Because we need a discussion part too.....is the geast in general.
I work with google docs for the maps.
For combat i'll roll initiative to keep it fast.

Checking in, halfling summoner ready for anything.
Short, cute, quite and polite, this halfling is dressed in red and black and keep his chin down, often only looking at people through his eyebrows. He keeps his eidolon unsummoned and his infernal powers hidden unless he's specifically asked or the direst need is upon them.
Thanks for the opportunity, look forward to playing with everyone.
Weither or not something or someone is quite depends on the person you're asking. To orcs, you're just lunch.
To your fellow halflings, that huge chin might be cute, who knows.
^^
As are the barbequed ones on a stick i saw on a market in China, from what the guide told me.
Neat, i see you come prepared against swarms.
Let me comfort you in advance with the fact no swarms are in this scenario.

Done updating Asami. She is ready now.
Running a game for the girls was fun. I learned I am a bad GM from the mechanics perspective, and don't know the rules well enough to keep the flow going when there's a lot going on (three characters, 3 animal companions plus an NPC party member didn't help things). The saving grace - the final battle was epic for my girls. Even I felt the energy. They're chomping to do more, and my youngest said that was the "best story" I ever did with them (I do impromptu story telling with them). So, I struggled a lot, but there may be hope for me as a GM yet.
You will work the mechanics out with practice. Many GM's are all rules and mechanics, and get stuck in the storytelling/roleplaying aspects. If you can tell a good story, you will be a terrific GM with enough practice to be comfortable. Even the most seasoned GM's get tripped up by the rules occasionally.
I enjoy a good book, if things are told properly it "catches" you, catch my drift. Something so you can visualize the thing going on.
So my aim is that as well. I'll refer to the saying "practice makes perfect", but the latter word can be replaced by 'great', since DoctorEvil makes a valid point about seasoned GMs.
Sele, you've just been called a woman by our very perceptive fox lady.
These rats have a mere 5 hp, this aught to be a walk in the park.
May i point out it's likely humanoids in general would be distinguishable by the female curves. As well as voice. ^^
Friendly nudge, may i suggest you corner him before he goes *poof* again.
Imps have DR5 silver/good. Electricity would work.
Nym would know this after he made that kn. planes roll.
Asami and her dirty mind...I had to read that twice. o.O
Then i'm to assume you failed the secret message earlier on on the post where the roc attacked. XD
So....Asami, did you buy a hat? :)

Asami, I need you to explain me something.
I'll make sure our paladin friend dresses them down
I´ll have to translate "dresses" and my dictionary says it don´t exists, and the more similar word means "clothes".
So, Sele is going to undress Keera? Because she has been a bad girl?
I´m unsure if Auntie Baldwin will consider this a punishment for being a tresspaser.
But if it´s neccesary for the Pathfinder Society, Keera will agree with doing this in private and not doing an spectacle about it.
;D
On the map, ignore the ugliness of 4 squares, i like to give a face to the NPC you'll be clobbing down, opposed to a mere circle with a letter.
Also, if you've any healing left, i suggest you do so.

I think you made that bit work too perfect for them.. just out of nowhere.. where they can't see either the halfling finds me no worries and then asami...? You wrote total concealment outside 5 foot, means no one can see anything including them.
He can't charge, so he would have to move and that should give us a perception roll, then if he finds one of us he would be able to attack.
Fast movement, this halfling is a barbarian, he didn't charge.
Before the mist came down, they see where you are. Since you guys have a fixed position and they got the surprise round, he moves there and strikes at the 1st he sees. 1 on 1 there's the 20% miss chance, beyond that square distance it's 50%.
I just got lucky dice and i feel bad, if that's a comfort.
When i played we were a 4 player party, Ledford & co rolled generally poorly.
The pdf mentions the perception rolls on the travels gives the option to notice them as the hostiles, and allows acting in their surprise round.
I can understand arguments, but would present these;
For them not be able to see you, they set you up, pre determined.
When i was a PC, we didn't get perception rolls in that encounter, but we passed the rolls and via that, noticed it was a setup.
If any PCs made their Perception or Sense Motive checks to notice the thugs watching them as they traveled about the city, they recognize one of their attackers just before the ambush, realizing that they’ve seen the thug’s face before. These PCs may act in the surprise round.

That's fine. I get they have surprise round, and the barbarian beat us on initiative for the first round. But, I think only one of us goes down if he didn't charge. The surprise round is SA only, not Full Round. So, he moves or attacks, but not both.
As i understand it, he approaches us during the surprise round, and that's all he gets. Then, first round, he takes someone out.

I think, if the roll of 22 makes it, Sele gets a standard action during the surprise round as well, after the barbarian moves in.
Sadly, I can't picture any reasonable paladin action that changes what happens round one. Unless Sele walks around town with a drawn weapon.
This is one weird encounter. Asami is just going to watch what happens with bated breath. Hope this resolves everything. Go Sele!
Final Encounter. Take 2. :P
You are totally correct Sele, i apologize on that. So before the halfling would pop up, what will you do.
@Sele, the pdf mentions only those conditions. They'd have mentioned otherwise if that were the case.
@Keera, they saw you guys prior to the fog coming down. They had led you here so know your place of arrival.
