... haven't updated my spells yet. will do that after work.
I haven't loaded my stats to Paizo yet, as I interpreted from the GM to "think about level 8" not "ok, you're level 8 now."
Think about was day-before-yesterday. Today, you're now 8th level!
Woot!
And we are back doing capers, feel free to ask how the dynamic works.
For reference, this is a link back to the last cycle of capers, for reference on how people handled them then.
Okay, updated spells... sorry for the delay. (The 2nd level one is my favored class option spell I forgot to add to my earlier post.)
Here are the new spells:
3rd level--Dispel Magic
2nd level--Calm Emotions
We can do other stuff first, I might have jumped ahead a bit. So hold the thought...
Ugh. Just waffled on a long post for a while and lost it.

Paritosh Lady Lyra sent an invite to go see her, it may help
Lyra's machine is an interesting idea, I support it. I will add a few caveats and such with my tonight.
Cool thanks GM, its hard to use as it wight is about 1/8th a ton, and needs to be hand cracked to work scanning is also slow.
And it can only help if it has the info stored.
Just felt it was a cool way to use all the tech salvage
Arlo is not the dwarven Warhammer crit range 19/20
No, both warhammer and waraxe (which Arlo has) is x3 crit.
Just reminded me to crit on her shotgun round is x3 as well
as thats another 2d6 DMG
It's the weekend.
This should be fairly challenging encounter.
I will try to wait until all the party members have acted to have your opponents act. You definitely have some indications this would be a good time to throw whatever you've got at the enemy.
So, I think the simplest thing would be for me to roll Paritosh's attack and then my monsters go. I'll do that in an hour or two if necessary. I know some might find that invasive and so apologies in advance if I wind-up doing that.
Ok So Lady Lyra is going to try and take this best on, no idea how long she will last, but my hope is you guys can do some real smack DMG on it while she's taking a beating :) The good news is, She is now at max AC, the bad news is, you only have 8 mins of game time before it all wears off haha.
"It's fine", Arlo said. "Now that the battle's over, I can use my own means of healing." In order to make Lady Lyra feel better, the dwarf stick his waraxe in the bloody earth and lain his hands on himself.
Hey! Arlo did drink a cure potion during the fight, 'member. And the dwarf would rather bring the enemy down first if he can help it before healing. Thank goodness for the Toughness feat.
Well, this is the first "big" fight the group has been in - at least in the party's current incarnation. You won, Yay! Still, it's opportunity for everyone to review their tactics and think about how your powers went well or not-so-well. Pathfinder is complicated system - even with the simplifications I often make (using ad-hoc initiative, I didn't worry about difficult terrain in this fight though I may next time).
I'm going to message folks privately if I have ideas about how you might improve your tactics or do any reworking since this part of board should be campaign-specific rather than how-to-optimize specific. IE, let's not get too hung up on these question. Any refinement is optional - everyone was reasonably effective, providing knowledge, damage-dealing, tanking and/or control.
That said, thinking about dealing with conditions (poisoned, diseased, grappling, prone etc), dealing with difficult terrain, dealing with monsters having damage resistances or energy resistance (the beast has DR 5 holy) and so-forth might be something to do.
With Loot who would like what
Slippers of speed and spider climbing(combined effect),
Bracers of archery+2/+2 damage,
Lyra already has ex-retreat Spell
A Blue Jewel on a chain that allows the wearer to reduce up to three size categories one time per day for up to 5 minutes (super reduce person, limit to the "fine" category, throat/amulet slot)
Lyra has gas form spell
small, silver flintlock pistol (+2 frost, 3 bullet capacity, can misfire but will not explode).
Lyra uses guns, she will have if everyone is ok with that.
The shield is a +4 light Mithral shield.
Lyra does not use Shields
slippers of speed and spider climbing as in Boots of Speed + Slippers of Spider Climbing?
Anzarra can't use the pistol or the shield.
Since I favor archery, I could use the bracers, but happy to have any of the rest of the things if anyone else wants the bracers.

