Amala continues to attack the guard in black attire.

Hi GM, Amala gained 4 temp hp from smite impudence so she has 2 damage currently.

In case the target is disabled, she continues shooting at the next person.

Primary rapid shot 1, rapid shot: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27
arrow damage : 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Primary rapid shot 2, rapid shot: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18
arrow damage : 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

~

Longbow to hit: +12 [BAB +4, Dex +4, +1 MW Bonus, -2 rapid shot, smite impudence +5]

Longbow damage: 1d8+2, 20/x3 [Str +0, smite impudence +2]

Don’t count on her being so aware of the situation. :-(

Combat has started so she’ll not really care about the bottle.

Hello GM, I just realized, that we are in a surprise round so please ignore the second arrow shot.

Thanks

Amala immediately 5 ft steps and smites the guard in black attire to tear their flesh apart with her bow.

Amala gains 4 temp hp from smite impudence.

She then starts shooting at the person in black. In case the target is disabled, she continues shooting at the next person.

Primary rapid shot 1, rapid shot: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21
arrow damage : 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Primary rapid shot 2, rapid shot: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14
arrow damage : 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

~

Longbow to hit: +12 [BAB +4, Dex +4, +1 MW Bonus, -2 rapid shot, smite impudence +5]

Longbow damage: 1d8+2, 20/x3 [Str +0, smite impudence +2]

Happy holidays everyone!

GM, we are all placed, and ready for an initiative! :-D

Sorry, that's not right. I summon something to open the bottle and we attack from range while they fight each other. If you really want to do it your way, I'll prepare bear's endurance and cast that on you before you go.

Sorry and thank you! I misunderstood, but she’s chaotic so let’s just roll with the above post of mine. And let’s assume you cast bear’s endurance on her as she’s definitely not refusing that. But from a player perspective with Amara’s lay on hands I’m less concerned with hitpoints depleting so if you want to summon a monster that runs in attacks the reclamation group that’s great as well. Sorry again.

I placed myself.

Just be careful as the bottle affects 50 ft around it immediately and then 10 ft per round up to 100 ft in round 5. ;-)

"Oh no, that wouldn't work. We use it on them and stay fifty feet away while they fight each other. Perhaps you could pepper them with arrows until they charge you. I can cast something to boost our skills."

Sheet grins.

”Ahh, that sounds like a plan! Arrows will bite into their … flesh … “ she says slowly.

Based on the discussion with Fellzir, Amala moves stealthily in the direction of the men and women from the north so she’s still hiding, but is near the cart.

stealth to move in : 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

As Fellzir instructed, she opens the bottle and immediately starts to stealthily watch them to see who’s not affected.

stealth to watch unseen : 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

Amala just hopes that her unholy fortitude is enough to withstand the mental strain of the cloud.

fortitude save DC 14 vs. the effects of the bottle : 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

We are now placed on the map. Please move your icons as you see fit.

Thanks GM, hiding makes a lot of sense and we’re going to that to wait for their appearance.

Amala, in her disguised appearance, hides as planned and awaits the arrival of the holy warriors.

Ready.

And just to clarify, Giuliano doesn't need a disguise - he will appear as The Shrike. (mechanically, Giuliano is The Shrike's disguise, not the other way around :D)

Of course! :-D Then please just ignore the rolls for disguise GM for Giuliano.

Everyone ready to start the combat? Do you want any of us to post our spells for the day, bluedove? I'm changing a couple of mine to Summon so I can send the Discord bottle into the enemy and then open it.

I’m ready! :-D

No spells for me, but if you others cast buffs or anything else then posting that might make sense.

"Oh no, that wouldn't work. We use it on them and stay fifty feet away while they fight each other. Perhaps you could pepper them with arrows until they charge you. I can cast something to boost our skills."

Sheet grins.

”Ahh, that sounds like a plan! Arrows will bite into their … flesh … “ she says slowly.

Amala nods.

“Good ideas. Although we would be affected as well, so let us see how we can use that maybe as a diversion for escape in case things don’t work out perfectly?“

Okay, let’s make the disguise rolls to speed things up with a +2 for a disguise kit. I’ll make the main roll with Amala +9 and then aid another in alphabetical order. Also the rolls for the individuals in alphabetical order: Amala, Aurelius, Giuliano, Fellzir, Sercrutio

Amala simply nods.

