I won't be playing this PC during Paizocon, but I will be playing a bunch of real time games through Sunday, so my preference would be to start our PbP on Monday.
Also, I'll be on vacation June 1-6 - shouldn't affect my posting ability much, though it may limit me to only posting at night after I get my kid to bed.

Hi all, I've experienced a family medical emergency over the weekend; my mother is now in Hospice care. I've requested a replacement GM for my PaizoCon games, as I just don't have the bandwidth to run games during this crisis.
I wanted you to know as soon as possible; I know you'll have just as good an experience with a replacement GM in my stead. Thanks for your understanding. Best of luck and good gaming.

Introduction
Greetings all, GM Ladile reporting in. For those that may not have seen the notes over on the Warhorn discussion for this table, I'll be picking up the game for GM Zin.
For ease of use, especially since everyone has already checked in here, my current plan is for us to continue making use of this campaign thread rather than migrating to a new one and I've sent an email off to Paizo customer service to see about getting ownership shifted over to me. That said, should GM Zin happen to check in and would prefer us to use a new campaign thread, I'm happy to oblige.
I know I've GMed for a couple of you before but for those unfamiliar with me, I enjoy the fun and creativity that being a GM allows and I love having players willing to get into the story and interact with it and with each other. So have fun! Be creative!
While I do try my best to run my games in accordance with the rules of Pathfinder and Organized Play, I will occasionally make mistakes. Please don't be afraid to point them out but also please do not assume malicious intent, especially if I get something wrong to the 'detriment' of a character. I'm not that kind of GM. If mistakes are made, we'll get them sorted.
As far as posting rate goes, I generally do my best to adhere to at least 1 or 2 GM posts a day. That said, I work a night shift job in healthcare. My sleep schedule is a hot mess. So...while you're more likely to see posts from me in the evening/late hours CST, you might also see some at high noon or other random times.
I also see that the majority of the group would strongly prefer to officially begin on Monday, May 31st. This works out fine for me, as it gives me plenty of time to read over the scenario and get my prep taken care of.
As a final note, I will be traveling out of town June 10th-14th and likely will have little to no time to progress the game during that period.
______________
Other Random Notes
Please make a note of any purchases that you wish to do prior to scenario start; you'll also have a chance to make additional purchases before the meat of the action kicks off as well.
You may make your Day Job checks now or at the conclusion of the scenario, whichever works best for you.
We will resolve any questions to do with Faction Journal cards at the conclusion of the scenario.
Please try to check the game at least once or twice a day during the week and at least once during weekends. If your character has nothing to say or contribute to the action in Gameplay, just toss a note here in Discussion to let me know that you're still around and following the game.
If you have any particular 'botting' instructions for your character during combat encounters, please post them on your character profile. Characters that do not have botting information will be put on Delay in the event that the player is unable to post in a timely manner (~24 hours) during a combat round.

Welcome, GM Ladile! Thanks for helping out.
Well, mistakes are bound to happen on either side, it's only human.
We will sort it out and carry on. ;-)
And I'd never assume malicious intent, especially in such a great community like PFS! :-D
Hellebore Vasilieva

Thanks for jumping in, GM Ladile! Glad to have you aboard.
| GM Zin |
That said, should GM Zin happen to check in and would prefer us to use a new campaign thread, I'm happy to oblige.
I have no objection to keeping this same thread. In fact, if you don't mind, I'd love to lurk; it would make me happy to see the table in action.
I've played at GM Ladile's tables before; you all are in for a treat. Thanks so much for taking over for me.
Bocke Reed

Well, mistakes are bound to happen on either side, it's only human.

Birseko Naam

Thanks so much for stepping in, GM Ladile! Looking forward to this game.
Fyi, I will be on vacation June 1-6. I should be able to post, but perhaps not as frequently as normal.
Birseko Naam

Busily packing for trip, may not manage to get a post in gameplay until Wednesday, but I'm here :-)

Oh and where are the slides for this?
| GM Ladile |
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
I'm currently occupied for another couple of hours but I will get us rolling later this afternoon/evening, including posting slides.
Riltar Nobettween
|
No worries! still updating my character! ;)
| GM Ladile |
Hokay! A bit later than I intended but the first post is up over in Gameplay. I've got links to the slide deck at the top of the campaign page as well as in my GM header; please add your information to Slide #2 and add your tokens in your preferred marching order on Slide #3. The slides should be editable by everyone but please let me know if you have any trouble.

