Sethran's 1-05 First Mandate (Inactive)

Game Master Sethran

Hi All! Welcome to a Playthrough of SFS 1-05:First Mandate!

Standard etiquette of one post per day and one over the Weekend, if you will find yourself away for any reason please let us know and have botting instructions in your Signature.

I am based in the UK and will aim to check several times during the day here, just so you're aware of any timezone differences ^^.

I will generally roll Initiative and Group Perceptions as needed just to keep
things smooth, if you are required to make a saving throw, please make it the first roll in your post.

Happy to answer any Questions!

A tall well-armed Kasathan strides in and speaks into your mind.

Hello! My player has played this scenario already, but then realized he wanted it for this character to do the story arc instead. My player should be receiving a chronicle sheet any day now that may give him enough rep with Jadnura to use a replay. He has been eagerly awaiting a chance to play this scenario again with this character. Thank you for your consideration.

That’s no worries ^^, just fill in the details when you have it

I'm interested...I have an L3 hit-and-run soldier of an Acquisitive bent.

Ok, so just a small thing about Oda. She is mute and communicates by her hand held comms unit (she facebook messages people). In combat she stomps and points and otherwise tries to make her intentions known. She has a damaged larynx so cannot speak. Do with that as you will RP-wise.

Thanks for running! Full character sheet in profile.

edit to add, time zone is Toronto, I am limited to posting in the evenings (after 5pm).

If I play another game with my Kai Starchaser character during PaizoCon he should get enough rep for me to use a replay. If not, then he won't. So that is my status in terms of being able to play with this character.

However, I'll go ahead and post my info.

I'll need to purchase professional tools before the next session to get that +13 on the day job (instead of a +9)

Cool, so we currently have:

Patterson LXII - Soldier
Oda Umox - SOldier
Kat5e - Mechanic
Hadir- Soldier

Farol has played this one so is bowing out. Will post looking to see about any more interest.

I'm happy to start anytime but with Paizocon next week I am happy if it goes a bit slower if it goes that way, or whether we hold off until after the con. Any preferences?

I have no intention to play at Paizocon. I am not in the US and the timezones don't suit me.

Hadir will not be available until next Thursday night when I get enough rep with my other character to use a replay for this scenario

I am very interested in playing this scenario, though I won't be able to play until after PaizoCon. If you don't mind waiting until then I'll happily get on board, if not no worries :)

I can start whenever, just wanted to have a game lined up.

Likewise...no preference either way.

Cool, will start after Paizocon then ^^

Sethran, I would love to play - I'm in a couple different SF campaigns but am not yet setup in SFS. Can I have a day to figure that out and post my character for consideration?

Hi Chiaiese ^^ - You would be number six and are very welcome. We will be starting after Paizocon so likely 1st June so you will have time to get set up.

I'm in the Seattle area, so USA west coast, but I check all of my games several times daily. Cheers!

Hadir will not be available until next Thursday night when I get enough rep with my other character to use a replay for this scenario

As promised I am now available.

Looks like we're waiting on CaptainBacon, which is no problem.

Is Rilynn going to be OK playing out of subtier?

Ok meaning, is she going to die easily? It's possible. I haven't played any of these adventures, but with the soldiers on this squad hopefully she'll find a place in the back row to shoot from. If the concern is the cleanup step of having to buy a raise dead spell, I get that. What are you thinking? I don't want to slow you all down.

I'm not worried about how the party would handle it; I'm not an SFS GM, and I don't know whether playing out of tier is allowed.

The scenario specifically states "for levels 1-4." Is that in conflict with a tier 0 character? On the flip side, isn't there a Society Shepherd boon that would be available to you if I'm along for the ride?

Sorry for the delay and thanks for waiting, my character is now free from PaizoCon!

Awesome! I hope all that partook enjoyed Paizocon and I am happy to get going! I will put up a scene setting post to give you chance to introduce yourselves before beginning the briefing ^^.

As for Tiers - The Scenario is written for level 1-4 and so anyone can play as long as they are in level.

The subtier is then decided based on the levels of the party If I have it right levels are currently:

Oda - 3
Patterson - 3
Kat5e - 3
Hadir - 4
Rilyn - 1

Captainbacon, what level is Edward? Can't see a character in the aliases named Edward to check so I guess 1?

Will work out tier with Captain's level, if they are 1 then we are 2.5 meaning you choose whether to play up or down ^^.

Map Slides have also been added to the campaign info so you should see a link ^^. If you could place your chosen Icon on Slide 2 as well as Initiative and Perception that would be grand

On rereading the Seeker of Knowledge boon, I'm not actually sure it lets *this* character replay *this* scenario. I'm verifying with the venture captains in Flaxseed station (and elsewhere)

EDIT: everyone on discord is confirming that I cannot use the replay for this character. I will have to bow out. Sorry for not finding this out sooner; I hadn't read the text for the boon in a long time and noticed this when I went to post the boon text in the thread.

GM, please mark me as inactive in the campaign

Please standby. I might have enough gm Credits for a replay

I'm tantalizingly close; 1 GM credit away. But alas, no GM replay for me. Enjoy the scenario everyone.

Captainbacon, what level is Edward? Can't see a character in the aliases named Edward to check so I guess 1?

Ah sorry, I forgot to put up the statblock, he is level 2. So I assume we are going to be playing up?

I'm tantalizingly close; 1 GM credit away. But alas, no GM replay for me. Enjoy the scenario everyone.

Shoot, that's a shame. Do you happen to run games on VTT? Maybe we could form a table to help you get that last GM credit?

I appreciate the sentiment, CaptainBacon! I did have a similar idea. Unfortunately I don't think I will have time for a VTT game until a weeknight this week. I don't think y'all will want to wait that long.

That is a Shame Hadir! Sorry about that, but will keep you in mind for the next time I run ^^.

With Hadir unfortunately unable to join we are at 2.4 APL so we will now be playing down.

So I was just informed that I won a replay boon. Will it mess everything up if I join y'all after all? Obviously it would change the tier.

No big deal if not; I can request someone else to run it.

GO for it ^^ - Just about to start the Party so perfect timing - Radazasm will have caught you up (after admonishing your tardiness :P) so go ahead and read the briefing and make a Culture, Diplomacy or Computers check regarding Zo! if you like ^^.

Will move on to the party after work (about 7 hours, so feel free to discuss if you're on before then ^^)

If I play another game with my Kai Starchaser character during PaizoCon he should get enough rep for me to use a replay. If not, then he won't. So that is my status in terms of being able to play with this character.
