[OPVI] PF2e B12 - Somewhere Below (P7) (Inactive)

Game Master UncleFroggy

Wooh! 1000 posts. Neat.

Question. I was re-checking my chronicles, and I got curious.
How does gaining gold work?
Are there quests that pay without doing downtime? During downtime, do I have to pick between earning a living or crafting?
For Flooded King's Court, did I get 0.6 or 14.6 gp?

I was doing a recalculation for the potion crafting and I seems a bit off.

edit: After bothering people in the PFS Discord (love them <3), apparently I've been doing my potion crafting all wrong.
PFS Crafting
According to this, it seems that I only use my first roll (16) for crafting the potions, and it doesn't take away 4 days for every adventure.
So, instead of being at 5.98 gp, I'm actually at 9.4 gp.

Nice. Glad you got that sorted.

Hey all! I've asked two players to join us since J.G. is leaving and Cath has not responded to my emails.

(Cath, if you are reading this, we still miss you!) Their player names are Blazej and Bret, and we'll see what they bring to us!

My character is a good dog!

What scenarios is this group looking to do in the future? This character is a little behind the group, so I will be looking to apply in person GM credit to them. I don’t want to apply something that this group is planning to run.

Bounties do not give any Downtime. Quests, scenarios and modules do. It tends to be 2 days per XP assuming you are not field-commissioned.

You pick how many of the days you spend on the various downtime activities. I think you can only have one crafting project in the works at a time. Earn Income is a different downtime activity than crafting, even though you can use Crafting skill to Earn Income.

It sounds like you’ve got crafting figured out, so I will not go into that complication.

What we have done already:

B12 Somewhere Below
B16 Boom Town Betrayal
Q4 Port Peril Pub Crawl
B04 Cat’s Cradle
2-11 Pathfinder Trials
Q14 The Swordlord’s Challenge
1-07 Flooded King’s Court
4-01 Intro: Year of Boundless Wonder

I'm not entirely sure what we have planned in the near future, so I really don't know what we have going on in the distant future.

Most of those are level 1 only. The only ones of those I could put on Branch are 4-01 Year of Boundless Wonder and Q4 Port Peril Pub Crawl. Since the quest only gives 1 XP, I will not be looking to do that.

Branch is currently 12 XP from level 3.

I plan to put GM credit for 1-03 Escaping the Grave on him tomorrow. That is not a repeatable and I suspect multiple people here have played it. I can look for an opportunity to run 4-01 at some point as well. With those two, I believe that I would be very close to caught up.

I only have 18 XP after finishing 4-01. So you already aren't that far behind me.

AWW YISS. Aside from the horned blue changeling, this party is full of adorableness!

I have a very clear bias for continuing with the Aslynn campaign. (year of boundless wonder?)

Q14 is 2xp. The Bounties are 1xp.

Konbu is at 22xp (level 2) and has done: 1-12, 3-01, 2-11, 2-Q14, 1-07 and 4-01.

If I switch back to Dar Lek (24xp, Lvl 3) that's 3-01, 2-11, B12, B16, 1-Q4, B4, 4-12, 4-13, 4-01.

Another possibility is my new Kineticist, Ami (Lvl 2), who is currently in the last part of Lions of Katapesh. Also has credit for 4-02, 1-01 and 4-13.

Quest 4 should only give 1 XP. I do agree that Q14 gives 2, but Branch already has credit for that quest.

Experience Points from Guide to Org Play

I am good with continuing Season 4 content. It will mean burning a few replays, but I can do that.

I expect we will want to do at least one replayable scenario as well.

This is my first PFS character
I still don't know most stuff, so I'll agree with anything y'all decide <3

Hello I was mentioned about this game and I would just love to join. I do have a level 2 magus Galvaka (as well as a few others) I can play. I can be fairly open to playing any adventure, even spending replays if necessary. With this character I've just played 3-08, Q2, 2-05, and 2-09.

Oooh. I haven't seen a Magus play before. That sounds interesting.

we've done Q04 - Port Peril.

Hello Blazej. Only game I've played with you was 03-13 some time ago.

A goblin laughing shadow magus? Sounds interesting.

So far I’ve only done Inexorable Iron and Starlit Span. The Starlit Span is still level 1.

I look forward to seeing your magus in play!

Froggy PFS Session Tracker

Just to make it easier on what I've played. I'm ok with using replays since I'm sitting on 600+ AcP, have 10+ replay boons due to 3 glyphs.

