Ok so it looks like we are going tier 3-4 with a few lvl 5s mixed in. I actually would like to see the Dark Lord/Spell Warrior Dhampir in action. looks cool

So, this is one of the reasons I opted at the last second to play this character. You got your wish, what do you think? :)

I think it's pretty cool.

chronicles

let me know if something is missing. Thanks for playing.

You forgot Arioch's whopping 1 gold from his DayJob! I'm outraged!

Benson feels pride in accomplishment at defeating the efforts to besmirch the Pathfinder's reputation. Once loose ends have been tied off, he enjoys himself at a pub. He offers anyone a ride on his ship, the Steel Falcon, which will set sail for Andoran unless the Pathfinders have another mission for him.

"That's a long trip and it goes too close to Cheliax. I don't want to end up a slave."

Arioch joins Benson in the pub and keeps an eye out on their pockets.

I went to check if my Chronicle information was correct and when I clicked on the link, there were not PCs signed up. Did you get our information and then clear the link? Let me know if you need anything from me.

[dice=Day Job Profession (Sailor), Ship]1d20 + 4 + 2

Scroll further down the page and there's the corrected link.

Found it:

RPG Chronicles

Thanks to GM Qstor for running and everyone for playing! Especially Mercutio who has a great sense of humor. :)

To the GM: I love the bad guy smacktalking Arioch by calling him a stooge! lol

"Thanks Gamorra this wasn't the kind of hot time in the old town I wanted to have. Let's go round up those bums at the Gold Goblin and crack some heads!"

To Mercutio, "Those are some great spells there Mudslapper. You're a good egg."

;)

Huh, and what Seasons did the Shadow Lodge last for?

Now that I think about it, he must've seen this, especially since the Shadow Lodge swan-song Scenario (the last game he ever ran) ended with Torch killing Spider himself, and then, to hear him tell it, it just forced players into rounds against him, which indeed would've made no sense, all the less with this in mind.

No clue you'd have to ask someone more PFS1 experienced than I.

What Season is this from?

Back when I had an in-person group, we had a particular DM who'd become quite prominent before quitting the entire game in protest when the Shadow Lodge was retired in ignominy. I chuckle to think of it; if he saw this, he would've been piiiiiisssssed...!

@GM: Should I keep my Reflex save from earlier or roll again?

I'll roll the sneak dice:

** spoiler omitted **

The half orcs blade hits the tiefling in the chest and he drops.

As his foe falls Arioch says, "Stooge you! Spoiled your day you two-bit flunky! Yo jadrool surrender now before you die too."

@Arioch, they're both blind so roll sneak attack as well from the attack above please

Narka and Arioch hit. Green is on his last legs and bleeding fast.

@GM: If they're blind they should've had a 50% miss chance for hitting Arioch: "Blinded: The creature cannot see. It takes a –2 penalty to Armor Class, loses its Dexterity bonus to AC (if any), and takes a –4 penalty on most Strength- and Dexterity-based skill checks and on opposed Perception skill checks. All checks and activities that rely on vision (such as reading and Perception checks based on sight) automatically fail. All opponents are considered to have total concealment (50% miss chance) against the blinded character."

I'll roll the sneak dice:

Sneak: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 3) = 9

Dayjob Roll: Craft (Locks)
Craft (Locks): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Man I rolled great in this one! :(

1 gold it is.

The RPG Chronicles has been filled out for Arioch.

That should be +2, though!

I wasn't sure if that was still in effect from the last fight. If it is his first attack would've been 14 not 13 but probably still not enough to hit. I'll roll the spectre twice and his second attack would add 2 so it would be 21 to hit and 13 damage.

Previous round:

Lost Soul; Negative Energy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 211d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Current round:

Lost Soul; Negative Energy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 251d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Gamorra has neither and most of her spells are area spells.

spells in memory currently
charm person dc17
color spray dc 19(21 spin) used 1
grease dc 17
burning hands dc 17 x2 used 1

Arcanist
shadowtrap dc 20/22 x2 (1 used)
ill omen dc 17x2

level 2 wizard
burst of radiance dc 18 x1

haunting mists dc 22 x1
web dc 18 x1

There's nothing in the rules for the bomb about helping to extinguish someone so just go with what you think is best.

