GM Frost's S06-05 Silver Bark, Golden Blades (P02) (Inactive)

Game Master Frozen Frost

Let's discuss out-of-character stuff here.

Hello, everyone! Welcome to the game. Before we begin, here are some important instructions for a smooth experience:

1. Sign up on the Sign-Up Sheet (linked above) and provide Player Name, Character Name, Organized Play Number, Character Number, etc. We'll use the RPG Chronicles website for this.

2. Fill in your character and minion tokens, and marching order on page 2 of Slides and Maps (linked above). Also, update your character’s basic information, core stats, and skill modifiers on Macros (linked above).

3. Ensure your character's stat block/header includes HP, AC, Saving Throws (Fortitude, Reflex, Will), Perception bonus, and Speed.

4. Area templates (burst, cone, emanation, line) are on pages 3-7 of the Slides and can be copied to the Encounter Map.

5. Post regularly, preferably at least once per day and at least once on weekends. Adhere to the Organized Play Foundation Community Standards, and remember the Pathfinder Society motto: "Explore, Report, Cooperate."

6 Non-consensual character conflict is prohibited and may result in Infamy points. Always obtain player consent before engaging in any form of friendly fire or actions that negatively affect another character.

7. At the start of the adventure, each character begins with one Hero Point, which can be used to reroll a check or—by spending all remaining Hero Points—to avoid death. Players who possess GM Glyphs are welcome to award them to others, granting additional Hero Points.

8. For Scenarios, don’t forget to declare your Pathfinder Provision appropriate to your level. Before setting out on the mission, you will also have an opportunity to purchase any necessary equipment.

9. I will roll initiative checks and use a block initiative system. PCs in the active block can post their actions, resolved in posting order. Use these symbols in combat posts: ◆ for single action, ◆◆ for two actions, ◆◆◆ for three actions, ↺ for reaction, ◇ for free action. I will roll secret checks; players roll saving throws. If I provide a DC for a check that is meant to be rolled secretly, roll it openly in your post. Otherwise, I will roll the check in a spoiler using the modifiers you provided in the Macros.

10. We’ll use the X-Card for safety. If something makes you uncomfortable, include '[X-Card]' in your post or message me privately.

11. Regular posting keeps the game flowing. Kindly inform us of any absences. Provide botting instructions if you'll be away.

12. Remember, the goal is to have fun! :)

Thank you, and let's embark on this exciting adventure!

Thank you GM, much appreciated.

My PC's details have been filled up in all the places you've asked for.

With an effective Treat Wounds modifier of +13, I can handle out of combat healing checks for the party.

Will wait till the briefing is done before deciding on daily prep from my Herbalist dedication.

Will give my GM Glyph to the level 2 BARD.

I'm good with being AoE'd but don't make it a habit.

Haduo has the Horn of Plenty ikon. If you have potions/elixirs, giving them to me allows me to feed them back to you from 6 feet away for just one action.

Re Pathfinder Provisions - giving a Scroll of 2nd rank Dispel Magic to the Cleric.

Yarr.

I need to update his Profile page, I'll try to get it done today. I'm currently in Asia, for those that don't know from my other games.

Payani is a Scroll Thaum who fights from range, so he can handle the heal or dispel magic scroll provisions if folks want to give them to him.

(Oh, we also have a cleric? Nice.)

AoE and Splash are acceptable within reasonable limits.

I have 2 glypns.

I'll get the macro and sign ups done later today once I finish his profile.

My backstory for Payani is that he's originally from the Forest of Spirits, though I have nothing mechanical to tie him to it directly.

He has the Tome implement which grants 2 skills during daily preparations. I'll wait to see if there's a skill the party has no one Trained in before declaring them.

I've played and run this before, several times.

5 glyphs.

Currently running this game. Also have run this game a few times.

My first live game was this one run by Payani's alter ego...

Friendly fire is fine as long as it doesn't drop Maneki.

She can also serve as a secondary healer.

Provision - Heal Scroll which she hands to Payani.

I see someone in this party provides a +2 with their scout instead of a +1. Will change my exploration activity to Search.

Oh, right, I forgot to mention that. Yes, Payani provides +2 to everyone while he is Scouting.

Macros/Slides complete

That's 2 hero points each at the start of the game, then. I will post the intro once everyone is done with the Macros and Slides.

I have played this scenario before but I have not read or GMed it.

Also Dakon happens to have played 1-06 Lost on the Spirit Road.

'Neki doesn't have 01-06.

Sorry I’m late. Currently traveling, but should be good to post.

Friendly fire is acceptable, but don’t push it! :-)

Please stand by while I contact Vahrn, as the player hasn’t dotted in yet.

Hello everyone!

Sorry for missing the start, I'll get up to date asap!

