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

Game Master Luke_Parry

I think that normally PbP does take a lot longer, but this is an excellent group with an excellent GM. Bair is up for pushing onto 1-05. Gotta crack some more skulls with his new gloves!

Dran'Thor will go for 1-05 ! Thank you

Sure, why not :)

Desharcerla let me know they are up for continuing, but won't be back to the land of decent cell signals until next week, if you wish to let them continue along with us.

Sure, I'm up for another one.

@Thorax: Well, this table works well together, and you all usually post regularly - the other table that I started for the PbP Gameday is still in their first scenario - heck, they haven't even arrived at the first combat!

Regarding Starfinder, I believe Thursty has indicated that there is no plan, at this stage, to ever introduce 'Slow Play' to Starfinder...

---------

Chronicles have now been PM'ed out, so I will start the next scenario :-)

PLAYER: Ever_Anon
CHARACTER: Mara Spintho
PFS ID#: 2364939-2001
STARTING XP: 14
STARTING FAME: 14
STARTING GP: 54gp, 7sp, 6cp

BOONS:
Faction: Envoy's Alliance Champion
Advanced: Touched by the Storm
Generic: Society Connections
Generic: Sand Slide
Generic: Team Player

I will use the 'Society Connections' boon to attempt an earn income task of level 3.

Library Lore (DC18): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

That's a fail, but not a critical fail, so I earn 64cp.

What Mara is buying:

Bandolier: 1sp
Clothing (Winter): 4sp L
Healer's Tools: 5gp 1
Repair Kit: 2gp 1
Tent (Pup): 8sp L
Writing Set: 1gp L
Everburning torch: 15gp L

Total cost: 24gp, 7sp

She's getting rid of her regular torches. They're only 1cp each, so I'm not sure she can sell them.

I'm using Naturalist to begin to craft Black adder Venom (batch of 4). I need 2 days for the roll and I can use Nature. I pay 3 gp for the raw materials.

Nature: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22 DC 16

So it's done. But I will continue on the next downtime to avoid to pay (3 sp per day, that means that I finish after 5 days then. I will still have two days in the next downtime).

Purchased the Horizon Hunters Champion Boon for this scenario. Going Slow Track.

PLAYER: Nefreet
CHARACTER: Thorax Toothlicker
PFS ID#: 66548-2001
STARTING XP: 42
STARTING FAME: 26
STARTING GP: 129gp, 9sp, 8cp
BOONS:

PLAYER: Pete H.
CHARACTER: Bair Mann
PFS ID#: 123584-2001
STARTING XP: 9
STARTING FAME: 9

Items Purchased: Lesser Acid Flask (3g)
STARTING GP after that purchase: 10 copper 11 silver 27 gold 0 platinum

BOONS:

Euh we did get only 2 days of downtime this time because it was a quest, or did we get 8 days as usual?

PLAYER: J.G.
CHARACTER: Dran'Thor
PFS ID#: 212081-2001
STARTING XP: 14
STARTING FAME: 12
STARTING GP: 20gp, 7sp, 0cp
BOONS:
Faction - Verdant Wheel
Downtime - Naturalist
General - Touched by the Storm
Untyped - Sand Slide
Slotless - Engraved Wayfinder
Slotless - One-Who-Waits

The practice seems to have been to roll for the next downtime, the downtime that comes after the session we are starting. Or at least that's what I've been doing when I do my character info stuff.

Oh, ok. No problem. But that everybody knows I does the rolls and so on when there is downtime.

PLAYER: The Sesquipedalian Thaumaturge
CHARACTER: Adalan Mussara
PFS ID#: 270872-2001
STARTING XP: 10
STARTING FAME: 8
STARTING GP: 36.90

BOONS:
Faction: Vigilant Seal Champion
Advanced: Wayfinder
Generic: Sand Slide
Generic: Touched by the Storm
Generic: Society Connections
Slotless: Engraved Wayfinder
Slotless: One-Who-Waits

Using Society Connections to try a level 3 earn income task.

Academia Lore (DC 18): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Note: For some reason, this scenario has *not* used the 'Challenge Point' system for calculating tiers, so this will be run as a low-tier table, with the six player adjustment.

Consequently, no-one needs to apply any level bumps.

In other news, the quest we just finished was my 10th PF2 game completed :-)

Congratulations!

I haven't GMed any PFS2 yet, but after Thorax levels out of 1-4 games I might alternate between GMing and playing to pass the time.

Awesome to all of those things!!!

(I can't find how much that saves me right now, but I'll look again later tonight)

I think I found it:

For each additional day you spend, reduce the value of the materials you need to expend to complete the item. This amount is determined using Table 4–2: Income Earned (page 236), based on your proficiency rank in Crafting and using your own level instead of a task level.

At Level 4 it looks like I reduce the cost by 7sp per day. However, since I'm going Slow Track for this Chronicle, I get half as many days. With 2 days going towards prep, I only save 1.4gp at this point.

(typing this for myself more than anything, so I can reference later)

How does temp HP interact with persistent damage like bleed? For example, Bair failed his save so he would take 1 bleed damage at the end of his turn. During his turn he raged, gaining 3 temp HP. Would the bleed reduce his temp HP or his total HP?

BOONS:

For the record....not first time I've had a character swallowed...but first time in society play! Lol

DC 10 + dying status (1) - 1 due to toughness feat
Still unconscious at 0 hp and gain wounded 1 condition, right?

Correct.

Also, when the box text said that he wanted Gnome, and the party was kind enough to bring him one... it made sense that he would go for the prize ;-)

We really are insensitive for imposing our cultural norms on them.

Alright then! I'll have chronicle sheets sent out when I get home from work.

Is everyone happy to continue with the scenarios that have just been released?

Awesome and absolutely. Level 2 here I come!!!

Yeah! Dran'Thor will continue. This staff seems to be of some interest for me. But not cheap. I will need to correct my character sheet for the next one. I will have crafted 4 batches of poison (I pay the remaining 6 sp).

I'm all for pressing forward.

YAY for level 2! And...where's that CRB....how does one level again.... ;-)

Like this.

Reminder that Thorax is now going half speed!

Happy to play the next ^_^

Really looking forward to whatever scenario was announced with a Goblin King. Thorax will want that crown!

Heh. Yes, I thought Thorax might be interested in that one ;-)

I'm flying out tomorrow for a mini-vacation and returning Monday.

I'll have my phone on me, but won't have many opportunities to sit down and use it.

I won't have time to level up Adalan until tomorrow, but I look forward to pressing onwards as soon as that's done.

No worries!

Chronicle have been sent out :-)

Thank you again and again and again!

By the way, I should remember you that I've the Storm born feat. So don't suffer from weather penalties.

It's a tough fight. But we trying to destroy them with weapons. I think it's better to act with magical damage. But I'm in contact, as Adalan.

What do you think?

Spell damage is still resisted by Hardness, unfortunately...

"Good ol' Rock. Nuthin' beats rock."

For clarity,didn't we already use the wand today? So we would have to overcharge it to use it again with a DC 10 flat check, right?

My only hesitation in channeling myself is we are finally making headway with these things...I dont really want to heal them as well. Lol

No, the wand wasn't actually used.

Re: Channeling, although he hasn't explicitly said it, Adalan ID'ed these things as being some kind of construct, which means that they aren't living, and therefore can't be healed by Heal...