Gamorra 5' and takes a full round to put out Arioch (if she can)

I appreciate it but honestly if Gamorra has a wand of magic missile (or the spell in memory) it would be a better use of their action. I'm concerned with croaking these clowns before they do more damage. Or I see Gamorra has Grease in memory? You could ready for bomb-boy to hurl again and hit him with the Grease.

[dice=Reflex]1d20+9

@GM: Does the save reduce the damage or just to avoid being on fire?

[dice=NW Elven Curve Blade]1d20+7;1d10+6

Arioch advances on the tiefling and slices at him with his sword.

See: explosive bomb The Reflex save it to avoid being caught on fire and requires a full action action. if you want to retcon what you do

Nope he can catch on fire and burn.

Reflex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

@GM: Does the save reduce the damage or just to avoid being on fire?

NW Elven Curve Blade: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 191d10 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Arioch advances on the tiefling and slices at him with his sword.

IT looks like they are blinded so you might have more flat footed chances to play whack a mole

I hope so because what a time to roll a 4. :(

@GM: The maps with narrow tunnels and curves can be tricky to gauge distance. How far is it for Arioch from where he is to the purple bad guy? It looks to be 25ish feet but I'm not positive.

25 feet.

Ack just worry about getting better! After Daenerija finishes burning him:

The vanished Arioch moves into the room and attacks the pink foe unaware!

Mercutio vanished Arioch on his turn so he'll have +2 to his attack and the subject loses his Dex bonus to AC.

MW Elven Curve Blade, Invisible: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 2 = 131d10 + 6 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 6 + (3, 4) = 16

Sorry Mercutio; Arioch did not use the vanish well. Darn die roller! :(

Apologies. been dealing with some bad weather. i will post when i can. bot narka if need be.

Unfortunately large parts of the U.S. might be without power for a while.

Waiting for Benson and Narka since they're in front of Arioch.

So if the casters want to heat the place up now is the time. ;)

Ooo chemical fumes? Sounds like it might be combustible for our flamethrowers!

Arioch attempts to sneak a peek:

@GM: Taking 10 on Stealth and Perception for 20 and 19 respectively.

Sorry I was running games at a con. My apologies for the late notice.

No problem but you should've invited us to play! ;)

Narka moves closer to the stairs waiting to see the marching order as the group takes them to certain combat.

Arioch has Evasion but he's not standing in front of two flamethrowers! 8)

"You two want to barbecue some thugs go for it just try not to burn any loot."

He grins at the children, "No doubt. Good luck kids."

Arioch waits for Mercutio or Benson to take point since the children said there were more thugs upstairs.

"I can check for traps right in front of you - no worries."

@GM: The ole 19/23/24 again.

"If you can get out of here safely go for it. Otherwise wait here for us."

Arioch assists Gamorra's search efforts.

@GM: He'll autosucceed on aiding Gamorra for secret doors and/or traps.

The boards won't let me post in gameplay. Combat over

Weird! Although it looks like it let you post text. I wonder what's going on/wrong? Are you having issues at any other table?

I don't know if it's related but I wasn't receiving notifications of new posts for this table.

Sometimes the boards have done that to me. I just tried on this game to be honest.

I also had issues trying to update Arioch's character sheet on here to mark of the wand charges and update his HP.

Narka can help heal Arioch with his heal stick and assists with the Detect Magic afterwards.

She auto aids in diplomacy for whoever is trying to illicit information from the street urchins.
"We are not hear to harm you. We just want to know what was going on here and what you were forced to do."

Thanks! I'll roll the charges and see how many it takes to fill the hole in his chest...

CLW Wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

CLW Wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Two it is!

"Wasn't planning on it," Replies Mercutio as the specters disappear, and he withdraws his estoc and waves it in front of his nose for just a moment before cleaning it with a prestidigitatorial wave of his hand.

"Swill from a swill specimen...ANYWAY!" He turns around with a flourish and takes a seat on the bench next to him. "What brings you here? You're a bit more than we bargained for...not to mention these!" He adds as his gaze turns from the boy to the assorted treasures on the table, a conspicuous gleam in his coin-like eyes. "What's going on down here, do they tell you anything, or is it like the old joke about mushrooms?"

