Players,
I am down with a little friendly antagonism so long as it remains that; friendly antagonism. After all, your very survival will become mutually dependent!
(Just in case...)
DM

Hi all, I was just having a bit of fun playing around with phoenix's dismissiveness. I'm fine with a bit of banter, and thought it was a funny little interaction between the two as we are waiting for the briefing. If anyone is not cool with that I'll adjust going forward. Obviously we have to work together and looking forward to some fun with everyone!

Players,
We are 3/5 in Gameplay and 4/5 in Discussion.
I will post Mission Briefing when we are 5/5 in both.
Please do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have here (in Discussion)!

Player Name: Muzouka
PFS / Character Number:# 259896-2001
Character Ancestry / Background / Class / Level: Versatile Human(Taldan) / Gambler / Rogue(Thief) 2
Downtime Skill / Task Level / Task DC / Die Result / Outcome: Gambling(Lore: Games)/task lvl 1/DC 14/Gambling: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

That is 5cp I think?

We are 3/5 Gameplay and 5/5 Discussion!

If you have not done so, please make a first post in Gameplay!

That is 5cp I think?

Quests (such as this) offer 2 Days worth of Downtime for most PCs.

Using your Task Level to cross-reference Earn Income gives you a Daily Rate, taking into account your Proficiency as well as Outcome.

For most PCs, the Task Level is two lower than their Character Level (Minimum 0).

Let me know if that makes sense?

So I get 10 cp for the two days of downtime

We are 4/5 Gameplay and 5/5 Discussion - almost ready to officially start!

So I get 10 cp for the two days of downtime

Looks like so.

If you wouldn't mind amending your "Downtime Skill / Task Level / Task DC / Die Result / Outcome" entry to reflect that?

Player Name: Muzouka
PFS / Character Number:# 259896-2001
Character Ancestry / Background / Class / Level: Versatile Human(Taldan) / Gambler / Rogue(Thief) 2
Downtime Skill / Task Level / Task DC / Die Result / Outcome: Gambling(Lore: Games)/task lvl 1/DC 14/Gambling: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15 = 5cp * 2 days = 10cp

Check In (Phase Two)

Faction:
GM Glyphs:
Slotted Boons:
Network Items:
Additional Preparations:

Let me know if you have any questions about these five entries!?

Faction: Envoy's Alliance
GM Glyphs: NA
Slotted Boons: Envoy's Alliance Champion
Network Items: Scroll of burning hands
Additional Preparations:
Focus Spell: Genie's Veil
cantrips: shield, ray of frost, produce flame, chill touch, detect magic
level 1: burning hands, illusory disguise, mage armor (Mar-Kaw casts mage armor every morning)

Faction: Envoy's Alliance
GM Glyphs: NA
Slotted Boons: One-who-waits(Slotless), Doom Averted(General), Sand Slide(Reaction)
Network Items: Minor healing potion
Additional Preparations: Bought the following:
Lesser Alchemist's Fire(2)
Lesser Bottled Lightning(2)
Minor healing potion(2)

Given this is both mine (and more importantly the character’s) first Pathfinder Society mission, I believe this is correct:

Faction: Radiant Oath
GM Glyphs: None
Slotted Boons: None
Network Items: Owl Bear Claw
Additional Preparations: None

I’m sure you’ll correct me if I have misunderstood the guide…

We are 3/5 here - please ask questions if you need assistance (or suggestions?)!

@Korvo - looks legit to me! (I see you chose "Scrolls School" Training?)

@Maximilian - I will note on your Chronicle Sheet at this journey's conclusion!

@Mar-kaw - you too (that healing potion)!

Faction: Radiant Oath
Glyph: none
Boons: none
Items: Scroll of magic missles

Items: Scroll of magic missles

Magic Missile is no longer and option.

Check out Campaign Resources above for a list!

no more magic missile in the school items is a real big oof...

@Korvo - looks legit to me! (I see you chose "Scrolls School" Training?)

Yes - it fitted in with the character better than simply taking an item :)

Dang, I guess Magic Weapon then. Sad, that list doesnt include Soothe either.

Yeah my occult spellcasters not happy with the list of scrolls either. hope they make some adjustments to that list!

