(I don't fully understand, yet, how downtime works. But, there's my roll.)

p.s.
I didn't think we'd be starting so soon. If I don't post in game thread later tonight, then I will definitely tomorrow. On my way to an in-person PFS game.

(I don't fully understand, yet, how downtime works. But, there's my roll.)

Here is a link. Start by reading "Earn Income". Feel free to ask your questions here! We will help you.

Society Downtime

So, yeah. Failed my Earn Income roll (as usual). It doesn't list a DC in the CRB, nor in the Guide to OP. I know the DC is 14. I just have no idea where "DC 14" comes from.

Nevermind. "DCs by Level", pg. 503 in CRB.

Reporting for duty. Full character sheet is linked on my header line.

Player Name: Aaron
Character Name: Marcus Vultulus Fantailler
PFS / Character Number: 4249-2001
Character stuff: Half-Elf Emissary Bard 2
Downtime Skill / Task: Cassomir Lore vs DC 14: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Player Name: Banesama
Character Name: Jak Tlooly
PFS / Character Number: 138079-2001
Character Ancestry / Background / Class / Level: Human / Scholar of the Ancients / Cleric of Pharasma/ 1
Downtime Skill / Task Level / Task DC / Die Result / Outcome: Lore (Herbalism) vs task level 0(dc 14) / Lore (Herbalism): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 Failure

Two tables:

1) "DCs by Level" (CRB p503)
2) "Earn Income" (CRB p236)

Don't forget to Report into Gameplay!

Quick Point of Order before Continuing:

Jak and Roahn
1) Where are you two from?

Marcus
1) Where are you from?
2) I need to a complete Character Sheet (non-linked) in your Profile. Let me know if you need help doing this.

Everyone
Make sure your Character Bars have the following information:

1) Senses (Perception, Vision / Other Senses)
2) Defenses (AC, Saves, HP)
3) Default Exploration Mode Activity. Let me know if you need help doing this.

That's all for now!

I forget. Do we do boons and school items for quests?

I forget. Do we do boons and school items for quests?

Yes. Fully.

(You are of course welcome to jump the gun!)

I don't think I'll have time to make a plain-text character sheet in the next couple of days. If that is an issue, please recruit an alternate and I'll step down.

Marcus is from Cassomir, and assuming he continues on he'll make a full introduction. It just seemed tacky to interject it into the briefing.

Never really thought of homeland for Roahn. Tossed a dart at a map of Golarion. Homeland is Riddleport, Varisia, but he now lives in a forest somewhere outside of Absalom to practice being a druid and working with the Pathfinder Society.

Cassomir, cool.

Riddeport, cool.

I'll have to drop then. I just have the linked PDF and I don't think I'll be able to get a text one together until the weekend. Every time I rush it I typo half of the sheet and screw it up. I've been trying to have as few variations of sheets as possible since I switch between discord, paizo, webcam, and in-person games and settled on using the pdf sheets for everything. Sorry about that. Have fun!

I also prefer to use a single format between all the different servers, especially when not using a service such as HeroLab to build characters.

I'd be happy to fill in your sheet into a PbP template for you later tonight when i get home from work.

Jak is from Absalom directly. He has done little travelling except for Pathfinder business.

His default Exploration Mode is Detect Magic.

@Marcus
Compromise: Let's do it by parts.

1) See if you can get "Skills" up today / tomorrow.
2) If we get in a fight before the weekend, I'll then request "Combat Stats".
3) The rest by the end of the weekend.

Let me know if this can work?

Given my present time constraints and posting mostly from mobile, I think it would just be best if I dropped rather than hold things up for that.

Last Call and whatnot!

If you're feeling it, go ahead and "accidentally find one" in the caverns!?...

Going to bed. Had a blown out tire earlier, had to wait 2½ hours for a tow truck, and am exhausted. I'll post tomorrow. G'night!

Activating Botting Tree!

If it's been over 24 hours since someone posted, and that character is "up" in any mode of the game, other player are encouraged to "bot" that character either directly above - or directly below - their own characters' alphabetical names:

Dr Yuen
Jak
Korvoth
Merdle
Roahn

Not sure if I would make the correct choice as a pretty new player, but seems like stealth behind the group while continuing to raise the sunrod in the rear of the group would make sense for @merdle

I think the GM is mostly fishing for a die roll here more than anything.

I forgot to mention that Merdle speaks (and can read) Draconic

You did not!

@Merdle
As we transition to Encounter Mode, you are going to have to choose between using the Avoid Notice and Repeating a Spell (in your case, Mage Hand).

Which one do you want to commit to?

@Everyone
Heads up with 4/5 initiatives rolled, I will advance the game later this day.

@Everyone.

We are 3/5 on Tokens on the "Falcon's Descent" Map (linked in Campaign Tabs and QM Bar).

Let me know if you need help Accessing the Map?

Players,
I'd like to request you use the Action symbols (in Campaign Tabs and QM Bar) to "summarize" turns as you post. An example.

◇) Drain Bonded Item
◆◆◆) I cast Magic Missile
↺) I Counterspell next enemy spell

Doing so makes it easier for me to adjudicate - I appreciate you ahead of time!

Where do I get, and how do I paste, the little symbols?

at the top of the page there are symbols you can copy and paste into your entry @roahn

◆◆ (testing).

Well, lookie there. It worked.

Slideshow Notes!

Dr Yuen and Jak: Please do not peek past Slide #4

Korvoth and Roahn: Please do not peek past Slide #6

Merdle: Please do not peek past Slide #8

Korvoth - I went ahead and said you passed off your Torch to the good doctor - let me know if you'd like to keep it instead, meaning your sword will start this battle sheathed?...

I had actually been meaning to say, I noted that Korvoth dropped the torch and pulled out his sword when he charged into the room so Dr Yuen having the torch now is correct!

@GM: I don't know what you mean by peak. Do you mean "peek"?

@GM: I don't know what you mean by peak. Do you mean "peek"?

feexed!

Lol. Thanks! Was kinda confused. I was thinking "Does he mean to not move my PC avatar past the peak of the image???”

Yay, Merdle! I was gonna yell for someone to toss a light into the room.

Would it be possible to put a ring to show the radius of the light? I can't decide what to do. An idea of where the light source is will help, especially if it exposes any enemies.

Added it on Slide 8. GM can move it to other slides as needed.

Merdle, I went ahead and moved the Sunrod 20 feet closer to the middle of the map (per Mage Hand).

This should reveal 20 feet bright light in a radius (not diameter!), and another overlapping 40 feet of dim light in a radius.

Just going to keep sliding back the black curtain to "abtract" the radius, although I appreciated your efforts to use yellow circle images (which I do not know how to do yet), even if the radii were half what they needed to be.

Should be fixed now!

@Roahn

18 is a Success!

Go ahead and describe it? How are you using "Acrobatics" to free your comrade from a net?

Teach me to try and throw that up while doing something else. Thanks!
