GM Ietsuna's Master of the Fallen Fortress (Inactive)

Game Master Ietsuna

Fallen Fortress. Put your details below. I have 3 spots reserved, but 3 are available.

I'm game. Been there often enough before, but it has been a while.

Guess I'll have to stick to 1st-level characters for this, of which I am presently ready to serve up the following:

- a Half-Elf Bloodrager
- a Kitsune Samurai
OR
- a Tiefling Paladin (with 1 adventure under his belt)

Others are possible (including but not limited to a Ranger, Ninja, and Arcanist), but presently shakier.

Decker Finch, checking in. I'm Headbutt's character, an Investigator whose focus is on social skills and knowledges. What other details do you need?

If this isn't a great place for skill focused characters, I do have a build for a combat focused Slayer as well (whose still trained in 6 of the Knowledges).

i'm in to help the new players if there is room...since IHIYC is here if more rookies show up i'll bow out...if i play i'll be whatever is needed

I have actually never played this one before. I noticed that it is an evergreen. I imagine that I can play this one with a level 2 character once? Assuming that there is room of course. :)

Like Grimdog, I'm happy to help out (and have both played and run MotFF), but happy to step back if other new players arrive. I have character options, but maybe something super heal-y, just in case.

What is the character creation guide?

I decided on a 1st level character and it will be a Gnome Sorcerer.
I almost finished. Now I am wondering due to a racial trait if a ruined castle would be considered Favored Terrain:Urban or Underground or potentially both or either?

The character is finished except for a point of clarification over the favored terrain.

What is the character creation guide?

The Pathfinder Society Roleplay Guild Guide has the rules etc for character creation among other things. It is available HERE

If this adventure would favor a more combat-oriented character, this is the Slayer I'll bring. This be Headbutt.

The choice is entirely your Headbutt. This adventure has you investigating a fortress.

The ruined siege castles outside Absalom have long beckoned adventurers looking to make a name for themselves. Now an earthquake has cracked open one of these fabled ruins, and its lost mysteries and fantastic treasures lie exposed for the first time in centuries. But the tower's empty halls once more echo with living footfalls, and a new master has claimed the Fallen Fortress as his own. Can the PCs find a way to get inside its shattered walls? What ancient dangers and fresh threats will they encounter inside its crumbling chambers? And will the PCs be able to defeat the current Master of the Fallen Fortress?

Old Decker was designed with urban intrigue and mystery solving in mind, Agni will come to conquer this ruin.

"All is to Ash, Acolyte Agni. May your path blaze with Her hunger!"

"All is to Ash, Acolyte Agni. May your path blaze with Her hunger!"

"Her flames will be fed with our victories. Burn bright, sister Nemesis."

It looks like Ietsuna's dance card is filled- very much interested in getting underway as a fledgling Pathfinder, so any other dirt-league games that might spring up will have my dubious talents available to their cause.

@GM Ietsuna:I'm happy to give up my spot for a new player.

Thanks Trishadow.

Thanks very kindly, Trishadow- a true gentlecreature!

I have a halfling Shaman (Tribe spirit) I'd like to put in- he's a focused support specialist, with a Mascot-archetype familiar. His Tribe spirit grants him the Stealth Synergy teamwork feat, and allows him to grant it to allies several times per day, so the group will be well-equipped for skulking around as a group.

He's also a pretty effective face, with a +10 to Diplomacy after counting in his pig familiar bonus.

I'll get him properly statted up soon- looking forward to the game!

Ok, so update.

Headbutt - Agni Almasi
Lokem - TBC
IHIYC - TBC
Wyrmkin - Relgar
Robothedino - Halfling Shaman
LecherMan69 - TBC

Introducing: My Bloodrager!

This character began her existence as a joke. I have since elected to make her my attempted homage to the classic "Robert E. Howard-style swords-and-sorcery-and-sexiness adventuress" archetype. Think 'Red Sonja meets Jessica Rabbit'.

I will give Lokem and Lecherman69 a day to check in before we move on.

Headbutt - Agni Almasi
Lokem - TBC
IHIYC - Jezebel Gemblade
Wyrmkin - Relgar
Robothedino - Halfling Shaman
LecherMan69 - TBC

Ok. Lets go. Everyone, to the gameplay thread. I'll PM and chase up our two friends.

