Gameday XI - GM Valen's Pathfinder Society Scenario #0-17: Perils of the Pirate Pact (CORE) (Inactive)

Game Master Lysle

A thread for out-of-character discussion.

I'll buy two each: Air crystals, Antiplague and Antitoxin

Unfortunately, only the antitoxin is CORE - but I might be mistaken...

I forgot about this. Surely you are right )) Thanks!

So 2 antitoxins )

Purchases:

- wand of Gravity Bow (2 PP)
- 1x arrows (20) (1 gold)
- 1x antitoxin (50 gold)

Total: 2 PP and 51 gold

Edited to remove the non-Core wand

Gravity bow isn't Core either lol. Unless you have a full wand of it on a Chronicle, but most of my Chronicle wands are pre-owned.

Thanks, I missed that!

Friends, I need help with slides. In short, Google Slides are working very poorly in my region right now, they almost don't open. I will try to solve this through VPN, but for this I need to sort out the work a little.

In short, please put my token somewhere in the middle of the line.

@Ashtoret: Hopefully, you can solve this issue soon!
I took the liberty to place your token a few times on the marching order slide and once on slide with the ship (right in the middle).

Merida, thank you very much!

Spells that Ashtoret prepared:

1 Color Spray, Color Spray, Color Spray, Ray of Enfeeblement
2 Blindness/Deafness, Blindness/Deafness, Blindness/Deafness

I am travelling today, but should be able to post tomorrow :)

I will be traveling over the next four days and may only have limited or no access to post.

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.

Take care of yourself and I hope you feel better. Post when you are able.

Thanks, I am back home and fairly rested. Able to get on and post at least haha.

We are rapidly approaching the end of our adventure together. To help get your chronicle sheets to you more quickly, please fill out the information in this link for RPG Chronicles.

Also, I will be traveling over the next two weekends (with a bit of a much needed vacation in between). I do not expect to be posting in this game over the weekends and to have more limited posting during the week. Nevertheless, I am confident that we will complete the scenario well in advance of the end of Gameday.

Indeed, based upon this table's posting history, I think a pre-Halloween end date to be likely.

Just a heads up:
I have to check my Faction Goals at home, but it's possible Merida will try to recruit Zukka to the Scarab Sages.

I have to say, winning initiative is fun! :-D
(At least with an archer - I can imagine, it's also nice with a wizard or sorcerer.)

Flat-footed enemies where lower than average rolls still hit... I love it!

Thanks for the updated combat status, @GM Valen!

When the opportunity arises (so probably back at the lodge), Korgaar will copy the following spells from Ashtoret (assuming she is still agreeable):

Level 1: cause fear, chill touch, endure elements, mage armour, magic missile, shield, silent image, ray of enfeeblement

Level 2: blindness/deafness, command undead

This will cost him a total of 160gp in wizardy ink. (He can't fail the spellcraft checks if he takes 10)

Ashtoret is of course free to copy any of Korgaar's spells too.

If we gain 2 Prestige on this adventure, Korgaar completes a faction card goal (3 consecutive missions in which he completes the primary and secondary success conditions).

With great pleasure!

Korgaar, could you please remind me how much it costs? Per spell per level. The last time I recorded spells to the wizard spellbook was four years ago )))

No problem.

The formula is:

10gp X (spell level squared)

A wizard (or other character with a spellbook) in PFS can always pay 1.5 times this cost to obtain a spell from an NPC and copy it into their book.

See p.219 Core Rulebook.

Done. Sorry for doing it late.

Thank you all again for a fun run! You can find your chronicles here.

Please let me know of any corrections/revisions that I need to make. Once I have confirmation of receipt of chronicles from everyone or after one week from now (whichever is first), I will mark this campaign inactive.

Thank you all again for having me host your colorful band of Pathfinders. I hope it was obvious that I enjoyed playing off your characters. I look forward to sharing a table with each of you in the future!

Thanks a lot to everyone for playing! GM, that was great!

Krogar, thanks for the hint and the link .)

Got mine, thanks everyone! Had a great time!

