OMG, I have 35 unread messages in Gameplay. I'm going to need a bit to catch up.
Vekka's post only look big. Mostly they are quoting relevant past text to keep threading :grimacing:
Eternal Lantern Status
Blessed Coins to Re-Ignite @ @ (Shizuru, ??, ??)
Once the Lantern is lit, it's three Blessed Coins will grant an item bonus to the Divine Skills of the Deities involved.
So, for example, if the party uses the Shizuru coin inside the Eternal Lantern, characters who roll her Divine Skill of Society within the bounds of Willowshore will receive a +1 item bonus to the check!
Party Deities
➤ Auntie Wu @ Pharasma @ Cathedral of the Lady of Souls (W10) @ (Medicine)
➤ Ho Lan @ Fumeiyoshi @ underneath his bed @ (Intimidation)
➤ Kazuki Sato @ Daikitsu @ Nine Ear Shrine (W9) @ Nine Ear Shrine (W9) @ (Crafting)
➤ Sigurd Kolphan @ Shizuru @ Mother’s Coil (W20) @ (Society)
➤ Vekka Tchakon @ Nethys @ Unknown @ (Arcana)
So, while it looks likely that Shizuru and Pharasma will be chosen to light the Eternal Lantern (as I prepare the Cathedral of the Lady of Souls for you), I think a discussion about the third Deity is in order!
I will let others choose the third temple they want to bless the coin at. I can't do Shizuru twice.

Gunna take the day to let Ho Lan play ketchup.
In the meantime, I have been doing a some campaign maintenance, such as recording the party's progress and rewards in the Experience Points alias.

Very fast moving game, indeed. Sometimes it's quite overwhelming.
Has that Tien Xia book been released? Unfortunately, for the description of Daikitsu:
Nethys Note: no description has been provided of this deity.
So there are no boons listed. :(

As I understand it, the Tien Xia book was supposed to be releases concurrent with this AP, but the Remaster madness pushed that separate track of the production schedule back, causing this AP and that book to become out of sync.
Until Tien Xia book drops, I am open to suggestions. My first instinct is to use another, similar-profile Deity's boons for Daikitsu in the meantime.
Thoughts?
Heh. All of the ones that are similar with Nature as a domain don't have descriptions either. *Shrug*
Maybe just go with Shizuru since she is the Mother of All Gods.
I have a good idea:
How about Kazuki worships a Tien version of Erastil?
|
That seems like it would fit the ranger theme well.
Regarding the last Blessed Coin, Auntie Wu would just say to do it at the next shrine they happen upon to get the lantern lit as soon as possible. Of course, she doesn't much care as long as it's done quickly, preferably before the next sunset.
How close is it to sunrise at this point?

That sounds good to me!
Why don't you choose between that, and keeping Daikitsu, with the Minor Boon being one free casting of one of that Deity's spells of applicable rank (as if a cleric of your character level), and with Moderate Boon being gaining access to one of that Deity's Domain's granting you temporary access to it's 1st level Domain Spell.
Take your pick, and we'll move forward from there.
The same could go for Fumeyoshi as well.
How close is it to sunrise at this point?
About several hours, let's say.
The same could go for Fumeyoshi as well.
Although part of my decision involves estimating how many more opportunities are available to Lan for repenting, it is my intention for Lan to turn his attitude around, and delving deeper into Fumeyoshi worship doesn't seem helpful. I think he'll stay sort of Fumeiyoshi-curious, and won't actively pursue that.
You guys don't have to go with deities you explicitly worship - let me know if you have any questions about my most recent post!

As a 1 hour activity, a PC may attempt to locate the whereabouts a particular deity's shrine using the Diplomacy, Religion, or Society skill. This is a secret check with the following outcomes:
Critical Success ➤ As success, but you do so in a fraction of the time!
Success ➤ You locate the whereabouts of the shrine, or, confirm that none exists (if looking for an "other")
Failure ➤ You are unable to locate the whereabouts of the shrine, or, unable to confirm that none exists (if looking for an "other")
Critical Failure ➤ As failure, and GM may give you false information.
I was not expecting the research time to be 1 week :grimacing:
Time to politely tell Jubei we won't be sitting tight for that long. Maybe he can come back each day or something?
➤ Vekka Tchakon @ Nethys @ Unknown @ (Arcana)
Very obviously there won't be a Nethys shrine in this town. Vekka sees his exploration of that god as a reflection on magic as a source of being. He doesn't see the need to erect recognizable shrine.
So... the Mother's Coil itself? Dunno.

If we need to have a discussion about pace so that folks don't feel dragged along based on the circumstance of real life, I'm open to that.
In the meantime, I have been doing a some campaign maintenance, such as recording the party's progress and rewards in the Experience Points alias.
Lol you claimed some good aliases.