Also @korvo, You might want to double check the lore skills available for scrolls school then. you have gladatorial lore listed as your PFS training skill, but thats only availablie for swords school training

Also @korvo, You might want to double check the lore skills available for scrolls school then. you have gladatorial lore listed as your PFS training skill, but thats only availablie for swords school training

My understanding of the rules was:

When creating your character, you gain 3 networking points to distribute among the Scrolls, Spells, and Swords schools. These represent the amount of effort and attention your character dedicated to those schools while training as an initiate.

The benefits you gain from each school depends on the number of networking points you invest in it, and the benefits are cumulative:
1 Point: When selecting your free consumable item at the beginning of the adventure, you can choose one of the items on the school’s list of options.
2 Points: You become trained in one of the Lore skills associated with that school.

For Korvo, the Networking Points were allocated as: Spells 0, Scrolls 1, Swords 2 – which translated into a PC Level 1 Scrolls item and a Swords Lore skill.

They just updated the rules for School training last week, they got rid of the point system. So you now have to choose a school, you get one item from that schools list and a free lore training from the list of the same school. This can be found on the new player guide to organized play

Mar-Kaw - many thanks, I'll update my character accordingly :)

It seems all I need to do is swap my consumable to Oil of Mending and I'm sorted...

no problem! it was a really recent update and theres been a fair bit of confusion about converting characters, but they posted a blog about that as well on the paizo main page. Essentially if you currently have school training you can choose any of the 5 options (the 4 previous options as well as the new generalist option) and if you were previously a field agent you remain a field agent!

Players,
I'm putting a 24 hour deadline on Checking In. I feel as though I was clear in my Posting Expectations, and don't feel it's fair to hold up the game on account of a single player.
Cheers.

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:

Korvo
Lucky
Maximilian
Mar-Kaw

Apologies for not posting.

The 'knot' post was intended to be fluff only - Korvo has no skills that would naturally help her on a ship and I would not have assumed Acrobatics would have helped her remember how to tie a knot.

Sorry about that, didnt check monday night and yesterday I got really swamped. I'll have something up shortly.

Wait... where did Keligaul go? Did he fall off the boat?

Wait... where did Keligaul go? Did he fall off the boat?

After a week of no response, I made the hard decision to move forward with just four.

Expect a big post later tonight!

I am not sure which position would be better when investigating: should I go in front of the sorcerer or at the back?

Ruby will scout in front unless someone else wants to join her.

I figure Lucky could act as a wall if we run into something. Spear could be used for an opening throw before closing in with his regular tactics. He will leave the investigation up to you guys hes just gonna act as the incredibly handsome muscle and you know... comic relief

Max will investigate.
Are companions allowed to do scouting actions?

Korvo?

Bot her?

She obviously grabs the remaining items and is infront with Lucky. She would probably be wielding her rapier and a dagger in her off hand ready for close combat on the boat. What action sounds good? Searching or investigating seems the simple options.

Super long day I'm beat - expect big post tomorrow!

Players,
Consider putting a "Default Exploration Mode" tactic in your Character Bar, as it allows you to easily switch them between scenes, and allows me to apply them immediately transitioning between scenes.

You can see Mar-Kaw has "Exploration mode-Detect Magic" as an example is his Character Bar.

If you have any questions, please ask here!

...

@Max - for the purposes of Exploration Mode, I count you and Ruby as a team, collectively applying a single Activity. To answer your question upthread.

Let it be known, in underwater combat Lucky is so screwed... but that's not gonna stop him from bumbling onward

Busy week folks - hang tight! - post coming tonight or tomorrow morning!

No worries! totally get the busy week, I've had one myself. update when ya can.

Players,
As you all formulate your Plan for the next Scene, I will hold a Vote for which party member gets the bonus Hero Point.

Taking Nominations now!

Nominating Keligual for his amazing invisibility durring this adventure.... but seriously, having re read though some of our adventure so far I choooose

Mop, captain, Ruby. Mop, captain, Ruby. After the third time the Taldan seems to get a hold of himself and shrugs before looking at Ruby. "Well girl, it looks like it's time to do some, ugh, honest work." he complains good naturedly and starts whistling as he mops.

Athletics: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

For how sparkling clean the deck was

Could someone help me 'find' the map link - I simply can't see it...

And I'd be glad to second Max

If you look in the bar of info above any of the gms posts there is a link if you click on grehundes forget. Right before it says Korvo (1/1)

^^ Link is called "Grehunde's Gorget", directly under my name "DM rainzax"
