This is a tier 2-4 module granting 3XP and 4PP upon successful completion. If you're still deciding which character to bring I recommend favouring a lvl 3 over a lvl 2.

Day job roll The miserable mage strokes his beard.
"Day job!?" he responds. "Day Job?!"
"Why, sir, do you seek to insult me, Golthwur Strath? Master of Magic? Scion of Sorcery? Potentate of Power? I would think not! For surely, even the most mundane of men knows that a mage's pursuits of matters arcane and wondrous e is neither restrained by the hours of sunlight nor a task undertaken merely for a wage!"
Slow or normal xp track Normal (at least, as "normal" as Golthwur can be.)
Was going to bring my Cavalier 2, but am reconsidering in light of the GM's suggestion. I've got a Wizard/Rogue 3 and an Alchemist 3.2 (but need to build him - GM baby) available, and also I think I'll have a Psychic 4 available by the time we start. Will give it a bit of thought.
I tend to lean away from playing a pathfinder module at the bottom end of the sanctioned tier range - most modules assume a level up (or more than one) between the start and the final encounter, but you don't get to do that in PFS - so if you do play at level 2 the risk is greater.
Gronkh looks pretty tough for a level 2, but it's up to you in the end.
I don't want to put you off playing your chosen characters :)
When I played this module we had a lvl 3 swashigator, my lvl 3 divine verminous hunter with mantis companion, my wife's lvl 3 monk (basically a Sajan pregen clone, very slightly tweaked), a level 2 switch-hitter ranger, and a level 1 pregen warpriest. The latter was a bit of a screw-up, because the player brought an illegal character but he was brand new, and the mistake wasn't spotted till we were several hours in; I think he brought his PC from his home game. He should have been given a level 4 pregen, not the level 1. This party survived and was successful. With 4 level 3s and 2 level 2s you should be OK, but the level 2s will naturally find it slightly more dangerous.

Player name Uktar

Character PFS number 100685-17
Faction Silver Crusade, of course
Day job roll too dumb (seriously)
Slow or normal xp track Normal
Yagaji is a bright & shiny Nagaji Paladin of Iomedae...and he's dumber than a bag of hammers.
(Not certain if profile is entirely up-to-date: he's played one more scenario IRL, and need to check ITS, etc. But most of it should be accurate. )

Hmmmm. It looks like, with Golthwur, we would have 3 level 2s. On top of that, Golthwur is an absolute coward who often contributes little to combat (though he would vehemently deny it!).
While a squishy coward may be fun to play, I don't want my PC choice putting the entire party at risk.
Any suggestions on a pregen? Looks like we have a couple front liners and a caster. Do we need a healer? Should I bring 4th-level Kyra?
Official start date isn't till August 26th, so you should have time to make your alchemist.
Current party roster:
Golthwur (wiz2)
Byron (wiz3)
Yagajimoro (pal2)
Jeskit (bldrgr3)
not-gronkh (alc3)
angela (inv3)
Sedoriku hasn't checked in yet with Angela. This party looks like it might be doing a lot of book-sharing ;)
The module is written for 4 PCs, so you're looking OK I think.

The small halfling gives Golthwur's outbreak a single raised eyebrow before she sets down her pack, pulls out a small note pad. She writes a small note on the first page and tears it out before removing a single manil folder with the wizard's name written on it. She then takes out a small contraption and affixes the note to the inside of the folder with a small metal barb. She puts the folder away and gives Golthwur a professional smile.
Yup.
Gameday start is postponed 2 weeks because scenarios haven’t dropped yet.
Gives me a little more time to see if I can pull my Alchemist together...
There is now a link to the slides for the scenario at the top of the page, and in my profile header.
I borrowed heavily from slides prepared by GM Jakuri, which has saved me a fair bit of work.
Abraham, when your character is ready please add details to Slide 1.
I am on UK time, but my most frequent posting time is late night. On September 8th I am due to have minor surgery - outpatient only, but I might still be recovering from sedation on the 9th, which might slightly delay the 'official' beginning. I'll aim to get an introductory post up in the week though.

I was just going to post something about it being one more week before we start! Lol. Here's hoping the surgery goes well!

