Zero's Q14: The Swordlord's Challenge (Inactive)

Game Master Super Zero

Have you played/GMed/read this before?
Anything unusual about your character I should know?

In the event that a player is expected for more than 24 hours in combat or another situation where we're waiting on that person, I may bot you. I will not use any consumable resources unless asked. If you'd like to share some bot instructions, great!

On the Slides (also linked in the header), you'll find space to add your character information and token and to set a general marching order.
There's some information and images for you there, as well.

Yes I have.

Ami is a gnome with bright blue hair and can be a bit shy. She is a water kineticist and loves to swim.

She also needs levelling up.

I am also a three glyph GM

She's now updated.

Also, owing to a First World spell she can hold her breath for 10 minutes (Deep Breath cantrip). Underwater is her favorite place and her background was Deep Sea Diver which gives her Plane of Water Lore and Underwater Marauder.

That probably won't come up.

Tavin is a Mordant Spire Elf, so he always wears a mask. As a Cavern Elf, he has Darkvision.

He is generally quiet, but can sometimes be found talking to himself, or someone others can't hear. It is hard to tell.

He is a Paladin with Ranged Reprisal and a returning Dagger for his Deity's favored weapon.

I am a four glyph GM.

3 glyphs to share. I have run/played this many times (though I've run it more than I've played it)

oh and it appears I need to update him (level up)...

@Super Zero. Probably not ... no :(

And it looks like it's going to be two glyphs each.

I'll update Lokoloko tonight. playing catchup at work

I've glanced at the scenario but didn't do a deep dive on it.

This is the first time that I've actually played Calvyn, and my first time playing a champion in PbP. Any requests on how I handle my reaction?

I also have 3 glyphs.

Have you played/GMed/read this before?

Anything unusual about your character I should know?

I have played but not GMed this quest.

Having played this character last at an in-person convention, I need a day to update his profile, including preparing spells, which, with Rage of Elements having come out since then, has me pouring through all the lovely new Tree spells.

=)

Tavin, how many more before the 5th one? Do you have all the other requirements already? :)

I have had all of my required evaluations, and I think my last count for remaining is 10? The Paizo web site has me with credit for two more sessions than I really have, so I lose track of the adjustment. It is close to single digits, regardless.

I have played this quest a few times and ran it once.

...are Tavin Sunward (Paladin) and Calvyn Sunglass (Liberator) not affiliated? I was expecting a bit.

Oh, they're different levels. I guess that mad it unlikely.

So that's, uh, 13 Glyphs. That's probably enough, I guess. Y'all have a lot more of these things than I do..

I've never seen this man before in my life.

Botting Spoiler in place, statblock now updated!

Maybe I'll switch to Sight Unseen. I've either played or run this quest more than a dozen times and I've never had Sight Unseen...

GM, are you running Q15 as well?

I was considering it! I'm attending a con in November. Assuming my current pbp games finish before then (which they should), I'll have 29.5 table credits.

It would be nice to pick up that last half table before then, and another two-point Quest would do it.
But several people are running that one right now--and I'm going to be playing in one of them. So I might try something else.

I'm running 3 tables of Q15 and have yet to play it...

Maybe when 2Q16 drops, I'll play this PC for the second half.

@GM Tiger - Have you managed to play 2Q14 i.e. this one yet?

@GM Tiger - Have you managed to play 2Q14 i.e. this one yet?

Sure. A few times. One group I was in resulted in a TPK...

Since I've already mentioned the non-lethal magic IC now... I don't think it's actually possible for a character to die in this one.

Since one of the Calvyn's tenents is "Start Fires" and we have Lokoloko, we could go really off the rails, and have us all die in a burning building.

Lokoloko played B20 and had to be warned NOT to use fire.

"DO NOT USE FIRE! THAT MEANS YOU LOKOLOKO!!"

Btw, to those who have never played with this character before, his name means "crazy" in Filipino...

I suppose I should be awarding a Hero Point about now. Any nominations?

btw, is everyone ok with friendly fire? Lokoloko is a medic so he does splash damage.

I've really been enjoying Awakened Prime's role playing.

Okay with splash damage.

I'll second Awakened Prime's roleplay.

Tavin is OK with Splash damage.

I’ll take my turn in 12 hours. 1am here.

Okay with splash damage.

Low tech lunch post so as not to hold things up!

this week has a bunch of holidays (yesterday was a long weekend). While I'm around, there may be delays in posting. Kinda took the long weekend to chill and recharge also (and slack off) :)

GM,
Your combat tracker prior to me bottling Raph had Dura as “reaction used” - I took that as a deliberate green light to move him around free of reprisal.

Link

Was the tracker wrong?

Yes, I realized I didn't take that out after Dura's turn. Though that's a fair complaint!

I'll say it was used, since that's what I originally told you.

I believe Tavin's tracker wasn't updated either. I do not think he has used his reaction since he last acted.

And he would have if Dura made an AoO, since you'd already said that. Looks like I missed a lot.

Although now he has.

Frost,
Knowing you are swamped, I botted your character a second time, attempting to heal Ami, which seemed important, and expending one of your Hero Points in what I thought would be an easy check.

Sorry for the damage it caused. I will assume you resume control of Raph, unless you say otherwise.

=)

the holidays probably also affected Frost, since we live in the same neck of the woods.

Yes, thank you so much for botting Raph again. I would have done the same, anyway. I will take over him now.

Yeesh... Lokoloko can't hit the broad side of a barn from the inside...

GM,
I forgot to remind that Prime's hybrid study - Inexorable Iron - grants him +2 temporary hit points (THPs) each turn, replenishing as the fight bores on, and would have absorbed some of the most recent blows he took.

I forgot to put reminder text in This Post - after a Halran's strike (here) removed his first layer of THPs - that they had been replenished in time for Halran's brutalization of Prime took place (here).

I'm about to post now, so if you accept the above correction, Prime ought to be +2 HPs up before my next post - I will continue to provide reminder text as this tough fight continues!

It was a max-damage hit and a near max heal.

He hits the first time. After that he can't hit rhenei even when the ysoki is FF...

That comment came after a post with all high rolls, though., which was the confusing part.

And Ami's had a harder time--hang on, attack bonus +5? That should be at least +9. Proficiency +5 at third level, Constitution +4 = +9.

Does Ami have a gate attenuator? I don't see gear on you sheet.

No not yet. Add that to the list of stuff to get.

As for the equipment, looks like I forgot to copy & paste it in. I'll fix that once I get to my desktop with the master and Pathbuilder files.

Better go through all her Chronicles too.

I've added a link to the master sheet on her profile as well as fixing several errors - things got heightened at level three, including the attack bonus.

(I don't believe Awakened Prime has an AoO, but if so this provokes it)

Apoc does not have Reactive Strike, no.

Speaking of which, I believe Halran has already used his reaction - whether he has or not changes my entire turn!
