[PFS] The Many Fortunes of Grandmaster Neb

[Nebten]

Here's the Discussion page.

Repeat of Ground Rules:

* I use group initiative. What I do is average my creatures initiative modifier then add it to a d20 roll. Then average the PC's initiative modifier and add it to a d20 roll. The characters can go in any other when it is there turn to go. The side that has the highest roll goes first, then flip-flops from there. This speeds things up on the boards since you don't have to wait for the dwarf fighter to go so that you can act.

* I will roll saving throws, AoO's and some skills depending on the situation. If there is an error with the roll, feel free to let me know.

* No meta-gaming, faerie whispering or telling people what they should do during a battle or conversations. Only short phrases should be used on your turn during combat.

* I ask that you do not read spoiler tags that are not in your name.

When we are ready to "move on" from an encounter/environment I will need at least 3 people to agree on a course of action before moving on with said course of action.

I'm going to keep a link to the battle map at the top of the page.

That's it for now. Let's rock!

[Hawkwen Agricola]

So...we have:

Aasimar Paladin
Tengu Druid
Tengu Rogue
Human Alchemist

I can bring a selection of PC's all Level Twos

Half-Elf Urban Ranger - my preference because he's Shadow Lodge and it fits the flavor of the scenarios, though I worry about time to get in Rivalry.

Tiefling Inquisitor
Human Sorcerer (Seeker)
Human Bard (Archaeologist)

[Nebten]

Rivalry comes out July 5th and you need to be 3rd level to play it. I'm not sure if you took those facts into consideration.

[Hawkwen Agricola]

Well a person has until Aug. 14 to play it. Your back to back scenarios plus a GM credit.

[Mikhaere]

Woot, thanks for picking me. :)

[Eadie Navhelan]

Hi Guys

I have been invited to be the sixth member of the party.

Rackle, great to see you again!

Mikhaere, Am I right in thinking you are an Australian Raven?

If so .... Who says "Stone the flamin' crows!" ?

Is it
A. Toadie from neighbours
B. Alf from Home & Away
C. No normal person ever says Stone the Flamin Crows!

Bonus Question .... How many slabs can you fit in the boot of a Torana?

If you're travelling from Newcastle to Sydney, what brand are the slabs?

[Mikhaere]

Tiddalik was too obvious, I take it. :)

Answer is D: both B and C.

And I don't know the answer to your bonus question, although being a Novocastrian I feel that I should. :P

[Eadie Navhelan]

Lol

Are you seriously from Newcastle? Maybe Aroden isn't dead and guided my hand ...

If that's the case, I'll try a bold prophesy ...

I suspect we may become friends. :)

[Mikhaere]

Yep. Well, more or less. I live outside of the city now, but I'm there most days of the week for university. You from the area too?

[Eadie Navhelan]

No, I'm a couple of borders further west. Though I'm originally from Qld.

Rackle gapes in amazement. "Three thousand?! We could buy our own ship for that! We don't have to listen to this..." he sputters. Couldn't resist. ;)

Mella looks over at Rackle and says, "And who'd fly it birdman? You?"

[Eadie Navhelan]

Eadie looks at Maaarv, "I'd rather kiss a Swamp Tengu."

[Mikhaere]

Mikhaere would be offended if he was not too busy trying to figure out how you kiss with a beak. "A peck on the cheek" taken literally, perhaps...?

[Maaarv Bergavsten]

Eadie, that wasn't necessarily meant to be smooth talk. I was just trying to work some Van Halen references into the dialog. But perhaps I am under the incorrect assumption that your character's name is a reference to the greatest guitar player of the last 30 years.

[Eadie Navhelan]

Maaarv, it’s all good from my side! :)

You’re right about Eddie Van Halen and I totally missed your references …
*D’oh* Seems so obvious in hindsight.

This has been bugging me ... but I couldn't get it without interweb help.

I think Neb's Quote is from:

Gauntlet *Double D'oh*

[Jarlgur Flamnord]

Awesome Eadie. I recognized it but could not place it as well.

[Mella Gbadu]

Oh kids...you didn't get that joke right away? :D

Grumbles about her misspent hours of childhood playing Gauntlet before and after school at the 7-11

Oh, so that was you! Arcade games were a rare treat for me as a child. (20 cents a turn? – no one has that kind of money!)

BUT, a home version (run through your TV) PONG clone had made it to Australia by the early 80’s.

My brother and I thought it was the greatest thing we had ever seen.

We confidently predicted, “This game will NEVER be surpassed!”

[Mikhaere]

Feeling incredibly young right about now... :)

[Nebten]

Keep the OOC off the Gameplay board. No meta-gaming or bad karma will happen.

[Maaarv Bergavsten]

Sorry, GM. I'll remember to keep ooc in the discussion board. By the way, I just want to say that with one more bad roll on the Fort save, young Maarv could've bit it. He's currently at 3 DEX. 11 points of DEX damage. Nasty. :-)

[Mikhaere]

Apologies for the OOC clutter, GM, although I don't feel that this is meta-gaming. I'll drag that conversation here, then.

But wow, I didn't realise Maaarv went so low! Yikes, that was a close one. It'll probably take a couple more hits with lesser restoration to get you back up to snuff, then. (Unless you're lucky with those dice rolls!) Happy to chip in a bit to pay for some restoration spells on you two by the way.

