Redeux's Little Trouble in Big Absalom [PBP Gameday XI] (Inactive)

Game Master Hmm

This will be so exciting! Will you be playing the pregens or briinging your very own kobold characters?

We have to wait until the 12th of August to sign up, right? I hope I can get a spot. I will be playing one of the pregens if I get in.

Wow, you found me fast! Yes, I think you have to wait until August 12th unless you are a GM and use your one early signup to signup for August 5th.

I have a question for you. Have you played either of these quests already? Quest#5 Dragon who stole evoking day or Quest #10 Broken Scales? I was thinking of adding them to this adventure if enough of my players hadn't played them yet.

Hmm

Yep. Played both of those already.

I set shortcut links on my phone to 5 or 6 games I'm hoping to get in on. I'm only going to sign up for 3. I'm worried they're going to fill up fast.

I just saw that early sign-ups for GMs have opened! It doesn’t appear that the spreadsheet has opened to allow it just yet, though. I’d like to throw down my one early GM sign-up chit on your table!

Can I reserve a spot?

Tell me i am not too late! I want a place!

I have done all the quests or playing at this moment.

Heh, This sounds like fun. So I am going to use my GM sign up for this one!

Also I have played 5 but not 10

I see that I am going to have to start scanning those pregens so that you can look at them! Meanwhile, for those of you using your one-and-only GM chit to sign up, can you give me the following information?

We don't have sanctioning documents, so I am guessing here on what I'll need from you.

Tell me more about them! Who are they? What do they do, in and out of character?

If you are playing an original Kobold, select your Pathfinder Training and tell me what items you are borrowing from the Grand Lodge for this mission. Conversely, you can tell me that you are a field agent who got no training but earns more income during downtime!

If you are purchasing or slotting boons, please put them below.

(First draft) Chow mein is innoventive Self-entrepreneur Kobold with a brillant idea. Seeing that servers inside tavern and restaurants only, he decided to be as a server to serve food at outside direct at your house. He call it being a "food courrier." At the moment, There is only Tian-inspired location and a weird svirfneblin as his partners for this adventure but he is sure that will be soon popular.

Sneak Peek at Pregens

Zzazzu will be fully trained (3 points) in the Swords school. She will take a potency crystal and a lesser bomb (bottled lightning, please).

Tell me more about them! Who are they? What do they do, in and out of character?

Zzazzu Farabellus was neither born into greatness, nor did she have greatness thrust upon her - she has gripped her great potential with both claws and forcefully steers it where she chooses! As an exemplary member of the most influential family in Absalom - the Sewer Dragons! - Zzazzu has been accomplishing amazing deeds out of sight of most of Absalom, but no more! She will bring her radiance to the surface.

Zzazzu the Shark-Dragon cannot be stopped!

Zzazzu is a mildly-delusional, ultimately-good-natured kobold with a penchant for the dramatic. She hails from the sewers of Absalom, recently surfaced with a blade, a heap of information on joining the ranks of the Pathfinder Society, and a not-a-small-amount of confidence. In short, she is a swashbuckling dervish.

If you are purchasing or slotting boons, please put them below.

Sewer Dragon Recruit boon (from Broken Scales, which I have GM'd, but not played).

I think I will bring the fighter Simeek

*tosses in his GM chit for a slot.

I'll take Rhin, Kobold Bard extraordinaire.

I don't know which character I'll be applying this until we get the sanctioning rules.

And now I have five players signed up with GM chits.

Some have already called dibs on pregen characters. I have room for 1 more player.

ALREADY SIGNED UP

I think i will take the sorcerer. But at the same time, i wonder if i should change it to a witch.

If you are playing one of the pregens, you're playing the pregen!

Hmm

If there is room still, I'll take the last spot.

I'll be figuring out if I am going to build a kobold or play a pregen... probably gonna be the latter at this point.

I assume that these are level 1 pregens?

I will keep the prengen then.

They are level one. Here's the Kobold Pregens!

Our Cast

I'll take whatever's not claimed if my original kobold character isn't legal. Just happy to be aboard!

Player: Andrew Harasty (GM Gustavef)
Pregen or Original Kobold? Original
Character Name: Doktor Z. F. Middens (Kobold Forensic Medicine Investigator)
OPF Number: 3645-2005
Faction: Grand Archives
Downtime (usually earn income): TBD Based on pregen or original kobold income only
Current XP: 4 (8?)
Current Fame: 4
Reputation with current faction: 4

This my next GM baby so I need to put his stats together and see what I apply to him before this starts. But at most will only be level 1

IF YOU ARE PLAYING AN ORIGINAL KOBOLD

Tell me more about them! Who are they? What do they do, in and out of character?

