Day Job/Faction Card Roll: Profession (Sailor), Ship+ 4 + 2
The ship is a vanity he purchased. See his profile for a description of the game benefits.
I haven't played in a PFS game for a few years. I don't remember the Faction Card Roll. Can you direct me to an explanation?
I keep a list of all Benson's skill rolls on his profile, so you can check these as needed.
I've downloaded the most recent document with faction cards (Season 10). The PDF is a little confusing, as some factions have duplication of the faction goals. Most factions, including Benson's faction have a faction goals box followed by two more boxes and one faction has nothing but the faction goals.
Regarding the two sets of check boxes, are these both available or is one of the two for 2nd edition games? I have two faction cards from earlier seasons (not sure exactly which seasons, as the cards don't list that) but they were from 2017 and earlier.
These old faction cards just have one set of boxes to check to earn rewards.

So, faction cards were a lovely addition to each season to give you other goals including ones that would take your downtime roll. Succeeding at them would give bonuses. You can continue going after old seasons cards if you checked off one box while it was current. Season 10 is available to start for any players.
I have downloaded them again to make sure I am looking at them properly. I reccomedn looking at the "half-sheet" pdf as it puts both sides the faction sheets on the same page.
You look at your character's faction and can complete one of the goals on the sheet per scenario (unless stated otherwise). When you do, you check a box next to the goal and checking them all of means the goal is completed (If it has 2 check boxes you need both checked to count it towards rewards). The title sheet lists the rewards you get for certain amounts of goals completed.
You only work on your own faction's goals so duplication between them will not be a large concern.

I fixed a few errors on Benson's profile. A few things to note:
I wanted to name the character Benson Steel, but for some reason when I created the character, that name was not available. I determined that the Chinese word for steel was similar to Gangtee, so I made that his last name and linked it to his Tien mother. But in gameplay, he will identify himself as Benson Steel.
If you use the Paizo PBP Chrome extensions that allow you to substitute a different image when viewing characters in threads, you can find the image to use for Benson at the bottom of his background information on his profile. I couldn't find anything in the Paizo image collection that really matched my mental image of the character, although the one I did choose is a suitable stand-in.
If anyone else uses a different image for their PC, please make it available and I'll use it when I view posts in Chrome.

Figured I'll post my basic combat tricks here so they're nice and out there.
Strategy-wise, Uaine will support. When the going's good and buffs have been doled out or aren't needed, she'll be helping to punch people, which also tosses in some debuffs. Otherwise, healing aplenty.

If anyone else has standard procedures they want to add, to expedite exploration just let me know. I always try to strike a balance between the character getting to make their rolls and using certain ones myself , like rolling lots of perception per room.
PbP changes some things in how it works best for each individual.

Hey, gimme another day. Sorry, work has been absolutely insane. Been working with local law enforcment and doing new intakes all week. Has eaten up a lot of my bandwidth then I can get us back on track for the rest of the scenario, also this one has tossed a lot of new types of encounters my way as a GM. So used to GMing baby tier. I really am so sorry about the pacing being so slow.

Not a problem.
I was having trouble interpreting the map but it looks like we initially came down the northernmost set of stairs down to get the the first level, near the south side of the map, fought the undead wolf, then discovered a secret door at the south side right by the way we entered, which took us down another level. This is where we found the trapped bridge that led north to what looks like a library.
Benson was at the north side of the rope bridge waiting for the other turns to play out. Now all the characters are in the room beyond the bridge. Did we all make it into the room? I don't see any posts indicating that.
|
|
So the group comes down the stairs from the south, it was the group crossing the bridge when some invisible force started chunking rocks. Gru'gar got the door to the next room open while Benson took apart the bridge collapsing trap.
Will have to work out people being in the room now, as the last turn the only one who went into the next room was Gru'far to check the next door.
|
|
For the sake of moving us forward and the fact that Hustavan isn't explicitly helpful or aware of the situation, he still knows people try to get through the room as quick as possible.
Unless the group really want to be ghost busters, it would be safe to keep moving once Gru'gar gets that trap dealt with. Dealing with someone that has natural invisibility at this level is certainly a challenge.

I am going to work on the chronicles tomorrow. The 3rd party template on these cultist and the wight really do a number on them, they go squished.
Sorry again for the pacing of this. Life has been throwing me curveballs left and right. It really ended up in me giving a sub-par experience which I regret. I still enjoyed the characters and this earlier Scenario stood no chance against the group.
Link for chronicles soon!

Sorry for my AFK. I have been stuck in high stress situations in the office since December started with the increased work load coming up to New Years. It will probably continue through until January.
