GM TOP #3-02: Sewer Dragons of Absalom (Standard) (Inactive)

Game Master Pete H.

I'm back, and should be able to post when my turn comes up again.

Thanks for your patience and help, everyone.

Hooray!! Happy to have you!

@GM - How far back into the loft can I see from my current position? What if I stand on the table next to me? I'm trying to decide if I can stay on first level or need to go upstairs to target the kobold if he moves to the back of the loft.

From back there you should be able to see the kobold at all times, though they may get cover.

Busy weekend for me, but I’ll try to move us along when the youngest takes their first nap today.

Hi, everyone,

I'm having a rough time for several reasons right now. For the next few days, it's possible my posts might be really brief, without much character. If this happens, please don't take it amiss; I will return to normal posting as soon as I can.

Gotcha. I’ll be slow posting till the start of next week so you may not miss much. I hope things go well with whatever things you are dealing with.

I just have a rummage sale at my house so I get to alternate watching the kids and watching the merch. Then my usual busy weekend stuff. But if things go well this combat will be over soon.

OK, here's what I'm thinking.

I have a campaign service coin, which allows me to give a reroll to one other player at the table. It carries my GM stars (4) as a bonus, too.

I've checked with a group of other VOs, and it appears they agree that it should be possible for Voices to use that reroll here, even after using his own reroll.

That would mean that the second roll would still be OK, although the result would be 3 higher, because it uses my stars instead of Voices' player's stars.

Thanks Garsita! This was becoming a farce.

I feel like we've kindof gotten stuck here and are going in circles. Any ideas how we can get out of this?

Engashez seems to have moved us in a new direction-- just kinda waiting on GM to see how it goes. If it works: hell yeah. If not: well, it might be all we need for Chief Guy over there to attack, and then we can get to the bloody part, and that's generally a lot less complicated ;P

ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED THAT THAT PAID OFF LMAO

It would have been HILARIOUS if Thyste was wrong, though.

Next scenario I’ll play something really dangerous up as ‘looking fake’ then maul ya! :P

Looking forward to it!

I don't remember it ever coming up before, do you have to roll for concealment on a crit confirm roll?

Nope, just on the roll to hit.

That is pretty much it here. The only real question was whether you all decided to show further aggression towards Yiddlepode. But considering no one did anything stupid and you all have been trying to negotiate from day one, I think we can call that point resolved.

You all are welcome to do as much RP you want from this point on, but I will start working on chronicles (hopefully today, maybe not till Monday). Rerolls, if you have one left, are welcome to be used on dayjobs.

It appears I really only need an initial dayjob roll from Engashez (yes, you can roll a dayjob check on a pregen if said pregen has a dayjob skill trained, which this one does).

I will forego a day job.

Thanks Engashez.

One more thing. There is a very specific boon here that requires a decision to be made before I can finish the chronicles. I just realized it or I would have asked you a couple days ago. Anyway, here is the boon verbage.

Contraband Dividends: You ensured that a valuable shipment of contraband antiquities were able to enter Absalom through the sewers without kobolds causing any problems. As a result, you receive a single item of no more than 150 gp from among the non-relic bits of the cargo. You must select this item now and reflect its purchase on this Chronicle sheet.

Thus, I need each of you to pick ONE item available to your character (as in if it is not Core, you own the resource it comes from and that it isn't a banned item) that costs less than 150g.

Might I suggest an excessively ostentatious 50g hat?

Might I suggest an excessively ostentatious 50g hat?

I'm gonna one-up you there: THREE excessively ostentatious 50g hats, sewn together into one.

I'm gonna go ahead and get a Superior Lock. Never know when you'll need it!

Chronicles are here

Obviously only Thyste's is done, but as you all let me know what item you want, I'll finish off your sheet and upload it to the link. Let me know if you see any issues. I'll work on getting the game reported.

Just do the hat for me. I will not actually be playing the character that this is being applied to.

Since Cat doesn't like anything to be closed to his noseyness, he tells Voices to buy a Skeleton Key.

Voices doesn't have a day job.

scroll of lesser restoration, please.
(cost is exactly 150 GP, which is not more than 150 GP)

Thanks you three, your chronicles are done at the above link. Have a great one!

Session Reported, Ruinor PM'd. Just waiting to close this game down to make sure everyone has their chronicles. If I don't hear back from Ruinor in a week, I'll just PM them the link to the chronicles and give them a scroll of Lesser Restoration as their item.

If I can choose anything, I'll take a scroll of glitterdust. That was helpful. Need to build up my spellbook.

Thanks for running the game.

Chronicle sheet looks good; thanks so much for running!

Thanks everyone for a fun game.

All the chronicles are done, thanks again for the game! I'll close this scenario up in 24-48 hours.

Much Appreciated!
It was y'all :)

Is this group sticking together for another scenario?

Not I. Ya'll have fun.

I'm slowly paring down some of my RPG's, actually-- Thyste (and a couple others) is gonna get benched while I focus on some other projects for a bit.

I am not planning on GM'ing another scenario for this group, so probably not? And apparently at least two are out.

See y'all around.
