[Outpost III / PFS2 Luke_Parry] 1-14: Lions of Katapesh (1-4) (Inactive)

Game Master Luke_Parry

Dotting for fun and profit.

Ready and waiting!

Reporting for duty.

Hey just confirming we are stating this on the 30th (US Time) so 31st here in Aus?

Hello all!

Milady curtsies...

Happy to be playing.
Thank you for running this Luke Parry and thanks for having me.

re. when we start, the post that went up a couple days ago gave, I believe, midnight GMT, just as we pass into March 30, as the official starting moment.
Thus 7pm, and earlier, on March 29 in the U.S..
So that'd be the same day in Australia, but later in the day, like 10 pm on the 30th I guess.

Eh...yeah I am here.

Here. Just need to level up

I am here too. This is my first game on Paizo though (I usually play on Discord). Anything I have to pay attention to in particular?
(I assume I have to fill out the character form here at Paizo?)

@shiira not really it's all straight forward, your info looks good to me, there are some tips below where you post with "How to format your text" for OOC or spoiler stuff that can be really handy.

Also depending on how the GM runs initiative (hopefully block initiative) generally you can just post your action in combat and they can retroactively apply it assuming that it's still a valid action.

Basic PbP rules are min 1 post per day, even if your not a talky character it's still nice to post a comment even OOC so people know you're still around.

edit: oh you also only have 30mins (i think) to edit a post after submitting it, it's good to double-check in case you missed something like action or adding a modifier

@Gerfanin: The editing limit is 1 hour for your posts.

Ok, thanks. And sorry I didn't reply here earlier. I actually had a look here several times last week, but I didn't see the Discussion thread. ;-)

Just checking, we each start with a hero point yes? Also, I always forget this, I get to hand out an extra point at the start to someone as I have reached my first glyph.

I choose Gerfanin!

"Well, thank you for jostling an old gal's memory!", says Milady!

I too forgot. And since I also have a Glyph as a GM, and can give one Hero Point to a player at the start of the game, I will let the Gods smile on Shiira, and hand her this extra hero point-- may it help you in your first game here on Paizo!

"Thanks for your support Milady" :)

@GM Luke_Parry what tier are we currently playing in?

You are 19 Challenge Points, making you Tier 3-4.

So that means lvl 1's get a lvl bump right?

Mentorship

To provide low level players a more fun and fair experience, PCs whose level equals the adventure’s base level (such as a 3rd-level PC playing in a Tier 3–6 scenario) gain a temporary boost when playing in the high subtier called a level bump (see Applying Adjustments) to represent the higher-level PCs’ mentorship and support.

You should also remind higher level PCs to slot any mentor boons they may have purchased.

Do any lvl 3's have any mentor boons?

Correct :-)

I am only level 2, but I can purchase and slot Skillful Mentor, and increase the level bump to 2 for all Skill Checks.

Interesting. I wasn't aware of that. That means my skill rolls were both one point higher. Since one was a 14 that might make a difference?

Thanks Gerfanin for pointing that out.

OK, if we have level bumps then Yunko will slot Rugged Mentor. I have Horizon Hunters Champion, Infernal Detonation, Rugged Mentor, Promotional Clothing and Hireling slotted.

Rugged Mentor increases the level bump to saves to +2. You can only benefit from two mentor boons so if we have more you need to pick which you want to apply.

Will see if anyone else has a Mentor Boon, if they do, I let people choose.

If only us two, I will purchase and slot Skilful Mentor.

Great thanks guys, will take the rugged mentor and skilful mentor bonuses.

Yes, thanks. Me, too. (Which would make my second Athletics check a 16 then)

I have Rugged Mentor to offer as well. But there is already one at the table.

Okay, done, I removed 2 Fame and slotted Skillful Mentor (I had my 3rd regular boon slot empty anyhow).

Great. That helps a lot. Thank you again.

Just realised that I completely forgot to pick my scool training items. My default is normally two scrolls of heal (spell level 1 and 2).

Same here. But I also don't really know what to take. This is my first Society scenario with that character and I don't see anything that really fits.. I think I would take the lesser Leaper's elixir and maybe a lesser antidote.

Alright, chronicle sheet links have been sent out via PM.

Please download them when you get the chance :-)

And thank you for the Chronicle!
All good.

Be SAFE, all!
And roll high...

Thanks for that game all.

Yunko uses Bargain Hunter to use Diplomacy for his earn income. Task level 1, DC15

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

And he gets chased out of every shop he goes in to.

Shiira also tries to make some money during downtime. Unfortunately she is not very skilled in money making, but maybe she'll find someone who needs her expertise in Undead or Scouting.

Earn Income Lore: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24 (I assume the level bump still applies here)

Thanks for the game everyone!

But is it just me or has that been really short for a scenario?

Several of the 'repeatables' tend to run short; this is a particularly egregious example of that (Tarnbreaker's Trail, for example, also tends to run scandalously short, and IRL, I usually bring a quest or two to 'pad out' sessions).

Underworld Lore, Earn Income: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
