[PFS] Your Assault on the Kingdom of the Impossible (Inactive)

Game Master Yours is mined

Now Rann, the Kite, brings home the night
That Mang, the Bat, sets free—
The herds are shut in byre and hut,
For loosed till dawn are we.

This is the hour of pride and power,
Talon and tush and claw.
Oh, hear the call!—Good hunting all
That keep the Jungle Law!

Night-Song in the Jungle

The hunt begins August 26 ...

Checking in, looking forward to it~

"And don't forget about me!"

Checking in. Still need to get the level up online, but I'll most certainly be ready by August 26th.

"I don't care what you say, that song was not written about you!"

*whimpers in dinosaur*

"Now that could make a fine sea shanty..." Sinaryn mentions before humming a bit then breaking into song with a surprisingly deep voice that ebbs and flows like a crashing tide.

She takes a swig from a flask and passes it to the others,.

And welcome All!

As more of us have checked in, I'll outline the ground rules shortly.

If you have played with GMs like GM Ladile, GM Michael Hallet or GM Hawthwile, I doubt there'll be any surprises ;)

In the meantime, here's our sister campaign: Assault on the Kingdom of the Highly Improbable.

Lol! I needed a good laugh this morning, thank you XD

I’ll post the ground rules now in case there are any questions.

☯ Please make it obvious what buffs you have active and what your AC is.
☯ Miss is always low if a miss chance applies. For example, if there is a 50% miss chance on a melee attack, a result of 1-50 on d100 is a miss.
☯ I generally prefer PCs to roll their own saving throws and Attacks of Opportunity (AoO). However …
☯ I like a relatively fast-paced scenario. I find when a game loses momentum, the fun is quickly sucked out of it.

As such, if you do not post an action within 24 hours from when I invite you to post, I reserve the right to take actions for your character.

☯ If at all possible, please let me know if something comes up that prevents you from posting.
☯ If I make a mistake on the current combat round, please let me know and I will try to make it right.
☯ I roll group initiative and track character actions.

Angritt and Palomia, I generally like to keep Pathfinder + Pet together in combat because I think it’s better for game-flow and easier on the player.

Palomia & Relas have the same initiative modifier, so if you’re OK with it, I’d prefer to make one roll for the both of you.

However, Angritt & Rath o vvv o have different initiative modifiers. Angritt, are you OK with Rath delaying to wait for a command from you before he acts? Or how has this been handled in other games you’ve played?

If the need arises, I will roll separate passive perception checks for both Pathfinder + Pet.

In the example below, the PCs highlighted in bold text can post actions in any order and I will adjudicate those actions in the order they were posted.

You can delay to a later position in the initiative sequence, as usual.
⁢
Initiative Round #2:

Party Buffs: bless, inspire courage +1

Matrialda (invisible)
Palomia (-2 hp) + Relas
Psamtic Va'Ansu
--
Kaa the python (helpless)
Tiger-headed dude
--
Sinaryn (entangled)
Angritt
Rath o vvv o (needs a Fort save)
--
Shere Khan (bleed effect)

BOLD may act!

The MAP will be in my header AND at the top of the page.

Questions? Let me know here in Discussion or via PM.

I think in almost all of the tables I've been at, the GM has just has both Angritt and Rath act on Angritt's initiative. It's just easier that way.

All of those notes are fine with me, GM, including placing Palo & Relas together on initiative. I might've said this in the last game that we played together but I do work night shift and tend to stick to a night shift schedule even when not working. While it usually doesn't prevent me from maintaining at a least 1/day post rate it does mean that you're less likely to see posts from me between 10a to 7/8p CST.

OK, cool.

And I suspect my time zone is ~12 hours ahead of yours Palomia, which is why we tend to post at similar times ;)

Yeah, it works out okay for folks in the Eastern Hemisphere since my night is more or less their/your day :)

(For example, it's almost 1:00 am as I write this.)

It looks like I make this a full table!

Huzzah! \o/

For the record, I have ran this for Gameday VI, but never played. I will let everyone else do all the heavy thinking.

(For example, it's almost 1:00 am as I write this.)

I think you mean 1:00 Pm, but otherwise yeah :D

Lol, no one said I can do it well.

I am going to provide Faction Missions for this adventure. This is partly because at least one of them may provide useful background for the PCs. (But mainly because I ♡ factions and try to involve them whenever I can.)

However, there is NO OBLIGATION TO ACTUALLY DO THE MISSIONS, in order to get the full rewards for this scenario.

Because this is a Season 1 scenario, per the last PFS Organized Play Guide that dealt with faction missions:

Dark Archive = Cheliax
Grand Lodge = Osirion
Liberty’s Edge = Andoran
Sovereign Court = Taldor

There was no Concordance faction when that Guide was released. So I have added Angritt to the Grand Lodge mission.

Hey, all our PCs are Ambrus Valsin’s children, right? ;)

Any questions or problems, let me know.

Well it’s August. Time for Rath’s caption contest!

(Let’s keep it PG13, Pathfinders)

We start in one week! Is everyone else excited? I'm excited :D

I am more excited than a goblin at a Book burning ;)

How about you?

As a player, feeling like the goblin.

As a GM who has yet to receive his scenario, feeling like the books being burnt.

Please see the announcement regarding the gameday.

"I refuse to recognize this delay." Korum throws the doors open and starts searching the halls of the Grand Lodge for a Venture Captain. Someone's gonna give me a briefing, even if I have to beat it out of them.

Palomia sighs and rolls her eyes. "Of course. The long arm of bureaucracy strikes again. Why did I leave the caravan circuit again?"

"You think you've got it bad?"

*pfft* "I've gotta wear this stoopid feathered head-dress around for another two weeks!"

Psamtic just shrugs. "Guess I'll go watch a few more of the Hopefuls condemn their bodies to the cathedral's grounds. Always a good laugh to watch poor mages get their flight dispelled."

"Well there is more liquor in cities compared to caravans! Drink up...looks like we have some time to spare." Sinaryn laughs not the least bit bothered by the delay. She passes around a bottle to those who want it.

It’s Game Time!

If anyone is slow to arrive I will prod them with a PM.

If anything has changed about your PC, let me know so I can have all the details straight for the game and the Chronicles at the end.

In the meantime, let’s have the chat, Pathfinders!

(Not that one) The one about sub-tier!

Angritt 2
Korum 3
Matrialda 2
Palomia 1
Psamtic 1
Sinaryn 3

Mark 2000 sub-tier calculator: 2 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 3 = 12/6 = 2

So solidly in low sub-tier. Korum and Sinaryn qualify for out-of-tier gold.

Nothing new here; Palo should be good to go~

Ready to collect my overtime gold.

Psamtic is 2nd level. I'll be updating her sheet tonight.

All good, Psamtic! APL increases to 2.2 -- still low tier.

I will give you and Angritt a little time to check into Gameplay before the briefing starts.

I had no time yesterday. Will be posting today.

I PM'd Psamtic yesterday but haven't received a reply yet.

If she pulls out, I was planning to go forward with just the five of you.

Does anyone see a problem with that?

Fine with me

No problem here

Does that mean we each get more of Matrialda's freshly made cookies? Count me in (especially if they are chocolate chip)

I’ve spoken with Psamtic’s player and they’re finishing up moving into a new place tonight. They said they should be posting later today/tomorrow.

And don’t be silly - of course there’s enough cookies to go around. Just don’t eat so many that you get sick now!

^Good to know on both accounts :)

Sorry everybody! Been moving and anticipated having time that I did not. Posting should not be interrupted from here on out.

Yay! Welcome back, Psamtic!

Hope the move wasn't too stressful.
