Hey Folks,
I have filled in the links, that I would hope that you could fill in:
- Macro sheet - it is for secret checks and initiatiative
- Presentation - with your avatars + ordering if by any chance there would be combats
- RPG Chronicles - for reporting purpose
Please let me know when you fill them in, so that I don't have to chase you down ;)
==============
It is a pleasure to have you all at my table, I know each and every one of you (altho I did not GM for everyone yet ;)).
Ok All, the rules of the house:
- I expect you to post daily from monday to friday, ideally also once through the weekend (but this is nice to have).*
I will do my best to follow that rule, but some time ago I switched jobs and moved to a different country, and I get those periods of time when everything is chaotic. As a result I am not GM'ing as much as I did before (and to be frank I was never GM'ing a lot):
- Be nice and respectful towards the other players/gm. We are all here to have fun, so lets have it
- Feel free to ask questions and challenge me on my decisions. I am not an oracle when it comes to rules so feel free to raise your concerns
- I am running fights in block initiatives, I treat init rolls as a guidance and then cluster players together, sometimes I will move a bad guy up or down, just to not have a lot of back and forth between PCs and enemies => so that we can wrap up rounds during one day.
- For secret checks you can either roll them yourselves (put them in the spoiler and don't peek) or ask me to do them.
Above all, welcome all! The game starts closer to end of this week, if I feel like it I may set up a scene for you to introduce yourselves

Ok folks, I made the first post. I will get this table to get started, please make sure to fill in all of the details as I don't like chasing people down for that ;) I will give you at least few posts before we go into the portal and purchases are no more possible.
- For all of those that played this scenario before, I would prefer if you participated in the scenario, I am not sure if there are many details of scenario that would give you an edge, so just try to think what your PC would do in given situation without knowing what you know ;)

Today my network went down, and I have an emergency with my pet. As a result for the next 48 h I may not be able to post.
When it rains, it pours. :( Wishing you the best of luck with your pet, GM Farol!

I will push the game forwards, the table seems to have 4 glyphs, so please select who gets 2 hero points (or who does not)
I propose the 4 currently active players receive them: Patrick, Fortiva, Zabu, and Jeeves
Maybe Fortiva or Zabu have a glyph for Kagan, if he turns up at a later date? Fair enough?

![]() |

No glyphs here.

![]() |

So we have 4 glyphs for 4 players. Everyone starts with 2?
Players -- I'll post soon, but in this situation, if your characters wanna officially delay for Jeeves, I'll get Courageous Anthem (Inspire Courage) up for +1's to your attacks/damage.
I'm sure if you just put something in your post about "delaying for the bard", our GM will handle posts accordingly, even if you post first.

...And now I'm finally here, having dealt with all rush job. I apologize again, a whole week (including weekends) with almost no sleep, with flights and a ton of work. I didn't expect it to be so hard and planned the time and workload so damn badly. I lied to myself everyday that I would find time in the evening, at the airport etc, and of course it was self-deception. Now this period is over and a new one like this is not expected in the near future.
I apologize to all the players for delaying you and of course a special apology to GM Farol. This is not how I wanted to start my first game at your table, my friend.
> I will move you to the other table. As I want to move this game forwards
Thanks for the second chance...

GM Farol |

Just to leave a comment, I DM'ed with Kagan on discord and we concluded that he will join the other table, to give him more time to get his feet on the ground, and start properly this scenario.
So it is 4 of you, 2 hero points each. for those who haven't posted, please let me know what were their provisions.
Good luck and roll high!

Took potions for provisions, and bought some bombs 'between' scenarios.
Then we were handed more of the latter. ;)

I love games at this level...
Blue: -224 HP but still going!!!

Haha. True enough. Thought Patrick might try to snag the glory and finish it off before it gets another crack at us.
And just a question for Patrick: Jeeves' Courageous Anthem only emanates 60'. Did you intend to go beyond that? Within the aura, the +1 damage extends to spell damage too.

![]() |

Patrick and Fortiva -- Just a reminder (and I apologize for being so annoying about this): don't forget the +1 damage from Courageous Anthem. It applies to all damage rolls as long as you're within the 60' emanation. Which you both are.

![]() |

True, true. Bombs just get in one's head as flat damage - I even forgot they're not thrown weapons but pure ranged, so they get Sneak.

![]() |

Are the creatures still 50' up?
Sounds like they swooped down to grab, but are probably still equal to each other in elevation?

![]() |

I got an idea ... grab on and I'll Dimension Door us to the portal.
Sorry, Dimension Door / Translocate doesn't work that way:
"You instantly transport yourself and any items you're wearing and holding from your current space to an unoccupied space within range you can see. If this would bring another creature with you—even if you're carrying it in an extradimensional container—the spell is lost."
![]() |

If Fortiva wants to officially delay for Jeeves, he'll have Courageous Anthem up for +1 / +1. But I won't be able to post for about 6 hours.

![]() |

I don't think Courageous Anthem affects Force Barrage
Why do you think that? From Courageous Anthem: "You and all allies in the area gain a +1 status bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, and saves against fear effects."
Any melee/spell that includes damage rolls count.

Hey Folks, and that would be it! Thank you all for playing, I enjoyed this game, it is reported (and I marked that Jeeves, Patrick + Fortiva used replay),
Plese check if everything is ok.
Thank you all for playing, I hope that you enjoyed the scenario, it took us below 2 months to finish it, which I consider a good time.

Chronicle looks good, GM Farol. Thanks for running!
That really is a fun scenario. Thanks for being an active GM and posting descriptive turns -- esp in battle. And it was fun playing with such a well-rounded group.
Downtime, Earned Income
Performance +VirtPerf +Mask, DC 24: 1d20 + 21 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 21 + 2 + 2 = 30
Performance 8th-level task. Success => 3gp x 8 => 24gp
P.S. Thanks to everyone for putting up with the bad bardic poetry! Just like to have a little extra fun when I play bards in PbP games.
