PFS2 - 1-01 The Absalom Initiation by GM redeux (Inactive)

Game Master redeux

Hi all,

Welcome and looking forward to playing with all of you!

Here is a checklist of things to do for us to get started:

1. Click my profile (link) and read through my expectations. It should all be basic stuff, but to help avoid any confusion I find it best to have expectations stated so we can all be on the same page. Note that by continuing you agree to the expectations, including posting once within 24 hours of an actionable post (such as combat).

2. Fill out the muster sheet found in the campaign heading. This is so I have the correct info to report at the end of the scenario.

3. Click on the Maps link in the campaign header and fill out the following:
• Slide 2: Post your character token and fill out your PC name and the PC’s preferred pronouns.
• Slide 3: Fill out your default exploration activity.

4. Make an introduction post in-character in the gameplay thread

5. If you have any questions or need any help then please don’t hesitate to ask in the discussion thread or via private message.

Thanks!

Hi is my character sheet okay? I based it off another one but can change to your requested style if you want :D

Looks good! Thanks!

My character sheet comes straight out of Herlab online, cos they do 1st level for free. Plus all the other bits I added, hope it's OK with you.

I play her as a bit of a stuck up person, but she does work with the group, even if mainly dwarves ... ;-) What else would you expect from an elf noble ...

Yup, looks good. I am not super picky as long as it is accessible and legible. Thanks!

We'll want to start discussing the Marching Order Slide 4 for when it gets time for actual map exploring

Let the party know your preference, or lack thereof

Tsu is all about melee, so closer to the front is best for her.

Isra can bring up the rear.

Player Name > Zachary Seldon
Character Name > Knab Moghadam
Society ID > #2366390-2005
Faction > Grand Archive
Downtime > Underworld Lore > 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22 = 5 copper x 8 Days = 0.40 gold
...
Network Items > Minor Healing Potion and Feather Token (Ladder)
Faction Boon > Grand Archive Champion (free)
Generic Boons > Sand Slide (#1-Q1)

Rikk is fairly tough but doesn't mind going second in the order as he has a bow and a fast dinosaur.

Hornietelle will be near the back, she has little offensive prowess, other than Sting.

If Knab is scouting in front of us, then Hornietelle will follow behind Tsu. Otherwise last but one, in a line for 5ft walks, and for 10ft in the second row, behind Tsu.

She has little defence, so would need some protection.

Have placed Rikki and Tsu is front for 10ft, with Knab and Hornitelle in second row, with Isra at the back, on the slides.

If you don't think I've interpreted the discussion above correctly, then reshuffle the order of the slide.

I imagine Tsu is happy with whatever lets her protect Hornietelle :=)

Network Items > Frost Vial, Lesser + Healing Potion, Minor
Boons Slotted > Verdant Wheel Champion

Network Items > Holy Water, Scroll of Magic Weapon
Boons Slotted > Grand Archive Champion, Sand Slide [reaction]

Network Items > Holy Water, Lesser Antidote
Boons Slotted > Grand Archive Champion, Touched by the Storm

Network Items>Minor Healing Potion x2
Boons Slotted>Horizon Hunter Champion

apologies, i ran out of time this morning and am needing to do HQ for paizocon for next ~6 hours, I'll make an update as soon as able

No worries, enjoy HQing :-)

Busy weekend, online con and then family, will post tomorrow.

Hi everyone, thanks for playing and apologies for being a bit on the long end of things. I hope you had fun and I certainly enjoyed playing with each of you. Excellent roleplaying from everyone :)

If everyone can take a moment to double check their info on the muster sheet that'd be appreciated. You'll notice I added a few extra, optional fields. If you're wanting me to pre-fill any info on your chronicle like starting faction rep, starting xp/gold/fame, etc then go ahead and add that to the chronicle sheet when doing downtime. Otherwise I'll assume you're OK with just getting the basic info filled out (rep gained, xp/gold/fame gained, etc).

I'll get the chronicles out in a day or two once downtime is resolved. In the meantime I'll share the following in case you have another game to play this weekend at ConCurrent (virtual tabletop) or something here is what will be on the chronicles:

Faction Gained: 4
XP Gained: 4
Gold Earned: 14gp plus downtime
Fame Earned: 4

Downtime earn income (using any Lore/performance/crafting)
Level 1's use Task level 0 - DC 14

Crit fail: 0gp
Fail: 0.08gp
Success: 0.40gp
Crit Success: 1.60gp

This will all be on your chronicle so don't worry about it unless you need the written details sooner

You're also welcome to do other downtime activities other than earn income, just let me know what you want to do or if you need help.

TLDR - check the muster sheet for your correct info. and post your downtime activity.

GM earn income: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Earn Income: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

Earn Income - Scribing Lore: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

Yes, thanks so much for the extremely enjoyable game, GM redeux and everyone!

A question about Isra's affliction: How does that get resolved? He's still at Stage 1 of the Zombie Rot. Do I use up downtime days to make saves?

Oh, sorry Isra i meant to post about that in my conclusion post but forgot! :(

Basically Pathfinder Society has resources to remove most negative conditions that aren't permanent. I'll put the full text below, but zombie rot is covered as being removed by the society (for free) so you're good. This is kind-of why i was trying to gently push the group into not resting before the 4th scenario because I didn't want you to die

Also Knab - I have your downtime marked down from when we first started in case you forgot.

OK, cool. Didn't realize that the Pathfinder Society would take care of it. I wanted him to rest an extra day to try to get rid of the Zombie Rot so he wouldn't be stuck with it after the adventure. Had it not been for his last hero point, he would have died. That was close! :)

Lore: Scribing: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Ouch! Apparently she was scribing with a dull crayon or something. Or just still distracted by Hornietelle :=)

Hornietelle will perform holy rituals and religious services.

Performance - oral 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Hi all, real quick the game has been reported and chronicles have been linked in the campaign header as well as here. Go ahead and download them for your records

I'm running a few slots this weekend so haven't had a time to read through rest of gameplay but I'll do so and add any responses needed. I'll give it a day or two from that before marking this inactive.

Thanks again for playing!
