[PFS1e] GM Deussu's #6-05 Slave Ships of Absalom CORE (Inactive)

Game Master Deussu

This DC 10 Ride check is harder than I thought. Other than continuing to put ranks in Ride (which I'll do), what else (that's CORE) boosts Ride? Is there a good magical saddle or something?

You can definitely buy a generic Masterwork Item to help you with your roll. This character has MW,Riding Boots for a cost of 50 gold and 1 pound of weight. I have another character with MW,Riding Chaps so you can use your imagination (or do some actual research on the equipment that actual riders use). Any of these items will give your character a +2 circumstance bonus on their roll.

Will can easily move to shoot his bow into the red trollhound without cover

I noticed I made a rather stereotypical error there, referring to Waheeda Wardak as a he/him. This is due to my native language lacking grammatical genders. So there is no one with Wardak.

I had to make a rules check, and I determined one can 5ft step out of a grease granted they succeed in their DC 10 Acrobatics check.

Basically only Umdar, Rilla, and Florin saw where Wardak went before she disappeared.

Busy days at work, exhausted at home. Will post as soon as possible.

I am going to be offline until Monday. Feel free to bot me as you see fit.

I'm finalizing the reporting and whatnot.

@Will and @Ny'a: Both of your characters show up in the reporting tool as belonging to the standard Pathfinder Society campaign and not the core variant. As far as I know, there isn't a way for a player to alter this mistake, but I'm trying to get a higher-up to do something about it.

@Umdar: Since this was played with a pregenerated character, you have the option to apply the scenario to a fresh 1st level character instead of waiting for one to hit 4th level. Thus I left the subtier marks and received gold fields empty.

@Ny'a: I can't remember if you used your reroll, so I left the day job field empty for you to fill it in, if you decide to reroll the roll.

[u]The chronicles can be found here.[/u] Please inform me once you've downloaded the chronicle. Once everyone has grabbed theirs, I'll turn off sharing from the folder and mark the campaign as inactive.

Furthermore, I'm trying to gather some feedback via this [u]super nifty form[/u] I made! I'm no marketing research guru, so it's very amateurish, it's basically for my own good.

I noticed Umdar's question regarding gold and loot in PFS.

The scenarios differ slightly in how the gold is given, but generally thought the PCs always take everything valuable with them and liquidate them to gold once the scenario is finished. So you are not able to keep that one item you find during the scenario, but you will given the option to buy that once you have accumulated the gold necessary to purchase it. This is so there's no fighting over who get the +5 Vorpal Sword of Three Wishes and All the Goodies.

GM Deussu thank you for this adventure, it was a lot of fun and great experience. Thank you all, I enjoyed very much interacting individually with all of you, I look forward to finding you around the forums.

If you have another adventure brewing let me know, I'd be happy to join.

As discussed in the beginning, I'll be applying the XP to a lvl1 character Umdar will now go back to being the dwarf, heh.

In terms of gold, the scenario was subtier 4-5, how much gold is given to the lvl 1 Umdar? is it the Subtier 4-5 value, the 1-2 value, or nothing?

I've downloaded my chronicle- thanks a lot, GM! :)

I agree with Umdar, this was a lot of fun, and I really liked how immersive the narration was. All the PCs were really interesting, too!

It'd be a pleasure to play with you all again.

Best of luck for your future games!

As I've understood it, applying this chronicle to a 'newly created, 1st level character' would net him/her 500 gp. But since the scenario already has Tier 1-2 in it, I'm unsure whether you could use that gold amount instead.

I'll ask about it, since I'm unable to find information about it for some reason.

Thank you for the game.

I think this should be enough to level up. :P

Thanks for the game GM Deussu. I downloaded the sheet and everything looks fine.

It seems like the mission was a complete success despite the fact that we cut down everything in sight. :)

500gp is 100% the correct answer here. The details are in the Pathfinder Society Roleplaying Guild Guide in the section about assigning credit. This is an invaluable document that 1) will answer many questions and 2) is expected to have been read by all players and GMs.

Profession (innkeeper), day job, shirt reroll: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

It has been so long since I last read it, and for some reason it didn't cross my mind to check it first...

You found out who is behind the slave scrying operation. It's nigh impossible to save the documents, since captain Waheeda Wardak starts burning them once the combat topside starts. It takes some really interesting tactics to get them.

And the fight at Mahjub's Chattel can end in bloodshed, easily.

Thank you N'ya indeed it is there. I'll re-read it (for the -nth time :) ) just to make sure.

I've downloaded the chronicle sheet, thanks!

Thanks, GM!

Great game, although I can't believe it took this long for me to realize how worthless disarm is (compared to trip, for instance).

Will should be Core - I usually note on the sheet when someone gets accidentally converted, and don't see that here, so I must not have even noticed! I did also just realize he should have been level 6 - I had a chronicle I failed to notice. I am not sure it matters here, but I will plan to apply both now. Let me know if this raises any red flags for you.

Thanks again!

Thanks, GM!

Great game, although I can't believe it took this long for me to realize how worthless disarm is (compared to trip, for instance).

Disarm is great if you combine it with picking up the disarmed item. Standard action --> Disarm, move action --> pick up the weapon from the neighboring square (which is legal, btw). This can lead for the enemy to lose all its weapons!

You could try to focus on unarmed disarm, when you get the item straight to your own hands. Minmaxing that in Core can be tough, however.

It's something that was done in the character creation. There are many very similar looking buttons, of which one states it to be "core". This is definitely not the first time I see this, and it doesn't really have any impact on anything else but reporting.

I was also tempted to mark Will's chronicle with a note "Got a bullet wound in the head", but decided against it. But it's surely something that can be added to his appearance from now on! A great story to tell, at least, survived a close range firearm bullet, a real trooper!
