Since Paizocon South East starts on the 5th of September (New Zealand local), hopefully some of us Kiwis can get qualifying games in before the deadline.

Tempestas steps back. The local matriarch, and his immediate superior, has spoken.

Archer's Fort saves - down the spectrum from Red to Purple.
fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 Red
fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14 Orange
fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17 Yellow
fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15 Green
fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19 Cyan
fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22 Blue
fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 Purple
fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 Magenta

I can step in if required, having played and GMed this before.

Spica treats Pai to a delicious ice cream dessert, including fruit and chocolate, as promised, which they share. Very decadent but, after that mission, totally worth it.

Over the next few weeks, Spica starts using paperweights - very heavy ones, as well as asking someone to watch her as she sleeps in case she is sleep walking.

Thank you

Wellll ... maybe you saw me in my circus days. The Remarkable Rani ... acrobat and escape artiste with Cirque d'Absalom. Or maybe more recently as the star in the Perils of the Little Mermaid. Or maybe in a few commercials for Poshkettle Tea. Or maybe you've seen me on the junk racer circuit.

Biggest impact huh? Sorry. That's one I'd rather not talk about. Sometimes real bad stuff happens when you're a Starfinder. She sighs. Sorry kid ... I'm afraid I'm not being very inspirational at the moment. HEY! CUPI! GET OVER HERE!

Rani is a sneaky type operative although she's an icon who does acrobatic and escape artistry tricks. She also has the starring role in The Perils of the Little Mermaid

If anyone let's her fly a starship, be prepared for a wild ride.

Have played this scenario before.

That is actually true Prilla comments as she flutters near the ceiling. Blood and bone make good fertilizer.

Do two witches make a coven?

Yeah. You'll think they'd be 'arm-less'

Spica is knocked unconscious, just as she was reaching for a particularly interesting book. How rude.

Betel is usually stoic and show little emotion. But after hearing Meadow's story, she started to smile. She put her hand over her mouth to hide it, then giggled. The giggle then turned into a chuckle, then full on laughter.

Once she recovered. I am SO sorry, I wasn't laughing at you, but at the absurdity of the situation. And I had been wondering how Master Ezrin had got so ink splattered that day.

Still. I am sure that Silence has learnt his lesson ... and I had mentioned before then that those free standing bookshelves could be unstable. Do you wish me to put in a good word to the Head Librarian to get that ban lifted?

Yes it does actually. The intro says Long ago in another part of the universe, an autonomous probe designed to explore naturally occurring rifts in the fabric of space discovered one that led to a very unexpected place indeed—Golarion. Passing through the heightened magical fields surrounding Golarion transformed the probe’s artificial intelligence into an animating spirit and altered its internal systems while leaving parts of its original programming intact. The probe arrived near the Emerald Spire, pulled in by the planar energy. From its new vantage, it continues its centuries-old mission, peering through invisible and intangible planar rifts at countless weird and unexplored dimensions. Obeying its ancient imperative to nurture and protect sentient life, the probe uses its wondrous powers to provide for the local dungeon denizens, a tribe of very peculiar troglodytes who call their mysterious benefactor skraa-orm thagh in their own tongue, or “the Godbox.

linguistics: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26 v DC 20

Wow. These glyphs predate Ancient Orisani

k dungeoneering: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24 v DC 16

And those bizarre two-tailed, lion-sized quadrupeds with tentacled manes encircling their necks are akatas

For some reason this prompts her to sing Hakuna Akata. What a terrible sound. Hakuna Akata. A bad fate we've found. It means great worries ...

... and that was when the creatures attacked.

Chronicle Updated

Vega just needs levelling up but I'll dot her in now.

I've got at least five Seeker PCs I'd like to play so I'd be up for anything - even a replay of Eyes of the Ten.

Aquana would go for Passing the Torch for example.

Never played Waking Rune either so sure.

Part Three should start after PaizoCon Online.

Shortly, yes. But it still needs to be reported etc.

Same here. All I could help in that regard is a guided tour of the wet and exotic night life in Absalom Nightkit confesses. One of which is me

Glinda softly sings.
They're being attacked by a Moonshadow. Mooonshadow, Moonshadow

Moonshadow - sorry, couldn't resist

And of course, they do the stupid

I guess I'll set up Eot10#1 after some of my Outpost games finish - at least the ones I am GMing.

pfs lore: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31

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 1: Qimok, Thrym, Jekcedo, Momo, Ears, Borq

Round 2: Jekcedo, Thyrm, Ears, Momo, Borq, Qimok
Vekkhad: 1, Camily:2 Kenaxxa: 1

Round 3: Ears, Jekcedo, Momo
Camily:3,

Round 4:

Round 5:

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.
