[Gameday XI] GM Eclipse's The Slave Master's Mirror

Game Master Agent Eclipse

Welcome everyone! I look forward to an exciting game with you all and will have an RPG chronicle posted for you till fill out (if you don't mind) in the next few days. This site just lets me create chronicle sheets much easier!

Alright! Welcome to my players and I hope to have a wonderful time bringing this scenario together for you! Life has been rough lately but offering more 1E scenarios to keep the scene alive has me feeling rejuvenated for this upcoming event!

This is the link to the RPG Chronicles, if you can fill it out for me to make creating your chronicles much easier. If you are opposed to making an account or using the website, just let me know and I can add the info.

`Feel free to make your day job rolls here.

`Same for Faction Card rolls or if you need to do something specific for your task to ask the question.

`I usually let my players annotate their own purchases but if you want me to put it on the chronicle I can.

`If your character has any odd rules or combos that you want to tell me about please do, spoiler if you like.

`I aim for multiple posts a day as a GM if the action allows, but for players I ask for 1 post a day or weekend and to try to push the action forward as a group. No worries if life comes up, I can bot after 24 hours (specific instructions help).

`Lastly, lets work to have fun together!

Currently, we have a full 6 (tentatively):

Mustaparta: Gunslinger 5/Oracle 1
PaleDim: Magus (Eldritch Scion) 4
kaervek78: TBD
Gerald: Warpriest 4
grimdog73: TBD
roll4initiative: Slayer 4

That is an enemy blender if I ever saw one! Looks like a good group so far.

Day job, Perform (dance): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

No new purchases right now. I don't think I have any special notes for this character. RP-wise, she is not the most trusting (nor sometimes trustworthy) character and is happily doing investigative work for Zarta Dralneen -- whatever that means in this mission :)

Actually Nilah could buy one thing: 1000gp to upgrade her mithral shirt to +1.

Hello everyone!

We are roughly a week from starting, that means I am going to double check everything and have an initial post for roleplaying prior to start.

This link leads to RPG chronicles which expedites the creation of chronicles after completion. If you can add information on their it would be greatly appreciated but I can add it myself if needed: Chronicles

Slides are linked in the campaign header and my tagline. I will be updating them as I polish things up. There are slides available where you can place an icon for preferred marching order and initiative/perception.

I look forward to our game together!

Obviously the scenario's topic is sensitive to start with, but it's very personal for this particular character. Expect a little emotion. I will try no to overdo it.

Ah yes, my apologies. I would usually give an amount of warning for topics that can be heavy such as these but I got a bit overwhelmed as Gameday started and it slipped my mind.

If anyone struggles or needs a break please let me know. The theme runs fairly consistently through the scenario so please don't hesitate to let me know if anything grows too much. I want to ensure everyone is able to have a quality time. Emotion is okay and understandable.

Always here to talk or answer any questions/requests.

oh, it's in the title. no need to apologize. I'm more just explaining this character's reactions (it's a key element of her backstory). The player will be fine too.

Hey, I don’t think I dotted those thread, so I’m tagging in now.

Since Muddy's bow is useless without arrows, can he have a set of arrows shrunk down along with his bow?

*Bump* on my question above.

If we are allowed to retcon: Dimak does not really need a shrunken hammer if he poses as a slaver...

Ah my apologies. Since Dimak will not be shrinking an item, your arrows can be shrunken in their place. Apologies for not answering earlier.

Nilah, Dimak, & Goran are slavers, right?

Muddy, Perrine, & Jakko are slaves?

Just making sure I got it all correct.

Correct on my end.

Correct.

GM, I am attempting some bluffing to make up for the poor disguise performance. If it doesn't make sense let me know (here, PM, discord, whatever).

I thought Jaakko was supposed to be a slaver, not Goran.

Yeah, I thought Jaakko and Goran were switched on that list from the roleplay before. I can adjust if not.

Slavers: Nilah, Dimak, Jakko.

Slaves: Muddy, Perrine, Goran.

Slavers: Nilah, Dimak, Jakko.

Slaves: Muddy, Perrine, Goran.

*Bump*

Yeah, best I know.

Right?

Yep.

Okay, perfect. Also sorry...been having so many posts it was bound that the server goblins eat a few.

Yay, successful bluffing :)

Goran, do you still have create water prepared? I have an idea to cause a distraction if we need it. Several times a day, too.

@Goran: wondering if you still have create water prepared. (You did use it during our introductions when we were playing with the water pitcher.)

Currently on vacation this week, so my posting may slow a bit more but trying to make time to make a post when I can.

Apologies, I ended up very sick while traveling and have been bed-ridden.

Apologies, I ended up very sick while traveling and have been bed-ridden.

Oof. So sorry to hear. Being ill on vacation is the worst thing ever. I hope you get well soon.

Yeah, it was a pain but home and on the up'n'up. Will get back into the groove soon.

My vote goes to keeping the ruse. So I would like to catch Gima without hurting her (too much).

@GM Eclipse:
1) Where exactly on the map should we put our tokens? Is there a special zone or just anywhere near Gima (or will you arrange the tokens after all are put)?
2) You wrote that bold can act, but no one is bolded in the list.

I wanted to get everyone on the map before people started taking actions, I will make a circle for you to place them in.

Thanks for clearing that up! :)

Aren't all the slaves, including Muddy and the hyena, all chained together?

"OKAY? We leave!"

The group are then connected to three more slaves and one angry looking hyena. They are a female halfling, male human, and a female human both of Kellish make.

Link.

Ya know, let me double check because you are right and the scenario just has the hyena run right off without mentioning how it gets unchained. Good catch!

Okay, that was my bad. The hyena isn't actually attached to your leads, it just looms over the group.

But is Muddy attached to the halfling? He'll have to try and keep up with her if he is.

No, he's not.

The group feels that they almost convinced her with their affiliations and mentions of a later escape but the she shakes her head, her chains and collar dropping to the sand before she starts to sprint full force.

Oh! Nice. Thanks for finding that.

So it sounds like the gnolls are away at night? If so, that seems to be the best time to explore and look around a bit. At least that’s my early thoughts.

Or do we kill all the hyenas left behind then set up ambush? Take gnolls out when they return, then explore?

Most will be either hunting according to what the head slave says or possibly doing other things.

You overheard a gnoll saying something about wine when you first arrived. Those posing as slavers have also heard of a celebration tonight as well for at least some of the gnolls.

Ahhh. They'll be drunk or passed out. Awesome.

yeah, the group outside could wait until they get affected enough and then snoop around, maybe tie them up.

Maybe they'll make us slaves be the servers. For our "training".

Nilah has invisibility as well.

Rolling for boons to get the game reported before the deadline.

GM: 1d20 ⇒ 13
Nilah: 1d20 ⇒ 10
Muddy: 1d20 ⇒ 12
Dimak: 1d20 ⇒ 6
Jaakko: 1d20 ⇒ 15
Goran: 1d20 ⇒ 10
Perrine: 1d20 ⇒ 5

Is there going to be an update soon? This game is kinda dragging.

Hello?
