[Gameday VIII] GM Eclipse: The Hao Jin Cataclysm (Inactive)

Game Master Agent Eclipse

Hello everyone, welcome to my table for The Hao Jin Cataclym.

My table is Core 3-4 so please choose you character accordingly then post your details below.

Player Name:
Character Name:
PFS#:

Player Name: Pete H.
Character Name: Kaya Leafwing
PFS#: 123584-6
Faction: Grand Lodge
Day Job and Roll: Craft: Jewelry + MW Tools: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 7 + 2 = 22
Fast/Slow Progression: Fast

There will also be a slide where I would like you to fill in information like Perception/Initiative. Will do!

If there is anything else I should know about your character go ahead and let me know here as well.

Kaya has Forewarned, a wizard school ability that guarantees her the ability to act in a surprise round, even if she does not notice the threat.

I play it that she has a 'spider-sense' that she is well accustomed to knowing that it means 'danger imminent'. Her reaction when said sense is triggered is to activate Diviner's Fortune on herself. It isn't a massive buff, but will give her a +2 on saves and any skill checks (usually knowledge to ID things) made during the surprise round.

Player Name: Dystopiandream
Character Name: Kranzer Kraken-Mouth
PFS#: 234492-2
Faction: Grand Lodge
Day Job and Roll: Profession (Gambler): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Only thing to keep in mind with Kranzer is his Dwarven stonecunning, the free check within 10 ft.

Just wanted to check in with the players. Still here and waiting on scenario support as it doesn't come in for awhile.

I will have some basic slides up and whatnot within the next few days now that my visiting family will be leaving from their vacation.

Good deal! Kaya is looking forward to the special.

Still here. Looking forward to the special as well.

I am still here too! Just wanted to let the team know that Yabatha will be leveling up to level 4 this week, I will update her soon!

Still here to and ready when needed :)

So everyone gameday has been postponed due to slower than usual scenario drops. The message is below if you have not seen it.

Hey Everyone,

I have some unfortunate news. I regret to inform you all that we will have to postpone Gameday VIII by 2 weeks.

This would place our new dates for Gameday at: 09 Sept 2019 - 17 Nov 2019

WHAT IS GOING ON? WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

As most of you are aware, the majority of the GM’s have not received their scenario support for the Convention to include a good portion of the Specials. With Tonya occupied by other duties this weekend, we realized as a team that we are very unlikely to see the remainder of scenario support drop by Monday the 26th. Multiple avenues were discussed and what seems to be the best solution is to push Gameday back by two weeks. This will allow enough time for the GM’s to receive their scenarios and prep them.

BUT WHAT IF WE ALREADY HAVE OUR SCENARIOS, CAN WE START THEM?

Please hold off until the new start date to be able to eligible for your boon rewards. I understand this is a large inconvenience, we are doing everything we can to make this work. Part of that is to have everyone one the same start / end times rather than scattered.

We apologize for the inconvenience that this may cause, but we want all our GMs to have a chance to shine.

HOW DO I NOTIFY MY PLAYERS?

Go ahead and post the news to your tables. Feel free to copy this email if you wish. We will be posting notices in all the PBP lodges as well as the Gameday VIII Announcement page.

I know this is not what we hoped to do, and I’m sorry. Thank you for understanding that we’re scrambling to fix this.

If you have any other questions please don’t be afraid to ask.

-Tyranius

If this is going to cause any issues for you please let me know.

No with that unfortunate news out of the way I do have one request for information that will let me personalize and improve the scenario once it starts.

Please let me know which scenarios you have played involving the Hao-Jin Tapestry. You can post them below, spoiler them below, or however you want to inform me. If you aren't sure which scenarios we are looking for a list is spoilerd below.

None of them!

None with this character!

None with Kranzer.

None of them for any of my characters.

That's alright, thanks for letting us know! Yabatha has not played any of those games.

The game has finally commenced. We are down one person atm but the group looks plenty capable. The first section is a time crunch in PbP but it has been formatted to make it a bit easier on us.

Feel free to continue introductions as you decide how to prepare and roll as a group.

Glad to have you all at my table and this should be fun!

I have all the relevant skills to help or lead in each section.

#1 +7 Disable Device, +11 Perception
#2 +8 Bluff (+2 vs human)
#3 +3 Know. local +5, Know. planes
#4 +5 Know.planes +11 Perception ,+2 Sense Motive or +8 Spellcraft
#5 +6 Craft (Alchemy)
#6 +6 Know. geography or nature, +9 Survival

I will do my touch ups this afternoon after work. Apologies for being so unorganized.

