PFS1 7-02 Slides also linked at the top. Please add your token and establish marching order on slide 2, also provide any relevant information for the rest of the party or myself.

Feel free to read the blurb on slide 1 and make any introductions as you gather.

It looks like the slides are currently restricted?

I believe I had the problem you experienced, Cade.

I tried logging into my Google account and then accessing the slides, and it worked!

⛔

I wonder if this is a new Google security measure?

He probably just opened up permissions to us with our email addresses. I just have to guess which email addy I used now :)

Up until now I thought access was to those with the link, but since we’re a regular group now it makes sense to tighten up security a bit more.

Sorry, wrong link added in post. The link at the top is correct.

this one should work

I think I have everything filled in. I didn't have any issues with the slides.

OK. I see four of you dotted in and three on rpgchronicles. Are we waiting for anyone else?

I am ready to go, GM Numbat!

Do you want me to poke Noral and Hawthwile?

Do you want me to poke Noral and Hawthwile?

You say this, but I don't see you signed in on rpgchronicles.

I now see six checked in here but only four on rpgchronicles. Also only four tokens on slide 2.

I will try to post the game opening before I head out on the road today. The next 48 hours I will have spotty access to internet but will try to check in and post once or twice a day.

Thanks for your patience! Included everything now.

Hawthwile just needs to include his details in RPG chronicles.

I had to go back and review which scenarios Cade played to see if he's been in the River Kingdoms before. In doing so, I noted that Yours is mined ran the Sky Key Solution for him :)

...

And apparently some other faces were there as I dig deeper :P

I remember having fun during that game :)

Sorry for the prolonged absence and the wall of text.

Still need an rpgchronicles sign in from Dhovahk.

I'm only seeing four characters regularly posting. I don't want to leave anyone behind so will take it slow if needed.

I will post in just a bit to further the conversation and keep some movement.

Hi GM Numbat,

I would like to use the Nira’s Grattitude boon below on the Knowledge (nature) check, please, together with my Faction Pin.

I would then like to use one each of the following boons on two of Chunhua’s heal checks, working in parallel with Dhovahk, on the rolls Dhovahk was weakest in, if you’ll allow it.

Can someone please bot Cade as needed? I will be traveling and should be back next week.

Note for the GM: I will record my alchemical purchases (140gp) on my Inventory Tracking Sheet, GM Numbat.

Chunhua will also hide her club under a convenient bush, to ensure her encumbrance remains in the 'light load' category.

I'm currently at a fairly remote site. Should still be able to check in daily :)

Hello Peeps,

Can you please check my message in the Discord channel :)

Hello Peeps,

Can you please check my message in the Discord channel :)

Checked and replied :)

So 10 + 2 damage total for the round?

Yes.

A couple of questions about the Attack on Lu Yan. I will apologize in advance for not stating it, but I think I would have used my Wand of Mage Armor right before the clock struck, expecting trouble. I'll understand if you disallow based on the fact I didn't say it.

Also, what ancestry does this enemy have a favored enemy bonus against? I ask, ask while Lu Yan is Half Elf, he has a strange SU ability that means he counts as a Dragon instead of a Human for favored enemy bonuses.

Yeah, I intentionally allowed time in the lead up to THE EVENT for PCs to say if they were buffing. So as you rightly say, I am going to disallow the mage armor.

The FE bonus is against humans.

If Lu Yan’s ‘half-ness’ is effectively Dragon instead of human, then the FE bonuses don’t count and I’ll make the necessary adjustments.

Idea: he tries anyway but each square of movement there is a 50% chance it goes towards the goal or else veers off to the left or right? I understand if this isn't agreeable. My feeling is that he would attempt the make the most of what's left of flaming sphere while figuring out how to un-blind himself.

He can also desperately try the ray of frost this round, and I'll roll the 50% for that attack roll (and he probably can't "move on" to the next foe if the original is down).

Hmm. Because you did have sight of the battlefield just before you went blind, I’ll allow your ideas for Round #2 only.

The battlefield changes too frequently for this to work on subsequent rounds.

Ferdrin does get another Will save to shake off the blindness at the end of his next turn.

Ty. Let's see how this goes.

@Party - In principal, Cade will do his best to put himself between the softies and baddies, but as we all know, there is no MMORPG tanking to stop them from going around. I think Cade will keep hitting green for now while trying to body block as best as possible.

On a hypothetical note, can you bull rush an opponent into an aqueous orb?

Yes, but a saving throw would probably apply.

Cade, you can move through grease at half speed with a DC 10 Acrobatics check. This implies you cannot 5’ step in grease.

As such, your movement provokes an AoO from Purple.

If you have a FAQ to contradict this, please let me know.

I couldn't find anything official - just lengthy discussions. Cade will just eat the AoO then.

FYI: After tonight I'll be away in nature all day tomorrow, but then back Sunday mid-afternoon'ish.

So... Is Dhovahk's spell slot consumed since he started casting? Or can he stop the casting in time to preserve it?

You can keep the spell, Dhovahk.

Average wand healing out of combat? Or roll each charge? I forget

I'm good either way.

Does anyone mind if Cade downs one of the found potions?

I don't mind ;)

Is anyone going to try the door?

Is this bag flying or is it moving Oogie Boogie style?

This sack has its feet(?) on the floor!

@Lu Yan, I'm reading from Resisting Grappler that the AoO is triggered when YOU (the person with the feat) are the target of the grapple.

Correct?

Hi GM, I would step into the door that Eltran is in now and I did not now that I can decide where to come out. I indicated the arrows.

aghhh sorry

Kein Problem mein Freund. ;)

While doing the prep work, I read that PCs (and GMs) got confused about these portals when playing face-to-face!

Ich wusste nicht, dass Du Deutsch sprichst!?! :-D

@Lu Yan, I'm reading from Resisting Grappler that the AoO is triggered when YOU (the person with the feat) are the target of the grapple.

Correct?

Correct

That's because I don't.

But I do speak Google Translate ;)

Ha ha. :-)

Thanks for sharing!

Does the angle of the arrows on the map make any difference? As in, does it represent a change of direction that occurs through the portals?

Nope. Purely which Portal something went in, and the portal it came out of.

This is Fair Warning, people. I am moving us forwards in 12 hours or so.

I just need some others to decide to come upstairs with Ferdrin :D It's probably bad if the squishy mage goes alone.

@Ferdrin, White’s SR defeated the flaming sphere on a previous round.

My understanding is that means it is immune to “that casting of the spell,” and so is immune to the flaming sphere currently in play on the battlefield.

If say, you cast a new flaming sphere on White, it would then be subject to another SR check.

Chat about SR on the Paizo Forums seems to support this view, but if you have a FAQ, I’ll take a look at it.

I don't have a faq, just this discussion.

The spell resistance definitely "keeps working" against an existing sphere, but I don't see where it says that means a prior roll is kept. That's just my intuition and that post which is all I've got. If it doesn't work, then he moves it to the other nearby gremlin with his move action and we can re-use the damage rolls.
