Kurvast 1st-level retrained his ability scores, and put his new skill point into Sense Motive. He also resold his weapon and armor, and bought a masterwork earthbreaker, masterwork hide shirt, a Shoanti bola, a flask of alchemist's fire, a mirror, and candles (5).
If anyone has suggestions for spending his 2 PP, I'm open to it. As an armor-wearing monk he's in a bit of a weird position. The normal wand of mage armor doesn't do him much good, and he doesn't have the proficiency for a composite longbow. Wand of enlarge person, maybe?

Well, a Wand of Cure Light Wounds is always useful. The problem with Enlarge Person is that it is a Full Round cast (even for a wand), so you will probably not be getting too much use from it.
From the CRB pg 57 under Proficiencies "When waring armor, using a shield, or carrying a medium or heavy load, a monk loses his AC bonus, as well as his fast movement and flurry of blows abilities." So a wand or potion of Mage Armor/Shield might not be a bad idea. One other thing, because you are 1st level, did you realize that you can rebuild for free. (unless they changed that recently). That means the only thing you need to keep is your PFS number. You could change the race, the stats, the skills, the gear, all of it, and keep your chronicles, all for free, until you hit level 2.

Good point about enlarge person, didn't consider that. Kurvast will pick up a wand of CLW with his prestige, then.

I have been having severe dental pain the last few days, and have gone to the dentist 4 times without relief. I'm trying to keep up, but am having a lot of issue concentrating. Hopefully that should be over soon and I can back in some more.
I've also just gotten word that I am deploying shortly after Christmas, and that shouldn't affect this game, but it's possible. So just a Head's up.

About 2 years ago, I had a tooth pulled, and they accidentally took out a sliver of my jaw that wouldn't detach from the tooth. Turns out that it's created an abscess that is running all the way down my jaw, and it has gotten swollen to the point that it restricts the anesthesia or narcotics from affecting that nerve much, so it literally wears off completely after about 30 mins. Hopefully fixed today. :)

I found out a few years ago (not by personal experience, fortunately) that active infections change tissue pH enough that painkillers don't work anywhere near as well as they should. Which was why I had a few days of nuclear-grade antibiotics before my root canal, because the endodontist and my dentist really wanted to knock down the infection before they starting reaming things out.

It was my pleasure. I honestly do not remember this one being so combat heavy, and could have sworn there was a bit more investigation to it. I liked that last battle as well. So Fetchlings have a 1/Day ability to cast Disguise Self, which is what he did. That's also what the two security guards you let go did as well. The way the Pyramid worked is that on this one night, it would bind people with a special rune, and at the end of that night, they would shift to being natives of the Material Plane to natives of the Shadow Absalom, the Shadow Plane that occupies the same place as Absalom on the Material Plane. There after, they are stuck there, and can not escape it, and eventually they (or their descendants become Fetchlings). Removing them from the site does free that individual, if it is done before a specific time, but does not remove the uncompleted rune. Destroying the machine prevents the blending to the two planes and the magic of the runes from taking place ever again, and I didn't want to mislead you that just removing those individuals was enough. It would free them, but not complete the true mission and the extra PP. Likewise, destroying the Pyramid without rescuing them would have not helped. Any questions on anything? Anything not make sense, or is unclear?
Do only Mur and Virgil have Day Jobs? Anyone making any big purchases or changes (that has not already answered that yes or no)?

HERE is a link tot he folder with the Chronicle Sheets. Let me know if I need to modify anything, and I will report it probably tonight. I will not get an credit for this one, so could someone let me know if (under their characters "Sessions" tab, this one or the last game have shown up as reported yet)?
Also, if anyone gets a special prize boon. My understanding is the more times you play, the more chances you all have to get one, so it would be cool to know if anyone did.

Kurvast would have come back to beat on the pyramid for a while if lugging the twins outside didn't seem to fix them up entirely.
Anyway, go team!
Thanks for another fun table, Beckett. Kurvast is definitely game for yet another scenario. I'm also applying my Mists of Mwangi GM chronicle to bring him up to 2nd level, so he's a purebred Blakros baby.
As far as purchases and adjustments... I'm probably going to retrain him into an ACG class, just because I'm a sucker for the novelty. Brawler seems like the obvious choice for a Maneuver Master, but I'm uncertain.
[spoiler=ACG griping]His current combo requires basically five feats: Improved Trip, Combat Reflexes, and Vicious Stomp, plus IUS and Combat Expertise as prereqs. Compared to the Manuever Master, the Brawler gets one less bonus feat at early levels, and doesn't get to bypass the Combat Expertise requirement, so he's basically two whole feats behind, and needs 13 Int on top of that. As a feat replacement, Martial Maneuvers requires a move action to use, only lasts for a single encounter, and can only be used once a day until 4th level--not a great counter-offer.
The Brawler's full BAB is probably worth all that, and even with the probably-not-intended ability of the MM to flurry in armor, ignoring Wisdom hurts them at higher levels. Still, I feel like the Brawler will be much weaker in the maneuver department at the early levels, and with the exceptionally slow real-time pace of progression in PbPs combined with the lack of any guarantees that your character will even live to see 5th level, I'm less inclined to retrain into a class that's going to be significantly weaker for the next several scenarios.[/ooc]
So I'm probably going to go more in-line with the tribal warrior theme and swap to Bloodrager, unless I decide that another beefy two-hander is too similar to my Warpriest (like I said, sucker for novelty) and just go off in a different direction entirely. I'll figure it out within a day and have a rebuild up so I'm not holding up the table.

I have opened up the new Game Thread HERE, but I need to reread this one a bit and get all the maps and icons set up (shouldn't take too long, a few days at most).
