Motteditor's PFS (2nd edition) PBP (Inactive)

Game Master motteditor

Hello, Pathfinders. Please post here if you're interested in playing. (Invitation only, please.)

Suza the tuba-playing bard would love to play!

Hi! I'll bring along Samar, my money-grubbing ranger. I've got a chronicle to apply to her before we get started, but otherwise she's good to go.

I'd love to join if you don't already have 6. Happy to step back, though, if you end up with a full table, as I've played this before.

I'm in. Depending on start time, I may have to play a pregen.

I've both played and run this one before.

Let's plan to start Monday if that works for everyone, so we have time to make characters? (If everyone is ready earlier, we can certainly start earlier.)

Dennis, you're welcome to join in.

If you haven't played PBP before, I strongly recommend Painlord's guide. I'm happy to answer any questions, of course, but urge you to read it.

For some of my personal game details:
* I'll be using Google Drawings for maps.
* For combat rounds, I like to do a full round at a time. I'll post initiative and ask everyone to post their actions, then resolve them in a single post. Please don't wait for someone else to post. I generally try to give you the benefit of the doubt when I can -- your target may be killed before you act, so I'll switch the best I can, etc. I will move folks around in initiative (delaying) if that makes it work better, but I do still resolve in an order, if that makes sense (so if someone moves into an area where someone else may cast sound burst, for example, I'll delay the move until after the spell; but I then will move that person's initiative). I'm sure I'll explain this again a bit when/if we get into combat in gameplay.
* This will be my first time doing 2e by PBP. I'm inclined to not do secret checks and rely on you to roleplay accurately. That means for example if you want to Recall Knowledge with your first action, you can, without having to worry about waiting until I resolve it to post further actions.

Let me know if anyone has any other questions, and holler when you're ready to get started. I've added a tracker to the links at the top (which is where I'll put the map link as well).

If you're looking for us to fill in that tracker, it's currently set as view only with that link.

Whoops. Fixed now!

Built myself a sorcerer for this, since all my other characters already have a Q1 credit. Here's Windkey Tuulen; I'll get his profile built out soon.

I'm interested. Like Dennis I've played this as well though, so I'm happy to step back as well if you get a full table.

All of this is thirded.

Looks like we're off to a good start. Going to give Thunderspirit a little more time to weigh in, and for you to keep role-playing.

As always, feel free to let me know when you're ready to advance. I know PBPs can kind of play loose and fast with time, but I hate to cut off role-play.

Tuulen boons:
- Horizon Hunters Champion
- Promotional Vestments

School of Spells requisitioned items:
- Scroll of heal
- Scroll of burning hands

Also, I have a GM glyph and so have an extra Hero Point to give out; I'll assign that to Grommfell.

Boons: Grand Archive champion, Promotional Vestments
School Items: Minor healing potion, feather token (ladder)

I also have a glyph and I offer an extra hero point to Samar.

Boons: Vigilant Seal Champion, Promotional Vestments
Field-Commissioned

Boons: Verdant Wheel Champion, Promotional Vestments
Spells School: minor healing potion, scroll of burning hands

Boons: Horizon Hunters Champion, Cryptid Scholar
Swords School: minor healing potion, minor healing potion

Boons: Promotional Vestments
Spells School: scroll of heal, lesser antidote

Sorry I've been so pokey typing Suza up! I'll do it this evening.

All right, she's set.

Map link is updated. It helps if you put the URL in and not just the code to indicate you're going to put a link in!

--

Plan to update tomorrow. Sorry, today got away from me a little bit.

Looks like you need to set permissions on that link. Right now it just takes me to a 'Request Access' page.

I'm marking various doors/drections on the map with symbols, so you can choose where to explore (i.e. "I want to check out the pink star area"). I can just have you go into each possibility as you arrive at it if you want, since this is PBP and dungeon-delving can be time-consuming.

Waiting on Grommfell.

A second later, it burns again as Windkey catches it -- and the other, aqua-wrapped, mummy in his spell. The spell catches both of them, the red mummy thrashing for a few moments before it crumbles into ash and embers. The aqua one -- its linens burning -- remains on its feet, however!

I just want to point out that my spell did bludgeoning damage instead of fire, in case a weakness made a difference there.

1. Step, 2. & 3. cast burning hands, but with air instead of fire (bludgeoning damage).

Unlike in 1st edition, I don't think I get the option to keep the original damage type on bloodline spells.

Thanks. I did add in their weakness, though it would have killed Red regardless.

We've just about finished up, everyone. If you'd like to make any earn income checks for when you get back, I'll start working on the chronicles as we get everything completed.

Mining Lore to Earn Income (Field Commissioned): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

Herbalism Lore: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Some herbs do grow in the desert, after all.

Performance: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Earn Income (Diplomacy): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Lore Scouting: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

Plane of Air Lore: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Thanks, all, I think that's the last post for this quest. I plan to get chronicles done by Friday (unless anyone needs/wants them sooner; let me know).

I'm also happy to GM another quest if people are interested. (No worries if not.)

I'm game. Still lots of quests I've not played

Thanks for running!

I've played all but the most recent 2, I believe. I would be happy to replay Quest 4, Port Peril Pub Crawl, again with this or another PC. I'd need a pregen for anything level 3 or above.

Thanks for GMing, motteditor! I, too, have several quests I can play.

I know there's a site I'm supposed to be able to check, but is it easier to list what folks are willing to play? I currently have 2, 3, 4, 6 and 9, but can buy other ones. (I've played 2-4 and enjoyed them all.)

My pfstracker.net profile is current (77280)

Tempting! But, I'm paring back my games a bit for the summer. I need to sit this next one out.

Thanks motteditor, that was fun. Like meloriel, I'm going to pare back my games through GenCon (I may have over-committed and have a fair about of prep to do), so I think I'd better sit the next one out.

My pfstracker.net profile is current (77280)

Same. (3601)

I also shouldn't start another one before Gen Con, but thank you for the fun game!

Hey all,

You can find your Chronicles here. I'm still newer at PFS GM'ing so please make sure you look them over and let me know if you see any errors.

--

I'll look over the pfstracker site and see what other quests are open; sounds like we'll have to add a player or two as well.

Looks good here!

Thanks, Jacob! This was fun!

Thanks for a fun game, everyone!

Chronicle looks good! Thanks for running!

Same here. Thanks!

I haven't forgotten you all. Like others, I'm caught up in the pre-GenCon crush, but will update after the convention. I'll mark this as inactive once I get everyone a chance to see this message (I'm assuming I can undo that later, though I've never actually tried before).
