The link doesn't work for me... Says "page not found".

The link in this post has been working for me.

The difference is miniscule; I wish I understood Google's coding to better get at what that difference means and why it makes a difference.

Damn, now I'm not getting it.

If you go to the post, and click the link, it works. If you copy-paste the link text into your browser, it doesn't. I have no clue why, but I bet that's the original problem with your slide deck as well.

Still there too!

Thank you very much Ahmande! It's indeed working when I click on the link. I've written in my character infos, but I can't insert images.

Thanks all! I somehow missed the slide link and I'm set to go now! :D

The next room seems identical to the last, and equally uninteresting.

Your ability to avoid all the encounters is almost impressive, yet we only have a month left, so please keep exploring.

@ GM - Having not played this scenario before, the following proposal may not make sense or be workable. However, would it speed things along if the remaining rooms were given numbers and the players collectively came up with an "order of exploration" so that the GM could readily move us from one encounter to the next?

It does not always work well, but I have found it be very effective for PbP in some scenarios.

Maybe I'm the only one who's had trouble following what happened during the fight, but I thought the whole fire spell was a bit confusing, GM. I think it's because the damage was hidden in a spoiler, so it felt like it wasn't intended for the players to see.

It would perhaps make things clearer and less ambiguous if damages were announced outside of spoilers next time? (As in: "24 Damages to [X Characters]; Reflex DC 16 to only take half)

It would save a lot of confusion! :) (for me, at least)

Sorry, I'll adapt.

I've been told going over time is no big deal.

I don't know if I'm spoiling too much so don't click this if you don't want a spoiler, but:

Oh hey; I forgot about boons!

Everyone can roll a d20; if you roll 19-20, roll a d3 to determine what boon you win, and PM me your email address so that Paizo can deliver the boon to you!

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

GM Boon roll: 1d20 ⇒ 5

boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 14

To boon or not to boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 8

Boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 7

Boon: 1d20 ⇒ 17

I'm heading out in the morning (Friday) for a weekend trip; I likely won't post again until Monday. Feel free to bot me as you need!

What is the plan with the paralyzed orc. You could coup de gras him, but he will get one save first.

If that's a bit cold-blooded for you, you can probably succeed on a grapple against him on anything but a 1. It takes two rounds to pin, three to tie up. He'll get a save at each stage.

Since you were all interacting with the orc, I've assumed you dragged him back into the room.

Feel free to ask as many questions as you want to at once.

Order: Table, Pond, skeletons, body, Prisoners? That's my vote since we started looking at the table with detect magic.

Works for me.

Sorry, I've has a lot of work for the past two days and couldn't get a post in. Will do so tomorrow.

I have moved everyone to near the pond, feel free to rearrange or move forward. Farinzel will need line of sight to examine the magic aura.

Since I seriously doubt this fight will go on much longer, may I suggest dealing with the mystery body before the skeletons?

Sorry for the delay, I have been... less than healthy. I will do a lengthy update, soon.

Congratulations. You have completed the primary success condition. The current checks will determine the secondary.

I've checked the scenario. There is no loss to reward if you do not fight the Skeletal Champions. Shall we just skip it?

So there's only the Survival check we couldn't beat?

It was Knowledge (engineering) or Survival; we only need a good result on one of them. Your 21 with Ahmande's aid is 23; which is good! (I don't think you can use aid another on Knowledge untrained unless you're in a library, so the other aids probably don't count. Still, 23 is good result.)

Sorry! Didn't catch that somehow.

I'm going to assume we're skipping the skeletons and wrap up later tonight, unless someone objects, soon.

Congratualtions! You have succeeded fully.

2PP, IT 1,300 gp, OOT 2,265 gp

CS BOON #1 - Righteous Redemption: Thanks to your work bringing a lost hero’s legacy to light, key leaders in the crusader nation of Lastwall have begun seeing Pathfinders less as ruffians and more as potential allies. Between adventures or while in Lastwall, you can check the box that precedes this boon to requisition one of the following: a satchel containing six flasks of holy water and an oil of bless weapon; two scrolls of lesser restoration; a combat-trained warhorse (heavy or light) with a military saddle, bit, bridle, and week of feed; a masterwork longsword; or a masterwork lance. This gear is yours to do with as you please, but it has an effective resale value of 0 gp.
-one use

CS BOON #2 - Worthy Foe: Lastwall is the Inner Sea’s bulwark against countless evils, and you have proven yourself against a local villain. As a swift action, you can check a box that precedes this boon to gain one of two benefits against enemies that correspond to the threat you defeated. First, you can choose to gain a +2 bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls against such creatures, as well as a +2 dodge bonus to AC against such creatures’ attacks. Alternatively, you can gain a +2 bonus on caster level checks to overcome those creatures’ spell resistance, increase the save DC of your spells and abilities against those creatures by 1, and gain a +2 bonus on saving throws against those creatures’ spells and abilities. Either benefit lasts until the beginning of your next turn.

Tusks: You gain the benefits above against magical beasts and humanoids with the orc subtype.

-three uses

Any day job rolls, faction journal requests or anything else you need on your chronicle sheets, please post below.

Profession (soldier): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Thanks for GMing, DavidC! Do you need an email address to send the Chronicles?

Craft, Calligraphy : 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

So 2 PP

How many Xps, 3?

1300 GP in tier (3-4), 2265 out of tier (Ahmande?)

No magic items to buy?

Just 1 XP, it's a standard scenario.

The items on the CS are complicated, as they change a lot based on what version you play. I'm trying to find a prepared version to make it easier on myself. I'll get the sheets out in the near future, and yes, emails would help.

Thanks so much!

torilgrey@gmail

There are a few nice items you can buy on this version of the chronicle sheet.

Don't worry about all the crossed out stuff, you did nothing wrong, loot just varies based on the variable of the scenario.

Markus and Bobbie's chronicle sheets have been e-mailed.

If the rest of you could pm me a method of sending it, that would be great.

I want to thank everyone for putting up with my fumbling GMing on the forums. Truth be told, this was my very first time; I just didn't want to say that so I didn't scare everyone off.

I still think everyone should get a Roll20 account and learn the very basics; because I feel using it as a map board is far superior to the slide system.

I hope you all had fun.

I've decided to try running another one, also core. Scenario 2-13: Murder on the Throaty Mermaid. I'll have a recruitment post up soon, but if you would like to sign up in advance, you can reply here.

I sent you a PM with my email. Thanks for running the game!

I have an account and have used it in the past. I think it's not compatible with various privacy-based browser extensions that I use, however, so when I fire it up now, I can't interact with it.

Thanks again! This was great :D

PM send with mail, thanks for the game

@ GM - PM with email sent. Thanks for running!

@All - I look forward to sharing a table with each of you in the future.

Everyone's got to start somewhere, and you managed to keep the game interesting without letting it slow down. I've had a good time!