Travail has been out of adventuring for quite some time, but would welcome the opportunity to be the final Pathfinder to tackle the tapestry. If you choose to accept, he shall step out of the shadows, and get his affairs in order. He has not participated in any of the listed scenarios.

Yes, please join in! We would love to have you.

That will fill us up as long as everyone responds.

Thank you. I haven't played in a while. I'll shake off the rust and post details shortly.

Player Name: lekolas
Character Name: Travail
Organized Play #: 278721
Character #: 2
Faction: Silver Crusade
XP speed (Normal or Slow): Normal
Day Job Role: Profession, Gambler: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

I would also like to upgrade Travail's mithral chain shirt to a +1 mithral chain shirt prior to the adventure (-1000 gp)

Sorry about the delay. Will have my post up within the hour.

No worries. I am in Japan so my posting times are usually a little weird.

***Aid Token #1***

Passing To: GM Eclipse

Boost: Share Knowledge Arcana (Hard)
Boosted By: Charlotte "of the Stage" Lucidum (Human Psychic 8)

Boost: Allied Offensive (+2d8)
Boosted By: Laara (Half Elf Rogue/Brawler)

Can someone explain the boost system? This is my first time seeing them. Also, the allied offensive one is going to be pretty awesome with two rogues in the party :)

Alright, so the Aid Tokens get passed from table to table when used or boosted (or just not needed). They will go to tables that need help first or just rotate around.

Since we are out of a situation we should boost or pass. The options for boosting are on the slides. We should try to boost something not boosted so feel free to attempt one of those and I will send it on.

I vote for trying to boost a K: Religion check. Yabatha has the best modifier for that, but I'll have Kaya roll hers if she doesn't wish to do so.

@GM: If I'm reading this right, both the Allied Offensive and Share Knowledge tokens came to us already boosted. We should use them in this next mission. The Coordinated Maneuvers token, however, is new and unboosted. I don't think our party has much use for it, since we don't have any grappling monks. So does it make sense to boost that one, and pass it on?

If so, I can role play a CMB check with Kranzer involving sundering a club, and then we can move on.

Sorry, my first time being on this side of the Token but yes those portions were already boosted so we couldn't boost those but you only get one action when you have the token whether that be use a boost, pass it, or boost it.

Yabatha boosted it and I sent it along. If we want another one I can post and one should get passed back to us soon.

Got it. It looks like Kranzer just boosted the Manueverability one.

Hey everyone, I'm traveling for work next week so my posting might be a little slow. Will try to check in at least once a day. If I'm taking too long, GM, you can use the Bot Me file in my profile.

No worries. Thank you for the heads up.

At the office so I can't get the story post up but y'all can decide on your next mission. That way I can do both posts when I get a break.

Wherever is fine by Kaya. Anyone have close ties to any of the locations on the slides?

If I was role playing Travail I might choose #3--for a rogue, Travail can be kind of pious, and rooting out corruption would seem like his bag.

No preference for Hudor. #3 is fine with me.

same here

I will vote same with the party, then!

To all my games! I apologise in advance, but I have an extremely busy October coming up.
10th-14th October - PAX, where I will be attending as a GM for our local community.
23rd-29th October - I will be in Fiji for a friend's wedding, and will have very limited time to post/keep up with games.
I will do my best to keep up with games during those periods, but yes. Thanks for understanding!

Anyone know the mechanics for getting rid of this negative level in PFS? I think I have to spend 2 PP, but their might be another way.

Also, kind of dumb that the special boost allows you to cast lesser restoration as a fourth-level caster, but doesn't unlock restoration for anyone who got tagged by the wight. Oh well :)

It's 1 PP or 380gp

@GM: Is that your understanding as well?

Also, since we have the Supply Check preparation benefit, I think I can do this between missions. Travail will spend the 1PP or 2PP for spell casting services to remove the negative level. If that's not correct let me know.

***Aid Token #8***

Passing To: GM Eclipse

Boost: NA
Boosted By: NA

I think we should use this aid token to heal in addition to the muckmouth one we burned, Hudor needs every bit of HP he can get.

***Aid Token #3***

Passing To: GM Eclipse

Boost: Timely inspiration
Boosted By: Keriassa

Boost: Coordinated Maneuvers
Boosted By: Laara, Brawler/Rogue of the Liberties Edge

Aid tokens galore.

Use them!

My deepest apologies to my players and my backup for my abrupt absence. Typhoon Hagibis had different plans for my last week. Personally I am alright with no losses or damage but have been busy helping with recovery and away from my computer posting on mobile when able to.

I am back and able to take back over but I will wait to hear from nightdeath before officially jumping back in.

Thank you all for your understanding and your timely help to keep my table going. Looks like it has been exciting thus far.