In other news, per PaizoCon HQ all PbP tables will be rolling for boons & vouchers for everyone now rather than at the end of the game. In the interest of submitting a timely response, I'll make rolls for everyone. On a d20, 19 or 20 wins a Paizo gift voucher while a 1 or 2 wins a boon. Here we go...
Birseko: 1d20 ⇒ 13
Dimak: 1d20 ⇒ 8
Hellebore: 1d20 ⇒ 18
Tabar: 1d20 ⇒ 2 Which Boon?: 1d10 ⇒ 10
Riltar: 1d20 ⇒ 19
Bocke: 1d20 ⇒ 4
GM: 1d20 ⇒ 6
...and it looks like Tabar is the lucky winner of a boon while Riltar wins a Paizo gift voucher!
*jazz hands*
Tabar & Riltar, please shoot me a PM or hit me up on Discord with your name and an email address for management to send your goodies to :)
Riltar Nobettween

Thank you GM Ladile! this is my second bank note... err... voucher earned during PaizoCon. It's raining tacos!

Purchases:
wand of burning hands (CL 3rd, 4 charges; 180gp, limit 1)
wand of cure light wounds (CL 1st, 50 charges; 2PP)
goblet of quenching (180gp)
hot weather outfit (8gp)
spring-loaded wrist sheath (5gp)
| GM Ladile |
I'll give it a little bit longer to see if Birseko or anyone else has any further questions/comments before moving us along, probably either later tonight or tomorrow. While I don't want to rocket us along at Mach 10 they *do* want us to be finished up by July 11th so I may very well be nudging things along at a slightly quicker pace than I typically do. Just a heads up :)
| GM Ladile |
Yep, inquisitor spells are divine. For any 1e class it'll mention what type of spellcasting they use under the 'Spells' section of the class description.
Bocke Reed
|
Excellent!
(Excellent that I know how to tell ... not so excellent that I can't cast spells.)
| GM Ladile |
Oh, you can still cast spells...if you're sufficiently sneaky about it or get a moment where you're not being observed by any locals ;)
Otherwise, best to plan accordingly :D
Hellebore Vasilieva

I think witch spells are arcane, so we will have some healing abilities, though we may not want to flaunt it.
Dimak
|
Dimak has a wand of infernal healing, which is divine - but arcane, too.
The spell is also on both the witch's and the magus' spell list.
Dimak could activate it with UMD (which takes a few tries), but with two party members capable of casting it without any chance of failure, he is happy to give it to one of them. Especially if they are not in violation of the law when doing so...
| GM Ladile |
Btw, I'm considering everyone to be sticking together during these phases, so if you didn't get a chance to post for the first phase, don't fret :)
I also believe that Birseko will be back from vacation by tomorrow so hopefully they'll be jumping into the swing of things very soon.
Birseko Naam

Hey everyone, sorry to slow things down. Back from vacation and catching up.
Tabar
|
Great to have you back! :-)
Birseko Naam

It was a great vacation. First time going anywhere since the start of the pandemic, first time seeing my step-mom since my dad died. Plus the joy of a four year old playing in the ocean is a wonder to behold.
Dimak

Welcome back, Birseko!
Dimak buys the following items:
10x Torches 10c
1 Tindertwig 1g
4x Trail Rations 2g
2x Rope (Silk) 50 ft. 20g

^Noted!
Also, welcome back Birseko! Glad to hear that your vacation went well and that everyone had a wonderful time. It's amazing what a little R&R at the beach can do for a person's spirits :)
| GM Ladile |
Post up; apologies for the delay! Ended up being busier than I expected the last two days getting ready for my trip. As I mentioned earlier in the thread I'll be heading out of town today for a convention and won't be back until Monday afternoon. I'll have my Chromebook with me and will do my best to keep us moving along as I can :)
| GM Ladile |
@GM: Is this something we should act on? Or can we be sure that Kazima will get us through the gates unsearched?
We technically haven't gotten to this yet, but you're pretty sure that you'll be searched no matter what. That said, having a living and friendly Kazima on your side might make the search a little less...intensive (easier DCs to hide stuff).
You may go ahead and act on this preemptively (while standing in line) or when I call for it once the action advances a bit further, by making a Bluff or Sleight of Hand check for small objects like books, holy symbols, and wands. It's a little easier if you want to hide even smaller objects such as coins and rings and it's harder if you've got big items such as one-handed and larger weapons or shields; larger items may be slightly modified to hide their religious iconography with a relevant Craft check.

I will not be able to post until end of day tomorrow (June 16th). Please bot me as needed!

Since things can sometimes get lost in the shuffle of PbP, especially given how long some games can take, I added some spoilers to the top of the campaign page that contain information you've learned about particular subjects thus far. Please feel free to refer back to them at any time!
