[PFS CORE] GM Chadius's The Dalsine Affair 2-21 Discussion

[GM chadius]

Hello everyone and welcome to the CORE run of 2-21: The Dalsine Affair.

This game is available for tier 1-7 PCs, with subtiers in the 1-2,3-4 and 6-7 range. It looks like we'll be doing the 1-2 subtier, based on who has signed up, but feel free to discuss it out here. Remember you can always bring a pregen character and apply the credit to your PC.

Note that the final battle may be rough. Maybe. I've had ones where it ended with a single spell, and others where a lucky crit prevented a party wipe.

Use this thread to discuss who you'll bring along. Please update your profile so it has a quick stat block. You can look at GM Chadius's profile for an example. This makes it easy to refer to your most important stats.

[Simon~]

I was planning on being this guy. Stat block is updated, but waiting on a chronicle sheet to be corrected and then scan in all my chronicles tomorrow. As far as ready to play, he is all updated and ready, just won't have the last chronicle and final inventory tracking sheet up until tomorrow. The things I purchased for him are already incorporated into his stat block.

[Saldoc Tisbane]

I need to set up his profile and such but we'll go with this guy.

[Will Hawk]

William Hawk, reporting for mayhem.

[GM chadius]

Good to see you again Will Hawk.

[Auriferous]

I was thinking of bringing Auri, but could vary if everyone else wants low tier.

Auri is not big on subtle, but is more than happy to talk with folk rather than hit them with a sword. Just don't try and hide her (or her sword).

[Ledt]

Thanks for letting me in!

I would like to play with Ledt, a halfling sorcerer 4.

I will have a check on him because I have not played it lately, but I think he is basically ready.

[GM chadius]

Character Levels: 3 + 1 + 3 + 5 + 4 + 4 = 20 Divided by 6 = 3.333333...

Right now it sounds like we will run this in the 3-4 tier. Aui and Saldoc would be out of tier.

[Saldoc Tisbane]

No worries. Its the first rodeo for this PC so if he dies, he dies. I'll just use a made-up name for the chronicle and try again!

[Auriferous]

Auri will be out of tier no matter what with this scenario. My other option is Prisim, a second level sorcerer. Given we have Ledt that isn't fantastic in terms of character versatility. And would still have us in tier 3-4 but a little light on muscle.

[Simon~]

Honestly, I think the current party sounds just fine as is. I could switch to my Ranger 3 if we were light on muscle but I think the party mix is good the way it is.

Fun note: One of the highest charisma parties I've seen. :)

[Vash Steel]

Vash reporting for duty.

[Radagast the Brown]

Right. Since it looks like we are going for Tier 3-4, I guess that I shall bring Radagast to the party ;-)

[Vash Steel]

I only have a level one player. But no worries. Vash will fight hard.

[GM chadius]

Hmm. It looks like we have 7 PCs. I believe that's alright under PFS, but it may get a bit crowded. Check your character in on the gameplay tab when ready.

[GM chadius]

I'm planning to start in 1-2 days. Please check in on the gameplay tab.

[Vash Steel]

Sounds good to me. Just want to let you know that I work 14 hrs on Tue, Fri and Sat. On those days I will post very early or very late but I will post.

[GM chadius]

So level 1, 1, 3, 3, and 4 have checked into the Gameplay tab.

1 + 1 + 3 + 3 + 4 = 12 putting APL at 2.1. That says I run the subtier 1-2 version.

[Radagast the Brown]

It's actually 2.4, but that doesn't change the tier calculation ;-)

In that case, I will change my character, and bring something appropriate for Tier 1-2.

[Simon~]

If ya'll don't mind, I'd like to stick to who I'm playing. I want to get him higher. :)

[Auriferous]

When it comes to day jobs, you all get a +3 circumstantial bonus from Auri. Hurrah! She knows who you need to know to get a good sale.

BTW for level calculation purposes, Auri is 5th not 4th. That may bump up the tier, sorry about the delay in posting, this wasn't showing up in my list of forums for some reason.

[Gratius Laelius]

Join you with this guy :)

[Radagast the Brown]

Okay, so that puts us at 1+1+3+3+4+5=17/6 = 2.833, which rounds to 3 (making us Tier 3-4)?

[Gratius Laelius]

Gratius is level 2, need to upgrade his sheet

[Will Hawk]

Will spins around three times, trying to keep track of who is on this adventure and who is not...

[GM chadius]

Uhoh.

So, I needed people to post into the gameplay tab so I knew who was playing what. But now 8 PCs have signed in and I can only run with 7 PCs.

The correct solution is to split this into two groups:

subtier 3-4
Auriferous
Will Hawk
Simon~
Ledt
Radagast the Brown

subtier 1-2
Gratius Laelius
Saldoc Tisbane
Vash Steel
One of my alternates
I'll make a new thread in a bit to resolve this.

[Saldoc Tisbane]

I thought Radagast was being replaced by another PC?

[GM chadius]

If Redagast is changing to the lower subtier then we'll have enough to run both tables right now. But for now,

Gratius Laelius

Saldoc Tisbane

Vash Steel

Please report to the subtier 1-2 version, here.

Sorry for the confusion, everyone.

[Gratius Laelius]

@GM could you suppress my character from the game ?
Thanks ! I will check on the tier 1-2 game :)

[Simon~]

Going to a local Con Friday-Sunday (March 18 - March 20). Will be more scarce.

Grappled creatures cannot make AoO, and anyway he cannot 5-foot step and will suffer moving around, so hopefully he will probably not have much more AoOs even if he gets the save done ^_^

[GM chadius]

3-4 Tier: We are at the final battle. I'll start working on Chronicles after this fight using the information you gave me. If you want to apply chronicles to a different character, please post it in this thread.

Will Hawk - I don't think that counts towards your faction goals, unfortunately.
Simon~ - Counts towards faction goals

NB Auri can help everyone else with their day jobs, so they get +3 - from her being chair of the board.

Many thanks for the game.

[Simon~]

Ah, that means Simon got 75 gp on his day job instead of 50 gp. :)

[GM chadius]

(Subtier 3-4)

Here are your chronicles.

Please tell me if any corrections are needed so I can update the chronicles and get you guys reported.

[Simon~]

Oh crap, I forgot to ask!

BBEG Fight Spoilers (in case Tier 1-2 is still going):

I can see the scenario myself (having access to it and all...). Do you want to mark what I take from his spellbook? I'll let you know if yes when I have a chance to look at it.

[GM chadius]

Simon:

Oh, do you mean his spellbook? I forgot about that. Here's what's inside:

acid arrow

cat’s grace

frigid touch

invisibility

corrosive touch

magic missile

shield

shocking grasp

alter self

burning hands

chill touch

expeditious retreat

magic missile

minor image

mount

obscuring mist

silent image

reduce person

true strike

and all cantrips

[Simon~]

GM chadius:

Planning on taking:

2nd-Alter Self, Cat's Grace, Frigid Touch
1st-Corrosive Touch, Mount, True Strike

Total Scribing Cost: 150 gp

EDITED: Forgot I already had Expeditious Retreat. If you already edited the chronicle I'll just cross that one mine. :)

Tier 3-4 People:

Remember, you can get Frigid Touch on your spell list since the scroll is on the chronicle according to this blog post. You have to buy the scroll and use it to add it to your spell list, and spontaneous casters still have to use their known spell slots to get it. Since it's on the chronicle sheet, you can do it later if desired.
