GM Computerpro82 No Time For Treason & Escape From Oppara (Inactive)

Game Master Eric Parker 82

I'll be away on an icefishing trip Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Please bot me as necessary.

FYI, I will be away tomorrow (Saturday) and Sunday (UTC +8), for a company summer outing (yey!), so I will not be able to post for this game. I might be able to post on Sunday evening when I get home if I am not yet tired, but I can't promise to do that so the sure day I can update for the game is on Monday. Kindly bot me or be delayed when necessary. Thank you.

@GM I think you still have the info for Shandra when she was level 4th. She's 5th now ;)

GM: Just something I noticed, your HP maxes for a few players need to be updated. I think they leveled and/or have level bumps giving them a boost.

Also, I do find it funny to be attempting nonlethal with a fatal weapon. I need to just hand wave that absurdity into the world of fantasy!

Understood. I rushed to get the new initiative up and didn't update some of the data from your character sheets like I should have. If any of you start to get low on HP, you can let me know to change it (Like Shandra did) or I will double check if it matters.

I find this Arc a little frustrating in that the people you can capture in the first scenario do you absolutely no good, but the people you can capture here contribute significantly to Secondary success. The change between the two scenarios drove me to remind you to take prisoners.

Thanks for the reminder.

I think there should almost always be some flexibility/reward in taking prisoners vs just outright killing combatants. It gives some reason to either invest in NL options or a reward for those that already have invested.

That was definitely a frustration for me in the first scenario. "You can captured these people, but they can't tell you anything or help our cause."

I have seen a number of people mention that drawing a weapon can now provoke an AoO. Does anyone have a reference? I don't see it listed under Interact Actions on Archives of Nethys under the Interact Actions, and didn't see a manipulate entry with explicit actions like that.

Did I miss an Errata?

I don't think it's a change, but its not exactly easy to find.

This chart shows that drawing a weapon or item is an interact action. Unfortunately, that doesn't tell you much by itself. But when you look up Interact, you do see it has the manipulate tag.

OK, I can see that now.

Shandra's other strikes kind of made it OBE, as I don't think the AoO would have dropped him, but the second strike Crit definitely did.

I will be unavailable again on Saturday and Sunday. I will try to post when I get the chance since I will be on mobile only on those days. Else, please bot me when necessary.

I have been forgetting that Jaxon's Stumbling Strikes have Backstabber. +1 damage to each hit against a flat-footed opponent!

Paizo went bonkers last night (my time). After getting what looked like my 5th Gateway Time out error, I said 'heck with it" and went to bed! :)

It was down for a few hours here yesterday afternoon.

Avery's on vacation until Sunday. Avery's human mentioned it in the games they're running.

I will be at my parent's for Easter until Monday. My posting will be slower than usual.

DC 16 Circus Lore to Earn Income: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15 Failed, 32 cp

Avery entertains the crowd of Taldor but she is not focused because her mind is still on the mite that had its mouth opened wide and revealed its big eye behind its quartz teeth. It was too gross for her.

Kat gives a talk on the merits of fighting cobbleswarms.

Warfare Lore: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Kat bows gracefully...

Underground Lore (DC16) - First 8 days: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Underground Lore (DC16) - Last 4 days: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

Jaxon tries to smuggle some of the mites to the local thugs, but they just mostly end up biting people. They are able to offload them to a couple more nobles who are convinced pet rocks are a new fad.

Underground Lore - EarnIncome level 4: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24 Succes! -> 5,6gp

Shandra uses her new connections to smugle some goods from Oppara to Absalom.

Explosives Lore, Earn Income and convince Muesello to not be a fool!: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

So that's task level 3, expert so 5s per day: 40 silver.

Had a great time everyone. I do wish I had more combat options for Scratch. Pretty stuck in his ways and very low damage without a crit. I still enjoy him though!

I'll handle downtime on my own. likely going to do some retraining but need to sit down and do some planning.

THANK YOU for running GM. Had a blast. I appreciate you running the arc at my request, and if you want me to return the favor then I'd be happy to do so once I finish my MBA in 2 months. just let me know now or then and we'll make it happen.

Wow. Good luck Redeux!

Report submitted to Outpost VI HQ for reporting. Chronicle sheets mailed to those who submitted email addresses, and also uploaded below for everyone to download

Chronicle Sheets

Once again, this was a great group to GM for, and I hope to play with all of you again.

Chronicle looks good. Thanks GM!

Chronicle looks good. Thank you so much for running the games, GM.

Great Thanks GM for a great job GMing these two scenarii back to back.

Chronicle looks good, but you forgot to cross the decision we took for VC Muesello (coil or black powder) - nothing major as we can do it ourselve ;)

Hope to play with you all again!

Chronicle is good. Thanks for the great pair of games, GM!

Actually looked at the first scenario. Looks like a straightforward setup. I'll prep 03-11 when I get the chance...

Everyone, don't overlook that we got access to "Musello's Magnificent Message Mark" boon:

A wayfinder inscribed with Muesello’s Magnificent Message Mark gains the following activation.

Activate [one-action] command; Frequency once per day; Effect The wayfinder casts message

Chronicle looks good. Thanks for the great game everyone!

According to RPGChronicles, the session has been reported. I can also see it on my sessions tab on the Paizo website.

I am putting new versions on the chronicle sheets in the folder with the correct box checked, in case anyone wants them.

Since it seems like all the administrative issues have been dealt with, I think my work here is done, other than marking the thread as inactive in a couple of days.

Good gaming to all of you.

btw, GM, how many more before you get your 5th glyph? :)

About 30, once the other table I am running for Outpost VI finishes and the table on VTT I am running Saturday is reported.

I need to get with my RVC, since he has been bugging me about getting my VO evaluations done. I need to get that scheduled.

Ask Bigrin to evaluate you... or one of the other VCs... :)

My RVC is here in town and wants me to set up a game for him and a couple of the other VCs in the region. Since he has been hounding me, I will try that first.

How many evals do you need?

I believe it is three

I remember for PF1, I was at 200+ scenarii gmed when I was able to be evaluated by one VC to get my 5th star :D
(the difficulty to play at the time in Europe with not so many conventions).
But it was great as I was Vanessa Hoskins who evaluated me on one of her scenario :)

Oddly enough, I have had a couple of European Venture Officers at my VTT Tables. I tend to run early in the day Colorado time, which starts the sessions early evening in central Europe. I had thought about asking them as well, but I haven't had on at the table since I hit 100 Sessions.

We'll wee what my early sessions at Paizocon get me. At the first PaizoCon online, I ran a quest for three VCs and a Campaign Coin holder.

Congrats on being so close! I'm roughly in same spot. ~130 tables and 1 review left. Though going a bit slow atm with classes.

But you've run games in my lodge before (cayden's keg), and european time tends to work well for me. If you're still needing a review after June 4th let me know. I'm able to do reviews for online VTT games.

Also completely unrelated but Zenith has leveled up to level 6. didn't quite get liberating step in time to help Shandra being grabbed!
