[PFS2] GM Steinkrug's Port Peril Pub Crawl (Quest #4) (Inactive)

Game Master steinkrug

Game starts 1/29/2020

Hello!
Milady reporting for duty.

Ortho up and ready!

Lusinel will be getting GM credit applied before we start Q4, but it will not change her level.

Kazikli is ready! No changes since last adventure, but after this I'll finally hit level 2 and get to wear armor. The possibilities!

Kazikli is going to be a Redemeer of Gozreh?

(I have to update Milady, but it is only extra XP, Fame, money etc. and nothing will change since I am not levelling up or buying anything - should change this before we start)

Updated.

No one will say that Milady is out of date.
Nor outdated.
She is... classic.

Indeed he is! I've got him far more planned out than I maybe should have. Quite perceptive!

Here, if I haven’t missed it.

I missed the link in the previous game. I kept looking for a post with the information and it was right in front of me. Failed perception check!

I haven't applied the last chronicle yet but should be able to do that shortly.

Great to see you in RL earlier this week Barb/Numbat! :waves:

It was, Lusinel/Jocelyn. Hopefully next time we can actually chat and maybe even play a game together. Nice to have a face to go with your online voice.

Character updated.

With Google Slides how do I get the image to extend beyond the slide so that it's not resized?

Not sure exactly what you are aiming for, but, in general, I just drag them to make them as big as I want/can, and they thus extend beyond the slide's boundaries, but I think they cannot go that far. Just a bit more.

You can drag and pull to resize them outside the boundaries several times until you get the size you want. There is no overall size restriction but the screen viewport only goes so big at a time so you have to do it a few times.

I have found better success if I drag to the right and down before sizing up.

Thanks all. I see how I can incrementally enlarge it. When I was trying earlier, I wasn't being gentle enough and kept moving to the earlier slide.

That said, the map has a lot of unused space so I ended up cutting it down anyway. But good for future reference.

I'm not actually able to move my token on the map. I did send a request through Google slides for write access; if possible I would start northeast of where I'm placed, between the tables and out of Lusinel's path.

Yeah, we need editing access oh great GM.

Also, the only known exit is the stairs in zone 5?

Do we need to subdue each zone we pass through as well as any individuals?

Technically we could all just move at full speed off the map, ignore the enemies and take our chances with whatever attacks are dealt to us along the way, but things tend not to end up going like that.

Sorry about that. Must have had the link on view only. Hopefully it's fixed now.

Yes, the stairs in zone 5 are the exit from the bar. The fight spills out into the street there, so exiting zone 5 is what will get you free of the fight.

I presumed (without being able to check) that I can cast Telekinetic Projectile as non-leathal. If I can’t, feel free to replace my last move with either a step forward, punch, and shield, or me just standing there in confusion for this turn, GM’s choice. I may not be able to be back on today, and wanted to keep things moving.

You take a –2 circumstance penalty to the attack roll when you make a nonlethal attack using a weapon that doesn’t have the nonlethal trait.

So it would be a penalty of 2, not 4 (it's 4 in PF1 and Starfinder).

There is some argument about whether all spells with attack rolls can be cast nonlethally, and I don't think they all can, but those that involve a weapon do seem to qualify and I'd argue TKP does because there is an actual projectile involved.

(Incidentally, it isn't necessary that we do nonlethal for the purposes of the scenario. The individual enemies are doing lethal damage.)

Sorry, the confusion about non-lethal is probably my fault. The quest has a sidebar discussing the issue, but essentially it comes down to have the enemies be knocked out instead of dead when they reach 0 HP and stabilize on their next turn. Unless the PCs continue to attack them of course.

I think from an RP perspective it kind of makes sense to proceed with nonlethal. I did forget the -2 to the acolytes attacks. I think it might only impact the glancing blow Barb took but I'll check.

Am I deafened in the bar fight? I thought it was crit fail to be deaf; I failed, then got a crit success.

I believe you're not deafened. However, the only difference it makes is whether you get Inspire Courage on your magic missile damage and the mook is going down even without it.

For reference here's the list of things that have the Auditory trait (other than Performance which may have the trait, see CRB p. 250) i.e. the things affected by Deafened.

Due to work, I may not be able to post in a timely fashion tomorrow, so here's my Earned Income roll.

As is her wont, Lusinel parlays her knowledge of the extralegal into cash.

Underworld Lore(T): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27 Crit success for 4 sp total.

As Lusinel has led the way, feel free to roll downtime. I'll then try to get Chronicle sheets together in a timely fashion.

Milady reports to the Grand Lodge, and, after hunting down some poor mid-management official, bores him to death with her report: ..."and we were left on a sandbar, with wet feet. That will not do. Wet feet can bring on death more assuredly than rabid-manticores. So, I feel we should all be issued warm galoshes..."

Performance, trained: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

Performance: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Kazikli is afforded some extra time to pine over his armor, as his horrendous flute-playing sees only ire directed his way in lieu of coin.

Milady applauds Kazikli: "Chin up! Keep on working and you will get better!"

Chronicles for Kazikli, Lusinel and Milady are ready here.

Thank you very much, GM Steinkrug, for running this, and the Chronicle!

Thanks all for a lot of fun!

Crafting: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Crafting: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Success on a level 0 task >5cp/dayx2=1sp

It was a delight to play in this group. Thank you GM Steinkrug for running each of these quests. I'd play with you again any day.

I do hope you have enjoyed your prolonged introduction to PbP GMing.

Logsig - I hope to see you again in Washington soonish and maybe catch an in-person game together.

For the rest of you, I hope to one day meet in person but will happily look for you online.

Agreed, thanks aplenty for sticking it out! I hope this leaves you with a good impression of GMing.

Thanks to everyone else for adding to the fun as always.

Thanks to everyone. Sorry for the slow posting in the last 48 hours.

Thanks, GM Steinkrug, for a fun series of quests.

Oh- downtime. Library Lore: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Thanks for running, GM! See y'all around!

Barb, Feldspar and Ortho Chronicles have been added.

Thanks so much everyone. I've had a fantastic time GMing these quests and it has been very educational. I appreciate all the help along the way. I'll miss playing with all of you and I truly hope to have other opportunities in the future. Feel free to drop me a message sometime!

Thanks. Download complete.

Downtime roll for GM Credit:
Lore(Cave): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17
