Google Slide presentation will be up with sign-in sheet soon.
Edit: Link in my tagline.
Thoriel Liltamael |
I'm here too. Thoriel has played all of her games over on RPGGeek so I too will need to update her Paizo profile and statblock before we kick off.
Sahess |
My statblock on here is woefully outdated... I will fill it in soon.
Grandmaster TOZ |
I appreciate you all joining me on a lovely trip to scenic Ustalav, and helping me to work towards checking another season off my GM list. :)
Grandmaster TOZ |
I believe we cannot start until Outpost officially begins in March. I may be able to post some non-scenario lead up before that however. I have raised the question in the Outpost thread.
Edit: Confirmed. I will set up the gameplay thread soon, and once you have completed any prescenario purchases, I will post a lead-in before the briefing starts.
Grandmaster TOZ |
Gameplay thread is posted, you are welcome to introduce yourselves there!
Grandmaster TOZ |
Please also remember to fill out the sign in sheet on the Google Slide as well as enter your initiative in the dice macro.
Thoriel Liltamael |
Just checking, are we kicking off the scenario early, or are we waiting for the start of the GameDay on 5 March?
Sorry, I took Thoriel out of the immediate scene thinking it was a sort of prelude and that we would reconvene in a couple of weeks real time and game time ie. that the rendezvous at the theatre was a date in the near future.
Happy to bring her back into the scene if we are actually progressing to the main briefing now, though.
Grandmaster TOZ |
The actual scenario will not start until the 5th. Everything up until then will be scene setting.

Hmm. I guess I better mention two trips I have pending. I do not travel all that much but March 8-17 I'll be on a ski trip to Banff. I'll have my phone and can post some but will not have a laptop. My company does not want me to carry it outside the US. They are funny about that, and since it belongs to them I guess I have to listen.
And then March 28 I leave for two weeks in China. Same no laptop but will have internet and a phone. Might have a tablet too for this trip. I should be able to keep up but my posts might be shorter and I'll likely miss some days on travel days. Of course botting is fine and I'll try to add some botting instructions to my profile.
Grandmaster TOZ |
First off, I owe you all an apology. I switched schedules from nights to days over the weekend and it ruined my evenings for getting anything done.
Still, that doesn't excuse a week absence, even if we are not officially started. I will be devoting my evening to getting my PbPs updated and rolling again and intend to make sure this is the last unexplained silence and that any future breaks are much shorter.
Thank you for your patience and I'm looking forward to getting into the meat next week.
Sahess |
Wasn't worried because again, doesn't start for 4 more days. If there was problem I'd bug you, we talk often. I just thought I'd re-initiate gabbing in the IC thread in the lead-up to the 5th.
Grandmaster TOZ |
Oh gods, we do? WHO ARE YOU? WHERE AM I?
(Seriously, how do the other VCs keep up with all these PEOPLE? :)
Grandmaster TOZ |
I mean, sometimes. Other times I'm running in panicked circles.
Grandmaster TOZ |
Yeah, we may be fudging distances and time a little bit, since the scenario actually begins when you hit the opera. >_>
Thoriel Liltamael |
No, just playing along with the fact that she sort of wandered off on her own in the intro. Sorry, thought this was all fun pre-scenario stuff to keep us entertained while we waited for the GameDay to start.
If it going to cost her real money then no I guess I'll just retcon it in so she went along with the group, or could she have been teleported over by one of the VCs earlier? Pathfinders seem to pop up all over the world where they are needed.
Not trying to be difficult just playing along in character as Thoriel is a bit self-focussed. Happy to go with what you suggest and sorry if it has caused any problems.
Grandmaster TOZ |
We can certainly say that Leena fetched Thoriel when the time was right. There is no need to spend anything, given the scenario has not properly started. :)

I am leaving for a 10 day trip tomorrow. My posting will be limited to shorter posts from an iPad and likely only in the evenings. Please bot me if I get behind. I travel home on the 17th and should be back to normal on the 18th.
Grandmaster TOZ |
Likewise, I am headed to Disney tomorrow night, but will be posting before bed each night.

Google Slide is updated with the Countess' portrait.
Chusynd Karkota |
I thought i had already posted this, but it's not here and so another meal for the Paizo postmonster, I suppose.
I'm at a convention Thursday - Sunday. I will try to post, but don't know how much I will be able to.
Grandmaster TOZ |
Map is updated, I am back from Disney, and should be good to go for the foreseeable future.

@Grandmaster TOZ
So, I was going through my character sheet, including chronicles and my inventory and I saw that I had upgraded my armor with the spell-storing property but I didn't have that on my character sheet here. I made the change but I thought I would let you know. Would it be alright for me to have a touch spell stored on it already? I was thinking excruciating deformation since its on my list.
Grandmaster TOZ |
I think technically you would have to cast it at the start of the scenario since spells don't transfer between scenarios, and while we started in the lodge, the scenario starts with meeting Basia in the theater. I am a little unclear about the guidelines for this in the guide, however.
Tak and Nail |
I hope it's not rude to chime in. Best I know there one faq that may apply.
Do items like staves carry charges to the next scenario played?
Yes.
So it may work, it works better of you had an unused charge from a previous senario. Though depending on the gm they may not find this particular FAQ applicable.
Grandmaster TOZ |
It's a lot of rules minutia, but I don't think it's so big a deal. Go ahead and count it as having been cast into the armor, and we'll see if it even matters by the end of the scenario.
Seldiliel Sharondaerl |
Yeah, I don't really enjoy wading too deeply into rule minutia myself. And I'm not really worried about the spell slot. I mostly wanted to let you know because it was an update that wasn't on my character when I first posted.
Grandmaster TOZ |
"This spell does not let you determine the location of the thinking minds if you can’t see the creatures whose thoughts you are detecting."
Seldiliel knows that it is somewhere to the right side of the building, but can't tell if it is hidden by walls or illusion magic or just simple stealth.

Another trip...
I leave for New York City around noon tomorrow and from there will leave for 11 days in China on Wednesday. I will be back late on Saturday April 7 and begin to catch up on April 8th. And yes I know I just got back from a trip.
I will have an iPad with me (better than posting from a phone) and should have internet most of the time but there are three days that are remote so I am almost sure I will not have internet all the time. I will do my best to post some but please both me instead of waiting for me. This is my last trip longer than a long weekend I have planned for the entire year.
Grandmaster TOZ |
I will be on night shifts the rest of the week, so my responses may be a bit limited. In the meanwhile, please feel free to discuss what questions you want to ask with Tak's spell. I will give the responses once you have agreed on a final list.
