4-05 The Arclord Who Never Was:



2-23 (Thread|Slides) ◆◇↺ | 4-05 (Thread|>Slides<)

I'm awake between 8 am to 10 pm EDT (UTC-4 hours) so roughly 1300 to 0300 hours, GMT.)

Howdy. If you're a member of one of my games, then here are a few rules I'd like you to follow:

1. Please post at least once a day.
2. Under your name, please add a stat block. Most important stats:

- Hit Points
- AC
- Saving Throws
- Perception Bonus

3. Any skill with the Secret tag should be rolled privately. If I show the DC, feel free to make the roll openly. Otherwise, there are 2 ways to do this in my games:

- You can say which skill and which bonus you want to apply. (Example: "I use Occultism +5 to investigate the skull's mystic origin.")
- Or you spoiler your dice roll and everyone sticks to the honor system of not opening it.

Example Occultism roll:
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Get your >Pathfinder Provisions<

Sorry for the delay! Lots going on this week.

Desmond is level 4. Is that ok with those lower level if we have to play up?

Also Desmond has played 4-10. Is it ok if I only join for the first game?

You can choose to play both games, or just the first, or spend a replay to do both. If the table isn't legal size for 4-10, I'll either play an NPC or try to recruit for 4-10 only.

If someone needs to play up Eddie offers this mentor boon, not the best but better than nothing.

Worldly Mentor (Verdant Wheel): While working with less experienced Pathfinder allies, you help your less experienced colleagues recognize danger and withstand danger. For any PCs benefiting from a Level Bump and whose levels are lower than yours, you increase the Level Bump’s modifier to Perception checks and Initiative rolls to 2. Normal: A Level Bump increases a PC’s Perception modifier by 1. Special: A PC can only benefit from two mentor boons.

Hey sorry for the late check-in. Been a busy week, and also need to do up the character on paizo. Will get it up and post by end of today. And oh, Takumi is also L4.

Please nominate 2 PCs to get Hero Points. You can post openly, or put it in a spoiler, or PM me.

I'll try to give the points in 48 hours.

It's time for 2 more Hero Points.

Please Post, Spoiler or PM me your nominations. If you have a particularly compelling reason why, feel free to post that as well.

We are nearing the finale. If you have any downtime activity you'd like me to add to your chronicle, please post it (and a downtime roll if applicable.)

Eddie and Takumi

Also, do we each make three checks, or does the party as a whole make three checks?


2-23 (Thread|Slides) ◆◇↺ | 4-05 (Thread|>Slides<)

Each PC makes 3 checks, so I would expect a total of 15 attempts.

I'm going to take it that either Takumi or Shinju can make the attempts, but not both.

Eddie finds their usual strategy for earning extra shinies doesn't work in this magical city. Apparently leshies are either too common or just too uninteresting to be monetized.

Takumi gets a Hero Point.

Landon gets a Hero Point.

Alyreha has recovered some of her arcane magic and will cast it during this battle. This is thanks to your research at the library.

Before Round 1, 2 of you are Quickened thanks to >Haste<. Please designate who will be hasted.

She will prefer whoever is holding her (probably Desmond as he volunteered to hold her yesterday.)

If you post your turn without a hasted action I'm going to assume you didn't choose to be hasted.

So Desmond has played 4-10 before. However, I'd love to continue playing if you'll allow me or if that's possible. I don't know if it's allowed for me just to not take any credit.


2-23 (Thread|Slides) ◆◇↺ | 4-05 (Thread|>Slides<)

For replaying, you have >a few options<:
- You can spend 40 Achievement Points to replay an old scenario (It's named "Pathfinder Society (second edition) Replay")
- If I don't have enough PCs at the table and the alternative is "we don't play" then you can play for no credit.

Once we finish 4-05, if I don't have a legal table I will ask for more players.

I've also played 4-10 but on a different character. Will likely just spend the Achievement Points to continue.

I understand that while there are options to replay a scenario, they need to be with different characters.

Quote:

Adventures with the Repeatable tag: Adventures with the Repeatable tag can be played any number of times, with a different character each time...

Granted and purchased Replays: ... Each granted or purchased Replay allows you to play an adventure you have already played as though that adventure had the Repeatable tag.

Was Blue the one who grabbed the skull? If so, wouldn't that have been considered a hostile action?

Separately, Takumi can cast Revealing Light, and without being metagamey, we already know the location of Blue and Green. But I would also catch Desmond and Eddie so not so if that's such a good idea.


2-23 (Thread|Slides) ◆◇↺ | 4-05 (Thread|>Slides<)

Alyreha is in an odd situation. She's Tiny in size so I could see Blue trying to Steal her. However I can also see Alyreha getting grappled, and it dropping invisibility because grapples are hostile. But if Invisibility would have dropped, I also would have started Blue further away, as he would grab the skull and start running.

How about I make Blue Concealed instead of Hidden? The effect will end at the start of Blue's next turn.


2-23 (Thread|Slides) ◆◇↺ | 4-05 (Thread|>Slides<)

Primary Objective
The PCs fulfill their primary objective if they complete all parts of the investigation and prevent the enemy forces from escaping Nexus House onto the street with the skull.

Secondary and Faction Missions Accomplished:

Vigilant Seal Faction Mission
The Vigilant Seal is far more concerned that information regarding Alyreha remains with trusted personnel only. If the Pathfinders earned Vrisk’s arcane sigil and avoided sharing information about the skull or true name magic with any non-Pathfinders besides Vrisk, each PC earns 2 additional Reputation with the Vigilant Seal faction.

Secondary Objectives
accomplish 4 or more of the following tasks:
- obtain at least 4 memories before leaving the Starry-Eyed Conservatorium,
- resolve the encounter at the Sunmist Stele without violence
- reach Library Threshold 2 at Nexus House
- succeed at the Vigilant Seal faction mission.

Secondary Mission Objectives not reached:

The Envoy’s Alliance hopes to establish a broad spectrum of new allies in Quantium. If the Pathfinders earned (and kept) the respect of the gang and their honorary badges while also not destroying Vrisk, each PC earns 2 additional Reputation with the Envoy’s Alliance faction.

- resolve the encounter at Scorpia’s Grotto without violence,
- succeed at the Envoy’s Alliance faction mission

I'll post again with a sign up sheet for 4-10. If we have 3 or fewer players I'll look for more, or I'll make GM NPC.

So Desmond can't play given that he has already played 4-10. If there was a way for him to play for no credit, I would do that

Barring that, I will bow out so someone else can join.

Either way, thanks for the great game, everyone!

Edit: Is 66.4gp correct? Way higher than previous chronicles I've gotten, but Des is now 4th level.


2-23 (Thread|Slides) ◆◇↺ | 4-05 (Thread|>Slides<)

64 gp should be the correct amount for a level 4 character. Then you got 2.4 more from your Earn Income check.


2-23 (Thread|Slides) ◆◇↺ | 4-05 (Thread|>Slides<)

Desmond, hold off on signing up until we can get a final count. Sounds like Landon and Eddie's player will come back. Still waiting on Takumi and Nykor. I'll deactivate any players who aren't moving on to 4-10.

I have added the RPG Chronicles sign up sheet for 4-10. We'll continue using this thread for the scenario.

Sorry just got back from my vacation, suffering from jet lag, and the dreaded back to work.

Sorry I missed much of the later part. I'm on for 4-10. Will use ACP for a replay.

Takumi, your PFS number refers to a different character, Panarugathom. Is it OK if I report to that ID?

Yes, it's ok. That was the original character I created but have since rebuilt.
