Can you please deactivate the character called Samantha "Sam" Seed? That was a character I was using for an AP and the prototype for the current one. Sorry for the confusion.

Before we get into combat, back during preparations, I could have etched 1 rune for someone. Gamble etched 1 of his 2 etchings on his own weapon.

Edge Points (EP) When a PC fails or critically fails a check to overcome an obstacle or a complication, they can spend an Edge Point to succeed instead. You have 8 Edge Points remaining.

I think Edge Points as a party pool are tough to use in PbP without the dynamic of a F2F table and with no one wanting to burn a resource that isn’t designated as “theirs.” So how about this. Everyone has 1 Edge Point to use for their own Failures. That leaves 3. One extra goes to Sam for having burned thru 2 Hero Points already and being the lowest level. The other two go to:

PCs Alphabetically exc Sam: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 1) = 5

Schek and Blackfeather Jack.

And since they were originally earned as a party resource, you're free to give yours to other party members. Either way, I'm just hoping to encourage you to use them.

We'll use them when I get the chance in this infiltration part. So far Schek is doing good.

Samantha: we have a pool of edge points (6 left) that you can spend one on to turn your fail into a success without even needing to roll one. Please use an edge points.

If not for some reason, I’ll accept one from the pool to use.

Can Jack retroactively use an Edge point for the Stealth?

I'd allow it in order to save your Hero Point for later. And you have enough Edge Points that it (probably) won't matter to use one to cover that earlier Stealth failure. Edge Points are not part of the usual resource tracking, and they're hard to remember especially in PBP.

Just a note while we wait for Sam.

Gamble isn't Frightened. Yet.

The ability takes an action on the Adjutant's turn and only affects those within 30 feet right then. At the time he used it, that only included Sam.

It's not an Aura per se. It's not a constant effect except for those already affected AND still within 30 feet.

Also, he has to renew it each turn. When his turn comes around, he wouldn't have any effect on someone outside 30 feet. If he moves away from Sam, then on her turn the Frightened would decrease. Likewise, if Sam isn't still within 30 feet of him at the end of her turn, her Frightened would end normally.

@Mirandiel: Related to Thrall attacks and actions.

Create Thrall says "When you cast the spell, you can have up to one thrall created by this spell make a melee unarmed Strike using your spell attack modifier for the attack roll."

So the Thrall attacks when it is created. When the first one attacked, the second one didn't yet exist, so Thrall #1 doesn't benefit from Flanking. But #2 does, because #1 was already there when he arrived on the scene. All that sound right? Cause poor #1 would have hit with flanking. ):

@Gamble: Runes scale at "Level +2" not at "Rank" increases. These are like Kineticist impulses and basically scale every odd Character Level. I'll add +1 electricity damage from the first ranshu, and 2d6 damage each from invoking them.

Sorry. Just read this today. That would be correct. Thrall #1 would not benefit from flanking yet but #2 would.

Looks like the duration of Dead Weight is only 1 round, so I presume the Adjutant is no longer grabbed. Would the square still then become difficult terrain given the way that thrall was utilized to empower the spell?

Yeah, the Adjutant will no longer be grabbed after the spell duration. Though I'm not entirely sure what happens to the thrall after the spell. My interpretation of the spell would be that I sort of 'sacrificed' a thrall as part of the spell and that after the spell it's destroyed but since I have the grim fascination feat, it will turn into difficult terrain.

DOH! I never made an RPGChronicles page for this one.

Here it is now.

@Mirandiel, you can set the "Level" to 1 for your character that gets the credit, and then set "Pregen level" to 3.

GM, I was going through my chronicles and I think you reported the wrong faction from our run of Quest 15 - In the Footsteps of Horror. Melenia Nightbreeze slotted in the Verdant Wheel faction. The one in the chronicle sheet is correct, but when I checked the session reports here in Paizo, it says that she was awarded 2 reps for Envoy's Alliance.

Fixed. But just so you know, Melania's faction defaults to Envoy's Alliance when the GM enters the character number. You can change her default faction yourself in her Org Play profile (where you select her avatar). Then lazy GMs that forget or fail to check make a mistake won't credit the wrong faction.

Wasn't planning on it. But let me look. Is there interest from this group in another Series 2 Quest? I only run 1 table at a time, so I could try to fit it in before Outpost starts in early March.

So the scenario says that for finding the badge, they:

offer each PC 10 gp in free gear from their storehouses as a reward for bringing in the adjutant’s badge. This can be any gear from Pathfinder Player Core that the PC has access to up to one level higher than the PC. For levels 3–4 this is 25 gp of gear for each PC with the same restrictions.

This is in addition to the treasure bundles earned, but there's no "boon" to download. So I'll just add it to your chronicles in the comments.

Once Gamble signs in to RPGChronicles (above), I'll report it and get the chronicles out.

Reported. Chronicles are here.

I switched some things up and could run Quest 20, Dacilane's Show Must Go On. Priority to this group, though I think technically if we don't start before the 1st (which realistically isn't going to happen), then the Playtest is over so Gamble and Mirandiel will have to retire.

Please let me know soon if you want to play.

Also, please don't forget to fill out the Playtest surveys.

Thanks for a good game!

I've put up a  Discussion thread for Q20, but not opened a recruitment thread yet pending how many of y'all check in. Sam requested it, and Schek, Blackfeather Jack and Gamble GM Blake have expressed interest so far.

I think anyone can fill them out. It asks if you have GMed or played one of the classes, but I think there's also an option for not having done either and just wanting to provide feedback. You don't even need to answer every single question, and you can just answer about one but not the other class if you wish.

On my end, in the Sessions tab of my Org Play account, it shows that I reported both Quests for Melania as Verdant Wheel, so that should be 4 total. You wanted Verdant Wheel, right?

I'll open a gameplay thread for the 5 of you to dot into. I'll put the RPGChronicles link in the Discussion thread over there also so we can see tier & CP, then I'll close this campaign tomorrow.
