Dungeon Master S's "Deepmarket Deception" [CORE]

[Dungeon Master S]

Welcome to my Play-by-Post!
Here's the ctrl+P for all my games:

1. I've been running games since the late 1980s, I've seen a lot of editions. I started playing PFS with Slot 1 Season 0 at Gen Con. I'm solid with the PFRPG rules, but everyone makes mistakes. I'll try to be as fair as possible.
2. I'm a Venture-Lieutenant for Southern NH. If you're ever in the area, or you need help finding games/conventions there. PM me.
3. I post with a high rate of frequency. That being said, if you guys can post 2-3 times per day, awesome. If it's only 1/day I understand. No worries. Real Life Comes First (tm).
4. Let's get started:

Player Name:
PC Name:
PFS#:
Faction:
Day Job: Feel free to roll now.
Perception and vision/senses:
Initiative:
Notes: Anything I should know; passive abilities, boons that are way out there, etc.

[Simon~]

Player Name: Andrew
PC Name: Simon
PFS#: 43439-51
Faction: Sovereign Court
Day Job: Craft (Clothing): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29
Perception and vision/senses: Perception +1, Low-Light
Initiative: +7
Notes: Wizard with high diplomacy and decent bluff. Simon has the fashionable trait and wears pretty fancy clothing (He's a tailor), so he has a noble's outfit and wears lots of jewelry.

The subtier says 1-2 in the Flaxseed lodge thread. That's not possible for this scenario being 3-7. Were we switching scenarios?

I am a frequent viewer but I don't post frequently unless others do. I view my PbP threads like 3-5 times a day, although less on weekends (due to me playing or GMing in games on weekends), but like to let others have a chance to post as I'm the type of person who would post a lot if I felt it wasn't rude. (So if I haven't posted anything when we're not in combat, I'm more than likely just refraining myself or don't think my character has anything to add that others haven't said, so feel free to progress story if I don't post). Having said that, this is my first time playing a face character online so that may change a few things for me if it's role-play heavy.

[Dungeon Master S]

MY bad! I mean 3-4

[Will Hawk]

Player Name: PJP
PC Name: Will Hawk
PFS#: 150786-12
Faction: Liberty's Edge
Day Job: Freedom means not working for the man, right?
Perception and vision/senses: +7, +9 vs humans
Initiative: +2
Notes: Hawk is a gentlemanly pirate - more or less. Primarily a fancy swordsman, preferring disarm techniques over bloodshed. He also has a pet hawk (which will eventually become his ranger animal companion, but for now is just for flavor - it has no mechanical benefits).

[Lōd Flaxseed]

Endless Forms here! Sorry, I didn't realize this was levels 3-7. I have this level 3 core character but he is currently in another game that probably won't be finished for a few weeks so I think I'll have to bow out.

[Chris Marsh]

Sorry to see you go. There's always a pregen, but no worries.

[Lōd Flaxseed]

No, I get to play so rarely as it is that when I do play I'd rather use my own character than a pregen. I was excited to see you running a game though (especially core, I love core and don't get to play or run it enough) and I know I'm assured a good game when you're at the helm but I'll just have to keep a watch out for the next one I guess. Thanks anyways!

[Dungeon Master S]

Why thank you sir! I appreciate the kind words. Keep your eye out. (I'm also 100% in agreement. I like using my own characters.)

[Sidroki]

So I am relatively new player to PF. Can a Level 1 do this tier or should I get a pregen?

[Chris Marsh]

You can't use a level 1 to PLAY, but if you want I can give you a chronicle at the end reduced so that you can apply it.

[Caerwynn]

S, I'll wait until I've updated this character to make my stats post. She's level 3 though so no worries on that end.

Also, I'm going to be closer to 1/day during the week. Weekends I can usually post more frequently.

[Sidroki]

Like I said, I am still pretty new so I think I'll drop out of this one. I want to get my feet wet in the society first before messing with reduced chronicles and such. Happy travelling!

