[PFS2] 1-05 Trailblazer's Bounty (GM Watery Soup) (Inactive)

Game Master Watery Soup

FYI: As the owner, I can restore any previous version, so there's no way you can do permanent damage. I know what you did and what Zonk did and the exact minutes that you did it. I can restore the map to the way it was at 11:37 am on July 6 if I wanted. :)

I'll post close-ups of the small creatures in the sidebar. I used the "goblin rat" icon from the Pathfinder (1) Bestiary Box.

Okay. Thought I had royally flubbed it up. Sorry again.

It's called "bumping the map." I can assure you we have all done it.

Enjoy the process of learning this new way to play. I was new at this about two years ago. It's turned out to be a great way for me to stay with this game during this quarantine.

AND HEY! This is a fun group! Arlo would like to play with you all again. Maybe GM Water Soup can scare up another scenario that most or all of us could combine our powers to overcome.

There's an "Undo" button that I hit more often than any other button on any program on any platform.

If this is the first time you bumped the map, Thomas ... you are amazing. I think the first time I touched a map I bumped it. And probably the third to last thing that I did on the map was bump it (second to last: undo, last: whatever I intended to do).

---

We can talk about the next scenario after this encounter is more clearly not going to kill you all.

The ogre is listed as a Severe encounter.

Severe-threat encounters are the hardest encounters most groups of characters can consistently defeat. These encounters are most appropriate for important moments in your story, such as confronting a final boss. Bad luck, poor tactics, or a lack of resources due to prior encounters can easily turn a severe-threat encounter against the characters, and a wise group keeps the option to disengage open.

Before we enter the cave, can Zoosh have drunk a healing potion? I forgot he was injured.

Healing: 1d8 ⇒ 3

You guys rested with the orcs, you should have had Level+Con hit points back from a full night's rest.

That and the potion put me at full. Thanks!

Here's a thing that may help you out (some). If you select View at the top of the Slideshow, you can zoom (some) to 200%. It makes things a LITTLE easier. Then, use the sliders on the bottom and right to move around the map.

Nope, like I said, I'm done trying to interact with that thing. I tried to move my token earlier and the whole map started sliding around. I'll just write out what my guy does and hope for the best.

Arlo, do you know what you want to do for Downtime? (I'm starting to put together the Chronicles.)

I will do a profession check. Or whatever it's called--I have not immersed myself as much in Pathfinder as I should yet. This particular game is convincing me I should though.

Anyway, Lore (Scribe) +8.

scribe: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

I don't know if any of you will be Level 3 after this adventure, but if you are, you're welcome to apply for Quest #7: A Curious Claim (we will be finished here before that one begins).

I'll probably also run a Level 1-4 quest as soon as that one goes off.

I think I'm going to keep Bariel as a PbP character, but this is only his first adventure, so he can't do that one.

I’ll be down for the 1-4, either with Zoosh or another character.

Primary Objective: 11 Discovery Points [X]
Secondary Objective: 23 Discovery Points [X]
Horizon Hunters Bonus Reputation: 25 Discovery Points and helping the nobles [X]

Great job, guys!

Chronicles can be found here. Please let me know if anything is missing.

Hey guys, that was SICK! You all are coming to the afterparty, right? I heard they have an auditorium here, so we can have a rave above ground for once. The sewers below Absalom are pretty sick, but the setup in Canorate is downright ILL!

Performance (Raves): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Sick!

From what I understand, unless I'm mistaken, faction mission bonuses should be 2 points.

Thanks for running another fun game, GM Watery Soup!

I'm interested in a quest depending on which one it is.

Thanks for the great game everyone!

-BACK ON THE SHIP, HEADING HOME-

Arlo has found that his powers have become more potent. The various studies he has taken up have yielded results, including more powerful spells.

As such, it seems appropriate to host a celebratory dinner, and all of you are invited.

Roast chicken with all the trimmings is to be served.

Thank you everyone. This has been a fun group. GM, with Arlo graduating to 3rd level, I have already posted in the recruitment for your quest.

From what I understand, unless I'm mistaken, faction mission bonuses should be 2 points.

The scenario explicitly says 1, although I did notice that I got 2 on my character that played this (and 0 on the character I assigned this game to, which is probably a bug). Let me investigate.

Edit: Linda Zayas-Palmer (Organized Play Lead Developer) confirms 1 Reputation in the GM thread. That being said, it does seem out of step with all the other scenarios with bonus reputation (all the others I've played are 2), and, most damningly, when I report the session, I only have a checkbox - yay or nay - and beside the box it says "(2 prestige)". This is either an uncorrected error, or a programming error.

I'm inclined to leave your Chronicles the way they are, as they represent me following instructions to the best of my ability. I will report the ambiguity in the GM thread. If you'd like, what I can do is put an additional note on your Chronicle - that it was auto-reported as 2 Reputation online and that this is consistent with other scenarios, but that the PDF clearly states 1 Reputation so that's what I've put.

If someone steps up to correct the PDF, I can issue new Chronicles.

Ohh, Teja Dings! up to level 3.

Well folks, it was a pleasure and an honor to work with you all. I don't have anything in the level 3+ range, so I can only wish you the best as you go forth, wreck havoc and woe. Mayhap I'll catch you on another adventure one day.

It should be 2 Rep on thr Chronicle. I will revise Chronicles and have them up later today.

Sorry for being a nuisance.

Sorry for being a nuisance.

There's no need to apologize. This is something that I probably should have followed up on when I first noticed 2 Reputation on my character. Truthfully, I just didn't because there are so many bugs in the reporting system that I just shrug and ignore them (I figure Paizo owes me ~10 Reputation because several of my early games were reported with 1 Reputation instead of 4).

Updated Chronicles are in the same folder. They have 2 Reputation and a note saying where I got my instructions from (in case anyone ever questions the discrepancy between your Chronicle and the scenario PDF).

I'm inactivating this campaign. If you have any other questions, please PM me.
