Discussion

Looks like we have no spellcasters? Are we good with that?

I don't even have a caster available... My Lvl 4 Investigator has the psychic dedication but that's it.

slides and macros done.

Filled out Slides + Macros.

@GM - Thanks for running this request. Let me know if you want me to run something for in exchange for you!

For the slides, if anyone wants to be in the frontline feel free to move Zenith back or to the side. Zenith can attack from ranged if needed so I don't care where they are in lineup but usually put them in front because of heavy armor.

I'm okay with no casters. Zenith has champ dedication and can lay on hands at least for healing, and I see we have a field medic as well so we should have out of combat healing covered at least.

Also have 4 glyphs to pass out.

Who needs a spell caster when you have bullets?

Scratch is also filled out. He's a big fan of explosions and gunfire.. but he's also sneaky so.. just don't expect him to contribute to CHA based skill checks.

2 glyphs. so we should all start with 2 HP each.

Slides and macros done

Done with Macros and Slides.

I'll be travelling for the next few days, so posting may be sporadic.

As I'm sure you've noticed already, Scratch is not a 'serious' type of Pathfinder agent. He's one of those types you keep around because they get job done, but don't always look good while doing it. He's also very cheap, like his brother. Never let free/unattended food or drink go to waste.

GM how hard was it to prep this one? Looks like a fun one to run.

It hasn't been difficult to prep. Since most of it is skill challenges, a lot of it is keeping track of who has made the skill roll and results. There are just a couple of maps, and you don't need a ton of tokens. I haven't been doing detailed prep very far in advance of where you are in the story.

I would be happy to provide my slides template and Google doc where I have been tracking things if someone else wants to run this.

I'm tempted to run this after Outpost. It does look pretty straightforward...

I am trying to Understand Shandra's AoA versus Cole Farsen? He stepped away, which doesn't normally trigger reactions? Am I missing something?

Interesting. Cole got a Crit Success on his Escape action to move 5 feet away and be out of reach.

Here are the rules for Escape. On a Crit Success, it says you Stride 5 feet. Not Step.

Yes, that's my understanding too. That's the reason I've made an AoO.

Liberating Step is the one that lets someone break free and specifically gives a step instead of stride. Might've been thinking of that.

Relatedly, Zenith will get liberating step after we conclude the 2nd scenario!

That makes sense, and I thought that might be the reason, but just wanted to make sure

DC 16 Circus Lore to Earn Income for Downtime: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27 (Critical Success, 40 sp)

Avery performed some acrobatic stunts with Sophia for some coins in a crowded place near the market and the people loved it!

Kat gives a talk on tactics while fighting the Ninth Army.

Warfare Lore: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Unfortunately, the scent of the pastries Scratch brought keeps distracting her...

Underworld Lore @ Task level 2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

No one seems to notice when a few of the items from the surrendered ruffians go missing.

Underworld Lore @ Task level 3: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Kat will be lvl 4 after the next one...

Scratch offers his services to a local construction crew, applying explosives to an old building and reducing it to rubble. Its amazing they pay me to blow things up... I love this town!

Explosives Lore: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

Task level 3, DC 18 - Shadow Plane lore: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13 Fail -> 0.64gp total (0.08 per day)

Zenith tries to share knowledge of the shadow plane, but hardly finds anyone willing to pay for their expertise

@GM - Thanks for running this one!
@Party - Great job everyone!

Will I get a level bump in the next scenario? Looks like we might end up high tier in the next one.

[dice=Underworld Lore @ Task level 2]1d20+5

No one seems to notice when a few of the items from the surrendered ruffians go missing.

Reminder if the GM is putting dayjob gold that Jaxon is field commissioned. That's a big ol' 6gp!

@Jaxon you need to roll twice for your earned income, once for the first 8 days, and a second one for the 4 others.

Really? I've never done that.

I will be honest that I never really understood the day job rules though.

Underworld lore @ task level 2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

So, is it 4gp + 1.2gp?

Day job/downtime is my nemesis. My brain doesn't choose to remember the rules, and I can never seem to find that dang table.

Will I get a level bump in the next scenario? Looks like we might end up high tier in the next one.

If so I have this mentor boon if you wanted it.

Combat Mentor (Vigilant Seal): While working with less experienced Pathfinder allies, you provide pointers and lead drills that ensure your newer colleagues’ attacks strike true. For any PCs benefiting from a Level Bump and whose levels are lower than yours, you increase the Level Bump’s modifier to attack rolls to 2. Normal: A Level Bump increases a PC’s attack roll modifiers by 1. Special: A PC can only benefit from two mentor boons.

If we are high tier, Kat will get a level Bump and up to two mentor boons can be applied

Feel free to fill out the RPG Chronicles for the next scenario

Jaxon, you have it right. 4 GP for the first eight days and 1.2 GP for the next four.

Avery has Protective Mentor (Radiant Oath) for Kaitlyn.

And since everyone quickly reported their downtime, I went ahead and not only reported the session but also generated the chronicle sheets

Chronicle Sheets

I will still need a few days to prep the next section.

Does the chronicle sheet include the downtime gold or do we add that separately?

It should include it. I added the downtime notes in RPGChronicles. RPGCHronicles used to have a separate section for the downtime notes, but it doesn't seem to be there for this adventure. I'll drop the developer a note

Kat also has a boon from a previous game (Infernal Detonations), which I always forget to slot! :)

I contacted the RPGChronicles developer, and this particular sheet doesn't have a Downtime Notes section. I moved the information for your downtime to the GM notes section and regenerated the chronicle sheets. Please download the new version if you had downloaded the previous version.

Great, thanks GM

Thanks GM, chronicle and reporting looks good!

---------------
@Kat - Zenith also has Protective Mentor. Unfortunately, 4 Rep away from being admired so it would only be 3 additional HP.

----
@Avery - RPG chronicles for 3-16 shows you as lvl 3 instead of 4 :)

@Avery - RPG chronicles for 3-16 shows you as lvl 3 instead of 4 :)

Seconded

It looks like we play the next scenario in the Low end of the Upper Tier. That means Kat gets the level bump, assuming Avery is actually level 4 and not level 3.

Kat, you get a level bump and two mentor boons from the ones available.

Thank you for noticing it, Zenith. Avery is level 4.

Kat will take the Boons from Scratch and Zenith. She will also have Infernal Detonations available.

so do I also increase my hp twice?

Normal Lvl Bump: 10% or 10 whichever is higher. Do I increase it by 10 and the amount from the protective mentor boon?

Just a heads up for GM: I will be on vacation leave for a religious convention from March 2 (Thursday) to 5 (Sunday) [UTC +8], and I might not be able to update during that period because I will not be bringing my laptop and it is hard to make a post in Paizo forums when on mobile, but I will still try to check the game and post when I get the chance, or kindly bot me.

Kat, the way I read it, you would get both HP increases.

oh cool. ok :)

I could take the Rugged Mentor that could give +2 to save to Kat instead of +1 if she prefers.

The things I'm about to explode...
