Gameday XIV Hao Jin Cataclysm w/GM R4i

Game Master roll4initiative

I have a +8 to both to of them

I have both! +7 and +8 respectively

I think we just go with Sleight of Hand honestly
Unless more people have Acro

Looks like acrobatics might be the one most people have, with Fiendy having the best one?

imma roll

Ekadan doesn't have Perform or Bluff and an 8 Cha so he'll try an assist to whomever will make the primary roll.

Moe doesn't have Perform or Bluff, but does have a 10 Cha. He will try to assist. If guidance is allowed, he will cast it on the primary.

I have Bluff +5.

Mine is a sick +4, so good thing we lucked out

Once again Ekadan has none of these skills. Who does and what bonus?
Note there's a limit of one aid per attempt so we should plan out not only who is making the check but also who is assisting.

Ekadan can attempt to aid on #1 and #3 with his massive +1 Wis bonus.

He can attempt to aid on #2 but with a -1 penalty due to his 8 Cha.

I'll put up the other two groups as well. You can decide which ones you want to attempt to convince to assist the Pathfinder Society. You only need to convince two out of three groups.

Please try to use this discussion thread instead of the gameplay thread when talking amongst yourselves.

Will do boss. :)

I just love how Ekadan has absolutely zero of these options.
Just like I told someone!

I have a +4 bluff, and a +5 knowledge local
And that's the best I can contribute

I also have the gold to bribe the third group so the third one can be a +8 from me

The Faithful of Xiwu:
Moe is untrained in all skills.
Moe has +1 Wisdom (Heal) for Give Aid.
Moe has +1 Wisdom (Sense Motive) for Sense Loyalty.
He has +0 Charisma (Intimidate) for Command.

The Hhruul:
Moe is untrained in all skills.
Moe has +0 Intelligence (Knowledge or Profession) untrained.
Moe has +0 Charisma (Bluff) for Promise Assistance.
Moe has a +4 Will save for Philosophical Appeal.

The Raegrigx Clan:
Moe has a +5 Diplomacy, which has a 50% chance to Straight Talk and Proper Tribute.
Moe is untrained in Knowledge skills, so +0 Intelligence untrained.

Missed the gold part. Ekadan definitely has gold to spend on the tribute but it reads like it needs to come from the PC making the check? Could the other PCs donate money to the cause?

Like Moe, Ekadan has a +4 Will check for the Philosophical Appeal if we want to try that route.

I could donate gold. My best skill here is Knowledge (arcana) +6.

It does appear the one offering gold would get the +4 on the check, so that player needs to make the roll.

Brat has a few of the needed skills, especially Diplomacy +10. Knowledge (arcana) +8, Bluff +6 and Intimidate +5 aren't that bad either.

The Faithful of Xiwu:
-1 Heal or +2 Knowledge (religion) untrained for Give Aid
+1 Sense Motive for Sense Loyalty
+5 Intimidate for Command

The Hhruul:
+2 Knowledge (geography) untrained for Impressive Knowledge
+5 Bluff (add +1 to fool them) for Promise Assistance
+1 Will save for Philosophical Appeal

The Raegrigx Clan:
+10 Diplomacy for Straight Talk
+8 Knowledge (arcana) for Excessive Praise
+10 Diplomacy for Proper Tribute (add +4 for the 40 gold bribe - Brat can afford it)

Looks like Brat talking to (and rolling the checks for) the Raegrigx Clan would be a good choice...

I will traveling over the next few days and through the weekend. I will try to post by phone, but feel free to bot Moe as necessary.

Looks like he should help with Moe will try to Aid Straight Talk and Proper Tribute with Diplomacy.

If he can, he will attempt a Will save to Aid Ekadan with Philosophical Appeal.

Looks like I'll let people take point on all the different checks, I'm just ill suited to these checks in particular, I'll see how things go and contribute how I can

I'm in the same boat. I'm also shocked Ekadan is one of the leaders in the clubhouse for a Will save...

Brat: Plan out which checks with which factions you want to roll. Then we'll see who, if anyone, has the best chance to aid it.

For being a rogue, Merisiel is shockingly lacking in the skill monkey aspect -- I got NONE of the skills.

Looks like Brat has some rolls to make!

I think we're the last table that needs to complete this mission, then we move on to the next chapter of the scenario.

I've just been informed that the Paizo site will be down for maintenance for a couple days sometime soon. Please just continue checking in until it's back up, so we can get the game going.

The Venture officers mentioned the Discord channel for keeping up to date with news and whatnot.

Do they have any idea how soon?

I'm guessing the usual Sunday thru Monday. That seems to be the days they do the updates.

No need to make those rolls anymore! All six missions have been completed. The entire house needed three tables to complete each mission. We will be moving on to chapter 3 soon.

