Dang, I would love to play my archer Inquisitor (level 9) in some of those season 5 scenarios as I've played him with a military responding to the Worldwound. However, it looks like I can only spare 1 scenario otherwise Teric won't be at 31xp before Waking Rune, right? (Or should he be at 30xp before Waking Rune? 30xp = level 11?)
That might be a lot of ranged specialists though, so I also have a anti-magic melee Inquisitor (level 10) if that's better.

30xp = level 11, and I always say play who you want to play.
I am reluctant to bring Aeliah to Elven Entanglement, because she is not a primary healer (no breath of life or the like) and I have heard this scenario has some tough fights.

@Teric: Quiella is at 30xp right now, the concern is that we should be *at least* level 11. You don't need to have exactly 30xp to play Waking Rune.
@Aeliah: Quiella is an Oradin who usually manages to keep herself and most of the party topped off in terms of healing via Life Link. She also can cast *life pact* which is a bit of a poor man's *breath of life*. Something to consider.
Also I just remembered I need to sort out replacing Sèriè.

Short note for Nina but OK for all.

Hey GM Ladile!
I ‘borrowed’ your Night March slides some time ago, and hope you’re OK with me using your Title Page (spot on as always!) and your bear cub tokens.
They are absolutely perfect, as I’m hoping they’re so cute my PCs don't hurt them.
I’m due to run it over VTT for the San Francisco Lodge in about a month.

Hey folks, I hope everyone had a good holiday if you celebrate or a good Saturday if holidays aren't your thing! We finished up the last of our festivities a short time ago so I'll get caught up on the game later today :)
Not a problem! You're always welcome to use what you want of my slide decks :)

Well, I didn't plan for her to escape. Teric wanted to fool her into giving up the baton and then thought we would fight it out. But once she started talking, I was just going with it. Didn't think she would just teleport away.
| GM supervillan |
She'll only fight if she can't negotiate, and she won't give up the baton until right before she teleports.
A hostile party has to fight the lich and two golems - with the way your negotiation went, all ten golems got activated whilst you're still in parlay. No way she can give you the baton at that point until she's sure of getting away.
Aeliah
|
Yeah, to be honest I’m just glad she gave up the golems + magic items, and didn’t renege on the agreement!
Fighting a wizard-lich + ten two-ish golems wouldn’t have been much fun.
Nina Brightspark

Since I realize I never weighed in on which 'series' plan I'd want to go with, I just wanted to state for the record that I'm good with either option since I don't have to burn any replays either way.

Player Name: (for Fate of the Fiend Chronicle) Yours is mined
PC Name: Aeliah
PFS # 69095-5
PC Level: 10
Faction: Dark Archive
Progression Track: Normal
Day Job Roll: Anti-hunting vanity, take 10 survival: 10 + 12 = 22 => 20gp
Pai Kromnite PFS

I’m fine with either path laid out. Pai is going to have to sit out several games in either one, so I’d rather let the actual players decide on their preferred plan.

@GM sv,
The Price of Magical Ranged Ammo has always confused me.
20 arrows cost 1gp. Magic ammo is bought in lots of 50.
So 50 arrows = 2.5gp
The CRB states mwk ammo costs 6gp per item = 300gp in our example.
If we are talking +1 holy arrows, that is an effective +3 enhancement bonus = 18,000gp for 50 arrows
So total cost is 2.5+300+18000 = 18,302.5 gp for 50 or 366.05 gp each
Following the same logic, if the +1 holy arrows were based on mwk cold iron
Cost = 2.5*2 + 300 + 2000 (CI initial enchantment) + 18000 = 20,305 gp for 50 or 406.1 gp each
Have I got this correct?

Your maths looks right to me Aeliah :)
One additional stipulation from the Guide (season 10, p.21) is that you must buy ammunition in standard sized lots (eg arrows always come in 20s, including masterwork arrows; magic arrows always come in 50s) unless a chronicle sheet allows otherwise.