Doktor Zamuel F. Middens (of the Petal District Middens) is an autodidact forensic scholar. Even though well versed in dealing with the already dead and discarded, has many tricks of his sleeves to either make things dead (or more dead) or prevent being dead (it will only hurt a bit)

Although from the high society (sewers) of Absalom, Doktor Middens is all about helping his fellow Kobolds become better citizens in this changing world.

If you are purchasing or slotting boons, please put them below.

I don't expect any boons other than the Grand Archives Faction. And I will still need to figure out his training.

Debating on what to do... as of this moment, would end up a brand new 0xp character

But that assumes I don't run or play anything in the next 3 weeks...

Oh, yes. I forgot that Zzazzu will also have the Horizon Hunters champion boon.

Player: Jack Brown (Silbeg)
Original Kobold? Original
Character Name: Blancka
OPF Number: 788-2007
Faction: Vigilent Seal
Downtime (usually earn income): Earn Income warfare lore: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Current XP: TBD
Current Fame: TBD
Reputation with current faction: TBD

IF YOU ARE PLAYING AN ORIGINAL KOBOLD
Blancka was always a proud kobold, which was saying something. Perhaps it was because he was descended from bronze dragons... not always as respected as the reds and golds, for example. He was always the one that would take a dare, as he would never be hurt. Well, if he did get hurt, he did learn how to bandage himself up right.

However, when faced with challenges, he often would let his pride get in his way, channeling the power of his ancient ancestors. When he fought, he didn't just fight, he raged, and his powerful attacks became charged with elemental lightning of his draconic predecessors.

He grew up a Sewer Dragon of Absalom, and is proud to be one of their warriors. When presented the opportunity, he rose the occasion to become a Pathfinder.

If you are purchasing or slotting boons, please put them below.
TBD

I cannot say for sure what his starting XP, Fame, Rep, etc., will be, as I am likely going to play him a couple of time before this... but he will still be level 1

I will likely be buying a wayfinder, assuming I get 4 fame by then... because he is as fiercely a Pathfinder as he is a Sewer Dragon.

More Story

Although the good Doktor fancies himself a member of high society (whatever that may mean for kobolds) he isn't afraid to get his hands dirty to help his fellow kobold. Either as the community's barber-surgeon or the local expert in dealing with "the weird noise we just heard down deeper in the sewer." With his trusty sewer hunting crossbow (P'Twing) and his fascination with anything new and bizarre he will bravely go in to the depths of the sewers (or tops of towers) to hunt down any threat to his community.

D'Oh!
I always miss HMMM games. I am too slow! but if you have a wait list let me know. :)

YEah, me too - put me on the wait list in case 2 people have to drop please.. thanks.

Simeek is ready to go

Hey all, I have maps up. Can you double check the slides, and see if you can edit them?

Hmm

I use Simeek's lore skill correct.

Player: Pirate Rob
Pregen: Rhin
Character Name: Snarlfist
OPF Number: 757 - 2010

Downtime (usually earn income): EA: lvl 0 DC 14 perform: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
Current XP: 8

Things look good, added my info here and in slides.

Looks like it will work...

Signing in now

Also, as expected, I've decided to change his draconic lineage to blue dragon instead of silver... just felt right.

It looks like he'll be at 6xp, but not 100% sure.

"Zzazzu does juggling! The best juggling! Watch her go!"

Performance Check for Downtime/Day Job: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

"Aren't you amazed?! Throw some coppers!"

The good Doktor's Surgery

Surgery Lore: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11 (Level 0 Task)

Not that many paying customers today.

After learning that I can assign this to any character, I am going to change up a few things.

Is everyone on the slideshow? I think I am missing a few of the unique characters avatars.

Also, can someone with more bandwidth than I currently have tell me which pregens are not being used? (First day of in-person work since Covid hit, and my brain is all freaked out. Both excited and a little terrified.)

Zzazzu is there!

Grimmnir also.

On slideshow and updated the character number and level of the character i want to assign the chronicle to.

Blanka is there...

We have

Simeek (Fighter)
Rhin (Bard)
Grimmnir (Sorc)

We do not have:

Quizrel (Rogue)
Izni (Druid)

Thanks. That was just what I needed. I've had a couple of exhausting days adapting to in-person work during the pandemic -- constant cleaning procedures and reminders of mask safety procedures and counting the exact number of bodies in a building...

My brain kind of melted.

:/

Hmm

I will be botting Doktor Middens in about an hour.

Speaking of botting, can everyone please give me a header and a botting spoiler for their characters? Thanks!

Hmm

Just wanted to say, I like how Simeek's "halberd" is a knife on a stick.

GM, I'm not sure what you mean by a header and a botting spoiler for my character.
