GM Qstor PFS #0-28 Lyrics of Extinction FULL (Inactive)

Game Master Qstor

"I'm sure he wouldn't make us do something like that... not more than once, anyway."

The inner cathedral is a large chamber lit by brightly glowing
torches lining the walls. A long rug leads up to a treasure chest
sitting against the back wall. Above the chest stands a defaced
statue of a tall Mwangi man carrying a staff. Eight altars form
a circle at the back of the room.

A sick thin man stands next to a statue.

A song of music plays from a music box.

Where's the music box? Is it on that stretched-out 'O'?

How do we go over the pews/benches? Acrobatics check, difficult terrain, climb check, some combination of those?

I'm going to wait to post Granny's turn until our ranged guys get to go. And possibly after Inga hastes everyone, if that's what she does. I've got a couple possible actions

Does Inga get a chance to hit Klaus with some buffs before going in? We were warned by the elves that there was trouble through that door. Just shield & magic fang.

i was gonna ask same question...

Re-reading the room description, I'm not sure how it matches with the map.

The big circle in the center of the room... is that a rug, or the "circle of altars" mentioned?

Is the music box in that circle, or up by the caster, or somewhere else? That definitely affects Granny's actions.

I'll let you buff. Sorry should have assumed that.

The big circle in the center is a mosaic.

The music box is near the altar and the big circle is a statute.

Is the altar the purple bit at the foot of the statue? On the dias by the caster?

Those circles on the map sure look like they're drawn in blood. Granny's not about to play that game again if she can help it.

EDIT: Also, just realized I'm still making some assumptions. What kind of music box is it? Is it of the "open the lid and it plays" variety, or does it have a slowly-turning wind-up key, or is it something more exotic?

@Qstor: If you could put an "M" where the music box is, it'd be greatly appreciated. Does it have a lid that's currently open?

I'm considering closing the lid. Probably not that easy or what we're supposed to do, but, might as well give it a try. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Will there be an update soon?

Will there be an update soon?

Sorry was swamped at work.

I hope you had fun. I think it wasn't much of a challenge.

If you have any tips on me running stuff let me know.

I had fun! Thank you!

Maybe you should have given the bad guy at the end another 50 to 100 hit points. I know it's not allowed, but, I don't think any of us would've complained.

LOL an extra 100 would have been good! He only had an AC of 18.

Yeah, even with just a Season 0 archer that wouldn't have lasted all that long.

Was he a divine caster, or arcane? Because faction card.

key word being "WAS"...lol

Sheesh. I'm assuming there was nothing in his stat block about "Before Combat" where usually the BBEG buffs themselves with a bunch of spells right before those meddling Pathfinders arrive.

Anyway, I had a lot of fun and would be happy to join any other games you GM.

Here is Inga's Day Job check:

Back in Kibwe, a flourishing center of trade, Inga chats it up with merchants and shopkeeps in an attempt to make the town another prosperous stop on her caravan's trade route.
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24
20 gold pieces.

I am going Slow Track, btw.

Arcane

I figured you went in quickly after talking to the guards and he couldn't buff. He was wall the way across the room too. Probably couldn't hear above the music.

anyone search the area near the statute?'

Eventually, sure, and Granny won't get near it without searching.

I think Rallas is checking the box's area for traps, first. Once we're sure the music box isn't about to blow us all to the Boneyard, then we can search everything.

Kahwen stops off in Kibwe with Inga to check out the trade deals, but it's a little too landlocked for him to make any good inroads with his own business dealings.

Day Job Profession (Sailor) plus Corvacious: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 12 + 2 = 24

Seeing a need in the area, Granny spends a week in Kibwe organizing a charity event supporting ex-slaves.

Forgo Downtime to check faction card

T10 Local: 10 + 12 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ 10 + 12 + 2 + (6) = 30 DC 24

Jory doesn’t work, he just shoots arrows.

Day Job (Profession: Mercenary): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Are we all finished with the scenario or is there more? There is some sort of conclusion, right?

If it helps, could we just assume we search thoroughly and take 10 on the relevant checks?

That'd be 31+ on Perception (and detect magic), same on Disable Device (or +8 vs traps), and minimum 23+1d6 on whatever Knowledges are required (don't want to dig through those at the moment.) Before aid another.

Quite a formidable group.

Thanks for having me.

Still with us GM?

Sorry got swamped IRL.

Yeah we were basically done.

Searching you'll discover the music box was the song.

I'll try to get the chronicles ASAP. My wife is Jewish and we're celebrating tonight then Easter for me this weekend.

No hurry!

Lamb today, ham on Sunday.

enjoy the festivities!

No rush. Thanks for GMing, Qstor!

I enjoyed playing with you all and hope to see you in another game down the road.

"I still don't trust that parrot."

Inga remarks on the way back to Kibwe.

I thought for sure that parrot was going to turn into the BBEG, or one of his goons.

"Why do you think I kept checking my Shining Wayfinder around it?"

Any word on our Chronicles?

Sorry been swamped IRL will have them tonight.

chronicles

Is anyone interested in playing again? I need GM credit for 7-23 and #22 among others.

I’m in

chronicles

Sadly, Granny only gets out-of-subtier gold (yes, that was retroactively added to older seasons.) That's 4768gp.

Is anyone interested in playing again? I need GM credit for 7-23 and #22 among others.

I've played 7-23, as well as 0-22. I could spare a replay, preferably for Abducted in Aether (don't remember being very impressed with Fingerprints of the Fiend.)

Jory is saving up for a belt of physical perfection

Chronicle looks great, thank you!

Oddly enough, I have not played, nor GMd, #22 so I'm definitely down to play. Probably not with Inga, though. I have many level 7-11 PCs.

So, yeah, I'm in!

I have played #7-23, though. Will have to pass on it.

ill check when im at my computer

i'm in for both...havent played either

@GM: Thanks for running. I haven't played either # 7-22 or # 7-23, and would happily join it.

My chronicle looks good.

I would definitely be interested in playing again. I haven't played 7-23 or 0-22.

correction...i have played 0-22...for some reason i read it as 7-22....derp...

May not even need to make a different thread!! Love this group

May not even need to make a different thread!! Love this group

Klaus gives Jory a big wolfman bear-hug.

I think I'm going to make a different thread. Let's wait a bit till the current game day slow down? not to throw a wrench in things...maybe something shaventalz needs to play since he would be using a replay?

I've used very few replays, so that's fine. Finding a compatible scenario I haven't played would be difficult. My list is over here.

EDIT: Looks like I'm only missing 10 scenarios in the 7-11 range. Two of those are part of a 4-part series that stopped being run halfway through, and I'd want all four parts on the same character, so that's quite a commitment.

9-20 Fury of the Final Blade? Anyone else need that?

NOTE - I uploaded Granny's new chronicle.

I'd be up for that.
