1. Please post at least once a day. If you are absent for 24 hours I'll send you a PM. If you're missing for 36 hours I'll mark you inactive and your Player Character will simply delay - that's not fun!
2. Under your name, please add a stat block, so I can quickly find your stats and keep the game moving. You can edit your character's Race, Class/Levels and Gender fields to include information such as:
- Hit Points
- AC
- Saving Throws
- Perception Bonus
3. What about Secret Rolls? Pathfinder 2nd ed has a lot of secret rolls the GM is supposed to make for the players, so the PCs can't react to a bad roll. Any skill with the Secret tag should be rolled privately. If I show the DC, feel free to make the roll openly. Otherwise, there are 2 ways to do this in my games:
- You can say which skill and which bonus you want to apply. (Example: "I use Occultism +5 to investigate the skull's mystic origin.")
- Or you spoiler your dice roll and everyone sticks to the honor system of not opening it.
If you haven't added Pathfinder specific equipment, I suggest you look at the >PFS 2 Society rules<, in particular the Pathfinder Training section.
Once you have your character selected, please post this information:
Character name: (the PC you are playing in Golarion)
PFS/Organized Play number: (It should look something like 133608-2001.)
Faction:
XP:
Money: (usually written in GP)
Earn Income: (feel free to roll it. Also mention any feats that may impact your job roll. >Here's a calculator< you can use to figure out your earnings.)
Perception Bonus:
Initiative Bonus:
PFS School Items: (Optional, >See this chart< for your options)
Slotted Boons: (Optional, you can determine this after the mission briefing)
Alright, looks like we have enough for a legal table. I'll work on creating the slides later today/tomorrow morning. Thanks for joining, everyone!
Okay, I've added slides. You can see them in the campaign info on top of the thread, and in the GM Chadius header under 3-99.
You can also click >HERE<. I've put your slides in a random marching order. Please rearrange the icons however you wish. This will also tell me if you are able to edit the slides.
Once that's done, click >HERE< to enter the Gameplay thread. Feel free to introduce yourself, or dot & delete. That way you won't forget when we get started next week.
Kalderan: Thanks for rolling your earn income check. I see you have a bear - size Large? I'll add them to the slides in a few hours unless you want to add it now.
Kalderan and Evindal: Can you fill this out? It will make chronicle sheet generation easy.
Character name: (the PC you are playing in Golarion)

Everyone has checked in, great.
I've added your icons to slide 2. You can click >HERE< to access them directly. Feel free to rearrange your marching order in single row and 2 per column arrangements. Link to the 3-99 slides are always in my profile as well as the campaign info at the top of this thread.
If you haven't done so, you can check in to the Gameplay thread >HERE< and check in.

So we have Ulfgar and Kalderan as TWF melee rangers? And Kalderan has a bear companion. Then Leptus is a ranged specialist with a bird companion?
Then Reylar is ranged spells, and Evindal is a bomber?
Rhaegal can be ranged damage, but he might need to take up healing and some control them, it seems. Probably no need to wild-shape for him then.

Sorry for the delay in posting my details. Didn't find the time until today to get my character leveled up.
Character name: Evindal Mog
PFS/Organized Play number: 100198-2002
Faction: Envoy's Alliance
XP: 24
Money: 8.17 gp
Earn Income: I'm a field-commissioned agent, so I receive 12 days of downtime.
I'll use the first 7 days to retrain Ranger Dedication Feat to Investigator Dedication Feat.
I'll use the remaining 5 days to continue working on a Crafting project that is already underway: I'm currently in the process of crafting a batch of 4 Silversheen (which would ordinarily cost 6 gp each, or 24 gp for the entire batch). I've already spent 1 day (not 4 due to the Crafters Workshop boon from the Envoy's Alliance) and 12 gp for half the raw materials (noted on my prior chronicle sheet); then I spent 4 days crafting (with a result of success), reducing the total cost by 1.2 gp; so there is still 10.8 gp due before the items are complete (also noted on prior chronicle sheet).
Success. Each day spent reduces the total cost by 5 sp; since I have 5 days of downtime remaining I'll use all of them to reduce the cost by 2.5 gp. The batch of 4 silversheen are still not complete but need only 8.3 gp worth of materials (or crafting) to be finished.
Perception Bonus: +6 (+8 to Seek Hunted Prey)
Initiative Bonus: +6 (if using Perception)
PFS School Items: None. Field-commissioned agent.
Slotted Boons: Skillful Mentor (For any PCs benefiting from a Level Bump and whose levels are lower than yours, you increase the Level Bump’s modifier to skill checks to 2.)
Slotted Boons: Hireling (either: Deception/Theater Lore OR Medicine/Midwifery Lore, depending on the briefing. In either case, the Hireling gives a flat +5 bonus to rolls).
Chronicle Boons that may be relevant:
01) Traveler of the Spirit Road: Whenever you would critically fail a check to Hide, Sneak, Sense Direction, or Track WHILE IN A FORESTED AREA, you may check a box [3 uses] as a free action to treat that check as a failure instead.
02) Valais's Assurance: [2 uses] Spend an action to use the champion focus spell lay on hands, heightened appropriately for your level. This does not cost a focus point. [Touch range; restore 6 hp/level & give +2 status to AC for 1 round. Or, vs Undead, does 1d6/level dmg & basic Fort (fail = -2 status to AC for 1 round)
03) Touched by the Storm: While this boon is slotted, you gain cold & electricity resistance 1.
04) Doom Averted: "When your dying value is increased to exactly the amount that would kill you, this boon automatically activates. Decrease your dying value by one." ONE TIME USE.