Looks great, thanks for the game!

Chronicle looks good. Thanks for running, GM Valen!

I had a great time, everyone! Looking forward to "sitting" at a table with you! :-D

Good game everyone! Chronicle is good, thanks GM.

Always good to meet another wizard, Ashtoret :)

Apologies, all. I forgot to handle boons:

Have your players roll a D20, if a player is unavailable you may roll for them. Remember to roll for yourself at the same time. A 19 or 20 wins a player boon. If you or a player win, do another roll for each winner. (You will need to collect the winners email address to send the boon to them.)

Roll a d3 to determine which boon you or the player has won. The boons are listed out on the reporting tool as Player Boon 1, Player Boon 2, and Player Boons 3.

Player Boon #1: Season Explorer 4-5
Player Boon #2: Aeon Investigator
Player Boon #3: Season Explorer 8-9

Boon, Dreki: 1d20 ⇒ 3

Congrats, Brazia's Lilac!
Player Boon #?: 1d3 ⇒ 1

@Brazia's Lilac - If you wish to receive the boon, please PM me your email address. If you wish to decline, please let me know and I will report the game.

@Brazia's Lilac - Please confirm that character #89635-17 is not registered on Paizo or provide a corrected character # for Brazia's Lilac. When I reported the game, I received a message that the character number is incorrect has not been registered on the site.

That’s… very strange. For some reason my -17 is skipped entirely, and Lilac is registered as -18, but I don’t remember ever deleting one. So apparently this character is 89635-18. Sorry about that!

Corrected chronicle with "18" can now be found here.

Thanks again all!

Mine looks good. Thank you.

This is the recruitment thread for a CORE run of Pathfinder Society Scenario: #0-17 Perils of the Pirate Pact. This adventure will be run as part of the Play by Post convention, Gameday XI, which runs between September 11, 2022 and November, 2022.

This scenario is designed for 1st to 7th level characters. This table is open only to CORE PCs.

Seating: Seats at the table will be assigned on a first-post, first-seated basis.

Start Date: September 12, 2022

Game Expectations:
I ask for a posting rate of a minimum of once per day during the business week and at least once over the weekend, though I realize (and expect) that real life can get in the way of fun at times and that not all players will be able to meet that pace. I expect folks to occasionally be unavailable for a period of time. If I know that I will be unavailable for some reason for more than 24 hours (or 48 over a weekend), I will post such. I request and expect all players to do the same.

For instance, I will be attending a family wedding and I do not anticipate posting between September 22 and September 25.

I reserve the right to bot players who do not post anything within a 24 hour period and will request each player have botting instructions in place before the end of the first briefing.

If this game sounds like something you'd be interested in, go ahead and post the requested information below.

Merida is a very chipper young woman who is easily excited and sometimes a bit naive.
But you do not want to incur her wrath... unless you want to become the target of her - more or less ;-) - well-aimed arrows...

Merida is better than the average fighter at observing and also not afraid to use magic items (Perception and UMD are both class skills), she also owns a few wands.
She knows a bit about Dungeoneering and Engineering, and has received some basic training about how to Handle Animals, too.
Oh, and she speaks Draconic and Elven.

Looks like we have room for one more.

1) Character name: Korgaar
2) PFS#-Character#: 75577-19
3) Character Class & Level: Barbarian 1 / Wizard 1
4) Faction: Grand Lodge
5) Day Job (with roll): craft (stonemason): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
6) Any other downtime activities: don't think so, will check card
7) Fast or slow track: Fast
8) Have you played or GM'd this scenario before? Played it in Standard mode about 8 years ago ;)
9) Anything unusual or fun about your PC that you think the GM or other players may like to know? Korgaar could't complete his wizard's apprenticeship when his erstwhile master disappeared. That made him angry. Very ANGRY. Fortunately his axe-work was good enough to earn him a place in the Pathfinder Society where, after proving himself in several missions, he has finally obtained his own spellbook. Haven't played him at level 2 yet so I may tweak the character sheet a bit, but he'll definitely be Barbarian 1 / Wizard 1.

We have six players.