You are welcome to Craft a Shrine to Nethys in the Mother's Coil when you get some more Downtime!
Thievery here. However, that's only to attempt to carry it without getting bit, I thought. I was thinking of trying to carry it to a nearby river or fire & throwing it in.
No Thievery or Occultism here. I'm starved for skills!

From the Macros we got:
[ dice=Kazuki Sato's Thievery (T)]1d20+8[/dice]
[ dice=Ho Lan's Occultism (T)]1d20+5[/dice]

When we Invoke Blessing at a shrine, does it have to be one player doing both the religion and diplomacy rolls?
If one player fails, can someone else try immediately after that?
Do the consequences of failure rest only on the PC who failed, or do they have a broader effect on the party/community? (If it's a religion check to Recall Knowledge for this one, I'll do that in Gameplay.)
Single roll from choice of skills.
And you'll have to attempt it to find out!
=)
Also, where next?
Eternal Blaze Ironworks (W1)
Willowshore Stables (W2)
Abadar Shrine (W3)
Graveside Manners (W4)
Silvermist Lodges (W5)
Matsuki Estate (W6)
Thrice-Blessed Inn (W7)
Milling Houses (W8)
Nine Ear Shrine (W9)
Lady of Souls (W10)
Industrial District (W12)
Spider Gate (W30)
I know the party had discussed the following options next:
1) Go to Mushroom House (errand to curry favor w/ Granny Hu)
2) Track down Mo Douqiu at Cerulean Tea House
3) Visit known Shrines to obtain Blessed Coins
4) Scope the Governor's "Missing" Estate
5) Go fetch one of the party's Heirlooms
6) ???
Perhaps a third Shrine?

Well, we are South of town. We should find Old" Matsuki, the head honcho and make the Southbankers are safe and secure.
We should check out the Matsuki Estate (W6).
Wasn't Old Matsuki with Granny Hu?
I would like to check the stables, one of the silvermist lodges, or Kazuki's home.
We are going to need a tiebreaker!
1) Matsuki Estate
2) stables
3) Silvermist Lodges
4) Kazuki's home

Auntie Wu's been insistent on checking on her son, Qi, who lives near the Lady of Souls. That can be handled with a quick GM post about her finding them well enough if there's not a way to tie it into the narrative.
She's so close to her stash. So close, and it's just a hop, skip, and a jump from the Lady of Souls. She'd love to pop by to grab a few things. If Kazuki's home is on the way, she'll agree to pop in there.
After that, Matsuki estate seems like her best bet.
A second vote for Matsuki Estate , BUT wanting to stop by a couple locations first.
Gunna wait to hear from the others before preparing the next couple area for you to explore!
Vekka? Lan?
Going to Auntie's is good since it's so close, then Matsuki Estate is fine.
After Matsuki Estate at W6, Stables @ W2, eastern Silvermist lodge @ W5, Kazuki's cabin just south of eastern W5.
Yeah, let's spend some time on Southside. Either the Matsuki estate or Kazuki's cabin is fine. Lan wouldn't have any affinity for Matsuki, so he'd vote for Kazuki's if choosing between those two.
Going to Auntie's is good since it's so close, then Matsuki Estate is fine.
Vekka votes: yay
Gunna get to this in a couple hours.
Auntie Wu's, then Matsuki Estate, then... we can discuss further!
A single Sense Direction check should cover both locations!
A single Sense Direction check should cover both locations!
I am likely out of time today - Auntie Wu, if you wouldn't mind rolling that check (Random Encounters, etc) and I will push us along probably tomorrow!
Hmm, I will remove the Hero Point tracker in the Macros - I am much better keeping track of them by DM Alias:
Kolphan has the least Hero Points (the worst "hoarder" in the group by a mile) and Sato the second-least (second-worst "hoarder"...) - Whom between the two?
Lan doesn't feel like a hero, so he's been saving his Hero Points.
On a more serious note, do we really need a Sense Direction check to go to Auntie Wu's house? She should know the way, no?

Rolling to find shortcuts and avoid wandering monsters!
Okay, nice. I have 3 hero points. That should be plenty.
Although, my die rolls have been pretty bad most of the game.
Posting this twice for emphasis =)

Thanks for doing that gang - makes my GM life easy!
Ah, thank you. I thought that was the case but I found a different page about saves on aonprd. I didn't see the link in combat trackers.
Anyway, fixed the post.
Test... Hello???
Yeah, I'm noticing that after I post the new posts disappears, and is sometimes taking up to a full minute to appear to me again.
I think something is wrong. I never got to take a turn before Vekka's last post. I tried to post in Gameplay but nothing showed up.
I do know the site was down on Saturday and will be down next Saturday for planned maintenance.
Man, I can't wait for them to roll out a new site...
