Hi!

I have the following characters in Tier 3-5:

Bloodrager 3

Which would be more useful?

We have a psychic 4 (Cassiopia), a bard/archaeologist (Bahram/Jack), a ranger 1/rogue 3 (Wymarc), and now a monk 1 (Rahu). Feel free to bring whatever you want.

Will post an intro in a little bit. Feel free to dot in, post a little roleplay, and introduce your character.

Just a note: I didn't realise, but I already played that part of the trilogy (so no XP or gold for me, sigh)

If you prefer to give another player an opportunity to try that mission, I'll bow out

You are more than welcome to join! As of now, it's just the four of you (Rahu backed out).

I’ve got to apply the last chronicle to Wymarc and note any purchases...and then I’ll post in gameplay...

I will need to go shopping tonight. Might buy a cloak of resistance or top +1. Just standard adventuring gear.

Updated Wymarc and that includes leveling up to 5th. He bought a ring of resistance and upgraded all of this arrow to durable...

Will enchant my Greataxe to +1 Bonus (2000 Gp)

On the roads this week end, bot me as needed

Don't think we're getting outta here without a fight, so might as well start now. Wymarc is in sneak range of the dude to the south and will fire one there while he's flat-footed...if I can win initiative to boot, I think I can hit him again flat-footed if he doesn't drop...

I'll wait a bit for others to pipe in their ideas before I post...

I am all in favor of getting the jump on them. Bahram is always of mind to use words first, axe when that fails. I would suggest we try to continue with subdual damage and knock them out rather than kill the lawful guards of this area. That would create more of a political nightmare for our organization.

There are around a dozen guards if we end up having to take ‘em all on…for Wymarc to deal nonlethal damage he’ll be subtracting -4 from every attack so he’s likely to miss as much as he hits…I’ll do it if everyone thinks it best but could mean we take a lot more time and damage as well…

As for our organization, these guys don’t know we’re Pathfinders; I think they’ll think we’re part of the Bellflowers like most of their captives…but I could be wrong…

If you guys do decide to fight, you'll get a surprise round (as they failed their perception checks to notice you). If you drop them fast enough, they wont have time to alert the other guards! If you think of other creative ways to bypass them, feel free to post them too.

A sleep spell perhaps, someone?

If not then brute force

Looks like Cassiopia has sleep memorized. Feel free to bot her if you think that's something she would do.

I love that idea! Bahram, with his greataxe, has dreamt of being a ninja. Not mechanically, just figuratively. To escape with the prisoners unmolested would be of ninja caliber.

Hey GM, I’ve played thru several chases with other PCs…is this first move part of the chase or is it more like we’re ad-libbing the initial turn? Just wondering as I knew chase turns usually involve a choice of two skill checks…

This isn't a typical chase. Here's what the scenario says is different:

1) Each card obstacle represents a distance of several hundred feet covered over the course of 1 minute, not 30-foot intervals.

2) The PCs and pursuers move as two groups rather than as individuals

3) The obstacles do not require skill checks to overcome; rather, they present opportunities for the PCs to upset the celebrations and slow down their pursuers.

Success is measured less by whether the guards catch the PCs than it is measure by how long it takes the guards to reach the finish line.

The PCS always move first, automatically advancing one card toward the finish line. They gain a 1-round head start thanks to Tamrin's distraction.

Each round, each PC will take one full round of actions to cause disruptions - sufficient to attempt one of the suggested distractions on the card or use the Aid Another action. For each character traveling with the PCs whose movement speed is 15 ft or lower, each PC suffers a -1 penalty on checks attempting to cause delay. For every unconscious member of the group, this penalty increases to -2. Casting spells while weaving through the crowds is difficult, requiring a concentration check.

The Interrogator moves 3 cards per round. For every successful check the PCs do, reduce their movement by 1 (so if all four of you succeed at a check, they wont move this turn and will only move to the next card automatically at the start of their next turn).

Zefiro and Bellflower agents do not help with distractions, only focusing on escaping.

There are 9 total stops.

My land speed, as a Bloodrager, is 40 feet. Do that mean I got a bonus?

Sadly, no since you all move as a group instead of individuals. Zefiro and the Bellflower agents aren't the fastest.

I’m ready

Have any of you used rpgchronciles before? I'm thinking of using it for the chronicles but haven't tried it out.

I have not, but would love to check it out!

I haven't either...what is it?

Basically it's makes chronicles for you. Apparently everyone just adds their info and it autofills the sheets. I've had one or two GMs use it before, so gonna try it out. Hope it works out!

If you guys want to try, I will play around with it. Will send out a link and you guys will just add some of your PFS info.

dont forget I already done this adventure and so won't gain a chronicle.

(see my first post here in discussion)

Right! Thanks for reminding me. We're nearly done with the scenario...

Okay, scenario is basically done! Feel free to roleplay a bit with the debriefing and let me know if you report to Zarta about her connection to House Davian.

Will get out chronicles to Bahram and Wymarc. Wont be using rpgchronciles this time. And sorry it took so long to finish this arc! I should've pushed a little harder at times.

Okay, Barham and Wymarc, here are your chronicles. Ehrun, do you want me to make you one as well for prosperity?

Let me know if your chronicles look good and I'll submit the game to OSP. OSP has been taking a bit longer than normal to report. If you don't see the game in a few weeks or so, feel free to message me and I can poke the organizer.

My chronicle looks good, thanks GM! Enjoyed playing with everyone...

Mine also looks good. This was a great series, thanks gm Mauve. I hope to see you other Pathfinders real soon.

Thanks for the game too!

Totally forgot! My scarf heals me for 1d8 as an immediate action when he goes unconscious. Can't forget that.

Game has been supported! If you don't see it reported sometime in the next few weeks, please reach out to me and I'll see what I can do.

Thank you all for playing with me! Hope to see you all on the boards again.