Re earlier discussion of party composition, Evindal is indeed a bomber. He'll use 6 of his 7 reagents to start out with 2 moderate bombs of the six types he knows (leaving 1 reagent in reserve).
He's also just picked up a Backfire Mantle that he would like to loan to a front-liner for the duration of the scenario. Basically gives whomever is wearing it Resistance 3 to splash from his bombs. 1 Bulk and uses your Cloak slot. Anyone want it?
Thanks for the heads up, Reylar.
Thank you for the character info, Evindal.
As per PFS rules on player vs player damage, how do players feel about getting caught in Evindal's bomb splash radius? Better we say it now rather than in the heat of combat. I've seen responses like:
- Whatever kills the monsters fast is fine with me. Bombs away!
- I'm OK taking splash damage as long as I'm not Unconscious and Dying.
- Do not damage me with your bombs under any circumstance.
But please indicate your preference now.
Evindal is offering a >Backfire Mantle< to protect someone from bomb splash damage. One of the frontliners should take it.
We start in about 9 and a quarter hours. Get ready!

By the way, if you ever get to cast Divine or Primal level 4 magic spells, I heartily suggest >Soothing Spring<. It's a 10d8 heal, but you have to spend an hour soaking in a sauna/mud bath/mineral hot tub. Forces everyone to talk about their adventures, discuss strategy and just say hi.

A minor update, if possible: I'd like to do this scenario for Vigilant Seal (rather than Envoy's Alliance, which I wrote previously). I think that with the disappearance of the fame system and the champion boons I can just choose any particular faction for any given scenario, but I'm not 100% sure about that.
Thanks to your good rolling, you have gained some >Preparation rewards<.
- Please choose ONE item from the Magical Investigation list.
- Please choose TWO items from the Supplies list.
Don't forget you have a free >Lesser Healing Potion<.
You also get a +1 Fort and a +1 Will Saving throw bonus against the next saves you need to make. I will try to remember this, but feel free to tell me if I forget (or you can include it in your roll.)
To keep track of this, I included these benefits in the campaign info at the top of the thread. It looks like this:
Evindal: Fort +1 | Will +1 | +1 Aid | Healing Potion | 1 Magical | 2 Supplies
Kalderaan: Fort +1 | Will +1 | +1 Aid | Healing Potion | 1 Magical | 2 Supplies
Leptus: Fort +1 | Will +1 | +1 Aid | Healing Potion | 1 Magical | 2 Supplies
Relyar: Fort +1 | Will +1 | +1 Aid | Healing Potion | 1 Magical | 2 Supplies
Rheagal: Fort +1 | Will +1 | +1 Aid | Healing Potion | 1 Magical | 2 Supplies
Ulfgar: Fort +1 | Will +1 | +1 Aid | Healing Potion | 1 Magical | 2 Supplies
That should cover everyone's supplies except for Leptus.
Remember you have an opportunity to purchase supplies for the adventure before you are teleported away.
You will soon come across one of multiple routes to select from. Once 2 people choose the same route I'll bring everyone there.
Wow. That DC is mean for this level
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Typo, the trap DC should be 20, NOT 29.
I wouldn't be surprised if there's an athletics or acrobatics check involved to land in the right spot even though we can jump the distance by the rules.
My GM brain would call for Athletics check at the same DC to haul the body, yeah

I concur. However, the DC is likely lower (maybe half) due to the low gravity here. DC 5-ish? We'll see! :D
|
Unless I was going to say the result of a failure on that check was that someone got hit by the trap, or that a failure meant that it was impossible for those people to haul the body, I wouldn't call for a check.
If it's just a check to see how long people have to try and there's no time limit then there's no need for a check.
We're about to finish this challenge. Good job everyone. Remember you have 10 minutes after this to Treat Wounds or Refocus.
So, feel free to choose one of these next routes.
- A. One of the paths seems to be guarded by some kind of construct. You'll have to clear the way.
- C. Pools of magic were found at the end of this path. I need you to secure them from any threats so we may analyze their nature.
- D. There is an ancient library down this road. We need to know its contents.
- E. Ascending stairs lead to a room we know is important, but copper statues guard the way.
I have no preference after healing.
