GM Valen's 2nd ed Pathfinder Society Quest #10: The Broken Scales (Low Subtier)(Table 2)

[GM Valen]

A place for out-of-character discussions.

[“Chance” Sarava]

Just to let you know I dotted in the gameplay thread.

[Kaitlyn Deathsbane]

Character name: Kaitlyn Deathsbane
PFS#-Character#: 2396852-2015
Character Class & Level: Monk 1

I don't think you get a free item for Quests/Bounties, only for full adventures.

Character name: Thrass
PFS#-Character#: 127656-2003
Character Class & Level: Monk 2
Faction: Radiant Oath
Day Job Roll: Pathfinder Society Lore +3

Also, I'll buy some Healer's Tools. Forgot to buy them up to this point. They're 5 GP.

Unless I'm mistaken, only Bounties don't get a free item.

[“Chance” Sarava]

Found a better avatar for the character :-)

And to copy the information from the previous thread:

Character name “Chance” Sarava
PFS#-Character# 94504-205
Character Class & Level Swashbuckler 2
Faction Envoy’s Alliance
Day Job Roll Gambling Lore +?
PFS Item From generalist, minor healing ootion

[“Chance” Sarava]

Did two mistakes in the character number:

PFS#-Character# 93504-2004

And gambling lore is at +5

[Kaitlyn Deathsbane]

Sorry Chance... can't resist -- My, what big ears you have! :)

@MrTea, nice to adventure with you again. I'm sure that Kat and Cate will hit it off well like Eldon and Loka...

Ah, then I've been misinformed. Thanks for the correction. I'll have a minor healing potion as well.

[Graham Silverlock]

I will RP as if Graham isn't a pathfinder yet, just a priivate investigator. He'll join the pathfinder after this quest.

If you wish, I am fine with that.

On another note, which first level PC gets my Hero Point?
1 Caitlin, 2 Graham, 3 Kaitlyn: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Congrat, Kaitlyn! Slide is now updated!

[Caitlin Berrigan]

Day job will actually be Scouting Lore +5

[Thrass]

I didn't know GMs could give out their glyphs as well, I thought only players could. Cool!

I'm a one-glyph GM as well, so I'll roll randomly between Caitlin and Graham as well.

1 Caitlin, 2 Graham: 1d2 ⇒ 2
Graham gets a second Hero Point!

Also filled in the slide info. I don't mind being up front and taking hits since I'm level 2, but if others really want to be in front, feel free to move me back.

Alas, GMs cannot. I misunderstood a change in the guide and have now been edified.

Unfortunately, this means Kaitlyn is currently beginning with only 1 Hero Point. Slide is now updated.

[Kaitlyn Deathsbane]

how does that work? I've been given hero points that way in other games...

[Kaitlyn Deathsbane]

so if you're an x-glyph GM and playing in a scenario you can give out x hero points (where x is the number of glyphs you have?)

[Graham Silverlock]

is the sewer dark? need dark vision?

I just filled it too. I had trouble as I only have my phone and tablet while I am on a trip. I realized yesterday that the slide app on my tablet is not working anymore, the application is not compatible with the device OS anymore…

I put Sarava in front, if someone wants to take his place, go ahead. He’ll prefer being in front.

[Kaitlyn Deathsbane]

I just experienced how painful it is on a mobile/tablet. My Internet at home was down from Saturday to Monday. Had to go to a coffee shop and use my phone (and their WiFi). Invest in a Bluetooth keyboard -- makes it less painful...

Correct. A GM with glyphs may only assign Hero Points when at a table as a player.

[勝20100]

I have a bluetooth keyboard, that’s indeed very useful when playing pbp.

[Mr Tea]

I'm on my mobile until tomorrow afternoon. I've been camping in Snowdonia for a week.

I should get a portable Bluetooth keyboard.

[Kaitlyn Deathsbane]

from the looks of the map, is this one of the older quests where the map didn't extract as a single image (and you'd need to rebuild it like a jigsaw puzzle)?

Yes, indeed it is.

[Kaitlyn Deathsbane]

I was planning to run Flames of Rebellion as part of my GM Round Robin and was a bit horrified to see 6 blocks of art instead of a single map when I extracted the images...

[Kaitlyn Deathsbane]

Chance, does the After You feat give you panache each round? So essentially you don't need to do anything special (like Tumble Through) to gain panache?

[“Chance” Sarava]

It only gives panache once, at the start of combat, at the cost of being last in initiative.
In some cases, like a complex trap, I might not use it, or if something needs to be done quickly.

After using panache, the character will need to do something special to gain it.

[Kaitlyn Deathsbane]

ah. ok. I have a Swashbuckler character and I saw it as a potential Feat to pick up at Lvl 2...

[Kaitlyn Deathsbane]

Yesterday night, while having dinner, took a bite from a batch of choc chip cookies my niece made. Fairly thick cookies so my mouth was full. Remembering something I said softly "Fish?" (yes, sounded like "Fssh") and almost bust out laughing...

[Kaitlyn Deathsbane]

@MrTea, when you get a chance, check out Crossbow Ace as a ranger feat. I'm playing a ranger in another adventure and Crossbow Ace is paying dividends... Granted your rate of fire is 3 every 2 rounds but the damage makes up for the slow rate...

Heheh, glad to have caused a random stranger to laugh. :D

[GM Valen]

I have recently discovered this tool that allows me to prepare chronicles faster. Please fill out the requested information and I will get chronicles out to you all sometime tomorrow.

Thanks for a fun run!

[Caitlin Berrigan]

Done and thanks for letting me join at the last minute! It's been fun.

[Thrass]

Thanks for the enjoyable scenario! I had fun and good banter between us all, I liked it. Bit of a shame two people dropped out, but I think we did all right. Thank you to the GM and to the other players for the interaction and the nice game. :)

[Kaitlyn Deathsbane]

Done. Let me know if RPG Chronicles is good. I'm looking to try it myself as a GM. Those on Discord seem to like it though.

Yep, great game! Let me know if you're recruiting again!

[勝20100]

Also thanks everyone, that was a fun quest.

[GM Valen]

This quest has been reported, so you can expect your ACP to appear shortly.

Also, chronicles have been completed and can be found here!

Please let me know of any changes or corrections. Once I have confirmation of receipt from everyone or after one week (whichever comes sooner), I will mark this campaign inactive.

@Kaitlyn Deathsbane - I have found RPG Chronicles to be very simple to use and much faster than having to do each chronicle individually on Acrobat, which I was doing before (and would inevitably make a mistake after signing them and would have to go back and redo).

Thank you all again for a very fun run! Happy Gaming!

[Thrass]

Dunno how, I could've sworn I entered my GP total as 40.3, but it somehow turned that into 40.29.
Also, minor note: you forgot to note the result on the sheet of whether we saved Pethjun or not. I corrected both things on my chronicle, so no need to edit everything, but thought I'd let you know.

Again, thank you to the GM for this Quest. It was a nice smooth adventure, I liked it. :)

[Kaitlyn Deathsbane]

Same regarding my chronicle (the box on saving Pethjun) -- but that's not an issue. I also changed it on mine...

Too bad 2 people had to drop though. All in all, a fun adventure! Had a great time. Thanks for running it!

Unfortunately, checking the box doesn't seem to be an option on the tool and, if you can easily fix it on your own, I would prefer not to have to take the time of cycling it through another program to complete them.

Thanks again all for weathering the changes mid-run and for providing a fun, memorable table!
