If GM wants to step down, I support the move. If GM wants to run a slog of battles from 9th to 11th, I am keen to fight or die. If GM wants to join as a player while another GM takes the reins, and the other players agree, I volunteer to GM the remainder of the AP, as I am motivated to see this through. In such a case, I would probably attempt to recruit a 5th as well, pulling first from people I have games with in PFS. Lmk!
Maybe. But this “rule” isn’t printed anywhere, perhaps just how your GM chose to run it. How I run it: Out exploring? PCs have weapons out. At a dinner party? Weapons sheathed (or even: in coat check unless concealed!). Out in the city not necessarily “adventuring” per se? Weapons sheathed. Out in the city tracking a lead? Weapons out. Ambushed during a first aid sit or while sleeping? Sheathed or worse. Old man and his “walking stick” (bo staff) trying to waltz past security? Cornercase! Etc. GM has final say. I try to use common sense. I’ve had players argue “But murph would have his weapon out while eating dinner” etc. I make my ruling and move on. Maybe murph is a dagger-using rogue and it’s steak dinner… Almost similar for Reactions being ready before first turn, but the rules explicitly say “it’s GM’s call”.
Hmm... unsure if it'll be able to finish in time for Outpost. If there are no takers in the next couple days, I may reconsider, but would aim to complete before March 2nd, which may mean a bit of a speedrun.
Anyone willing to take over my table of 2-06: The Crashing Wave? I'm burnt out and having trouble finding the desire to keep posting. My players deserve a more consistent GM than I can be right now. How far along are you? 25%? 50%? 75%?
Hello Community,
If I am running a PFS Scenario, and then we have an "ambush" situation, can the monsters get a full round to act ahead of the party prior to everyone rolling initiative?
If the answer is "yes", what are the parameters of this leeway?
Thanks!
Hello Community,
If I am running a PFS Scenario, can I improvise upon the Tiers of Success mechanic (CF/F/S/CS) to create fun story moments where the outcome of Strikes or others die rolls result in incursion of minor damage or temporary status conditions? Like falling prone if you roll a "1" to melee strike?
If the answer is "yes", what are the parameters of this leeway?
Thanks!
Recruitment Closed!
Update: Looking for a GM to take over running the second half of this scenario. Interested parties PM me or Nomadical.
Transfership of this campaign may be underway. More news when there is some. Going to leave it de-activated in the interim.
The party slays the goblins sent to kill them, and free to whistleblower with the salve. They take a moment (or perhaps longer) to rest before heading back to the Party!
Silverbeard dispatches the Black Goblin, and the smoke clears.
Black goblin - beat , terrified but unretreating - scorches back with flame and fist! Pyros (1)

Gunna get to this later today maybe - else tomorrow?
Your clarification would be appreciated at the time of original posting, yes. And what I’m telling you is that your first Strike took your foe out, leaving that last “CS” action open with MAP activated.
Captain shanks Orange just as he winced from Jasper's sudden approach! Silverbeard finishes off Orange with his cutlass! Tiny eats Blue whole in one hog swipe! With the goblins so easily dispatched - only one remains! - the party continues their assault undaunted! ⚔⚔⚔
All good. I will use the first post. If you sneak in the edit window you can erase the second post.
Blue Muscle - all his like friends felled - ceases not his exuberance "Kill the Pig!" he yells mad with playful bloodlust. Blue

Darwin, you did not specify which goblin you attacked. Then you moved. So. Which color?
Do you have the text for Strike and Cast a Spell?
Molly takes out White. The contingent of Goblin Pyros scatter and hose tither and yon with more burning flame! "Make Fire! Kill Pig!" they chant with malicious glee! Orange Pyro

At the Captain's command, Jasper and Tiny step, "pinciring" one Pyro and one Muscle (Red and Yellow), easily dispatching them. "Hell has fire?" one goblin asks "Hell has fire!" another answers - they all agree "Then let's kill the pig!"
Was I able to clarify Terrain? Any lingering questions? =)

