[Gameday XIII]GM 7thGate's Oath of the Overwatched #9-17 (Inactive)

Game Master 7thGate

Welcome to Oath of the Overwatched for Gameday XIII! This is a first come, first serve signup game as part of Gameday XIII, so if you have signed up for this game in the Gameday XIII Event Listing sheet please feel free to dot and delete in Gameplay, and fill out your info at RPG Chronicles Link

Once you're here, let me know a bit about your character; what are they like, what are their usual roles in a party, and do they have any uncommon rules interactions or unusual abilities I should brush up on?

I'm looking forward to playing with all of you, hopefully it will be a fun time!

Thanks for running this. Been quite awhile since I played Omar. Nothing much unusual as a standard skald build. Rage and spell kenning in the less common areas.

Looking forward to seeing how the Party melds with all the different classes and roles. :)

Looks like you've got one spot left so I'm going to spend a replay on this. Plus this PC has already played Echoes of the Overwatched.

Triix is a Star Sorceress and a lashunta looking for a way home.

Also needs levelling up.

The Rock is your standard Druid build able to cast and mix it up pretty well in melee. He will be wild shaped pretty well all the time while adventuring.

He is accompanied by his T-Rex companion Ginger. She likes nature walks, chew toys and trying to sneak up on party members.

Did we figure out what tier we are? I picked my 7th but could go higher or lower PC if needed.

And we're live! First post is up, so go ahead with your intro when you're ready.

I think we're APL 7, so high tier, 4 player adjustment as long as we have all 6 players from the signup sheet with the character they are signed up as.

I got the slides linked from my profile and the campaign info; go ahead and fill out slide 2 with your perception/initiative/sense motive rolls, as well as any tokens for you or animal companions/familiars.

Sounds good. Omar has not played either of the other two scenarios.

We have one more person signed up who hasn't checked in yet, Dexter. I PMed them to let them know the game has started. I'll give them a day to see if they're able to make it, then get the mission kicked off tomorrow night.

Who has matching skills for this challenge? I could try Craft (Weapons) +4, Knowledge (engineering) +5, Spellcraft +5 and Survival +6.

I am ok with ruling this as allowing a take 10. Occult ritual rules have a clause about not being able to take 10/20 even with abilities, but they're also way more complex than the description for this in the adventure, so I'll treat this as more of a standard set of skill checks and allow it.

I don't think every character can do a ritual on a take 10 though, unless I'm missing more long duration skill buffs. To be used as a boost here, the effect needs to last the 20 minutes without needing actions (since you're busy conduction the ritual).

Here's what I have in terms of the rituals people can pass on a take 10:

Orenjii: Sever, Rebuke, Attune
Dexter: Rebuke
The Rock: Sever, Rebuke
Omar: None (All 3 if he can get a +1 to skills effect that stacks with heroism and lasts 20+ minutes, or uses lore master)
Triix: Sever, Rebuke, Attune
Jaakko: None

You can choose Rebuke the Starry Void and one of the other two rituals in 20 minutes, then have the option to finish the last one in another 20 if you want. You can also have someone investigate section 5, since Orenjii got stuck there, or try and do something else for the time.

Sounds good, GM.

If UMD can take-10 then Omar can help there (+14 not counting heroism). Otherwise, he will have to use Lore Master on any of the above.

So it looks like one option is:
* Orenjii & Triix: Attune
* Dexter & The Rock: Rebuke
* Omar & Jaakko(roll) : Sever or search #5

UMD can't be aided or apply take 10.

Ok wasn’t sure. Omar would still have lore master but Jaakko would have to roll.

We have the skill sets to complete the three rituals but not in one twenty minute time block.

I suggest:

Time Block 1:

Ritual: Rebuke - The Rock, Dexter. Sever - Orenjii, Triix.

Omar, Jaakko - Investigate area #5.

Time Block 2:

Ritual: Attune - Orenjii, Triix.

Everyone else investigate area #5

Works for me…then guarantees success on all 3 rituals at the price of 20 extra minutes.

I ended up getting in too late tonight to get this put together, but should be able to move us along on my lunch break tomorrow. Jaakko, I think you still need to accept healing if you want it. I'll assume you follow along the ramps between islands and go to the next encounter unless someone wants to take a different approach.

Yes, just keep following the same path to the next area sounds good.

Perform (Oratory): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Thanks for running!

Does Ralzeros count as a hostage or captive for the purpose of Faction goals?

GM, did we complete this Faction Journal Card mission?

Defeat an outsider that has the evil subtype or an undead creature whose CR is at least equal to your character level.

Also, Profession: Sustainability Consultant + MW tool: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 12 + 2 = 33

Also also, thanks for a great game all!

Profession:Merchant, Minimum 50 gold: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 10 + 2 = 22

Minimum 50 Gold on day job due to Exchange Boon

Thanks GM 7thGate for running. :)

perform stage magic: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

Thanks for running.

Agreed - fun times, GM!

perform: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

Jaakko -- I would say yes, he would count as a captive
Dexter -- No, there are a lot of abberrations, but no undead or outsiders. Everything was from the prime material plane...just weird.

Dexter and Orenjii, would you be able to fill out the RPG Chronicles link from the first post in discussion? This is my first time using RPG Chronicles from the GM side, but I think I need all of your info in there to get the Chronicles generated.

Done, sorry.

What about this FJC? Did Ralzeros or the dragon qualify?

Accept the surrender of an enemy combatant (other than an evil outsider or undead creature), and ensure his fair treatment until he can safely be released, ransomed, or delivered to authorities for justice. Alternatively, allow such an enemy combatant with no means of escape to flee without further harm.

I think Daosvaria would count for that one.

Thanks Orenjii!

Filling this out, I forgot about boons. Everyone can roll a d20 for a chance to win, 1 or 20 wins a boon.

Boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 12

Orenjii, you can also roll a day job check if you have one.

Bewn?: 1d20 ⇒ 8

Boon roll: 1d20 ⇒ 5

Boon 1d20 ⇒ 9

boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 15

boon: 1d20 ⇒ 17

Boon: 1d20 ⇒ 9
Craft (Woodworking): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21

I have the chronicles up here on google drive; please let me know if there are any issues: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1R84VaHXmMMyh-EarYJUyHMp_8QXqCOud?us p=sharing

Thanks for playing everyone, I hope you all had a good time!

Got the chronicle, looks great. Thanks all for playing.

GM, could you mark this game inactive? Thanks!

Yes, thanks again - was a great group.
