GM Doug's Mountain of Sea and Sky (Inactive)

Game Master Doug Hahn

I will move you on this afternoon when I get time from work.

In lieu of giving hero points (too many might unbalance the game), I want to say that was a lovely little side-scene; thanks Fen & Chulyin!

We'll be taking tomorrow off from posting due to the holiday. (Though if you want to, you certainly can.)

If anyone is traveling and can't post, please let me know. I am happy to discuss pausing for longer during the holiday if the group needs. (We're not traveling, so it's basically a long-ish weekend for Elisa and me, but I want to accommodate every player's needs here!).

I'm in the UK so it's just a regular week for us, but happy Thanksgiving!

We're visiting family this afternoon. No updates till a bit later tonight.

Hero point to Chulyin for passing the spotlight to Farzin, and hero point to Farzin for spending all his hero points so readily! This puts everyone at 1 hero point or the scenario's climactic scene.

By the way I'm glad everyone got a keepsake. Great work sharing the spotlight.

Just a reminder, but circumstance bonus from shield spells won’t stack with the ritual’s circumstance bonus. Biago’s spell is a status bonus so it will stack as long as you’re within the spell radius (5’ until he sustains and expands it).

That's not an illusionary fey.

~3 hours and I'll be in a position to post.

Oh, sorry if I’m confusing folks. I could have been more clear. Yes, the fey is an actual summoned fey, not an illusion.

Farzin is just so good at illusions it's hard to tell what's real and what's not.

Also edited the 10' spread template for Biago.

Ah sorry, I'm in a perpetual state of self-inflicted confusion due to being in six games and having not nearly enough free time to read and post in them all.

It was pointed out to me that the Boom! save was Fort and not Reflex. No functional change: both still regular fails.

Yeah, I noted that too and saw it wouldn't make a difference — thanks. And it's understandable, the flavor makes it seem like reflex save territory.

That was the last combat, so we'll be wrapping up today. I'll post after I finish these work meetings.

(Also, good work. I was concerned about this encounter with the 16-challenge point adjustment, to be honest.)

The dragon hitting it helped a lot!

The battle would have been much more challenging if we hadn’t done as well with the skill challenges. Think I’m going to have to look this one over later in terms of mechanics. I am curious about how the various skill challenges balanced the fight.

One random ally helps at the top of the round starting round 2. When I played it the GM let us choose, but that's not how it's written. (I think choosing would be more fun).

With +18 to hit for 2d10+7 (on the 16-18 adjustment), it's asking for a devastating crit, though. I think the ritual saved two crits, so there's that. And Salliss and Fen are high tier in the low tier, technically. So your ACs are a little bit higher.

I thought it was interesting lots of the debuffs were designed not to stack with party tactics. I think it would be cooler if they did, but maybe that would make it too easy.

That +18 to hit was effectively a +14 between the off balance and us getting +2 AC. It targeting the higher level PCs does help quite a bit.

In any case, it was a fun scenario that I really enjoyed. Thanks for running it for us Doug! I really liked how Zhao Fen played their ancestor curse. Made it much more interesting to read.

Think I’m going to have to search out some 3-6 quests for Salliss, bring him to an even increment of 4 XP.

Working on chronicles. Need some Earn Income rolls from Biago and Zhao Fen!

Happy to GM a quest some time. I hate the odd XP they can give you.

I know Farzin is prepping to run Beginner's Box on PbP soon, too and I will be playing. We need more players for that!

I'd be happy to play that :)

Chronicles here. Let me know if something needs to be changed.

I have not uploaded Biago or Fen's yet as they need to roll earn income. I will upload them and mark the campaign complete when those chronicles are finished.

I have also reported the game. Note that you got 2 bonus rep for Envoy's!

Thanks!

Here's an earn income for me. Crafting jewelry so I get the +1 for specialty crafting

craft: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

Thanks for running! I had fun.

Thanks again Doug for running! It was great playing with everyone again, I really enjoyed this cast of adventurers!

And, yes, I'm looking to run the Beginner Box adventure, Menace Under Otari, if folks are interested.

[dice=craft]d20+12

Thanks for running! I had fun.

Chronicle uploaded for Biago!

I would love to play Troubles in Otari, but I have discovered my limit of concurrent games, I think my sweet spot is 3 or 4, so I need to let a few finish before I foolishly pick up any more.

And Fen is now level 6 Woohoo! Thanks again GM, I posted Fen's earn income in gameplay

Fen's Chronicle is up. We'll now mark this one complete.

I am marking the campaign complete. Thanks, everyone!
