Quickblade has incredible initiative (+2 to init) and Scout's Warning (+1 to everyone's initiative).

Just for full disclosure -- I have run this scenario more than once.

Also - Quickblade is human. I just liked the bird avatar when I created my character. I don't have a beak! :)

Drat, I missed the last two questions:

Weird Stuff the GM should know: Incredible Initiative. And he's an Inventor, if that counts as weird? Overdrive is combat mode like Rage, but he has to make a Crafting check against a standard DC of his own level to activate it. He has resistance 1 to fire and cold that increase to 3 in Overdrive. He has Unstable actions, which are a bit like unpredictable Focus Spells. After using one, he has to make a DC 17 flat check. On a failure his armor innovation is overtaxed and can't be used for Unstable actions until he spends 10 minutes fixing it. He has two: Explode (AoE damage) and Searing Restoration (Healing)
Season 3 scenarios this character has played: 3-99: Expedition into Pallid Peril

Also, the link at the top to the Macros goes to the Slides instead. The link in your post is correct, though.

Macros and Slides done. 2 Glyphs to share.

Thank you all!

just letting you know I'm still here :) Poking the other two in the thread who expressed interest in this to get them over here, hoping to start soon!

Marjim is not eligible. 03-06 is not repeatable and he played it at my table.

Hello! Thanks for holding a spot for me! :)

Downtime: Undead Lore Level 1, DC 15: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 Failure, so 0.16gp.

Weird Stuff the GM should know: I have a once per adventure reaction from a previous scenario.

Hey, thanks for holding a spot for me as well. I will need to use a pregen as I do not have a character in level range. Looks like we could use a caster of some sort. Gaz is level 7 so I am assuming I cannot use him in this scenario, so I will get a caster pre gen and post my info later today.

Season 3 scenarios this character has played: None

Welcome Erryn and 'Ezran' :)

As this scenario starts off with a (literal) bang, please pick up any of your school consumables now.

Also, I see Quickblade has two glyphs. Does anyone else have any 2e GMing glyphs as we begin?

No glyphs here. I'll stack some healing as school itesm.

1-Liam 2-Khaul 3-Erryn 4-Ezran: 2d4 ⇒ (2, 1) = 3
Liam and Khaul -- have a hero point!

No Glyphs--yet. And I'll also stick with healing potion.

Liam is almost always last in a fight.
I played him in a special at a con where I rolled a natural 1 on every Initiative check. Using a variety of dice, which otherwise were not rolling 1s especially often. Every single Initiative roll.

Perhaps he should retrain Incredible Initiative. It never helps.

You actually rolled fine, just everyone else rolled fine-er this time :p

(and only second-last; I forgot to put Ezran on at the rear in my last post, having rolled a 3)

Lesser Healing Potion as school consumable.

Scroll of dispel magic for me, thanks!

And at the word 'varmin', I'm starting to see Khaul as Yosemite Sam with an axe! :)

Warhammer... It's definitely a hammer he uses.

Now I have to look up Yosemite Sam.

Lesser Healing Potion as school consumable.

same

I'll be away for the weekend. Please bot me as required.

at least Liam is honest... "This might sting..."

kinda reminds me of the doctor/dentist's office... "this won't hurt a bit..." followed by STAB...

Apologies, everyone. Got really sick over the weekend (still am) and it was pretty hard to muster the energy to do much but sleep.

Hey, it happens. Hope you're feeling better!

Also, as you all have been adventuring for a bit, we should probably toss out a few more Hero Points. I'm going to give one to Quickblade for he...well quick blades in cutting down the first set of intruders, and a second to Liam for really keeping trying to sway the fetchlings...even if despite the inventor's best efforts he is consistently bad at it today.

Apologies, everyone. Got really sick over the weekend (still am) and it was pretty hard to muster the energy to do much but sleep.

Get well soon. We'll still be here when you get well :)

Hey folks, sorry I could not post yesterday. RL and all that. Back on track now and thanks for the bot assist.

Thanks for the bot, sorry I let the weekend get away from me.

Khaul - how is your shield 12 hardness? On your sheet it seems to be a normal steel shield, which even with the Shield ally feature would only have a hardness of 7 (5 normal, +2 from shield ally)

Sorry, My sheet must be out of date with my equipment list (which I keep separately in a tracking sheet).

Khaul has a sturdy shield. I'll fix it up. I had it correct in the character header.

Edit: But it looks like I have my AC wrong, I seem to be double counting my shield bonus to armour, so I'll fix that.

All right, but even then a minor sturdy shield has hardness 8, so w/ Shield Ally would still be a total Hardness of 10.

(And a lesser sturdy shield isn't possible for you to have yet, being a level 7 item - even if on a chronicle that only allows access to something up to two levels higher)

I thought it went up 50%. But checking... you are right, it is the hp and break threshold that goes up 50%, harness only by two. I'll fix that in my header too. And you are right it is minor not lesser sturdy shield.

So many errors. So embarrsing.

And with that (rather anticlimatic final battle) you have all successfully endured as the Grand Lodge was Struck by Shadows!

Chronicles for all of you are up HERE

Also feel free to continue to post IC and follow up with Toldrar of any lingering questions or thoughts; not meaning to rush, just after tomorrow I will be away from my PC for several days so getting the chronicles out and done while I can :)

Thank you for running this, Zoomba! I had a lot of fun with it.

Great run! Thanks Zoomba for running and to all my fellow agents for some great Rp along the way. My first game in quite a while and had a blast!

Alos if it is not to much trouble, please change by PFS character number from 2004 to 2002 on the chronicle and report. Sorry if I accidently said 2004, looking to have sheet applied to 2002.

Chronicle looks good! Thanks for running this! Now we switch sides for Outpost! :)

Can do. About to get on a plane, butll change the chronicle details this weekend and will make sure to Report to 2004 (also likely this weekend - always give a few days for that for this sort of exact reason :)

Thanks Zoomba!

Session reported. Will leave open for another day (so lemme know if any issues remaining) and then will set this inactive!
