GM Blake |
Welcome! It is my pleasure to serve as your gamemaster and guide you on a fun and dangerous adventure. Thank you for joining me here!
Please read the following rules as they apply to my games. By completing the mustering questions, you agree to abide by these rules.
1. If you are color blind or have any other issue that will affect your experience with play-by-post play and use of GoogleDocs slides, let me know, publicly or via PM.
2. Bullying of either your fellow players or me, your GM, is not allowed.
3. I expect posts within 24 hours of an actionable post by me. E.g. combat rounds. This is an Online Convention, so there are no weekend exceptions to this rule.
4. Please let me know either in PM or in the Discussion thread if you will have a prolonged absence. And if you have an emergency, please let me know as soon as reasonably possible that 1) you had an emergency that kept you away and 2) that you are (or are not) OK. I actually do worry about my players when they vanish.
5. I no longer bot characters for absent players. After 24 hours of inactivity, the character goes on indefinite delay/non-action.
6. The exception to #4 is if you tell me ahead of time that you will be gone (or as soon as reasonably possible afterwards in the case of emergencies). However, my botting will be bare bones. You may also proactively arrange with another player to bot you during anticipated absences, but they must also agree to it.
7. I perform resource checks (also known as character audits). The details will be posted separately, but you must be prepared to demonstrate proof of ownership of any and all resources that you use for your character at any time (in an online format).
I will post a separate sign-in sheet in the campaign header for your PFS details. In the meantime, please post here, feel free to coordinate any purchases, school item selections, or anything else while waiting for the start of the convention.
Please also "dot-delete" in the Gameplay thread. You accomplish this by make a post, any post (often people just post a '.' thus the term dot) and then delete it. Make sure you click the second delete confirmation found under the post preview. This will register your game to your campaigns tab for easy reference and notify you of new posts.

This is Kang, the well-meaning but occasionally distracted wizard / alchemist. Hopefully, his fox familiar can keep him in line.
Victus of Pangolais |
This is Victus of Pangolais, an aspiring hellknight with a somewhat grim countenance. It is not clear why he joined the Pathfinder Society, but he intends to carry out his missions with exactness.
GM Blake |
There's a new link on the campaign header 'Maps & Things.'
Please fill in the default exploration information.
Katerina Villasani |
This is Katerina Villasani. She joined the Pathfinder Society because she has a fascination with Thallassionian ruins, and found that working with the Society was the best way to properly perform such explorations. She has a quick tongue and a quick temper to match.

4 people marked this as a favorite. |
Note to self: Muster sheet complete. Full table. CP 12. 4/6 exploration mode complete.
Note to players: I work in an emergency department. Prior to the pandemic, this would have been a chill period of time. If I disappear for more than a 24 hour period, something bad is happening to someone. If I disappear for more than 5 days, which is shorter than the typical wait period, contact the forum moderators for a replacement GM as that would be extremely aberrant for me.

Gameplay is now open, in case anyone's dot has expired.

Victus of Pangolais |
Thanks Victus - exactly what I had in mind. Will save that for later!
Np, and phew! I was worried since I haven't looked at the metal violin before. Now if you had said cello, i would've easily pulled out Apocalyptica
Gurnk |
Sorry to all on the delay. I've had a medical issue flare up, and we're still determining what the exact cause is. I was in quite a bit of pain yesterday, so I didn't worry about posting here. Thank you for understanding.
GM Blake |
Apologies. I forgot to tell you guys I was flipping to nights this weekend so likely wouldn’t be able to update. You’re moments from the end so go ahead and post your downtime activities.
Katerina Villasani |
Oh, okay, that's no biggie.
Upon getting back to Sakakabe, Katerina returns to what she's best at: making deals in the marketplaces.
Diplomacy(via Bargain Hunter): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Zhao Kang |
earn income, lore herbalism: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Will use the following boon from Absalom Initiation:
□ Society Connections (Downtime): Your connections with leaders within the Pathfinder Society help you find opportunities, both new missions and support for your other endeavors. Check the box that precedes this boon when you Earn Income during Downtime to attempt a task of level 3. If you critically fail the check, you still earn the result of a failure for that task.

Als, if there is an hour time after the end of the adventure, Kang would like to use Learn a Spell from the scroll of magic missile he got as a school item.
learn a spell, arcana: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19 ==> Success, and cost 2gp
Landitho |
Landitho will do what she does best - violin.
Performance: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
Zenobia of Whistledown |
Pathfinder Lore: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Victus of Pangolais |
Scribing Lore Task Level 0 DC 14: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Task Level 0 Failure. 0.08gp

Success Summary
Retrieved the relic and didn't TPK (primary success)
2 of 3: positive impression of the villagers + host at least one spirit (secondary success)
Let me know if there are any problems. I have a system, but it's not fool proof.
GM's character earn income: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Victus of Pangolais |
Looks good, thanks for running!
Gurnk |
Looks like it was just my back having a days long cramp. Something was terribly out of place. Chiropractor helped out a bit, but gave me a scare saying it COULD be gallstones. I'm glad it was the one taken care of via muscle relaxers and not an expensive surgery.
Landitho |
Thank you! It was fun! I'm going to find some violin clips for my next PbP with her to really inspire everyone.
Also, I realized that Landitho is trying to learn a new language. She has the Off-Hours Study Grand Archive boon slotted and will be doing that instead of Earn Income.
Is it too late to switch?

Will use the following boon from Absalom Initiation:
□ Society Connections (Downtime): Your connections with leaders within the Pathfinder Society help you find opportunities, both new missions and support for your other endeavors. Check the box that precedes this boon when you Earn Income during Downtime to attempt a task of level 3. If you critically fail the check, you still earn the result of a failure for that task.
GM, was using the above boon to Earn Income. Task level 3 success should be 5sp per day, so total of 4gp?
GM Blake |
Apologies. I missed that in my sleep deprived state--who am I kidding, I probably still would have missed it. I'll correct your sheet today with Landitho's.
