Sephia will speak out in a strained voice "Still breathing, after a fashion." with a thumbs up bring her self against the pallets and holding the elevator open for the weapons transfer.

She will look past the offices as they head out the door and realizes there is no time to clean off the top of them into a bag.

1) Demoralize #3
"You'd dare attack this sweet old lady." And glares down at him. Intimidating Glare
Intimidate: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 vs Will DC

2&3) Cast Snowball at #3
Atk: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
Cold!: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6

I'll get her sheet in here today, have to go pick up the laptop sometime today and not sure how long that will take with safety procedures.

Sephia looks at the glowing holograph without touching it not wishing to draw attention towards those working with the computer. "Would it not be a boon in your honor to this one? Bringing Villyth either dead or alive for reckoning. I'm sure that arrangements could be made that it be done in proper fashion without directly linking it back to you in the eyes of your fellows, but of course anything as farseeing will realize the proper care taken."

"You can also look at it this way we are business partners, it might not look good in the long term to have lost a legitimate shipment, the fact that we can do that and other types of transportation would be a long term benefit to you. If we can establish that this is a one off and not something we should be expecting long term."

I may have played way to much Forgotten Realms drow in the past.

Sephia looks up as she enters into the Starscape Chamber, the images of Nightarch reflecting in the visor of her Zeizerer diffractor armor that even in the middle of Lorespire is fully sealed. She slides into one of the seats absent any weapons.

"Forsaken creatures?" Sephia looks over at the comment that simply moves the faceplate of the helmet. "Does the society reject then out of hand such concepts like Sarenrae aspect of redemption? Hylax's aspect of diplomacy? Calistria's revenge and trickery? Yet we walk among the servants of Asmodeus and Hellknights among our ranks?" Her voice holds the accent of Eox though not what most hear on televised stations. "Or should all Forsaken creatures be cleansed from the Pact Worlds?"

Before getting a response she turns back to Naiaj. "I get the preference is to return the original shipment instead of arranging for replacements and holding those that lost it accountable. Is there is specific about this shipment that means we need the original? What other than general weapons we should be looking at in this shipment?"

