PFS 1e - # 8-12 Tyranny of Winds, Part 3: Caught in the Eclipse (Inactive)

Game Master MauveAvengr

I'm ready to keep rolling! I'm also happy to keep to this same campaign thread, if possible :)

I’m in for the next part!

Same thread works fine for me as well.

I am absolutely up for part 2, and have no preference for continuing this thread vs starting a new one - wester is easiest for everyone is cool by me

Okay, here are the chronicles. Game is reported. Let me know if anything looks off!

And let's stick with this thread. I'll post an intro to the next scenario tomorrow morning. If anything is new about your character (level up, purchases, etc.) please let me know!

My chronicle looks good, thank you GM!

Liora won't be leveling up but I might make a purchase or two; will try and get those sorted out ASAP.

All good here. I will look at purchases, most likely at least a potion of fly.

Sheet looks good.

I will hit level three when the chronicle is added, so it may take me the full day to get leveled.

sheet looks perfect thanks! Willard levels to 3, and picks up the scroll of invisibility from this adventure. Is there a way to use PP to purchase the Ring of Sustenance?

Halfling and bear dog are both ready to keep rolling :=)

Alright, I’ve got Yulau leveled so I’m ready to rock when the group is.

So I'm a little sad we sided with the Earth tribe just because how funky fun would it be to have an Oread with air... affinities? Whatever that means, lol. Earth with earth is more, uh, predictable and expected. ha

Today is my Friday at work so I can work on getting Maud leveled up over the next day or two, probably.

All of my other campaigns have ended, and I'm not joining anymore, so this game will be my sole RPG focus going forward.

Also I'm always open to gear/equipment suggestions - that's definitely one of my weaknesses as a player.

So I got called in to work Sunday and had some health problems today. I am strongly thinking about multiclassing but afraid that will take too long for me to plan out.

Is everyone else ready to continue, just waiting on me? I'm sorry I normally have 3-4 days off and only have 1 this week, so much less time to get everything done.

Hey - hope you feel better! Take your time. We can definitely wait on you.

The first bit is always just questions and such. You're welcome to do some character building during that time. Let us know when you're all built up! What were you thinking of multiclassing into?

Yep, I'm good to wait!

day job #2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Might just do Monk this level anyway (fast movement & magic punches this level) for simplicity, but both Cleric & Shaman would give me back the Magic Stones spell I traded out of my race abilities and access to CLW, both would boost my low Will save, and both are thematic for different reasons.

Cleric (Base type or Foundation of Faith archetype)
access to Mighty Fist of the Earth spell (which I can also get through Monk Ki powers)
Domains: definitely Earth (Acid Dart, Acid Resistance, Magic Stones)
Friendship (Telepathy, Prot from Evil)
/or Defense (AOE allies +2 AC & CMD, Shield)
-or-
Shaman (maybe Crystal Tender archetype?)
Spirit: Stone (spirit ability useless due to low CHA, gives rock/crystal familiar, Magic Stones spell, 2nd level Hex DR5/Adamantine & AOE spell)

Cleric does give me more flexibility with ranged options (Magic stone, Acid Dart, & Mighty Fist) as well as defensive AC spells if I go Defense domain (Shield, Barkskin) and she's already a follower of Grunnidar & Torag. Shaman seems like the weaker choice right now (requires 2 levels to get Hex I want), but it is fun and flavorful RP to get a rock buddy. :) The spells are also very flavorful.

Regarding membership in the Concordance: I have been RPing my 'membership' more as my quest to understand my own elemental abilities leading me on a path of self-discovery following Jamilla and learning of the faction, rather than currently being an active member taking assignments from their leadership.

Anyway, that's where I'm at now with my research - have to eat & get ready for work.

I'm somewhat considering a level of monk for Kamishah. He was originally a monk/druid in our Skull and Shackles game and I brought him over as a Hunter because it matched his personality and playstyle without multiclassing. (Also having to deal with point buy rather than our insane die rolled stats.) Not having unarmed strike is a bit disappointing however.

I don't have the time or energy to figure out a whole other class right now, I will just continue in Monk. Tomorrow I am free all day and will get her character sheet updated to level 3.

OHHHH I'm a doofus. I don't need to level, I only have 5 experience.

So sorry but my Planes check would have been 2 lower as well, so we don't get the DC25 spoiler (unless Willard's roll counts as an aid/assist). ):

I will purchase a fan token, levitate potion, cure moderate wounds potion, and masterwork handwraps (total 1100.1g).

How many days were we in the desert last session? I would also like to replace my rations.

