[PFS2] 1-13 Devil at the Crossroads (GM Watery Soup) (Inactive)

Game Master Watery Soup

Got it. Didn't know if they'd come along with us. Thanks.

So much for "easy mode" in the encounter. But it seemed like the obvious solution given the whole premise of the scenario is wrapped around neutralizing the artifact stops its ongoing effects.

I wonder if when the artifact is eventually taken out of the box, if Linneous will return to part-life :-)

FYI I'm out all day tomorrow, but back in the evening and for the rest of the weekend. So, I don't expect this to be disruptive.

For reference,

--5' height differential--
5' horizontal = 7' movement
10' horizontal = 11' movement <-- distance from Ascendant to Khaul
15' horizontal = 15' movement
20' horizontal = 20' movement
25' horizontal = 25' movement
30' horizontal = 30' movement
35' horizontal = 35' movement
40' horizontal = 40' movement

--15' height differential-- <-- use this for calculating distances from ground to Khaul
5' horizontal = 15' movement
10' horizontal = 18' movement
15' horizontal = 21' movement
20' horizontal = 25' movement
25' horizontal = 29' movement
30' horizontal = 33' movement
35' horizontal = 38' movement
40' horizontal = 42' movement

--20' height differential-- <-- use this for calculating distances from ground to the Ascendant
5' horizontal = 20' movement
10' horizontal = 22' movement
15' horizontal = 25' movement
20' horizontal = 28' movement <-- Ascendant to Farnguy and Nal
25' horizontal = 32' movement <-- Ascendant to Kang, I've been letting it slide but technically, Slow shouldn't reach
30' horizontal = 36' movement
35' horizontal = 40' movement <-- Ascendant to Mindartis
40' horizontal = 44' movement <-- Ascendant to Arfsnarf

--40' height differential-- <-- flying upward is difficult terrain
5' horizontal = 40' movement
10' horizontal = 41' movement
15' horizontal = 42' movement
20' horizontal = 44' movement
25' horizontal = 47' movement
30' horizontal = 50' movement
35' horizontal = 53' movement <-- Mialee's movement
40' horizontal = 56' movement

Thank you!

Ascendant can choose between not hitting Nal, or becoming enfeeble-2 and having the damage on Nal reduced by 8. Note the enfeebled will reduced the second strikes to-hit and damage

I'll wait to post until this is resolved.

The game has been reported, and the Chronicles are HERE.

Please double check that the game shows up on your end. I got some weird "missing character" error that flashed on my screen a split second before everything refreshed.

The game shows up in my sessions.

Thanks for running this WSoup! This was quite the twisty plot!

I forgot my dayjob. Assurance gives me a 20 for a DC19 crafting check, 8days x 8 sp = 64sp.

Bang, Bang, Bang goes the smiths hammer.

Thanks very much for the game. I'm wondering about oaths vs devils at the moment, as they seem to be a recurring foe for Khaul.

Thanks for the game!

Earn Income (Lore: Tanning): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

Chronicle looks good and the game shows up in Nal's sessions.

Thanks for running, GM Watery Soup! I appreciate the peek behind the curtain.

I'll add her income:

Nal spends some time in seedy taverns, eavesdropping on conversations. When she hears a robbery being planned, she slips out to warn the victim. Maybe they'll pay her for the information.

Underworld Lore DC 18: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Failure for 0.64 gp

Or maybe they'll accuse her of working with the robbers. And threaten to beat her to a pulp. <Sigh.> The straighter I go the harder it is to earn a living. I need another Society mission pronto!

Herb: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

This was quite the twisty plot!

Let me dump my thoughts in a bit.

I forgot my dayjob.

Nah, you got it. It's on your Chronicle.

Failure for 0.64 gp

Unfortunately, a nat 1 makes that a Crit Fail, so 0.00 gp. Sorry.

Mindartis, Nal, and Farnguy: I've uploaded revised Chronicles to the same Google Drive.

I need another Society mission pronto!

My original plan was to run another Tier 3-6 after this game finished. That got a little sidetracked because 1-13 ended up splitting into two tables and I ended up picking up the second table as well, which is lagging by several weeks.

Depending on when that game finishes, relative to the next convention, I may run #1-19 or #1-09 / #1-23 doubleheader. If anyone from this game is interested (and willing to wait), I can PM you and reserve seats.

Shadow Plane Lore: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

"This collapsed, cursed tavern seems like the perfect backdrop for me to tell you about the lord and savior of the world, Zon-Kuthon."

I've already played all of those, so someone else can have my seat. Despite Nal wanting action soon, I'm okay with waiting a bit. I'm about to start GMing my first PbP game, and I want to be sure I'm not over-committing myself.

I can be patient. Since Arfsnarf leveled up to 7 I can bring another lower character.

I did 1-9 already and while the doubleheader would be nice, I could only do one with Khaul before he levelled out. Slipp might be okay if they are free.

I've done all the three games already, but thanks for offering!

Mindartis has not played any of those and is open to join either set of runs.

I'll PM Mindartis, Khaul, and PaleDim when the next game is planned. I'm closing this thread, you can PM me with anything else.
