Zero's #4-07: A Most Wondrous Exchange! (Inactive)

Game Master Super Zero

Any GM Glyphs to share?
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.

Make sure there's a character sheet accessible in your profile.

It looks like we're in high tier with a few minimum-level characters. Remember the level 5s get a level bump, and they can each choose two of the Mentor Boons their higher-level teammates have. So share your Mentor Boons too! (And go purchase them if you haven't. They're free, you just need 20 Reputation with any one faction!)

Have you played this before? Like many Repeatable scenarios, it has some variables so that it plays a little differently each time. If you remember how things played out before, let me know by spoiler boxes or PM and I'll try to make sure you see something different.

Feel free to start introducing your characters.

Three glyphs to share. I've played and GMed this but it's been a while.

4 glyphs. So we all start with 2.

Played this for gameday last year. But that's it

Isaku has Protective Mentor (Admired):

While working with less experienced Pathfinder allies, you shield your more fragile wards from the threat of death. For any PCs benefiting from a Level Bump and whose levels are lower than yours, you increase their current and maximum Hit Points by an additional amount equal to 3 times your Radiant Oath reputation tier (Liked = 1, Admired = 2, Revered = 3).

Normal: A Level Bump increases a PC’s Hit Points by 10% or 10, whichever is higher.

Any chance one or both of the lvl 8s could bring a lower level character to get to low tier so us lvl 5 melee don't get slaughtered? I'd rather not play up.

GM, the RPG Chronicles link goes to the slides...

I have a gap between levels 5 and 8 so I don't have anyone else in tier. But I don't mind dropping to let a lower level character in if Anri's player doesn't have a lower level option.

Looking at the Lodge recruitment, Isaku posted about maybe running another table. Perhaps we could have a low and high tier table to balance things out better?

Bringing the following Mentor Boon to the table:

Combat Mentor
While working with less experienced Pathfinder allies, you provide pointers and lead drills that ensure your newer colleagues’ attacks strike true. For any PCs benefiting from a Level Bump and whose levels are lower than yours, you increase the Level Bump’s modifier to attack rolls to 2.

GM just a head's up. I'm also prepping this so I'll let the others take the lead...

Holding off on another GM post while seating is sorted out. If Kernel Klank switches tables we'll be more solidly high tier. Does Yakuthiel want to as well?

GM, the RPG Chronicles link goes to the slides...

Whoops. Thank you for pointing it out, should be fixed now.

I'm going to swap tables. Its just not fun playing up as a tank character. Thanks GM Super Zero and GM Tiger for your patience!

In the future, Kernal Klank, you might reconsider asking multiple players to change their characters - it is plain rude.

=)

For the record I only intentionally made one (1) pun.

Who's claiming the construct key? That person does get a free RK against these enemies.

Who wants it?

How about 1d4 ⇒ 2 Isaku Beru?

Do you have the link?

I got the eyepiece. I can take the key as well if nobody else wants it...

Ok. How about 1d4 ⇒ 2 Zarina?

Well if nobody else wants it ...

Level 5's at this table can add +2 to their attack rolls if they take Anri as their Mentor.

(+1 if they take other mentors, per normal rules for Level Bump).

=)

GM,

Anri appears to have healed (63 to 78) from an unknown source?

Or a simple mistake in your tracker?

Uh... huh. I have no idea how I did that.

Checked the map before Area damage - no allies in the way at time of posting.

=)

Edit:

...Orange and Pink? They're down, and I took their tokens off the map. One Zarina disabled non-lethally with the construct key and the other is destroyed. Directing that at Green?

Fixed. Clockwork Mage.

=)

I know it's kind of a high AC for you to hit, but that's uncanny.

GM - Anri would like to swap around a few spells - after healing herself (10 minutes) - is there any additional time to make so?

Sure. And take a Hero Point, too.

Thanks GM!

Out of time for the moment, but totally down to push onto quest two.

Going to extend my healing time from 10 minutes to 1 hour, and shuffle around some spells using Substitution thesis.

Probably later tonight!

Sorry I'm bringing you down, but Yakuthiel is not designed for social encounters.

There is Treasure Bundle Insurance.

=)

You're really not, anyway. The group is doing very well overall.

I think this one may have taken into account the assumption that somebody's going to be untrained in all of the listed skills and critically fail a few times.

That's me! Untrained except for fightin'

Downtime activity:

Performing an act of strength and dexterity: Performance: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

A little soon for that yet, though no harm in doing it early.

Did we take the night off? Because Isaku's spells should be back

What do others think?

GM said there is one possible night off.

Oh, and Hero Point for Yakuthiel.

Zarina, you must choose someone to Aid.

Who is going to use the Choker of Elocution?

Zarina, you must choose someone to Aid.

Yakuthiel, you must choose someone to Aid.

Yakuthiel, here are the rules for Level Bump, which I think your character seems to be ignoring altogether.

And one more Hero Point. Last one. Any nominations?

My vote is for Anri.

Her descriptions of her actions and the environment have been excellent.

Good

Anri as well

I was going to vote for Zabu for the removal of the book hogger.

[dice=Performance/Religion, Untrained, same mod, to Aid]d20+1

You don't have to accept Isaku's bumbling attempt

Actually, we do.

Aid

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.

GM,
What skills can we use to identify these creatures?

Occultism and... let's say Occultism.

Dreams of Doom don't technically have any creature type trait that would give them an official skill. And they're a variant of a Betiary monster, but the original doesn't have one either.

Occultism makes sense, though. Or a Lore related to dreams or nightmares, perhaps.

Yakuthiel, here are the rules for Level Bump, which I think your character seems to be ignoring altogether.

Yakuthiel, assuming you have master proficiency in your weapon, you are missing out on +2 of your attack bonus by ignoring the Level Bump from Combat Mentor - possibly the difference between a hit and a crit.

Dang it!

I forgot again.

GM, let me know if you would like me to roll instead?

For RK checks? Feel free, if you'd prefer. You can put the roll in a spoiler box to keep it secret.

But that wouldn't have made a difference to me forgetting to resolve it for you.
I'm a little under the weather right now. Probably just not fully with it.

That's 18 slashing, 12 acid, and 6 force.

GM, assuming a critical hit, it 10/6/3 doubled to 20 slashing, 12 acid, and 6 force, before resistance, by my math.

Does that get Anri that last hit point!?

=)

...huh. Did you originally type +3 and then correct it to +4?
I feel like I noticed that +3 looked wrong and meant to double-check it. But then didn't.

Did I mention that I seem to have a low fever?

Anyway, yes. Blue is down after that crit.