Also, I purchased Volume 1 of the Pathfinder Chronicles last session, but I'm curious if there's any way I can share the bonus to Diplomacy/Kn.Planes about geniekind to anyone else in the party? And does that include Janni, or not?

Oh no worries! Yeah, I think you can assist on Knowledge rolls so feel free to open all the spoilers.

The Pathfinder Society gave you enough rations for the last mission, I believe (I can double check that for you if you want).

I've never used a Pathfinder Chronicle before. Lemme read up on the rules about them. And Janni are indeed geniekind so bonuses should apply.

Looks like if someone spends an hour reading it, they gain the bonuses. Or they can spend a minute and DC 15 Intelligence check to gain the bonuses. I'll say that only one person can read at a time. But if someone wants to spend an hour reading the chronicle, then sure, they should gain the bonuses.

Sorry I've been less active than normal, I caught Covid so have been sleeping a lot trying to recover <3

Oh no! Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Thoughts to you, Maud!

Yulau can help with the Diplomacy checks. No skill at Sense Motive however.

Feel better Maud!

And most of these guests will have other skills that you can use to impress them.

So, on a lark, I decided to make a horrible "photoshop" of the dress I imagined Maud being in for the gala - the outcome made me laugh so much my partner said I have to show my online group too... so, uh... here ya go :)

Bahahaha! That's great Maud, thanks for sharing XD

I'm now imagining Kamishah in Will Smith's genie outfit. Except he looks more like the bo'sun from Pirates of the Caribbean.

I love it!

I'll be heading out of town until Thursday. Feel free to bot me in my absence.

Haven't spoke with:
- Fairuza Bereket, a female djinni* librarian.
- Ghassan El-Amin, male djinni* archivist.
- Lineji Niarndu, female gnome museum curator.
- Mithradatha, male djinni* vizier disgraced diplomat. (don't like Wan Feng? or each other?)
- Zhalla bint Rathmozen, female sylph aristocrat. (don't like Wan Feng? or each other?)

Already spoke with:
- Almoshtari, invisible stalker historian (history)
- Vivek Vallathol, air veela archaeologist (dancer)
- Wan Feng, male imperial sky dragon ambassador (Yulau Sovereign Court friend)

*=bonus to Diplomacy & Kn.Planes if read Pathfinder Chronicles

FYI I'm out of town this weekend (18th-20th) but it shouldn't affect my posting.

All my character sheets *should* have a section for botting instructions if the need arises but I doubt it will.

Hey folks, work was kinda rough last night (emotionally) and I've sadly got a funeral to attend later today so I'm going to take a rest day from PbP and anything else that requires creative/cognitive effort. Please feel free to bot/delay Liora as necessary and I'll hopefully catch back up with things tomorrow.

Hey! Hope everything is alright. Let us know if there is anything we can do.

Ready to get back into the swing of things!

Thank you for your patience <3

Cevrik hasn't posted in a week and a half. Will give them a day before botting them.

I'm so sorry I totally spaced out about my online games - I've been cramming for an audition - I'll try to get caught up

Good luck on the audition! Thank you for letting us know. You didn't miss too much - you're just talking to a sparkly lizard that's trying to stop you from completing your mission.

Hey folks, just checking in - I've been in a bit of a funk for the last few days but I'm hoping things are starting to shift back to normal. This unfortunately happens to me sometimes when the days start getting shorter and there's less daylight to be had.

I've got to get some sleep but I'll try and get caught up on the game later this evening; until then please feel free to bot/delay me as needed.

Hey! Take as long as you need. If you need anything, don't hesitate to reach out.

Is someone willing to bot Cevrik? They haven't posted in close to a month, so we may have to bot him for the rest of the adventure. If no one wants to, I will.

Can anyone beat a +8 on diplomacy?

Not me, but i can aid another +1

Definitely not Liora, but she can try to Aid Another if need be :3

As a heads up I'm going out of town on a mini-trip this weekend and probably won't be back until late Sunday evening. Please bot/delay Liora as necessary :)

Have a save trip!

FYI I'm reading along and keeping up-to-date with the adventure, I just haven't had any spare time to compose my response. I will try to do that tonight!

( This was narrated by voice to text on my way to work in the car, LOL )

No worries! Thanks for letting me know. Take your time.

Congrats on finishing! I'll get out your chronicle sheets by the end of the day.

The last scenario in this trilogy is Caught in the Eclipse. It is level 3-7 (instead of 1-5). Let me know if you're interested in continuing. Will set it up sometime in the next day or two.

If you level up or get anything new, please let me know!

I will be levelling once the Chronicle sheet is posted! I'm game to keep going, I like this group.
