Huratas Pelicore's page

"Glad to see you are alright. We did. Seemed like a decent sort. This seems to be an old temple of Aroden. The Gillmen come here to worship. I didn't see any knives or blood stains so it seems to be peaceful worship. They also have a very nice miniature city that has some kind of power. They may allow closer examination of it if we ask nice. There were also wall painting but we could only make out a few of them."

Huratas gives her back her unused gear.

Tbh I think you probably bit off more then you can chew. Not a reflection of your skill as a GM, Just the sheer volume of player posts you need to read and pay attention to. Combat can change based on the players actions so no matter how well you prepped each combat will be a separate thing.
I think you were managing fine so far though.

Putting the mechanics in the spoilers I feel makes things a bit harder because players act based on what they know. It forces the players to either read all of the spoilers or to possibly duplicate an action. With more experience with the system and judging what to put where that might get better.

I didn't notice the arrows but the combats were pretty simple so I wasn't confused about locations.

Thanks for the attempt Granta. I suspect if you tried something similar but on a smaller scale it would go very well.

"Tishka do what must be done."
Bit O' Luck on Tishka. Roll 2 d20s keep the best one on all rolls for 1 round.

Are you asking all the tables?
I'm fine either way.

Huratas trips the red mite.

We are all under the effects of Bless. Loni's attacks are at +1 on top of the rolls.

"Doesn't look like they want to talk. Go get em Tishka."

Huratas will wait until Loni finishes summoning then cast Bless.

"We faced the undead, We can beat bugs."

So what we were posting before, But in a spoiler tag?

So you want a spoiler for actions then in dice rolls you want us to repeat the actions and add dice rolls? Or one spoiler tab for actions and another with just the dice rolls?

Don't think the party has Spellcraft. I peeked to see what type of items they are.

Huratas shrugs. "A ring and an amulet. Probably useful somehow. Who wants em?"

"Many baddies defeated and no one died. Go team! Now we look for loot."

I'll bot Loni again tomorrow if he is still wiped out from the weekend.

"Looking good. We've got this."

Huratas will heal Kranzer again.

Ah. Didn't see anything about it in the bit before the spoiler text. That posting method can be confusing.

More Loni botting. Kranzer needs to take his op attack against red.

Loni

The animals will take their attacks of opportunity. Loni will use the CL 3 wand to heal Kranzer while ordering Drootina to attack red. The dog will move and attack red.

Huratas

"Much better. We've got this."

Huratas will try to trip green.

Since Loni is super busy organizing a local Con I'll go ahead and bot him.

Loni finishes (his?) summon. He will heal Trishka and have Drootina attack.

Sadly Huratas doesn't flank. Forgot to buy a spiked gauntlet.

"Cowering on your knees is no way to die. Let's get you back into fighting shape. Pear maybe? That never made sense to me."

"Hang on Kranzer!" Huratas rushes in to help.

So we have all played this before. The rites were interesting the first time I played though it took a long time to figure them out. And none of us used any of the boons.

Thoughts on investigating the shrine vs skipping it?

"I think what we are getting at is that we want to know about your people and this place."

Diplomacy Aid: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

Huratas is a he btw.

"Well that's the point right? Someone should ask."

I once played this with someone new to PFS, We let her make the choices. Her first big choice was to attack the Minotaur outside, Thanks to major cheese we won easily. In this room her rogue decided it would be a good idea to sneak up on this guy and hit him with her sap. I learned new things about this adventure during that session.

"Just one of them. Anyone good at convincing people to spill their deepest darkest secrets? like Why are you here? What's the deal with the wall art? and Is it true what they say about gillmen?"

Huratas looks at the new paintings. More interesting then fish.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

"Ah. Variations on the parables found in Aroden's History and Future of Humanity. The Soldier is depicted bearing a lantern through the streets of a city, following the dead god’s prophecy that the vigilant shall carry light to the darkest corners of the world to banish the shadows. The Merchant is depicted weighing and trading coins of different sizes, a reference to the holy text’s proverb that peace brings trade and prosperity to all people. And there some more but I can't quite make them out."

Not seeing a handy wooden beam overhead to swing across with his whip Huratas takes the easy route.

"Shouldn't be too hard."

He Guidances himself takes a running jump over the pit.

