I thought the saying was: All's well that ends in the well.

Thank you for your help in dispatching that thing that was trying to pose as a Dragon. It truly got what it deserved.

◆ Stand Up

◆◆ Cast Produce Flame again

Spell Attack roll with Produce Flame as Melee attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
Fire damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

◆ Sustain Forbidding Ward

◆◆Attack with Produce Flame
Spell Attack roll with Produce Flame: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Fire damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Ember moves up and casts Forbidding Ward on Toavandil Hanustar.

◆ Stride

◆◆ Cast Forbidding Ward

Ember repositions and send a ball of flames at the creature.

Spell Attack roll with Produce Flame: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Fire damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Apparently, he is dismissing anyone who doesn't speak the language of the dragons. He also wants us to leave the dog as tribute. It is not a good creature, and I don't think it will negotiate in good faith.

Now that he can see the creature, he will try to Recall Knowledge about the Wyrm. Let me know if I have the skill wrong.

Initiative using Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

He asked "Who dares enter my domain" He doesn't look like a True Dragon, but he does speak the language of Dragons, as I do. Ember relays the information in Common, but does not move forward to translate.

Hopefully, this will be a peaceful discussion. Ember will stay toward the back, but will advance with Shimmer.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 (with darkvision)
Survival(Untrained): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
Scouting Lore ((Trained) in lieu of Survival if allowed): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Ember is obviously distracted by the ride and the dogs.

Some jobs expect you to bring your own tools. It looks like this might be one.

Ember will be searching for his exploration activity

This does look like a good task for adventurers. I am Ember, and I am pleased to meet you.

The kobold wears simple but functional clothing, and has a light mace and dagger.

My chronicle information looks right, and I rolled my earn income above.

@GM Tiger, Thanks for running.

Everyone one else, thanks for the good time.

I have run this before, so I am not inclined to vote. I did run it before they modified the scenario, and I think I know why the last encounter is optional.

I wonder how this happened, and where our host is? Is he safe?

I'll hit it eventually

◆ Cast Shield

◆◆ Cast produce flame at the Chair demon
Attack with Produce Flame: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
Fire Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

This chair must be freaking Ember out.

Why does our hist have a chair demon in the living room?

◆ Cast Shield

◆◆ Cast produce flame at the Chair demon
Attack with Produce Flame: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
Fire Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

It won't stay still enough for me to hit!

Ember moves into the room, sees the Chair Demon, and cries:
A Chair Demon? What the heck is that?

◆ Stride into the room

◆◆ Cast Produce Flame

Attack roll for Produce Flame: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
Fire Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

I don't know. He was rather secretive, and then he was out all night?

Ember grabs another scoop of breakfast.

Definitely NOT a real dragon, running away like that.

◆ Ember Strides up behind another pillar

◆◆ And Casts a Two-Action Heal on Sindraillia

Healing Sindraillia for 1d8+8: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Are you a real Dragon, or one of those fakes?

Not wait for an answer, Ember acts.

◆ Stride to the other side of the pillar

◆◆ Cast Produce Flame

Attack roll for Produce Flame: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
Fire Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Ember moves back behind a pillar.

Ready as I'll ever be.

Fortune Telling Lore: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

One of my better dicebot rolls today

Nasty fairies! I'll be glad to be done with you.

◆ Stride diagonally Southwest to line up on White.

◆◆ Cast Produce Flame at White

Attack Roll for Produce Flame: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
Fire Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Flat Check: 1d20 ⇒ 15

◆ Step to get a clear shot at Pink

◆◆ Cast Produce Flame at Pink
Attack roll for produce Flame: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Fire Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Flat Check DC5: 1d20 ⇒ 4

Whiff all the way around

Will save versus DC 16: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

ohh, pretty colors. . .

I assume this is Color Spray?

Failure is Stunned 1, so only two actions, blinded one round and dazzled one minute

◆ Casts Shield

◆ Pulls out his sling

◆ Ember strides forward. I'll help you Sindraillia

◆◆ Cast Produce Flame at White
Attack roll for produce Flame: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Fire Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Ember will delay until after Pink.

Ember moves behind a pillar again.

After returning the bow of the other Sewer Dragon Kobolds, Ember practices meditating for 10 minutes, even though he didn't spend a Focus Point.

Oohmmmm

◆◆ Cast Produce Flame at Red Square
Attack Roll with Produce Flame: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
Fire Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

◆ Cast Shield

Ember moves up and send a ball of fire at the Pink bordered Kobold.

◆ Stride

◆◆ Cast Produce Flame at Pink Square
Attack Roll with Produce Flame: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
Fire Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Ember put up his hands.

Come and see the violence inherent in the system. I'm being repressed. We're supposed to be on the same side!

