When done with the scenario, Haechi will look for jobs that involve spending hours in libraries, since that's where he'll be anyway; a librarian's assistant or researcher-for-hire would work.

Academia Lore (trained): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Woot Lanturn Lodge! I was so disappointed to find that the original faction had been retired before I started PFS.

Character Name: Ionic Saltbeard
Org Play and Character Number: 108507-2002
Faction: Horizon Hunters
Ancestry, Class and Levels: Dwarf, Ranger 2

Perception: +8 (expert)

Downtime Activity and roll(s): Earn income Lore Sailing: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Ionic is going to spend some of the coin he's been building up for a few sessions now and get:

Player Name/Alias (for Chronicle): Deevor
Character Name: Granitt
Org Play and Character Number: 12784-2002
Faction: Vigilant Seal

Map slides are up. Please fill out your perception as well as other possible initatives for your character on Slide 3. Add your saves as well.

On slide 4 enter your skill modifier IF you want me to roll secret checks for recall knowledge.

Lastly please post here how many GM Glyphys you have and if you have any preference on who gets the extra hero points.

Also for Granitt and Iconic, looks like you are twins. If either of you have another token you would like to use just copy it on to slide 5

Player Name/Alias (for Chronicle): kuey
Character Name: Zelphari Caryarus
Org Play and Character Number: 215076-2004
Faction: Vigilant Seal
Ancestry, Class and Levels: Human (Versatile), Oracle (Tempest), L1

Perception: +2

Downtime Activity and roll(s)

Earn Income, Performance: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Although Zelphari is not a battle oracle, I've built him to be melee, or at least, able to survive a bit in front to support and, hopefully, do a bit of damage.

Granitt has a new look

Player Name: Halgur
Character Name: Zaza the Measure
PFS #: 35206 - 2008
Faction: Vigilant Seal
Slow/Normal Progression: Normal
Ancestry, Class and Levels:Half Orc Sorcerer level 1
Perception:+5
Downtime Activity: Earn Income, Legal Lore: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

I busted out the icon I use for Ionic when not on the boards as well. Sadly there's no way to upload that image to his avatar here though. He's next to Granitt on the icon page. I can also use this image if it would work better.

I don't have anything that gives extra Hero points sadly, but want to start working on getting glyphs soon.

Finally Ionic has the swords training, but will take the default of a minor healing potion instead of the other options his school gives him.

He has no other daily prep.

So by levels we have

Zelphari Caryarus (1)
Zara the Measure (1)
Haechi (1)

Ionic Saltbeard (2)
Granitt (2)

Currently at 10 Challenge points waiting on one more person.

Sorry for not posting recently. Had to bring my laptop to be repaired. Might take a few days. Feel free to bot me in the meantime.

I believe that appealing to their profession would mean use their likely profession skill to influence them. For example the barrister would likely be swayed by legal lore, the smith by crafting or some lore related to smithing, the actor performance possibly and the socialite maybe diplomacy or possibly Absalom lore or genealogy lore.

That makes way too much sense to me :)

Unless someone takes out the Actor this round, I think I might try a Performance roll to appeal to his profession next round.

Ionic tromps up to the barrister and pulls out the forms...

[dice=Society?]1d20+5

Unless these agitators have some really good Will scores, I suspect that Haechi took care of the Barrister. With your nat-20 Society roll you may want to target the Socialite instead.

Standard disclaimer: If you're wondering about my strange posting times, it's because I'm currently living in Spain. If other PbP adventures I've played in are anything to go by, most of you are likely to be posting from North America somewhere. I am some 9 hours ahead of Pacific time and 6 hours ahead of Eastern time, so I go to bed sometime in your mid-afternoon and get up sometime in the very early morning.

And Spain is 1 hour ahead of the UK ...... where I reside, on the sunny south coast near Portsmouth.

I even work for a Spanish company, one day I might get a trip to HQ in Madrid. So where in Spain Haechi?

I'm currently laying low in sunny Valencia on the Mediterranean coast.

Nice, got a good racing circuit there, want to get there someday to watch MotoGP.

Hero point to Haechi for bringing in "We Be Heroes"

Thanks for the hero point, but the truly sublime piece of writing that was "We Be Heroes" is hard to erase from one's memory.

Thought I'd bought a Healer's Kit, but not on the sheet. Will check my certs to see if I bought one and the sheet is out of date, or I was an idiot and forgot to buy one. If I did, I'll attempt to do some medicine on anyone that wants it.

Ifyou did not can we not share kits? Or is that a no-no?

Wait, I think with the new rules from the start of season 2, we can only get one item per mission.

You are correct. Only one of the potions is Haechi's free consumable. The other one is the one we got from Calisro at the party that we ended up not using after the ritual when Granitt's Lay on Hands took care of all the healing.

Ifyou did not can we not share kits? Or is that a no-no?

I've never had an issue with sharing kits, though usually it is thieves tools that get shared after a crit fail.

Treat Wounds takes 10 minutes per person and Lay on Hands is instantaneous, with a 10 minute recharge time. Lay on Hands gives back 6 hp every time. Treat Wounds averages 9 hp but you need to make a DC 15 medicine check, which for Granitt is a 55% chance, for an overall average of about 5 hp of healing.

Lay on Hands is the better option.

We are nearing the end. I am going to wrap things up this weekend. Just a little more investigation.

Ok. We have wrapped up. I already wrote up the Chronicles

Got the chronicle. Looks good to me.

Thanks everyone for making this such an enjoyable experience. Look forward to adventuring with you again in the future.

Ditto (what Haechi says) .... :-)

Yeah, thanks for running the game! Enjoyed it.

Yay! Second level. Everything looks good. Thank you very much for running this.

Thanks for running this! I had a lot of fun, and it was nice to have some dwarven comradery! Hope I can see everyone in another game some where!
