Longroads Coffeehouse 2.0

Game Master chadius

Despite me forgetting, don't forget your Courageous Anthem bonuses.

Just a heads up that I'll be unavailable on Saturday and Sunday. I'll be back at the game by Monday.

Can someone bot Stitch, who is on an ice fishing trip?

Welcome back Hmm! We missed you!

Pickle?

I botted Stitch. I assume Meat Wagon does not benefit from Inspire Courage, as it is a construct.

I missed me too, Lokaloka, and I will take your pickles but not your stewed bats!

Thank you for the botting, Bella!

Man, I wish that I rolled like Bot Buddy!

MUA. HA. HA. IT IS MY INNATE SUPERIORITY AS AN ARTIFICIAL BEING COMING THROUGH. DOWN WITH ORGANICS! MEAT WAGON, DITCH THAT STITCH AND JOIN ME. TOGETHER WE WILL RULE THE WORLD.

WHO NEEDS PCs?

"But who will change my oil and grease my sprockets? I love a good greased sprocket."

If things don't go well I'll go the monster truck route...

HEY! DON'T FORGET ME! WE RULE THE WORLD TOGETHER!!

*Frostbot swiftly whizzes past everyone when it detects signs of a potential bot revolution.*

*beep boop*

"BETTER LATE THAN NEVER."

*boop beep*

I'm trying to find the rules for squeezing and they didn't seem very specific.

Is Meat Wagon able to move through these 5' halls as if they were difficult terrain, or greater difficult terrain? Or do I need to use the squeeze action?

Squeeze

I think you need to use the Squeeze action.

To the best of my knowledge, it isn’t covered.

The Squeeze action is for when you need to use Acrobatics to Squeeze and is only defined for exploration mode.

I have generally considered it difficult terrain although I could see a GM making it greater difficult terrain. It isn’t so difficult as to require the acrobatics check, but it is tougher than normal movement.

Then treat it as difficult terrain.

Oh and since we are close to the end, can I have day job rolls?

So there are no 3 days per XP from Field Commissioned anymore, right?

There are not.

I actually goofed with the Persona Mask -- it only applies to either singing or performing comedy, not pipes playing... So I guess I'll go back to my old bonus :)

Lokaloka plays a good old chicken dance on her pipes

Performance, Wind Instruments: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27

Performance: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

It turns out vermin love tap dancing, and Khiari is able to sell Bella's dances as environment-friendly extermination services.

So there are no 3 days per XP from Field Commissioned anymore, right?

That is a bummer. I made a lot of characters with field commissioned to focus on their crafts/lores.

Expert Craft: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17

Assuming you haven’t already done your rebuild, found this on pg 275 of GM Core.

MAESTRO'S INSTRUMENT ITEM 3+

MAGICAL

Usage held in 2 hands;
Bulk 1

A maestro's instrument can be crafted in the form of any variety of handheld musical instruments. A maestro's instrument grants you a +1 item bonus to Performance checks while playing music with the instrument.

Activate—Charming Performance [two-actions] (manipulate) Frequency once per day; Effect You play the instrument, causing it to cast a DC 17 charm spell.
…

Still not all uses of Perform, but it might fit your character better.

Spending some time at the tea shops…

Vardarel's Politics (T): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

DC 16 Crafting to Earn Income: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

Now that is better... does anyone want a slightly used (and slightly sticky with pickle juice) persona mask? No? sighs and trots off to the Grand Bazaar to exchange it for a new set of magical pipes.

You can have Musical Instrument (Virtuoso Handheld) for 50 gp, but it does not have the nice charm spell.

THE GM STOLE MY NATURAL 20. UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR FROM A CONNIVING ORGANIC.

Actually I went off and bought exactly that magical item for my other bard... for 10gp more you get a nice charm spell with that once a day! :)

Fran and Mister Midnight collect herbs to sell to the local apothecaries...

Herbalism Lore: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

I'm more of a >Dancing Scarf< fan, but maybe I'll also think about the Persona Mask.

Maybe the >Bracelet of Dashing< for Khiari? Bella is quick enough.

oooh... dancing scarf might be good for a rogue...

Maybe the >Bracelet of Dashing< for Khiari? Bella is quick enough.

I do not think that will work.

Your eidolon can't wear or use magic items, except for items with the eidolon trait.

She can benefit from Item bonuses on magical items you have, including fundamental armor and weapon runes. With the weapon runes, you either have to invest a weapon or use handwraps.

Items with the Eidolon trait are few and higher level.

Oh, good catch. The only benefit would be a +1 Acrobatics bonus for Bella. Vivacious Speed already grants her a status bonus to Speed (5ft normally without Panache, 10ft with).

Stitch, you ready to send us on a lion hunt next? Unfortunately, this pickle loving gobbo won't be coming along... You'll get Roark back.

Yes, I'll have to work on getting things set up this weekend between maple syrup boils.

Lions enjoy eating birds.

Heads up to everyone: I will be unavailable tomorrow and Sunday due to a company outing in the UTC+8 timezone. If my character's actions in combat can be delayed, please Delay them accordingly. I'll be back by Monday. Thank you!

Oh, we's just makes you go ahead and we's uses yous for cover...

I think it is time to use my Remaster rebuild on Vardarel. Get him sanctified so he can do Holy Spirit damage and review some of my other choices. I expect that I will be reducing his Charisma as part of the rebuild since it no longer makes a difference for channeling.

Can anyone help me find my chronicle for 5-01? I think that Lady Ladile issued it, but I cannot find the post with my search-fu.

I'm probably going to wait for book 2 to come out, just in case one of the other base classes was heavily reworked that I'm playing.

Its nice to see clerics that aren't all hugs and kisses!

Look in your e-mail since it would have been sent by RPGChronicle as they were doing Gameday XII reporting. I think only the people on that event could resend the chronicle since Ladile would have marked it Ready for Reporting.

Mine is dated 09/04/2023.

Thank you for the chronicles.

So is Clover rejoining us for Lions of Katapesh?

Chronicle looks good, btw. Thanks GM!

It looks like I never received the email.

^Just tried resending it; let me know if that one doesn't come through.

Thank you! It has been received now!

Chronicle looks good. I'll get situated for feeding Lions so we can start in the next couple days while everyone gets updated.
