I prefer five player teams, but depending on party comp I can accept a sixth. This one earned a reputation as 'low-key Bonekeep' in my area.

Here's Kahwen. Thanks for running. I've been hoping to get this one completed in his career.

I think IHIYC's character is 6th level but if there is a 5th level character in the party, Kahwen has the Model Pathfinder Agent boon so can provide a +1 bonus to AC or saves or +1HP per level for the duration of the adventure.

(I did it the last time Kahwen came to the Gloomspires.)

here i am...hope to play this with my character Mykel...did Labyrinth with Kahwen...he's level 8 now.. but can play a lower level guy if needed

I'd be a little worried about a 6th level character in the high tier, depending on what their skillset is. If it's just one, probably no big deal, but if you're just squeaking into tier it may be a bad idea. Still, dice rolls are the biggest determining factor, so we will see how everyone feels.

Here's the list of my in-range pretties:

Alchemist8 (ranged AoEs)
Urogue9 (ranged/melee/sneak/trap spotter)
Bloodrager6 (melee, slow and stupid... I hate him)
Bard6 (melee, inspire courage, minor arcane & healing)
Barb1/Ftr4/UlfGuard1 (melee + bull rush + overrun)
Druid9(Supernaturalist) (pet is melee; druid focuses on divine casting mostly to buff the pet; her big whammy is the Wall of Thorns spell, as both she and the pet can walk through it (Wall of Thorns require GM adjudication due to being worded like an old 1st edition spell... lol)

Any of them have previous Gloomspire experience?

Alchemist I think... lemme check. He also survived the Bonekeep (him and the barbarian ran out... the rest died... :P)

PS: Labyrinth of Hungry Ghosts part of Gloomspire yes? he did that one...

Got it. I'm all about supporting character continuity like that. I have a team building for Eyes of the Ten and part of the level up includes getting On Sevenfingers Sails done since two of them have done all three other parts.

PS: added the Druid9, as she's also in range...

Nectanebo's career started with the Gloomspires, and continued with the "Labyrinth"; he IS my character for this adventure, bar none.

WYSIWYG: A powerful "Necroccultist", a bit of a "glass cannon" (what Elf isn't?) who needs but one more level to really come into his own as a hit-and-run fighter, a bit slow (but with means of overcoming that when he really needs to), extra-resistant to the forces of darkness, and jack-of-many-skills. Is that a magic device you've got there, a work of art perhaps, an archaeological artifact, or even an interesting corpse? Don't mind if I do, let me see them all...!

Oh, an occultist? You'll be fine, I've run for a couple of them and never been able to kill them. :P

just don't play Kyra...complete magnet for trouble....

Oh, an occultist? You'll be fine, I've run for a couple of them and never been able to kill them. :P

Problems?

i mean...even a spawn of Yog Sothoth couldn't kill the Vulture...

Occultist 6
Unchained Rogue 8
Alchemist 8
Swashbuckler 7/Slayer1

That's pretty solid, just need to see what roll4initiative has.

Mykel's Chronicle Sheet will be finished in the next day or two and there's no chance he's going to die, now so he's free to move into this scenario.

I know I've played with Nectanebo before but I'm not sure if it was with Kahwen or if it was here in the Gloomspires.

Sign-in Sheet.

it's set to view only

That explains the lack of entries.

i mean...even a spawn Pinata of Yog Sothoth couldn't kill the Vulture...

Wait until you see the 'loot' in action!

Interesting lineup; three "d8 HD, 3:4 BAB butnotapriest"-types, and one svelte fighter; if I were roll4initiative, I might bring a 0-9 mage of some kind.

Getting this out of the way now, since Sign-In Sheet wants to know:
Craft (Jeweler): 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (13) + 23 = 36

well, damage wise, Mykel and Kahwen can dish it out pretty good. Healing we should be ok...

Kahwen is definitely a glass dagger. He can dish it out but not take it.

Day Job-Profession (Sailor): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

I'm here! Busy work week. I'll look at my PCs after work today.

Ok. I can bring:

A Swashbuckler 3/mesmerist 5
A sylph sky druid 7
Or, an Inquisitor 6/Cavalier 3

Those are my only PCs in tier with spellcasting abilities.

Any of them experienced with the Gloomspires?

Any of them experienced with the Gloomspires?

Nope. My Cleric of Shelyn took all the GM credit for the gloomspire scenarios. He's 12 level.

Oh! Wait! Lemme see who did Hall of the Flesh Eaters.

My Nagaji Ranger took GM credit for Flesheaters.

Meh. I'd rather bring in someone with spellcasting abilities.

Alright, if you bring your druid we will have the 4 player adjustment, if you play either of the others no adjustment. We will be high tier either way, so the choice is yours! Play whichever character you think you'll have more fun with. Everyone can dot into the gameplay thread and make purchases before boarding the Grinning Pixie.