"Do we know anything about this Villyth that we need to know? A reason they would have for wanting this shipment other than pure credits? Is this an unknown third party."

~~~

"Pilot, Information, elemental damage, for the most part." Sephia with great reluctance raises her hand up to the latch on the helmet. Regretfully with an audible sigh lowering the mirrored mask. The face is gray skinned but human, pale enough not to have seen solar energy for a while with white streaks through what may have been red hair. Grey eyes take in the party streaked with black. The voice lacking inflection as she replies. "Sephia."

"We help." Nako beams cheerfully. "Point us in direction, your busy many hands make quick work of work, and we have six!" Nako raises each hand empty and waves at Ponatia and the osharu that dropped the data pads.

Thank you Tonya and team. Glad to finally reach this point.

"Urgh... akk...Meek!" Nako uses her strength to attempt to hoist a random skitter on top of her which she can't identify through the balls of fur and armor to at least be able to see out the viewport.
Strength: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
"See now?"

The sound of skittermander screeches echoes in the cargo bay.

Followed by the rallying scream of rage while bringing the doshko down on the pirate, translation I don't want to die!!!

Attack!: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
flame damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

"Get to our escape pod... err... ship thing. We figure the rest out when not on impact collision with a planet!" Nako mentions grabbing a weapon in each hand for later use and starts to open the first door between the skitters and the cargo bay.

"We're not pets!" Nako explains as she swings the Doshko at the rushing Cyan robot.

"We're here to SAVE THE BOSS!!!"

Hey, we had people having issues referencing a lot of different charts while learning 2e chronicle sheets. So made a quick reference guide to all the information in one place and some refreshers.

Google Drive Link to Shared Quick Reference Guide

I've had this come up and it involves earn income as well.

typically Crafting, Lore, or Performance--to earn money during downtime...

In some cases, the GM might let you use a different skill to Earn Income through specialized work...If you're using a skill other than Crafting, Lore, or Performance, the DC tends to be significantly higher

No where in the guide or under Earn Income does it tell us what we are increasing these DCs by or if we are not allowing additional skills. I've been quoted this section by a player to allow them a check at all if they did not train Craft, Lore, or Performance.

In putting together a easy one page guide for filling out chronicle sheets I found a bit of an omission.

Under Earned Income of Downtime Guild Link to Downtimes There is nothing to let people know it's on pages 236-238 of the Core Book!

It just tells you where the DC chart is on page 503. Can this be added in to help people while we're learning / new players?

Nako stands there a free hand finding the drums on her writs and starting to beat out an appropriate beat for her mood. Moving from one foot to the other tapping the end of doshko.

Only need to listen a short while. its a long video

Nako stops at the edge of the door, with doshko in a hand little fingers twisting on the trigger. "But... But.... Nako come with boss?! Nako help Gree?" She jumps up looking through the view port that is made for someone much taller than a skittermander. After a moment she props the doshko against the door and climbing up the handle to look out the view port without jumping. One little skitter claw on the trigger making it turn on.

So now that we have reporting open I got to sit and report sheets that have been waiting and I came across something that it seems a point to make.

Why is the Organized Play # box this small? Most of my players and many without crazy large handwriting, are not fitting their number into this box making is a lot harder for reporters to read what we are typing in.

The longest and newest sets of numbers from our lodge for a 2e character is 11 in length, not counting the dash (12 with the dash).

The longest class name after the playtest will be Investigator at 12 - the current is 9 at Barbarian -- and these can be abbreviated and currently not needed for reporting.

Proposal: Switch the Class and Org Play # Boxes.

Reporting Sheet

I played these backwards, I was Nako before might as well stay the same.

Honestly the only thing they mean is commitment to the campaign as a whole. Some of my best and worst tables have been run by 5 star GMs. I've sat with 5 stars that have a soundtrack for the game set out, handouts and keep everyone engaged. Then people who you can tell the first time they are looking at something is while they are reading the introduction and happen to have maps and generic minis.

Some of my best tables have been run by 2 star GMs that what they have mostly run for people and their skills have been some of the best, but their experience falls under unsanctioned paizo content - so it doesn't count for their stars. I've had players while I'm an acting VA come up to me and ask why those GMs are not rated higher and have to explain stars are not a rating system.

I also agree with Xathos, I'm seriously scheduling a game with someone who can review me for 5 star and didn't even make the list either, as well as a few others who got to that point before me.

If not a full on pre-muster I'm sure we can figure something out that people are at the same table that they want to be.

(Other 10-21 GM for that time slot)

A Gargalus' suggestion Julakesh growls. "I know of this 'Aba-Dark-Ore!' They do nothing without payment! And they steal with their 'Into-Wrest!' Thieves and mercenaries! They will charge my kin credits they do not have just to stay here!" She grumbles some more. "BAH!"

