The usual time limit is a scenario block at a con, usually 4 hours. For PbP it was a room limit. Once you hit half the rooms, it was concluded.

Unless the boxes are checked (and I just uploaded a new Pig chronicle to reflect his brush with disease) then you can safely ignore that boon.
The chronicles are here! Let me know if anything needs altering. Otherwise, thanks for playing and I'll set this to inactive by Friday.
Aroden, I agree. It was written for a simpler time, when the APG had only just come out and there were many less feats, spells and options in the mix. If it were written today, with the benefit of all that 1st edition eventually came to be, I think it would be much different and much deadlier.
Yes, the alchemist watches from hiding for 10 rounds, then intervenes.
For reference, you guys managed to trigger two CR 10 encounters at once - the golem and the alchemist and her hench-demons. You guys did pretty well against them and I'm 75% sure you would have been able to win without character death. Still working on chronicles. Work has been... busy recently.
A sudden surge of spectral rats erupts from the stairs behind the throne, rushing forth like a tidal wave! You try to fight, but you are driven from the dungeon without mercy, without cease. It is only when you finally see the light of day above that you stop running and take stock of your allies and find them all with you, though sorely wounded by bites and claws! Heading back to the Lorespire, you report your news. Ambrus Valsin listens to your reports and congratulates you on surviving the ordeal, telling you that another expedition deeper into the 'Keep is being planned, and to standby in case your expertise is needed again. Until then, Pig finds himself strangely cured of his disease when he left the dungeon, but a persistent sniffle may always plague him. For the diseases of Bonekeep are strange and terrible, and who knows what effects they may yet have on him? Or what effect they may have on the world should the dark masters below ever escape?
I have forgotten how much Pathfinder 1st edition knowledge I have already filed away in mental boxes for storage. So many hours devoted to this system and it burned me out about three years ago. I had moved on and really hadn't noticed how much. NostalgiaCon ends March 6th. I will report this game at that point. Go ahead and roll any dayjob checks you have.
for additional damage!
Instead of flying off she lays on the ground and draws a dagger! Selune steps and attacks! Only her second attack lands, and she takes 1 point of acid damage as vials break! Vrothum attacks demon rats!
He deals less damage than he hoped! Round 3:
Red steps into flank with yellow and both attack Vrothum! for damage plus Fort Save vs Disease at a -2!
for damage plus Fort Save vs Disease at a -2!
Okay, realized that the act of alchemy provokes specifically before the ranged attack occurs, so Poh interrupts and trips!
The rat draws her vial and begins to mix it. Poh lashes out, tripping her. She falls to the ground and cannot throw! However, she does suddenly fly away!
Poh's cold iron punch does damage, but the cold does much less than he expects! He reaches toward the bomber, but does he hit? He misses, his hand catching only air! Khugron swings three times at the construct, but he misses the wily foe! Round 2:
The ratfolk bomber hisses at Poh! She takes a 5' step back from Pig westward and throws a bomb at Poh! It hits, dealing fire damage to the monk and catching him on fire! Pig and Vrothum must make Reflex Saves for half damage vs splash damage of 9 fire! The splash seems to miss the demons and herself!
Okay, still need Mun and Pig's boon rolls. I'll report this by 3/6, but we should be done by then or shortly thereafter.
Alright, we are approaching the end of Nostalgiacon! Please roll a d20 for possible boon winning.
Pig's attacks hit hard, dealing wicked wounds to the Yellow rat demon! The construct takes a five foot step into the center of the room, and throws a vial of something steaming at Aroden! for acid damage! The splash damage deals damage to the adjacent table, which explodes! to anyone adjacent to the table, Reflex DC 15 for half damage and an additional Fortitude save vs disease! Round 2:
Mun, you did and I missed it when I was assembling my posts. Thank you for including that, it is very useful to have!
for damage plus acid damage and a Fort Save vs Disease! The construct lashes out as Mun moves through its threatened area! Mun moves and prays! Aroden uses his newly found ring and force smashes into the construct! A few vials on its person break and spray liquids!
Good catch! I thought claws were P/S. Turns out they are B/S. I'll make the adjustment to damage dealt.
You do. You get 4 reputation. I reported it correctly but forgot it on the chronicles.
Vrothum bites and claws in a flurry on the dire rats, killing them both! Selune steps and attacks, but only her claw hits! However it deals less damage than Mun expects, and Selune takes 1 point of acid damage as a vial of acid on the construct breaks open! Round 2:
The yellow rat demon hisses from the ground. He concentrates and a cloud of disease spreads over the room! Yellow then stands up, provoking an AoO! Red demon hisses happily as the greasy cloud rises! He takes a five foot step and attacks Poh!
Round 2:
Thanks for pointing that out, Whitegourd! I have not been active in org play due to a new job for the last few years and I fear I missed changes. I'll just let you guys record your own then. I should have chronicles up soon!
Okay, I forgot we need Downtime activities, too. If you could post them, I'd appreciate it!
