GM Erich's Murder on the Throaty Mermaid (Inactive)

Game Master Thereus, Silver Crusader

Here is the Discussion Thread.

Have we started in earnest yet? I am running a game tonight and i'd like to apply the credit to Conig if possible.

No, we are still in the "mustering" phase. Waiting on the last player to chime in.

ok great, thanks.

updated. thanks for your patience.

Had to drop Waykand Day. Asking Grimdog73 to join next, but we will go ahead and get started.

@Grimdog73 Can I get a PFS number and faction for your new character. Thx

GM - can I add a slide in the maps document for notes?

Great idea, I added one just after the character portraits. Feel free to populate as you wish.

Sooo... for other Dark Archive members... do you have any idea which crew member is Zarta talking about?

I think you might be the only Dark Archive, William. Zarta is of course speaking of the ship's "companion", Azuretta.

Just so you all know, I will be traveling from today until Friday. I will try and keep posting, and I will have cell service, but I won't have much time to do so.

Before Azora moves on with the others, I will make sure to search the area for the 'recipe book'. (Just a reminder that I rolled a 21 before).

Hello, everyone, this is a quick note that I’ll be travelling over the weekend into the middle of next week. I should be able to check in more or less as usual, but there might be a delay or two depending on when and where I might be caught beyond cell networks.

@Nino I wouldn't say you are stuck, but there are a list of passengers and crew on the vessel. Some may even require a second questioning. Some though are red herrings. Apart from tying up your individual faction missions, figuring out the true killer is part of the success conditions.

Assuming we keep up the mostly daily pace of posting, we should finish well before the Gameday in late August.

@Nino I think it's just the linear nature of the interviews. Some of the characters are just a bit more invested in talking to certain individuals. In a face to face game it would be paced a little quicker. By my count you have talked to Anera, Shira, Killik, Thanzeril, Snig and now Ulamon. That just leaves Mallick, Azuretta, and Velagon plus any quick follow up questioning you might want to do. The secondary successes are nearly complete as well, with just the Dark Archive's remaining. If I had to guess, we have (at most) three weeks left before we are done.

It probably didn't help that I steered everyone to Ulamon and then popped in and out erratically over the weekend, so I'm sorry for that, Nino.

No problem, but I just need that character for Gameday VIII

As you may have guessed, we are rapidly nearing the end of the scenario. Go ahead and roll your Day Job checks here and make sure I have an email to send your chronicle to (either list here or send me a PM). If you are going slow progression, let me know.

Also, I have a bit of a surprise. I have race boons that I'm not going to use with the transition to PF2. I'm giving them away in some of my PbP and F2F games. Since this was a unique scenario that may or may not have struck your fancy, I'd like to reward the group's dedication to finish.

So I would like each of you to PM me the character name of one of the other players at this table (not yourself) that you most enjoyed reading and interacting with. Be it role-play, character concept, or exciting action in combat, whatever criteria you want to use.

I will tally up the votes and break a tie if I need to and get in contact with the "winner" to grant you a race boon for a future character you may want to create.

If you are absolutely sure you are not going to use a race boon for 1st edition (I'm sure there will still be plenty of games, especially on PbP) let me know that in your PM as well.

Craft Alchemy: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

For day job.

no day job

Perform (Dance): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

Any other day jobs?

Also need an email from Karlos, Conig and Azora.

Perform(sing): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

No day job roll for Willow, as both a member of the chattering classes and a starving student struggling to keep up with her readings. Or, more meta-narratively prosaically, without points in suitable skills yet.

All chronicles have now been sent. Let me know if there are issues. Congrats to Tasarë "Willow" Solaera for the team's unanimous vote for the race boon.

I will leave the game up for a few more days then mark it as complete. Thanks again everyone for playing and making it an enjoyable scenario from this side of the screen.

Happy adventuring!

Excellent running of a challenging scenario, GM Erich. Would be very happy to play at your tables in the future.

Oh, wow! *Blushes.* You all are too kind!

Thanks, everyone! I had a lovely time sharing a game with you, and would gladly do so again. Thanks for hosting us so generously, Erich.

Happy gaming, all, and may your crit chances defy probability to your advantage! :)

Thank you for a fun game GM Erich. Chronicle looks good.

Well played all. Hope to see you all on the boards.

Thank you guys for a great game.