What part of the text of the Grapple strait or Gorilla Stance would that be? Grapple trait: You can use this weapon to Grapple with the Athletics skill even if you don’t have a free hand. This uses the weapon’s reach (if different from your own) and adds the weapon’s item bonus to attack rolls as an item bonus to the Athletics check. If you critically fail a check to Grapple using the weapon, you can drop the weapon to take the effects of a failure instead of a critical failure.
Do you see how it references capital “s” Strike?
@Darwin,

Got some time deeper in the evening to post and catch up. Few hours from now.
Captain,
The leaders disperse, and the crowd dwindles. And then seven angry goblins yell from afar "Those the ones we kill?" one says "Yes we kill those ones" says another "Those ones?" a third pointing "Those ones" a fourth answers "Okay!" a fifth, the most excited, as he lobs a bomb "Kill, kill!" begins singing a sixth "Kill, kill, kill!" continues singing a seventh!
Ran out of time today - expect an update either much later or tomorrow! =)
Don Jurio - heretofore unaddressed! - gives a look of surprise to the serpent that emerges from the tail of the crowd - he calls down some of those gathered ”Tis true, unfortunately the law is the law. We mustn’t forsake those there due process. Instead, let us meet our enemy in court with conscience clean and shots loaded” he thanks Captain Kullan and goes to prepare his prosecution!
Only “Toad” the silver-tongued Charlatan remains - but tightening his body at being surrounded, digs in his heels, insisting that “the people’s law” is of greater import than “the aristocrat’s law” - his claims radicalize a new element of passerby’s who quickly re-expand the only-momentarily-diminished gathering!
Knivel leaves. But with two leaders still present, the crowd grows increasingly agitated - they turn to stoke them some more, using rhetoric that talks about "outsiders" having "no stake" but wanting "a say" and other words that hint at opposition to attempts to disperse the gathered crowd peacefully... Captain Kullan:
This scenario is a powderkeg waiting to accidentally ignite - a fight could easily break out any moment in the crowd or on the stage!
There are 8 spaces next to Darwin. N, E, W, S, NE, NW, SE, SW. Again, if you will be unable to move your own Token on the Map, that is okay, but only if you step up and provide us with precise verbal descriptions, as this game has a very tactical aspect where these details do matter, and if you are unprecise, we have to add another go-around, which will greatly slow the pace of the game. I do not bot characters, instead, I use a Bot Tree: Black Molly
If your character's name is alphabetically before or after (and wrapping around) the character to be botted, you are tasked with botting your teammate.
Sorry, having technical issues. Can’t paste to the new map. If this issue persists, you will have to request a fellow player move your Token for you, and provide him or her with precise verbal descriptions on each of your turns, as this game uses the Tokens and Map to tell the story as well as play the Map-based technical aspect. Awaiting your Token placement before progressing us forward...
Knivel says to Jasper "F#~% it. I will go practice my singing. To think I almost missed my vocal lessons for this community distraction" he prepares to leave "If I make a singing role, you must promise to come to my show" he does his best to make Jasper promise before departing.
Toad just sneers as he is bombarded by Black Molly and Darwin "No. I will not!" he says, thoroughly unimpressed "Slogans are for activists. I am merely a concerned citizen..."
Captain Kullan, meanwhile, provides a lookout, nondescript. Party Progress:
Black Molly to Diffuse Toad w/ Deception vs DC 15 @ 14 Captain Kullan to Keep a Lookout w/ Warfare Lore @ 26 Darwin to Diffuse Toad w/ Deception vs DC 15 @ 14 Jasper to Diffuse Knivel w/ Performance vs DC 15 @ 23 ⭐
@Darwin
Go ahead and re-roll - there are generally penalties for critical failure however - I usually only advise characters who are trained to roll, but, the choice is yours! Awaiting your decision before progressing us forward...
Will try and move us along this evening when I get a 60-minute moment! [dice=Gather Info w/ Stealth or Thievery]1d20+6Here is a link for Gather Information: LINK Incomplete link, my bad!