Sorry for the delay in posting these details. In the end I stuck with my cavalier - still haven't had time to sort out my alchemist gm-baby.
No worries Yagaji - speaking of botting, could you all (if you haven't already) put some basic Bot Me instructions in your profile please? I do like to keep things moving and will normally bot in combat if you haven't posted 24 hours after your turn comes up.
I do hope you meant "PCs" ticking you off and not this player. If not, then I apologise because I certainly did not mean to offend or appear to "sabotage" the party's chances at success. That is not my intent and if I cross that line, please let me know and I will adjust the PC.
As a PC, Golthwur is an unrepentant jerk, but I don't wish to act like one as a player. If the way I play Golthwur makes someone uncomfortable or otherwise ruins ani,

I do hope you mean not many "PCs" have ticked you off. If not, then I apologize. As a player, it is certainly not my intent to offend or appear to "sabotage" the party's opportunities for success. If I have crossed those lines, please let me know here or by PM and I will adjust how I play Golthwur accordingly.
Golthwur the PC acts like an unrepentant jerk, but, as a player, I want to be helpful, considerate and fun. If I can improve my play in any way on those fronts, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Golthwur is fun :) I am liking how this party is shaping up!
Gameplay update later today.

@ Angela - I figured as much, but knowing that communication can be imperfect, I'd rather be overly cautious than risk making anyone uncomfortable. Thanks for the encouragement!
@ GM supervillain (and all) = This is a good group! Great roleplaying of NPCs and PCs alike! I'm really enjoying this run and eager to see what happens next.
Gameplay update later today - had a really busy day yesterday.
My posting will likely be a little less frequent for the next few days. I'm moving house (and country) on Monday + Tuesday.
This is the slow part of the adventure. The pace will pick up ;)

No worries at all, though I can't figure out if we're missing something obvious or have overlooked some clue or location that we should be attending to. It's tough sometimes, with the pace that PbP games unfold at, to keep track of all the story details.

Sorry for the lack of posts there! Life got very busy for a few days and then once I finally got things settled down I had no clue where or how to get back into this campaign. Sorry if I caused any worry or concerns! I should be back for a good while (though the 6-10th of November will be supremely busy for me again, though I am more prepared for it, this last one was a bit out of the blue for me.)
I am travelling for the next two days. I may be able to get a gameplay update done this evening, but otherwise it'll probably be Thursday.
Being a module, this is going to run longer than the official end of Gameday. I will therefore report the game, and make boon rolls, before the end date. I will report any changes after the end of play.
Boon rolls! a 19 or 20 wins a boon
Boon for Byron! I'll need your email address for reporting please.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Also, the boon is randomised:
Boon number 2 is "moment of glory"
It's possible we may have a few more "one to one" spoilered conversations to come - if this does happen I will try to give a bit of commentary for those of you not directly involved.

A summary post - what has happened so far, and what you have learned:
hope that's of some help :)

Yes, agree this is very helpful, especially in the PbP context where it can be easy to lose track of what's going on.
I confess I'm somewhat stumped. Clearly something is amiss here, but short of waiting until the Mosquito Queen carries poor Byron off to feed her larvae, I'm not sure what we should be doing that we haven't already tried.
You have some choices to make now.
Byron is already outside with Shel.
Angela is following - but is a distance behind, having lost sight of the couple.
Byron's Message spell has let Jeskit know what direction they're going in.
Jeskit needs 1 minute to don his armour hastily.
Gronkh needs another 3 minutes to get his armour on - he can shave a minute off that if he gets someone to help him.
Whilst there are no stables shown on the maps, I am a firm believer in accommodating companion critters as much as possible: I'm going to say that there is a stable next to the manor house. Going to get Horace, waking him and saddling him up will take 4 minutes - if you don't mind going bareback you can do without the saddle and be mounted up in 2 minutes.
Golthwur has his book out.
Yagaji has yet to declare actions: he has a chain shirt, so might have slept in it.
Essentially, you need to choose whether to chase after Byron or not - and how long you spend on preparations beforehand.

Hrmm on a semi-related note, has Anglea's extracts expired? This is one of those grey areas; extracts last for '1 day' after they are prepared and need to be re-prepared everyday. Depending on how one defines 1 day, it could be they are still usable as a full day hasn't passed, or could have lost their magic as we have reset for the day. Setting an unusual prep time (say 8 p.m. sharp, every night, right before bed) would be helpful for defining this, but I have left it nebulous on Angela so this would be GM's call I believe.... Though really only Shield would help her in combat here.
