@ GM Dennis - There is a chance that I will be able to play Ott at a local con on Saturday. Can I "drop" this game before the briefing (assuming it occurs over the weekend) and then join the table in progress on Monday (assuming Ott has survived)?

Since I was going to launch this weekend anyway, I think the easiest solution is for us to just wait until Saturday night to start. If something changes with your character between now and then let me know.

Brogag isn’t needed anywhere else so I’m good when everyone else is.

Errata came just in time to give my druid a 5th cantrip like everybody (spellcaster anyway) else.

Thanks. Now ready to go. No changes.

Great, I've just posted the intro. I'd like everyone to please post the following for me:

Perception modifier:
Normal initiative skill & modifier (if different):
Skills you always want me to roll secret checks for, with modifiers:
Other skills you might want me to roll, and the conditions under which I should:

Perception modifier: +5
Normal initiative skill & modifier (if different): Perception, +5
Skills you always want me to roll secret checks for, with modifiers: Diplomacy +7, Perception +5, Religion +3, Society +3
Other skills you might want me to roll, and the conditions under which I should:

Perception modifier+7
Initiative+7
Secret rollsNone
Other rolls None

Perception modifier: +7
Normal initiative skill & modifier (if different): +7
Skills you always want me to roll secret checks for, with modifiers: Nature +7, Religion +7, Society +5, Survival +7
Other skills you might want me to roll, and the conditions under which I should:

Perception modifier: +7

Perception modifier+6
Initiative+6
Secret rollsNone
Other rolls None

Perception modifier: +5 (low-light vision)
Normal initiative skill & modifier (if different): Stealth (Avoiding Notice) +9
Skills you always want me to roll secret checks for, with modifiers:

Is it okay to answer: when the GM thinks it appropriate (I have placed all skill modifiers under spoiler in my PC header)?

Otherwise, I'd say: Arcana +1, Halfling Lore (T) +6, Lore +1, Nature +2, Occult +1, Religion (T) +5, Society (T) +6, Survival (T) +7, and Underworld Lore (T) +6

Other skills you might want me to roll, and the conditions under which I should:

See above I trust the GM to know when the scenario benefits from the PC not knowing the outcome of a roll. However, I also realize the extra burden this puts on a GM (particularly if the GM has to maintain separate rolling parameters for different PCs).

A lot of times I'll prompt you when there are decisions to be made about rolling, I just figured I'd get a list of 'always rolls'. For instance, you have a +7 Survival, so I figure you'll always want me to roll Survival. Probably the same with Society, your lore skills, and maybe Religion.

Ott likes to know things (or at least look like he does), so you can assume that he will attempt to make nearly all "Recall Knowledge" attempts (even if his low modifier makes success unlikely).

Got it. I ask because there is often a penalty for critically failing checks in this system, even on Recall Knowledge checks (usually in the form of bad information).

It was precisely that feature of the system that I thought might make playing a PC like Ott at little more fun to play. I mean, wouldn't you already think twice about trusting information provided to you by someone with the last name, "Underhand"?

Only boon slotted is Grand Archive champion. Requisition minor healing pot and lesser antidote from scrolls.

Great point! Bron requisitions two Potency Crystals.

Brondulf, I don’t know why I thought you were a dwarf. Whoops!

Sorry for the delay, folks. My day got away from me yesterday.

Those of you that are Following the Expert, who are you following, and to do what?

I envisioned a PC trained in Nature using Recall Knowledge to Investigate, looking for clues as to what was going on with the cargo and what it might be attracting. Ott would then Follow the Expert, aiding in the investigation.

If that does not sound reasonable/plausible, then Ott will Scout.

I'm with Ott on this. If that isn't reasonable, then Bron will Defend.

Emmanuel is on the lookout for any hazards or wild animals who may attack. Based on the briefing and his own hunch, the forces of nature don't want the Pathfinders to succeed.

I’m with Ott.

Meant to post earlier, but today is Veterans Day and I was kind of busy. My daughter was also in a minor car accident yesterday so I’ve been dealing with that.

Hope your daughter is okay!

I’m with Ott.

Hope she's OK!

I hope she recovers soon.

That sounds reasonable, though I'd point out that for some of you (including Brondulf and Brogag at least), your perception is higher than your nature roll, even following the expert (level + WIS + 2), so you might be better off searching anyway.

Thank you everyone. Thankfully she isn’t hurt. Worst part was dealing with a hysterical 17 year old.

Sorry for the slow response, folks. I started a new job last week and I'm still adjusting.

That's OK. Been busy with work recently as well, especially with exams coming this week. Grats with the new job BTW.

If I'm reading Page 305 right, I use my spell attack roll to use Chill Touch instead of an unarmed melee attack.

That's how I understand it. Spell attacks have replaced touch attacks in general.

Travel day tomorrow. Should be able to post, but may be delayed.

Oof, I must have been sleepy when I posted. Can everyone roll me their Earn Income checks please?

Earn Income... that's my Performance check, right?

Performance: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Performance, Lore, or Crafting.

Underworld Lore: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

@ GM Dennis - Thanks for running!

@ All - Lots of fun, all! Also, I don't recall being in a party with so many thick accents before.

Accents? Ah dunnae kinn whit yoo're talkin' abit.

Crafting: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Thank you for running, GM Dennis!
