Where is it that I need to go to convince Janira to come with me?
Do we have a secluded place for me to convince her to follow me to, or a path I can lead her along where we can grab her on the way?
We’re all supposed to meet at the statue of Durvin Gest as the second location for this phase. We’ll figure out the dark alley from there.
I think the current plan is lead Janira to Southgrove after the Statue, but you have an extra site visit if you want to look around for a better option.
322, if you didn't notice it I called for a won't-count-as-a-plot Sense Motive check from you at the Wall of Names. Joliryn is there too, but she lacks knowledge of something that would make the check relevant.
Didn’t see it, but will do so now.
Knight of Rust has let me know privately that they need to drop for non-game related reasons. Do we want to get a new Zurnzal or just keep going?
Same here.
It seems so. If someone else can get them Zurnzal's character sheet, that would be helpful. I won't be able to for a while. I don't have the files at work.
If not, it will be soon enough.
Zurnzal has their mission briefing now and should be up to speed shortly.
Thanks everyone, I now have the character sheet and briefing. I'm going to finish work in about 4 hours, read through the gameplay so far, make a Zurnzal alias, and then put up a first post (sticking as close to the established personality for the character as possible).
Ok, I've posted as Zurnzal. Hopefully it's alright--it's a complicated gameplay thread what with the phases, spoiler posts, and individual missions.
I'm pretty busy today and tomorrow. I'll try to keep up but may not have time to post until Friday.
Just checking back in.
GM - I expect to make stealth checks for 322’s movement, but can she also provide assistance with the Janira disguise with an Aid Another check? Would there be additional bonuses for taking & wearing some of Janira’s outer garments, and/or borrowing Shohirajj’s disguise kit? Could multiple people aid?
Of course, if Rataji has spells that would help, my questions might be moot.
Multiple people can aid on the disguise check for Janira. You can use the disguise kit if Shohiraj is fine with it, but no additional bonuses for using Janira's clothes since the kit already gives you a bonus for good props.
Let me know if you are assisting on the Janira disguise, but I'll be rolling the assists and the main check.
Rataji also asked a question in the gameplay thread & he can do what he was asking. I will note that disguising as a specific person gives observers an automatic opposed check instead of a take-10 and a bonus on their Perception, however. The specific person in question won't be fooled, of course.
I don’t know what kind of resources the other characters have, but I’m happy to have 322 help with healing. Just ask in the gameplay thread - she’s unlikely to think to offer otherwise.
How did the chameleon bite me? It shouldn't have gotten an AOO; I didn't think I'd taken any actions that would have provoked one.
Not trying to be argumentative, just a bit confused.
I'm at a loss to imagine why you wouldn't provoke. The chameleon has 10' reach with their bite (more with tongue) and I assumed that you moved through the square 322 was in into the square where you attacked. You don't gain cover from characters when you share a square. It looks straightforward to me.
Was there something you want understood differently?
You're right, that is straightforward and my bad. I somehow completely missed that their bite attack also had reach. (I do still think it's weird that they can grapple someone with their tongue and bite someone else at the same time, but that's just monster abilities for you.)
Thanks for the explanation!
No problem! I'm more bothered by my avatar not showing on my phone today. QQ for Treerazer.
I've personally found the best way around that limitation is the feat Spellsong. Some funky wording, but it lets you concentrate with Performance instead of... uh, actual concentration, I guess?
But even with the concentration, taking one opponent out of the fight is a huge help. And you're "conserving" spell slots for later encounters, which is probably a good thing.
Calm Emotions generally only needs to be held for 1-2 rounds to be worth it anyway. My worst cast of that was when I got all of the bad guys. It's a tricky spell, but very good and actually slightly better if the DC isn't really super high. You want some of the bad guys to succeed and some of them to fail.
My funniest Calm Emotions was when a barbarian succeeded on his save against it, but his mount failed. The GM could have interpreted the spell differently, but he had the mount just stay at charge distance while the barbarian was kicking it to move.

I'll be at a convention this weekend, so not generally around Fri/Sat/Sun. I will try to post, but from my phone is often problematic.
Any idea what the policy is for pregen scenarios like this and applying credit? I intended to apply this chronicle to a character I am playing this weekend. If that's not possible, I have another character I can apply to, just wanted to check first.
My understanding is that the character you are applying credit to from this game is locked. I'll double check that with my local Venture Captain though.
Hey, everybody - just wanted to let you know I’m going to be a little tied up the next few days. It’s my 50th birthday tomorrow and then on Monday and Tuesday I'll be on a short business trip. I should still be able to check in at least once each day, but if the time when I can check doesn’t match up with my next turn in initiative, I may not be able to post until the next day.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
Thanks!
@GM, 322 will hold off on any casting while we’re being stealthy.

I probably shouldn't say how much is left. People have been doing well with daily posts, though, and if we can keep that up I'd expect to be done before Gameday hits.
@GM, in light of the discussion about characters being locked when playing a pregen, I went back over my earlier posts and doesn’t look like I ever said which character I will apply this chronicle to. Please apply my chronicle to 199504-5. Thanks.
Does this post help clarify things regarding “locked” characters?
I ran out of time to post this morning. Look for something tonight, hopefully in the early evening (time zone dependent I guess).
All my saved links to campaign threads are working, but the one I have to Recruitment (or another other attempt I make to get there) fails. It's not just you.
Quick question: Does my 'new' sword have any special properties? I'm assuming it's at least a +1, otherwise there'd be no reason to swap.
I thought I had said so at one point, but I don't see it now. It is a +2 Vicious weapon.
Awesome!
Heads up - I will be at a convention Friday through Sunday. As the sun doesn’t set up here in the summer, neither do the games stop. I will post when possible, but at a slower rate than usual. Please don’t hesitate to bot me after 24 hours if I haven’t posted.
I have no interest in swapping characters at this point, so someone else can have the dragon.
