I expect on average one post a day during the week, and at least one post over the weekend. I generally check in 1-2 times a day to respond to questions and update, particularly during combats, but that can go up or down based on how busy I am at work. If you are not in a US time zone, let me know so I have an idea of when to expect to hear from you (and so I can put another pin in my "where are my players from" map! :) ). If you know you're going to be out for an extended period, let me know and provide some sort of botting instructions.
For chronicles, please post the following information in this format (it helps me to keep organized to have everyone do it the same way):
Player Name:
Character Name:
PFS ID#:
Faction:
Character level (for subtier determination):
Normal or Slow track:
Day Job check or Downtime activity:
Please post an in-character introduction in the Gameplay thread, and an out-of-character one here. It will help me to have a heads-up on any particularly high skill checks, attacks, or AC, or special abilities that may be unusual.

Faction: Grand Lodge
Character level (for subtier determination): 4th

Player Name: philipjcormier
Character Name: Hannar the Wild
PFS ID#: 55792-8
Faction: Grand Lodge
Character level: 4 (for subtier determination):
Normal or Slow track: Normal
Day Job check or Downtime activity: None
Hannar just turned 4L. He is an Elemental (Fire) Sorcerer. I took Glitterdust as my only 2L spell because I get Burning Hands for free at 5L.
I have 4 scrolls of Mage Armor (6L) left from The Confirmation Chronicle.
Although I carry a Wayfinder in an inside pocket of my Traveler's Outfit, I usually cast Light from my cantrip list so someone else can use it to cast Light if needed.
Not much else.

There are times in the story where asking for a check would give away that something is happening, so instead of rolling secretly I am going to have everyone make several checks in advance. This way, you can also let me know of any situational modifiers that might apply, and can also flag a check as something you would spend a reroll on. In the latter case, give me a second check, and when the time comes, I will tell you if your re-roll got spent.
Please fill out each of the checks below, and mark "N/A" on knowledge skills you lack.
Perception #1:
Perception #2:
Perception #3:
Perception #4:
Perception #5:
Knowledge (local):
Knowledge (planes):
Knowledge (history):
Knowledge (arcana or planes, pick one):
Knowledge (planes):
Sense Motive:

*Use the Sense Motive boost vs the first NPC check.
***Ironshanks has the following boon from Grand Lodge so he can make knowledge checks at the start of the scenario untrained, as well as +2 to one knowledge check or gather info check per scenario. Use it on a knowledge check to ID a monster.
PREPARED AGENT (2+ goals): You are more prepared for missions than most Pathfinders. When you attempt a Knowledge check as a part of an adventure’s mission briefing, treat all Knowledge skills as trained. Once per adventure, you can add a bonus equal to half the number of goals you have completed to one Knowledge check or Diplomacy check to gather information. (+2)
***I was sad my one trained knowledge wasn't on the list so I added it.

Question: I know if you cast Light a second time, the first goes out. My questions is: if you cast it a second time from a different source, does the first still go out?
If it does, I will ask Venture-Captain Sheila Heidmarch to use a Wayfinder(Hers or mine) on him to make it easier to follow him...at least for a little while.
Edit: I just re-read the entry. The duration is 10 min./level. I assume the Wayfinders are consider 1L, but a character using a cantrip is different.
Edit: Just thought of something funny. If someone had Continual Flame, they could cast it on him for a flaming sleepwalking zombie. (Insert Evil laugh here).

GM Rinaldo |

To answer your question, I would count Light spells from a magic item or a wand to be their own sources, so regardless of who activated them, they would not interfere with each other, but anyone activating the same item again would cause the first to go out.

This is Season 5, with 4 player adjustment available for all of the encounters. I think you should be fine.

Besides, we have an ulfen sorcerer, what could go wrong?

![]() |

Yeah, that worked out pretty well. Pretty rare in my experience, but I guess in CORE there are fewer "rogue' options to handle the traps and such. Still, looks like a well rounded team.

GM Rinaldo |

This weekend is PaizoCon, so I will be post seldom if at all between Friday morning and Monday evening. There is a chance I might check in Saturday evening, but it's not guaranteed.

![]() |

This weekend is going to be full of fishing and yard work here... if it doesn't rain. I'll be awol until Sunday most likely.
Enjoy your weekend all.

GM Rinaldo |
1 person marked this as a favorite. |

Recovering from the convention, may post tonight if my brain has enough cycles. If not, could be Wednesday, as Tuesday may have "catch up from the days off" issues.

GM Rinaldo |

Diving into work now, things don't look too bad. May be able to post this afternoon if things go well.

![]() |

Well, the goal WAS to surprise and demoralize them, not start the fight, lol.
Still, I never get the chance to stealth up in face to face PFS games. I usually get push back from bored players or the clock. So, Pbp is really the only time I try to take advantage of the format.

GM Rinaldo |

I feel your pain. Even sonme GMs in PFS games don't want to bother with letting the sneaky character scout ahead or get a good position.
Sadly, in this case, you surprised them, but they weren't going to be easily dissuaded. :-\

![]() |

I don't blame you for trying. This is a great format for lots of things, stealthing/scouting included!
Now we're into MY wheelhouse! Ironshanks attack!

![]() |

Umm...you have Blue unconscious/bleeding yet he AoO our charge? Also if he is sleepwalking, how did he get so far in one round? That many diagnals is 50'. Sorry to nitpick and I understand if I missed something, I was just curious. Maybe the 2 tables getting a little crossover.

GM Rinaldo |

Nope, absolutely question things. That's two mistakes in one post. I apologize; I generally try to keep it down to one mistake at a time. :-|
I miscounted Kal's squares, so he should be one back. I've moved him back.
And I had failed to mark Blue's counter, so I let him take an AoO he shouldn't have. No damage to Kal.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled scenario.

![]() |

Just a reminder: I've done this scenario before in normal mode so I'm going to attempt to keep that knowledge at bay and hope others can figure it out.

![]() |

Hannar isn't strong enough to restrain him normally. I am trying to weaken him so Hannar can try and stop him before he gets killed.

GM Rinaldo |

Ahah, fair enough. The problem with that is that it only lasts one round, so it won't help as much is it would at a higher caster level.

GM Rinaldo |

... And that's a wrap!
I have a visitor this weekend, so I'm not sure exactly when I will be able to get chronicles done, but it should be in the next couple of days. Meanwhile, thanks to everyone for an enjoyable game!

![]() |

Thanks for the great game GM. You really went the extra mile and it was appreciated on my end. Holler my way if you ever want some more Massee-based PCs!

GM Rinaldo |

Chronicles are here! Check to make sure everything looks good and post to let me know you have them.

Chronicle looks great. Thanks you for a fun game. Well run Rinaldo, and well played all.
See you on the boards.
