The Fall of Plaguestone (Inactive)

Game Master Eric Collins - France

I think none of us are here for the loot o_0

In the avatar bar, I renamed the link to the main GoogleDocs as Plaguestone and the Current Map as Map (still the same names up above on top left).

So. if Sitril wants to pick the goggles out of the bushes, you'll see that these are made with one special lens [b][url=https://2e.aonprd.com/Equipment.aspx?ID=427]stuck beside an ordinary one.

You can either keep it, or sell it for 30 gp worth of scrolls or whatever.

Sitril would gladly sell them for 30 gp worth of items.

Say what you take for the money.

Unlce Sitril, buys gifts this time. I will assemble a list from the ideas provided.

A couple of wild ideas (some not that wild):
- Bloodseaker beak for Giggett - 20 go
or
- 2 x Moderate Juggernaut Mutagens 24 gp

- 2 x Cytillesh Poison similar to beak for prolonged fights. 20 gp

I wanted to go with something exotic as this money sort-of fell up on us.

If I want to be thorough (and I want) you forgot the 6 sp for Giggett's arrows.
Also, can I find that spell in scroll: http://2e.aonprd.com/Spells.aspx?ID=566
At level 1 or 2, I find it awesome :)

You had 6 silver for arrows and 1 silver left at the bar, right?
Which brought you down to 0 money left, I think.

So, pick up whatever you want with the 30 gp.

@GM I will let Nat and Tam post their ideas for the spend and will post what we buy tomorrow mid-day if that is not a problem

Poison is not easy to use. 3 actions to put it, so it must be done before combat. And you never know what you'll face after applying it.
Bloodseaker beak is nice, but I'm not doing that many sneak attacks. I have hard time knowing if I'll be able to use it at the right time.
I like Juggernaut Mutagens, especially moderate ones, but it looks like I'm the only one to use them (you need a free hand).

Having a scroll of heal level 2 could come handy. But Soothe 2 also as both Giggett and me can use it.

I don't have much of an opinion! This is my first 2e game aside from a very short PFS scenario.

Heal 2 is better than Soothe. I have what I need to get you up if you fall.

Probably worth noting that if Giggett and Tamerius fall, I can pick people up, too.

a very short PFS scenario

But fun!

So:
1 or 2 x Heal 2 Scroll (for 12 or 24 gp)
Leaving 18 or 6 gp

I need to use Linna again. Just something fun about bringing a fork and a knife into battle...

Let us go with 2 x Heal 2 Scroll 24 go.
If the tents are wanted let us buy 4 pup tents
There is no info if they are a single person or per 2 pc's but they are cheap and light. 8sp x 4 = 3.2 gp

27.2
That leaves us with 2.8 gp Sitril still has 2.5 gp which give us 5.3 gp. That allows us for 1 more scroll Lvl 1.

There's a 4-person tent for 5gp. A bit more expensive, but maybe more comfortable than small tents :)
Unless you don't want to have red hair in all your stuff.

So add:
1 x lvl 1 Heal Scroll
2 x lvl 2 Heal Scrolls
And you get four tents, some food, a keg of beer, ustensiles for camping and a little cart to truck this all around.

Is that good?

Yes!

@GM I will add the scrolls on my character sheet

Map added in slide 37 and in the Current Map.

I'll get back to you later on today.
These three days I'm running online classes (I was supposed to be in Tallinn, Estonia, but am in my living room instead - makes for a shorter commute) so I am busy all day long.

I put a map up, so place your pit there.
In yellow are where your snares are.

You can place your minis.
Sitril and Tamerius are in the pit.
Natsume leaning against a tree beside it.
And I imagine Giggett is at the edge of the pit speaking to his comrades within.

It is too much of a headache - without any map or real idea how far you away you are from the "fort" - to calculate things in detail.
So, you will be attacked 5 to 10 minutes after Giggett and Natsume return.
Thus Sitril and Tamerius will probably have gotten out of the pit (unless you want to remain in it).
So just place yourselves where you think you'd be while discussing what happened and your next plan.

Place your pit wherever it might be.

In yellow are where the snares you found of the hunter are, sorry, that's what I meant by "your" snares (not too clear).

I've put a red rectangle (roughly where the pit could have been), and Sitril icon. I had issues with making the rectangle transparent :( Sitril sad.

:( Sitril sad.

Gotcha covered!

Sitril happy :)

Okay, thanks!
I'll get things going tonight I hope (sorry, was working all day on Zoom) tomorrow morning at the latest.

I'm positioned, too.

No need to apologize, GM. All is good.

Thanks!
I try to be a bit faster, but there is so much to read in the CRB and in the Module to move everything away from the planned encounters that it takes time.

You guys all updated the slide?

I did now :P yeah

And the fattest guy at the party has an attack of opportunity!

I like those easy combats where critical hit eats more than half of your HP. If that would be the boss he would hit me for 60 dmg instead :D

"LORD NAR is a LORD. LORD be biggah than boss. Lord by stwong!"

"Lard Nar!", a Goblin calls out.

We know already that Big N has attack of opportunity. Can someone advice what I can do to not go back to dying this round?

The things that do not causes AOO are: melee attack, step or move into threatened space (not out).

Standing up causes reaction, crawling away causes a reaction. Can I play dead? I hardly see any options, I can punch from the ground but I will be smashed by Nar when he moves.

Any advice?

That’s one of the reason I’ve decided to go with the channel because I had no solution to help you if I had healed you...

Delay is your best option in my mind

When I delay I am lying prone there for the Nar to attack.

If I see this right, My square has a fraction of bushes on it, I could take cover (does not cause a reaction) stand up and sneak. If the stealth will be better than Nar perception he will not smack me.

Does it make sense? Or should I just lay there hoping that they will not focus me?

I can try to trip him on my next turn—if he’s prone, I don’t thhhhink he can lash out? Not actually sure. Either that or his chance to hit goes down.

Or not!

@Sitril: you are no longer raging.
Yes, if you grab your weapon, get up, crawl, anything pretty much, you provoke, and he has his reaction.
W. his to hit and being prone (flat foot) that is at least 1/3 chance of a crit'.
So, I'd say either you pummel him (3 strikes from laying down, w. the -2)... and roll nat' 20's and kill him. He IS pretty badly hit-- you can see drop dropping from all over.
Or delay.
Now that Natsume is down he will probably move on to other targets.

@Natsume: I did not even think at all about a possible crit' fail. Was thinking of Sitril...
And since you rolled a 1 after, the Hero Point reroll would be wasted.
1/400... bleh!

@Tamerius --> Perfect!

I do not know if you did not know/remember that the Orcs' Ferocity meant they would die but not die--
--and that the Paladin would blow up when hit by Asmodeus' energy... but this is a great story already!

@GM I am happy that you enjoy it ;) Go ORCS!

It is a memorable move!

• I blast all!
• Err... wait, that will blast your friends.
• That is my tactic
• Okay, if you're sure.
• Bam bam bam the Orcs die-- but do not die.
• Boom: your friend does two nat 1's in a row and BLOWS UP!
• ---!

“I hastily scoop the magic back into my profane symbol!”

Well, that was a twist!

I need a moment of disbelief before choosing what to do :D

Sorry, I still giggle ever time I think of that-- how I was wondering if Sitril would survive the negative energy, and then I picture Natsume as a giant fox in armor suddenly exploding!

The Tamerius giveth, and the Tamerius taketh away!
