Game Master Blake's Tiger

Welcome to Pathfinder Society 2nd Edition Scenario 2-04: Path of Kings being run for Outpost V.
Sign-ups are managed through the central Outpost V Event Listing.
GM early player access opens February 13th, 2022.
General seating opens February 20th, 2022.

Checking in.

I have a GM baby level 3 champion I want to throw into this game, except I am very unlikely to be done with the AP that grants access to the boon I need in time. Not going to sign up now in case other people want to play, but I will later if I do pick up the boon or there's still space just before the con starts and I can throw in a pregen.

Scratch is here!

Hello! ~

Hey all.

@GM Blake - thanks for running this table. It is one of the season 2 scenarios that I did not play, and I am looking forward to do so.

@Aerondor - great to see Teja again, I am glad to be playing with you here.

@Massee - long time no see, I haven't played with you for months. I hope you are all right and I am excited to see gunslinger at a full scenario

And isn't this @ElektraDawns playing cleric of Calistria, who would have expect that ;) Hey, I also haven't played with you for a couple of months. (and actually only on SFS).

I hope you are all fine! I will be bringing my Orcish druid, whom I will level up to 3rd lvl shortly.

@Gm I have (or will have in few days) my first glyph, so I shall give an extra Hero Point to the lowest lvl PC. For now that would be Elixia, but if Dog of War join I would have to roll ;)

Nice to see you again too Farol. I've been fine, just haven't had as many games on my plate lately.

I rebuilt Scratch from a crossbow focused ranger into a gunslinger:sniper. I do miss some of the extra skills, but the increased options for reloading and damage output for a one shot per turn build is nice. AND I get to play with explosives.. what's not to like?

FYI though, the crits can be very large and end fights too fast.

Hi everyone!

Checking in

Radim, I was looking at your build and I will openly admit, I see something I am eager to emulate. Great call on your part use the Striking Returning runes on a light hammer.

@GM - I will be transferring my fundamental runes on my longsword to a light hammer and seeing if I can afford a returning rune as well.

Doe anyone know the cost of transferring a +1 potency and a Striking rune?

Thanks.

EDIT: Looks like it's 1 day per rune and the DC is determined by the level of the

The DC of the Crafting check to transfer a rune is determined by the item level of the rune being transferred, and the Price of the transfer is 10% of the rune’s Price, unless transferring from a runestone, which is free. If you’re swapping, use the higher level and higher Price between the two runes to determine these values. It takes 1 day (instead of the 4 days usually needed to Craft) to transfer a rune or swap a pair of runes, and you can continue to work over additional days to get a discount, as usual with Craft.

Total cost of runes is 100gp = 10gp. The DC of potency is 2, striking is 4. Azu doesn't have crafting, does anyone know what it costs to get someone to craft?

Transferring Runes

You can just pay the 10% cost as long as you're doing it before the briefing or after the mission.

Awesome sauce. Azu will be doing that and applying a Returning Rune to his light hammer. Just need to make sure I have the 65 gp needed.

Here is the sign-in sheet.

You only need to fill out the Org Play number and character number, level, and e-mail (if you want your Chronicle sent to you at the end of the game).

You e-mails are only visible to me. They're not required, but it's the fastest way to get your Chronicles.

Azu Azan, thanks for the high rating of the build! ))

The hammer will definitely beat with electricity a little later ;)

You're welcome. It's such a neat way to add ranged attacks to my TWF ranger without having to switch to the shortbow. A total gem of build design and makes me happier about playing my ranger.

Just some more context. I am using doubling rings with a sword and light mace. Originally, I was putting the runes on my sword with the gold ring hand, right? But now, I will put them on the light hammer and and gold ring, and hold the sword in the other hand. That way the hammer continues to benefit from striking while thrown, and the sword gets all the same benefits while in melee.

Hey @ ‘Eκάτη good to see you again, and you @N N 959

@Gm - it seems I will get some unexpected 12 XP for Rangi so he will be level 4 when the scenario starts on Monday. I will update him, but today or tomorrow I am ending lvl 2 game with him (on PBP) so I am still waiting for it to finish. GM promises to end before Sunday.

OK. Please update the RPGChronicles so that the Challenge Points and rewards calculate correctly. Thanks. :)

Done!

Hello, Farol! .)

Hey Farol. Save some Nature checks for me!

@GM - so yes, I have plenty of cash to transfer the runes given the PFS rules on it. I will also sell my light pick.

