Thanks everyone. Looking forward to the next installment. Really solid group and Rhuul's jokes are priceless. I have read them to my wife and friends (and not just the jokes, but the roleplay in general from everyone has been talked about.)
It has been interesting as Herrick is my least talkative character, quite unlike any of my others.
I am going through a move right now(new house) so it is a perfect time for a break. See you all soon! Cheers!

I've got a load of cash, any thoughts about higher level items for a bard?
Sure I can just upgrade my defences a bit, but I'm sure there must be some natty items out there that I've never heard of that would be excellent.
FJC question: Does letting that orc chef go count as "Accept the surrender of an enemy combatant (other than an evil outsider or undead creature), and ensure his fair treatment until he can be safely released, ransomed, or delivered to authorities for justice. Alternatively, allow an enemy combatant with no means of escape to lee without further harm."

GM Rinaldo |

Rhuul, he was never a "combatant", so I would have to say No. Had he initially attacked, then asked for quarter, it would have counted.

GM Rinaldo |

What about the CR of any of those undead? I'm guessing none got up to 10?
Not at low tier, sorry. :)

Scraping the barrel now... would the moonflower count as an evil force that is possessing or otherwise controlling a creature?

![]() |

Oooh, yes it does sound like you are getting warmer...only hitch might be that Moonflowers are listed as neutral, not evil.

Bahh, can't be bothered doing charity work for a brand new FJC. No ticks this scenario.

Updated with correct Chronicle, except for how many wand charges I used. I'd estimate at least 20 each of Shield and Reduce Person (both 1 minute duration each charge). @GM, opinion?

GM Rinaldo |

So, did anyone level up? I want to make sure our APL hasn't changed.
Let me get everyone to post a new Chronicle Block for me, both to mark the start of the scenario and to get new Day Job rolls.

OK, so with Xen levelling up, you have hit a magical number:
(8+8+10+8+9+8)/6 = 8.5
If the result of the Average Party Level calculation ends with 0.5, the players should decide whether to round up or down.
If we round down to 8, we play subtier 7-8. If we round up to 9, we play subtier 10-11. Playing up will be a higher challenge, but will earn more money for everyone except Herrick (who is out-of-tier either way).
What do you think?

![]() |

We only have one PC in the actual 10-11 tier. So on the one hand it seems crazy to play up. But on the other we were not strongly challenged in the last mod. I could go either way. Note that as we play through these other people will level and I think the next time that happens we will no longer have the choice and be high. So perhaps stay low for this run?

![]() |

I vote lower, but I'm happy either way.

![]() |

I'm happy either way. We'll chew through scenario two at low tier I expect. Given this is a season 1 and was designed for four characters and without a lot of the goodies that have appeared later, we would probably be okay at higher tier. But Rhuul is no melee monster, nor does he do a lot of direct damage, so it is a little on the risky side.

![]() |

Don't sell yourself short. I think Rhuul definitely PUNches above his weight class.
Oh, gods. It's infectious!

![]() |

Happy to go with the group feeling on this. I might have said go high with my first instinct, just because Garmit is a gambler by heart and impulsive by nature...but low is fine with me also.

![]() |

I would think we could handle the challenge of high tier, especially if it gives us more money, but I will go with the group's wishes and go for low tier.
As Rhuul said, we will likely chew through it at low tier, but that just gives us a bit more wiggle room for the following scenarios.

![]() |

I'm fine either way.

GM Rinaldo |

Just a heads-up, I will be attending Emerald City Comic Con this weekend, so my posting will be sporadic starting Friday. I'll try to check in at least once a day, probably in the evening.

GM Rinaldo |

It's late Friday after day 1 of the con. I'm going to just plan to take the weekend off from the game. Posts will resume Monday morning. ;-)

![]() |

Yep. Understand. Been there. Have fun.
And I need to give a heads up that I will be traveling next Thursday. for about 10 days. I can most most days but likely only in the mornings and evenings.

![]() |

I am leaving for a 10 day trip tomorrow. My posting will be limited to shorter posts from an iPad and likely only in the evenings. Please bot me if I get behind. I travel home on the 17th and should be back to normal on the 18th.

Botting Xen
1) Stare! Then shoot or charm Monster. Painful stare adds 3d6+6 if she hits or just +6 if some else hits. This is once a round. If they are hit, by anyone once the stare is up that starts a bleed 2.
2) Second round is swift intimidate.
3) IF the enemy of a stare drops by anyone they Xen can animate it and have it work for her for three rounds.
4) Activate trick on Garmit as needed. If used reinstall trick as a standard as a high priority.
5) Command any undead to add troops to our side.

![]() |

Hey guys, I'll be away for a short vacation until 18 Mar, Sunday. I'll still have internet access but posting will likely slow. Please bot as needed.

GM Rinaldo |

This Saturday is St. Patrick's Day, which is a big excuse for an all day beer-fest in most of the US. I don't expect to post at all that day. I will probably be around Sunday, but not necessarily fully alert. ;-)

Also known as a day that ends in "y".
Thanks for the heads-up. Enjoy your green beer.

I leave for New York City around noon tomorrow and from there will leave for 11 days in China on Wednesday. I will be back late on Saturday April 7 and begin to catch up on April 8th. And yes I know I just got back from a trip.
I will have an iPad with me (better than posting from a phone) and should have internet most of the time but there are three days that are remote so I am almost sure I will not have internet all the time. I will do my best to post some but please both me instead of waiting for me. This is my last trip longer than a long weekend I have planned for the entire year.

![]() |

Have fun, Xen! Business or pleasure?

GM Rinaldo |

Had a guest this weekend and slept late this morning, so update will be in a couple of hours.

GM Rinaldo |

Congratulations on completing Part 2! Chronicles are posted.
Take a day or two to update, level up, and make new purchases. When you are ready, post a new game info block for me:
