Welcome everyone! I forgot to include it, but go ahead and roll day job rolls now so we're good to go once everything wraps up for chronicle sheets.
Thanks!
Elsha Ustosh |
Earn income, task 0, DC14 (Crafting Alchemy): 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 1 = 16 I think that's 5cp.
Salaish Talenduth |
As always, Salaish scopes out a good corner in town and starts busking.
Performance (earn income): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

Google Slides for Maps and Props!
I've made the google slides page and I need you to place your tokens and fill out Slides 2 and 3 as best you can. Thanks!

Additional questions:
Have you played any of the following? If so, which ones?
Pathfinder Society Scenario #1–16: The Perennial Crown Part 1: Opal of Bhopan
Pathfinder Society Scenario #1–17: The Perennial Crown Part 2: The Thorned Monarch
Pathfinder Society Scenario #1–20: The Lost Legend
Thanks!
Elsha Ustosh |
Have not played any of those.
Flunk Wright, Esq. |
Haven't played any either!
Salaish Talenduth |
I haven't played any of them, either.
Looks like I should probably figure out how to make a round token sometime soon. ;p

Click your token image. Locate the "crop image" button, BUT click the arrow next to it and then "Shapes" to find the shape to crop it to.
Our Mysterious Benefactor |
Please be sure you've checked the Google slides and placed your token! I have also added a slide to track the introduction rewards and who has used them!
Elsha Ustosh |
Salaish will take a cold iron crossbow bolt from that intro reward and give it to Scratch.
Elsha will do the same, I suppose. He rarely gets through his alchemy to mess with weapons.
GM Valen |
Approaching the group is an elf that towers over even other elves. He has an air of beauty about him that is juxtaposed by the large sword strapped to his back. A necklace depicting the triple daggers of Calistria clatters against the chains of his armor. For those who have met the elf previously, his demeanor is shocking, as instead of his normally-hedonistic persona the elf’s face is steeled and solid as he stares intensely at his compatriots.
”Celister Merionis. Nice to meet you. We must fight them, now.”

Since I think this hadn't come up before Elsha's school item was a minor healing potion.
Per party member, that haul of healing potions and anti-conditions is no joke when it comes to some battle getting dicey later on.
I also just noticed you have a slide to track these things (nice!) If you don't mind, can I add a row their for school items so we have all PFS-related consumables in one place?
Elsha Ustosh |
Hello, I just wanted to let everyone know I will be away from access to computers and unable to post this Saturday, 2/27 (all day). I will be back and able to catch up early in the afternoon (US/Pacific time) the next day. Bot me as needed.
Scratch Steeltoe |
We need to chose whether the party will help Attune Gregaro to the Crown OR Defend Pathfinders from the evil fey while the ritual goes on.
Any particular thoughts on this? And, do we have any insight into what might be required 'Attuning' someone? I would expect skills like nature, arcana, religion, etc. I think we all know what goes into killing off mean evil fey.
*Scratch has most skills with a good bonus, except arcana and anything CHA based. He also would excel at extended killing and has 26 crossbow bolts, as well as a few cold iron ones for something mean.
Please weigh in on if you'd rather go the skill check route and save limited resources or hack n slash. At least now casters all have unlimited cantrips. These specials were such a bear with a low level caster and no wands back in 1e.
Elsha Ustosh |
Elsha has good bonuses in many of those too, including Arcana, so could definitely help make the skill route go smoothly (Arcana+8, Nature+5, Occultism+8, Religion+5, Society+8).
He is a bit low on resources, and is in fact down to infused batches for quick alchemy (where he only gets one item per batch) and his prepared "support" items (healing, perception).
Speaking of which...
Go ahead and heal up, get your preparations ready and I will kick off Sunday!
Does this mean we rest enough to recover our daily stuff?
Salaish Talenduth |
Salaish's bonuses:
Arcana +0
Nature +1
Occultism +3
Religion +1
Society +3
But hey, if we need Diplomacy, Deception, or Performance, she goes up to +7!
Or she can kill fey.

I think so, which means Jak would use he Heal spells to max you out before resting.
Elsha Ustosh |
Then that makes Elsha's resource concerns go away. I might replace his Eagle-Eye elixirs with more alchemical bombs.
Any requests for specific mutagens or elixirs before I decide?
Elsha Ustosh |
Ty! Shifting around advanced alchemy a bit before Elsha's turn comes up.
Elsha Ustosh |
NOTE Elsha has two of these that can be used by other party members:
Flunk Wright, Esq. |
I'd like to switch to Ritual Help for this round, if no one else objects.
Salaish Talenduth |
Not Salaish's strong suite, but she's willing to step back so others can shine. I'm okay with a switch for now.
GM Valen |
A hooded figure carrying a white staff approaches the party, and a pair of glowing eyes scans for dangers before emerging from the cloak. Nina's jewelry suggests a more noble background than her mud-stained clothing suggests, but a fresh wound on her neck suggests that she is not as helpless as some assume.
"Nina Jaribu," she announces to those gathered with healer's tools in hand.

**Passing From**: GM Valen
**Passing To**: Our Mysterious Benefactor
**Aid Character Name**: Nina Jaribu (NG female human (aasimar) sorcerer (angelic) 6)

Scratch Steeltoe |
"Thanks Nina." Offers up the rough old Dwarf with a grin. "We got some of those odd tokens kickin' 'round here too if ye want one!"
That does remind me, we should maybe give out some of these tokens?
Our Mysterious Benefactor |
Sure, we have two more left. If you want to boost them, see the slides. The rules are on there!

This is an FYI that I'll be away from computers and unable to post starting this Friday (3/26) evening (US/Pacific time) and until Sunday (3/28). I will be able to catch up and resume posting that evening.

Thanks for the game, GM! It was a pleasure playing with all of you.
