[OSP] GM PaleDim's PFS# 06-12 Scions of the Sky Key, Part 2 (Inactive)

Game Master PaleDim

Soleil, does your Eidolon have a profile?

(moving over here for non-recruitment things for the already-accepted players)

BTW, duettist gives a Bard a familiar, Talethia has a little Raccoon named Tiny that knows Burglar tricks. His stat block is in Talethia's Character profile.

Got it. Let me know if you end up setting up a separate profile for it. I'll add it to the slides as a separate initiative a bit later.

BTW, initial slides. I'd like to give at least another day or two to see if we get a #6.

I havenot played part 1. If you wanted to do it, I'd be up for that as well.

Well, I was more asking because it helps me with the initial scene setup.

Even while we give more time for a 6th player, I'm thinking of posting a pre-intro that gives characters time for introductions since there are continuing and new members. There's a good chance I'll post that tonight, and if we don't have a 6th by the time that peters out, we'll move on.

Sound good everyone?

Sounds good to me :)

Posted! And we're off. With the sixth entrance.

* Gaskar: Rogue 1
* Ki Chin: Magus 3
* Ari-Ani: Rogue 4
* Talethia: Bard 3
* Soleil: Summoner 1
* Meux: oracle 1

APL is 2.16, so that rounds down to tier 1-2.

Got it. Let me know if you end up setting up a separate profile for it. I'll add it to the slides as a separate initiative a bit later.

He's got his own profile now.

This is an FYI that I'm going to be away and without access to internet this coming Saturday and Sunday. I will return Sunday evening, when I will catch up on weekend posts. Given the weekend policy (1 post overall), I expect minimal disruption.

How do you guys want to proceed with the ants? Should we try throwing some of the spice roots their way?

Does anyone have burning hands or some type of AoE spell? Unless someone can speak with vermin, I don't think we want to waste too much time on this.

I have an empowered burning hands I cast a Cl 2 due to racial and starting traits-as a Theologian he has 1 prepared in his Domain slot and 1 prepared in his normal slot. It looks like this is an inevitable fight. Taking suggestions on how to proceed

These are vermin....let's just burn them. We've got no one who peaks pheramone.

How about we start off with the AoEs then any ranged touch spells or bombs if anyone has any?

Sorry, busy couple of days. For the future, Tiny will stick with Talethia and delay to see what she wants him to do.

@Party - Honestly, I think we just run past the swarm. Grab the body and we drag it with us. I am not sure we have the means to kill these things and I'm not going to waste a bunch of alchemist fires.

@GM - correct me if I'm wrong, but we only take damage if we end our turn in their square, correcT?

Swarm Attack: Creatures with the swarm subtype don’t make standard melee attacks. Instead, they deal automatic damage to any creature whose space they occupy at the end of their move, with no attack roll needed.

Correct

Gaskar doesn't have anything more that he can do. Should've bought more alchemist fires! I'm fine with running in, grabbing the body, and getting out of there. Not how successful we'll be though.

I'll note that dragging a body is going to be generally slower than a swarm can move.

I'll note that dragging a body is going to be generally slower than a swarm can move.

With two people dragging it?

What about with one person carrying the body?

Alternatively we tie a slip knot, put it around the dead dude's foot, and then drag him from a safer distance.

I'm hoping the GM is willing to reward problem solving.

Sure, but do you need the whole body? That may not be the actual problem to solve. On a closer look you might see details and reconsider. Gaskar just got over there and is starting to see.

In the absence of weapons effective against swarms, your suggestion to the party above, plus what Gaskar is just seeing, may be sufficient problem solving.

Right, I planned on searching the body.

Are the ponies expendable? I believe Meux is gearing up to release another round of hot fury on the remaining swarm...

]Okay, so I've got the perception part (yeah wow that rarely comes up) but not the take 10 part. I understand that Perception allows retry "as long as the stimulus is present," but in that case that means re-tasting the potion many times and you've essentially consumed it.

