[Gameday IX] GM Dennis - Quest 7: A Curious Claim (Inactive)

Game Master Dennis Muldoon

Discuss the curious nature of the claim here.

Alright folks, HERE is the slide deck for this game (also in my header and at the top of the page). Please fill in your character info on the sign-in sheet, and add a token to the marching order slide.

First post is up! Please introduce your character. Don't forget to fill in your info on the sign-in slide of the Maps & Handouts deck as well, please.

I've pinged DeadGators / CelticDragon38. Hopefully we'll hear back from them soon. I'm hesitant to advance the game too much before we know if they'll be joining, though we can continue with the briefing.

I'll ping them real quick.

Okay, I think I have my sheet in proper PbP format now...but I'm dubious that I got it right on the first go, rushing as I was among 50 other things. Dennis, would you be willing to take a peek and see if I missed anything?

Thanks tons again for giving me an extra day or two!

That all looks good to me, at least at first glance. I haven't really settled on a 'right' way to do PF2 character profiles yet, since the Hero Lab Online BBcode output is so terrible. I guess the only thing I'd suggest there would be attaching the links to the spells using [url] tags, like you did for the feats, but *shrug*.

D'oh, I forgot I had those there like that ><

Thanks!

Sorry, I've been managing a convention until just a few minutes ago and quick posts was all I could do for the last day or two.

Slotted Boons:
Faction: Grand Archive Champion, Improved.
Bonus Faction: Esoteric Wayfinder
Advanced: Promotional Service Award (+1 Hero Point, can give 1 HP reroll to another player during the adventure).
General: [] Waters of Warlock's Barrow
General: [] Doom Averted.
General: Off-Hours Study (Downtime) 42/50 Days.
Slotless: [] [] [] One-Who-Waits, Engraved Wayfinder, Wayfinder.
- Item 1: Scroll of Comprehend Languages (Level 2)
- Item 2: Scroll of Magic Weapon (Level 1)

No worries. I was managing a convention all weekend, too, so just got back to this.

So normally (if I understand correctly) she'd have to be hidden or undetected by everyone to Sneak. You can normally Hide or Create a Diversion to become Hidden, then Sneak to become Undetected. Am I understanding it correctly, or does she have something that changes that?

Moving this discussion to the Discussion thread. I'll preface this by saying this is a section of the rules I'm struggle with a bit, not having played a PC that utilizes them yet. The Sneak action of the Stealth skill says:

"You can attempt to move to another place while becoming or staying undetected. Stride up to half your speed."

I had taken the 'become...undetected' bit to mean you could use Sneak to go into hiding, but re-reading the sidebar on the page before I see what you're saying. I wish the Sneak use said something about needing to begin Hidden, rather than depending on the sidebar; that would be clearer. Anyway, I think you're probably right, so let's say her last action was a Hide action, rather than a Sneak action. You know what square she's in, but can't see her.

No worries GM - we're all still learning. I'm super grateful the PRD has that "It looks like you're trying to be sneaky - would you like some help with that?" section. XD

so apparently pregens can roll day jobs for lower level characters, but the final result of the day job is as if the lower level character rolled it. So if I succeed, as succeed at my day job as if a level 1 character rolled it according to the charts and not as if my level 3 rolled it. The character I'm applying this to is level 1 merchantile lore: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10 nevermind, crit fail.

Thank you for running, Dennis! It was fun finally get to play a quest!
Swamp Lore: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Cooking Lore, Expert: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Meh. The job is done, and that's the important part. (Not that Tess was much help in the skill check portion, lol)

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Everyone else, please go ahead and roll your Earn Income checks.

Aspis Lore: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
Field commissioned agent

Thank you for running, Dennis! Always great to get to play with you and Kate! :)

Midwifery Lore: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18 (DC 15)

Great playing with you as well, Mike!

Alright folks, HERE are your chronicles. Eir, if you post your Earn Income check I'll update yours to reflect the result.

Dur. I'm a dummy. I forgot that I slotted my "Off-Hours Study (Downtime)" boon (currently 42/50 Days). Would it be possible to change my downtime away from earn income and instead 2 days of off-hours study? I'm trying to see if I can get to the 50 days before boons change/expire/end/etc.

Thanks, and sorry about that!

No problem. Should be fixed.

Thank ye kindly sir! :)

WEATHER LORE: 120 + 9 = 129

Sorry about that it's been an interesting week in the middle of covid land.

No worries. I'm going to re-roll that for you so it's a d20 not 120.

Weather Lore: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

Your chronicle should be updated now to reflect that crit success, if you re-download it.

Would it be possible to mark this campaign as inactive once everyone has their Chronicle sheets?

Yeah, I wanted to make sure Eir had a couple days to see that their chronicle was updated. It's been a few days, though, so I'll go ahead and do that.
