Round Robin: Intro 2 United in Purpose (Inactive)

Game Master Sedoriku

Welcome, and thanks for your patience with getting this set up!

First, Please add your Chronicle information here.

After you've done that, add a token image to slide 2 and then marching order to slide 3.

I'm excited to run this for you guys and hope that you have a great time playing this.

Sounds good to me. I'll let you know which character to bring.

Not sure if you've got anymore space, but I'm happy to join a round robin 2e. I'm assuming GM Tiger has the spot, but just in case.

Hey GM, would you provide a ruling? Officially a "fist" is not a simple weapon. It doesn't really have a category like that except "unarmed." Ruffian Rogues get crit specialization with simple weapons. But do they get it with unarmed? Or do they have to wait to 5th level as per normal?

I really wish they would just say "fist" is a simple weapon. Or even if they said martial artists/monks treat a fist as a simple weapon.

Placed Isurus back on the drawing board. Brought my cleric buff/heal cleric, which will hopefully increase survivability.

I just realized that I fudged up making slide 2 and all of the changeable information was part of the background and not readily editable. I've moved them so you can actually type on them.

Purchases:
+1 Rune to Dagger (35 GP)
Minor Healing Potion x3 (12 GP)

Looks like everyone is here and ready! Time to get started.

As for chronicle information Kondai and Samna if you'd add your info here that'd be great!

Francine takes a Minor Healing potion as her PFS School Item.

Also for full disclosure, I'm scheduled to run this scenario in the other GM Round Robin group so I have read the scenario and prepped it to some degree. I'm also playing it.

Given this is a repeatable and that it's been out for a few months, I'm expecting many people have played or run it already.

Jaxon will make one more purchase: +1 Handwraps

Thanks for the hero point Qigiq.

I'm curious as to why we can't grab the amulet and go back the way we came (unless it's a 1-way teleport thing) :)

Scenario fiat? I really don't know why either. It might be a case of that way is significantly longer? But also these fellows aren't going to let you get away now though.

I figured we are going out the way we came in, but they didn't activate until we had the relic.

There's a nice bottleneck that we could force them into if we wanted to reposition ourselves during their demands.

Any character can use Infernal Detonations? Not just the character that played 01-11?

Any character can be the trigger for Infernal Detonations. It has to be Alaric that actually spends his reaction.

I know -- but I have played 01-11 with a different character. Can I slot the boon to Francine for this scenario?

Nope, it is attached onto the character that received the chronicle.

I was afraid of that... oh well :)

Hey guys sorry for the hold up. I got knocked out by a sinus infection fro a few days there and just haven't been up to getting back on the boards here. I'll get us moving along in just a moment.

Hope you're feeling better -- I just thought you ate too much turkey...

Ooof, sounds rough, GM. I hope you're feeling better.

Though what is Kondai referring to about the mud elementals? The only thing I can think of is the special during GDX

Intro 1 has randomized encounters. One of them is mud elementals.

Just to comply with the Organized Play Foundation Community Standards on damage by friendly fire, Francine has no objection unless she is dying, unconscious or in danger of either (or can be immediately healed to avoid either condition).

@Fiery Fran

Your Swashbuckler needs to go into martial artist dedication at level 2 so she can be an unarmed attacker like the rest of the party :p

(j/k)

what language is that, GM?

what language is that, GM?

.

Haitian Creole according to google translate. I suspect it started off as a pidgin of . . . . I'm guessing root French and a native Haitian language and then as it began to be spoken natively instead of a trade language it became a creole (a creole is a language that is derived from a pidgin-a mashing together of two languages as a trade language- that has become a fully-fledged language in its own right spoken natively by at least some population.)

Looking on wikipedia.

Ah, I was half right, it's french and an AFRICAN language, brought over by African slaves, from the Fongbe and Igbo tribes. It uses predominantly French vocab but Fongbe/Igbo grammer. Pretty common for a creole.

LINGUISTICS!

Got it in one! Yup I picked a random language that used a similar/the same alphabet as English. And a creole would fit goblins pretty well I feel. I mean their Common for many goblins approaches something similar to one some of the time.

Well I recognized the French, but it had some others in there...

For future reference, Fran's primary melee weapon is a rapier. She has Flying Blade and was planning to throw the axe... :)

You could have readily switched to your weapon of choice.

Would the Magic Weapon transfer, though?

Switched as in sheathe one and draw the other.

This flame aura is going to bite us when we come across flame wielding goblins or an alchemist! Lol

And seems I spoke too soon. :( Silly goblins and their fire!

Will get some healing out next round to help keep some folks up.

Did the White border goblin surrender?

Well not so much as surrender, but give up. If you gave them an opening they'd just run for it.

I'm not sure I understand the challenge here.

It looks like we just need to get as many scroll tubes out of the chamber as possible before the room drowns us, which doesn't seem to require much decision making on our part with the available information? What am I missing.

Sorry for the confusion, given this is a repeatable and people have probably played it before, I've moved the order of things around here a little. Traditionally you're supposed to try deciphering things in the room (which has a picture that fits literally none of the options) and then a fight happens, but it makes more sense to take them out and dechiper later. I could just push you into the fight now (and was ready to yesterday, but wanted to make sure the hit point problems were resolved first.)

Today I was trying to preserve player agency, but I can just boot you into the fight instead, if you prefer, or we could try the skill checks in the room as the scenario sets up (which realistically is defenintely not where you want to be exposing old documents. )

OK. I see, I think. The scenario assumes you do all the researching of ancient scrolls in a damp, drippy room that could implode at any moment, which I agree makes no sense. So I was trying to figure out what the puzzle was, but the puzzle is in the scrolls that I wouldn't have thought to open in a damp, drippy room.

and btw, I am so stealing the kobold's reaction... :)

sorry, deleted my post, mistook the fort save thing for the bold may act thing. Brain not engaged. My bad.

Francine: It's your turn. You could draw your weapon and ready a strike against an appearing foe, run for your life, or something else.

I overlooked that it was my turn.. saw the fort save and thought that was all... my bad.

No worries, I was about to delay you and have what is going to happen, happen. It's getting around that time of year where people are busy with relatives, friends or events and I'm expecting the posting rates to drop off.

btw, how'd I take 6 damage? The 26 isn't a crit. Was it from failing the fort save?

The fort save was for 4 damage. Plus the 2 damage from the non-crit strike.

I had a feeling that was the case :)