Please go HERE to fill out macros for secret checks, initiatives, and botting.

This version has a separate tab for each player. Please rename the tab to your character's name.

Do note that I perform very limited botting, so if you know you'll need someone to take over your character, it's in your strategic interest to ask one of your fellow players to bot your character.

Done.

Done.

Also, /waves to Farol!

Done, my other games are done, I upgraded Rangi to lvl 4. I would give the hero point to Elixia since she is the lowest lvl PC. I need to finalize the purchase but it will go along the lines:

Wovenwood Shield - thanks to boon: Frequent Shopper boon (Relics and Remembrance)
Bastard Sword with +1 striking rune and if I have enough gold: Trinity Geode spellheart

Friends, I made a mistake and missed this scenario in the list of those that I have already played (although I specifically checked... nat 1 on perception). I apologize and leave the game. Have a good game to everyone!

Been there, done that. Have a good one Radim.

But at least your use of the returning light hammer shall live on! I consider your mistake a sign of providence that a higher force likes Rangers even if Paizo doesn't.

I sent a message to Dog of War.

In the meantime, if anyone else has Glyph Hero Points to hand out, do so now. Also choose your School consumable, if applicable.

Scroll of heal (1) here!

Rangi would take a scroll of heal as well, and as stated before hero point from my glyph goes to @Elixia

Lesser healing potions (2) here.

Minor Healing Potion x2

Scratch also has infused reagents that he makes into gunpowder/rounds and explosives.

Infused Reagents (level 1): 4/day (Default: Lesser Alchemist's Fire x6, Arquebus Ammo x20)

Apologies, does anyone have link on what we can take for School?

Pathfinder Schools

Thanks, I'll just go with the healing potions.

I've left Teja off and set the CP down to you four. If Teja returns--hopefully he's OK--I'll put him back in and increase the CP accordingly.

I'm here, sorry, didn't notice things happening.

OK! Was worried about you. :)
I'll slip you into the initiative and the wolves get some reinforcements.

Was Azu able to detect tracks of the wolves and thus start the round with one of them designated as his prey?

No. You were follow's Tewakam's path into the forest and the wolves explicitly attacked him on his way out of the forest, so they came from the opposite direction.

Also, everyone sees the dire wolves have 10 ft reach.

*I'm not sure if soft cover qualifies or not, at the minimum he gets to reload anyhow.

Since there's a feat for using allies as cover, I don't think characters without such a feat can do it (plus Ragni probably isn't going to stay there :)). However, if you get adjacent to or within a tree square, that'll work.

Ya I usually beat feet for cover as soon as possible, but with us vs so many foes I wanted to get a pair of shot off the first turn before things got hectic. Sounds good, that's what I think as well.

I'm on mobile and can't get the slides app to work on my phone. Could someone please move Elixia 4 squares to the left then one square diagonal down-left? Thank you!

Done.

The problem I've encountered--I don't know if this is where you're having trouble--is that Safari opens the links as a slide show even if you have the GoogleSlides app. However, I discovered that if you long press the slide it will give you an option to "Edit Slide," which will then take you to the app.

Can I move back to my original Init spot? I don't always have a chance to post on the weekends

No, for several reasons.

Are we considered to have all weapons drawn since we are told Tweka is being pursued by monsters? Azu will always travel with at least his light hammer out on account of being a TWF.

Again... unless it's obviously inappropriate (like inside a tavern or a banquette or something where I'll tell you), I leave it to the players to decide how their PCs walk around in regards to what weapons you have out or don't have out.

Now, if I notice a player always have different weapons out that just happen to be the right ones for the situation, then I may comment. If I don't notice, and someone puts one past me, well, cookie to them.

Teja is a scholar. Unless there is an immediate warning of danger she would not have her weapons out.

I leave for vacation Saturday to Saturday. I won't be able to post. Scratch is fairly straight forward in combat: Recall knowledge or stride, Shoot, covered reload. He avoids social CHA based checks but goes all in on any wilderness type rolls. Combat macros are on his sheet.

See you all in a week!

That last one is dead thrice over after Teja. :)

Hero Point to Azu and Teja for risking the curse hits.

Apologies. Weather induced school closings yesterday threw a long wrench into my plans. Should be updating tomorrow morning.

I'm back. The airlines decided to stop flying when I needed to get home. Its been a long drive. I'll get back to posting throughout the day. Sorry.

Was I able to shield block the strike?

If you didn't take an AOO, yes.