Heroki Nagato

Magus(Eldrich)

Male

True Neutral

Thanks Heroki. Come join us in the gameplay thread.

robothedino here- apologies for the delay in getting this character going; the design part's been finished for days but I've had a dickens of a time getting a proper stat block formatted and entered on the profile. Right now it just includes a link to a Google Drive folder with a PDF character sheet. Hope it suffices for the time being, I'll get it entered properly ASAP!

That's fine robothedino. As long as I have a sheet to look at. I can give you a link to a pre-formatted template for a forum alias if you would like that.

I'm new too, once I got the formatting down for making sheets, I started loving the profiles here even more than standard sheets. It's so easy to customize and organize it how you like.

This is Agni by the way.

Is there a map somewhere for this game?

Sorry for the delay in showing up; I've been occupied, and introducing a new character for the very first time is always a challenge.

NB: I am wearing a barbed vest - a very nice thing for very low levels!

It is up to the GM but generally style feats need to be activated in combat. You cannot be walking around in Crane Style etc...

As a swift action, you can enter the stance employed by the fighting style a style feat embodies. Although you cannot use a style feat before combat begins, the style you are in persists until you spend a swift action to switch to a different combat style.

Whoops. Consider him only mentally psyched up for now.

That'd be swell, thanks!

That said, realized I made a few oversights on the sheet I uploaded, which I'm correcting now, namely:

Was short 1 language (adding Elven)
Replacing Weapon Familiarity with Behind the Veil
Adjusting his prepared spells for the day, replacing Shadow Trap with Cure Light Wounds

Also, not sure if it's legal or not, but I'd love for Ojukokoro to have some Small-sized saddlebags, since Mbende can barely stand up straight in his basic leather armor and will need some help carting around his gear. Is this in bounds?

Check out GM Poblano Pepper's preformated sheet HERE

Saddlebags on Ojukokoro are fine. You would have to buy them for whatever their cost is. I don't have the book in front of me right now.

Thanks a lot, Ietsuna. One final request- while it may be unorthodox/suboptimal, I do plan to make use of Ojukokoro in combat for flanking/aid other actions. This combat looks to be over in a few moments, but in future ones can piggy have a token and action as well?

I know that makes extra work for you- if there's some way to lighten the load, let me know.

(Side note: Does the module as written really have us making knowledge rolls to know what a dog is? If so, why no Knowledge: Engineering roll to recognize the tower as a building, and not a weirdly-shaped mountain?

I have no points in Profession: Cobbler, really hope my character doesn't have to roll to distinguish between his shoes and his weapons...)

In case anyone's wondering what's become of our illustrious GM, I stalked his profile a bit and looks like he's out to Paizocon this weekend- hopefully he'll be back with us shortly.

Yeah, sorry all. I am back now.

No the module doesn't give the roll to ID the dogs, but they never do give them.

I'll put a token for Ojukokoro down too. Just be aware that once Ojukokoro is a combatant then they are also a valid target. I don't make a habit of killing PCs, infact I have never killed a PC ever, but just warning that it may happen.

Wouldn't have it any other way! I finally have finished stat blocks in the profile for both Mbende and Ojukokoro, so do your worst! (And of course, let me know if anything doesn't look right to you).

Still working on getting the equipment part of both of them adjusted, will have that done ASAP.

I can’t figure out how to move things on the map

Should be a simple drag-and-drop operation; what's happening on your end?

If you are playing on a mobile device then there can be issues with the way that google slides works.

I didn’t realize you needed google slides, that was my problem!

How about Kyra as the pre-gen? She does not really have to participate in combat unless someone is down but can be around for healing purposes? Rebuke death is a good ability at 1st level.

She's okay in combat, too, isn't she? Got that cool Flames of the Dawnflower Combat trait, I believe?

Anyone who can use a healing wand, really...but Kyra's not a bad idea.

The pre-gen Inquisitor could be interesting, too; I've never seen her actually played.

She is fine in combat but she can channel heal, can rebuke death, can convert spells to healing. This is what the party needs now.

If the GM allows your character can collapse and Kyra can come in and rebuke death and then heal you up.

Sounds fine. That will get Kyra in to the game and get Jezebel up.
