GM Otha’s Mysteries Under Moonlight Campaign

Game Master Otha

It does not…sorry, I fat-fingered a 9 instead of a zero…that’s a near miss…I’ll remove the damage in my next post…thanks for catching that…

Noticed Ushi and Patchouli posted almost simultaneously to my last post and I missed ‘em. I moved Patchouli 5’ over and I’ll post the results of Ushi’s spell shortly…

Sorry, weekend got away from me, I’ll bot Greyveil this afternoon…

I got to attend Gary Con this year, sorta last minute. Sorry to not post. Internet at the air b&b was sketchy and I seldom got back to the room before midnight.

Ah, Gary Con. Do they have 1e game this year?
Last year there was a Gary Con Online but didn't advertise it at all, so obviously no one sign up for games.

There were a few 1e games. I played two and both were good but we had 3 players at 1 table and 4 at the other. I was told next year 1e would not be offered. - not enough interest. Plenty of 2e and of course a lot more of AD&D 5e, most of which was the new 2024 edition, which I also played. There were as many non-Adventure League as Adventure League games. I played two AL Ravenloft games with the author of those mods and they were fantastic. And with all the pathfinder and 5e games going on, that was a small fraction of total games. So many good choices. So many big names in the industry there. I heard about one room of all cthulhu games that was played in darkness the entire time. Everyone one of those flickering electric tea lights.

That’s a wrap for the first scenario! Thanks for sticking with it and I’ll have your Chronicles out in a day or two…

I’m assuming everyone is sticking around for the sequel to this? Gimme ‘bout a week to prep and we’ll get that underway…

Thank you for running! Patchouli will stay for the sequel, and take slow advancement speed for both.

Ushi is good to go!

Yep! I may want to do some shopping between adventures, but I'd love to continue. Sadly I'll still be very under leveled, but oh well...

I really wanna know what this "Celestial Lycanthropy" does, it sounds very cool. Levin will accept it, whatever it is.

Absolutely:

Celestial Lycanthropy: You have received a blessing from the azata Luvyire that has imbued you with a spark of celestial energy, which will transform you into a celestial werewolf when the time is right. You can check the box that precedes this boon to gain a portion of that power, gaining resistance 5 to acid, cold, and electricity for 1 hour. This boon will provide additional benefits in a future scenario.

Cool boon, Patchouli will accept it

So thus far, those accepting the boon:

Levin
Patchouli

Ushi will also accept it.

Day Job take 10: 10 + 13 + 2 = 25 = 50gp

Validated Appraiser: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34

Can't get better than that!

Waki will accept for what is worth.

sleight of hand: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Okie doke, just waiting on Greyveil; hope to get the chronicles out tomorrow…

Day Job, craft Alchemy: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 35

Greyveil will accept the boon.

For part 2, are we be continue using this campaign thread or are we starting a new one?

We’ll just keep on with this one, it’ll be easier that way…

Working on the chronicles…

OK. Cool. Greyveil will accept. To explain my caution just this past weekend I played a Ravenloft mod where we found a pendant with werewolf tooth on it. You can change into a werewolf with it but if you choose do so you become chaotic evil and loose that character at the end of that scenario.

Wow, that is... hardcore.

I'm aware of similar cases in PFS, but they are not easy to accidentally walk into. And atonement fixes most of them.

To be clear, if you used this power to "wolf out" you as the player understood the consequences. It would be a chance to role play to note if the character understood. Maybe a good way to retire a character. In Adventure League you can advance very fast (u car start at 5th if you want and level every time you play. For me at least this means less attachment to any one character.

Oh and speaking of leveling, is the next mod the same level range?

Yes, it is the same (3-7)…

And I’ll have your Chronicles to you today…

Chronicles are here:

Mysteries Under Moonlight 1 Chronicles

Lemme know if there are any issues and I’ll fix ‘em as fast as I can…

Mine looks great!

Patchouli is going slow advancement

Minor issue, my PFS # is 89635 not 88635. (I can't find where I reported it, I might've typed it wrong.)

Minor issue, my PFS # is 89635 not 88635. (I can't find where I reported it, I might've typed it wrong.)

It has 88 as the first two digits (on page 1 here) but no worries, I can fix it in the morning (when I can edit it) and repost…

Patchouli is going slow advancement

By that I mean Patchouli should be getting the half of everything (except Day Job): 0.5xp, 1 prestige point, and 1657gp instead. Could you please adjust the chronicle sheet to reflect that?

Questions: did we by any chance looted any scroll during the adventure? Patchouli's inquisitor archetype gave her a book (which hits really hard) that act as spellbook as well, so I'm looking for the opportunity to add spells into it.

Here's Patchouli's spellbook if our alchemist want to grab a spell or two:
1st lvl: Divine Favor, Shield of Faith, Bless, Heighten Awareness, Protection from Evil, Remove Fear, Expeditious Retreat, True Strike, Litany of Weakness, Keep Watch, Gorum’s Armor, Comprehend Languages, Alarm
2nd lvl: Invisibility, Resist Energy, Bloodhound, Honeyed Tongue, Stricken Heart, Tongue, See Invisibility
3rd lvl: Dispel Magic, Daylight
4th lvl: Stoneskin, Fear
5th lvl: Break Enchantment, Dismissal

Yep, I missed that, my bad; I’ll fix that tomorrow morning as well and repost…

I don’t recall any…but I’ll double-check…

Thanks Patchouli. I can copy both Bloodhound and Tongues, and will, even though they are both 3rd level to me. I'll also copy Stoneskin as a 4th level spell. Much appreciated. Nice that you get access to these spells early. :)

Levin & Patchouli check this link again please, I updated your Chronicles:

Mysteries Under Moonlight 1 Chronicles

[dice=Day Job take 10]10+13+2 = 50gp

Did we get double day job gold or did we have a typo XD

I didn’t see anything definitive on that so I let it be…

Looks perfect!

Thanks

I’ll start prepping in earnest for part 2 this weekend; right now I’m targeting a Wednesday start, give or take, will let you know as soon as I do…

Everything’s on schedule for a Wednesday start, so I’ll make my opening post tomorrow, if everyone’s good with that…

Here’s the link to the new slide deck:

Mysteries Under Moonlight

Make sure you can hit it; I copied over the icons and initiative/perception stats so make any changes to those if needed…

Let me know if there are any issues with the slides…

Seems to be working for me.

When I click it, it seems to be a pptx file that's in presentation mode. In other words, I can't edit text nor move my token.

This link is what I follow.

I can view it, but I can't edit it. (Not that I need to right now, my stuff is all the same.)

This link is what I follow.

Looks like the docs.google.com/file/ will give us what me and Levin are seeing, and docs.google.com/presentation/ will bring us to the editable slides.

Got it set for edit, don’t know why it’s such a pain. Try this link instead:

Mysteries Under Moonlight

Works!

So it begins…

Yep, I missed that, my bad; I’ll fix that tomorrow morning as well and repost…

I don’t recall any…but I’ll double-check…

Still waiting for scrolls check up from part 1

Patchouli prepared spells:
Detect Magic, Create Water, Read Magic, Guidance
Shield of Faith, Shield of Faith, Remove Fear, Expeditious Retreat, Expeditious Retreat
Bloodhound,Resist Energy, See Invisibility

The only scroll was the scroll of restoration that the priests gave you at the Cenotaph…
