[PFS Gameday VIII] GM Roxxie's 5-08 The Confirmation (Inactive)

Game Master Roxxie613

To be fair we're in kind of a bad tactical situation, which makes things more stressful. I for one really underestimated our enemies and didn't have a good enough understanding of what our party's strengths and weaknesses were.

I am very sorry for my poor posting practices lately, I am utterly swamped with work right now. I'll try to sneak in a post today, but please bot me if I don't do so.

I've got a couple of flaming hands to drop on these suckers if I can get a good shot without harming a teammate

Yeah, getting these guys in a nice line in that corridor would help us end this quickly.

I want to apologize profusely y'all. Don't take pity on me, I just have flat ignored a lot of responsibilities after this moving nonsense. Let's finish this strong!

Urushi, you would definitely have cover because it's at least a hard hard corner. With that outcropping thats on the map I personally think you would even have cover in your current position.

Roxxie, would it make sense for us to see if we can find a replacement GM to wrap things up? It sounds like you have a lot on your plate right now and there would be no shame in setting this to the side. I'm sure we could find someone who would be happy to finish up the last half of this scenario.

I will post in the lodge to find a replacement GM. I appreciate all of your patience with me, and I apologize for ducking out midway.

Hello, all! I've come in to finish off the game. I'll move to the next round of combat shortly.

Thank you, Crunch!

My plan is to blast these guys with my wand until they're dead or one of them gets up. If I back up we could spend 7 or 8 turns watching them flail in the grease ;) if you want me to pull back I will though.

It's fine. It just leads most of us to sitting around until they go down. I'll just go into indefinite delay. Maybe just PM me when the next encounter starts.

I'll try to speed it along, making all the rolls until the undead break through the grease or die. Will start off using the charges on Janira's wand. It could finish the combat or bring it to a point at which something has crossed the grease.

I'm really sorry guys. Lots of stuff going on in my life right now and I'm having trouble keeping up with it all. Will really try to post a bit more.

Not my intention Viperia I just thought it might be preferable to all of us standing around and doing nothing while we watch undead on ice. I'll withdraw and leave the rest of the fight to you.

Aargh!

I need to make a mea culpa.

I have two low-level ranged characters at the moment and I keep mixing them up.

In the other game we were offered special ammunition and I took crossbow bolts even though the character uses a longbow!

In this game, my character used a wand that is on the ranger spell-list, but he isn’t a ranger!

I don’t think this changed the result of combat.

GM, can we just say that another PC did that healing and I’ll try not to be such an idiot again? Sorry.

Not to worry, it happens. I got the special crossbow just for you, even!

I'm not sure we have anyone that can cast cure light wounds.

I'm seeing gunslinger, brawler, wizard, mesmerist.

Yaerstenn is an oracle. It's definitely on his spell list.

Sorry Ruzz, I'm a little cranky at how long this fight has been taking and that it seems like we've mostly been getting in each other's way during this fight. In hindsight, it would have made sense to start the fight just letting the brainless undead come to us so we could focus fire, getting flanking bonuses, and etc.

I have an okay UMD, but unfortunately, I can't use my wand anymore today because of that 1 I rolled. I'm fine with Yaerstenn using my wand and then I could still use the partially charged one in Janira's pack. That would give us two people that would have access to healing if we needed it in a pinch.

Let's not forget about the items in that bag! Ruzz would benefit the most from that scroll of mage armor, but if he doesn't want it someone else might as well us it. Six hours will probably last the rest of the scenario. The potion of barkskin will last 30 minutes, so that could last one or two fights and that potion of feather step would probably be a nice thing for Urushi to have in case we run into difficult terrain. I want at least one alchemist fire, but I'd be willing to take both and the acid flask if we need it.

Not sure why Ruzz wouldn't want that pearl of power, considering that he is the only prepared caster here and he used up grease and burning hands...Interestingly he is also the only one who would be able to identify it. Neither Vipera nor Yaersten have Spellcraft as a skill.

Guys, I am terribly sorry to have disappeared so.
Lots of pretty important stuff went down in my life in the last few weeks, and as much as I'd like to continue this game, I feel like I'm really not in a good mindset to do so and I'd really hate to drag this game down. I'd really like to promise I'll be more active, but I'm having trouble motivating myself to do anything those days...

Not to worry; as always, real life takes precedence. If you need time for other things, or would just rather step down, don't hesitate to do so. Here's hoping you can return to the boards when you can and wish to.

I've already made the decision to leave it behind for fear of a curse so I feel like it would be appropriate for me to take it at this point as we've moved on. Ruzz doesn't trust some magical items found in a cursed cave full of undead and corpses.

I think we'll be skipping the optional encounter, as it's been quite some time. If anyone would really like to do it, please sound off and we can discuss further.

Also, remember you have Janira's two CLW potions for healing. With Yaerstenn out, options are limited, but these should tide you over for now.

I have a wand if anyone has UMD. I also have 2 potions of my own.

Hold up everyone. I've asked the GM some questions about the encounter via PM. Also, I'm not sure how Ruzz with a 20 foot move can go as far as he did. That looked to be at least 70 feet of movement.

Running is movement ×4, but it needs to be in a straight line and can't be over difficult terrain. I've run this enough to know there is difficult terrain on the map and that the log requires Acrobatics to cross, but I also know that a lot of GMs prefer to hand wave terrain.

I wove the undergrowth difficult terrain, but not any from the water or log.

I've used two full rounds to run if I couldn't have made it this far please let me know how many squares I need to move back. If you need to roll acrobatics or whatever I can. I double checked for any references to the log or ground but there were none. Just lemme knew what you want me to do and I'll do it. :)

I think for the sake of simplicity, I'll keep Ruzz on the left on the bridge. The minotaur would have instead thrown a javelin and missed. To cross the bridge, make a DC 7 Acrobatics check at half speed. The river will take a DC 15 Swim check at half speed.

I want to wait and see the result of the color spray before I take my turn.

I forgot we're still kind of in the holiday period, what with New Year's. But even so, things are just about wrapped up. I'll have the game reported and Chronicled shortly!

I believe Roxxie already reported it

Ah, that's one thing out of the way. Thanks!

If the game has been reported, does anyone have it in their sessions list? It'd be better on the Chronicles to have the same event code and date.

I'll give it a day or two if anyone has those, otherwise I can put in a placeholder for each that refers back to this thread. If Roxxie can return at some point, that can be explained or resolved.

Yeah, I have the same stuff as Urushi (except for Cynan, of course).

Oh yeah, I forgot this was for Gameday! Chronicles are here.

Please do tell if something is wrong with them. Thanks for sticking with the game, and sorry it took so long.

Thank you for picking up the mantel and completing the scenario for us!

Thank you so much for helping us finishing this out! Good luck in your future endeavors!

That's brilliant, Crunch. Thank you!

Oh yeah, I recently learned something for hiding campaigns from your view. Figured I'd share as I can't close it manually. Go to the Online Campaigns link at the top of this page, and hit Focus. That should get it nearly narrowed down to the campaigns you've posted in. Find this one, and clicking the ∅ should hide it.

I have asked the mods to close the game. That should be simpler, even if it takes a bit of time.
