PFS #41: Crypt of Fools

Instead of creating a dedicated OOC thread as I have in the past, this first post will be used to cover some of the OOC type things I generally get out of the way up front.

Character List

  • [MENTION=29558]Mowgli[/MENTION], Jalil Khoury, Inquisitor, L2
  • [MENTION=70171]PeteZero[/MENTION], Kronk, Alchemist, L2
  • [MENTION=93907]zizazat[/MENTION], Karasu Sosei, Magus, L1
  • [MENTION=92814]soulnova[/MENTION], Isandra Aemaldir, Cleric, L1
  • [MENTION=11732]Helfdan[/MENTION], Kalenth Asturian, Ranger, L1

Do I have everything correct with this character list? I have character sheets for Jalil, Kronk, Karasu, and Isandra. I do not have one (or a link) to one for Kalenth. Feel free to use the beginning of this thread for sorting out last minute mustering issues. I will post the first IC post tomorrow evening/Monday at the latest.

Looking forward to gaming with everyone!

Summary

This post is a FAQ/Helpful Hints thread for the game in general and how I typically run Play-by-Post games.

PFS Organized Play

Because this is a game being played under the Organized Play rules I will need to review character sheets more closely prior to the start of the the game be certain the characters are legal for play. Once the module is complete we will do the day job rolls and I will provide scanned copies of the Chronicle Sheets so you can go on to use this character another time legally.

Play by Post

It is my intent to submit a post as the Game Master a minimum of four times per week, with the more likely number being closer to five times a week. I will do my best to keep up with the pace the group settles in at as time permits. As players it will help the game flow to at least match the minimum of three to four posts per week.

Extended Absences

Going on vacation? Real life is going to keep you from posting for more than a few days? Just let the group know in the out of character thread that you will not be posting during that time. We can arrange to have you character played by the GM as an NPC so the game can continue in your absence.

In the event you are unexpectedly gone for more than a few days, just drop a note when you can let the group know what is up. We will be flexible in working you back into the game. During unexpected absences the GM reserves the right to NPC you character - though actions made by the character will be conservative or follow typical player actions.

Role Playing

Play by Post campaigns are a great place to really role play your character. Generally you have more time to craft a response. Strong role playing is encouraged. Have fun with your character!

Combat

Combat is a part of any Pathfinder game and that is no different here. As a character please list you actions in combat, keeping in mind the environment may change depending on your place in initiative - so take that into account.

You can roll your dice via the EN World forums dice roller or you can use Invisible Castle. If using Invisible Castle, just include the link to the dice roll in the OOC section of your post. I will be rolling via Invisible Castle.

Combat mapping will be done via graphic maps that I link to from the GM posts in the OOC section of the post. I typically don't get as detailed as exact coordinates, just keep your movement rates in mind and describe where you are moving to and I will update your character's representation on the map appropriately.

In Character versus Out of Character

I will not be creating a second OOC thread this time. Please use the [sblock][/sblock] tags to hide your OOC comments behind a spoiler block. It keeps the thread looking a little cleaner that way. PMs to me are also fine if you have something to mention that you would rather not have in the main thread.

GM Background and Style

I have GM'ed many pen and paper campaigns in the past. I am currently running a Kingmaker campaign for my home group. I have also run a Play-by-Post that ran for three years in the past via Yahoo Groups and another on Myth Weavers that ran for a year and half. This is my third time GMing a PFS game via PbP.

I strive to be fair in my rulings during the course of a game, but I am not an encyclopedia of rules. If you disagree with a decision I make I am willing to listen to your side. I do ask that these conversations be kept either in the OOC Table Talk thread or in private messages to keep from distracting too much from the game itself. Please remember that the GM has the final say.

This is an Organized Play adventure, so there will be no house rules beyond what are already set aside in the Guide to Pathfinder Society Organized Play.

And finally this game is supposed to be fun for all. if you have suggestions for me you are welcome to email them to me offline. It takes a work from me and the players to make this an enjoyable experience. Enjoy!

Kronk is lvl 2 now, everything else is fine.
Btw., would you be willing to sign of Prince of Wolves and Plague of shadows - have both books (and read them) for Kronk? Could send you a pic, if you want proof.

No worries. In the scope of things, the week of being not as responsive won't be an issue. Enjoy your vacation!

Cool - updated the first post with the correct level. I already have a Hero Lab file sort of put together for Kronk - just need to know where you put your skill points.

You find yourself within the city of Cassomir summoned to the Pathfinder lodge of this seaside city at the mouth of the Sellen River. Wasting little time in responding to the call put forth you find yourselves at the Pathfinder lodge having made your way through the bustling streets.

Venture-Captain Hestia Themis, a small dark-haired, and dark-eyed woman paces behind her enourmous blackwood desk within the lodge and nods her head as you are escorted into her office. "Greetings! she begins. "It is a pleasure to see several of you again since your recovery of the jet rat. It reassures me to see successful pathfinders answering the summons for this most recent issue."

"I am perplexed. A new kidnapping spree plagues my beloved city. It seems our citizens make easy prey to those who profit from such exploits. While this disturbs me, I am more troubled by reports that some of those kidnapped return to the city as undead monsters who accompany this Cult of Nature’s Cataclysm plague, a plague that I can’t seem to excise from my beloved city.

"This ends now! For a third time we battle Groetus-worshiping dogs and there will not be a fourth!" Taking several deep breaths, Hestia regains her composure. "I am sending you to Swift Prison to interrogate a cultist we captured who was trying to kidnap a local engineer. Meet my man Garver out front—he’ll take you in to see the Nature’s Cataclysm fool. Find out where the other cultists hide, where they’ve taken their recent victims, and how they’re turning them into skeletons. Free as many Cassomir citizens as you can—the good publicity never hurts. Any questions?"


[sblock=OOC]

I will be PMing faction missions shortly.

"Again?" Kronk sighs, "I hope we can put an end to this cult. So, where did the last kidnapping attempt took place then?" Kronk asks.

"The kidnappings have happened various places across the city." Venture-Captain Themias replies. "They seem to be targeting engineers, city planners, masons, and such. I believe the count is up to fifteen missing, all ones of these trades. The last one was taken a short distance from the masons guild we believe.

Isandra's usual cheerful face turned serious and hard at the mention of the cultists. Even more when the word undead was involved. "Rest easy, Venture-Captain, we will do our best to get rid of these... defilers of life." her hands almost instinctively reached for the wooden symbol of Sarenrae hanging around her neck.
