I was mistaken, and this scenario releases to the public on the 19th, so we'll be starting Friday. Sorry for the confusion.


"Ufi" ToK pregen: Male Human Cleric | HP 17/17 ; Shield (Hardness 6, HP 20/20)| Hero 2/2 | AC 17 (19 with shield) | Fort +6; Ref +3; Will +9 | Perc: +7; | Speed 20ft | Spells +7/dc17) | Active conditions: None.

No worries.


ToK pregen | N male (he/him) half-orc human (Matanji) sorcerer (fey) 1 | ◆◇↺ | AC 15 | HP 15/15 | P+3, F+4, R+5, W+5 | Explore: Search | LLV, NH, 25' | Hero (1/3) | Focus (1/1) | Spells (3/3) | Conditions: none

GM, my sheet references two spells that I think are specific to the scenario - gritty wheeze, and nettleskin. Can you post, or PM me, the text for those spells?


CG Female Grippli Rogue (Ruffian) 1 | HP 18/18 | AC 15 | F+4, R+8, W+6 | Perc +6 | Exp Mode: Avoid Notice | Hero Pts: 1 | Active Cond: None

In addition to Zane's pregen sheet missing his spell information, Muruwa's sheet is confusing:

"Muruwa has a difficult time relating with others and takes a while to open up. She's found that sharing stories about life in the jungle with Kalaggi comes naturally, though, and Muruwa considers the Ekujae elf to be her closest friend at the academy"

The above says that Kalaggi is the Ekujae elf who is Muruwa's best friend. Apparently, it's Ekene the elf. I'll go with that.

Zane's backstory says Ekene is his best friend ... ?

Do we still have our GM? Hopefully just enjoying a long holiday week.


"Ufi" ToK pregen: Male Human Cleric | HP 17/17 ; Shield (Hardness 6, HP 20/20)| Hero 2/2 | AC 17 (19 with shield) | Fort +6; Ref +3; Will +9 | Perc: +7; | Speed 20ft | Spells +7/dc17) | Active conditions: None.

Lot of games slow down over Thanks giving weekend. I'd not worry.

GM here. Just waiting for our last fisher to go, and was not in a rush because of the holiday.


ToK pregen | N male (he/him) half-orc human (Matanji) sorcerer (fey) 1 | ◆◇↺ | AC 15 | HP 15/15 | P+3, F+4, R+5, W+5 | Explore: Search | LLV, NH, 25' | Hero (1/3) | Focus (1/1) | Spells (3/3) | Conditions: none

The map is set to view-only right now.

Thanks for the hero point! But hopefully she doesn't need to use it just yet.

On a side note, I'm in San Francisco for the weekend (I'm from San Diego) with my fam for my wife's bday. I may be posting less frequently, but the place has wifi, and I should still be able to sneak away and check gameplay a couple times a day.

Congratulations on completing Threshold of Knowledge! This is definitely one of the harder scenarios I've seen, which I would not have expected from Free RPG Day, but you got out of everything safely.

I'll leave the thread open for a few days for questions or final roleplaying.

Thank you for playing!

Game is reported. Let me know if you have any issues (especially if you got a PM from me).

Guest lecturer Merian Seiche gives a seminar at the Academy, which Zane attends. She speaks about her work investigating low-frequency pressure-velocity waves in the mid-Arcadian Ocean, and her hypothesis that the waves are xenogenic.

Weather Lore: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15 vs DC 15

It's a successful lecture, and she collects a 0.4 gp honorarium.

I will edit my Chronicle myself, no need to bother you - I apologize for forgetting to do it earlier.

The items referenced on the Chronicle don't appear to be on aonprd.

I downloaded the scenario, here are the texts for the items:

BUBBLING SCALE ITEM 2
UNCOMMON CONSUMABLE MAGICAL TRANSMUTATION
Price 5 gp
Usage held in 1 hand; Bulk —
Activate [one-action] Interact
This dark, iridescent scale is about the size of a small coin. When you swallow the scale, you immediately grow a patch of scales that cover the majority of your body. For 1 hour, you can hold your breath for 15 rounds plus your Constitution modifier (instead of 5 rounds + your Constitution modifier) before drowning. It has no effect in non-aquatic environments that require you to hold your breath. After this time, the scales wither and fall off your body.

LION BADGE ITEM 4
UNCOMMON ABJURATION CONSUMABLE MAGICAL TALISMAN
Price 15 gp
Usage affixed to armor; Bulk —
Activate [free-action] envision; Trigger You gain the frightened condition as a result of a Will save; Requirements You’re an expert in Will saves.
This plain wooden badge has the face of a roaring lion etched onto its surface. When you activate this talisman, reduce the value of your frightened condition by 1 (to a minimum of 0). When this talisman is used, the image of the lion fades and the item becomes a plain, non-magical wooden badge.

SEEKING BRACELETS ITEM 3
UNCOMMON ABJURATION CONSUMABLE MAGICAL
Price 12 gp
Usage worn bracelet; Bulk —
Activate [two-actions] envision, Interact
Both beaded bracelets in this pair have an even larger bead in their center. The bracelets are magically linked and only interact with their counterpart from the same pair. When you crush the largest bead to activate the bracelet, it creates a mental alert in the mind of the wearer of the paired bracelet. This alert works at any distance as long as both bracelets are on the same plane.

WORDREAPER ITEM 3
UNCOMMON DIVINATION MAGICAL
Price 55 gp
Usage held in 1 hand; Bulk L
The blade of this +1 sickle is engraved to look like the curving feather of a particularly elaborate quill. The wooden handle has a pen nib at the base. You can use the wordreaper’s handle as an ink pen and it never runs out of ink.
Activate [three-actions] Interact; Frequency once per day; Effect You use the wordreaper to inscribe the words “read by” and your name inside a non-magical literary work (such as a non-magical book, scroll, or play). You immediately gain cursory knowledge of the literary work as though you had skimmed it for 5 minutes.