“Well, then it is decided! We should all assist each other to be sure that the disguises are more or less well done!“

And we can assist each other with aid another, GM? I think disguise has to be rolled in secret by the GM?

Well, thanks! And no issue, let us then just do normal disguises. Maybe you just inform the group in the gameplay, because then it is just a couple of disguise rolls and we are off to do the ambush on the map that the GM provided.

I'm all for continuing the discussion. However, are we discussing this on location, or back at base?

Hi! I am currently assuming that we did a quick check of the scene, but are discussing the whole topic at the base. We can handwave some of the preparation time with the GM approving and would then start the ambush.

But you potentially memorizing Alter Self, is that possible?

spellcraft to know alter self spell DC 12: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Amala thinks for a moment.

”As always, a pleasure to work with you Aurelius! I could disguise the features of two of us a little in advance and then one of out uses an Alter Self spell to change our race to that of a Halfling!“ she explains wickedly.

”I heard about these two escaped halflings that you … took care of. They are still missing … we could try to look like them … this could be used to blame them and even create suspicion that freeing slaves is not a great idea after all!“

Let’s get this ambush rolling everyone. :-D

Then, remembering his manners, he turns to the Calistrian newcomer.

"Well met, Lady Amala. I'm pleased to hear Fex has not forgotten about us."

She raises an eyebrow.

“Well, I believe that Mr. Fex is going to forget about any of us if that is in any way convenient for him! And let’s not forget that you do not know me. And I do not know you … not even your name … so let’s start this mission to see what we both think about each other afterwards. I don’t have any kind of magic at my disposal. I will definitely use mundane means to disguise my appearance. If anyone of you needs support then tell me!“

Hello GM, Amala would disguise herself and anyone else who wishes to receive her aid. With a disguise kit, her modifier is +11 to look different so people wouldn’t recognize her race as Tiefling (which is -2 to the modifier I think).

She thinks for a moment.

"Okay, so that means that we have to hide our identities, because we would otherwise blow our cover. Can anyone of you alter their appearance or are you able to create disguises? Because my skills at mundane disguises are ok, but not really spectacular."

She then looks at the street.

"I also think that we should check where the best spot for the ambush is, so that we can hide well and then have a quick route to engage the guards."

Hello GM, is there any roll that we can make so that we identify beneficial positions for the ambush? And can we assume that we have access to disguise kits for purchase?

Nice! Then let us post in the gameplay! ;-)

She gives an air kiss and smiles.

”Well, that’s what I call self confidence… “

She then looks around.

”So I think I have basic knowledge about the situation here … but given that we’re here … what’s the deal with the potions?!“

Amala is a female Tiefling with a strong presence. Her supple skin, black hair and facial features clearly mark her beauty.

But her eyes look very much like those of a snake which betray the more bestial aspects of her fiendish ancestry. The Tiefling additionally exhibits a long, flexible tail which is covered with tiny scales that are arrayed in patterns not unlike those of a serpent.

She has a backpack, is wearing leather armor that has been recently oiled, and has a whip, dagger and sling at her side while her left hand wears a spiked gauntlet that holds a buckler.

“Well Cimri … looks like this is where our paths split again. Longacre was… amusing. But I suppose even I can outgrow a village eventually.”

She gives Cimri and Guillaume a sidelong smile.

“Do try not to let the place burn down without me. Or do … whatever keeps you entertained.”

She then turns toward the remaining agents of House Thrune, and she dips her head in something that might pass for a bow if one were feeling generous.

“Oh and Fellzir and Aurelius are here as well! Hmm … choices … so what happens now boys?“

She then looks to the unknown agents.

”Amala is my name. Fex sent me to make sure things here don’t crumble under the weight of heroics and poor decisions. I can handle a bow, infiltrations, and… other social complications.”

A faint, but wicked smile touches her lips.

“I trust we’ll all make ourselves useful.”

Amala lets her thoughts drift back over the time after she left the group in Longacre. Working for Fex on special tasks had been … too efficient for her taste, but at least she could burst out sometimes. And usefulness meant freedom to act out, or at least the closest thing to it in Cheliax. Still, she hadn’t expected he would someday send her back to the same group that she had once parted ways with in Longacre. Yet here she was … being pulled once more toward trouble.

