[PFS] Your House of Harmonious Wisdom (Inactive)

Game Master Yours is mined

Rules for the Chase Mini-game:

Instead of resolving this chase using the chase rules or as a combat, the PCs have 3 rounds in which to succeed at a number of skill checks equal to =REDACTED=

Each skill check represents one round of action, and a PC cannot use the same skill more than twice.

So long as a player can explain how she might use a skill to close in on Jiang, it’s a valid option.

Examples include using Acrobatics to leap a hedge, Climb to scale a wall, Intimidate to convince Jiang to stop, or Stealth to sneak up on Jiang or avoid Zheng or University Security.

Additionally, if a PC uses a spell in a clever way, it counts as a success without requiring a skill check.

I imagined this to be chase so I do not believe that the position on the map is that important now?

Put Magdelina squarely into the fountain for the next little while... :P

Kenji: yeah sorry I had missed your comment about jumping over the hedge, I immediately deleted my post after I saw that. sorry for the confusion

You've got it, Kenji. The chase is an abstraction/theater of the mind per the scenario.

I apologize for being MIA having real life swamp me.

Hi GM, I made two acrobatic and one intimidate check. Do I have one more?

Real Life trumps Gaming Always™

Hope things settle down for you soon, Brand.

@Kenji, I believe your first acrobatics check >>here<< related to the diversion to aid Jiang enter the building and steal your map successfully ;)

The Chase did not begin until seven posts later.

TL/DR: Yes! You still have one skill check to make ;)

Ahh sorry!! :-D

Ugh! My last two rolls have been what's-for-fail! Tried, ya'll.

Sorry, people.

RL has knocked me for six today.

I will be back tomorrow with Jiang Fei's comments on your style.

Nice to see Daysie make an appearance ;)

Sorry I was MIA yesterday - had a dental emergency

Oh crap. We got only two days to finish, don't we?

ALL play-by-post games will begin on May 28th and must end no later than 11:59pm (PDT GMT -07) on July 11th.

I was honestly surprised there was more after the school. Are we in trouble of not finishing? Has Paizo said anything regarding this? PFS1 naturally are just longer games, so curious why that date was picked.

PaizoCon HQ has extended the ‘deadline’ to Tuesday, July 13th, but that’s hardly makes a difference for us seeing we are not close to being finished.

Because boon rolls/prizes were sorted out weeks ago, we actually have a fair amount of leeway to get our game completed at an ‘enjoyable pace.’ See the quote immediately below

If your games will not be completed by then, please report as much as you can anyway and add a note with a projected end-date so we can keep an eye on it in case we're asked. It's easier to edit a report after the fact than to explain to players and Paizo why the convention is missing reports.

My intention is to:

1. Report the game on July 13, with a projected end-date of another 4-6 weeks

2. Continue the game with those that wish to play on to the end.

I can supply Chronicles at that time for those that DO NOT wish to continue. Of course, those players will only get rewards + prestige for completing 3/5 quests.

3. Issue Chronicles once the game is completed, reporting any edits to the Reporting Data Table on Paizo.com, if something has changed. (eg, a PC has died.)

If anyone has questions or concerns about this plan, please let me know here or via PM.

If you could also please let me know whether you wish to continue past the current 'Jade Ogre Style' quest, that would be grand.

Razisus will remain until the end!

I’m here until the end.

Awesome. Yeah, I'm sticking around for sure. It's been great, just astounded how much content there is. How on earth this is all expected to be done within 5 hours real time blows me away.

I would also like to continue

Yes I wish to complete it 100%

Excellent!

You are all my heroes ♥

I have no problem continuing, though I have been quite forgetful checking the site so my apologies to all and in the future bot Brand as needed for healing ;)

Does it look like all 4 are about the same... rank? Or is one more experienced-looking/better outfit/whatever?

They all look to be students of about the same age and skill.

Radiarch is down. I had 12 HP NL after Raz' burst heal, but drops after that first flurry of blows. Can't post till later today.

Hi GM: We just realized that as an outsider Kenji cannot be enlarged. I adjusted the map and please deduct 1 fro to hit and damage.

No problem, Kenji and will do!

It's early Monday morning in the US and Canada as I type this, so I'm going to give the others a bit more time before I update the game.

After looking over damage, the first hit from yellow took me down to 0 (staggered), second round of blows puts me at unconscious/helpless at -8.

@Radiarch, I am very confused.

What is your current AC?

Oh... I was ignoring the result of your attacks and only looking at damage. Sorry.

Will have to post my move tomorrow morning, US time.

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 Razisus in my absence.

OOOO camp! So fun! I grew up at a summer camp, so did my partner <3 I flirted with girl scouts a bit but couldn't get into any of the topics/badges they were offering for girls my age (brownies).

Have fun w/ the kiddo!

OK Radiarch, I'll wait for your next post.

Both my girls do scouts -- well my oldest has finished now, but the youngest still has a year or two to go.

Have fun, Razisus and hopefully you get some sleep!

Eagle Scout here o/

I have four more Lay on Hands, but inquiring if anyone was planning to do heal bombs? The day's not quite up yet, so didn't want to use all mine up just yet unless I knew for sure.

It looks like we have time to study that comb. Raz, do you have anymore heal bursts, or GM, should we just assume we heal up before setting out either the next day or following?

so far every "episode" has been self contained in a separate day - I assume it will be the same after this one? We have, what, two left, I think?

- ruined manor w/ giant panda
- school map
- jade ogre punching
- ?
- ?

I think you're right, but I don't wanna put it past the writers with a "gotcha" :)

We have, what, two left, I think?

Yep. Three down, two to go!

Unusually quiet around here. All good?

Yessir!

Two VTT games for me today. GM'd one, played another. Just caught up on all the paperwork.

Expect a Gameplay update within 24 hours.

No rush. Got family in town anyway. If I'm not there to respond to the NPC, someone else feel free to carry the conversation.

No rush at all! Your posts are so high quality! :-D

Indeed! I will say, while I previously stated this scenario felt longer than others, I feel like it flourishes in PBP. There's so many details I would of missed or had to gloss over at a convention or game store table. Here I can really dig into the lore and care about the individual characters. When I first made Radiarch, I was honestly worried he'd be to wooden personality wise, but he's really grown on me and I developed his backdoor as I went. I'm so glad I went with Erastil for him because having him focus so much on family (one of his domains) added such a weight to his motivation I've never gotten to explore before. This has been really fun, everyone. Thank you!

Sorry folks I zoned out - real life has gotten to me the last few days - I'll post in the morning

sorry for the delay a second time - migraine knocked me on my ass yesterday. Finally updated <3

New map looks a bit squished. I tried stretching it so the boxes appear more square but it seemed to break it. I'll let either the GM or someone with more capability than I with the app to fix it. :)

I'm very sorry for my sudden detachment - my mental health has taken a nosedive in the last few weeks. I will still of course try to check in, but feel free to bot me as necessary to move along.

Hang in there, Keiko.

For the next hour, day, week … whatever time frame works for you.

Please, please know you are awesome as a person and I am pulling for you!

Seconded on that. You've all been great to play with. This has been a great group!

I'll third that. Summer is always a weird time for me. I loved it as a kid, but as an adult, going to work in the heat while everyone splashing around isn't that great... ;)

Yeah, life in general places a lot of stressors on mental health and some of us have more to deal with than others. The past year+ has only made things worse.

I'm enjoying this table and having fun, but that shouldn't come at the expense of anyone's personal well-being.
