Discussion here. Make sure you have Signed up here.

Please put your tokens and perceptions on the slides.

We have five players, so we can go ahead and get started! It looks like we are low-tier for now, but a 6th player should push you to high-tier if they join.

I'm interested.. champion L1, fresh of his first adventure a week ago

Grab that last signup spot on the sheet and feel free to post in gameplay! The game has begun!

High tier...

It seems that according to the new Organized Play Foundation Downtime rules, Players are responsible for rolling and recording their own downtimes...

So to make it official and put it on the record, here is Mimi's Earn Income roll whose result I will add to the chronicle I receive for this adventure.

Performance (Earn Income) vs DC 14: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Nice! According to this table a crit success is good for 16sp.

Downtime Lore; Earn Income: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

This is what happens when I don't check for a day! I will post in game play shortly!

No problem! You're signed up as a Grand Archive character but TBD; let me know if you (or anyone else) are part of this faction as you have additional dialogue and goals.

Also, if you're playing a level 1, you'll be getting level bumped!

Increase every DC the PC has by 1.
Increase the attack modifiers, attack damage, spell damage, saving throw modifiers, skill modifiers, Perception modifiers, and AC of the PC by 1.
Increase the Hit Point totals of the PC by 10 or by 10%, whichever is higher.

If anyone has a mentor boon, feel free to let Mr. Tea know. I believe you can benefit from two different mentor boons at once.

here's hoping there aren't any kitty cats in this one... I almost had my face eaten by a leopard last time!!

I'm playing as my new fighter character as the PC (Oracle) I was going to play is in a scenario that is at 505 posts and counting!

Itka's been invited to give a talk on her knowledge of the Shadow Plane to help train some research assistants at the Grand Lodge.

Earn Income: Shadow Plane Lore, DC 15: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
Success. 16 sp

Craft doll: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13 (not sure if level bump counts)

Cassimon will work on his new doll a figure of Mimi de Valence

But he mights have the proportions wrong...

@Mimi: I'm french IRL ;-)

Legal Lore: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Zabu helps some old pals escape the long arm of the law with some clever lawyering.

And...as usual...fails.

I believe that gives me 4cp per day or 3.2 sp for the 8 days of downtime.

@Mimi: I'm french IRL ;-)

Oh là là ! You'll find Mimi's accent particularly offensive then. He he :)

Tiger grabs a minor healing potion as his consumable.

Downtime roll was successful - 4sp; Tiger was invited to talk about Warfare and Scouting. He particularly emphasizes that it's not a good idea to try to outclaw feline adversaries...

Crafting: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Rafe will craft some camping supplies for sale.

I think that's a crit for my level :)

You're welcome to hero point the roll! The DC is only 12 but I rolled a nat 1 for you

Nah. too early to burn a hero point... :)

Itka's consumable is a scroll of Mage Armor.

She has a scroll of Soothe that she'd like her familiar to consume. If there's at least an hour of downtime on the boat, she'd like to work on that.

Zabu will take the healing potion...and will no doubt need it.

Rafe will have a lesser Antidote potion as a consumable (level 1, Generalist)

Two nat 1's? I'd like to see your dice please :)

I've finally remembered to add a token! Having now read Guns and Gears, I'm either going to make Rafe MC Inventor at 2nd, or restat him as an Inventor after this scenario.

I don't know if Paizo sanctioned Guns & Gears yet though. If they haven't, you won't be able to use it.

It has not yet been sanctioned, but it will be on this page when it is. It's almost certainly going to cost AcP to play a Gunslinger or Inventor.

I thought they might as they're uncommon. I can certainly wait and see. It won't matter for a little while.

@GM NovelEnigma: Itka's token is on the ground beside the wagon, even though she'd be sitting on the seat in the wagon, per our earlier arrangement. This makes a difference in what she's going to do this round, so what's your ruling on her placement? Thanks!

For simplicity, I will say that it doesn't cost any extra movement to get off of a stopped wagon. If you were sitting on the wagon to direct/control the horses, act as if your token was on the wagon for distance.

Then I'll move her onto the wagon to start her turn, as I wanted her to stay seated there for now.

The halfling druid is still in the same square next to Mimi as before. Since he turned and fled, I assume he's moved elsewhere by now, but where?

Updated! The druid is going to keep running away from you, but I know you're faster. You'll catch him if you focus on him, but that will leave your party to deal with the squirrels without you.

If Mimi is convinced that the druid is running away and will no longer be an immediate danger to the party, then she will turn her attentions to the swarms.

btw, I just realized -- am I still sickened?

Yeah, but I definitely forgot about that. You're supposed to be sickened for the entire scenario since it only takes 1 day. Kind of harsh for only a single saving throw at the beginning of the scenario.

Paging Zabu; Zabu, please report to the combat.

Will bot in the next few hours!

Kinda doesn't matter really, since most of my rolls miss outright. The only question is whether a 15 or a 21 hits the swarm. A 13 definitely won't :)

This scenario is just "they walk down the road and then get attacked! Then they walk down the road some more and get attacked!". The next post is, once again, a combat encounter.

When I was looking for a scenario for my IRL group to play, someone recommended this -- since all my group wants to do is fight and fight and fight and fight... based on what you're saying, the person appears to be right...

I don't hate it. Especially for this character.

It lets me speculate what night come next! Also, playing a low level fighter, it could be a lot worse.

I pretty much figured it would be like that from the description, which is why I picked my swashbuckler for the scenario. I was hoping for a little more Bon Mot action against actual bandits, but Tumble Through works fine in a pinch against animals. Too bad my Jayma was otherwise occupied or we could have gotten the Bobbsey Twins back together for an encore.

I've been wondering whatever became of Jayma. I haven't seen her in a goblin's age.

where'd you get that spinning image?

I took the Avatar air bender symbol, saved it, rotated it, saved it again, and rotated it one last time and saved that. I put those three images into a gif maker that just cycles through them. Inside google slides, I increased its transparency to allow you to see through it.

I don't see where it says difficult terrain?

I saw it HERE (see OOC in middle of post).

I'm assuming it still holds.

Yes, I should have been a better GM and put it in the initiative trackers well. Sorry about that!

will be offline Saturday morning to Monday evening, bot me as needed

Sheesh... I just realized that I never updated my statblock for the level up... Not that it matters, because it hasn't made a major difference...
