Quentin's 2-07 Blakros Deception (PFS) (Inactive)

Game Master Quentin Coldwater

Four seats reserved for Atae, Zabu, Aerin, and Emmanuel. I'll pick up two more from Cottonseed.

Please post an introduction in the Gameplay tab. I'll start once I have six introductions.
Also please fill in macro sheets up at the top and the slide sheet so I have your pictures and marching order.

Standard PbP procedure applies: I expect a post per weekday, less in the weekends. I'll bot you if you haven't responded after 24-ish hours.
My tempo tends to be rather fast, so please tell me to slow down if I'm rushing you.

I'll post to Cottonseed for the last two places once everyone has posted in the Gameplay tab, just to make sure no one takes your seat.

Dot. Is tberr anythibg a7th lvl cleric should have? I got a striking tune for my whip and a diplomats badge.

Thanks for setting this up, GM. A few reminders about some of his skill feats:

>Clever Improviser< Manny can attempt Trained only skill checks, even if he's untrained.

>Untrained Improvisation< Manny's Proficiency bonus on Untrained skill checks is half his level. (That's +3)

>Cat Fall< Treat falls as 10 feet shorter.

>Hobnobber< Means Gather Information takes half as long.

I have a GM Glyph, and I'll hand it to the lowest level member.

Slides and Macros should be filled out.
I have 2 GM Glyphs to hand out

I filled in the info, and I also have 1 GM Glyph (also given to the lowest PC at the table).

Thanks for running it GM! I am going with Aerin to provide some more front line for the party, I also have lvl 5 wizard and lvl 5 investigator. But Aerin knows other PC so I shall stick with them

GM, if I am writing a dew posts in order, it is because I am reading them off my phone and responding on computer. Hopefully the vision will improve when I actually get my new glasses perscription.

She will take the scroll of airwalk for her school magical item.

Welcome, Othello!
We're at 17 CP now, so still low tier. Imma close recruitment over on Cottonseed so we don't get a sixth and fall in high tier.

And yeah, everyone, choose your school items now, please.

Manny will hold onto his scroll of restoration.

He will also add the glamered rune to his armor for 140 gp. That way he can run around in style.

Was the website acting up for anyone else yesterday?

Yes. Paizo announced the Open RPG License and everyone came to check, crashing the site. Expect a LOT of newcomers to join the webpage.

That is a good thing.

I cannot tell what the thing in front of me is

DM, I filled out the macros. I double checked, it was on that nice lvely large sheeet. I am player 4 I believe. I aslso think my Iniative is 17 because of an elven ancestry feat,

The thing in front of you is Aerin's token.
Ah, I'm sorry for using the wrong initiative, I was going by what was in your header. It didn't matter in the end, though, so everything's fine.

IFIRC on the case of a tie I win the tie.

How does non lethal damage work with healing?

In 2e, damage is damage. Technically only the last hit matters whether you are dying from lethal or merely unconscious from nonlethal damage. So 1 HP of healing will cure 1 HP of damage, whether it's lethal or nonlethal.

ok

is the caster within 30 ft og me?

Yes, the one who cast Fear is within 30 feet.

The penny dropped a little late for me. I thought you had regular vision problems, but I suddenly realised you might have screen readers or such to read properly, which explains why you don't move your token often and such. If there's anything you need for a smoother game, please say so. I can be more descriptive with enemy placements and such.

For clarity: the caster is heavily damaged and in 30 feet. There are four more opponents, of which three are also within 30 feet. You're missing about 20 HP, Aerin is as well, and Manny is missing nearly 30.

Things are better on my phone in terms of being able to see things because I can make things bigher. Tje dumb reading glasses I jave are either a hit or a miss and slmost details are lost. Inahould be getting a new predcription next week. It jas been reallynfruatrating this entire month.

A short version to zoom in map on your PC (using Windows and Google Presentation) you can zoom in the map by using Shortcut Ctrl Alt + (so press Ctrl button, Alt button and + button). That would increase the zoom on the map.

Below is lengthy and alternative solution, but with sight issue, the above could be better.

=====================================

Just a note (here comes the link): On pc there is a way to make the image bigger - but this is recording in low resolution, which might be thought to see properly. So below written description:

- You open google presentation with the map
- Below the menu with File/Edit/View positions there is a ribbon with icons on it (starts with + sign to add a new slide, followed by a back arrow - undo, forward arrow - redo)
- Around the 5th or 6th control is the magnifier glass (labeled zoom), when you just click it with a left mouse button, you can select a rectangle on the map that will be zoomed to fill your screen.

That should make it better for the map, But it requires selecting a rectangle on the map

Gracias! The larger text is much easier to do! I may have to play with the map because I know sometimes making the map larger in Google Slides makes movement impossible.

Zabu, what totem is youl?

I think Zabu is Animal totem. My sorceress tried to hand him a club once...

I think Zabu is Animal totem. My sorceress tried to hand him a club once...

That makes sense!

DM, I am not sure if you have taken a peek at her captivator spells.

Is anyone trained in Crafting? Take the Crafter's Eyepiece.
Is anyone an expert in Athletics? Take the Emerald Grasshopper.

I don't have either.

Not I said the little red hen.

Is anyone interested in doing more Discovery checks next round? If not, we can just shortcut the rest and resolve the rest of the rounds in one go, which would speed things up greatly. There's a few more skills to figure out, but if you're happy with the skills you have available right now, that's also fine.

Manny can go either way. He will probably default to Diplomacy to influence at this point.

She can try diplomacy but her talents are more in deception.

Aerin is fine with Arcana ;) so he has no need to discovery

What are the chances we'll be done before Outpost?

Asking for a friend...

Atae disnt ask, lol. sorry got a little staph infection in rigjt eye.

I think Outpost starts the sixth of March, right? Well, there's one combat encounter and one smaller influence game with Dhrami (four rounds, instead of six). If necessary I can speed things up a little bit, but I think we can make it in time.

Ouch, get well soon, Atae!

No hurry. I'm enjoying the game. I was just wondering if I should try to find a game for Zabu.

Sounds like a yes, so thank you!

Vision seems to have improved a bit, I am so anxious and ready to get my new prescriptions so I can actually see better.

I got my glasses today AND had an interview!!

Whoot! Here's hoping the first are working well and the second lets you work well.

It was fun to drive again. This new job would be an increase in salary and would be a great opportunity.

Congrats, Atae!

By the way, after this combat is another influence round with Dhrami, but it isn't necessary for the success conditions. We could end the scenario after this if people prefer, but you'd lose out on 2 treasure bundles.

I'm about halfway through the scenario I need to finish to reach level 7. Depending on when we finish, I might have to switch to a pregen.

Is there another scenario we are doing after this?

I'm not in any hurry (there weren't any open games for Zabu in Outpost) so I don't mind doing more influencing.

I don't have plans for Aerin so I am fine playing till the end

Me too!

Is it just me or are there not many PFS scenarios for 7th lvl and up?

That's correct. Paizo offers scenarios in a pyramid-like structure: lots of low-level scenarios, and gradually fewer and fewer higher-level ones. Basically, low-level scenarios get played the most as everyone starts at level 1 and make new characters, so there's lots more demand for them. There's several higher-level scenarios, but the focus is certainly on the mid to low-levels. That said, I believe they said they had plans for more higher-level content eventually, but certainly when PF2 was brand new, there's much more demand/need for low-level scenarios.

Also, to answer your earlier question, we're not doing anything after this. Zabu asked earlier when this game would end because of Outpost and I asked if we needed to hurry up, but that's not necessary.
