DM Carbide's Godsmouth Heresy [PFS1e-CORE, Table 1] (Inactive)

Game Master John Woodford

those days are unforgettable, and cherished.
Even more than twenty years after.

I just got word back via text. He's been wiped out with family, work and other things the last week. He is hoping to get some posts up today when the baby finally falls asleep.

Azrail has pretty much shut down pfs pbp stuff for the last couple weeks. RL is still tearing him up. I'll let you know if I hear anything from him.

Thanks for the update.

Once we finish this fight, do you all want me to wrap things up? There are still some blank spots on the map, but you've dealt with the most significant challenges.

Yes please, unless it affects our completion status (which iirc is the main reason we came back down here after stopping that alchemist dude).

This module seems to be an absolutely brutal draining never-ending adventure.

It's definitely a grind, and would probably work better playing in person.

ETA: I can also speed you through the bits that aren't non-trivial fights; there are a few CR 1 combats that really aren't worth the time.

One of the rooms you explored earlier also had an illusion covering it--see HERE.

It bothers me (was going to say it bugs me, but...) that swarm touch AC depends on the AC of the component creatures. It seems like you should be able to target an intersection inside the area covered by the swarm and do full damage to it.

Yeah, one would think that would be better.

Especially at higher levels if you have a group with zero AoE, it takes forever to beat down a swarm doing d6 x 150% and a miss or two makes it even harder.

But at least it is better then when I first started. Well, better than I thought swarms were. I was under the impression you couldn't target an actual swarm with a flask. You had to literally splash them to death. So the absolute max you could do was 1 per person per round...

I was a bit confused as to how swarms actually were fightable for a while.

I just spent waaaay too much time down a rabbit hole of debates about that very argument.

Yeah, I try to limit my time down rabbit holes to 1-2 pages of discussion. I get farther than that my brain just starts hurting.

My daughter and son-in-law are visiting tonight through Saturday morning, and we're going museum crawling tomorrow--posting will hence be scarce.

No problem, GM! Have fun! :)

OK, of seven rolls to hit with splash weapons, the party has gotten:

2, 2, 14, 6, 5, 4, and 5.

That's appalling. At least Vulf has a spell that will affect them.

For reference, I was treating the create water effect as being equivalent to a gust of wind, in terms of its effects on the Tiny swarm components. That is, it did 1d4 nonlethal damage, x150% for being an area of effect attack, with a DC 14 Fort save to negate.

I'll be reporting this through OSP, so go ahead and roll for boons. I'll need an email address if you get one; you can PM me, if you don't want to put it out on the boards.

ETA: Chronicles! Let me know if there are any issues.

Thanks for playing, all!

Nala

Vulf

Azrail

Erica

Desynthia

dicebot redemption for a boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 19

LOL

One final request, Nala--could you text Azrail's player? Let him know that he survived, he's down two acid flasks, and he can collect his chronicle here. I won't keep the campaign active after the rest of you get yours, but the link will be good for as long as I have my Google Drive account. I'll roll a boon for him in his absence:

Azrail boon: 1d20 ⇒ 4

Ah, well.

Boon: 1d20 ⇒ 15

Ok Booner.

Thanks for the game and the chronicle, leveling up to L3! Yeah!

Thanks for GMing the game! :) We were unluckier than expected lol, but we still succeeded!

Boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 1

LOL! One final unlucky roll I guess

Just to make sure: that means Bobbie can't use Pharasma's Blessing, right? And everyone gains 3 XP, enough to level up?

Everyone has the Pharasma's Blessing boon; the convention I remember from other chronicles is that you check the box after you use it.

And you're correct; this was worth 3 xp, so it puts you up to 3rd level.

I'll be reporting this through OSP, so go ahead and roll for boons. I'll need an email address if you get one; you can PM me, if you don't want to put it out on the boards.

So I am wrong. PM me your email addresses, and the OSP folks will roll for your boon. Nala, if you could send me Azrail's I'll enter it for him.

Boon info can be found here.

@GM - Thanks for running. I enjoyed this run and the way you rewarded creative thinking.

@ All - Thanks for the run and I look forward to sharing a table with each of you in the future!

I think I still need email addresses for Desynthia and Erica.

oh, sorry, I thought you needed the mail only if we won a boon.
Sending you a PM

That was my mistake; the OSP folks roll for boons, and I didn't know that.

I've reported it through OSP, so I can close the campaign. Thanks again for running, and Go Paffies! See you around the boards!