Fex’s orders had been simple enough … to reconnect with the others in a place called Kantaria, and ensure their mission advances. She could question him a little about what exactly awaited her there, and after his teleportation spell had taken hold, Amala found herself in an inn that she was told belongs to Loredana Viorica.

Now she sat in the small room that she had been given. Her cover story was more or less prepared, but she had to wait for confirmation. She was just a simple animal handler hired to help manage the inn’s traveler’s horses and other animals, and perhaps she could help as a flute performer in the evenings if Mistress Viorica desired a bit of entertainment. It wasn’t perfect, but hopefully enough to blend in until she found out how she could sting those that deserved Calistria’s wrath during the mission.

And just a reminder about the pros and cons of stealing vs poisoning the potions that the GM outlined here in the link.

Potion quest:
I am in favor of stealing the potions as well and not poisoning them.

Cover story:
Given the fact that we are supposed to be working for Loredana in her inn, I would propose that Amala can be responsible for the horses or animals of the travelers (Handle Animal +9) or sometimes entertain the guests (Perform +9).

I’m available for everything.

It’s been a while since I read through the gameplay so I did that yesterday again and I realized that I completely misunderstood the cover story that we need.

I wrote down for myself the NPCs and some of the open quests. Please tell me if I got something wrong:

Governor Oppian Nevilindor - commands the Reclamation forces still here in Kantaria. A well-built man with short, neatly cut hair, Oppian Nevilindor is garbed in a gleaming breastplate displaying the symbol of Iomedae. Oppian always has a warm smile on his face, but has a habit of keeping one hand on his sheathed sword.

- Viorica mentioned the Smithy Tychus being killed by the Governor Nevlindor and the location haunted -> Brextur, a Ukobach devil was found, Sinderbos was Tychus' hammer, an unholy relic devoted to Moloch. It is a mighty weapon in any hands, but in the hands of one who serves Moloch, it is also a splendid tool of creation. Some skulking human made off with it in the aftermath of the smith's defeat -> Hammer of the smith stolen by a blonde, bearded fellow shouldn't be too hard to locate among a town full of Chelaxians.
- Steal potions for Linton
- Rescue the Hellknight

Thanks a lot GM!

Now that I have finished the char sheet I revisited your initial suggestions below.

Hi Amala, I did read all of the gameplay backlog when I took over, so I'm familiar with your character. You will need to advance to level 4, we can assume you have continued to work for Fex and he will recall Guillaume and teleport you to replace him. We are still in the 'under-cover' portion of the story, so you will need a cover story. Feel free to work with the characters to synergize. IIRC, you have an association with Aurelius?

Moving forward, your options for usurping the cache of healing potions are to spy/stakeout/schmooze the Alchemist to learn the time/place of the delivery/pick-up. Possibly insert yourselves into the equation somehow. Maybe break into his shop. Other options you can think of.

I am very happy with the approach that Amala continued to work for Fex and that she was teleported recently into the city.

As a cover story, I’d like Amala to act an aspiring perfume designer maybe, eager to learn the alchemy of fragrances?

She has very high bluff and diplomacy and potentially by flirting just enough to appear harmless and enthusiastic, she could convince the alchemist to take her on as an informal apprentice so she can understand scents on a deeper level?

I imagine that this could potentially allow access to the workspace, tools, and routines? From this position, Amala can plausibly take actions that push the story in the right direction?

Any feedback welcome!

Boards are back!

Hello GM, so I have decided to just go pure Antipaladin after all. I think it is a better fit for the campaign and the background.

Rolling for level up hit points: 3rd and 4th level: 1d10 + 1d10 ⇒ (9) + (8) = 17

My character sheet should be updated in a couple of minutes.

I will endeavor to continue. I do apologize that my schedule reduces our pace. These days I'm most busy on weekends and I may have a little more time than usual M-Th this coming week.

Sercrutio, you are cleared to assist Linton while he completes the order and we can assume you glean that the pick-up time is just before sunset "tomorrow". You guys can still decide on how to interfere with the pickup here on discussion.

@Amala, I will ok the use of Tea of Transference for use with your Smite if you choose to add the Ninja class.

Wow! You are too kind to continue GMing for us!! Thanks a lot!

I would then really move to create a Paladin 2 / Ninja 2 and level up Craft (Alchemy) to 4. Give me another day and I’ll have my character sheet ready in my profile.

