[Outpost VI, PF2/Farol] #4-04 To Seek the Heart of Calamity (Inactive)

Game Master Farol

That's two votes for Southwest, and Tess will agree to whatever direction we go. So... Southwest!

Isaku follows...

Symeon's player hasn't been following the conversation close enough to understand the merits of the two choices and, thus not having an opinion on the matter, follows.

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.

Sorry folks, I had a hectic day yesterday :( Southwest it is

Well, that quicksand event went swimmingly.

So I’m not sure with the phrasing if I needed a total of three or four successes.

Was it one to no longer be sinking, then three more to get out?

Or does the three include the one that was required to not sink?

One to not sink in and three to get out. One success let your mount to be free enough to start moving, and swimming through sand requires successes

So we need one more success.

Thanks.

Edit: Seems the dice really wanted the horse out safely. There goes my luck for quite a while…

Sorry for the silence, though from the skills needed it appears all Isaku could have done was cheer you on...

Tess will be coming in with a post soon. Apparently the Ancestors don't like me much.

GM, Apologies. Isaku's AC is 22. I changed his armor to studded leather but forgot to update the statblock. Not that it matters since the last attack would have hit me anyway.

My gosh, there are so many things to climb in this adventure! As an honorary spider, Tess is pleased.

It is especially nasty as the setup is on the desert, so no one would expect the spanish inquisition.

the DC 10 is simple enough that we need no checks for that. Unless you are untrained and with penalty to STR, crit fail happens only on 1 (and then only for some).

well, Isaku would literally only fail on a nat 1 since his Athletics is +9...

GM, stole THIS from you. It worked! :)

Lol, it is good to be inspiration, I found it come across less pushy. And let me say that I hate to chase players to fill in the sheets ;)

The first time I used that trick was at the Delve the Pallid Dephts there are usually funny ways to capture some of it.

I will bot Symeon and Henri tomorrow if they have not posted by then.

I'll ping Henri. He's also in my special.

130 are you certain? I count 110 with another 10 at most for elevation. That's second range increment and with Hunt Prey that would mean no penalty. At any rate that's my action. If it misses it misses.

Am i sure? Ofc I am sure! SO I counted again and it is 110 ;) My brain was certain that 10 squares is 60 ft ;)

if a creature is 10' underground, does that make them immune to a fireball?

I would say that counts as improved cover. Not worth using a spell to verify.

Fortunatelly they go there for a short while ;)

If you would push to try I am not sure how to rule it. On one side fireball do not leave a crater, and if that would be a 5ft wall, they would not be damaged :| duno.

Let's imagine that you never asked that question ;)

I'm assuming that Black is no longer buried if it tried to hit me.

Ditto Blue, though I'm not sure if I even connected. And Produce Flame will certainly do more damage than a bayonet! :)

You are both correct. I did not update my init tracker!

A note, this is severe encounter. Those creatures have no easy weakness, hit like a truck and have plenty of HP: Red is below 50% of their health pool. Since you are resting everyday, I strongly suggest you focus fire and use the resources that you have.

Is Symeon still with us? He has not posted in the last five days or so.

I pinged him 30st of March (a week ago) and he responded and posted on the boards. I wanted for him to respond to the above message as I see him online on discord...

I play with Symeon for years now, and I know that he can play aamazing games... At the same time each and every time I write down how important for me is regular posting, and how annoyed I am when someone does not do it. I think it could be a note to self to stop offering games in first come first served manner and do not pick players who post sporadically...

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

Anywho, thank you for the bots @Tess, you get another hero point, use it for good!

Hey folks a note, this weekend is easter, which is a family holiday where I am from. So today I am catching a plane and heading for the holidays. Expect slower posting until tuesday!

same here. It's a long weekend 6-11 April so expect me to slack off a bit as well :)

btw, don't know if Henri mentioned it -- he's on vacation until Sunday. He made the announcement on the tables he's GM'ing.

I’ll be at a local convention all weekend. I don’t expect this to be a problem since the game will be moving slower.

Paging Rangi (aka GM Farol). Are you going to take any actions in our 02-06 game?

Sedoriku's focused on work. He dropped out of our GM Rotation.

Farol, you running the next scenario in the arc?

Farol, you running the next scenario in the arc?

Let me give you a soft no. For now I try to finish my games in a timely fashion. I am going through personal turbulence, and there are days when I can't post and then there are days when I don't want to think about PBP :( So my plan is to regain some balance before I GM again.

OMG. Take care of yourself!

I was asking because I only have 2 lvl 5 characters and I was planning on playing both at Paizocon :)

Just to clarify all of the changes are relativelly harmless, it's nothing related to my closed ones and family. It's just plenty of changes that I hoped would not be that impactful (switching jobs, switching countries with everything that it entails). All in all, days are less predictible, and sometimes I spend them not in the way I would like ;)

And it takes toll on me, as a result on my games ;) I tried to approach it resonably and signed up for 2 games to play and 1 to GM for Outpost (which is way less than I did before).

Hey folks, here are the Chronicles!!!!. We are effectively at the last scene, so I decided to generate those, already.

I would like to thank you very much for playing, I hope you had fun.

* - do you remember the moment when I told you to keep that in mind as I would have to explain something? Long story short I blundered ;) On the dune map there are 4 points (1 is stars location) and until you disable two interferance the star's location should not be impacting your dagger. I rememberd that when you started, but after first interference I included Star's location in daggers reading :facepalm: as such, when you came to Stars location (two hexes south form 2nd oasis), I swapped places around to drag you through all interferances ;) Sorry about that, that was purely my fault, and I was wondering how to handle that, and I prefered this soltuion to: 'you know what I shouldn't have showed you this... eee .... just go the other way ...'.

I am happy to RP along, in the gameplay thread, if you are not interested I will wrap the game tomorrow with a post.

Before you close out the game, I would like to learn some spells once we are back in a town.

1st: Feather Fall, DC 15, 2 gp
Brekovi's Arcana (E): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29 Hat of the Magi
Critical success, cost 1 gp

2nd Hideous Laughter, DC 18, 6 gp
Brekovi's Arcana (E): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25 Hat of the Magi
Success

3rd Slow, DC 20, 16 gp
Brekovi's Arcana (E): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (12) + 15 = 27 Hat of the Magi
Success

His downtime is spent in off hours study of the sylvan language.

DC 15 Warfare Lore to Earn Income for Downtime: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 Failure, 16 cp

Thank you so much for running the game, GM Farol! I just have one tiny issue with the chronicle. Above the Event it says, PbP Outpost V Event instead of VI, but everything else is good.

PFS Lore: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29

So where you moving to? Same issue with the Chronicle - Event name.

Yay! Thanks for running this for us Farol.

For those obsessed about Roman Literals ;) I regenerated the chronicles ;)

Since I saw reactions from each player I will mark this campaign as inactive. Thanks for playing everyone!