[Chris Marsh]

No problem. You can also just hold onto the chronicle until you're level 3.

That being said I also support you wanting to easy into it. Keep your eyes peeled for games!

[Caerwynn]

PC Name: Caerwynn
PFS#: 21019-9
Faction: GL
Day Job: none
Perception and vision/senses: Perception +10
Initiative: +2
Notes: the usual druid things (woodland stride, trackless step, etc.). Caerwynn has the Explorer faction reward and can (once per adventure) gain a +2 circumstance bonus on an Acrobatics, Climb, Survival, or Swim check. She does not have an animal companion so I don't need to go over tricks. :P

[Nerisiel]

Is recruitment still open or is it just the four of us. I was not able to get Nerisiel to level 3 so it looks like it will be a pregen for me.

Lem the bard?

[Dungeon Master S]

I posted the advert on the Flaxseed for the last two slots. We'll see if anyone bites before we get started tomorrow night.

[Dungeon Master S]

I'm ready to get up and running. Looks like it's 4 people. Total fine, and I think this will be a solid table. I just want to confirm the party and subtier. I got your PM Nerisiel, please feel free to use the pregen, I don't suspect others will join at this point.

Caerwynn: Druid 3
Will Hawk: Ranger 2/Rogue 1
Simon: Enchanter 3
Nerisiel: Unknown Pregen

That's Subtier 3-4 with the 4 player adjustment. Good to go?

[Ragnar Foehammer]

Player Name: James Martin
PC Name: Ragnar Foehammer
PFS#: 1904-13
Faction: Dark Archive
Day Job: None
Perception and vision/senses: +1; darkvision 60'
Initiative: +0
Notes: I command dead people. But I'm really quite cuddly!

[Nerisiel]

Player Name: Jeff Cook
PC Name: Nerisiel
PFS#: 9251-24
Faction: The Exchange
Day Job: None
Perception and vision/senses: +2; normal
Initiative: +2

Playing Lem the halfling bard (nerisials stats will reflect that

Ready and willing. :)

[Will Hawk]

Aye Cap'n. Good to go!

[Ragnar Foehammer]

I believe I am good to go as well!

[Caerwynn]

I think we have a problem where we're all battlefield control types (even Will to an extent). No damage dealers. :/

[Nerisiel]

Which is not a problem when we keep the battlefield in lock down or talk our way past the combats which this group is very good at. Unfortunately now nearly out of spells and inspire courage has limited utility in this group making Lem part of the front line with limited damage but at least giving Will a flank buddy.

[Simon~]

I will be scarce this coming weekend. I will be visiting my dad and we will be going to a con together. Just a head-up.

[Chris Marsh]

I'm at a con all weekend long.

Honestly, you MIGHT finish with good choices and Desna smiling.

Hail! I'll be mostly incommunicado from Thursday night until Sunday night. I'll be at Total Con running an unreasonable amount of games (I set a goal for myself of earning my 5th star there, and it means running 4 specials in one weekend, two of them multitable.) Bot me as needed.

[Will Hawk]

Good luck!

[Dungeon Master S]

Thanks!

[Simon~]

Good luck! I definitely know that feeling, and probably won't kill myself at Cons anymore because of it. :p

[Nerisiel]

As nerisial has hit level 2 before this game she will take a level 4 chronicle and hope not to die before she gets there (rather than take the 500 and apply to level 1 option)

[Simon~]

Thanks for the game...was a blast!

[Caerwynn]

S -- I'd like to check off one of these two Faction Journal items:

A) Disrupt or sabotage a significant Aspis Consortium operation, such as by ruining an alliance, damaging its reputation in a large city, or preventing them from recovering an artifact.

B) Defeat one or more members of the Aspis Consortium in an encounter whose Challenge Rating is at least equal to your character level (3rd).

Please let me know if I qualify for one or both. I'll also be checking off a box for "Adventure in a nation other than Absalom."
