#9-16: Fallen Family, Broken Name - PaizoCon 2021 - GM Nowruz (Inactive)

Game Master noral

This is a PaizoCon 2021 game.

It seems this game will be high tier.
As I do not have a character available in that level range, I'd like to play a pre-gen: Kyra level 4.
Having a cleric is always good for a party, isn't it? ;-)

Also, just for info:
The link to this thread has not been posted on warhorn yet.

Tatho should be ready to go by start time, but I have other options if needed.

~~~

This game will start on Monday evening May 31so that you can play the characters of this game in VTT games during PaizoCon.

~~~

PLEASE FILL OUT SLIDES 2 to 4 please.

Checking the records, it looks like Tatho has leveled out, so I'm planning on bringing my alchemist instead. I'll do so more intensive book-keeping this weekend to confirm his availability but it looks like he should be good to go.

Hello everyone!

I'm updating Zeldana and her pet Winnie to level 4 right now. Zeldana has sneak attack and is built for melee, so most likely will be up ahead trying to flank enemies with the fighter and/or her pet.

Kyra is reporting for duty!

Sheets are updated.

Lorimyr is ready to go!

Have you all filled out the details in the slides?

Everyone- please go ahead and roll a single D20 here for a PaizoCon gift voucher or boon. If you roll a 1, 2 19, or 20 you win ... something.

A natural 19-or-20 are winners of Paizo gift vouchers!

A natural 1-or-2 are winners of a boon! Please roll a d10 to determine which one.

If you win, I will need your name and email address.

Hello everyone,
I will be on a mini vacation which was not planned.

I will be back on Sunday and will only make GM posts again on Monday.

Please RP as you wish until then!

All the best!

I am going on vacation for the next week. I should be able to post like normal, though will likely be limited to the standard 1 post per day. Feel free to bot/skip as needed to keep the game moving!

I will be traveling June 11th through the 20th and expect to have limited ability to post, if any, during much of that time.

Please feel free to bot Wulthur as needed. Botting instructions have been created and are posted at the top of Wulthur's profile.

Have fun!

Can one of you please take over the botting?

I'll be unable to post until tomorrow, June 16. Please bot me if need be!

Travel to the Irrica estate from Almas takes 14 days by horse

@Henrikuaxian: This should be plenty of time to copy the spells from the scrolls. I'll suggest you do it during the trip.

Lorimyr will also copy Henrikuaxian's spell book if that's alright, as well as craft a few items.

Of course. If you want me note anything on the chronicle sheets then write it in the last column of the table on the slides.

Hokay, so, time for the big table variance question of the day. I have the feat Effortless Trickery, which allows me to concentrate on illusion spells with a swift action instead of the normal standard action.
1) Does this allow me to cast another spell with my standard action while maintaining my illusion with my swift action?
2) What about using a wand while concentrating on the illusion?

I would say yes to both question.

I have an unexpected eye-surgery coming up tomorrow and may not be able to post in the next few days. Please bot me accordingly.

Good luck with the surgery! I had an unexpected procedure yesterday as well, and my #1 recommendation is to relax before your appointment... stress / fear makes everything unbearable...

We have about week to finish our PBP PaizoCon online.

The way this particular scenario works I will report two of the tasks as done (we are on track for that much at least). I will then run the rest as a 'personal' game and issue the chronicle for full credit after we’re finished.

Kyra has rested and prayed for new spells.

I am recovering from the surgery which went well. A (real life) regeneration spell would have been better, though...
Thanks for the good wishes! :-)

could we perhaps skip the skill checks/investigation parts and do the boss fights? some of us brought builds to roll dice with! ;)

I wish you a speedy recovery!

Hello everyone, I have to report this game as the con is ending. As said we will finish this in our pace.

Please make sure that your detail in the table in the slides for reporting is accurate as I will not be able to correct anything.

Thanks

@Wulthur the Bold:
Your entry on Slide 11 (click me!) is missing completely.
It is needed for the reporting, so it's kind of urgent that you fill it as soon as possible...

Hi guys, this concludes the third quest!

I am on vacation for the next week and will return to then continue the next parrt. We can finish that in two week. I am also on vacation two week from August 6 so I expect the last part to finish end of August.

I am taking my youngest to scout camp for the first time. I am leaving Thursday and don't expect to post between then and Monday, July 26. Please feel free to bot Wulthur in my absence.

Hi guys,
If many of you are not interested to continue then I can also just finish this quest and then issue chronicle sheets for the quests so far.

This would also work for me as my bandwidth is not the best currently.

By the way:
I’m going on vacation again for two weeks starting Aug 7. :-D

I would very much like to continue, but will follow the majority vote...

@GM Nowruz: Stay safe and healthy on your vacation!

Can you just run us through the boss fight GM Nowruz? this game is from PaizoCon right? Should have been done a while ago. It's not really fun to play this long and miss out on some of the gold or PPs... I think that due to summer everyone just wanna roll some dice and skip the walls of text between vacations you know...;)

How about we try to finish it all before your next August 7 vacation?

I don’t know how the others feel about Zeldana‘s suggestion?

That, or I'll try to put more efforts in my posts to move things fwd! ;)

PS: we are lucky with this group here as everyone is experienced; what about the other game where I play a cleric? Some of the players appear a bit new to PbP (probably Con attendees who wanted to try PbP for the first time perhaps) I will say that the module is VERY challenging in for new players (both the plot and monsters are complicated). You may want to give them suggestions or they may just abandon this (I.e. melee dwarf trying to shoot incorporeal things with a crossbow instead of readying actions to hit them is perhaps indicative of a need for coaching)

I'm still in to finish the adventure and have no need to rush. I have been dealing with my wife being hospitalized these past two weeks and apologize for not mentioning it sooner.

Putting on my VO hat, I don't think that the GM can simply skip ahead to the boss fight. The scenario must be "run as written", which includes the mechanical challenges and other encounters.

A player always has the right to leave a table if they so choose, although, depending upon when they leave, the player may not get the full rewards/benefits of the scenario/quest. As this scenario has been reported, there may be some complications with this (so the ideal would be finish the quest pack out), but it can be done.

If the GM wishes to leave the game (and there may be real life or other reasons for doing so), then he or she should contact a Venture Agent and see if the remainder of the game can be covered.

I am happy to try and answer any further questions or discuss other options (to the extent they may or may not exist), if you'd like.

Putting my player hat back on, I am fine with continuing at whatever pace is necessary to accommodate the schedules of the GM and players.

Same here, VO Lysle. Bottom line is that I want to finish all the quests with this character, even if this means finding a replacement GM to see it through. I think we can finish it in 6 days though if both the GM and players kinda put some effort into it...

Sorry, was away for the weekend, and I left right before everything picked up! Yeah, I'm good to push it to finish it.
