GM J's page

Hello, I would like to apply as well.

1. What is the ancestry and/or class of the character you plan to bring, and what can it mechanically contribute to the group?
I am thinking about a wayang psychic or a fetchling animist. Both would be in support of the party with some particular abilities.

2. Will you be able to post regularly, preferably at least once daily and once on weekends, and provide botting instructions when you’re away?
Of course, I am used to post regularly.

3. Are you amenable to using the block initiative system, in which PCs in the active block may post their actions, resolved in posting order; the GM rolls secret checks unless DCs are provided; players roll their own saving throws; and the following symbols are used in combat posts: ◆ (one action), ◆◆ (two actions), ◆◆◆ (three actions), ↺ (reaction), ◇ (free action)?
Yes, block initiative is very good.

4. Most importantly, are you willing to commit to playing with the same group for the long term, barring unexpected personal events that may prevent you from continuing?
I love to play longer with the same party.

Season 7 ones, please. I haven't played from 7-4, except currently playing 7-10.

Hello, I could bring one of my lvl 1 or 2 characters.

Does somebody plan to run 6-19?

Enrax has got his one. Ulfgar?

The game has been reported.

Ah, one good. The others?

And in the spam folder?

I've used the provided emails.

Chronicles haven been sent now. I will mark this game as inactive in a few days.

Here we conclude the story. Thank you all for playing.

If you want your earn income on the chronicle sheet please roll for it now. I will send the chronicle sheets soon.

Once onboard, you find much of the ship’s contents intact, including several undamaged crates of steel ingots. So you are able to recover 4 crates and also find the ship’s navigational charts, cargo manifest, and captain’s log.

As you return to the Silver Spoon with the requested documents, Venture-Captain Valicho thanks you for your help in strengthening the Pathfinder Society’s position in Druma and promises to deliver your finds to Temel Passad immediately.

END

Condolences

You can roll all checks. I count the total successes.

Congratulations Tiger!

Feiya and Hancock recognize the mark of an Aspis Consortium agent with the badge on Neidre.

With nothing else to find on the bodies, the party moves on.

After another hour’s travel, you arrive at a footpath leading down to the site of the wreck on the lake shore. A pack of undead creatures—the vanguard of the approaching swarm—roam the shallows near the beached ship, too numerous to fight past. Storm clouds loom not far up the coast, giving you a limited window in which to operate before more undead swarm the area.

To sneak aboard and find what you came for, you act in four phases. In each phase, each PC must attempt a DC 18 skill check.

Suggested skill options are listed for each phase, though creative solutions are encouraged, using a similar DC. On a critical success the PC can help their allies as well, gaining two successes. On a critical failure, the PC makes a mistake at a crucial moment, losing one success from the group’s total. I will track the total number of successes you earn through all four phases.

Phase 1: Get on the Boat
You might use: Stealth to sneak past the undead, Deception to pose as undead, Craft to improvise a raft, or Athletics to quickly swim to the ship.

Phase 2: Investigate Quickly and Quietly
You might use: Perception to find cargo, Stealth to move quietly, or Sailing Lore or Mercantile Lore
to know where cargo and documents are usually stored on a trade ship.

Phase 3: Load Cargo
You might use: Athletics to carry heavy cargo, Perception to watch for approaching undead, Mercantile Lore or Labor lore to make logistical plan, or Nature to time departure with favorable conditions.

Phase 4: Escape
You might use: Stealth to move quietly, Athletics to swim or row a raft, Deception to create a diversion, or Religion to know how best to avoid undead.

Hancock's first strikes kills Neidre instantly. Then he moves to reach the last bandit who is killed in a one shot strike. That ends this encounter.

A search one Neidre’s body discovers a scrap of paper and a bronze badge embossed with the image of a snake. The note says simply “Stop the investigators. Hide our involvement.”

What are you doing?

Combat over. I post more this evening.

Sorry Hancock but as you don't seem to have reach, you can't take your reaction. But I don't think it's changing a lot as I see how much damage you deal, folks.

Neidre steps to flank Enrax with the help of her lackey. And she strikes twice.

Kukri, vs off guard: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

Damage, sneak: 1d6 + 5 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 5 + (6) = 14

Kukri, vs off guard: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 10 - 4 = 9

Damage, sneak: 1d6 + 5 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 5 + (2) = 10

Fortunately for Enrax, she misses. Perhaps because she was to sure to strike true.

The halberd lets Neidre barely standing.

Take this one in flank! Does she orders to her lackey.

The red bandit moves to flank Enrax Reactive strike possibility and strikes Feiya.

Shortsword: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

I wait for the resolve of eventual reactions

Ambush! Round 1

My maths: 5x2 (crit) + 9 = 19 damage on Hancock

Neidre vs Evil eye: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
Blue vs Enfeeble: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

Ulfgar's waraxe ends the blue bandit's life without to let him a single chance to survive even if he resisted to Feiya's spell.
During this time Hancock cut something off from Neidre before to shove the sickened one.

Ambush! Round 1

Neidre, who seems to be the chief, fires a bolt and rushes towards Hancock to strike him.

Let's get the mighty one down first.

Handcrossbow, Surprize attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

Damage, sneak: 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + (1) = 5

Kukri, Surprize attack: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 10 - 4 = 19

Damage, sneak: 1d6 + 5 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 5 + (5) = 11

Then blue follows to strike Hancock as well.

