The Fall of Plaguestone (Inactive)

Game Master Wandering Wastrel

Waiting on Giu.

Life's too short to do a loot sheet for a one-off adventure module

You can add 2d6 ⇒ (2, 5) = 7 level 1 items and 1d3 ⇒ 3 Level 2 items of your choice to your equipment. Fliss, you can repair your shield back to full hp.

I'll get us moving again soon.

Useful level one items:
1) Half-plate for Dar (Full-Plate has the benefit of giving you a +3 instead of your Dex's +1 bonus to Reflex saves versus AoE damage)
2) Half-plate for Fliss (the above applies for Fliss as well)
3) Holy Water (only hurts fiends, undead, and things vulnerable to good damage)
4) Lesser alchemist's Fire (persistent fire damage!)
5) Lesser Antidote (long-lasting bonus vs poison)
6) Lesser Antiplague (long-lasting bonus vs disease)
7) Lesser Elixir of Life (healing + 10 minutes long +1 save vs disease/oison)

Useful level two items:
1) +1 weapon for Dar
2) +1 weapon for Fliss
3) a consumable like Bravo's Brew (+1 to will, +2 vs fear for 1 hour) or a full-plate

The +1 weapons and two sets of armor are a given. We could go for one full-plate for Dar, since his Dex is 12 and the +3 bump vs AoE attacks might make a difference, and swap out the half-plate slot for another Lesser Alchemist Fire.

That sounds good to me! Thanks Giu for handling the equipment side of things so I didn't have to :)

I will update my sheet to reflect the half plate and +1 weapon. I think giving full plate to Dar is the way forward.

It's odd how magic items aren't all that exciting for casters until way later. I browsed through the level 1 and 2 items and none of them made me go 'woo!'. I have the feeling that they wanted to play it super carefully with magic in PF2 and it might take a splatbook or two to get some early items for the non-martial crowd.

And no problem. I browsed the variants trinkets and they're pretty useful, but they're one use only. A +1 weapon or full-plate seems to be a way better deal than a one-use 'a critical fail becomes a regular fail' trinket which is only useable by people trained in the Medicine skill -_o

Dar will take the full plate. Although it'll reduce his move to 15'.

As far as the weapon goes. Is that +1 potency or striking? Or perhaps both? :)

Along those lines, part of me likes splitting up the bonus as regards the to-hit bonus and the damage bonus. But it makes it more of a pain for bookkeeping.

It’s +1 potency.

Not sure if the orc would have gotten the +4 but he succeeded any way. The one time my focus spell might have actually been useful. :(

Yeah, I wasn't sure about that but ultimately it didn't matter.

It’s okay, if you need me, I’ll just be crying in the corner.

Awwww...

FWIW, our DM has that effect on his gamers. It's not just you :)

Forgot to roll for persistent damage.

Persistent Damage: 1d20 ⇒ 17

Woo!

OK, Giu's player has made it clear they aren't going to be able to come back any time soon due to RL issues.

This bit of the game was meant to be 'filler' where the reward after the intermediate boss fight is a map that takes you to the big boss, Vilree. I'm going to move instead straight to the end boss, which means you need to level up to level 3 and collect five Level 3 items.

Cleric 3

HP +10*
Skill Increase: Medicine to Expert
General Feat: Toughness
2nd level spells

New sheet linked in profile

Fighter 3

HP +12

Gains Bravery

Feat:
Incredible Initiative

Skill Increase:
Athletics increased to Expert

~~~~~

Any suggestions on items? I don't really see anything Level 3 or below that stands out.

Champion 3

HP +12

Shield Ally +2 Hardness, 50% more hit points

General feat Toughness

Skill increase Perception to Expert

Agree on equipment, can't see anything useful at level 3.

I'd say just grab some potions and let's go! :D

Dar will take five lesser healing potions.

Oops, misread the status post. Meant to heal Fliss instead of Dar. Failed either way. :(

Gah - sorry (again). Been ill. Not Covid-sick, just regular, but bad enough. Back now.

Glad you're feeling better. :)

Shaumatiel clucks her tongue as she looks at the artwork. ”Looks like somebody has serious mommy issues.”

lol you have NO idea.

Just waiting on Dar :)

My apologies: you deserve much better from me than you've been getting lately. I am still here (I hope you are too) and will get us moving tomorrow, following which I will try to post something most days.

Seriously though, 2020 can f!*+ right off.

Fliss spends some time in prayer and heals everyone up.

Lay on Hands, 10 mins to regain focus, rinse and repeat

In case anyone's wonderering, this is how you pray to Abadar

Fliss, that post is genius. I am so going to have to steal borrow the Elixir of Get Over Yourself at some point in one of my games :)

Thanks! Knock yourself out

Dar's turn

Just waiting on Dar, and I promise this game is almost at its conclusion :)

Use your Hero Point, Dar! :D

Did so.

Rolled one higher - which is a hit. :)

Hi all

Thanks for hanging in there even when posting slowed right down. I'm probably at the limit for running games right now, but am open to reviewing this when the Fly Free or Die Firefly Starfinder AP comes out!

Thanks for running the game, Sir!

You're very welcome! I'm glad we managed to complete this one, but sorry I had to drop Ellie and Allandír - I hope Gabbi and Pril are both well and still kicking ass & taking names.

I think Pril gets kicked more than she kicks, but she hasn't died yet. :)

And Gabbi's still suffering the age-old delusion that her love can turn a bad-boy around.

Thank you for running Wastrel! It was a fun game, even if most of my characters abilities weren’t relevant for this adventure. :)

Thanks WW! My first real chance to play with the PF2 games system. It's ok, I guesss.

Am definiteyl up for Firefly if you decide you can run it :)
