I don't have the exact wording in front of me but as I recall there are three things about Wayfinders on the chronicle. 1)If this is the first time playing "PFS 5-08 The Confirmation" with any character at all then you get your Wayfinder for free, no gold cost, no prestige cost. This is true no matter what the PFS # the character is. (Ken here is my #5 and is getting his wayfinder for free because I've never played The Confirmation before now.) 2)If you have already played "PFS 5-08 The Confirmation" with another character then you must pay 1PP to get your Wayfinder. (Ajax, my #8 who right now is in another PbP Confirmation game will have to pay 1 prestige for his wayfinder if he survives (AC 19 and the DM rolls 2 20's and confirms the crit on the second one!)) 3)If this is the very first chronicle your character gets, regardless of whether or not you the player have played the confirmation, than any upgrades you what to spend prestige on for your wayfinder will cost 1 point of prestige less. (Ken will not get the discount as this is his second chronicle (First Steps Part 1 was his first), Ajax (if he lives) will get the discount, because playing in The Confirmation was the first thing I've ever done with him.) As for new purchases, you used to write the item on the bottom or the back of your chronicle and the GM who just gave the chronicle to you would intial the gold spent. (Or the GM at the start of your next game would see what you spent in between games and note that on your next chronicle. These days there is an inventory sheet witch to be honest I haven't used much because I've been away from PFS for a while (*cough* close to 3 years *oough*). I assume you record your purchases on it and either your current GM or your next one signs off on it. PbP tends (or at least tended) work on the honor system pretty much on purchases to some degree. You post what you what to buy and the GM notes the gold spent on your chronicle rather than taking the time to record each item for you on an inventory sheet. Your experience may vary.
Bolty, Korosh went from 7 or 8 rounds of paralysis to just 2 as we moved from the last map to the current one. You probably reloaded either when you were moving or when we were picking up Korosh to move him. I think it's safe to say you were ready to fire when we cave out of the cave. Bethany, Korosh took all the potions from Janira's backpack and she had labeled each one clearly. Janira's potions:
potion of barkskin
potions of cure light wounds (2) potion of feather step potion of vanish Bethany and Shota I don't know if either of use can use any of Janira's scrolls or that wand she had in her pack, if you can now might be a good time.
"Yes, I can carry him. Mask grab his feet. I'll get his shoulders. Bethany grab his pack and start looking for the healing potions he took from Janira's pack. Shota get his sword. Bolty you're on point. Let's move Janira's counting on us." Putting action to words Ken grabs Korosh up under his shoulders, and starts moving down the tunnel once Mask grabs his legs.
Earlier, immediately after the battle at the stream. Ken says "Let's see to that injury, Korosh" Ken looks it over, "Well I can see to you it's only a scratch, but no sense in letting is linger." Ken channels a burst of healing energy.
Now in the tunnel Ken steps five to the north and hurls a dart at cube. for
Agile Feet:
Agile Feet (Su): As a free action, you can gain increased mobility for 1 round. For the next round, you ignore all difficult terrain and do not take any penalties for moving through it. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier. "My Lady," Ken breathes out as he moves into the stream to attack the last of the creatures, using his lady's gift of Agile Feet to aid him in his journey. for
Bit of Luck:
(Sp): You can touch a willing creature as a standard action, giving it a bit of luck. For the next round, any time the target rolls a d20, he may roll twice and take the more favorable result. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier. "There's not a lot of room to maneuver!" Ken exclaims as he tries to find a way forward to the foe. Not seeing a way that doesn't hinder an ally. He gives up, reaches out and touches Mask on the shoulder. "My Lady's blessings" giving Mask a Bit of Luck.
"No," Ken says with a sigh, "Let's go Explore." He puts his notebook back into his pack and turns away from the model city. As he starts to step away, he pauses, and turns back around. Reaching into his belt piece he grabs a coin, cast light on it and places it on the model's streets. "For the Solider," he says. He then grabs a coin of similiar value saying "and for the Merchant". "Now lets go"
Ken nods silently back at Shota, answering his unspoken question with a yes. He thinks to himself what did he mean this place's power hasn't completely faded yet? The only things we've seen here are the carvings from The History and Future of Humanity and the model of Absalom. I wonder ... Ken pulls out his his notes and reads over the section he just wrote about the wall carvings and compares it to the city model. The Soldier, The Merchant, The Tailor, and The Farmer he thinks.
tiny trinkets such as ancient coins, polished semiprecious stones, and ornately braided loops of string are scattered throughout the diorama,

"Calm yourself, Korosh"Ken says in soothing tone. "I think he's just noticing how much your new garment resembles his own rainment" "Neighbor", Ken says addressing the gillman with a friendly, smile on his face. "We're explorers, archaeologists, historians, and agents of the Pathfinder Society here on a graduation exercise of sorts." Ken keeps his body language open and non threating as he continues. "My name's Kennaniah. We've been tasked to explore these caves and see what has been drawing your people here so far from the sea. What draws you here to this place of worship to a dead God?"
"Yes, I am wondering about that the bundle, and a great deal of other things." He sets his shield down, reaches into his backpack and starts making notes. Muttering to himself. "Petroglyphs- marine animals/spiral shape, more frequent deeper into cave, blue-green fungi- luminescent, pit trap with cloth bundle at bottom." He looks up, "Explore. Report. Cooperate. Isn't anybody else going to take notes?" Then with a prayer to his Lady, casts detect magic.
