It's a shame though. 'Slapstick-comedy heavy rinse-cycle mode' would have been fricken hilarious. And, who knows, Prilla might have considered it fun. Maybe someone should shove her in an Aqueous Orb, with a waterbreathing on of course.

Looks like it's just another small maze of corridors so far.

Round 6:

Momo's performance started off okay, but went rapidly downhill and off the charts.

Given I'm a merfolk but .... I got a bit of an idea .... it's basically human down to the hips .... except for the gills ... and the bigger lungs and the .... oh never mind.

Anyone else? Otherwise let's see what happens in the following round.

Nightkit is having fun, just frolicking in the water and even breathholding underwater for minutes at a time. She does pop up from time to time to get updated translations.

Believe it or not, I know a little bit

arcana: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

But whether or not that's enough, I don't know.

I believe we do. Thank you Venture Captain sir. Come along everyone. We should get going before the librarian explodes.

She puts actions to words by spinning on one heel and departing out the door.

Levelled and profile line updated.

Speaking of the shiny man and the lizard ..... the Shining Knight hears the following

Oh woah is me ... where is my Knight in Shining Armour to rescue me. For I am a damsel in distress, in duress vile ... Will no body save me

It comes from the spot marked '4' on the map - or seems to as the Shining Knight wasn't sure he heard it with his ears - or his mind.

Awesome owls? Luciola squeaks. She is a tiny glowing humanoid sprite on the bar. How about terrifying owls? I mean, here am I, a little flying sprite and this owl sneaks up behind me and tries to catch me in it's talons. Well .... I'm having none of that so I blew faerie dust in it's eyes.

But yeah, if you want a third judge. I'm game.

She glares at the owl. You'd better not be catching us faeries Silence.

I haven't found any reference to the 7 PC rule being rescinded so the 7th player is in if they still want it.

Nemesis - aren't you supposed to be rolling initiative on another table :)

Prilla sticks close behind Dimak. She also quietly sings to herself.

Don't you know you never split the party ...

perform sing: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Song

With the treat of destruction averted, you are able to explore the place properly. You find several spellbooks on the shelves near the statue of Isis including the Journeyman Book of Rul Thaven ((Pathfinder RPG Ultimate Magic 123)), complete with its preparation ritual as well as Insights of Far-Seeing Taernis ((Ultimate Magic 124)0 with its preparation ritual, as well as seven tins of unguent of timelessness used to further preserve valuable relics as well as numerous valuable scrolls and historical records.

You can also extract a few records from the Sky Vault as you discover most of them are missing.

Once you are satisfied you have done everything you can, you can exit the library. Tahonikepsu returns several hours later, and reports that with time and care, she might be able to repair the beacon and use it to locate the other wayward sage jewels. She also compliments you on your resourcefulness, particularly with regards to the flawed sage jewel.

The actions of the Amethyst Sage trouble her greatly, and she muses aloud whether other sages might have also survived the Qadiran attacks and either passed their knowledge on to proteges or secured exceptional longevity. Either way, she notes your efforts may have drawn the attention of the current bearer of the amethyst, and that sage might contact her and return to the order.

Saruna demands Tahonikepsu lift her geas and grant her freedom. Tahonikepsu allows the sphinx to depart, albeit with some reservations about losing an ally from a past age. Saruna thanks you while plotting revenge against the Amethyst Sage.

Tahonikepsu greets the inevitables as unexpected foreign dignitaries trespassing in her home. She politely agrees to collaborate in finding the Amethyst Sage, but insists on revisiting the sage’s alleged crimes in light of more recent events. The inevitables acknowledge her request, but they make no promises.

Venture-Captain Norden Balentiir is pleased to hear of your success, and he is delighted to receive any maps of the Pillars of the Sun that you may have made. He spends several days comparing your notes to other records before drawing out a more accurate map of the region, promising you that he can create a copy for you the next time you explore the region.

--- Adventure concluded. ---

You all get both your Prestige Points, the Charted Pillars Boon and all Scarab Sages members get the Honoured Acolyte Boon.

Some undines may disagree

There's nothing specific to be found here. The tunnels look rough cut as if made by burrowers. As well as penetrating into B4, they also penetrate into a large circular chamber.

If you won one, it's part of the reporting.

Ah .. you're a student of the Janira Gavix school of bardic inspiration. Nightkit quips.

Well ... that's a first Nightkit grumbles. Being .... discharged from service after the first night. Seriously did I really do that badly last night? Was it just me or did anyone else dream of Madame Zelekhati making sandmen?

diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Seems there used to be a snake cult in this area. Worshipped Apep. But the Sarenites dealt to them.

Of course, upon arrival, she's the first down the well - a bit more rapidly than planned.

climb: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

SPLAT!

There's a tunnel down here

She drinks a Darkvision potion and takes point.

Here's a link to a post that might be helpful

That should open up the campaign and gameplay tag. Recruitment and Discussion tags get activated when you manually set them up in the Campaign.

Was it a rocky relationship? Cerisa can't resist teasing Tessara.