Alright, this is Blazej.

3-13 was a fun game and I'm looking forward to this one as well!

It has been a while since I have gotten a chance to play Galvaka, but I'm hopeful she will be able to help.

She is a goblin laughing shadow magus as mentioned. I'll admit I haven't payed attention to hear if there has been any clarification on how the arcane cascade stance works. Aside from that, the one note I'll make is that she has surprise attack from the Rogue Dedication.

ok. So what are we playing?

With my schedule right now I probably won't be opening new games (Dad is in the hospital so my schedule will get weird until he gets discharged. He's responding to the meds but the docs aren't comfortable turning him loose yet).

This table really started as a way for Hmm to introduce some people to PF2e. It's pretty much morphed into a regular group. As you can tell from the header, we started this in March... :)

I'll admit I haven't payed attention to hear if there has been any clarification on how the arcane cascade stance works.

None that I am aware of.

Glad to hear he is responding to the meds. Wishing you and your family the best.

I don’t mind waiting.

The second confirmation is the next game on the docket. Has everyone not played that? I could run it if Tiger cannot, or someone else can if they wish.

I know there are several ways possible to read the rules that are logically valid. But I have only heard one way that is actually fun to play: You only need to qualify to start the stance. Once started it lasts until the end of combat or until you start a different stance.

Everything else I have heard either doesn't work at all, or is super restrictive on what you are able to do for your turns. Arcane Cascade benefits aren't so awesome that they justify not being able to move.

I thought you didn't want to play that :)

Please fill in the RPG Chronicles Info for 99-01. I also cleaned up the Macros and Slides (essentially created a page 2 for the slides whenever Cath rejoins us).

Added Branch to Chronicles, Macros and Slides.

I’m going to ask, are you sure you want to take this one right now GM Tiger? You have a lot going on IRL.

Hmm... good point. Maybe I'll sit this one out. I can transfer the RPG Chronicles sheet to someone else if they want to run it. I'll play it though... Sam's already played this so I can consider Bun... :)

Corabee, do you want to try running a scenario? This one is pretty straightforward.

It is tempting. Let me see here...

Yes. If you like, I can run The Second Confirmation for us.

I may have to use a phone a friend lifeline a bit for PFS paperwork and such things.

There are enough of us here that regularly run Org Play games that I’m confident we can answer any of your questions.

I would expect so.

Anyway, let me get some things done here and I'll see if I can get the gameplay going this evening.

Which does mean that for Arcane Cascade at least in this scenario

I have only heard one way that is actually fun to play: You only need to qualify to start the stance. Once started it lasts until the end of combat or until you start a different stance.

that is how I will run it.

disclaimer: I don't actually have any ration tonic, but given Bee won't participate and assuming he does consume it, it's just for rp purposes.

in case it's not legal, prestidigitation to make a golden fork, i dunno

we have a volunteer for a tribute. I'll transfer the RPG Chronicles info later today. meeting hell day today...

GM Lantern - done. May the odds be ever in your favor.

You'll need to change the event ID, table names, etc.

ack... I need to put a botting spoiler for Bun... sometime today or tonight...

btw, GM if you have a set of slides you'd like me to link to, please post the link (or PM it to me).

I'll do that... Once I have a set of slides set up for PBP games...

Which I will absolutely have done. Hopefully before it is needed.

I'll add Bun to the macros and slides sometime today... Tuesdays/Thursdays are nuts for me...

And in other news, my dad has been cleared to be discharged on Saturday.

Pothted :)

Pothted :)

Excellent. I have slides up. That is where I can put maps. And in the morning I may even get up pictures of the NPCs.

to use the macros, just click on the 'Paizo' tab and you'll get the dice expressions for Initiative and the other skill checks.

btw, is everyone levelling up to 3 after 99-01?

No.

Yes

No, I will not be leveling.

Thank you!

I don't know

I am leveling to 3, and Ashun was 4 XP behind Bitty, so with another 2 XP you would level to 3. Perhaps we can run Quest 15 after this?

That or people who are 2xp off could slow track one adventure.

I was planning to do Q15 for GDXII when it drops later this month. :)

Characters also get to pick school consumables for this scenario, yes?

And could one of you do me a favor and figure out how many glyphs the group has that become Hero Points and how many Hero Points to start everyone out with.
