Outpost IX - PFS1 6-18 'From Under Ice'

Game Master Shadow Dragon

Discussion thread.

Hi everyone!

Thank-you so much for running GM Shadow Dragon! Looks like I ran Sombra’s #5-08 Confirmation at Outpost IV many moons ago ;)

Without knowing one player’s PC level, we are currently APL 3.4, so high sub-tier with the 4 player adjustment.

We have a lot of divine c⛩sters! Is our front line OK? (Mademoiselle Paix is a blaster) I can bring a Level 4 melee cleric, but I would prefer to play Clémence.

Chanes are we're high tier (with or without adjustment depends on cmlobue)

Sofia is a frontline melee but she's not a tank. We have two shifters but this is low level that they don't have their Wild Shape yet. In my opimiom if cmlobue brings another frontline then it's passable

My high subtier options are Ninja 5, Illusionist 4, Rogue 3 and Occultist 3. Best option is probably the occultist and survive off 4-player adjustment.

I received a PM from the 6th player and they will no longer be able to participate. He was bringing a L4 oracle so you may want to factor that into PC choices.

We'll also see if anyone else wishes to participate since we still have a couple of weeks before Outpost IX begins.

A friend of mine would like to join (and signed up) for this. He will use the lv4 warpriest pregen

Correction: I am using Bloodrager Pregen for this game

I have the Google Slides link active. Please add your PCs information in Slides 3 through 5.

Done

Reminder: Not everyone has filled in their PCs information on RPG Chronicles or the Google Slides yet. Please do so before the start of Outpost IX.

Also make sure your PCs are updated with any purchases, new levels, etc.

And while no one wants to get hit in the face someone needs to be in the 'front rank' for the rest of you to take cover behind. ;)

In my humble opinion it would make more sense to have a charismatic character with good AC, full BAB, who can also parry incoming attack out of turn/surprised be the front, but that's just me.

I don't think the guy in front (for the marching order) should be a charismatic guy necessarily. When doing social interaction, the marching order usually doesn't matter (it's more for combat and exploration) so I'd assume the person with best defenses should be ahead, and if multiple people can fill the role, then whoever is slower should be ahead.

I put my Jirelle in front for now since the spot was open (originally I put her more in the middle of the party, which is where I feel swashbucklers belong! Heh). I figured that whomever was missing was probably concerned of being in front, so done for now. If someone wants the spot I don't mind switching, otherwise I guess I'll be taking the first arrows :P

I don't have Crowe's avatar on my PC, could someone put one on the slide?
Btw I wish to go on the second as Crowe is a front-liner

I placed Crowe next to Lapyd's pregen at the front. If you would like to move it to the '2nd line' please adjust accordingly.

It's just important so I know who gets slaughtered horribly and devoured by the Tarrasque to see things first...
;)

The disadvantage of being a small roguelike is that it takes so long to get behind the enemy from wherever the martials put you.

I'd recommend Acrobatics to stand on their heads. ;)

Please let me know if my character is making anyone uncomfortable. She does have a 'professional' setting when needed.

Clémence will also purchase snowshoes for 5 gp, GM Shadow Dragon.

"Thanks, Clemence... I surely can use your help with the elements."

“Mais oui, but of course. Is there anyone else que vous?”

The priestess gives Crowe a pointed stare. “Je doute one scroll will suffise, monsieur. Is there really no personne who can afford une wand magique?”

❄

“J'aime bien your idée des snowshoes, Jirelle. J'ai déjà visité les Linnorm Kingdoms recently. Les snowshoes aided un compagnion manage snowy terrain du difficile.”

"Je should learn from his expérience, et votre exemple, mademoiselle."

Neither of the pregens has that kind of gold or the PP to purchase a wand. It's up to the player PCs if they want to make such expenditures.

I don't have endure elements. The good news is that while I'll still take cold damage, I'm immune to the Fatigued and Exhausted conditions that are the really painful parts of environmental conditions.

So his corpse wouldn't be fatigued or exhausted - good to know! ;)

The secret benefit of the Dead condition is it makes you immune to many other conditions! (except prone, I guess)

Purchased: Cold-Weather outfit; Cleats; Snow shoes; scroll of endure elements;

Jirelle will also buy a cold weather outfit for 8 gp and snowshoes for 5 gp at the quartermaster

That is so cool! I need you to do the artwork for my PCs and future GM tables! ;)

Why am I not in Clémence's lap? ;)

Cold weather gear purchased.

Wow, that is really impressive! (I actually imagine Genesix more like Baymax from Big Hero 6, but couldn't find any better Paizo avatar images.)

More like this?

Perfect!

Hi team! I'll be off this week on Spring Break with the family; should be back next weekend. GM, please feel free to bot if needed! Thanks :)

I'm on a business trip and will be afk for 3 days. Please bot me if needed.

Hi GM Shadow Dragon,

I would like to burn the following boon on Haltani.

Duplicitous Charm (Tales: City of the Fallen Sky): Choose a creature. Until the end of the scenario you gain a +2 competence bonus on Bluff checks to lie to the creature and Diplomacy checks to improve the creature’s attitude or request favors from it. When this boon is used, cross it off your Chronicle sheet.

Just imagine the meme with the guy looking at another woman, labeled form left to right "Clemence", "Gnagnatsu" and "Haltani"...

Just remember everyone, I conscripted this player first to do all my artwork. ;)
