[GD14] 6-17: The Devil in the Details

Game Master Michael Hallet

OOC stuff here...

But first, some stuff for you to fill out before we begin.

RPG Chronicles |Macros | Slides

Friendly fire ok as long as Kat isn't dying or in danger of such.

Provision: 2 x Moderate Healing Potion

I'm probably going to need a level bump judging by those who signed up on the spreadsheet.

5 Glyphs to share.

EDIT - Slides and RPG Chronicles complete. I'll hold off filling in the Macros as soon as I get squared away.

Thanks for hosting this, GM.

I'm fine with friendly fire as long as it doesn't increase my Dying value.

2 GM Glyphs to share.

Mentor Boon is Skilled Mentor

Manny will hold onto a 5th rank scroll of Breath of Life. He has a Cleric Dedication so he should be able to cast it.

Since I opened the table late, I'll wait a few days to let everyone get settled in. We'll aim to start by Monday.

No friendly fire for me. Thank you !

3x moderate potion

I don't have any GM Glyphs.

Done with RPGChronicles, Macros, and Slides, Friendly fire is okay as long as I am not Dying or going to die. 2x moderate healing potion for Provision.

Checking in. Healing potions for provisions.
Looks like I have to do my level up, hopefully done very soon.

What mentor boons does everyone bring? I need a level bump...

My Mentor Boon is Skilled Mentor

Charlies, Manny is going to become very jealous of you and your eidolon soon.

Oddly enough, Teja doesn't have a mentor boon. But I can easily acquire one if you would like a specific one.

Charlies, Manny is going to become very jealous of you and your eidolon soon.

Why is that so?

On the other hand, Tiger’s PCs always end up saving Charlies every time they go on missions together.

GM, are we going high tier with this game? So far, with five players in RPG Chronicles, we are at low tier. If we're going high tier, I will need mentor boons too with the level bump.

Full table on the spreadsheet. That's what I was going by.

Charlies -- don't you have Convention Boon on your PC? So +1 Hero Point

Between Kaitlyn and I we should have enough Glyphs so everyone starts with 2 Hero Points.

Charlies -- don't you have Convention Boon on your PC? So +1 Hero Point

Ah, yes. Thanks for the reminder. Additional hero point for Charlies from Convention Hero boon.

I just reported one of my games and would have applied the chronicle to Charlies. If the GM permits me to apply that chronicle before this session, Charlies will advance to level 8. I’d like to confirm if the GM is okay with this. It would shift the game to high tier, assuming the tier shown in RPGChronicles is the most up to date.

That is fine since we have not started any encounters yet.

Thanks, GM. I now updated Charlies/Estes to level 8. I reflected the changes into the Macros, as well as the Sign-Up Sheet.

ok. So I'll need a mentor boon after all... :)

Any one in particular you would like?

who's got what? :)

Charlies has Protective Mentor boon.

I'm happy to get one if there is a particular one you would like but we don't already have available.

I have sent a PM to the remaining player giving them 24 hours to join the table. I will be moving on to the first encounter tomorrow.

Protective Mentor and Skilled Mentor. I'll update the Macros.

Sorry. I forgot i had inscribed myself in the game.!

Hirondelle has also the one who gives a +1 to saving throw.

Hand wraps can have ghost-touch runes.

Swapping runes requires you to be in downtime mode.

You could just buy and invest another set of hand wraps with ghost touch.

+1 Ghost Touch = 80 gp.
+1 Striking Ghost Touch = 175 gp.

I'll buy a +1 Striking Ghost Touch Handwraps then.

it's times like these I miss some of the features of AD&D 2e. I remember at some point fighters can shoot 3 arrows every 2 rds, then later on 2 arrows each round... :)

I forgot to say but the ikon is now on my skin. Giving resistance 4 to slashing.

I feel so stupid to have stayed in this place.

At least, i have done a hit.

I'll try to heal you, hopefully I can get around Infernal Wounds.

I also took a breath of life scroll as my provisions.

I have give also a breath of life.to charles i think.

Infernal wound only blocks magical healing. Natural/Alchemical healing works fine, but the way I run it is that magical healing will be applied to infernal wounds first, but natural/alchemical healing is applied to infernal wounds last, only touching infernal wounds if that is the only damage remaining. Essentially I run it that way to make infernal wounds as difficult to deal with as possible.

I will post today

I tried, but Infernal Wounds continues to be a pain.

Wow... Lucky

I also forgot that Hirondelle axe was had a rune bane so if the gm would be okay he could add a d6 to white

Charlies has Battle Medicine, and will heal Hirondelle on his turn. Not sure if Battle Medicine can interact with his Unusual Treatment feat to remove his Clumsy condition, but I don't think so since it is not Treat Wounds, only using DC for Treat Wounds.

It is Fin-thir's turn.

FYI. This scenario runs long. At our pace we definitely won't be even close to done by the end of the gameday. We'll lucky to be done before the new year.

Oh my goodness.

While we are waiting for fin-thir, Is there ways to make a dungeon crawl faster in PBP? It is in my experience where is more difficult to move on because it need more agency from the players.

We can agree to pick the left hand room first when we have multiple options.

We can post botting instructions and let people use them if we don't post in a day or two.

I like the left room.

I have give hirondelle a simple bot. But since fin-tir hasn't answered, shall we at least delay have him?

I can move us along tomorrow. I won't be home most of the day today.

The way I was taught on how to run explorations is to have the players either draw their exploration plan (or if the map is not revealed all at once, to just say 'we are going clockwise (or counter clockwise))'. Then you select one player to be the designated door puller so that there's no longer a dispute as to who pulls the door open :)

The problem here is the map is a series of disconnected rooms with portals.

In that case, I'll suggest we start with the top most (12 o'clock) portal in the room and always take that one, unless we already used it, in which case we'll go clockwise to the next portal.