So yeah...Take 10 is only one try. You're thinking of Take 20 which is multiple tries.

Hmm, yeah I thought I remembered those two working the same way but being scaled differently. Looking again, I guess not.

There are characters still showing lost hps from the last combat, I believe, in their subscripts-everyone was healed to full after the last battle...

Gaskar are you doing nonlethal for capture purposes?

Gaskar doesn't care too much about capturing and is likely to just leave an unconscious body after the fight.

For his build, trying to do a nonlethal/intimidate build using Sap Master/Enforcer/Shatter Defenses/etc. So just starting him out early with the nonlethal damage!

Sorry for the delay, the Paizo site has been flaky this evening.

Forgot to update my HP after the heal

"A spell-like ability has no verbal, somatic, or material component, nor does it require a focus."

Does this mean that you can cast a spell-like-ability from a successful stealth check without revealing yourself?

Yes, I believe that's right.

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it! I'm going to give a little longer for Talethia to post. This is in fact the last stage of the chase, and so far you've all done as well as you possibly can: max successes and got the fruit.

I'm going to hand-wave retrieving the rope you'd previously used to climb down, and assume you grab it once you make it to the top.

Happy Thanksgiving to you!

I am thankful to be here with all of you other excellent beings of livingness! Happy holidays!

May the blessings of Sarenrae and whomever else you believe in (or not) be upon all of you. Stay safe and well!

I hope everyone had a relaxing and peaceful holiday. I'm going to move us forward tomorrow evening (US/Pacific time).

Do we get time to take any actions after crawling out of the ravine? Seem like it takes some time to reach the village

Sorry, Thanksgiving got busy, been doing things with kids, etc... And, about to get interrupted again... hopefully will get back to post today. >.<

Do we get time to take any actions after crawling out of the ravine? Seem like it takes some time to reach the village

The knowledge check for the pear, but little to nothing else. Are you looking to have weapons pre-drawn or is there something else you're thinking?

Sorry, Thanksgiving got busy, been doing things with kids, etc... And, about to get interrupted again... hopefully will get back to post today. >.<

Understood. You aren't holding up the round right now. If you won't be able to post before mid-day tomorrow (US/Pacific time) let me know!

Ari-Ani was gong to cast Longstrider on herself after climbing out of the ravine.

Does the 30' radius of channel energy emanate up as well as out?

While I can't immediately find anything on that, it seems reasonable that it would be a dome in 3-D. So 30' straight up, only 20' up a block or two away, etc etc.

Sorry about the confusion, I had +1 from the inspire courage the roll of 10 is correct- the equation should have been 1d20 +1 (CON) +1 (Inspire Courage) -6. If I do not get the bonus from the bard the outcome of the roll should be 9

Sorry again for the confusion

An affected ally receives a +1 morale bonus on saving throws against charm and fear effects and a +1 competence bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls.

No worries, I wasn't applying it per the above definition. Meux still has until -12 to stabilize, and I see some party members might have potions and/or wands of CLW.

Is it 1/2 movement to ascend the ladder and did i move Meux at the correct spot?

Yes, that looks like one move action from your previous position to the ladder.

I'll be offering to run Part 3 in the near future, but will not going to put up a recruitment until next weekend.

Just so I have an idea, how many of you would be interested in continuing once I get started? Technically, for it to be an OSP game I cannot reserve all of the spots, but if you all want to continue I can use a personal event code (I just won't be able to offer any boons from that).

Ki Chin will see this through to the end. Might be better to send me a PM once you have it up.

Gaskar would love to continue as well!

I'm game...3XP is Level 2 correct? If so then I will advance

Yes, you get one level per 3 XP, and most PFS scenarios grant 1XP (including this one).

Chronicles might slip to tomorrow or Tuesday, as I'm having a busier evening that I thought (but, no worries, it isn't going to put time pressure on you regarding the next part).