Sorry, wasn't able to post sooner.

I was just about to prepare the rolls when I read that they are not needed anymore.

Sure sure you just wanted to make us look bad you big meanie. :(

;)

It appears we'll be taking a short break while the other tables finish their combats and reorganize. Also waiting for Paizo to go down for maintenance then back up.

If you need to, the repair team is supplied well enough to set up a rudimentary shop in the Hao Jin Tapestry. Between encounters, the PCs may purchase items from the Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook or Pathfinder RPG Ultimate Equipment with a price of 1,500 gp or less.

Having secured the tapestry and implemented provisional repairs, the Pathfinders return to the tapestry chamber in the Grand Lodge. Aram Zey begins assessing the tapestry’s condition and stability.

While awaiting further instructions, each table should send one or two Pathfinders to neighboring tables to share information about the missions they completed and learn about the ones they didn’t. Players can also boost any Aid Token in their possession once, and this is an excellent opportunity to pass it to another group.

So, if you feel like checking the other threads while we wait, here they are...

7thGate's T10-11 table

Colin's T5-6 table

Redelia's T7-8 table

The Discord table is on Cayden's Keg under the Gameday XIV Special Tables header, #gdxiv8-pf1-the-hao-jin-cataclysm-itspags.

I'll let someone with experience with Specials handle those things. Especially since I can't do anything on Discord after logging in lol.

In this section, you can choose who you want to fight. Do you want to defend the tapestry from Astral Invaders or Undead?

Instead of waiting for us to decide which encounter to do, I'll go ahead and start us off.

It will be an Astral Invader encounter, then we'll go to an undead encounter.

Brat answers: "If all else fails, use fire. At least that's what I heard somewhere..."

...read somewhere... ^_^

Thanks to the GMs for running and all the players for playing! This was my first special so I had no idea what it would be like.

Thank you all for being such great members of this group! I had a lot of fun running the game for all of you! I'll get chronicle sheets sent out soon.

I believe we get to make a d20 roll for boons. Go ahead and make a flat d20 roll and I'll find out from campaign leadership if we get a boon if anyone rolls a 20.

Boooon!: 1d20 ⇒ 12

Thanks all for a fun run!

To boon or not to boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 14

Brat's fault if I don't win: 1d20 ⇒ 2

Thanks for game everyone!

boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 16

Thank you for running this, GM Roll4initiative! And thank you, everyone, too! I had fun! :-D

It's the fault of the brat named Ekadan Joshi if I don't win a boon: 1d20 ⇒ 1

GM Roll4initiative: Does one win a boon only with a nat 20, or also with a nat 1?

Thank you for running this, GM Roll4initiative! And thank you, everyone, too! I had fun! :-D

[dice=It's the fault of the brat named Ekadan Joshi if I don't win a boon]1d20

GM Roll4initiative: Does one win a boon only with a nat 20, or also with a nat 1?

If you win on a 1 you need to gimme! :P

You win a boon if you roll a 19 or 20. I think it should be on a 1 or 2, though. That's how we did it at the Cons in Denver.

Anywho, >>HERE<< are your chronicles. They're pretty awesome.

Btw, I think this was the 10th Special I needed towards my 5th GM Star! If so, a big thank you to all of you for being a part of it! It only took me 15 years.
(I didn't GM very many specials at conventions in the past.)

Thank you for running! Congrats on your 5th star, very deserved

boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 20

Of course I'd get it lmao. I don't even know what it is!

This chronicle sheet is pretty cool! How does it work, checking the box? Does it mean I can only use the follower twice ever?

Also, where can I go for other 1e PbP games? I'd love to try more!

Thank you for running! Congrats on your 5th star, very deserved

[dice=boon?]1d20

Of course I'd get it lmao. I don't even know what it is!

Congrats! I'll let the VC know you won a boon! I have no idea what it is either, but, it's usually to play a unique race.

Wooooo!
I had fun ye
Looking forward to doing more with Pathfinder 1 too
1d20 ⇒ 5
Nope!

Ekadan's Chronicle looks good, thanks again for running and congratulations on your 5th star!

Thanks again for running, GM! And Congrats!

Thanks again all for a fun table!

@Arita and @Fiendy: If you post here (in character would be nice), it adds the Flaxseed Lodge to your campaigns tab. This is the place where PFS1e PBP is organized. It has a recruitment thread, where games are advertized.

Congratulations on your 5th star, GM Roll4initiative!

Regarding Brat's chronicle:
Between scenarios Brat spent 2 PP for a wand of infernal healing (posted here). I wouldn't expect you to remember that stuff for every player, though. But can you put that purchase in her chronicle, please?
