Could everyone please fill out the Macros Sheet?

Done.

Done as Player 2

Always details.

In addition to everyone filling out the Macros and Slides, are there any GMs with Glyphs at the table to hand out as extra Hero Points?

Looks like everyone has done the slides and one person hasn't done the Macros sheet.

You can also select school items as applicable.

We will be playing High Tier, but our sole out of Tier character is Level 2, so no Level Bump or Mentor Boons.

3 Glyph GM

@ Slipp, Hancock / Bruce, and Hero Point to (Erevan, Luz, or Starlight): 1d3 ⇒ 1 Erevan

My thanks.

Getting a little confused here about who is going where. Did we complete the visit to the library?

This section is pretty simple. One success is all that is needed.

=)

It strikes me that these merchants might remember who did these transactions and we could find out who Z is that way. Is it worth trying or is that jumping the tracks of the scenario?

That is jumping off the tracks. You will start to meet other people with more information shortly.

One Vote for the grotto, one vote for the Sky tower, we need a tie breaker!

I believe I've finally figured out how Flexible Spellcasting Dedication works for Starlight will be getting a bit of a rebuild between the two halves of this arc.

To reflect that, the class in her header will change from, Wizard to Arcanist.

Oh crikey. I forgot to declare I also have three glyphs.

Gunna take a moment here to point out:

Hidden
Seek
Point Out

Let’s get ‘em!

So are we all in darkness, or is there light from he fire?

GM,
What is the Terrain situation for this room? Also, are the doors open or shut? Would that be an Interact action to change status? Are there any visible obstacles / obstructions?

Preparing for a goose chase if green snatches that skull!

@GM I picked up the Arclord because I was under the impression that Starlight had automatically dropped it. If it was still in her possession, then I would not have tried to take it.

Many thanks for part 1, looking forward to part 2.

labor lore DC15: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

Success: 16sp

Perform(Stage Magician): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Library Lore: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

Thank you for GMing. Would sit at your table anytime. 5 stars.

Oh wait...aren't we doing another? :)

legal lore: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20 downtime job, which he hates

The Golembane Boys never get their start-up capital returned to them, absorbed by an equal and opposite divestment fee, which, incidentally, Councilman Professor Serj Harlequinn uses to fund the completion of his Moderate Blast Boots!

Chronicle Downtime: 6.00 gold Progress towards Crafting Moderate Blast Boots; purchase remainder of Batch (4x) for 1.5 gold

And, after scheming his way up the financial food chain, attains Level 4!

Odd, I have not received any new message notifications for this thread this week.

Chronicle Sheets are posted. Please let me know if there are any comments, questions or corrections.

Remember, if your stats have changed because, for example, you have leveled up, please update the Macros Spreadsheet

I plan to start the next scenario in this Arc in a couple of days.

Earn Income: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26

That's an additional 4gp. Erevan leveled up! That means more alchemical items to choose from.

Just a minor correction. Erevan changed factions over the last two scenarios he's been in. I forgot to make notes to this but his total for envoys alliance is at 10 (4 from the last and 6 for this one). His horizon hunters is at 46.

Starlight updated to be an Arcanist (Flexible Dedication). No changes to the macros but profile has been updated.

The Faction is now Grand Archive instead of Vigilant Seal.

Hancock is buying a brooch of shielding at the beginning of Arclord's Abode.

Yikes. Erevan is not within level range of 4-10. Would it be okay to swap characters?

Um, the Scenario number is 4-10. The Tier is for characters from 1st level to 4th level.

Yes. Erevan just turned 5th level.

Thanks to the 85% percent reduction in gold caused by the Evolving Destiny boon, Starlight is 8gp short of affording a Brooch of Shielding :)

Wow, what is the evolving destiny boon? Or curse.

Erevan, my apologies for misunderstanding. You will need to swap characters for the second scenario.

Let's you rebuild your character - except for Ancestry and Background - but inclusive of nearly every other decision (including ability scores) at the price of 15% of your gold. Cheapest before level 5 where the AcP cost suddenly grows. I have used it for about half of my characters at this point.

I have replaced Erevan's Chronicle sheet with one that includes the Earned Income for Downtime.

Speaking of Evolving Destiny, I am purchasing it for Serj (costing 37.20) - will post the story to that shortly...

Alright! Thanks GM!

Just a reminder to folks to fill out the new RPGChronicles for the next scenario.

RPGChronicles and please update the Macros sheet with any changes.

I gota buy me some gear. Cash burning a hole in my pocket.
Suggestions? Guess I should get a magic weapon, but really, when will I use it?

Protection runes are still a couple of levels away. Ideas?

I am having trouble with the link GM.

@ Slipp, what about a Menacing Rune for your clothing?

@rainzax, the link for RPG Chronicles, Chronicle sheets, or something else?

I realized I didn't link the Macros sheet in the post above, so I will link it here:
Macros Link

All checked in GM thx!

We continuing in this gameboard/thread?

Yes we are! I just posted the Intro to the next scenario, even though we are missing one from the Sign-in sheet.

If you leveled up, don't forget to update your taglines! I rely on those for HP and on occasion saves.

Short summary of updates w/ Evolving Destiny:

I greatly enjoyed narrowly succeeding that Diplomacy check last game to seal it off - to reflect that, Serj is now an Expert in Diplomacy, and recently purchased a pair of Glasses of Sociability to assist him in his business schemes!

Sorry, didn't see the sign up. All set.

Hard DC for our level. Basically a 25% chance of success and 25% chance at a crit failure.

Relative word.

Serj has a 55% chance of success, 5% chance of critical failure, but is now out of hero points...

Does the nature/religion etc check open the wards, or just tell us more about them, to perhaps give a bonus on the thievery check?

And perhaps more importantly, if I try it (only +6) does it risk setting off the ward?

That is the trouble with Hancock too. on a 5 or less at +6 it is a crit failure, on a 15 or more it is a success, anything else is a wash. So there is a 50/50 chance between him helping and hindering. So as long as he has a hero point to clean up his mess it is worth trying, but if someone else has a better roll, they would be better for them to try. The odds are vastly different for someone rolling at a +8.

Now if we need someone to break the cabinets into pieces, Hancock is your man.
