Welcome one and all to the discussion section of my Outpost III game. This game is currently full but there are plenty of other games available over on the Outpost III signup sheet.
If you are signed up for this game or have come here via my mustering request, go ahead and fill out the information on page one and two of the Slides for the scenario.
Outpost III begins March 30th. The gameplay thread is now open for character introduction and pre-scenario mustering, hop on over there once you fill out your discussion info.
Glad to have you all here. You are welcome to discuss group organization in discussion or go have some RP in gameplay. The actual scenario doesn't start at the lodge. I created a scene for you all to use if you want for introductions, character descriptions and general in character chatter since we can't officially start until the beginning of the convention.

Hey all. Raini is fragile, so tries to stay back and support. Sasha, his panther animal companion, likes to rough it up in melee.
I have a healing staff and 2 scrolls of healing. I also have stabilize and some potions of healing.
I'll be happy to hold scrolls of healing if anyone has any, such as from Pathfinder Training schools.

Losseyel has a melee weapon and can protect people nearby with Protective Ward, so she's okay with close combat but shouldn't be at the very head of the line.
Welp, the PlayDisCon game Losseyel is in has slowed down a bunch over the last couple weeks, and it looks like we're not going to finish the final encounter in time. Please feel free to look for a replacement player. Sorry about this.
Oh wow, that really sucks. Sorry it moved so slowly but thank you for the update! We'll look for a sixth.
Yes please, go ahead and override Losseyal's entry. Thanks for joining!
Alright, I'm skimming everyone's profiles to set the initiatives for everyone (based upon their exploration activity listed) and looking for possible secret checks I may need to make. Take a look at the initiative block on page two and let me know if I have it correct.
Elora still needs to post her header information.
I also need to see Duma's and Arlo's character sheet, either via a link or just cut/paste the whole thing into your profiles.
The next step in gameplay will be the start of the mission, which will be posted in about 24 hours.
I'm happy to help with formatting of anything or with any general questions. We will roll for downtime near the end of the scenario, so don't worry about that stuff now.

My character sheet is updated. GM TOP, please let me know if there is anything else you would like to see on the sheet. This is -almost- my first online PF2 game (I did play a quest once with a different character). I'm also a bit rusty at PF2, having played Arlo last Fall and none since.
I have all my points in "spells," so I'll likely be taking a lesser healing potion and a Mage Armor scroll.
Arlo will be slotting the Touched by the Storm general boon from #1-04, granting cold resistance 1 and electricity resistance 1.
All of that looks good enough for me, thanks for the quick responses!
Arlo's post reminded me of something else (this is only my 2nd game GM'd for pfs2 so I'm still working details out). Could everyone list their slotted boons? Remember, you get your first faction champion boon for free and I expect some of you won't be able to fill up all the slots yet.
Faction:
Advanced:
Generic:
Generic:
Generic:
Slotless:
Arlo doesn't need to do this, since he covered his slotted boons (I'm assuming Vigilant Seal Champion as well) in his last post.
And remember all, some of us are super new to PbP and some are new to PFS2. There aren't really any bad questions. I've played and GM'd a ton on PbP. I've played a ton of PFS2 games and have GM'd one game so far, so I've run across most of the questions anyone has. I expect some of the players are at least as experienced as I.
I'll give y'all 3-4 more hours to finish up the play then move us along. I don't want this to drag down our excellent pace.
Good work so far!
The battle map is huge. I'd suggest zooming in a bit to get a better view.
Today was quite busy. I’m wiped out and can’t get to my computer. I’ll get the results of all the combat actions figured out and post in the morning (about 12 hrs from now). It looks like most of you have a solid grasp on pfs2 rules, which is excellent.
I'm good with allowing you to bot her, as long as we agree on a basic outline of what her character would do. I concur 100% that this fight shouldn't be taken lightly. PFS1 allowed me to throw a player in delay for several rounds when they weren't able to post on about 80% of the fights with no risk to the group. PFS2 is... a lot better balanced.
So I'm thinking that her basic goals would be to get the kitty into the fight and then shoot her bow from range with hunt prey up.

Exactly my plan as I looked at her character sheet!
I will post in a few hours if still needed.
That works for me, thanks!
It appears I may have incorrectly applied the weakness before the save instead of after the save. It would make a tiny difference, but I think would just confuse everyone to try to retcon at this point. Carry on!
Alright, no more combats. Just a few bits of roleplay, maybe some skill checks and then the final report back at the lodge. But don't think this part isn't important. Fame and Prestige often rely upon actions taken at the end of a session when wrapping things up.
Now we can go ahead and do some earn income rolls.
The basics of Earn Income can be summed up as this. Roll a Single Trained Lore, Craft or Perform check. The DC's are based upon the Tier of the task attempted and one can usually only attempt a task of their level -2 (Tier 0 minimum). A Tier Zero DC is 14, Tier One 15 and so on.
Kalderaan appears to be the only one who can attempt Tier 1, everyone else is at Tier 0.
Then, depending on your results, you just look at this table and multiply the rewards by the number of days of downtime. For a scenario, this would be normally eight days. A field commissioned character would get twelve days. Also, anyone who promised to help the goblin king will have to use four days of their downtime to assist him and can't earn any income during those four days.
If anyone is attempting to craft something with their downtime instead, the rules are a slight bit more complicated.
Yup, Nice Roll Chomper!
Three earn income rolls complete, three to go. I'll start on all your chronicles, but will need those rolls before I can finish.
If you were the one (maybe?) who spent some of your downtime with the goblins you just lose four days of it so would roll as normal and only multiple the results by four instead of eight.
You are welcome Chomper, I enjoyed it when I played it too.