She sits down on the ground and thinks. Judging by her face, she's thinking harder than you've ever seen her think before! "Hmmm... I wonder if there is some way to trick the Dark-Ores. Maybe they... hire my light-kin to clean this place? Keep it safe?" She perks up suddenly and looks to her good friend with the prodigious Mind-Muscles: Darkrunner. "Is this a good plan?"

"Please oh great repository of Mind-Muscles,"Kima replies keeping a hand over her mouth, which happens to still have her holy symbol hanging outside of her sleeve. "Are there good ways to trick the great Aba-Dark-Ores?"

Welcome to the party :)

I'm playing well... ok all the bad guys..

"Just a little...."Kima starts to reply and is then drowned out by the loud vesk voice followed by laughter. "...brused" She doesn't seem to be amused at all by the statement at all as she brushes herself off and looks around the area.

"It looks like it's climbable, but I think rope is being added to the supplies for next trip."

Athletics: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13

Kima will actually seem not the most nimble but she is randomly climbing a lightening pock marked wall.

I like Chess Pwn's way of spelling out the magnitudes quickly, which gives more versatility. For example, as Alchemic_Genius suggested, it can adapt to the Fear spell, too.

Then we add Andrew Riebe's suggestion of putting it in a saving throw line for added clarity.

The results look clean and clear.

FEAR Spell 1
Emotion, Enchantment, Fear, Mental
Casting [[A]] Somatic Casting, [[A]] Verbal Casting
Range 30 feet; Targets one creature
Duration by frightened magnitude
Saving Throw Will (S frightened 1 CS unaffected F frightened 2 CF frightened 3 and fleeing for 1 round)
You plant fear in the target. It becomes frightened and possibly fleeing with magnitude based on its Will save.

FIREBALL Spell 3
Evocation, Fire
Casting [[A]] Somatic Casting, [[A]] Verbal Casting
Range 500 feet; Area 20-foot burst
Saving Throw Reflex (S half damage CS unaffected F full damage CF double damage)
A burst of fire explodes, dealing 6d6 fire damage. Creatures in the area take a multiple of that damage based on their Reflex saves.
Heightened (+1) The damage increases by 2d6.

The keyword "basic" is not necessary and would only add to the jargon to memorize.

This would be much better than that "simplified" version of things, some of these "simplified" things are already confusing enough without the fact that the old White Wolf joke of "reference page X" for Paizo has turned into turn to x many pages to get the same amount of information as you could easily put on a page in one spot.

We've already had a lot of clarity issues that are being odd and not easily understandable with heightened as it is (should not have to reference the 5th level pregen to understand heal) due to having to flip back and forth a lot.

I'd rather not see more confusion in the write ups, not all spells are functioning like this where others have status effects instead or damage + status effects. It's bad enough when our group had to sit down for 10 minutes to understand the 'simplified' changes for Heal and still had to look up the level 5 pregen to finally understand how it was meant to come out vs. how it was worded.

We've been seeing too much of this 'know how it works from x page' that its way too much flipping back and forth right now to find how to read rules. It's become a thing where for Paizo products prepare to flip back and forth constantly instead of Old White Wolf's "see page X" jokes, and so far it's getting worse not better so far with the playtest.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Kima will be initially confused by their attempts at communication. She will create a way for all the party to communicate given party members are willing she's not going to force anyone in.

"Perhaps I might be able to help out a bit." She thinks for a moment scrinching up her nose in concentration. "Let me try something."

She will pick one that looks like they are attempting to communicate and attempt Empathy with it.
Sense Motive-Empathy: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26 vs. (DC = 20 or 10 + its Bluff modifier, whichever is higher)

Regardless of if it works or not, she'll attempt to Mindlink with the creature, attempting to at least mime the ability to talk with her mind. Showing them ship from the sky, coming from a place far away in the stars and the absence of a plant and a large ship in it's place. (Absalom Station basically) Regardless they are pre-flight Kima is horrible at navigation or anything that would give any semblance of how to fly there (Starfinder developed AutoPilot for people like Kima).

If possible she would like to know what's wrong with them, in an attempt to help them, and what the big monster is they are talking about.

Kima would at least hold back laughing at being greeted by a pirate after defeating a ship of pirates. Quickly counting the party orders them a table.

Rules of being a pathfinder

* Give Valsin a hard time
* Bonus points if you remind him his girlfriend is asking him to start this mission and its true
* Second one if he can't give you lip because you'll go back and tell her
* Survive anything given by Shiela Heidmarch (breath of life scrolls are a staple)
* Run far away if you see Canayven Heidmarch as your venture-captain
* Manage to not fall asleep during Kreighton Shaine explanations

Kima will aid who ever leads off on life science LS: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

Perc: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11 Once they have as much information as possible she will prepare the bodies to be returned to the ship as respectfully as possible noting any possible religious followings she can pick up from their appearance.

