GM Computerpro82 3-03: Echoes of Desperation (Inactive)

Game Master Eric Parker 82

Folks, my recovery from pneumonia took longer than I thought it would. Turns out I’m still alive. I’m still fairly weak but I’m going to get to this game today. Sorry it took so long.

GM, I know I missed nearly the whole game. I apologize. I don’t expect credit.

Hi Rannarix,
I am glad you are feeling better. You have really only missed one turn of this last combat, so I will definitely be giving you credit.

I hope you continue to recover.

Wow, those were some serious reflex saves!

Zazu, shouldn't your spell DC be 21 at level 5? Not that it would have changed anything there.

Yeah it should. I doubled checked it after seeing saves. I noted it, and saw that it would not have changed anything. +16 modifier is crazy, better to avoid spells that require reflex saves ;)

Bullets. Bullets don't require reflex saves.

So are Magic missiles as well

For those of you contemplating running this in the future, these are the Bilokos for the 5-6 subtier, and the CP adjustments made three of the four elite, so +2 to most stats.

It helped that I rolled really well.

So, when Rannarix took the blow that dropped him by 30 hp, how did his companion Mr. Snappers get hurt by that?

The Biloko used a two action Swipe, which allowed him to roll once and use the attack and damage number against two adjacent enemies.

Swipe [two-actions] The veteran makes a melee Strike and compares the attack roll result to the AC of up to two foes, each of whom must be within their melee reach and adjacent to each other. Roll damage only once and apply it to each creature hit. A Swipe counts as two attacks for the biloko veteran’s multiple attack penalty.

Crossbow bolts also don't require saves -- assuming Quickblade can actually point the crossbow in the right direction!! :)

Scratch works on tanning some exotic leather to hopefully resell on his return to Absalom.

Tanning Lore: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Crafting, seasoned, Expert: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26

To cook a meal with mushroom. Delicious.

Rhaegal shares more than you ever want to know about how dragons do things.

Dragon Lore, expert: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

Quickblade gives a talk about scouting and warfare. He emphasizes the use of mushrooms in combat.

Scouting Lore: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

The talk appears to have resonated well. Of course, the scents of mushrooms wafting from the cookfire seem to have enhanced it!

Lore fortune telling: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13
Failure => 8cp x 8 = 0.64 gp

It seems that the fate is the same for the whole village, and no one wishes to hear the same thing

Thanks. Both very cool and totally sucks! :-)

I just about had a heart attack when I saw the Swipe was a natural 20.

I can imagine it is a cool ability to have, but it can certainly be bad to be on the receiving end.

not as bad as the heart attack I got when I ran Bounty 20. Three - count'em THREE natural 20's in the same round.

B20 attack

If it wasn't for a champion's reaction it would have been instant Dying 2...

No worries, after every swipe with a nat 20 there is some Zazu with potion of healing ;)

Melee wizard!

That was fun! It was the first time Rhaegal's gone full melee. If I had known they wouldn't try to get past us, the shark would definitely have been the form to choose. Luckily the wild shape bonuses are some of the best they'll ever be at this level. Very nice teamwork, everyone!

I have swipe on my fighter. I'm really thinking of retraining their weapon specialization into axes to take advantage of that sweep bonus.

My barbarian has a Dwarven war axe and Swipe. It's sometimes funny.

I went ahead and produced the chronicle sheets and uploaded them here

Let me know if there are any corrections needed.

Chronicle looks good. Thanks GM!

Ugh, sorry to say that but I provided wrong PFS number, Zazu is 2008 and not 2003. I changed the data in RPGChronicles, if you could regenerate my chronicle that would be great.

Sorry for causing mayhem! ;)

Euh I haven’t got it.

Check the link in the GM's post above, Vilmur.

Chronicle sheet looks good. Thanks for the fun game, GM!

New version of Zazu's Chronicle posted, and I emailed a copy of Vilmur's as well.

Chronicle looks good! If you could also alter the reporting so that the game shows under my 2008 PC and not under my 2003 PC ;) That would be grand!

Zazu, Thanks for the reminder. The reporting should be correct now.

Thank you very much. When I read your post this morning I was still sleeping and I haven’t noticed I simply had to click to get it. Sorry and thank you again

Looks good on my end GM. Thank you.

And thank you to all for the entertaining and successful game!

Now to level Scratch into the unknown that is level 5...

Zazu, Thanks for the reminder. The reporting should be correct now.

Yeah, now everything looks great!

OK, I'll plan to mark the thread inactive in a day or so, just to give folks time to do whatever.