Hey guys....sorry to disappoint, but I'm not going to be able to take on your game at this time. A bit too much going on in RL, and I'm having trouble keeping up with my current games.

Happy Gaming.
Al

Real life always first. So I completely understand!

Amala, are you still joining?

Yes, of course! I have three different character sheets as I really have analysis paralysis on how to move forward! :-)

I cannot decide ... go full Antipaladin ... or multiclass?

But who would continue GMing?

Have a great weekend everyone!

Well, Amala's return takes care of any concern with our departing front-liner.

Hello GM, I thought again about the possibility to interact with the Alchemist and I’ve been thinking about taking a level to gain access to a firearm with the Gunsmithing Feat so that taking Craft Alchemy for crafting bullets / cartridges etc would make sense. What are your thoughts about firearms in general for this campaign?

Hi GM, please ignore my request above about the Gunslinger as I did not realize that we are missing a frontline character.

I gave some questions to the GM in that context:

1. Would it be possible to apply the benefits of the ‘Boon Companion’ feat also to the ‘Fiendish Boon’ class feature to gain a fiendish servant, i.e. to negate the levels lost from multi classing when the Antipaladin gains the Fiendish Boon at 5th level?

2. Even though Secrutio offered to take over the craft alchemy part, I’m still thinking about the option to also invest into the craft alchemy skill, as I noticed that there many alchemical remedies as stated here which I find interesting to craft in case Amala would invest in Craft Alchemy. So I just wanted to confirm that you would be comfortable with these crafting rules and alchemical products?

3. Lastly, what is your view on the Antipaladin and certain feats or items that affect Smite Evil and of course not the variant Smite Abilities of the Antipaladin. So for instance Smite Evil Magic or Righteous Orator or Tea of Transference or Silver Smite Bracelets etc. … so is it okay to assume that these feats, items etc can also be taken/created with the Smite ability of my Antipaladin instead of “Smite Evil”?

Hello GM, I thought again about the possibility to interact with the Alchemist and I’ve been thinking about taking a level to gain access to a firearm with the Gunsmithing Feat so that taking Craft Alchemy for crafting bullets / cartridges etc would make sense. What are your thoughts about firearms in general for this campaign?

Thanks! That makes sense to move into the undercover story.

Do you believe that it is possible to spin the story with the Alchemist so that Amala rather charmed, bluffed and stole (so using diplomacy, bluff and disguise or sleight of hand) instead of leaning into the Alchemy expertise?

I can level up to 4th in the next days of course!

Hello everyone, thanks GM, I am definitely interested and willing to jump in, but I really don’t want to push out Charles, who really is a great player and GM! :-D

In that case, I will step out of the game.

Have fun, Noral :-)

I am super sorry! In that case please let me withdraw my request. I definitely don’t want you to feel uncomfortable with me potentially joining!! Very sorry for any inconvenience caused!

Thanks a lot for the feedback so far. I’ll await GM Spazmodeus‘ decision as they might see six players as too much.

Have a great week everyone!

Hello everyone,
I hope that you’re well.

I do not know if you all remember, but my character was part of the original crew assembled for this game. I had to step back from RPG for a while, but I’m now coming back and seeing the change in guards, I was wondering if you GM Spazmodeus as well as you players would feel comfortable with me coming back into the game?

I hope you have a great weekend!

Ahh, finally 3rd level.

Due to christmas I will need time until Dec 28 to be able to make the adjustment.

hp: 1d10 ⇒ 6

WOW! Thanks so much GM Wulfson!

A privilege to have you on board!!

Please tells us in case you want us to do anything in a specific way for your game.

And again big thanks to DM Eric for everything so far!! :-D

I would of course continue! ;.)

Thanks a lot for the fun ride so far GM!! I really enjoyed it. :-)

I am only playing PF1 but thanks for the offer!

All the best, everyone!

perception: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (6) - 2 = 4

Amala immediately runs in the direction of the door that was just shut.

Amala agrees with Fellzir.

stealth : 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

She moves up the stairs.

Hello GM, should we really roll another disguise check? I though we had already rolled .... and failed. ;-)

Amala nods.

“Let us go!“ she says.

Yeah, and to be honest this is going to be a real mess when we arrive there and we start the fight! :)