[dice=Diplomacy]1d20+13 ...Somehow, that actually figures.

I'm renowned for my curse for rolling poorly and it often infects the other PCs. Sorry about that. :(

Can someone cast Detect Magic on the items on the table?

@GM: Any Knowledge checks or an Appraise check to determine what's on the table and its value?

The boards won't let me post in gameplay. Combat over

Arioch immediately sheathes his sword and holds up his hands, "We're not going to hurt you; we're here to rescue you. Can you help us out? The well-dressed guy over there has some questions for you."

Diplomacy Aid: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Can whomever uses CLW wands please stitch Arioch back together? Man 10 HP on a crossbow crit - ouch!

Getting blasted in the chest by a crossbow bolt, Arioch growls "You rat bastard!" and moves to strike his assailant:

MW Elven Curve Blade, Enhanced: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 191d10 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 1 = 14

And his spectral assistant also partakes:

Lost Soul: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 241d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

@GM: The NPC near Benson can take an AoO since Arioch moved past it. I think it's one of the kids which is why Arioch isn't attacking it.

There are 6 of them and they're in the places the DM described, so surely that's who they are. I was assuming/hoping they're non-combatants (and no doubt unarmed, to boot), so no AoOs from them.

It sounds like they don't want to be here to begin with...so this is a bit more than just a drug-laundering outfit, isn't it?!

I have the same assumptions but I wanted the GM to know Arioch was taking the movement even if it provokes. It's just who he is. :)

Arioch moves into the room and readies to attack a threat attacking him.

MW Elven Curve Blade: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 81d10 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 1 = 13

And his new spectral ally will also attack:

Lost Soul: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 161d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Being a Wayang, probably higher pitched and nasally Fran Drescher would be comical.

I would've thought Gollum.

Question: Anyone else think of who/what their characters' voices sound like?

Mercutio would be Tim Curry.

Vinny the Mook.

"Think nothing of it, Mr. Fairysock."

Chuckling Arioch says, "You...I like you!"

"Thanks for the help Mercutio. As for the sticks, well, maybe someone will stick it to you the right way eh?"

@GM: Yep next area and Arioch will search some more so the usual 19/23/24 with hopefully Mercutio (and anyone else) assisting.

Arioch moves in and gives the place a once-over - hoping for more assistance from Mercutio (and anyone else!).

19/23/24

He looks at Narka, "Cool but you might want to wait for me to check the place out before going in next time or they might be fitting a coffin for you."

Arioch studies the area the group is in for any 'surprises', "Welcome mat."

@GM: 19/23/24 as usual.

Arioch gives the area a thorough search leading up to the door while Mercutio puts on his fancy airs with book learnin' and such.

@GM: The usual take 10 on Perception for 19, 23, and 24. Hopefully someone else assists his search. :)

Arioch grins at those still up top, "Hook, line, and sinker."

He'll follow Mister Mudslapper on his descent if for no other reason to watch his finery become sullied - the horror!

Take 10 on Stealth for a 20.

"Benson has been looking for a fight, he'll probably want to go first. Can Gamorra give him some magical light so he doesn't burn himself?"

"Cousin eh? Never mix family with business. I'll give you some advice my dearest Grand Ma-Ma gave me, 'In this business you never trust anybody. Everybody in this business is a criminal. How are you going to trust a criminal?' So besides keeping what we find how about you all put an end to the lies that the Pathfinders were behind the beatdown and subsequent robbery? Money is great but we have a reputation to repair."

Credit to 'Harlem Nights' for the wisdom. :)

Responding to Mercutio, "Sure why not. It's not like you read in the broadsheets, 'After stupidly following the people who set them up the authorities found their mangled bodies in a roadside ditch.' Never happens!"

Arioch nods to the two Varisians and lets Mercutio do the talking. Hey the man is willing to spend coin to add hirelings to their motley crew so why not?

Diplomacy Aid: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

"Where's his manners right? His name is Mercutio and I'm Arioch. What did we do to you for you to besmirch our good names?"
