[PF2] Troubles in Otari (GM Watery Soup)

Game Master Watery Soup

Time to level up to Level 3.

Loot sheet is updated. Since I haven't heard any other suggestions, I'm going to move forward with the plan of liquidating everything, and people being able to buy things back at half price. Mechanically, this means on the loot sheet, I've cleared the "Assigned" column and sold everything (set "Cash" to the "Sell Price").

To buy an item off of the loot sheet, set the cash back to 0, and put your character's name on the Assigned list. Because some items may be in demand, please coordinate with each other in this thread about the sparkblade, the +1 dagger, the expanded healer's tools, and the hand of the mage.

I've put the +1 dagger separately as a +1 rune and a dagger, in case y'all want to transfer the rune. I'll waive the Crafting check to transfer the rune, but it'll still cost 10% of the rune's price (3.5 gp) to transfer it. The sparkblade has to remain intact (it can have a striking rune added to it later), the rune can't come off of it.

The total cash from selling everything is 175.1 gp, so 35.02 gp per PC. Don't forget to add any money left over from character creation.

Oh, cool! So So is Lvl 3 now...

I'll pick up a lesser healing potion and a +1 Handwraps of Mighty Blows... Combined with the money left over from character creation, that's just enough.

Skills wise, I get Medicine for my skill increase, and Assurance Medicine. I'll get Battle Medicine (or Risky Surgery) next level. That should help with healing...

I'm in the process of leveling up and I've already got Battle Medicine. I'm taking Assurance and Expert in Medicine so Grimmy can always provide 2d8+10 HP with it.

I'll also get 3 free 2nd Level Heal spells.

Excellent! Working on leveling now.

Purchase one healing potion, otherwise holding serve.

Feat: Toughness
Skill: Diplomacy (now +10)

I laid claim to the expanded healer's kit. Otherwise, no additional purchases for me.

I took Fleet + Thievery to Expert.

No purchases actually

if someone else is investing in diplomacy, Kzem would be happy to take intimidation as my skill increase too... I waffled on which one I wanted, but opted for the more face-ish role.

I see updated stat blocks for Kzem, Thorn, and Beggar So.

Grimmylow, you can choose to rebuild using the Remaster rules if you'd like, with the caveat that I don't have the Player Core, so I'd be relying on you. On the plus side, I believe you now get a flat 4 bonus slots for Heal, rather than 1+CHA. I don't know what the parallel for Divine Lance is now. Something that deals spirit damage? Daze was updated for sure, but the updated spell isn't on Archives of Nethys, so I don't know what it was updated to. (The only character I have updated so far is a primal spellcaster, so I only know about the primal cantrips.)

Burning Hands becomes Breathe Fire, but I think the stats are the same.

I updated Grimmylow but started a new profile since I'm using an actual Society character for this. I was just reusing his existing profile but that was starting to get dangerous because of what I was and was not buying between the two of them.

I don't have the Remaster rules, either (although an unfortunate look into the wrong box suggests that I will have it in about a week) so I don't feel the urge to rebuild him.

TL:DR - I'm ready to continue.

That's the one thing I liked about the remastered clerics... the healing font is a flat number instead of 1 + CHA...

I kind of prefer the old way. But then again it doesn't really for Grimmylow, he has a +3 to Cha so he gets 4 heal spells, either way.

It allows you to make a cleric with low CHA and which still gets solid amount of heal spells. I know that in some builds I always had to choose between bumping WIS or CHA

I see an updated sheet for Buzz and Grimmylow.

Alrighty, I'm back from the holidays. First post for part 2 is up.

I've PMed Beggar So.

I've also posted. Sorry for the silence.

So I'm back as well! :)

Just to be clear - Grimmy has decided to go searching without any research before hand.

Grimmy's player thinks research might be a good idea.

I thought the name sounded familiar... Oloria is in Bounty 06...

Hey buzz, what you running for Outpost?? :)

I submitted for the Special and I believe a Level 1-4 adventure from Season 2. I can't remember which one off the top of my head.

If you end up with needing someone to fill a spot, let me know :). I need an excuse to make a new PF2 character.

I submitted for the Special and I believe a Level 1-4 adventure from Season 2. I can't remember which one off the top of my head.

I saw -- 02-13 (A Gilded Test). I've heard of that and want to play it so I'll probably sign up for that one as my free table...

And why do you need an excuse to make a new character?

If anyone's got high level PCs (like 9+), I'm doing 04-15 (In Glorious Battle) for Outpost...

I've got Quinoline at level 10, but I want to play another 7-10 so she can be level 11 for the 9-12 scenarios.

Farol's got a 7-10... which I'm also tempted to play assuming Isaku's game (04-07) ends on time...

Yeah, I want again try to GM something, and it was the last scenario of the metaplot that I did not play. So I decided to GM it instead.

