[PbP Gameday VIII] GM Irish202 #10-22: Passing the Torch: Who Wears the Mask

Game Master Irish202

Placeholder for game for PbP Gameday VIII, to start on 8/26/2019.

Please see PbP Gameday VIII website for more information and sign ups!

I dotted in but I need to update my character still. Thanks for running!

Just a heads up for tier adjustment, I signed up as level 15, but I'll actually be 16 after a game this coming Saturday.

I may have to alter my character choice due to my original character being involved in a PbP that is running longer.

But I am here!

Checking in as well. Marcus plays closer to fighter than rogue, but he's still good with those fiddly bits. He also has almost 31,000g to spend so I'll be looking into that before we start.

Alright, my tagline and character page is updated to what it should be after my game tomorrow. I accounted for the level, but I haven't purchased anything with gold from the chronicle.

1) Player Name: zer0darkfire
2) Character Name: Menas Red
3) PFS #: 193338-7
4) Faction: Liberties Edge
5) Normal or slow: Normal
6) No dayjob

Some important notes:
1)Menas has Spell Resistance 26.
2)He also has greater blind fight and combat reflexes with a +4 dexterity modifier.
3)In addition, any creature that makes a grapple check, including a grab, provokes an attack of oppurtunity from Menas if they don't have greater grapple, this works even if his attacker has concealment or total concealment, even if he is flat-footed, and even if his attacker has exceptional reach.
4)If a creature Menas is grappling attempts to use a polymorph effect, he can negate it as an immediate action by passing a wisdom check plus monk level against DC 11+caster level (1d20+21)
5)Menas has a ring of forcefangs, which functionally makes him immune to force effects as long as the ring has room to absorb the effect. See here for more info
6)Menas wears a necklace of adapation rendering him immune to air based attacks like poison gas and allowing him to breathe underwater.
7)Menas is immune to both poison and disease.
8)Menas wears boots of the cat so falling hardly damages him (minimum fall damage) and he isn't knocked prone from falling.
9)Menas has a +44 to grapple without any party buffs and a CMD against grapples (escape DC) of 74.

Man, high level stuff is crazy.

So, sorry for posting so much, but uhh, we all died. Entire party. Wiped out. All For Immortality part 3 hard mode means serious business. Anyway, have fun guys and good luck! I'll remove my name from the signup. Can you mark me inactive? Thanks!

Hello to those joining us soon coming up for the start on Gameday on 8/26. Feel free to post your character info here when ready (e.g. the usual info that Menas helpfully provided above as an example posthumously), as well as any information about your character that you feel might be wise for the GM to be aware of. I will be opening up the Gameplay thread for introductions on the 22nd. Let me know if you have any questions!

I'll update Jack's tagline and do a proper character introduction in the next day or two.

So, sorry for posting so much, but uhh, we all died. Entire party. Wiped out. All For Immortality part 3 hard mode means serious business. Anyway, have fun guys and good luck! I'll remove my name from the signup. Can you mark me inactive? Thanks!

Wait... can you just revive?

Answered in PM before I saw this, but figure I'll answer publicly as well:

If your party really needs me to be on the front line, I am still able to play, I'd just prefer not to.

1) Player Name: Thralleon
2) Character Name: Marcus Samuel
3) PFS #: 146509-10
4) Faction: Dark Archive
5) Normal or slow: Normal
6) No dayjob

Some important notes:
1) Marcus has Sneak Attack and another ability functionally equivalent. He also has the feat Gang Up so he counts as flanking as long as at least 2 other people are threatening his target.

2) Marcus will be hurting himself in combat. One of his primary abilities allows him to self harm for benefits to hit and damage.

3) Marcus has Trap Spotter. He has a chance to notice a trap within 10 feet automatically with a +37 perception.

4) Marcus can't benefit from morale bonuses or bardic performance. Sorry Jack, he's seen some things.

5) Marcus can control the flow of his blood. This reduces bleed damage by 10, Con damage from blood loss by 5, and let's him delay poison onset.

6) Marcus is dazzled in bright light, but his darkvision extends to 90 feet.

7) With Combat Expertise and fighting defensively Marcus can raise his AC up 7 points.

8) Marcus wears a Helm of Read Magic and Comprehend Languages so he always knows what's being said, even if he can't respond.