Any suggestions from the other players?
Bring my sky druid so we get 4 player adjustment?

It does look like you also have your Archaeologist, who could be interesting...

...definitely don't want Sir Ivan around when I am...

...but your Druid seems fine to me (besides, looks like she'd be the only high-WIS character).

I think druid might make best fit...but whatever you want to play really...

My bard/archaeologist can't do crap for damage. If loaded with scrolls, though.

I read in the scenario reviews that this is a "Bonekeep" tough scenario. I'll keep us at the 4 player adjustment and go with my druid. She just got done with an adventure so I need to make some purchases & update.

that makes sense...plus it will help with healing if you have a druid...i have a buttload of gp to spend...might put Answering on my falcata...help with my Parry/Riposte

edit...purchases so far will be a scroll of life's breath, and an aegis or recovery and add Answering on my falcata...8625 gp total...

Profession (scribe): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

I'd complain about having to remember the adjustment, but that's a lot easier in PbP than in person. :P Let me know when you guys have made all your pre-scenario purchases and I will post the briefing.

I'm ready to launch, Captain!

Also add +1 to each of my mithral shirt and buckler...so +2/+2...another 6k...and almost broke...lol

Hello GM TOZ!

Do you potentially have a spot for another player? I have a female level 7 Ifrit psychic or a male level 7 dwarven Shaman that could contribute.

I would love to join the scenario but can understand if you are already set up.

Thanks and have a great weekend!

Unfortunately, I intended to keep this to a 5 PC party. We are pretty well set, sorry!

Completed sign-in slide and made several purchases. I also added a crap-load of spells with links to descriptions on profile. Now just need to choose which spells to prepare.

Hey! Noral can have my spot. A sylph sky druid is probably not a good fit for this scenario. I only chose her b/c there were 3 melee types. Plus, I've had the opportunity to GM this a long time ago.

I'll just wait 'til it rolls along another time.

Have fun & Cheers!

Understood, I'll keep you in mind for future runs! Noral, go ahead and get signed in and we'll start hopefully by tomorrow. Everyone else ready to go?

I should be fine.

yep

Thanks a lot! I had a PM discussion with roll for initiative as I really wanted to confirm that he’s ok with me joining and he really does not want to join currently so I will jump in!

Hello everyone!

I filled out the sheet GM TOZ.

Here is the character I’ll bring.

Looks like the sign-in sheet's still missing one?

Sorry... the dangers of not 'dotting and deleting'... more than one kickass games have slipped out of my fingers like this. Nice and ready now; chronicle sheets have been updated; ready to go!

Purchases in this scenario: wand of identify (750), wand of cure mod 5 charges (450), wand of lesser restoration 12 charges (1,080), haunt siphon (400).

Day Job, Craft Alchemy, Take 10: 10 + 32 = 42

Alright, I'll get the briefing up tonight!

Warning/Disclaimer: Ellismus has a very low Charisma, and is the embodiment of 'grumpy old man'. If, in-character RP, he spits in your general direction or expels other audible sound or gas emissions, would this offend you as a player? if so, please say so now and I will tone down the Family Man / Homer Simpson factor down a few notches.

@GM: Had a previous GM a long time ago rule that 'stink bomb somehow doesn't work with Precise Bomb', despite the FAQ on the subject. Let me know what your thoughts are on this. Thanks.

(My interpretation is that based on the following FAQ, if secondary effect is in addition to damage, it follows that Precise Bomb excluding squares for damage also excludes the secondary effect for those squares)

Personally, I don't like toilet humor (I mean, unless maybe it would be too spot-on to pass up - Lachen Über Alles!), but it's "trigger warning/affirmative consent culture" that I find much more offensive. :)

If you'll forgive a bit of soapboxing:

There's no place in life for the level of onion-skinned preciousness - and worst of all, humorlessness (which, as the bearer of an authentic psychology degree, I am 100% serious and 0% exaggerating when I state my conclusion that "humorlessness" belongs as a recognized pathology in the APA's next DSM, and should be considered as grave a problem as suicidal depression and psychopathy) - that has been creepily cultivated and enabled over the last few years, and to anyone who's ACTUALLY suffered, it's actively counter-helpful, and pretty insulting, to boot.

This site wants to be "a fun and friendly place", but it also wants to be a so-called "safe space" - it needs to come to terms with the fact that it cannot be both. The core folks pushing the second concept are the antithesis of "fun and friendly" (believe me, I've met them), and the many more who, for various reasons, support or sympathize with them at present would actually all be better off without them.

Bear in mind we have spent the last 5-7 years living in a moment that just about embodies the following pearl:
