GM Erich's PFS #7-13 Captive in Crystal (Low Subtier 5-7) for NostalgiaCon (Inactive)

Game Master Thereus, Silver Crusader


Grand Lodge

Recruiting for 7-13 Captive in Crystal (5-9) --- to start January 10th. Taking first six in proper sub-tier.

Content in "Captive in Crystal" also contributes directly to the ongoing storyline of the Grand Lodge faction.

Will likely finish in about 7-8 weeks (with posts once a day on average).

About my GM style:

My own PbP combat style is to try and respect initiative order in resolving actions rather than just simple posting order (unless the sequence of events would benefit significantly otherwise). I'll roll initiatives at the start and some saves (or opportunity attacks) if I think they will affect my further actions in the turn to keep things moving. If you wish to delay on purpose, let me know, don't just wait on me. I will usually only update the combat narrative when everyone who can go has gone.

Make sure you roll for your actions in the order they occur in your turn. (Requested saves first and please do critical confirmations either immediately after the threatening roll or at the end of your attack sequence. Just be consistent. I will do the first method.)

Make sure you keep your tagline updated with the current value for your Saves, Perception, Initiative, and Armor Classes, considering your spells cast. Treat it as your verbal response if I were to ask you what the value was in a face to face game, because that is how I'll treat it. But don't worry about conditional modifiers like cover or prone, I'll handle that stuff.

I will try to keep track of everyone's ongoing buffs in the combat tracker during combats and will also show you enemy conditions (and heights, if they are flying), so we are all on the same page. Let me know if I missed something.

Feel free to ask about anything in the discussion threads or if you think I've ruled incorrectly or just made a mistake. You likely know your character better than I will. I'll make corrections as necessary, but I think we all know there are still some rules that are up to the GM's discretion. I try to rule by RAW for PFS, and stick to written tactics unless they are obviously illogical as the combat progresses.

Also, let me know if you need to take a short break from the game for any reason.

ahh phooey..didnt see this until now...

Grand Lodge

It looks like there is a lot of interest for this (and I don't see any PbP in the Gameday that I'm able to play), so I am going to run both the low tier and a high tier...

Low Tier...
Yaiho
Janus
Morait
Claudia
Aiden

High Tier...
Arrius
Elbe
Dana
IHIYC's character (Nemesis, Spenser, Vanzetti, Zeno)

grimdog73 also has a guaranteed spot in either tier if it is wanted...

Grand Lodge

Here I am...

Player Name: Paul McCrory/grimdog73
Character Name: Doran Therinor
PFS# for this character: 125948-12
Class: slayer
Level: 6
Faction: Grand Lodge
XP progression: normal

typical meatshield...but with skills...

Liberty's Edge

1 person marked this as a favorite.

I must confess, it pains me that I will not be at the proper table to get to see the shenanigans arising from Janus and Aiden working together, and poor sweet Claudia Kermit-grimacing all the way (just imagine if Xukong had joined them!)....

Player Name: I'm Hiding In Your Closet
Character Name: Zeno Loxley
PFS# for this character: 40025-8

Cool, so it looks like there are two spaces in high tier left.

Low Tier...
Yaiho
Janus
Morait
Claudia
Aiden
Doran

High Tier...
Arrius
Elbe
Dana
Zeno

Liberty's Edge

hehe... A lot of heavy damage dealers in our low tier group. hehe...

For the record, my highest damage dealt was 117 with a crit while raging.

Grand Lodge

my -01 rogue/slayer almost beat the BBEG in Reaver's roar...i was shocked

Dark Archive

I think we have 4 sneak attackers at the low tier table.

What are the odds that this scenario is full of earth elementals? :o

Grand Lodge

i have an adamantine weapon...and power attack. I can handle elementals...

Scarab Sages

Are we going to be relying on me for healing? (UMD and CLW wand)

Grand Lodge

i can play a pregen kyra...healing might be a factor

Dark Archive

Janus is a divine caster (inquisitor).

Grand Lodge

Swapping Aiden out for Grax here (and his Pathfinder master/familiar, Javon). One less sneak attacker, but you get a heavy armored fighter.

Grand Lodge

Feel free to dot and delete in the appropriate gameplay thread if you are locked in with the character you want to play.

Low subtier (5-7)

High subtier (7-9)


Do you have a spot in the high tier still? I can bring a sorcerer 7 or a cav/pal 9.

Grand Lodge

We do. Just need your info (see above) and you can dot and delete into the high subtier game.

Silver Crusade

Player Name - Meranthi
Character Name - Ellyjoybell Nopenstallen (she/her)
PFS# for this character - 246222-9
Class - Cavalier 6/Paladin 3
Level - 9
Faction - Silver Crusade
XP Progression (slow/normal) - Normal

I haven't updated her info on paizo, but I will do that before game start.


Any spot left in high tier? I have a blasty ranged kineticist (L8) or a tanky occultist (L9). The former also has some thieving skills which might be helpful for the team?

Grand Lodge

There is one space left at high tier (see the Dec 15 post above for the gameplay link)

So rosters are as follows:

Low Tier...
Yaiho
Janus
Morait
Claudia
Grax
Doran

High Tier...
Arrius
Elbe
Dana
Zeno
Ellyjoybell
Kuey's Character


i take it both tiers filled? I will gladly stand by if a spot opens up before game play starts for either tier.


I'm also available if a spot opens up. I have PCs in either tier.

Grand Lodge

Since we have a few on the waitlist, the twelve of you below go ahead and post your character introduction in the appropriate Gameplay thread now so I know you are ready to go and we will start the adventures on Monday.

Low Tier...
Yaiho
Janus
Morait
Claudia
Grax
Doran

High Tier...
Arrius
Elbe
Dana
Zeno
Ellyjoybell

Also, make sure your character sheet is filled out and up to date.

Grand Lodge

Looks like everyone showed up.
