EbonFist's SFS Special Perils of the Past (Inactive)

Game Master EbonFist

But I like all the shinies! :)

My issue with these group scenarios is how you get pushed along regardless of being able to finish off or not. I know it is important for pacing reasons especially in a live game but it does take away from your sense of agency in the adventure itself.

I don't disagree. I'm a bit of a completionist so knowing there are entire encounters I didn't get to drives me a little crazy.

I do like the scope and sweep, though. It often makes it feel like you're really part of a large organization in a way that the normal scenarios don't.

Twila-5's modifiers:

Computers: +7
Culture: +6
Engineering: +7
Mysticism: +3

It might be easier if we assign one PC to each task so we're not trying to guess who's doing what.

That being said...this part of the scenario is only a couple days long so hop on those skill checks to manipulate the glyphs and bypass the traps unless you want to feel skipped over again.

So sorry for not posting for a few days there. Life has been busy recently. I'm moving from all of the schools I teach at and my base school closed down so I was running around helping them clean-up, move things around and get rid of unnecessary things or stuff with personally identifiable information. It's sapped my energy and time. Things will be settling down next week, and I should be able to post more regularly.

OMG I Forgot My PARADOXES: 3d20 ⇒ (14, 20, 13) = 47

Things can move fast in a Special...One of the sections got done entirely yesterday. We can't actually play and contribute to the successes but it's important to the plot so I wanted to post it here and give you guys a chance to RP through it, if you want:

The chamber beyond the Cipher Door is enormous. Its most prominent feature is a round archway of luminous crystal set atop a red stone platform at its center. The arch crackles with veins of light, providing surprisingly bright illumination. Pillars arrayed beside the door lead in and around the arch, and an empty fountain stands to the right of the entrance.

Next to the archway, carving symbols into the crystal, is a summerborn ryphorian woman dressed in a jaunty traveler’s outfit. At the sound of the door opening, she turns around, surprise evident on her face. “Ah, hello,” she mumbles hesitantly. “Can I…help you?” She chuckles nervously, then shakes her head. “Sorry. I haven’t been around people much lately."

Felise and the arch are on slide 12.

We're winding down folks so can I get day job rolls from anyone who's going to make one?

And I need all of Arthur's reporting information.

No day job for George. Thanks for the game. :)

Profession (Electrician): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

PFS Number: 259896-701
Faction: Dataphiles
*Chronicle Sheet #: 3
Fast or Slow Track: Fast
*Starting XP: 2
Day Job Roll: Profession(Corporate professional): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Profession Librarian: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

You guys got it just in time. The special closes out today.

Feel free to RP with Felise until it does.

Hey guys, as the post says, that's the end of the scenario. If you have any questions or want to RP with Felise and Heraxia (or anyone else) after the mission, feel free.

Thanks for playing. I really enjoyed this group.

Chronicle sheets are HERE and the game has been reported from my side, though the people running the special have to report it as well.

If there are any problems, let me know.

My Chronicle looks good.

Thanks for running this for us, GM EbonFist! Specials are a lot to juggle, so you deserve an extra round of applause.

Thank you for running the game, and also to the players. Chronicle looks good.

Thanks for the game!

It was great to play with everyone, sorry for being busy or out of it for most of it! It was fun when I had the time!
