Player Name: Warah
Character Name: Pai Shecks
PFS #: 289224-1
Faction: Liberty's Edge
Day job (if any) and die roll:
Pai is a somewhat impulsive female gnome kineticist who chose air (electricity) as her element. She likes to think that she's intimidating, but sometimes the effect is more comical than she intends. It really galls her that people in power can get away with pretty much anything, and she'd like nothing more than to abolish the hierarchies which plague all societies.
Plus, she despises snobs and stuck up bullies. They're such insufferable jerks.

Player Name: Big Joe
Character Name: Omero Tegus
PFS #: 20941-17
Faction: Dark Archive
Day job (if any) and die roll:
Omero is a Chelaxian Paladin of Iomedae who aspires to one day join one of the great orders of law that reside just with the boarders of the Empire of Cheliax. To this end you chooses to live his life by the law almost to the exclusion of anything else.
Due to Omero's height, size, and outward attitude he can easily come across as gruff, uncaring, and even a bit frightening. If you can get past what he puts on as his people facing front you will find a man who simply wants to live a life of order and bring that same order to a world lost to chaos.
The gameplay thread seems to be broken. I am asking to get it fixed.
Yeah, it is fine. It will likely take that long for the threads to be unbroken.

Player Name: GM PDK
Character Name: Myrtella Sanova
PFS #: 4456-13
Faction: The Exchange
Day job (if any) and die roll:
Myrtella was born of Tian Xia immigrants and is thus second generation in the lands of Avistan. She had a happy childhood, traveling with her parents everywhere and had many interactions with the Varisian people, and with some isolated elf communities. She developed an entrepreneurial spirit that is only exceeded by her love of knife throwing and other games of precision. Her semi-nomadic lifestyle allowed her to pick up a few tricks and some minor control over arcane magic, but she never attended a fancy school or had the chance to truly delve in books for any lengthy period of time.

My apologies - I was just working on getting Maha's profile set up and I realized that I applied a GM credit for the Confirmation way back when, so he is not eligible to play this. If you'll accept another character - I have a level 2 character who is ready to go now. If I remember correctly, you can play the Confirmation once with a level 2 character, which I have not yet done.
Assuming this is ok, I'll go ahead and post with him so that I don't slow things down any further but if you would prefer not to have a level 2 I'll understand. And sorry again for the confusion.
That's fine Birseko and Myrtella
I am GMing 2 tables of this and I let this one slide for a couple of days. I am sorry. I was waiting for more action and then forgot to check back. Apologies again. I will work to not have it happen again. I am however easily distracted :)

I'm here too - sorry for the slowness in posting - my parents were in town visiting this weekend.
Out of curiosity, how many of us have never played the Confirmation before? I would prefer to take a back seat for things like conversation with this Gillman if there are some of us who have never played it. But of course if we've all played it then we can't all be in the back seat! :-)
Edit - oops, I should have written that more clearly - I've played the Confirmation a few times and have also run it.

Ok then.
@GM Ietsuna: since everyone has played/run confirmation before, I would not be offended if you fast forward to the action parts. The lore part of this adventure, while fantastic in its own right, just doesn't generate the same sense of wonderment when the entire party has not only experienced it with another PC but also delved nose deep into it in a GM capacity.
I'm guessing it's the long-term downside of Evergreens- at some point they will get a bit repetitive, unless they add a 'Part B' or 'Part C' to spice things up (like they're doing with Solstice Scar).
The damp air becomes increasingly stale, and the stench of decay grows as you travel down this tunnel. The passage turns east and opens into a small cavern littered with bits of broken glass, rotting pieces of paper and other unusable detritus. The body of a male humanoid lies facedown toward the back.
But before you can check on him or search the room, several creatures lunge out of the shadows
If you roll 21 or higher, you may ask for more information.

Head.... Desk. Ugh. I am not making a good showing for myself guys. Sorry.
Development: If the PCs save Janira’s life, she thanks
them profusely and promises to both help the PCs in their future missions and submit a glowing recommendation for their heroism. After praising their actions, she pauses in thought and eagerly inquires about what they found in the caves. She provides advice and moral support if the PCs seem to have struggled in understanding the caves’ significance, but she does not follow the PCs into the caves to help them interpret and catalogue the area; this is their Confirmation, after all. With their guide safe, the PCs are free to explore the rest of the caves at their leisure. Any encounters the PCs may have bypassed or skipped are treated as optional encounters the PCs may face if time and inclination permit.

Suggestion: since most people want to run the other alternate encounters... how about we wrap up this one and do the other encounters with different PCs, hmm? :)
I have two Core PCs (male gnome cleric or female dwarf monk) who could use a Confirmation chronicle... and I have a brand new Classic/Standard druid with owlbear companion who could use this too! :)

In the last run of Confirmation I was in, one player had to leave early. So essentially the GM had that PC sat outside with Janira while the rest of us finished exploring the cave. Just a thought, in case we choose to continue, but someone wants their character to be freed up sooner.
Myrtella's suggestion would work if everyone who wanted to continue exploring the cave has other PC(s) available for another run of Confirmation. (I don't.)
My preference is to finish exploring the cave. Pai is curious about it, and wants to see if the artwork extends to any other areas beyond the main cavern. She also doesn't like to leave things unfinished. That unexplored passage is going to bug the heck out of her.

I have played this with 7 characters, plus Oded and Kam(currently playing in GM Ietsuna's other confirmation).
The way this session is set up, alot of the encounters are completely random, so the session has to potential to be different each time you play....or at least until you get into the 6+ times like me.
Finishing the cave system will be the same maps, just the encounters will change.
There is just 1 encounter left. I don't think you would get a full chronicle for the 1 encounter although I have not encountered that situation so I am not sure. I am happy to run another Confirmation straight on the heels of this one, if you can put up with my GMing again.
Anyone else want in on another? Even if you choose to do the remaining combat we should be done by mid-next week. I'll advertise over the weekend to fill any spots we have left.
Ok, we are done. I will wrap up the gameplay thread and get chronicles out in the next couple days. Thanks all. I will make a more detailed post later.