Poh trips the yellow rat demon! Khugron smashes into the construct, breaking some vials on the creation! Round 1:
From the southern filth pile, two dire rats erupt! They each take a 5' step and attack Poh and Vrothum!
for plus Fort Save vs Disease! The purple rat manages to get a bite in on Poh! From behind the throne, a ratfolk erupts! She lets out a screeching battlecry, scampers behind the Rat Demons and flings a vial of something bubbling at Khugron! It hits for and Khugron catches fire! Poh and Aroden each take 9 fire damage (Reflex DC 18 for half). Round 1:
Gamicon in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Have fun!
Round 1:
Pig attacks the demon! Only his first attack lands and deals damage! Aroden's images save him from injury and he withdraws down the stairs! Mun buffs and prays! The Construct moves with strange grace as it slams into Khugron twice!
Unfortunately yes, you must start the process all over again!
As Khugron, Mun and Selune round the corner, they see the room before them. This vast chamber contains a number of tables, shelves, and crates covered in alchemical equipment, much of which appears to be in use. Flasks bubble and boil, emitting strange smoke, while other bits of strange glassware contain liquids that seem to shift color at random intervals. In the center of it all is a tall statue made of steel, bedecked with odd crystal vials, tubes, and jars, bubbling with glowing green liquid. They also spot a rickety construction of glass tubing, metal, and wood convey the brain and two eyes afloat in this figure’s glass skull. However, it's not collapsed in a heap, it's standing and reared back to strike! At the same time, there is a soft POP and the remaining heroes appear on the floor above! A wide chamber overlooks the laboratory below. There are
Initiative
Round 1:
SURPRISE! Two rat demons erupt from the filth piles! They hiss and spit! Red Rat Demon steps forward and attacks Aroden! It bites and claws!
Yellow Rat Demon hisses springs forward! It bites at Pig!
Round 1:
ROUND 1:
Scratch, FRanzine, Elsha, Azu and Nal connect! Scratch, Franzine, Azu and Nal attune! Elsha spends his last 2 actions trying to attune! Scratch tries to manipulate, but fails, spending 2 actions. Franzine spends 2 actions and succeeds fabulously! Azu spends 2 actions and succeeds! Whitegourd tries to keep their friends alive! Nal spends 2 actions and succeeds! Round 2: Suddenly the ground heaves and bucks beneath your feet! The ground shakes violently.
Azu hauls to the rift's edge and is able to drag the final dangling Agent from the rift. A copper coin falls from the Pathfinder's pocket and Azu has a front row seat as it plummets into the rift and is shredded through all time. He shudders to think what that would have done to a person!
“The rifts are pulling us into the past,” Jirneau counters. “We need to force the Eternity Arch to seal these rifts, or we’llbe stranded here!”
Step one: Connect! To connect with the Eternity Arch, a creature must Interact to touch it. As you do, you take mental damage, DC 18 basic Will Save! Step two: Attune! To attune, you must make a DC 19 Fortitude save as a single action while connected! On a success, it attunes to the Eternity Arch. On a failure, it becomes clumsy 1 (or increases its clumsy value by 1, to a maximum of 3) as the Eternity Arch temporarily ages it. Once a creature is attuned to the Eternity Arch, it can attempt to manipulate it. Step three: Manipulate! To seal the rifts, the PCs must gain a total number of Manipulation Points equal to twice the number of PCs. A character attuned to the arch can attempt a DC 18 Arcana, Nature, Occultism, Religion, or Thievery check by spending 2 actions with the concentrate and manipulate traits. Let's take this by Rounds. We'll keep the Rift initative order! ROUND 1:
[ooc]Heroes are up for Round 1! Assume you begin standing adjacent to the Arch!
Azu hauls Green up with a superheroic effort!
ROUND 2: HEROES MAY ACT!
ROUND 1:
Scratch fights his way to the edge and hauls Pink out of the pit! Franzine sets her legs and hauls not one, not two, but THREE pathfinders from the pit! Elsha moves closer and gets ready with a rope to catch anyone in need! Azu? Whitegourd summons a giant fly, who swoops in snag a slightly disgused but grateful grey Pathfinder from the column! Nal uses Elsha's secured rope to help haul Yellow out! SAVED: Pink, Light Blue, Black, Purple, Yellow, Grey
Whitegourd flings fire at Green! The fire consumes the beast much quicker than it should, leaving a greasy stain behind! Scratch repositions and reloads! His shot hits the hound! It staggers, and seems to collapse in on itself, leaving behind a greasy spot as well!
"HELP! HELP US!" the dangling Pathfinders cry out as you dispatch the Hounds!
Perception
ROUND 1:
I'm going to say we're at 5 minutes after searching, well-spelunking and healing. It's a good round number. Re-up your buffs as needed.
Franzine slashes at Red, but receives damage as she meets its gaze! Nal hits, but the creature seems resistant to her damage! She too takes damage as wounds open on her body! Azu's first strike hits, and he too takes damage as bloodless wounds open on his body! Elsha steps and strides and throws his bomb! His bomb hits, but there seems to be a feedback loop! Elsha takes mental damage as images of strange dimensions beyond human comprehension assail him! On top of that, his bombs seemed to do less damage than he thought they should! ROUND 2! FLASHBACK: “Hounds of Tindalos! These are the creatures that pursued Heraxia!” Ashasar exclaims. “They’ll weaken away from angles!”
