Thoughts?

Intimidation! Let everyone fear the dragon's roar!

Thank you for the game and the chronicle!

Got it, thank you. Did we miss a treasure bundle?

yes. from the out-of-order amulet retrieval.

I got my chronicle! Thank you!

I'll post an update later tonight. Playing catchup now.

Playing with ketchup usually just makes a mess. Only play with your food once you have eaten all of your toys.

More a question for Konbu, Loompecker and Bitty Blue -- have you played 01-15 (Blooming Catastrophe)? I'm pretty sure Cath, Bee and Ashun haven't played it... Since if your characters manage to reach lvl 3, I can also run part 2 (as sort of an exam) :)

Yes, I’ve played 1-15 with a character who is reaching lvl 8 now (Okh)

I have played it, but could replay it.

Out of character: Poetry would be Hmm's number one choice. I love throwing rhymes together.

Let's look at who has the skills for each challenge:

Insults

Bitty
Cath
Corabee
Konbu
Loompecker

Poetry

Ashun
Bitty
Cath
Corabee
Konbu
Loompecker

Tug-of-War

Bitty
Cath
Corabee
Konbu
Loompecker

Medicine

Everyone (Perception)
Ashun
Bitty
Corabee

Cat Calling

Ashun
Bitty
Corbee
Loompecker

Battlefield Conditions

Everyone (Perception)
Bitty
Cath
Corabee
Loompecker

Oddly, Poetry is one of our strongest categories... But we could make any of these work. What would people have the most fun with?

Ash definitely would have fun with anything other than insults. Even if he's not good at tug o'war, still could be fun if his friends are there.

me? gimme cats and antyhing to write on and I'll be happy for life

What would people have the most fun with?

Another thing to consider: What would people have fun describing failing at?

I would have a lot of fun with cat herding. Probably tug-of-war and battlefield conditions. Maybe medicine and possibly insults.

What would people have fun describing failing at?

Let's go tug of war and everyone fails with nat 1s, then their strength would be so overwhelming that they'd throw us flying over their heads like a whip, and when we fall behind them, we take advantage of the momentum to pull them all back and make them fall! Thus winning the competition!

But for real, all of them could be made into a fun roleplaying fail.
Perhaps the most detrimental would be not hugging the cat and letting the mock patient die.

Well, remember, that even if you go for insults -- please keep it rated G! :)

The challenges all make for fun RP.

Huh .. where id my earlier post go?

Yes, I've played 1-15. And how did you manage to report the last game without a date?

The board eats posts from time to time...

I reissued chronicles for 02-11 and corrected the submission to Paizo. I forgot to correct the date on rpgchronicles. Basically, to move to the 2nd page you need everything filled out on the 1st page, including the date. I had the Game date set to 30 June 2023. When I reported, it used that date. Since Paizo apparently doesn't have a time machine, it appears to have allowed the date to stand...

Oh and here are the rules on Familiar Skill Abilities:

As a witch, you have three of them.

Wait. Three? I always prepared only two O:

You start with three from being a Witch familiar. Then get more as the Witch levels up.

Your patron has sent you a familiar, a mystical creature that teaches you and facilitates your spells. This familiar follows the rules here, though as it's a direct conduit between you and your patron, it's more powerful than other familiars. Your familiar gains an extra familiar ability, and gains another extra ability at 6th, 12th, and 18th levels.

And you can switch out which abilities you get each morning. You don't have to pick a set and stick with it permanently.

Though I will also mention that Skilled ability only gives one skill each time you take it. So Skilled(Crafting, Medicine) is two abilities.

So I was unintentionally doing it right huh
I should also make a character for Bea.

mlems
refuses to elaborate further
leaves

As much fun as cat wrangling or insults would be, not everyone can participate well in those. Medicine and Poetry would actually be better from the list that Bitty posted.

Let's do all of them!
Or at least three instead of two? Although I don't know if it's viable

Ashun, before I forget, please complete the RPG Chronicles info.

Oh right! My bad!

To make sure I am clear on this:

To catch Mephisto, a PC needs to get three successes before they get three failures.

The party as a whole needs to get three successes before getting three failures. But each character only needs to roll one check in order to catch the cat. Yes?

Correct. Catching the cat is an individual event.

btw, you can fill in the sign up sheets for 01-07 if you'd like. I think Bitty and Konbu said they will replay it. Loompecker, are you joining us?

Us newbies will be level 2 after this adventure, yes?

Sorry, last two days were super busy! Time to catch up, and hopefully get a feline friend!

Are you all leveling up after this? (except for Bitty and Konbu?)

Are you all leveling up after this? (except for Bitty and Konbu?)

If my assumptions and calculations are correct.

4x 1 point quests: Somewhere below, Boom town betrayal, Port Peril pub crawl, and Cat's Cradle.
Then Pathfinder Trials for 4 points.
And now Swordlord's Challenge for 4 points.

12 points to level up, yes?

Are you all leveling up after this?

Time for me to check my Pathbuilder to see what I'm going to do at level 2 then.

Nope. Swordlord's Challenge for 2 Points. So y'all will be 2 short until we do another quest.

Hmm

So y'all will be 2 short until we do another quest.

Nooooooo

So close, lol. I think I might take the Marshal Dedication at 2 with Intimidate when I get there.

I guess we'll have to wait for Quest 2-15 to make up those missing 2xp :)

Ok so you want to lvl up before doing 01-07 or do you want to just dive in? I'm fine either way.

Beginner Box Upper Level? (waits for groans of dismay) :P

Level 1 is the new level 2. In D&D3.5/PF1 days I would always want to start at level 2 because the difference between level 1 and 2 was such a big jump.

In Starfinder and PF2 it isn't so much any more. I'm fine with running at level 1 for another adventure.

In AD&D 2e Lvl 1 was totally pathetic if you were a mage, for example... 4hp + your CON bonus means you stayed way back in combat since anything could kill you and you wouldn't be able to hit the broad side of a barn... :)

I am good for anything!

@GM Tiger. Found that one out the obvious way in PFS1e. New PC spellcaster, critted by an arrow in the first combat. And I thought I was hiding real well. :(

Loompecker will be lvl 2 after this quest. I am ok with any repeatable

01-07 is not repeatable. Will you be joining this group with a replay boon or sit this one out?

I know this but you was asking for playing something else before
