GM Frost's Intro #1: The Second Confirmation (Inactive)

Game Master Frozen Frost

Hello, everyone! GM Frost here. Thank you for joining in on this game with me and welcome to PFS2 Intro #1: The Second Confirmation PbP Game. As we start, kindly fill up the Macros for the secret checks and Slides for your character information and tokens. Kindly update the Sign Up Sheet if you need some changes to make. The links are also posted just above the game thread. Here are some rules:

1. Please post at least once a day every day and at least once during the weekend. If you are absent for 24 hours, especially during combat, I will simply place your character on infinite delay just to keep things moving. If you're missing for 36 hours I'll mark you inactive and your Player Character (PC) will simply delay and that's not fun! For your information, I am based in Southeast Asia (UTC+8) so my posting hours may be unusual (especially for those in North America & Europe). I usually update at least once or twice per day.

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 (HP), Armor Class (AC), Saving Throws (Fortitude, Reflex, Will), Perception Bonus, etc.

3. Pathfinder 2e 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 two 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 have questions or concerns, feel free to share them in the Discussion tab. Let's have some fun and tell a great story together! After all, that's what we are here for.

Hi Aleksandr. First adventure at Lvl 2?

Hi everyone!

Checking in here with Desmond.

Yarr

Hi Aleksandr. First adventure at Lvl 2?

Playing? Yes. I do have 1 session worth of GM credit at level 2.

Thanks for the extra HP, Aleksandr.

2 gylphs here, assigned to Aleksandr and Desmond.

We're are waiting for Graeyson. I already notified him yesterday. But I'll just delay him for now, so we can move to the next part of the game. And yes, you all have one hero point each, and those who have GM glyphs, kindly share it on the Slides. Thanks.

Also, don't forget your details for the Slides and Macros.

Hi all. I am catching up and will have an intro post up in a few.

apologies in advance if there are any French here... :)

The inspiration for this character's name is Inspector James Japp from the Hercule Poirot series.

I've always imagined Desmond as having a light German accent, but never wanted to write it out. Maybe, I'll try it out sometime.

And Desmond is inspired by combat medic, Desmond Doss.

Nightwing here!

There are two votes for Mimosa, two for Opportune, one for Powerful Hector, one for abstain. So which one you all finally choose, Mimosa or Opportune?

I'd settle for Hector as a compromise, but I'd really rather not take Opprotune.

What Aleksandr said... :)

So majority wins, you will be aboard the Powerful Hector then. :)

Something to be noted:

Sorrina offers up some minor healing potions to the party. “Use that to assist in your mission.”

This should be three minor healing potions.

To Graeyson and Shagrat, kindly fill up the Slides and Macros asap. Thanks.

macros and slides are filled out.

As we play the game and before I forget, I would like to remind everyone that as per the Organized Play Foundation Community Standards and Expectations, it reads:

No Character-versus-Character Combat

In keeping with the “Explore, Report, Cooperate” motto of the Pathfinder Society, engaging in non-consensual character-versus-character conflict is prohibited. While accidental friendly fire happens due to missed attack rolls or other factors, players must obtain the consent of other players before deliberately including fellow PCs in damaging effects [emphasis mine]. Engaging in character-versus-character conflict will award Infamy points and may render a character unplayable. This rule does not apply in situations where a character is not acting of their own free will, such as if they’re being mind-controlled by an NPC and forced to attack a fellow Pathfinder.

You can click the links to read more about the Organized Play Foundation Community Standards and Expectations and the Paizo Organized Play Code of Conduct.

Friendly fire ok unless I'm in danger of dying.

Same. It's ok unless Desmond is dying. I'm assuming we're talking AOE or splash damage.

same here

KaBoom! Splash happens.

DM, thanks for putting the combat maps up in your recap posts.

You're welcome! It also helps me easier to look into the map without going all up to the top of the page.

It helps me to know which map we are on as well!

Do you think that a Nightwing build would be better served as a fighter, rouge or swashbuckler?

I have no idea what that means, but I might start by suggesting a PFS legal background instead of aerialist.

I changed that background. The DM brought it to my attention, I don't need another play to do so. That is kind of being a Karen.

I'm sorry, I thought you were asking for build help and was genuinely trying to be helpful.

Can we please try and be civil and not ask for help and then insult the people who try and help?

Your help did not come across as helpful to me. It came across as accusatory, especially since the queation was not addressed.

I'm sorry you didn't find it helpful. Now that we've established there was a miscommunication I would appreciate an apology for your insult and an agreement to behave civily going forward.

I apologize. I will be civil as long as you are civil to me.

Grah, I'm normally pretty good at actually adding courage, somehow Rain's buff just wasn't getting in my head for whatever reason.

Maybe I should make the words "Inspire Courage" not in ooc so it would be easier to see.

Ohh, that does stand out quite a bit more, thanks.

Sorry, the website has been wonky for me last night up unto today. It won't let me on using Chrome on my desktop, only phone, after clearing cookes and cache.

I am using MS Edge now.

I am somewhat experiencing it too. I hope they fix it.

It is a mess.

Sorry--just figured out I had to clear cookies to get back in. I thought the site was down. I'm back.

I think it was down for like a day

I can try to disable the mold. Survival +6 unless someone else has better...

I'd say go for it--I think you have the highest modifier.

Khagra is +5, I admit to peeking at character sheets before asking Zhamie.

We are close to the end of the scenario. Please check the details you have in RPG Chronicles. You can also roll here for your downtime, if you wish.

Lore PFS: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Circ8s lore 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Crafting: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

"Sacre bleu! Zis is a shoddy piece of vork!"

Don't mind me, just rolling some dice.

Warfare Lore: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

lore warfare: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

HERE are your chronicle sheets and the game has been reported. Kindly check if there needs some correction to be done. Thank you everyone!