No worries!

Might split the distribution of scroll based provisions - especially since you dont seem to have the hands for it. Will give my Dispel Magic to the Thaumaturge.

I'll take a heal scroll (rank 2) as supply.

I've got one dispel magic scroll from Haduo, and one heal from Maneki.

Vahrn has his own heal scroll.

I think Payani will also take a dispel magic for his provision, since we've got plenty of healing.

I’ll be out of town from December 22 to December 29, so posting and GM updates may be intermittent during that period. I may also be quite busy from December 30 to January 1, though this is a generally busy time for many of us.

Does a spellcasting archetype allow you to use scrolls of the same magic type?

Yes, you can read about it here in Spellcasting Archetype.

Thank you!

I’ll take a heal scroll too

I’m back from traveling, but the next few days will be busy again.

Before I proceed to the skills challenge, I will allow Haduo to perform his Daily Preparations in the area.

Oh sorry folks, didn't notice you all were waiting on me. Things got busy but I'm free now.

Ive used all 4 herbalist Reagents on 4 Minor Elixirs of Life. I get a potion of healing (lesser) and Antidote for free every day from my Horn of Plenty and Chrysanthemum Leshy feats respectively.

Carry on and Merry Christmas.

Happy New Year, everyone! I’m back and will slowly catch up and post updates in all the games I’m in and GM.

Whoops, didn't see that only 2 DC 18 successes were required. Do you mind if I retcon that Nature check into a Religion check, since I would have acted after we received 2 successes? My modifier is +7 to Religion, +8 if my Leshy bonus counts.

I will be unavailable this Saturday and Sunday due to a work-related activity, and I may not have internet access in the area. Kindly wait for my next update when I get back.

I should be able to long jump across unless the trap door covers the entire area next to the enemies on their right. If that still doesn't cut it, Haduo will walk into the obvious trap. He's already made a habit of that.

Just make sure to give me a count of how many arrows you end up using at the end of the scenario otherwise my odds of properly tracking those is about 0.

Just 11 - replenished to her starting amount

I think in PFS it's slightly awkward because I can't just give you items to keep, but you can use the arrows I brought, so in theory we need to track the ones of mine you use and I can't just replace yours.

That said, its coppers. I'm happy to just mark off 11 and call it good.

Sorry, I’m always shaky about the Treat Wounds rules. Would Shalosar be able to use it on Abaddon as well? Do we want to take the time?

I think Maneki has the feat that gives her a 10 minute cooldown instead of 1 hour that Haduo has. I'm happy to take the time, although my next post should heal him up a bit more.

Unless Maneki has continual recovery, we need to wait 1 hour to try again.

If you succeed at your check, you can continue treating the target to grant additional healing. If you treat it for a total of 1 hour, double the Hit Points it regains from Treat Wounds.

I think Maneki can continue healing Abaddon after succeeding the check she had. So as long as she succeeds in Treat Wounds, she continues healing Abaddon, right?

Treat Wounds

She has continual. Wow -- I didn't even know that...

@Vahrn - Abbadon can run through our spaces and get into the fray, or is there some other issue?

We are almost at the end of the scenario. If you could kindly check your details on Sign-Up Sheet linked above before I send the chronicles and report the game.

Looks correct to me. I am not taking downtime, would like to retrain a general feat which will take all 8 of my allotted days.

Maneki gives a talk on the finer points of distance archery.

Warfare Lore, DC 16: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

Success for 2.4gp

Payani helps the Grand Archive research and store Bloodmoon.

Esoteric Lore (E) DC 15: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24

Success 1.6 gp

Looks correct to me. I am not taking downtime, would like to retrain a general feat which will take all 8 of my allotted days.

Doesn't retraining only take 7d?

Shalosar keeps a feather from Katsu, and carves it into a writing pen.

Scribing Lore: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Dwarven Lore(E) DC 16: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

I will be away from keyboard for a day as I am in transit.

Oh right, I do have 1 day.

In between cramming to get licensed as a Continually Recovering Medic, Haduo spends some time with his fellow Leshies...panhandling.

DC 15 Earn Income level 1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

Success for a huge 2 sp, 1 day.

Here are your chronicles. The game has been reported. Thank you for playing the game!

You forgot to add my downtime but that's not a big deal. Thanks everyone for a fun game!

Chronicle looks good. Thanks for running. Thanks to the party for some very good RP. I'll see you around the boards or perhaps around a table someday.

In fact, I'll be joining Haduo Nue in Perth shortly, and then Maneki and perhaps our esteemed GM outside Manila later in the spring. Haven't played with Pirate Rob F2F in a few years, but anyone at GenCon or a major US con this summer, please look me up.

DING!

Thanks for running!
Good game, everyone!
