⚔ Battlecry! Playtest @ (#1-01) "The Absalom Initiation" ⚔ (Inactive)

Game Master Hmm

Those fire spells don’t count as Strikes, for purposes of Dutiful Retaliation, correct?

Do you have the text for Strike and Cast a Spell?

Molly, will you please calculate how much damage you and Silver take? Are you both still up?

We succeeded at a basic save against 8 damage, so would that be 4 each?

Basic Saving Throws

Was AFK most of the weekend. Will post ASAP in the morning.

I'll be attending Origins Game Fair starting on Weds, so posting may be slow, but I'll do my best.

Darwin, you did not specify which goblin you attacked. Then you moved. So. Which color?

Ah, sorry. Pink.

Sorry. I'm not sure why it double posted the post.

All good. I will use the first post.

If you sneak in the edit window you can erase the second post.

Sorry, to clarify:

BM: Cast boost eidolon ◆
CS: Stride ◆, Strike x2 ◆ ◆

Your clarification would be appreciated at the time of original posting, yes.

And what I’m telling you is that your first Strike took your foe out, leaving that last “CS” action open with MAP activated.

Gunna get to this later today maybe - else tomorrow?

I can unreliably Treat Wounds. I can also get three Soothes off before we rest, if needed.

I have two 2nd level soothes and three 1st level. Worse case scenario ti
Tiny can go chill at the Grand Lodge and sleep his injuries off.

Darwin can try to heal his wounds, but he only succeeds half the time. Seems like the better option is to heal via Sooth and rest up to regain spells. Any objections?

Sounds good to me

Thanks for handling that, y'all. Captain Kullan doesn't have spells or any healing ability. But even after a night's sleep, he'd stioll be down 7 hp, so would greatly appreciate one shot of healing if there's any left over.

Transfership of this campaign may be underway.

More news when there is some.

Going to leave it de-activated in the interim.

Rainrax would you like to transfer it to me? I can take them the rest of the way.

@rainzax: Sorry to see you depart. Best wishes!

@GM Hmm: Thank you for offering to complete the scenario. Much appreciated. Looking forward to playing with you!

Who all is still here? Can I have a roll call?

I'm still here. I think everyone is likely to get back on board, though we don't all keep to a tight every-day posting schedule.

Present.

As we are about to enter combat, I would love to know what people's exploration activities are. If I do not hear back, I will assume that it is Perception and Search.

As a GM, I do bot, and I would love everyone to have a botting spoiler on their profiles with dice expressions to make it easy for the GM to bot you if you are having a busy day. Captain Kulian already has a minimal one that will make my life easier. If the rest of you can add one, that would be awesome!

I'm sorry Im still here.

Still here. Molly is Casting a Spell (shield). Can her eidolon Scout as well?

Absolutely. That's one of the joys of Eidolons. They can scout while others do other exploration activities!

Also: good to see you, Jasper!

Darwin is searching. Updated profile with that information.

I'll add something to Darwin's profile with botting info later today.

Default exploration activity is Defend.

Botting dice rolls for attacks are at bottom of profile,

So a couple questions, but I did not see this covered in previous discussions:

QUESTION 1: MENTOR BOONS FOR DARWIN?

We are playing high tier because we have 16 challenge points and only four players. Darwin, you should be getting a level bump with an extra 10 hitpoints and +1 to all your skills, attacks, AC and saves.

Is anyone offering a faction mentor boon to Darwin? These boons are free, and would be a great help to him. He can benefit from up to two.

(This document lists the faction boons available.) You can by them in the boon store under game rewards in My Organized Play.

QUESTION 2: ARE YOU ALRIGHT WITH ME JUST MOVING YOU THROUGHOUT THE MAP?

It's a bit faster if I just move you to places where you find things or trouble, but if you want more agency, I'm open to it. In that case, please write a path of travel on the map so that I can keep the pace flowing.

Hmm

Q1: Oops, yes, I have a Rugged Mentor I can offer:

"For any PCs benefiting from a Level Bump and whose levels are lower than yours, you increase the Level Bump’s modifier to saving throws to 2."

Q2: I vote okay. This session has already taken much longer than expected, and there's little to be gained by sandboxing these encounters.

Alright, I'll sweep you all along from room to room!

Any other mentor boons for our first level character?

More Housekeeping

Can you all fill out a fresh RPG Chronicles link for me?

Hmm

I'll work on the level bump ASAP. Thanks for pointing that out. Didn't realize that is a thing. I'm still a PFS newbie.

No problem! As a PFS veteran, I figure it's my job to bring up things that help out the low-level players. I'm just sorry that I didn't catch it sooner.

Hmm

I may have messed something up. There is an optional zombie fight that I was skipping because the zombies don't feel pertinent to soulbound dollmaker plot that I had rolled, but this is a Battlecry playtest. Nomadical, do you want us to do the zombie fight so you can have a chance to try the Commander in combat? I can find a way to go back and do that.

I'm fine either way. I'll leave it to the other party members.

Sorry, super long flying day that got longer with maintenance issues.

No need to do the zombie fight, especially now that the moment has passed. We've done 2 fights so far already.

I'll post in gameplay later this morning (asia time).

We’re fine either way.

Cool! Then I will move you along.

Hmm

Hey all, sorry that I was absent on the Fourth. Turns out holidays can be kind of busy!

Hey all, it's battle time! Let's finish out this scenario with a bang!

Catching up now after a busy weekend.

Hey all, I have really enjoyed having all of you in this game. Now that we are coming to a close, can you all roll your earned income for me? I'd like to be able to start processing chronicle sheets and the like.

Rolling for the level 2 character that this will be Held for until she reaches level 3 (Only 2 more XP to go!)

Sailing Lore : 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

Busy day yesterday. I'll get caught up today.

Black Molly, I have noticed that you are from the Horizon Hunters faction. Do you have the Storied Talent Faction Boon? It would allow you to earn day jobs at your level rather than at your level -2.

@GM Hmm: First, thanks for running the game! Much appreciated.

Second, thanks for the reminder on Flurry. I knew that and somehow forgot!

I do not. How does one acquire such a boon?
