[Gameday VIII] Hao Jin Cataclysm - GM Thread (Inactive)

Game Master Dennis Muldoon

will keep an eye out as well... except this Sat/Sun.

Paizo.com was acting up today and several of my players were unable to act for hours.

GM Dennis please find replacement GM for me for next few days... personal emergency. thank you

@PDK: On it. Let me know when you're back.

I'll go catch up on your game and jump in shortly, PDK.

Since I'm at that table, I can't fill in. =)

Thankfully, I still have power so should be good.

Thank you for jumping on that, GM Fazzfoot.

@GM PDK, I hope all goes well for you.

Have we ended undead, arent we?

Yes, sorry. I ran out of time yesterday to get all the games updated. I will do so a little later this morning.

You should all have two messages from me, one announcing the Undead Contained condition, one announcing the Tapestry's Last Defense condition. Please move directly to the phoenix encounter, as we no start a strict 40 minute (7 days for our purposes) timer, and the number of phoenix successes you get impacts chronicle sheet rewards for your players.

How many successes do we need? I can't find it anywhere.

I think it's one per table for the boon. It's in the scenario reporting notes, if I'm not mistaken.

EDIT: Nope, last sentence in Conclusion.

I'm not too worried, since ACG can contribute to the total as well.

First success reported. Edit: Okay, spoke to soon. Will update you when they make the repair check, I don't expect it to be difficult.

You still got in first, beating the first ACG success (though it was a near thing).

I want to confirm a moment how the the actions with the Ruby Feather works.

Haven't seen my backup (nightdeath) check into my thread yet. Would someone else be able to take it up?

Hm. I just posted to get them prepping while we figure it out.

Thanks!

Hate to ask this but can someone pickup my table for this last part. I am dealing with some issues from this last typhoon in Tokyo. Getting access to a computer atm is difficult. I'll be back online in a day or two hopefully.

My apologies, I work on weekends.

I'm in action.

Hopefully, one of the others is available. If not, then I will try to cover for you but I am not sure how wise it is to take a second table in the same game.

I just posted to get them doing their two rounds of prep. I'll take care of it myself until one of the other backups can step in.

I'll handle this until you get back.

GM Cwethan should be back soon if he's not I have no problems covering for both of you since it's the same scenario. :)

Great, thanks nightdeath!

I'm back! thanks for GM Fuzzfoot for the assist!

Ok, one of my PCs (Sparky Fantastico) was briefly returned to the lodge. As he doesn't want to waste an action, he's using his wand of Haste (cl5) on himself before being returned.

If the Head GM allows and there are other pathfinders there that are going back as well, he would like to include up to 4 of them in the haste, so they would arrive back in the Tapestry with 4 rounds of haste left.

Hah! I have a player returning to the demiplane, but they already have haste up. Still, the heroic Zan'Kul will give Sparky a nod before going back.

Also, I thoroughly enjoyed making the player grovel to return :)

Aram Zey's going to get an interesting surprise if our Enlarged Amiri gets banished

I have a player who just popped in. Shall I let her know she's getting hasted?

Several folks are starting the phoenix encounter with the phoenix up in the air above ground (with varying heights). Is this spelled out in the module?

Since the flock is swarming over the many Pathfinder teams, I'm varying placement of the birds given there are no starting positions on the map. They're smart enough for advanced tactics, so I'm also having them react to character abilities they can see.

@Auke + @James, that's fine, but let's leave it at those two. The chances of five Pathfinders being banished at once are pretty slim.

As for phoenix placement, I think that's reasonable TOZ. There is no direction in the scenario, so each of you should use your own judgement for your table (remembering that your goal is to make a fun, challenging encounter, not to 'win').

Well, I've ejected one character and disarmed one of the archers. I think that's about all the winning I will manage. :)

Yeah, I got my table scared a bit, but they got their bird. Just waiting for the buffs for round 2

Just a gentle reminder to make sure you report your successes. If you're not sure if it went through, check the 'Form Responses 1' tab on the google sheet.

I have a Phoenix Token that my table failed the Repair check on, and I'd like to pass that on to another table for Empowering. Do I post that in Recruitment like the Aid Tokens?

That is what I did with my tables empowered feather.

We are near the end now and I wanted to check in about the Aid Tokens because I think a few got eaten by the Forum Beast when some post failed to go through over the last few weeks. This might not change anything but any little bit might help groups in this last leg!

Here are the list who I understand is currently in possession of an Aid Token (with some having gotten it just recently).

GM Brew (x2 Aid Tokens)
Our Mysterious Benefactor
Grandmaster TOZ
EbonFist
GM JChapman
Woodenman
Greenclaw

If someone is in dire need of a token I believe my table can pass theirs on.

Same here.

Just passed mine to Ethelnir, who I think needed one.

Happy to pass. Who needs it?

While my table is not doing poorly, they are running low on fast healing and probably would enjoy the aid token.

Send it here if you have no takers! :)

Aid token away!

I have an empowered feather token. Any takers?

Send our way if you like. We're tier 1-2, so a pretty attainable Average difficulty check. Are aids allowed on the Repair check?

I saw nothing preventing them.
