Chronicle Question, do i mark off this reward?

[Chyrone]

So.......the team didn't make it in the fight vs the boss.

They played tier 3-4.

Do they receive access to the tier 1-2 boss' rewards, despite losing to the boss on the current tier 3-4?

Thanks in advance.

[BigNorseWolf]

Nope. No loot for you! Well, 3/4 loot for you and no access to the boss's stuff (not that it matters the vast majority of the time)

[Chyrone]

Ok, that was my suspicion.

Thanks for confirming, BigNorseWolf.

[Paladin of Baha-who?]

You mean it was a TPK?

[Chyrone]

Yes, technically, as this boss torments victims as playthings, and would therefor keep them at verge of collapse.

The boss' minions took them down.

[Paladin of Baha-who?]

If they're likely, based on the description of the NPCs, to have been kept alive rather than killed, they can pay 5PP for a body recovery functioning as a rescue instead of body recovery then raise dead.

The scenario should include the amount each encounter earns the PCs, or, in later seasons, the amount deduced if the PCs fail to defeat it. Add those up for the encounters they did complete (or subtract the ones they did not), and determine whether they qualified for either of the success conditions. In some cases it is possible to fulfill the secondary success conditions without fulfilling the primary success conditions, and they would earn 1PP in that case, I think.

That's how i've been looking at it.
They will pay 5 PP for the rescue squad to come in.