Shortsword: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Shortsword: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 9 - 4 = 18

Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

The bolt finds out a weak point on Hancock and blue connects once as well for a mighty blow.

As you have no question for the venture-captain, You begin to travel north along a trade road following the shore of Lake Encarthan toward Detmer. The road is well maintained and regularly patrolled by the Mercenary League to prevent any threats to the frequent trade caravans that pass through. The forest is thick enough to create difficult terrain and provide cover to creatures within.

And Enrax perceives some movement among the trees on the path near you.

You arrive from the right. I let you rearrange your token but not further than Hancock. I roll the init then.

Thank and no rush to post.

We still miss Feiya on the slide.

But I've posted the introduction anyway.

A curious claim

The adventure begins in a tavern situated 10 miles outside of Kerse, the Druma’s capital.

The interior of the Silver Spoon Inn and Tavern is as elegant as the name would imply, featuring a black marble bar top and gilt chairs, freshly upholstered in rich leather. On opposite ends of the room are two polished ebony tables, one laden with decadent trays of charcuterie and cheese, while the other holds simple crusts of bread served on fine porcelain platters beside silver ewers of clear water. Finely dressed patrons mill about, drinking and gossiping, while a few individuals clad all in white stand aloof from the crowd. Venture-Captain Kristoff Valicho slide 4 gestures for an employee to take over behind the bar before joining you at a corner booth. “Welcome to the Silver Spoon, friends! Since the Society helped pay off the loan, we’ve really been able to fix the place up right. Anyway, on to business. Establishing the Society’s position in Kerse has been slow going, especially with interference from the Aspis Consortium. You may be able to help change that, however, as an important potential ally has requested our assistance.”

He hands out a document.

Please read slide 5

After a few moments, he continues : “The wreck is a few hours’ walk from here up the coast. I have a horse and a small wagon ready for you, just in case you’re able to recover any of the cargo. Be careful, though. My contacts in the Mercenary League say their investigation of the wreck was cut short by a swarm of carnivorous undead that surged up from the water during a storm. I’m sure capable agents like yourselves can handle a few monsters, but with the number of creatures they reported, you should head inland before any such storm arrives.”

You can introduce your character and ask questions if you have any.

The following pathfinders are summoned by Venture-Captain Kristoff Valicho in a tavern situated 10 miles outside of Kerse, the Druma’s capital .

Droki
Ulfgar Ironhead

Hancock the Angry

There is still two spots if someone wants them.

Ulfgar Ironhead is still waited in the tavern.

Lair! Round 3/4

The assault of the Pathfinders was magnificent but the lion remains standing.

Crit Champion Ra continues to harass the beast with his arrows. Norbwald hits on his second attempt. Even the Thrall found a way to critically hit the lion this time. Only the poor Lendaru cannot find how to hit the big animal this round. But that's a bit for the short story.

The lion is very hurt.

I don't feel very well. Be fair and move away from here to come back tomorrow. Then we can continue this entertainment with flavor.

Sadly he won't be in better shape tomorrow, dying under your eyes...

End of combat

The lion dead the Pathfinders have all the time to explore the cave. The feline’s lair is filled with the bodies of goblins and other creatures that have been killed by the group of felines. A variety of odds and ends can be found among the fallen, including 75 gp in assorted coins.

Once back to the camp, the goblins are very pleased to learn that the beast have been killed and definitely won't come again. Of course Muckmuck is still skeptical, but you know Muckmuck now...

Zig introduces a feast in your honor.

We will prepare a recipe that was taught to us by an old mad man who I met some years ago. He wasn't all the time easy to understand but I can tell you that his omelets are the best all over Golarion. So let's prepare the well-known mushrooms omelets for everybody!

Fortunately the lions haven't killed the chickens so there are enough eggs for all you you. The spices were delivered by the old man. And for the mushrooms... perhaps it's better not always to know where the products come from...

Of course, once you return to Yigrig, the bridge is completed and you are rewarded with a sack of gold.

END

Lair! Round 3/4

Zaighar moves to hit the lion twice with one very nasty wound Crit!. Clarence shake off most of colors but what remains prevents him to connect with his sword.

As I think Clarence's longsword isn't a reach weapon I stepped him.

Lair! Round 3/4

The Pathfinders all move towards the lion, but only Champion Ra is able to connect. Quite good but he should have been disturbed at the late moment because his arrow doesn't make so much wound as it could have been with such a shot.

Moouahh! Let's play a bit with you before the dinner.

The lion steps back and casts a spell engulfing Lendaru, Clarence and Norbwald. He unleashes a swirling multitude of colors that overwhelms the three of them.

The combined assault from Zaighar and Champion Ra is enough to kill the poor beast.

Ah my proud lieutenant. I will revenge you!

And the lion pounces biting Norbwald.

Jaws: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28

Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

He tears a bit of flesh from Norbwald's leg.

Mhhh that's a good appetizer. Let's move to the meal now.

Then he seems to cast a spell upon himself.

Champion Ra uses his bow to hit once a toe of the beast. Zaighar doesn't find anyone or anything to strike on at the end of his movement and Lendaru moves and readies himself to strike if anything approaches.

Now you must die and all the goblins after you.
