GM Silbeg's Age of Ashes AP (Inactive)

Game Master Silbeg

"I'm on a mission from the gods."

Is there anywhere in this town to buy sunglasses, a black fedora, and half a pack of cigarettes?

Lol

Did you want to use the scroll that Warble offered?

I think we should hand that to the cleric to hold on to in case we need more healing in a hurry, given both she and the druid just expended their healing magic. Don't object to someone using it now if we'd rather go faster, though.

I was thinking use it incase it is one of those "Oh, you don't need it? Ok, you can't have it." moments. I've seen them happen.

Makes sense to me.

Sorry for the delay. Got roped into organizing PFS/SFS at a last minute online version of our normal labor day local con, and it ate up my weekend.

AC 18, will shield block.

This was brilliant, thank you.

I always love it when there is no doubt.

Sorry everyone :(

You did good! I'm just sorry I can't get you up now.

I just has an idea that I thought would be fun.

If anyone wanted to keep a journal in their character’s voice, viewable by the group, I would award them a bonus hero point “per session” (example, I am considering this evening rest as ending a session).

This is completely optional, of course.

As an FYI I am also going to suggest this idea to my other group, since it does seem fun

Also, as an FYI, you should consider splitting up the treasure you have found. Some may end up getting sold when you get back to town, most will probably stay with the party.

The spreadsheet has a drop down that I think is set up with each party member. Let me know if it does not work.

So far Davian doesn't see anything he needs outside of a couple healing potions. Will let the others take their picks first.

I could see making use of the Wolf Fang Talisman if no one else wants it.

Go for it! We should definitely keep all the potions, and we should at least move the +1 rune to someone's weapon if no one wants the +1 shortbow.

Also, I'm in for a journal, though I think Aragelda's will be letters home to her family.

Do I need to roll Crafting to fix the shield, or is that hand-waved in the evening along with healing?

Does anyone have a better crafting than Aragelda?
With a +3 I would have you roll them out for the shield, at least this time

Note, you did find a wooden shield, as I recall, which could be a backup

As for moving runes, this is a downtime activity.
Also, I had tried to figure out the requirements to be able to do this.... best I could tell it would take magical crafting, but if someone can find me where it says otherwise, it would be fine with that.

Transferring runes takes the craft activity, with, as far as I can tell, all of its requirements. To craft magical rules takes magical crafting feat.
craft activity

transfer runes

It would also take 3.5gp in materials to transfer a +1 potency rune.

Davian has a +4 to crafting.

Gideon is also +4 to craft. No magical crafting, I do use a short bow so am happy to use the +1 for now, and am happy to transfer it later for a primary combatant when it makes sense to do so.

Also am hoping for a small rebuild to swap out Gnome Weapon Familiarity for something else now now that my Trip with dex shenanigans have been culled.

Davian does not have Magical Crafting but he does have specialty crafting (Talismans and Runestones). Most of his downtime activity will be making talismans and runestones.

I am not sure that is a choice for specialty crafting, do you have a source, Davian? This list says “ Select one of the specialties listed below”.

Also, specialty crafting does not replace the need for magical crafting feat, it just makes you better at that specific type of crafting (such as those on the list)

If this is not what you expected, please swap for another feat (or choose one of the specializations on the list)

——————
Gideon, that would be fine. What would you like instead

If anyone else is affected by errata please let me know.

His specialty crafting is just artistry. Once he becomes high enough level and expert in crafting he will take magical crafting for runes.

Cool. Thank you.

Thank you for the clarification!

Aaaactually, it looks like I couldn't afford a repair kit from my starting gold. Does anyone else have one? Otherwise, I'll use the wooden shield we found.

Edjarha has a repair kit and +6 crafting. He's happy to help repair your shield.

Sounds better than mine. Only got +4 to craft.

Given the evening, the shield is repaired.

Gonna swap out Gnomish Weapon Familiarity for Animal Accomplice and pick up some sort of cute familiar.

Sure! That sounds fun.

Just no goblin dogs :P

Aragelda's first letter home.

I have updated Hero Points for you Aragelda.

Question...
what would you all think about moving our maps/tactical to Roll20?

There's some things that might make it easier, especially with the size of many of the maps in the first two books. Plus, I have all the maps already there for my other table.

But, if folks would prefer to stay on slides, that is cool, too.

I am fine with whichever method. :)

I have a mild preference for slides, but not a strong one.

I don't have strong feelings either way.

Roll20 would be fine with me.

insignia were found here!

Ah, got it. I saw that post in my search, but thought crumbled meant destroyed, rather than just wrinkled. Thanks!

Quick question for the loot spreadsheet.
Did you all want to set aside 1 share of the loot as "party treasure", or do you want to just divide all the cash between just the party members?

FYI - I am replacing the previous docs based macros sheet with one that Doug Hahn created.

Please add your character and skills to Macros Spreadsheet. I have found that this is exceptionally helpful for me in running a PBP.

Thank you.

:) I asked Doug for a blank copy of that as well. Very helpful!

As for the Party treasure, I am good either way as Davian will likely purchase some group items such as healing, runes and elixirs.

He spreadsheet is up on PFSPrep!

Friend lost her job so my attention has been on that the past few days. Got my info updated.

The first floor of the citadel is complete now. You just need to wrap up things with the goblins, and bring the body of Calmont back to Breachhill.

When you get back, you can:

- Level up to level 2!
- When you do this, you may select on 2nd level multi-class dedication archetype feat as a bonus feat.
- Sell any loot you don't want to keep.
- Buy any items you'd like (Breachhill is a level 4 settlement)
- You should pay for 1 week's lifestyle, unless you are planning on subsisting (in which I will need a Survival check or the like).

If anyone picks up magical crafting, you may transfer runes.

Sorry, really lost track of this game this week, I'll get leveled up first thing tomorrow morning.

** spoiler omitted **

Mostly waiting for you all to decide what you are selling and buying. Looks like you've all leveled up!

Make sure to update your macros on the spreadsheet!

Some quick questions:

Aragelda, what are you emblazoning (for now)?

Gideon, is your familiar going to take a larger role? Did you ever actually pick out your "Cute familiar"?

Thanks!

Shield for Aragelda! Since she worships the dwarven pantheon, she'll put the symbols of all the major dwarven gods on there, with Folgrit in the center.

Can we try again on the vials we didn't identify?

We should keep the healing items and the holy waters for sure. There's a silver longsword and a silver morningstar up for grabs, though I'm not sure if the people who don't have silver yet can use them.

Mundane weapons and armor that no one wants, we should sell.

Can someone in town transfer runes for us?

Yup, especially hitting level 2 I'm taking familiar master. Probably going to have the classic gnomish badger companion, but I'm still on the fence. Luckily it's a familiar so it's got a lot of daily flexibility.

1. You can try again on the vials... I will look back to see what you missed.
2. Just mark what you want to sell as “sold”. No need to RP out the transactions. List out here what you are selling. We will do a total here when we have it done
3. The guide has a list of shops and people you could try. I think we should RP some of his out. If it becomes tedious we will move on