Does Marcus self-heal during or after self-mutilation?

He keeps a wand at hand for any caster. Something he needs to grab a spare of, now that I'm reviewing his list of gear. And I'm looking for things that will help restore him, Boots of the Earth foe example. He has a fair bit of gold to throw at it.

Hello all! The organizers for the Game Day have made the decision to push the start date for the Game Day back to September 9th, due to a delay in the release of scenarios for GM's running their tables. While I have access for it already, they have requested all tables hold off starting until the 9th.

In the meantime, if you know anyone that would like to fill in the remaining seats for this game, feel free to advertise ;)

No problem, Irish.

Picking up Boots of the Earth and retraining Piranha Strike to Fast Healer. Also 2 PP for a new Wand of Cure Light Wounds.

Fast Healer should add 2 to the healing from the Boots of the Earth along with any magical healing.

Also forgot:

9) Combat Reflexes - 10 Attacks of Opportunity per round. Improved Whip Mastery provides 10 foot threat range.

Hello! I noticed that this table had at least one open slot. By the time the table starts on the 9th I'll have a level 12 Vital Strike monster with a Butcher Axe, a level 12 Evangelist Cleric of Desna focusing on buffing, or a level 13 (or 14 by that time) Flowing Monk whom likes to trip and Repo and force conditions like sickened, flat footed, and potentially stunned. He also forces AoOs.

I'd love to join up if possible!

Grüssdottir, a 14th level dwarf cleric of Pharasma, has been enjoying her “retirement” as proprietor of Havelle’s Bar just outside of Absalom. Dwarves might not appreciate her blending of dwarf brewing secrets with the esoteric yeasts she collected in her travels but the regulars swear by her unique concoctions. A healer and wielder of a nasty +4 bec de corbin she increasingly feels the pull of adventure. Perhaps she can join the party?

Actually I would have a level 13 Vital striker or a 13-14 Flowing Monk. But it looks like my cleric would have been redundant anyway.

Hello all! I have opened the Gameplay thread for character introductions and such, in preparation for the start of the Gameday on the 9th.

Knight and Teapotic, feel free to drop in! Please post your character's information prior to posting in the Gameplay thread.

(I can believe I am now in a level I can say this)

I have a +5 cloak of résistance to spare does anyone want it?

I have bought deskari Wings and level it Up.

Yes!

Still need to add in gold, gear, and spell casting but i wanted to get something up tonight.

Hello all! I will have a post update this evening. Before we get much farther into the scenario, please make sure your character sheet info and gear are up to date on your profile page. Due to the high level nature of this one, I would appreciate having that available on my end. If you prefer using a separate source (e.g. a pdf or mythweavers) for your sheet, please PM me that info. Thanks!

Jack did you add the +5 cloak of résistance?

My Sheet is okay.

But for your information, you have a +2 damage on non-spell attack.

Who does? Jack?

Not sure what you're talking about, Géatan.

A couple tweaks and Marcus's sheet is now ready

Sorry, can someone bot me until monday? I am gming.

Having a blast with the roleplaying, GM.

Throwing out skill checks that seem appropriate, but if I'm missing something/need to do something different, just let me know.

The song Grussdottir is singing is "the Captain's Wife's Lament" by Paul and Storm. You can read/hear the two minute thirty version here.

They are known to end their shows with much, much longer renditions featuring pirate related jokes, puns and audience involvement. These include no additional lyrics and often take more than twenty minutes. I highly recommend.

I actually hope we haven't miss an objective by not retalking to Luna.

(Playing a spécial while having 6 Games is tough)

I am not here this weekend.

(I still suggest that we enter the headquarter. This is not the first Time Gaétan enters the center of a big organisation. IT is the third Time.

I think the inner sea should start to hear His name.

GM, is there an image or a map depicting the Red Mantis compound and its surroundings?

Just trying to visualize what we saw from the description you provided.

Unfortunately, there is not a map for the exterior. The scenario has a splat image that I can upload later tonight

So the plan is:We look and than we enter?

Hey all! We had someone quit at work this week during our peak flu season at my pharmacy, and I have had to put in significant overtime to compensate. I do plan on continuing to post, but you may notice a delay on my side of things. Expect an update later tonight.
