Hello and welcome again, Pathfinders. Please go ahead and fill out the following:
Dayjob Roll:
School Items:
Slotted Boons:
As usual, help me out with the Chronicle Sheet admin and fill out the Sign-up sheet.
It's good to have you all here and welcome once again! As usual it's a pleasure. Please feel free to RP in the gameplay thread your trip to Iobaria while we wait for Inzo. I forgot to mention that while I typed in the big walls of text.
Good to have you and Amsu aboard!
If you have the leopard, I believe you're actually very close to level 3 given that the Plaguestone chronicle sheet gives you a full level in XP if I'm not mistaken.
@Inzo, the Scenarios are:
#9-18: Scourge of the Farheavens, followed by,
#10-12: Breath of the Dragonskull.

I'm using the "can also give this character sheet to another character, take a copy of this boon with them" text so I didn't jump too far up :)
@Bert, could you please check the drive and see if both your chronicle sheets are correct?

Also, GM note: Orla made a purchase from the Pathfinder Society before departing to Iobaria.
My character link has been updated, including my spell choices for this scenario.
I'm also going to slot my Promotional Service Award (Campaign Coin) boon in my Promotional Slot to give the group a bonus wildcard Hero Point (i.e. I get a second Hero Point to start the adventure, but I can gift it to any one who needs one during the course of the adventure.)
Thank you Orla. Already added it to the Hero Point pool. Nice new domain spell to boot. It's nice to see characters have more things to buy, boons and toys to play with.
Is that 5go for the entire party?
Yup, she's not rich. :(
@Inzo, permissions are as Anyone with the link can edit. I don't know if anyone else is having issues.
Also today is really hectic because of work, so I might not be able to post until late night.
Please ignore the original initiative tracker, I placed only the group of enemies, but not the individual creatures, as well as omitting the forest fire.
Smouldering Forest Fire!
A successful DC 13 Athletics, Nature, or Survival check from an adjacent square is sufficient to smother one 5-foot-square of fire; each attempt is an Interact action. Dousing the flames automatically extinguishes one or more sections of fire, with no check. Water typically clears a 5-foot square if the amount is small (such as that from create water or hydraulic push). Larger amounts of water, such as a full bucket, typically douse a 10-foot-by-10-foot area (or 4 squares in some other shape). Throwing a bucket of water on flames requires an Interact action. A waterskin doesn’t contain enough water to put out even 1 square of fire. Cold can also put out fire, but only if the cold can affect an area; cold is usually less effective than water, so a frost vial typically puts out only 1 square of fire, and ray of frost is ineffective.
Any creature that ends its turn next to the flames takes fire damage and any creature within the flames takes even more fire damage (DC 13 basic Reflex save for both)
Since we are dealing with plants causing fires Hammick will purchase 4 more water skins for 2 SP. So he has a total of 5 on him.
Sure, just keep in mind that you'll need to use 4 of them to douse a square of fire on the map.

That's a fine idea. I'll update the sign-up sheet. You all have 8 SP left.
@Nazgub, is your character inspiring courage through the classic disco hit, "Burn, leshy burn" by any chance?
Thank you. Completely forgot about them.
The thing is, until you thin out the plum leshys, the odds are literally mathematically against you just by the sheer number of attacks even with MAP.
I'd love to try PaizoCon Online, but I've never used a VTT plus my toddler is a handful, making PbP easier as I don't have to commit time I might not have.
Oh god. I think you guys are sooo going to hate these leshys after they die.

I'm awfully confused.
GM, what is going on with the map? You were posting at the same time as I was.
Whose turn is it? I figured that out.
Also, as mentioned in my previous post, I do not need to make a Reflex save against the fire because I did not end MY turn next to the fire.
Also, are you sure you got Orla with that second poison burst radius? If it's a 30 ft radius, then the plum leshy burst didn't get Orla.
[dice=Fortitude Save]1d20+5
Writing here to keep things clean.
1) Yes, you're right about the fire. You put out the fire, then the fire spread next to you and that's where I goofed. You don't make the save until the end of your turn. I simply went on autopilot there. It is mentioned in the Scenario as well, so I believe you fully because it's my mistake. Please ignore doing the Fire Reflex save. Sorry about that.
2) It is annoying as heck, but you do have to roll for it until you actually Crit. Succeed or Fail and then get over the condition. After that the condition no longer affects you.
Bitter Harvest When a plum leshy hits with their rotten fruit Strike, the target must attempt a DC 15 Fortitude save.
Critical Success The target is unaffected and becomes temporarily immune to all plum leshys’ bitter harvest for 1 hour.
Success The target is unaffected.
Failure The target is sickened 1. Once it succeeds at its
save to recover from the sickened condition, it is immune to all plum leshys’ bitter harvest for 1 hour.
Critical Failure As failure, plus the target also takes a –1
penalty on all saves to recover from the sickened
condition for 1 hour.
3) It's Bert's turn right now.
|----|----|----|----|
Please don't forget your school items and any other alternatives to healing you have. This is a tough encounter.
Actually, everyone, looking at the map more closely, I believe there is something I hadn't considered. The trees. The standing trees. Those provide natural cover, moving the poison burst template around, it looks like Orla is fine from both poison bursts, but the others are in the open and in line of sight, or effect I should say, of the explosion.
@Bert, don't forget you can use Shield Block for that crit. you received.
Will post soon, but as a player I'd just use the Shield Block on the first attack that hits, since I don't know at that point that the one after that is going to be a crit.
Whichever you prefer, Bert. I appreciate that honesty as with PbP reactions are a bit more fiddly to know when players want them to go off.
So I'll restore the 9 hit points of poison damage?
Yup, that's right.

I think we're getting through them guys! Great work Orla on getting the fires out. I was going to do the same, but AC actually slows me down quite a lot. I wanted to let Amsu fight and me put out fires but it's a while away!
I'm just sticking with choppy choppy and hitting leshy that are attacking Bert since he's taking the brunt of the damage thus far.
This is a good comment as Persistent Damage can down parties in The Fall of Plaguestone and it's a real bummer when a PC is unconscious and dying and well, dies from it. So I thank you for the reminder that the damage happens regardless, because bleeding persistent damage just downed a player recently in another game and I just plumb forgot about how it worked in this game. You're right, he does take the damage regardless of whether he passes the flat check or not; however, the damage occurs at the end of the PCs turn, not at the end. The worst thing about it is that you have to roll the damage dice each time you take that type of damage, meaning you could take good chunks of HP on the whim of the dice gods.
Source Core Rulebook pg. 451 (link)
Persistent damage is a condition that causes damage to recur beyond the original effect. Unlike with normal damage, when you are subject to persistent damage, you don’t take it right away. Instead, you take the specified damage at the end of your turns, after which you attempt a DC 15 flat check to see if you recover from the persistent damage. See the Conditions Appendix on pages 618–623 for the complete rules regarding the persistent damage condition.
Source Core Rulebook pg. 621 (link)
Persistent damage comes from effects like acid, being on fire, or many other situations. It appears as “X persistent [type] damage,” where “X” is the amount of damage dealt and “[type]” is the damage type. Instead of taking persistent damage immediately, you take it at the end of each of your turns as long as you have the condition, rolling any damage dice anew each time. After you take persistent damage, roll a DC 15 flat check to see if you recover from the persistent damage. If you succeed, the condition ends.
This might be a good opportunity to see some Assisted Recovery if possible. I've only seen it once in my games.
It should be my apologies. I'm the one who forgot you take the damage first then roll the flat-check. ;) The system is quite new to all of us.