Happy New Year! I hope your celebrations have been as wild or as tame as suits your preference :)
Aeliah
|
And to y'all!
Tame here (Aeliah would be disgusted), but I am looking forward to 2022!
Daedîn
|
Happy New Year to y’all as well! Pretty tame here as well…my exciting New Year consisted of egg nog with Bailey’s and finishing up watching Wheel of Time season 1…
| GM supervillan |
Happy new year folks!
I am travelling all day on Jan 2nd, will pick this up again on the 3rd :)
Nina Brightspark
|
Safe travels!
Teric Cain

Happy New Year, everyone! Tame here too. We are hunkering down a bit so my wife hopefully can go on a trip in early January.

“OH, YEAH!”
I may or may not have read this in the voice of the Kool-Aid Man...
| GM supervillan |
We are pretty much at the end of the run now. I just need to know whether you restore and recover Helsprex's ruined books before I can get chronicles done.
Success conditions:
You achieve your first PP by getting at least 8 golems and the ivory baton back to the Grand Lodge. (Done).
You achieve your second PP by getting at least 9 intact golems out without draining a significant portion of the power of the ivory baton. This is borderline - you've walked those golems around a fair bit in order to close the entrances, and the ivory baton has only limited power. But I'm going to say yes because in the end you could use an obelisk to teleport the golems to your ship, which conserves sufficient charge in the baton.

Commiserations on missing out on your Faction reward for Fiend’s Fate :(
I remember several Season 5 Faction missions where you almost had to read the GM’s mind in order to get them.
Eadie had a very laid-back, player-friendly GM for #5-01 Glass River Rescue (DrGabe if you’re reading this Gerald! Pretty sure you played Ruprecht) but dang! He was hard-nosed about having to cross every ‘t’ and dot every ‘i’ to get the reward.
Needless to say Eadie doesn’t write very good ‘t’s’ and ‘i’s’ ;)
It’s almost like the scenario authors were instructed to go out of their way to make it difficult to get the Faction reward.
| GM supervillan |
Just need your Day Job rolls for the chronicles now folks (except Aeliah, who has already made her roll).
Teric Cain
|
Bluff Day Job (Greenheart's Blessing): 1d20 + 23 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 23 + 2 = 31
Expert Entrepreneur reroll: 1d20 + 23 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 23 + 2 = 42

Craft: Carpentry: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

Game is reported - just Daedîn and Pai on slow track.
Chronicles are here
Let me know if there are any problems. I'll leave this campaign open for a few days before kicking off the rest of the high tier mini campaign. I'm minded to go for option 1, probably start with Elven Entanglement in a week or so :)
Daedîn
|
Thanks, sv, mine looks good!
Y’all kick ass in Elven Entanglement and I’ll hook back up with y’all for the final three. It’s a great scenario and challenging to boot; I’d have used a replay for it but even at slow tracking, I’ve only got three scenarios before I hit 33 xp so I’ll wait for the last 3, none of which I’ve played. See y’all then!
Teric Cain
|
Looks good, SV!
Also, it looks like I miscounted Teric's xp. With the new chronicle, he has 29xp. So I'm going to bring in my Archer Inquisitor for Elven Entanglement and Vengeance at Sundered Crag. Then back to Teric for Ironbound Schism, which will get him that 30th xp just in time for Waking Rune. Does that sound right?
| GM supervillan |
That should work out fine Teric.
I reckon I can squeeze in Where Mammoths Dare not Tread as well, and go for option 2.
Nina Brightspark

My chronicle also looks good; thank you GM!

Chronicle looks good! Thanks for running GM sv.
For Aeliah's Dark Archive faction award, I chose:
Noble Title (Fame 20, 1 PP, Taldor): You gain the following noble title: dame. It grants you few benefits other than an official writ declaring it a legitimate title in the Empire of Taldor, signed by Prince Stavian III himself.
You become specialized in Knowledge (nobility).
This has been added to her Chronicle, so now she can rightly claim to be (adopted) Lady Aeliah of House Raine ;)
Gervase Goldhawkë

Also a reminder I am bringing Gervase to Elven Entanglement.
She is updated, but no rush to start as far as I’m concerned :)
| GM supervillan |
New campaign thread is up!
Go here for The Elven Entanglement and drop your details in the discussion thread, we'll get started once everyone is checked in, and at that point I'll shut down this campaign thread.
