-Tier Gold: 2517 gp
Out-of-Tier Gold: 4006 gp (think this only applies to Phosdlon)

For those of you that it applies to and have not done so yet, don't forget your Day Job rolls!

I'll keep the game running in this thread so keep an eye out for the start of Part II of Wonders in the Weave, aka Snakes in the Fold. I'll probably kick it off either Tuesday night or Wednesday morning, if that suits everyone...

Works for me, no purchases from Azrael for the next game.

day job, bad advice: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15 Is Perform (oratory)

Poh buys a Belt of Mighty Constitution +2, and refills his barrel of Luglurch.

Phosdlon just hit 7L before we started and, due to two deaths in the last 4 games, is too poor to buy what he wants to at this time.

Ready when everyone else is.

Good to go. No purchases here.

Twice? Whew, that's gotta be rough...my 3rd level half-Orc ranger died last year and I didn't have the resources to raise him. I had several very close calls with my -1 (Flyn) but was able to dodge those with a bit of luck...

If you don't mind my asking, what scenarios did he die in?

Based on the one scenario that I saw, I have a hard time seeing Flyn as a death risk.

I very very nearly lost my -1 playing (way) out of tier on 7-17. Our beast of a tank bit it on that session too. It was ugly