Julakesh lets out a deep belly laugh at Kima's words. "A-HAH! A-HAH! YOU SOFT ONES ARE ALWAYS SO MOODY! A-HAH!"

"Indeed we can be, according to standards of Common language, the tactic employed is archaically known to be given into moods or whims, a capricious sort." She smiles almost laughing. "I never knew you to be one that would read up on classics Julakesh! Congrats!"

"You always say we seem half-competent Julakesh, and then become impressed that the small squishy things have uses other than hitting big objects." Kima mentions leaning against the wall watching as agents move into the room and Guidance starts things off.

"It always seems your either sending Darkrunner to caress 'puters, or tossing myself at any half wit we need to impress. If you make this a third time I might not patch up your scales for you this time." She replies with a smile.

"I'm here on contract from Abadar Corp to see to your physical well-being." She mentions with an askance look over at Julakesh, "And perhaps general reference to applicable knowledges, observations, and as the Vesk would put it, talky things, and credits."

"So we're going to the marked site on the map, secure the site from hostile forces (including pesh induced solar elementals),"she adds under her breath. "Allow the data miners to get all the data, do not destroy, but gather and put back on ship useful equipment." She summarizes for those that don't like Guidance's speech patterns.

"Guidance, what areas of space are we headed to and are there any known socilo-, physico-, or astronomical threats and benefits we should be aware of and taken into consideration while in this area or in transit?"

"Does our 'benefactor' have any preference if all data is not obtainable as to which types of data or equipment they would rather have?"

Really only two roles Kima can fill:
* Captain (diplo +6)
* Gunner (+2 at least..)

Ok, so after this gencon, I realize we have pins... lots and lots of pins. 8 for Pathfinder Society and 5 for Starfinder Society - for factions alone.

Does anyone have a logically way to store/display these? Most of the solutions I see involve corkboards but that's not the best for going to game stores/conventions -- most of the 'badge holders' or lanyards have the they can fall off a lot issues. This seems more than reasonable to add to a dice bag - thus looking for suggestions.

Mike I have the Level 2 version underneath the current one so you can see it till we switch over. (and I'm not rushed leveling)

Hello! Looks like I'm here to patch people up again, and with more targets this time.

"Should hopefully be an interesting challenge moving through like a leaf on the wind."

Encourage: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Action: "Dem Bones can't keep on flying forever, eventually they will break and shatter." assisting pilot

Phase: Helm
Role: Captain
Action: "We can do this, surely we can move faster than that pile of old bones." Kima will encourage the pilot.

Phase: Gunnery
Role: Captain
Action: Encourage to Kitul "We should be able to get the opening shot in and make them feel it in their bones."

This is the don't mind me thing. As our illustrious GM can tell you I'm a big Fluff Settings junkie and make things that reflect a lot of the neat stuff they give us to work with.

Ok a lot more in PF then SF but it's still there and fun!

This was going to be our 10th year in a row, but after moving and adjusting our lifestyle accordingly, we don't quite have the $$ we would normally drop (we ussually go to town @ gencon). Hopefully next year.

We've been considering switching from gencon to origins though. Haven't arrived at a conclusion however.

I'm local here to Origin's but still looking at next year getting a room on site so I don't have to worry too much about back and forth.

Room wise - its a lot easier and cheaper to get a room for Origin's than GenCon. We don't have the mall attached but your right in the heart of the Arena District in the off season so there are tons of food options in walking distance (by distance I'd say the most your walking is two blocks - less than the distance between Paizo land and Scotty's)

The last few years I've driven down, it hasn't been horrible, parking is about 12-15 depending on your garage per day. The only thing if your off site, get here early. Parking does indeed fill up, and every year we share the same 4-5 blocks with the Pride Parade so that fills in starting about 9am on those days.

It's a much smaller vendors space but a lot of heart felt guys and a lot more demos than I see at GenCon. It used to be that Origin's was "the Board Game Con" over the last few years doing both Origin's and GenCon - it's been shifting to GenCon for not only pen and paper but board games as well. Is sad but it is what it is. This year we've seen the resurgence of return of some vendors but not all of them. We haven't seen chessex in years, but Reaper has returned and a few others. The other odd thing about Origins vs GenCon is that some of your vendors will be interspersed with the gaming halls. Reaper, Malifaux, and others are where their demos take place. Same with Gale Force 9 and a few others.

Crosses fingers!

Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

Kima will cheer as the damage goes through the ship before her. Being her first time in ship combat will look over at the loud Vesk in Julakesh. "This is how shooting thing works why for the other gun only make little scratches.?" who is obviously teasing.

crit: 1d100 ⇒ 46
4: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Phase: Gunnery
Role: Gunner
Action: If our ship engages then attacks which ever ship is closest to being attacked as necessary. Will not attack if other ship becomes defenseless.
