50% more damage reaaaally hurts, you'll see :D
GM Hmm |
Gang, I think that everyone may be getting a little lost. This is not just a combat crawl... This is an adventure where you all have to spend some time puzzling things out.
To help you stay on track with what is going on, I've put the two scroll fragments that you've found so far from The Name of the Fox on their own page of the handout.
I'm hoping that this helps.
GM Hmm |
Big Bird is from an entirely different mythology.... We will not be invaded by Cookie Monster, Grover and Kermit.
(Though that would be a hilarious home brew variant of this scenario.)

Hey Gang, your GM has had a couple of rough days (involving two untimely deaths not in my immediate circle, but still darn close).
It's meant that I haven't been at the top of my game, and that there's been some delays. I didn't mean to leave you all hanging... So let's figure out this combat so that we can move on, and you all can start putting together your clues.
Also, group hug time. Because I need a group hug!
DM Beckett |
Multiple big bear hugs. I might even have some digital cookies, left.
Wadi Ahk'kolon |
*Gives a bear hug to Hmm* (Although he is built more like a scarecrow, at least his heart is in the right place :)
Jan Itor |
Jan always up for big hug, is Ulfen way.
Sorry to hear that, if you need some time please feel free to take it.
Wadi Ahk'kolon |
Getting back to the scenario here: I suggest we just leave this worm be and move on to the next area. Perhaps this is one of those encounters designed to waste resources.
Dioneo II Starnon |
*warm Ifrit hug!*
Don't hesitate to take a break, Hmm. We are in no hurry to finish this game!
DM Beckett |
Same here. Id you need a break, we fully understand.
GM Hmm |
Hey Gang --
I think I'm going to take a break for the weekend in this campaign. One of the deaths was a classmate of my daughter, who had suicided. We hadn't interacted much, but I knew him from the library and his parents from various school committees. I've hugged my children so many times in the past few days that they've started beating me off with a stick.
This break will also give you all a chance to reread the posts that I linked to, and discuss in character what you think may be going on, and to decide which direction you want to go next in exploring the basement level.
I'll see you back on Sunday!
Hugs again,
Hmm
Archon the Divine Caller |
No worries. I wish there was something I could do to help, but my prayers will be with you and yours. And I'm sorry for being a pain. :P
GM Hmm |
Are you yoinking the Blakros history or the bookmark?
GM Hmm |
Hey, I had fun adding that title to the collection of the Overflow Archives... It's adding little details like that make GMing fun for me.
Archon the Divine Caller |
Take this as undeniable proof that your efforts are well received.
I want that book. It's now mine. And I'll fight you for it.
I love Nigel. Well, not the Silver Mount Nigel, but every other Nigel that didn't b!~$+out to Zarta and her little wannabe Shadow Lodge. Silver Mount, to me, is stricken from Canon, anyway. Didn't happen.
:P
GM Hmm |
This is an okay breaking point, and I have a crazy busy weekend ahead. Let's break until Sunday or Monday before we go for the next room.
Dioneo II Starnon |
okay for me, week end will really crazy for me too. I'll be back on sunday evening :)
Archon the Divine Caller |
Hey everyone. I just wanted to say a few things. I wasn't tracking that the book was a Faction Mission, and out of character, I have no intention of ruining it for you. All of my distrust for Zarta is just RP, and part of it is because I half suspect she was "the Fox". Honestly, I thought the book and also the bookmark where just really cool fluff, and something I wanted to explore.
I was angry for a bit, not at anyone, but rather over the whole ordeal, from what seemed to be tailor made to introduce party conflict, at what seemed like it could easily be very conflicting Faction Missions, and also because starting at season 5 (for those who have played for a while), they started to introduce a concept of being rewarded for "being good pathfinders", that is, going above and beyond, such as finding a special treasure we where not told to look for.
I was angry for a little bit, but again, not at anyone, just the circumstances, but I took a little break, talked to others outside the game, and let it go, because it's more important to me that the game goes off and people have fun.
So, I just want to say that in the future, if there is ever an issue like that, my character's hatred of Zarta, or I might be ruining a Faction goal, just let me know. Again, I have no ill feelings against anyone, and no intention of screwing anyone over.
Jan Itor |
Thanks for the message Archon. No big deal, IMO. I honestly had forgotten the ability to do the mission without secrecy. I would have been disappointed to miss the faction part, but okay with it due to the RP that was happening. Stuff happens, but it becomes the memorable stuff about the game in my estimation.
GM Hmm |
* Hug for Archon *
Oloch Firebrand |
In my head that's just how the game goes - it wouldn't make sense to change your character's actions for something you may suspect about in an OOC way ;)
No drama - Oloch doesn't like it, and me neither. All good.
Wadi Ahk'kolon |
Archon: Wadi is still carrying the Magic Circle against Chaos scroll he found earlier which would come in REAL handy about now...
Wadi Ahk'kolon |
Archon: Wadi has a scroll case in his backpack. You should be able to grab it from there.

Dioneo blows on his hands, ignoring the man.
"Wow, I think I found a new hobby! Exploding feys like pinatas!"
Well, the Pathfinder Society is all about expanding your horizons! You made me laugh out loud! Thank you!
Dioneo II Starnon |
Well, the Pathfinder Society is all about expanding your horizons! You made me laugh out loud! Thank you!
Glad I did :) I just imagined Dioneo looking at his hands with an mixed expression between boredom and disgust.

"Well, well. Now we have a kitsune on the loose. But still, we have something he's interested in: the fragments of the scroll. Now all we have left to do is to find the remaining fragments in the archives, if there are any, and steal or take on his cadaver or ask him to give us the other fragments to that kitsune."
Looks like Oloch is helping someone see things Gorum's way.
Dioneo II Starnon |
Looks like Oloch is helping someone see things Gorum's way.
I'd say Ymeri's way are not so different from Gorum's, just that the means to achieve the goals include more barbecues. :D
GM Hmm |
What? You guys are planning to bypass my sharks with chainsaws trap? Noooooooo.....
So, if you use the scroll, who's going to d-door? And are you making any more preparations before going in?
Hmm |
Hey Gang,
With one room left, it's probably no surprise that we're in the homestretch for this mission. Since I want to get a head start on putting together chronicle sheets, I wanted to ask you if all of this information is correct? And are all of you on normal progression?

Actually, Dioneo is lvl 4, but everything else is correct :)
GM Hmm |
I don't feel comfortable botting Archon at this point. Do we want to break until Sunday, giving him time to post in, or should I skip forward to the Fox's next action?
Dioneo II Starnon |
I'd say we're not in a hurry :)
GM Hmm |
Happy Halloween, my darlings!
Is anyone dressing up today?
Archon the Divine Caller |
I'm debating. I'm exhausted, but Halloween is also the only holiday I care about. Part of me just wants a day off, but my daughter has her heart set on being a Zombie Pigman (???).
Jan Itor |
Since we are wrapping up now (and out of combats) is it ok if I update my stats to my lew level (which will actually be 6 not 5 - yay GM credits). I'll keep a copy of these stats if I need to do anything. Sorry, just getting ready for Siege of Serpents.
Dioneo II Starnon |
Happy Halloween, my darlings!
Is anyone dressing up today?
Well I did had a blast as we were having a week-end with teenagers that finish their catechism (I work as a pastor). And Saturday was obviously the day we talked about death. I was dressed with my black pastor's robe (it looks pretty identical to a lawyer's) with the mask of "V" (anonymous), which to my astonishment, nearly no teen knew what it was. We also had a "macabre supper", pretty amusing!
