Game Master chadius

1. Olexbu
2. Aleksandyr
3. Rosette

1d3 ⇒ 2

Alright Aleksandyr, you get a Hero Point. Onward to the next scenario!

Next on the list is Petals District, with the researcher.

Oops! Thought we were already there

So, I'm reading the rules over, and I can't find anything that says whether fixing the ritual is 1 action or 2. So, I'm gonna make it 1 action instead.

If you've taken 2 actions before to fix the ritual, you can retroactively make a second check. Going forward, you only need 1 action to fix the ritual, and can spend multiple actions per turn fixing it.

Do our attacks on the blob seem to have some effect?

Yes, you are dealing damage to the shadow blob.

What are our healing resources. Personally I have 2 scrolls of soothe and 2 more castings. We also the the scroll of heal we were given.

Anything else?

I have two of those level 1 healing potions. Minor healing potions I think. I expect the most efficient thing to do would be for the dampir to use the heal scroll, but that might hurt him, I dunno the rules well enough.

I'd rather not risk the 3-action version of heal. There is a slight chance it could take me out (unlikely but possible, and somewhat counterproductive).

But now that Rosette is up, she could use it. I'd just want enough warning to get out of the way.

Good point, Rosette is a Druid, I forgot. If Alex goes downstairs then she can do the three action heal for everyone with the scroll. Probably the most efficient way to heal everyone.

Going to try using Medicine to treat wounds first. Sorry you had to spend a scroll on me!

Is a heal kit a thing in 2e? If so, I need to get one. XD

I can try Medicine again in an hour, or she does have Heal prepared herself. We might also get free healing back at the party when we return with Tavvar?

Yes, Healer’s tools

Anyone wants to nominate someone for a Hero Point?

Olexbu, for fixing the ritual

Olexbu, for fixing the ritual

Yes, before we all died! XD

Cast my vote for Olexbu as well!

I've got no new ideas. And I already burned my point trying (and failing) to talk down the smith!

Agreed.

Sounds like Olexbu gets a hero point. Onward to our next destination!

Are the upper floors gone, or just the stairs fell apart?

There is just one floor to this building, the upper floor collapsed after the many earthquakes here.

Time to nominate someone for a hero point. I'll move us along in the morning.

My vote goes to Paulie.

My vote goes to Paulie.

Sorry, just saw this. Seconded!

Alright Paulie, the hero point is yours. We're at the final location. Make sure your character details are correct.

Aw, thanks guys!

Creature is not showing up on slides for me, just the six players, so I don’t know if I can move up there and attack, or what positions are available.

It’s in the square east of Hangust

DM I have the unfettered halfling trait which includes this language:

If a creature uses the Grab ability on you, it must succeed at an Athletics check to grab you instead of automatically grabbing you.

I am unsure if that matters in this instance.

It definitely matters here. Thanks for pointing it out.

If you have a day job/earned income check you need to make, make it now. This will speed up making the chronicles.

Performance: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

Aleksandr plays a few of his compositions on his harpsichord. The performance is a success.

Crafting, Task Level 0: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

Critical success! After hearing about his beratement of the Smith, one of the Iolite Squad sends Olexbu to make up. It somehow goes better than anticipated.

Task: being drunk (lore Alchohol)
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Dreadfang has heard of this game called “chess”, which only the best dragons play. He tries learning it by playing against people in the local park. Surely he will conquer all!

Warfare: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Earned Income: Scouting Lore: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Don't mind me, just rolling a performance check for the GM.

Performance: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

That's a crit, nice!

We're not done yet, but I want to prepare the chronicle sheets so you're not waiting once we finish up.

CLICK HERE to check on your chronicles.

Rosette, I need this information from you to complete your sheets.
- Player Name
- Starting XP
- Starting GP

Everything looks good to me!

As a side note, does anyone else want to keep playing together after Gameday? I'll admit, I'm a bit burned out for running. My usual group seems to be slowly drifting further away from organized play, though, so I'm in the market.

I’m in.

I'm very limited in what I can play. I've played all the Season 1 scenarios except for 1-25.

I've played a fair amount of season 1, but there are a couple more repeatable we could do. I'd like to get Paulie to level 2 so he can archetype Marital Artist

Ugh, I completely forgot to tack on the important part of what I was going to say, which was that I'm mostly sticking to to repeatables because I don't know when or what my group will be up to.

CLICK HERE to get everyone's chronicle. I left Rosette's fields blank.

Thanks for playing, everyone. Please tell me if there are any corrections I need to make.

Good game! Thanks for running! :-)

Thanks Chadius

Thanks aplenty for the game!

Looks good, thank you for the game Gm Chadius.

Wow, it went fast! Thanks for the game. What skills can be used to earn income?

During Downtime you can perform a skill check that lets you Earn Income. Perform, Craft and Lore are the most common skill checks. Roll well and you'll earn some extra income on your sheet.

If you want to make a roll, I can update the character sheet as needed. Just tell me what your Player name, Starting XP and Starting GP are.