Just a solo 1-4 for me this year. Trying to tone my game list down to bare minimum as I have a school coming up next January and have stuff to prepare for that this year up to that point.

school?? what school?

In real life, I am the forever GM. Online, I play in this game with Kzem- and one high-level F1 that some of you are in.

Kzem is one of only 2 PF2 characters I have ever played. Any excuse to make a new level one and try out something different is worth it for me! I am not really into trying to rush into games or jump into recruitment in the main lodges- I haven't actually "applied" for a game in probably 3 years, as I have had a small number of consistent games, which I prefer anyways.

school?? what school?

WOSSE

Went for an impromptu ski trip. Will catch up later today or tomorrow.

Congrats, Grimmy! I just saw the announcement in Cottonseed. It is SO! :)

Yeah, your church just got bigger! Congrats!

Thanks guys! I plan on being the most benevolent of dictators.

My motto is "the beatings will continue until morale improves."

ROTFL

Congrats Ebonfist! You will do great. :)

Hello fellows,

I'll be going on vacation today. I'm heading to Austin so I probably will have internet connectivity but probably won't be able to post. Bot me as necessary, please and thank you.

I am on vacation this week- I’ll have my phone but will probably be slow and simple in responses. Please don’t let me hold up the game, and bot when appropriate.

Greetings assorted people.

I'm taking tomorrow off and heading to visit my Mom. Her internet is spotty at best so I likely won't post until Monday.

Please bot me if necessary.

Hey guys...I know it probably seems like I never work but I really do most of the time...just a lot of time away lately...

Speaking of...I'm taking Monday off to watch the Solar Eclipse, so I may post again over the weekend but likely won't again until Tuesday.

Have fun! We flew out to watch the one in 2017, it was pretty pretty good.

Anybody want to lay claim to any of the treasure?

Kzem or So should probably take the belt since they're our frontliners.

It seems like Grimmy might want the rat, but that's probably just my goblin bias coming out and I don't know that he would actually use it.

I also have to adjust my mentality. 35 years of treasure being measured in triple and quadruple digits means that my natural inclination is to scoff at 15 GP jewels until I remember that they're as valuable as the magic items we're getting.

I am fine with that split. My Bard used Onyx Dog for few things:

- trip trigger ;) You summon creature and run through corridor on each square ;)
- The there is no trap, frequently it would trigger fight and eat one range attack, or even better a big bad monster would move to it, strike (and take down rat/dog) then move to the party.

But later on, I just sold it out, as it was not worth the trouble

What do I need to do to get rid of the long lasting damage?

Just rest overnight.

Aight, the loot sheet is updated. At the end of Level 2, selling everything you had accumulated gave everyone 35.02 gp. Grimmylow "bought back" the expanded healers tools for 25 gp, so everyone but Grimmy had whatever was left over from character creation + 35.02 gp, and Grimmy had whatever was left over from character creation + 10.02 gp.

I actually don't see any evidence that anyone bought anything else, not even +1 weapon runes (not even the first one that you found at the fish camp, which is half price). The party seems to be doing fine without it, but it's still funny from my perspective.

So far, in Level 3, y'all have accumulated 51.4 gp (10.28 gp/PC) in cash, plus another 100 gp (20 gp/PC) if all the items were sold. I'm keeping them as unliquidated items for the time being since at least one is being used.

I believe that we did purchase magical runes, as Kzem's shield boss is a +1. I'll have to go back and audit how that happened. That is the only possession he had, other than backpack/adventuring gear, and a single potion of healing.

In looking through my HLO purchases, it seems like I paid the 10% transfer fee for the +1 rune (that was originally on the dagger)- at least on the HLO side (if not declared here or on the loot sheet)

Sorry, since that would end up changing all the wealth distribution downstream. I will try to be better about marking things off on the loot tracker. To fix it, I'll pull the "extra" 14 gp off my character (which should have the same effect as me taking a 17 gp plus the 3.5 I paid to transfer the rune).

I will be holding out on other purchases until level 4 where I can get a striking rune.

Yeah I think I did not track my purchase there, i will fix it. Sorry about that

I assume we're going to let the ones with Darkvision take the middle three shifts and leave evening and morning to the one with low-light vision and the one with nothing (seriously...how have humans become so dominant with so many obvious flaws?)

Well, s!&*. It looks like my notorious forgetfulness of Hero Points has reared its ugly head once again. I could have sworn I was on top of it for a while, but looking back through the history, it looks like I've missed Hero Point usage all the way back to October 2023.

This was triggered by wondering why Buzz didn't reroll his Crit Failure, so this is my proposed solution: Everyone gets their choice of either 2 Hero Points, or 1 more than they currently have. Buzz can get an extra one on top of that for not complaining about my lack of accounting skillz.

I will endeavor to keep better track in the future.