Acrobatics DC 10: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 1 = 23

And does so with ease.

Huratas activates one of the sunrods. Not knowing what dangers lurk in these caves he'll have the sunrod in one hand and his whop in the other. Unless someone else wants to hold it.

"All divided up and a lighter load for each of us. No doubt Janira will lead that horned beast off a cliff and meet us later."

Huratas looks at the murals a bit but quickly grows bored of paintings of fish.

I posted a suggested distribution. http://paizo.com/campaigns/GrantasEvergreenArc1Core/discussion#48

Dividing up the pack can be a pain. Although the first time I played this we didn't think to check her backpack and the GM didn't mention it.

So I'll make some suggestions and let me know if you think anything should be changed.

potion of barkskin (Kranzer)
potion of cure light wounds (2) (Kranzer, Tishka)
potion of feather step (Huratas)
potion of vanish (Kranzer)
scroll of entangle (Loni)
scroll of gust of wind (Eveleth)
scroll of identify (Eveleth)
scroll of mage armor (CL 6) (Use on Drootini at some point)
scroll of obscuring mist (Loni)
wand of burning hands (CL 3, 4 charges) (Eveleth)
wand of cure light wounds (CL 3, 8 charges) (Loni)
acid flask (Kranzer)
alchemist’s fire (2) (Huratas, Tishka)
holy water (Huratas)
smokestick (Eveleth)
tanglefoot bag (Kranzer)
thunderstone (Loni)
antitoxin (Eveleth)
sunrod (2) (Loni, Huratas)

Everyone but Krazer has said they have played/GMed it.

Good enough for me.

Huratas follows Eveleth into the cave. "Hey that's not loot! She's not dead yet."

Normally when I play this I leave this choice up to anyone who hasn't played this before.

"Talk about a dogpile!"

Assuming the beast still lives Huratas will move into flanking with Kranzer and attempt to trip it.

Trip attempt(flank)(inspire): 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 2 + 1 = 26

"Seems a shame to kill dogs. Nature can be scary though."

Odds are he'll post in the morning but I'll provide an optional bot action just in case.

Huratas will move up and attempt Touch of Chaos on the puppy.
touch attack vs flatfooted puppy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Red enemy rols twice and takes the lowest for all d20 rolls this round.

Huratas lays out his whip, light crossbow, cold iron bolts, backpack, waterskin, rations x2, and 2 alchemist fires.

"I travel light."

"I am Huratas, devout worshiper of Calistria. I use the whip, And through Calistria's gifts I can change how lucky people are by touching them."

kn geography DC 10: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (1) - 2 = -1

"Are these Kortos Mounts under the sea? Will we also need gills?"

Huratas looks nervous.

"I can't swim."

Huratas observes the game but the rules confuse him and he quickly grows bored.

You forgot to add Tishka's +3 init bonus to Campaign Info. It just says 1d20+

A handsome halfling with a whip at his side chuckles at the commotion. "The place is called Pig's Paunch, There must be trough for those who are truly hungry. I will wait to be served real food."

Spells
0th Guidance, Stabilize, Read Magic
1st Bless x2, True Strike

Huratas will act according to the situation and botting him shouldn't come up anyway. Even on weekends I can at least manage a post in the morning and evening if needed.

No day job. Not going to mess with faction cards on this character. I can loan my wand of CLW to someone. I have other standard actions available.

Minor update. The character I plan to play for the other 2 scenarios will be a reach Fighter.
I have played Confirmation a few times before. Have any of us not played it? There are streamline options for if all players have played it before.

May as well provide a bit of info.
Huratas is a cleric of Calistria with high dex and the Weapon Finesse feat. In combat he can use Bit o' Luck on an ally, Touch of Chaos on an enemy, Cast Bless, Or try to trip an enemy with his whip.
Harder to do when you are small. Though my domain spell is True Strike for those times when I really want the trip to happen.

The maps link just links to the gameplay thread.

Are we doing Confirmation first? Because Huratas has 2xp and has played In Service to Lore so I plan to play him for one of the scenarios then switch to a Fighter (Archer) for the other 2.

Any word on when we'll get our chronicles?

Realizing how harsh justice is around here Huratas plans to take up a new career. Fighter or Cleric maybe. I have too many monks as it is.

boon: 1d20 ⇒ 18

Thank you for GMing.
