Dotting in with Eegru, my little grippli monk!

All players please sign up using RPG Chronicles (link at top).

Hello. I heard a call to help fill PF1 tables so I thought I'd pick this one to join.

miteke, I've GM'd this scenario before but never played it. It has been some time, so I think keeping (remaining) player knowledge out will be easy. Any concerns with that?

If not, my top-of-range options are:
* Nilah Sevron, F div-spawn eldritch scion 5
* Avi Solrem, M ganzi mongrel mage 5

IF the party is leaning lower tier, I have many more options

No concerns. You can take a look at the RPG Chronicles link to get a sense of character levels.

The outpost spreadsheet has more characters filled out (seems not all of the players have checked in here yet). Assuming that's accurate:

Summoner 2
Cleric 1
Monk 1
Hunter 1

So I'll stick with level 1-3. It seems like we could use a rogue'ish or knowledge'y character.

16 - Turel Avundlil - Elf unchained rogue (knife master) 1 (0 XP earned)
22 - Savis Slorn - Ifrit bard (archivist) 1 (0 XP earned)

Perhaps the rogue to keep it simple since it's possible other characters have some knowledge skills.

FYI I'll be away in nature this weekend, 3/1-3/2 without access to post. I'll return Sunday evening (US/Pacific time) to continue posting (including to kick of Outpost games!).

Dotting in!

it is March 2nd in Greenwich, so we may begin!

I just realized I made a mistake. I was looking at the other game I am playing with our GM- the Core game. I probably shouldn't be running the same character on two tables. If it's alright, I can switch to one of two characters.
-Level 1 drow hydrokineticist. (Complication: the boon hasn't arrived in the mail yet.)
-Level 5 human slayer.

I'm OK with either. I'll trust you on the boon.

I realized drow make bad kineticists, so I will go with Snorri. I will update his stats tomorrow. (I just got him to 5.)

Crap, I screwed up too. I've played this scenario before (in standard) so I will have to drop out. Sorry all!

I need you to sign up the character in RPG Chronicles.

Sorry for the delay in posting. I was dealing with a personal medical issue.

Poke.

Sorry. forgot I was waiting for Eagru and did not notice that it stalled. My bad.

It happens.

Sorry about not being active. My computer died and I had to wait for it to be fixed.

@Snorri
Do you have a character sheet? I wanted to check out your AC math but there is nothing there to check. We GMs should be able to review the data. Technically, it is part of our job, though it's kind of hard to do a review when you are constantly changing players. But, sometimes I do need to take a look for one reason or another.

Valid. I can send a picture of the sheet if you like, or I can type things up when I have time (probably Wednesday). For now, AC breaks down as follows:

I'm kinda on hold until you all decide about this. I would hate to move on with Omero at 2 HP and then have him die. Omero has a wand of CLW but he has not spoken up.

Why don't we make some UMD rolls/healing, and worst case once he does post he can object and we can ret-con to roll the charges/healing back (of course we'll have to resolve it before next combat)?

Agreed.

My understanding is that we can keep using UMD until we critically fail, so I will let people bot Snorri's rolls if we want to heal more.

Please roll for boons. A 19 or 20 wins one from what I am told.

My roll:
1d20 ⇒ 19

Boon Roll: 1d20 ⇒ 10

boon: 1d20 ⇒ 20

Boon 1d20 ⇒ 1

Boon: 1d20 ⇒ 14

Congrats, Navatsiyk. I added a note to the character recording the roll.

Boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 8

I'll be away in nature next weekend, Friday (4/25) evening to Sunday (4/26) late afternoon, US/Pacific time). I'll have signal but phone posting will be spotty. I'll catch up and resume regular posting Sunday evening.

I have no electricity due to the storms in our area, and now have no internet. So we have to travel into town and visit Sheetz or Panera to get access. As a result, as you can imagine, my posting rate is way slow right now. Probably about one per day, so anything you can do to get lots done for me to respond to in a single post would help your progress immensely.

That's actually why I tried to bluff with the guy right away. I figure that we still need to get through the auction and we will probably have another fight, and we only have a week to finish.

I got internet back. Been days now, but I'm back. Will try to expedite a bit.

Sorry you had to deal with that. I hope you didn't have to spend too long without electricity.

We'll do our best to play lightning round here!

A few days (url provided for those who like TMI). The winds blew a white pine onto our garage (which will require a new roof) took out a number of roads, and killed our power until today. We even had a few people killed, but nobody I know.

I used a Jackery (solar generator) to power the wi-fi router and my computer a couple of days after it started (once it occurred to me that it might be possible that though power was out the internet might still be available) and was able to actually do on line stuff, but then the whole area lost internet within a day (facepalm inserted here).

I bought a normal gas generator 10 years ago and this was the first time it got any use. Saved my food but did not help with other stuff. Found out that my well pump is hard wired so the generator could not power it as you need to plug things into it.

So, lots of learning experience for us, but very little internet time.

But that is over!!! Though I will do my best to move quickly, I do not expect that we will finish on time. When this sort of thing happens, we typically keep the game going after the deadline, but generate chronicles on the end date as long as the legal number of encounters has been satisfied.

I'm glad to hear that things are getting back in order for you. I hope that the repairs aren't too pricy.

That all depends on what insurance covers :0

Anyone going to do some bidding in the game?

Well, it would appear Turel was mistaken that this item isn't unique. If a party member has arcana or religion we can realize that and perhaps bid. But it's going to be risky to get even an item or two beyond the shard.

Snorri still has a few potions left, but he's also 3 levels higher than the next closest ally, so we are probably best with him attacking. Happy to donate potions to the "nobody dies" foundation.

Seems like one of the light-weights should grab one and take it to the expiring team-mate. Then again he is only an easily replicable level 1 character :)

That is true. Lol actually how does that work? If he dies, as a player can I re-enter with another first-level character?

You could if we were not most of the way through. I'd just hop into a different game that is starting up with a new or existing character. Flaxseed lodge is great for finding games.

Does anyone have day jobs to roll? I need to report the scenario today.

No day job.

No day job

Nope