"Someone should carry it who won't be slowed down by it." Kennaniah nods at Shota. "Maybe you should look in there. Might be something we could use if we really had to." Touching his shield and saying a prayer to Desna he casts light on his shield, he then adds "Two light sources are better than one. This won't last long but I can renew it whenever I need to and it won't interfere with your sunrod."
"Thank you for saying I'm well prepared Ms Gavix, but I'm sure you know that one of the rules of an expedition is that you always think of something else you need or want once you're on the road." Ken shakes his head in a rueful manner. "I'm afraid as you were talking I realized I needed a few small things” Looking around the room, Ken continues "I normally consider myself support if combat occurs, moving around healing and aiding my fellows. Today, however, I think that I may be the best armored person here so, I’ll most likely take a place in the frontline.”
Ken pulls some more flasks out of his backpack. ”Sometimes you run into things that require just the right solution to deal with. I’m not much of a ranged combatant but her are two flasks each of Holy Water, Alchemist’s Fire, and Acid. If any of you think you’ve got good aim you’re welcome to help yourself to any or all of these. If they don’t get used you can give them back to me." purchases:
spring loaded wrist sheath (5gp), 2 vials vermin repellant (10gp), and a flask of bladeguard (40gp). Total 55gp spell change: It looks like I’ll have time to change my memorized spells, so I’m going to memorize a second divine favor in place of bless and true strike in place of longstrider.
Perception Check:
A tall good looking young man, wearing Desna's holy symbol on a chain around his neck looks over at Mask and says in a voice a bit louder than normal "Gillmen not hillman, elder, there's something strange going on when a Gillman goes into a cave in the hills." He smiles and nods. "I'm Ken, humble worshiper of Desna."
Player name: Ghost1776 (Bob Tyson)
Also I would like to spend 2PP for a Wand of Cure light Wounds. plus 190 gp for: 1 flask of Alchemist's fire
And I add my thanks for GMing as well!
Would anyone mind if I play my second level Ranger (Tyr Sallagrimson) instead of Ken here? We have a druid, a cleric, and an Alchemist I don't think Ken really adds that much to that mix and we're lacking fighter types.
PFS# 93713-5 Sorry I can't play. I am intrested in Mists of Mwangi, but will be running my own Homebrew PbP Pathfinder campaign then so I'm cutting back my player time. If your intrested it's the "So I Have a Map" recruitment thread, even if your not intrested in playing I would welcome any comments or suggestions.
"I'll help you start the cooking, but you have to understand that if you don't own up to all your misdeeds then when the head of the Silver Crusade gets our report things are quickly going to go bad for you. She's a paladin of Sarenrae, you know type, forgiveness and mercy for those seeking redemption, destruction and justice for those who don't."
Maybe I misrembered the time day the witness said he saw the criminals pay you the money. After all I'm trying to keep you alive, keep you out of jail, and keep your great work continuing, I'm not trying to get you in trouble Auntie, I'm trying to get you out. We had enough information to get a full investigation launched before we ever knocked on your door today. Child endangerment, misappropriation of charitable contributions, inappropriate child labour, it would take a lawyer to make out the full list of charges. Our trip here wasn't to convince ourselves of your guilt or innocence but to find out if you were worthy of the Silver Crusade's aid. I for my part truly believe you are worthy. The children are well taken care of and are happy. My colleague even pointed out how some of the children that being sent out to labour are learning useful skills. I admit I was pretty upset about the child labour at first, but as I thought about the learning aspect ... that has some real possibilities if we can refine .... I sorry I'm getting off track. Auntie let me stress your guilt is not in question. It doesn't even matter if you think you are guilty or not, mere suspicion can ruin a charity and see it director ruined or in jail. What we have to do now is to about getting you free of your alcohol addiction and whatever else were going to need make disappear or at least can be made to be over looked if the wrong investigators show up.
After sitting down Ken begins to speak. "First lest me assure that I myself think that you are doing an excellent job here and meeting a real need of the community. I'm personally going to do what I can to see that whatever happens, your home here remains a place were children are safe, happy, and can heal. To that end I promise to stop by at least once a week whenever I'm in Absalom or send someone in my place." Sighing, Ken leans forward and looks Ms Baldwin in the eye with compassion "Unfortunately Auntie, and I do hope you will let me call you that, you are drinking yourself to death. As I said before I've not yet had any formal training in the healing arts, but your case is so far advanced, training is not needed if one has the slightest suspicion of a problem. Suspicions which were easily gained with but the slightest bit of investigation on the parts of my colleagues and I earlier today. You see we weren't merely asked to deliver medicine today by The Silver Crusade but to determine how much of its limited resources could be devoted to help you. I do sincerely hope we can avoid jail time for you Auntie." "Now our main concerns upon coming hear today, were your drinking, your meeting with criminal elements in the middle of the night, and forced labour of the children. I think depending on the reports of my fellows we will be able to keep you out of jail. You are really doing a wonderful job here and I want that to continue."
"There's some truth in your words. There always seems to be demands on my time that take me away from the things I would rather be doing, and I assure, Ms. Baldwin, that listening to your stories and spending time in your company is by far the most pleasant thing I've had to do today." Ken smiles warmly, and maintains eye contact with the Ms Baldwin, after all everything he just said is one hundred percent true and he can be totally sincere. "Your are right about time pressing on us however. We should go down stairs, perhaps to the kitchen or sitting room. My friends and I have to give you the medicine we brought of course and I'm afraid we have to continue our conversation. You will want to be sitting, I'm afraid their some bad news coming, tempered by good news too as I hope you'll see." |
