Hello and welcome to my first game in our GM Round Table group,
#9-11: The Jarlsblood Witch Saga for PCs of levels 5-9.
Please fill in your information at RPGChronicles found
>>Here<<.
You do not need an account to sign up, however, there is no fee to do so. Only the GM will see your email. This is so the GM (me!) can email the chronicle pdf to you.
I like to post more than once a day, when I can, to keep the flow of the game going and my memory refreshed. I also like to post on weekends. I am fine with nobody posting on Sundays if they don't want to.
I like to do Day Job rolls after the game, but, I also like to have players incorporate their day jobs into the game; gathering info at the local tavern? Have your bard do a stand-up routine for the locals. Faction Journal Card mission? Chat (roleplay) with the Venture Captain's servant to convince them to join the Exchange!
Let's have an awesome super fun game!
I PM'd Meranthi. No problem if they jump in late. I'll get the game started mid-day US time tomorrow.
Pai, Shido, & Melanthi,
You are welcome to join our Discord thread >>Here<<.
We discuss the game, tactics, silly stuff, and just have a good time.

Tactics: Pai likes to fly constantly. She's not right now, because that would be rude to Lirall, but usually she's up at eye level for the taller folks when talking and flying above their heads when traveling, the better to see threats coming.
In combat she usually tries to get out of range above a fight and send her kinetic blasts down on foes, especially if they show that they have AOE attacks. (They're less likely to hit her with those if they can't also hit anyone else.) If we're ever up against someone/thing that she thinks might be hindered by deafness, she'll try her Thundering Infusion. Being a CON-based character, she can also serve as a damage sponge if things get dire.
She has Disable Device +6, which isn't great at this level, but if no one else has it it's better than nothing. (She put one skill point in it after being in a scenario in which no one was trained in it. Better weak than useless!)
Good stuff for me & the group to know, Pai.
Regarding Thundering Infusion, is the deafness permanent?
Yup, it sure is. So she's not keen to use it on people we may want to interrogate.
Yowza! Pretty intense. Awesome ability.
I've never played or GM'd a game with a kineticist. (If i have, I don't remember). I'll need to look up how Burn and everything works.
Any possibility you can explain it in a nutshell, Pai?

Each point of Burn will give Pai 8 points of NL damage, which can ONLY be removed with 8 hours of rest. She can Gather Power as a move action to cancel out the Burn she would take for using a blast wild talent. When she has any Burn, she gets a bonus to attacks and damage. When she has at least 3 points of Burn, her CON and DEX stats get a boost and she has a small chance of avoiding crits and sneak attacks. I'll keep Pai's header updated with this stuff and will happily explain anything when asked.
She can also use a version of Empower Spell for her kinetic blasts. She can do a simple blast, which costs 0 Burn and just uses one of her two elements, or a composite blast using both for double damage and 2 points of Burn.

Take it easy!
Alright, this is what I see as options?
Coalbraid Longhouse
Trolltooth Longhouse
Gorum's Anvil temple
Stonefire's Supplies
Troll's Hide Tannery
We have 3 segments through the day. We could theoretically finish all of these by the end of the day if we split 3/3.
Mykel and Elena have the highest diplo so I would suggest each one was in a different team and the others do aid another? What do you think?

Hope you feel better soon, Mykel! You get double points for managing a creative and entertaining turn of phrase while feeling like a well-tenderized flank of a beast of burden.
Elena's plan works for me. Pai will probably go with her, since she likes making new friends. Of course, she'll want to go to all the places, but it won't matter to her which one she visits first.
Of course, a less impulsive and flighty character ought to suggest it, if we go this route. Thoughts?
@GM Roll4initiative: Will we have the opportunity to spend multiple days canvassing the town?
Yes, you will have multiple days to investigate the town. However, I don't expect it to take more than a day or two with your group and mix of skills.
Everyone else good going as a group to the temple?
Cool beans. It's my bedtime. I'll get a post up tomorrow.
It might be a good idea for us to just take the weekend off since it is a holiday weekend. We'll do some posting tomorrow (Friday), then pick back up on Monday.
Funny. Someone in my Bonekeep game also mentioned they're doing a lot of cooking and cleaning for the holiday weekend. Lol. I soon realized Warah is in both of my games.
Just making sure...
All the girl PCs are going in one group and Mykel & Shido in the other group?
I added a map on slide 3. Probably not needed, but, I was bored. Pretty cool map, though. Apparently you are wandering through a dilapidated area of Frostbreach.
Played around a bit and added more to the map to show the phantom townsfolk closing in.
Added a map of Snow Elk Wilds effigy area on slide deck. Just so you get an idea of where the rocky outcropping & effigy site are.
Sorry that I moved the chapter with Olisarra & the Ijiraq along so quickly. Because I love the scene so much, I was excited & impatient and couldn't wait posting just once per day. Luckily, Elena and Mykel had just the right questions to ask to receive the answers that were written in the scenario. I'll try to move at a slower pace during the catacombs/caverns chapter so that everyone has a chance to reply each day.
Perception:
Searching the niches and alcoves took about 20-30 minutes with all of you searching. Lulari's communal resist energy had 18 minutes between the 5 of you. Resist energy is no longer active. Does Lulari want to cast it again before going down the steps that lead further into the catacombs?
Did we bring back our fey friend? Is there anything they would do to affect our return to town?
She'll meet up with you soon.
She might even be watching the encounter on the trail back to Frostbreach. ;)
