Welcome everybody! Thank you for joining my table. This game starts on or about Monday, September 6th. When recruitment opens, I will post more instructions.
Just a note, this is my first time running a table in PbP, though I have played plenty of PbP and run plenty of tables in person and on VTT. Please be patient with my expected screw-ups adapting to running in a new format.

Day Job: Dwarven Lore: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

I've sent PMs to the two other players who signed up for this table. If they are both still interested, will see if everyone wants to play with three or what we want to do to get a fourth.

Player name: Vic
Character name: Fortiva
PFS #: 2361-2002
Faction: Horizon Hunters
Perception: +14
Initiative: +17 (stealth)
Day Job: Underworld Lore +10
Special Note of characters: Foil Senses to avoid scent and similar abilities
I don't mind a table of three, as I have literally nothing I can play with this character otherwise at the game day (I've done the Bastion set and the Special at this tier), though two rogues and a druid will either crush all of the perception checks or fail all of the arcana and occultism stuff. :)
We can also try to reach a couple more players via the discord channels dedicated to the game day.

A red-headed man of average height, clad in long flowing robes, comes running to the group. "Am I..." He begins before stopping to catch his breath. "...am I too late?"
In case you're still looking for a No.4, I'd like to join you guys.

Shahbaz - haven't seen you in five minutes!
Admittedly, that was as Seggiatore more than Fortiva, but there's at least some history there.

![]() |

We've got 14 challenge points, which will put us into the lower tier.
Shahbaz - 6, Fortiva - 4, Zanu/Jorgen - 2 each
We're starting tomorrow, so I assume we are running with four.
Please fill out the first slide with character icons and Initiative/Perception modifiers.

![]() |

Everything is filled out.
Did you want us to give out hero points here for those of us who have glyphs or did you want to wait?

![]() |

Filled it out as well and thanks for having me!
I don't have any hero points to share unfortunately.
I definitely do remember Fortiva as well, but I don't know if Shahbaz was involved :) Anyways, good to see you.

![]() |

We do have Hero points to give out - sorry, been a minute since I've run PFS in PF2 - I've been running my local group through Age of Ashes for a while.
Does my glyph count as well? I've only the 1.

![]() |

Well, sounds like we have at least 4, however no-one can get more than 1 from glyphs, so everyone should start with 2 Hero Points.
on a side note - does anyone here know how to make nested spoilers on these boards? It doesn't seem to be recognizing mine properly, instead showing as spoiler start, inside: markup text and text that should be inside the first sub-spoiler. Then the other nested spoilers at the top level and a random markup close as free text at the end.

Just to let you know I have GM'd this before so I naturally will be taking a more backseat approach with the interactions to not metagame it.

"but it's not enough to stop her"
Stop her from what, I'm wondering.
Does she continue to tail us while in front of me?
Sense Motive check, maybe?

"Fortiva snags the missive out of the dwarf's belt as she flees and even manages to snag a small pouch with some gold and gems for her trouble."
I seriously LOLed.
That bit is a definitely an odd one (how did she know who carried the missive, among other things), and I could see groups getting upset if they fail their initial checks and get hosed.

She followed you from the grand lodge. Beyond that, she has plot-based x-ray vision that also sees into extra-dimensional spaces.
anyway, this one is a pain - the way it's written in the scenario is that you only get the loot if you grab or hit her. I have strong moral objections to penalizing PCs by removing treasure bundles for using subterfuge instead of force, especially since they've spent several years now encouraging such. If you beat the encounter, you get the loots associated with it as long as you bother to look for them.

Heads up here - I'm flying out early tomorrow morning for GenCon, and will be away until Monday. I will try to post from my phone, but no guarantees.

![]() |

Gotcha. Have fun.
I'll be playing some pathfinder thru Gen Con Online. Starting a new peep for a couple bounties.
It's interesting that all of their attacks are nonlethal.
Not sure it's prudent to respond in kind, but I'll at least try it for now. :)

Shahbaz how do you do the bullet points when posting?

![]() |

I've not heard back from Shahbaz. Not sure if they are just not on the forums or what.

![]() |

I was waiting for Zanu here - Jorgen, Fortiva can you let me know how you want to proceed? We still have a good bit of the adventure to go.

![]() |

Not sure what happened to Shahbaz. I sent a message via discord, in case that helps.
I'm guessing Zanu just had a long weekend, but we'll see.

Karankwan |

Holy sh*t you folks!
I don't have a better excuse other than I lost track of that game during all the gameday X action that was going on on Discord. Iceman/Fortiva reached out to me on Discord yesterday.
From quickly glancing over here, it doesn't look like you ditched Shahbaz, which is highly appreciated. Thank you and massive apologies, I simply lost track :(

I'm off to Game Hole Con in a couple hours. Should be able to update each night, but no promises. :)
First in-person con in almost two years. Whee!

![]() |

apologies for the posting delay - it's been a very hectic couple of days - I will put something up tonight.

![]() |

I'll get chronicles out tonight once I get home from work or tomorrow morning.

![]() |

Chronicles are here.
Fortiva, I don't have a day job from you. Please let me know what you want to do for downtime and I'll update the sheet.
I'll be closing down this campaign in a few days.

![]() |

Guess I never did roll... nothing to retrain, so do that now:
Underworld Lore: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12
Yeah, that's like 16 silver. Woo.

![]() |

Everything looks good. And it occurs to me I can just track the downtime separately.
Thanks, all! Catch you next time.