I don't think so. It's only those things that they can claim as their 'intellectual property' that would need to be avoided. Trying that on class names would just see them laughed out of court I suspect.

But getting back to the original question. The remastering rules say:

If a character option has been reprinted with the same name, use the new version as if it were errata. No additional retraining is necessary.
Example: divine lance has been reprinted with new Remaster-compatible rules. All PCs with divine lance must update the spell accordingly.

If a character option has not been reprinted, characters are free to use the option as previously printed, or to select it at any time.
Example: the brooch of shielding has not been reprinted. Characters may still purchase and use a brooch of shielding.
Example: the produce flame spell has not been reprinted, but ignition takes its place thematically. Characters may learn either spell anytime they would learn a new spell, and could learn both spells if they chose.

By that definition, it seems that magic missile and force barrage are two different spells even if they have identical effects, which also implies that a Brooch of Shielding will block one but not the other, as Pirate Rob stated.

Attacks: Cursed Gaze, Sandstorm. Resistances: Acid, Electricity. Languages: Abyssal, Celestial, Infernal. Madame Diva's Palace at the Grand Bazaar; Spellcasters and Beauty; Hot pepper and screaming souls.

Hetkoshus ... huh .... and in another land they're called Mutuwhaks. And yeah ... I have tangled with one before now. She ponders a bit. Anyway, yeah, I thought there were six of us. Maybe Theron came in ahead and is attempting to drink your pubs dry. Wouldn't put that past him, but he'd better have left me some.

She hands around waiting for Merida to pass through, staying close in case a 'hand-off' is required.

Sounds like Cheliax a bit

And they sing rather well

Ooooh ..... nice one Tess .... have to remember that

Gameday it will be then.

I could if those that wanted it prefer to.

As it turns out - Beacon Below is on my list to GM

Game has been reported.

Your Chronicles are here

I have to admit most of my studies were indeed done in solitude. I was tutored by my uncle, who was also a Pathfinder of the Old School. He ... also had ideas which ... come to think of it were a bit strange, but they seemed to make sense at the time. So, there was not much time for ... socialization, something I am only now coming to grips with. I have been getting a lot of advice from my ... counsellor ... but much of this has yet to be put into practice but it was on her insistence that I spend some time in Seedy's bar.

Even magic has it's laws and it's limitations, whether or not it is arcane, divine or primal. So there is the possibility of a unification theory, something that my uncle Patrick also believed in as well. I am ... just basically carrying on his work. Plus some spells do fall into more than one category although it could be argued that they are different spells in construction but have the same effect.

The wink doesn't seem to have bothered him, as it seems he has endured worse but he does acknowledge it with a slight smile.

Although I do have a question for you Leo. Have you managed to balance your studies of magic with being social? I am attempting to seek that balance.

He also wears a holy symbol of Desna - a recent addition by the look of it.

I'm GMing four different scenarios (3 SFS, 1 PFS1e) at the moment but a couple are nearly finished. When that happens, I can look at 6-14 if you're still interested.

Do you two need a translator? Glinda grins, looking up from her book.

If Blackfeather sings it again. Glinda adds her own harmonies
perform: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

I've got quite a few replay points so I can use one if I have to, but I presume, since this is Core - and I haven't played the Confirmation in Core before that it should be okay.

As long as it isn't the women's bathroom. Jack does not feel like going boldly where no man has ever gone before.

Doesn't that belong to the museum? Jack asks. Besides - I got my own coin.

He nips out and purchases a six-pack of cure light wound potions.

Hi

Chronicle received, applied and filed. Thanks.

International Rescue returning to base.

Tempestas stands guard near Zhaxia but on occasion his eye is drawn to the gleaming greenish tinged evening star.

Betel Capella - a level 6 Elementalist.

Also have played and GMed this before.

Betel is an undine/elf who works as a librarian, loves to swim and is a bit shy in company, preferring books. Her mother was also a Pathfinder (1st edition) and she graduated top of her class from Dacilane Academy.

Oh - the player? I'm a VA from Auckland, New Zealand and I'm fascinated with astronomy, quantum physics and cosmology. I'm also a cat person.

I just signed up - been waiting for an opportunity to play this in Standard mode. I'll see if the wife wants to play as well.

Here is a signup sheet for 1-16 - Dreaming of the Future

Tempestas tries again to craft some posters. The first attempt ended up in the bin.
craft: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21

Thank you

I do have a character for that but he's busy at the moment. Maybe not too long though - not sure. It feels like we're close to the end.

Patrick has met Fortiva and Astrid twice before - he still feels a bit intimidated :)

And Fortiva was there when he said something wrong to Fuschia who told him off - which is when he realised he really did have a psychological problem.

Is it okay to have two of my PCs talking to each other in the Gameplay Thread? No one seems to be using it at the moment and maybe others will join in.

And since there is only one year left for SFS1 I'm seriously considering starting to use replay points in order to make tables fly.

The image I'm getting is a sleeping Katrina curled up catlike on the hay surrounded by sleeping drakes

Katrina is starting to get rather worried that Desna is deliberately denying them luck because of what she said.

Punish me - not them