That's what I get for playing the only Kobold in the group.

I think that was my first Combat roll with Ember, and it was a Max damage Crit. It won't last, but it was fun.

◆ Step Back

◆◆ Cast Produce Flame against Pink Circle
Attack Roll with Produce Flame: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Fire Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

16 damage + 1d4 persistent, if he is still standing

Oh, Oh, So Sorry. Please forgive me. And next time, don't piss me off.

Ember timidly moves behind a pillar to see what happens.

Ember moves cautiously forward.

We are here for your amulet, good creature, but before we get down to business, could you tell us about yourself?

Diplomacy to try and get more information: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

GM, Ember has a +5 Religion and would like to try to Recall Knowledge

We need it in the mountains for drinking water and recreation (skiing.) Here in the foothills, it provides some moisture for the grass and trees, but can be a pain on the roads. I think we have two to three inches at this point, and it is expected to snow through much of the day.

It is snowing now. Already got a couple of inches, and closings for tomorrow are already numerous.

We're supposed to get four inches or so tonight

I thought the creature we found through the Blue portal was a Quasit Ember says as he moves toward the portal to step through.

Ember pipes up.

My tribe is the Sewer Dragons of Absalom. We have a long history of working with the Pathfinder Society, so when my time came to travel the world to gain some experience, the Pathfinder Society seemed to be a good place to go.

Ember follows along as well. . .

Sounds like fast talking the Imp is worth a shot.

I guess I can try some magic??

Ember is very unsure of himself

Produce Flame Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Ember pulls out a Mace

I don't usually hit things, but I will try

Bludgeoning Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Sad

Is there anything special about this bust she wants us to destroy?

Religion is +5, Occultism +3, Oddity Identification (+2 circumstance bonus to Occultism checks to Identify Magic with the mental, possession, prediction, or scrying traits) and Read Aura as a Cantrip

Also, can I Sense Motive on this creature, with a +5 Perception?

I can contribute a torch to this little conflagration. Would that be enough?

Diplomacy check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Ember looks shyly around at the rest of the party.

I think we took the wrong portal again. Shane told us to find a Protean, and this is a Quasit. I think we should go back and take the Yellow portal.

Ember has a +7 Religion to try and identify the creature.

Sometimes we all have to tolerate situations we don't like, so why not tell us about yourself?

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

This is going be to a week of long days at work without Internet access, so I may be sparse between now and Friday evening. I can be botted as necessary.

Order status: pending! Very excited for the Alchemist and Oracle.

I'm really wondering if there's going to be a replacement for barghests, since I'm assuming they're out. I personally think the concept should be totally safe--fairy tales abound with tales of sinister wolves with a penchant for disguise and a fondness for swallowing their prey whole. They just need a rebrand.

Pg 38 is the Barghest. DnD didn't create them.

Just notified as 'pending'. excite!

The main problem is the difference in getting hero points versus resolve points. Resolve points are a pool of increasing amount and double as your out of combat healing resource, and so you get a lot of them and they come back everyday. Hero points are you get 1 every session and you might get more if your GM gives them to you and even then you only can have 3 max. You can't really make a subsystem around different hero points usages because the amount is a lot smaller.

The more my players use Hero Points, the more I award them. We have had long sessions that resulted in a flurry of HP activity because they tend to go big and when they use them they get them replaced. I've let them use HP's to do many of the same things resolve points do. It's been my experience that Hero Points arent used like Resolve Points mostly because they're sat on for 'get out of death' scenarios because re rolling a 3 to get a 4 is uninspiring during big supposedly heroic fortune roll moments.

I'd love to see Korvosa more prominent.

"Hey we got to get rid of a god due to OGL- Lets focus on event around him/her/them" feels kind of overdoing it from the company that handwaved away Drow and other offenders.

I want a strong narrative reason, not line items.

The number of people online who don't even allow Gunslingers in the pf2e game who have used this blog to 'prove' the intent to make both games the same in an endless crossover style fusion has been a lot. Thank you for clarifying.

I haven't seen the remastered rules yet, I'll save my takes for after the sky stops falling.

I'd like a mass download, but I'd also be happy with improved nesting/categorizing. Adventure paths alone are divided multiple ways appearing before, during and after various product lines and each other.Just tossing them into a single category (preferably by game line/edition) would be less confusing when looking for something.

My main gripe is how poorly organized the core books currently are. Since I know that's on the list, I'm satisfied for now.

The Harrow Deck in Curse of the Crimson Thrones would do.

I suspect that in my campaign there will be some sort of Black Swan event which will table the Drow and hint at something _different_ to worry about. I'm leaning hard into a 'forget everything you think you know about down below'