[Maaarv Bergavsten]

Thanks for the offer to pitch in. But Maaarv will refuse any monetary help. He's got 683 gp after the antitoxin - which should be enough to get him at least mostly back to normal.

And GM, my recounting of the damage numbers is not meant to be whining. This is really going to make an interesting scenario. It'll be something I get to tell my kids and grandkids about.

"Did I ever tell you about the time when I took 11 points of DEX damage..." Haha.

[Nebten]

I didn't figure you were whining, Maaarv. I was shytting my pants along with you. I just bought all my PC's antitoxin though. Lesson learned!

[Mikhaere]

I think I'll be keeping some antitoxin on me from now on as well. And I think my paladin might pick up the neutralise poison mercy too...

[Eadie Navhelan]

What would you like to do now?

Get a stiff drink!

Wow! Way to go building up the tension. Great job, Neb!

[Maaarv Bergavsten]

GM - I posted and lost my request for healing from Kary. I am in a rush toning and likely won't be able to post tonight. Would you mind RP-ing it out for me. Sorry to be a burden. Id like to get Maaarv back to at least 12 Dex. I can spend up to 688 gp. Thanks.

[Mikhaere]

Just letting everyone know that I have an exam tomorrow so I'm probably not going to be able to post until tomorrow afternoon after it's done. (Busy cramming maths!)

[Maaarv Bergavsten]

Alright, I'm able to post. I was afraid I would hold the group up. Mikhaere, best of luck on your Maths exam.

[Eadie Navhelan]

Good luck, Mikhaere … or as Tengu actors say for luck, Break a Wing!

[Jarlgur Flamnord]

Yep, good luck.

[Jarlgur Flamnord]

Unless Maaarv or Eadie need some coin, which I am more than happy to give, Jarlgur will purchase the following:

Antitoxin (2) 100 gp
Antiplague (2) 100 gp
Scroll of Lesser Restoration (4 spells) 100 gp
Total 300 gp

[Nebten]

Lesser restoration is 150 gp per scroll.

Page 25, Guide to PFS wrote:

All potions, scrolls, wands, and other consumables are made by clerics, druids, or wizards in Pathfinder Society Organized Play. The only exceptions are spells that are not on the cleric, druid, or wizard spell list. For example, a scroll of lesser restoration must be purchased as a 2nd-level scroll off the cleric spell list and may not be purchased as a 1st-level scroll off the paladin spell list.

[Jarlgur Flamnord]

That's what I get for trusting HeroLab. Stoopid computers.

[Maaarv Bergavsten]

So, is 'golden scarab' just flavor text for gold pieces? If so, I think Maaarv was undercharged - shouldn't he have been charged 360 - 60 for each Restoration?

However, judging by those rolls, it seems a few of those priests weren't praying very hard. :-)

I honestly have not heard the golden scarab nomenclature before.

[Nebten]

You are correct on both sides. Don't know where 180 came from. So 360 for the lot. Honestly my mind was off. If you want to pay 380 for Restoration to get all of the damage healed, you can. Or 2 PP if you have any to spare. What ever you choose is cool. I should have given you the option, but my mind was fuzzy.

The nomenclature comes from the Inner Sea World Guide, p 253

Katapesh coinage goes grain(cp), penny (sp), scarab (gp) and genie (pp).

[Mikhaere]

Thanks for the well-wishes all! I think I did pretty decently.

Nebten, if it's okay I'd like to purchase two antitoxins as well, just in case. :) Time warp shenanigans or some such.

[Jarlgur Flamnord]

So I'll purchase one scroll for 150.

[Jarlgur Flamnord]

Dang! Forgot the wool part. And it was wooly rhinoceros wool at that.

[Maaarv Bergavsten]

I may have screwdriver up the battle map. I tried to access it from my kindle fire - with poor results. Sorry Neb.

[Nebten]

Battle map is fine Maaarv. I apologize if it seems like I'm dumping on you. I really am not. Those are the starting points for the second wave. You just so happen to choose poorly.

There always seems to be one poor soul who gets dumped on in my games. Last two times it was a certain paladin.

[Maaarv Bergavsten]

All good Neb. Maaarv is learning about life outside of the lab.

[Eadie Navhelan]

Apologies, so used to thinking when their down, their dead.

It's cool, Jarlgur :)

It's only 2 points of healing, Far is on his arse - sorry a$s, Mella is on her way and most importantly ... Maaarv is stable.

[Maaarv Bergavsten]

Well, stable is such a relative term. At least, that's what my psychiatrist tells me...

[Rackle Rakis]

I'm going to be out of town from Tuesday to Friday. No internet where I'm heading, so no posts from me during that time.

[Jarlgur Flamnord]

So what is the distance from the balcony to the dust swirl, in regards to say..a Color Spray? If it's too far, what do you need, an Acro check?

[Nebten]

If Jarlgur moved to K16 he could get the Dust in the Color Spray cone. No Acro check needed.

[Jarlgur Flamnord]

Consider it done.

[Eadie Navhelan]

Mella and Mikhaere you are making me smile

Mella congrats on your adventure in Wayfinder 9!
