[PFS2_Luke_Parry] 2-06: The Crashing Wave (Inactive)

Game Master Luke_Parry

She also has been drastically outmatched in most of these scenarios, so that doesn't help.

When will everyone hit level 5 and be unable to play the tier 1-4 games?

Bair is now 8 XP away but I believe he is the lowest XP of the original group.

It will vary - basically, after the Quest, and another 1-4 scenario, half the party will level-out.

I've 45 xp now. That's why I asked our GM to play the question first. So I will reach 46 and would be still available to play the announced 1-15 concerning druids and Verdant Wheel faction with Dran'Thor.

Unfortunately I see now that the quest is unavailable. There is for now one scenario 1-4 and one 3-6 to play. So I think I will level up next game. And then I think I will play Dran'Thor's brother next in low levels.

The quest should 'drop' soon - because it isn't part of the subscription service, it is (presumably) manually 'made available', so there is usually a bit of a lag.

By the way, I continue to search for a Bonded animal after Flame of Rebellion: Nature, DC 20: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30

This time! In the end my tiger will come. Stats already in.

Mara is sitting at 45xp right now, so one more scenario will get her to level 5.

I really, really want to play an Iruxi. That would have ideally been my 2nd character, but sanctioning is taking forever.

He won't be social, but I think I'll RP him very similar to Dran'Thor ^_^

What? I’m not social perhaps ? I’m keeping people informed by channeling electricity to deliver the information.

And now he will have the company of a tiger after the leshy familiar.

But you should meet Dran’Thor’s brother... :)

The Tiger will be very welcome on the frontline.

If I have had it for the past game... :(

FYI, I am still waiting for the Quest to drop.

I will start ASAP, when it does.

Alright, apparently, there is a tech problem - Michael Sayre is trying to get it fixed.

Hopefully, that means it will be available soon :-)

Soon™

Level 2 Rebuild finalized. Hannah really has nothing "Monk"ish left, other than her name and her love of learning. Saw the Grand Archive Boon Off-Hours Study and thought it fit nicely with being an Emissary. Hopefully she's less naive about the world now ^_^

Signing in for whichever our next game ends up being:

PLAYER: Nefreet

STARTING XP: 14
STARTING FAME: 12
STARTING GP: 1 sp
BOONS:

Well the more I'm thinking about it the more I think I won't be able to play the 1-15 with Dran'Thor. The 1-12 is 1-4 tiers, the 1-13 is 3-6 tiers. Even if I play the 1-12 with another character I will play the 1-13 with Dran'Thor. So that's it. If the quest don't drop let's play the 1-12. I will play the 1-15 with Dran'Thor's brother.

Alright, the Quest has dropped, and after prepping it... it looks like it will be an *extremely* quick one!

I got us all on the map, including Dran'Thor's new tiger buddy. Since I didn't have a picture of the kitty I just googled one. :D

That's a tiger, that's ok for me :)

I just want to say, this monster in this quest is freaking awesome!

It's basically a wooden version of one of Robocop's enemies :-P

Sorry, I'm not feeling well and don't think I'll be able to get in a post today. Hopefully I'll be doing better tomorrow, but please bot me as necessary.

Wish you quick recovery.

What makes me really laugh while trying to parse through Bair's dialogue is imagining that he's just phonetically spelling his native New Jersey dialect ^_^'

That's... a pretty accurate description. :P

Assuming we got one fame on the last session Bair will have enough to purchase the services of a hireling (as has just been introduced in gameplay).

I'll wait till I have the chronicle from our quest to fill out the basic scenario starting stuff as I'm not sure about other purchases or final gold.

Question: That boon has the ally trait. I'm guessing it will require me to slot it as a boon to get the benefit since it doesn't say slotless?

Alright, links to chronicles have been PM'ed out :-)

@Bair: Correct; you do have to slot it.

Note to everyone: This next scenario is fairly roleplaying / skill heavy.

ACP Blog

Found it and am moving discussion over to... discussion. :D

I'm not exactly overwhelmed with the options. Probably just save up all my ACP to get a hobgoblin. Love those guys and gals!

Personally, I am a fan of the Pathfinder Agent Dedication, especially when combined with the human ancestry feat Clever Improviser, if you are wanting to be vaguely decent at 'Untrained' skills.

Re: ACP options, I am not exactly overwhelmed, either, but then again, I don't play PF2 PFS :-P

More soberly, they are introducing a new system - I expect the options to get more interesting as time progresses, and they shake the bugs out of it.

Oh I like Clever Improviser, and that can free up my 3rd level Feat for Toughness, like I was originally planning.

Really looking forward to playing Thorax in 1-16 ^_^

Dran’Thor will let little cat for dancing.

Oh yeah, that one will fit our group perfectly, lol!

Just ran Trailblazers' Bounty at DunDraCon for a party of Level 1s. Nobody had Nature or Survival trained. It was a painful slog, and quite the opposite experience to ours. They actually missed their Secondary Success Condition, even. It felt so weird to write down only 2 Fame/Reputation on the Chronicle. For three of the players, it was their first PFS2 session ever =(

So long that I say how important it is to have a druid in a party... :) and a dwarf as well of course.

Ouch. Yes, every time I have run it, most people have been trained in at least one of the relevant skills, which has meant that the scenario has progressed quite smoothly...

Ouch. If the DC is that high, can I retcon my post to stay behind? I don't like splitting the party, but less than a 50% chance to succeed and three checks means I'm going to need all the time I can get. Hopefully there aren't too many locked doors?

Remember you'll have to sleep too at some point. But... Adalan (ideally) or DC could give it an attempt while you do.
