Faction: Grand Lodge
Day Job Roll: Messenger: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Special Note Because Lakimami Did It:
Thyste’s AC and TAC is 1 higher against anything Medium or larger. Favored Enemy (human) is probably something I need to worry about more than you, but if you happen to roll Perception or Sense Motive behind the screen, I figured I’d let you know here first :P

Notes: Brady has the Aspis Profiteer faction reward from The Exchange season 9; if he plays in a scenario featuring the Aspis Consortium, I can ask my GM to initial a box that I can then use later at any time. How would you like for me to get my pdf to you to initial a box?

Hi team! Festival season is upon us; I am going to be camping in the woods without cell service from now through Sunday PM. Please bot me as necessary!

Next Wednesday and Thursday my posting will be sporadic, then I will be in a 'dead zone' until at least Sunday night 16JUN2019.

Bot as necessary during that time, please!

My figuring is, we let the less-sneaky members of the party get ambushed, then "come to their defense," and let the scepter into enemy hands before they retreat. Is that about consistent with what you guys are thinking?

That makes sense, but if I have the scepter like Lakimaki said, should I go out there to make us a better target? I could switch to my civilian identity if that would make us seem more vulnerable.

Sounds like a valid plan to me!

GM, I think me and Jaimie were going to keep a watch rotation as well, but were waiting for a response to this:

I want to try keeping watch/napping in the trees without being seen; is the area conductive to that?

Apologies. yes the area is secluded and good for not being seen. I figured you two were also keeping watch so I rolled your perception checks for both of you and you didn't hear the bandits coming through.

Excellent! ...I mean, not excellent that we missed them, but. Y'know.

...Should I roll a climb check, or can we safely assume that at some point I got up there successfully?

On the map you are in a small clearing to the north. Assume you reached there successfully.

Cough cough- You guys may want to reread the scenario opening mission. Not sure of your plan as of yet but your new camp buddies sure make it a bit more difficult.

If I'm not mistaken, we're supposed to put up A Bit Of A Fight and then let them get away with the scepter; is that accurate?

That would be accurate. :)

I'm not sure how to pretend to fight without actually fighting. Can I make an attack roll with an intentional demodifier?

In my case, it's easy: start targeting adjacent squares instead.

For those in melee (and this is up to GM discretion):
-It's possible to intentionally fail a check; presumably this would include attacks? But I'm not sure how obvious that would be. Maybe a Bluff check would suffice.
-Make a big deal out of any damage you've taken; fall prone, groan a lot.
-Leave a lane open for the bandits to run for the scepter, probably. (Who's got it? Madcap/Parkway?)

This is why Brady is targeting weapons with Sunder attacks instead of people, and doing nonlethal damage when he attacks the bandits. His thought in this combat is to protect the other merchants, since they (appear to be) innocent bystanders.

Sorry for the delay on the post, I was debating dropping the Mist, but the bandits don't have the McGuffin yet, so it'd be a bad idea until that happens.

Hi all! I had an extended weekend trip outside of cell service, and forgot to notify my games before I left. I'm back now, and will be checking in and posting in all of my games hopefully tonight but definitely by tomorrow (Wed). Thanks for any botting you've done, and sorry for my unexpected absence!

What's our plan here? Are we going to try to just sneak entirely by, or get up top and try to take down the guard on this side quietly? I think our goal is to get into the fort in the middle, correct?

I think it would be best to try and take out the guard as quietly as possible.

I've probably got the best Climb+Stealth combo, but I don't know if I can kill him from up there.

That said, we could have everyone with a ranged option fire at him at the same time. Might be the best way to go about it, honestly!

I like the idea of firing ranged weapons at the guard.

I'll move forward with that to keep us movin' ;)

Keep in mind that one of our potential goals is to recruit Zamir; obviously, some killing on the way in is going to be acceptable, but we probably don't want to slaughter all of his men if we want to keep that option open. Nonlethal damage might be a good strategy when practical.

It was a solid plan until we rolled, at least :’D

@GM, how difficult do the walls look to climb? What about climbing the rubble inside the breach to get up top?

DC 15 Climb check for rubble area and walls alike.

I just started a new job today. Until the training and acclimation settle down, my posting will be somewhat erratic, probably shifting from mornings to evenings (EDT) until I have a better feel for things.

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.

HOHHHH MY GOD

I completely forgot about my Favored Enemy bonus for humans.

First time playing a Ranger!

I will be heading out on vacation later this week; I'll be unavailable from Wed, 31 July through Mon, 5 Aug. Please bot me as necessary!

Theoretical possibility:
Step 1: Give him all our money. Make him our best friend, have him tell us everything he's ever known about anything.
Step 2: Murder the slave-beating son of a slime.
Step 3: Collect our refund.

Step 1 can of course be tempered as needed to minimize risk.

We should give him some of our gold and say that's all we have and try to go with Thyste step 1 idea. I my self can give 10 gold.

...It occurs to me that I have 4cp left, so I can't really invest in my own idea.

Sorry. Didn't see this before I posted. But I rolled high on my Diplomacy. Maybe that's enough.

I have over 200 gold, so I can add some.

If you wish to add some please do so in character and let me know how much.

We are at the end of the scenario, all that is left is a brief roleplay as you have passed your diplomacy checks (Barely) with Zamir.

If you have not already done so please make your day job rolls.

Profession (merchant), traveler's any-tool, shirt reroll: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 9 + 2 = 30 (Slush Fund faction reward guarantees a minimum of 25 gp on day job checks)

@GM, Brady has a faction reward that requires your initials on his journal card. How do you want to do this?

Thank you very much for running and for bearing with the extended delays/outages along the way!

I'm looking at this scenario and already considering running it myself.

Here are everyone's chronicles. please look them over for anything I may have goofed so i can correct it right away.

Chronicles

@Brady- Message the form to me and I'll see what I can do for you.

The game has been reported.

Looks good. Thanks!

Looks good! Thank you for running!
