[ACO] PF2e 03-06: Struck By Shadows (P2) (Inactive)

Game Master UncleFroggy

Hello! Welcome to my table. Before we start, please do the following:

Please complete the macros linked at the top of the page. This will be used for initiative and secret rolls.

Please also post your token to the slides and post your position in the marching order. The slides are also linked at the top of the page.

As per the Organized Play Foundation Community Standards, each player must decide if they will allow their characters to be damaged by friendly fire (usually via splash damage). In keeping with the “Explore, Report, Cooperate” motto of the Pathfinder Society, engaging in non-consensual character-versus-character conflict is prohibited. While accidental friendly fire happens due to missed attack rolls or other factors, players must obtain the consent of other players before deliberately including fellow PCs in damaging effects. This rule does not apply in situations where a character is not acting of their own free will, such as if they’re being mind-controlled by an NPC and forced to attack a fellow Pathfinder.

Argoni checking in. He's a bomber, so the splash damage question is for real. I do have a Backfire Mantle is someone is very concerned.

"Hiya Argoni! Fill out the paperwork well. I hear the new guy's a real charmer..."

Will do a proper IC introduction later, but excited to see a few names Zenith has played with before!

Zenith is OK with splash damage so long as it doesn't put them in particular peril, such as they are already dying, it would knock them into dying, etc.

For marching order I put zenith in front as they probably have one of the highest AC's (heavy armor + potency rune) but if other people want to be in the front then go for it. Zenith has decent move speed and can strike from range so being in the middle/back also works. Basically, feel free to move Zenith elsewhere if you want their spot on the marching order slide.

Just try not to get too splashy :-)

All filled out.

I am good with splash damage as well.

Purchases:
Cloak of Repute 90 GP
Healer's Gloves 80 GP

If you have glyphs, go ahead and hand them out.

Splash damage is fine. Done with Macros and Slides.

Mirtha eagerly fills out the paperwork, carefully examining the lines for any loopholes or unexpected implications.

Legal Lore: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

"Excellent....They are finally bringing some much needed organization to the Pathfinder Society."

Mirtha signs, then initials the line waiving her right to press charges over incidental damages that may occur in the field.

And she is also going to purchase a lesser antidote and a lesser anti-plague elixir, which cost 3 gp a piece.

you want to start before the 17th? We might be able to finish this before 20 November... You can go ahead and introduce yourselves in the Gameplay thread -- there won't be time once the fun starts... :)

btw, anyone with glyphs feel free to give them out.

4 glyphs-- 4 lowest level PC's (Avery, Mirtha, Ithuriel, and Aldonza) get an extra hero point! added to the slides

3 Glyphs so looks like everyone will start with 2 Hero Points.

I’m sorry, I didn’t realize that I’ve played this scenario before with a different PC. Would I be able to repeat it, or should I drop?

If you have a repeat boon, you may repeat it. However this scenario is not repeatable.

I don’t see it as purchasable with Achievement Points, so I guess I don’t have it. My apologies again. Have fun everyone!

Klank is here. I'll get things filled out and read up on what's happened so far.

Klank is a tanky shield fighter. Splash is ok, he's actually got 2 fire resistance so that may come in handy.

Glad to have you, Kernal! Rhaegal says hi. I'll try to keep the splash to a minimum.

Well, you can watch the fight in progress. There's popcorn in the bar and some stout in the fridge...

Mm sounds wonderful.

Just as an FYI: I'll be out of town on Wed and Thur without computer access so I can't jump into things likely until Friday.

I’ll bot you then. Which means you’ll go in first as the tank… ;)

Well, next to Zenith anyway :) Welcome aboard!

We actually might finish this on time!

Mirtha is the quickest to beat the Library encounter. Both groups on Paizo did it without having to go in and dig the kayals out... My Discord group had to make a mess in the library... My first group succeeded in talking them down, though they did it one at a time...

I was super excited because I never actually thought I'd get to use that feat! It actually came up!

Just checking in GM.

Hope everyone has a fun Halloween today, or did over the weekend.

at the rate this party is tearing through the villains, we might actually finish by the 20th. :)

Noice!

if you'd like your downtime to be part of your chronicles, go ahead and roll them now.

Legal Lore: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

DC 15 Circus Lore: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Underworld Lore DC 19 (task level 4): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23
Whoo, 6.4gp!

Crafting Earn Income, Assurance: 18 = 18

Klank is also Field commissioned so 50% more downtime:

Crafting Earn Income, Assurance: 18 = 18

I know I've been told this repeatedly, but it hasn't likely fully stuck, but the standard earn income DC is based on the table with the task DC as character lvl -1? Or is it lvl -2?

Being 4th level means either a DC16 or DC18? I also want to be sure my assurance hits the DC.

Lvl 4 = 16

you're fine.

Character level - 2 unless you have something like a feat (experienced smuggler w/ underworld lore) or boon that says otherwise (Horizon Hunter's Storied Talent). There are some others too, those are just examples.

I'll do zenith's downtime on my own once i figure out what i want to do. thanks!

I don't know a really good way to draw a burst template on the map, but when you draw a circle anything that is not fully inside it is outside the area of effect on a burst. So it should hit all three goons and not hit any of the allies. I did also provide an example of the template as well so you can see what I mean.

I added a basic 20ft burst to where you had drawn your circle. great placement!

Ok, I have to ask, where do you get a translucent template like that?

I made them and they can be found here (link). Feel free to use. They are pretty basic and if i had to redo them I would've done them differently but they work. Should cover all the CRB areas listed, plus i think I added a burst or two for widened fireball/etc. I know I've seen some GM's with much more fancy templates

I like your templates more.. :)

My group on Discord were trying to intimidate Green almost every round and were wondering why Green wasn't paying attention to them! :)

Chronicles have been emailed. If you're using gmail, please check your spam folder. Game has also been reported for Gameday.

Chronicle looks good. Thank you for running the game!

Mine looks good too. Thanks for running, GM!

Thanks. I'll check over my chronicle when I get home tonight.

Thanks everyone!

Thanks for running!

Thnks for running! This was a fun scenario.

Chronicle looks good.

Just for clarity though, his day job check gold has been rolled into the gold on the character sheet correct?

I used whatever you indicated on rpg chronicles. Is there an error?

I don't think so, I just didn't know if you added in the downtime gold to the scenario gold.

Total gold listed on the chronicle was 67.6g.

Everything looks good! Thank you so much for GMing!
