Welcome to Tian Xia!

Please post your token to the boxes on slides 2 and 3. The slides for this session are also linked at the top of the page and in my GM header.

Please fill in slide 2 with your stats and default exploration activity, and please let us know here if you have any glyphs.

Please get signed in on RPG Chronicles so I can be sure of the CP and sub-tier.

As per the Organized Play Foundation Community Standards, each player must decide if they will allow their characters to be damaged by friendly fire (usually via splash damage). In keeping with the “Explore, Report, Cooperate” motto of the Pathfinder Society, engaging in non-consensual character-versus-character conflict is prohibited. While accidental friendly fire happens due to missed attack rolls or other factors, players must obtain the consent of other players before deliberately including fellow PCs in damaging effects. This rule does not apply in situations where a character is not acting of their own free will, such as if they’re being mind-controlled by an NPC and forced to attack a fellow Pathfinder.

You may select a consumable item from the Pathfinder Provisions list. These used to be the school items you get prior to starting an adventure.

I am currently in the US for the next few months so my posting hours will be standard for those in North America. I usually update at least one or twice per day. Just to keep the game moving, please post at least once every day and at least once during the weekend.

Please keep all posts and communication in all channels limited to a PG-13 level and be both positive and inclusive.

Please label all three of your actions. Even if you think what you are doing is obvious.

If I am unavailable for longer than 24 hours, I will let you know in the Discussion Tab. Out of respect for your fellow players and myself, I ask that you do the same. Real life happens, and real life will always take priority over the game, but out of fairness for your fellow players, please let us know if you will be unavailable for an extended period of time.

Questions, concerns? Feel free to share them in the Discussion tab.

Let's have some fun and tell a great story together! After all, that's what we're here for.

Marigold, how's Eldritch Archer working for you? I was planning to get it for another PC but I wasn't sure if spending 3 actions for an all-or-nothing bow shot was worth it...

4 glyphs, btw... and that initial blurb looks somewhat familiar... ;)

So far so good. The increased range for cantrips helps.

I thought it was cool that the author, Ianara Natividad, named the boat Saranggola. I wondered if it meant something and was pleasantly surprised to see that it translates to "kite" in Tagalog.

So I added the greeting, and for the 5 of you who I presume don't speak Tagalog, ”Magandang umaga" means "Good morning." No, I didn't have to look that one up, I use it quite often in my travels.

Still waiting for Mindartis Nightbreeze, though it is still the weekend.

We're solidly high tier, and no level 5's so no level bumps or mentor boons needed.

And of course, I forgot something. Other than UncleFroggy's 4 glyphs, are there any others?

Not 5. 4. Mindartis is also from my part of the world. :)

oops. I forgot dwarves are traditionally not to friendly to gobbos... and orcs for that matter... :)

No worries. The new age of friendly goblins takes an old dwarf a bit of getting used to. It's fun to RP his difficulties, matching ancient prejudices against his own firmly held beliefs as a redeemer.

GM,
You have 3 (!) characters with attack-interrupting reactions. How, when it comes up, would you like us to handle / post those during Encounter Mode?

Grand Lodge

Skymetal Hoard slides

I mean, you're all experienced PBP players. If you think you are likely to be in a situation that would trigger a reaction that you have, I'd appreciate a spoiler with trigger conditions as specific as you can make them to the tactical layout at the time. Conversely, if you absolutely would not use your reaction for whatever reason, please state so. Or if want to cede the call to me to make on your behalf, that's an option too. Ultimately, the more info I have about what you might or might not do means I can run the combat out with the least number of ret-cons.

male human (dhampir) summoner 6 | ◆◇↺ | Imelia Eisenhardt ♥️ 80/80| AC 24| F +12 R +12 W +10 | Perc +10 | Spd. 25ft. |

Dutiful Retaliation ↺:
Trigger
An enemy within 15 feet of you hits you with a Strike and deals damage to you.
Requirements Your eidolon is within 15 feet of you. Your eidolon instinctively flashes with ectoplasmic energy, allowing them to strike back against an enemy who dares to harm you. Your eidolon makes a melee unarmed Strike against the triggering enemy, even if that enemy isn't within your eidolon's reach.

If my reaction is available and the trigger and requirements are met, I would use it.

Imelia would typically use her sonic attack +15 for 2d6+3 sonic damage plus 1d6 persistent vitality to undead. I'll try to remember to add it to my turns, but it is here just in case.

Vigilant Seal

Default exploration: Defend;Action Symbols: (◆), (◆◆), (◆◆◆), (◇), (↺); sheet

I have a spoiler about my reactions but to put it here:

Reactions: ↺
Will use either Glimpse of redemption or shield block on first party member damaged each round (block on me, glimpse if party member is within 15').

I also have a martyrs shield, which has its own reaction and will shield block automatically once each round if an ally next to me is hit.

Easiest way to work it out is:
1. If any ally next to me is hit, then Myrsa will shield block (hardness 13)
2. The first time any ally within 15' of me is hit I will use Glimpse of Redemption (reduce damage by 9, and enemy is enfeebled 2). The rules are unclear about whether I can use this at the same time Myrsa is using a shield block, so to keep things simple, I'll not use this if Myrsa is doing a shield block, or if one of the other champions has used their reaction to mitigate the damage.
3. If I am damaged and still have a reaction left, I'll use my own shield block (again, hardness 13).

Lokaloka just took Champion. Apart from the aura, she doesn't have any of the standard abilities yet (i.e. no Glimpse/Retributive/Liberating).

Flash of Grandeur and Revealing Light
[↺, 15-aura]
Imperious divine light flashes out from you to surround your foe. The ally gains resistance to all damage against the triggering damage equal to 2 + your level. Until the end of your next turn, the attacker is affected by revealing light.

A wave of magical light washes over the area. You choose the appearance of the light, such as colorful, heatless flames or sparkling motes. A creature affected by revealing light is dazzled. If the creature was invisible, it becomes concealed instead. If the creature was already concealed for any other reason, it is no longer concealed.

Unless specified differently on my turn (ex. Saving the reaction for a particular enemy, etc), Tao will always use Flash to aid the first ally / enemy who triggers it, further injuring them from subsequent attacks (dazzled). If she does use her shield cantrip, I will specify the conditions of its use in my post.

Thank you everyone for posting those here. It will make it a lot easier to find them versus digging through character profiles.