As for dealing with battles, the thing that would help the most in my opinion is having a detailed battle map so that we can place ourselves to avoid difficult terrain, bad conditions, etc.
There are things that help with DR... like clustered shot feat, etc, or having the right type of weapon to get around that particular type of DR, but those things aren't necessarily predictable unless we know what we are going up against ahead of time. ... If the dark traders are all evil though, getting a holy enchantment on our weapons would help... however, that costs a +2 enchantment, which is expensive.
By popular demand, I will try to create a sufficiently detailed map the next time around.
General things to think about with DR; Doing a careful examination of the enemy in front of you (one of the knowledge check). Depending on the fight, you may or may not have time and I may or may not remember to remind you to do this. There are lots of things I'm still learning on this play by post thing too (apologies for any and all vagueness or inconsistency I might have shown in the past).
If there is an unwanted item (or two), you can trade them to The Organization for an item (or items) worth not more than 17K gold. You folks previously hadn't gotten anything for leveling up (and pathfinder kind of assumes items increase with level). No one wants the shrink gem? c'est la vie.
I think I am going to get Lady Lyra to make more Grenades
They seem to work well and seem balanced for the level we
are now at.
I think I will try and use her to work out the DR of things for others
She has the skills.
slippers of speed and spider climbing as in Boots of Speed + Slippers of Spider Climbing?
Yes, combined powers
We'll use the shrinking gem for sure... it just apparently isn't anyone's first choice, but it does seem like a valuable thing to have for the future.
I should say that I apologize if in recent post posts I have come off as critical towards the party. I also have much to learn about Pathfinder and play-by-post, I may not have handled the last encounter well myself and I appreciate everyone's playing style and I realize many folks probably have far more play-by-post experience than me.
Anzarra messaged me that she is withdrawing from the campaign.
I will be putting a recruiting thread looking for another player since it seems like the party needs a magic specialist. If there are things you'd like in a new player, post here, comment on the recruiting thread or message me.

Awe man. Luckily the structure of this campaign allows for characters to come and go.
OK, I just an unexpected power shutoff, here in California, that will last until Tuesday. Since this will be long than last time and I didn't have time for preparation, I may not be able to post here until Tuesday night.
Apologies, hope you're all doing well.
What reasons did Anzarra give?
I will say that when playing a game, I prefer to play it, rather than to be quite so much the "world builder" for that game, if that makes sense.

I definitely intend this game to have a world-builder/co-story writer feel to it. I encourage people to take part in that but I don't really require it, you can mostly ignore it and just play if you want. I'm fine with action happening on multiple levels, It's great really, the simple and the complex together. I might have leaned too hard on the encouragement lately but I'm OK with backing off. That said, "world builder" is kind of what I'm here for.
Power back... it will take a bit to get my barrings...

Nice. She's a bit tall for Paritosh's tastes though.

love it,cool as
So, I've posted an add for a magic user to the recruitment thread - feel free to look/comment on this. I'm going to do auditions this time so it closes in five days. Hopefully we can keep up the posting during that time.
I'm assuming Lady Lira will want to attend the meeting with the mysterious person who may have stolen the blue-prints of the Crystal Movie machine - but let me know what the plan is.
yes please

Sorry guys ill post Monday dealing with covid lockdown here.
Sorry guys ill post Monday dealing with covid lockdown here.
Stay safe.
Indeed, stay safe. I think we all know how scary such things can be these days.
Ok so had a Covid scare, have had to stay home for 2 weeks and had 2 test tomorrow is my last, should be all clear, felt bad last Thursday but think it was stress. Someone I had a meeting with came down with it and we all had to get tested and Isolate.

Take care. These are hallowing times all around.
With the US election today and Covid lockdowns in England, I assume people are busy.
As far as plot goes, I've outlined stuff to prepare for the Crystal Movies premier. Other things to consider is security.
The counterfeit movies you now hear exist may well be coming from the same area as the Tower Of Egon, where Delores' sister is apparently imprisoned. Preparation for an expedition would be in order.
But also, you might consider ways to stop such things coming into the city.
Let me know if anything is confusing or too obscure.
