Regarding pre-game RP, what's the meeting point setting? Or are we to wing it?

I've got several ooc things to say, so posting here instead of cluttering gameplay:
- Everybody except Anduris is paying 1 PP for the spell.
- The 1 PP includes Sahba, as it is a mass version of the spell.
- You don't get extra crystals for Sahba, though. Similar to a potion, it would take a full-round action instead of a standard to administer to another creature. I'm also going to say it requires a "push", as chewing for 1 minute without swallowing is unnatural for a velociraptor.
- There are vendors for last minute purchases, within reason. I don't think some guy is going to have a 36,000 gp headband of inspired wisdom +6 on his rickety, one horse cart.

Please pay attention to the "Gravity" line in the initiative blocks. It affects how high you can jump, how much you can lift, projectile ranges, and falling damage.
For the first combat, it is at 1/5 normal. That means your jumping, lifting and projectile ranges are x5, and falling damage is reduced. But you won't actually realize all of this until AFTER your first attempt to do one of these actions.
Conversely, if gravity is doubled, all of the above numbers would get cut in half, and falling damage would increase.
Hey all, GM Hmm here. There’s been a crazy site outage going on for most Paizo users. For some reason I can get in while connected to mobile, so I’m just letting you know what is going on. Your GMs are trying to get back in and will post as soon as they are able.
Thanks for your patience!

Flank (DC20): You can instruct an animal to attack a foe you point to and always attempt to be adjacent to (and threatening) that foe. If you or an ally is also threatening the foe, the animal attempts to flank the foe, if possible. It always takes attacks of opportunity. The animal must know the attack trick before it can learn this trick.
@Darvan: It is right in the text of the trick. Also, keep in mind that Flank is a variation of Attack, which requires the companion to move directly to the closest square.
|
Ah, I read the italicized portion to mean that, if someone the companion is threatening provokes, it would always use that opportunity to attack. I would have expected it to say "it always provokes attacks of opportunity", since that's the language that is used elsewhere. Either way, if your judgement is that Sahba provokes, so be it.

First, note that there is no illumination in the area. You need to provide your own light sources, and it is possible to get separated from each other. You don't have to worry about the cold, since everybody bought the planetary adaptation.
Success requires one person to succeed at two Climb or Survival checks. Each check takes 5 minutes, or 10 minutes upon failure (you get lost and double back).
The tunnels are slick, and moving faster than half speed requires an Acrobatics check. You fall prone on a failure, and slide toward one of the chasms on a big failure. You get a Reflex save to catch yourself, or else fall into the chasm.
Additionally, there is a haunt that appears every five minutes. Since the oracle warned you about it, you may buff up against fear and mind-affecting stuff before hand. If you fail the Will save against it, you become panicked for 1 round and flee at full speed (see above). I don't think anybody has channel energy, so I'm going to skip initiative and attempts to actually fight it.
---------
So, what does all that mean?
- One person needs to roll Climb or Survival, others can aid.
- Everybody needs to make a Will save vs. fear, mind-affecting.
- Everybody should roll Acrobatics.
- Everybody should roll Reflex.
- Everybody should roll Climb.
Please make your rolls in exactly this order:
(include "aid" if aiding)
Then please repeat that dice block 3 more times, so that I have enough information to narrate two successes and one failure if necessary.
Hey Gang, Granta's not feeling well. I'm sending in Gayel Nord to serve as your backup GM for 2-3 days. Granta will be back before you know it.

Thank you, Hmm and Gayel :-)
I have heat exhaustion, and it's a lot more draining in real life than in Pathfinder. I don't even have the mental energy to watch a movie without taking a nap.
The good news is that two days of rest and lots of water is all its supposed to take to recover, so I'll hopefully be back on Tuesday.
Amelia, the elemental is an ally.

Anduris, your heal wasn't high enough. DC 15.
You are welcome Granta. Your format is a Good one.

Hello Cosmonauts!
The lovely staff at Paizo gave me 15 ten-dollar gift certificates to distribute across the Cosmic Captive Special. Alas, we have 25 tables, so not every table can win one. In order to pick winners, I’m hosting a Cosmic Giveaway!
The Rules:
You cannot nominate yourself. You cannot pick me. Pick someone else (fellow player, GM, backup GM) who made your experience of Cosmic Captive fun! Tell me why!
You can submit only one name, but you can make a submission on the above link from now until July 9th.
Some names will likely get chosen because of the stories you tell me. Some may get selected in a random lottery. I’ll try to spread the love around to as many different tables as I can.
Hugs,
Hmm

We are moving forward tomorrow morning. If actions aren't posted by then, they will be lost and the encounter deemed a failure.
@Hamith: I can't tell you how well the alchemist's fire works until you roll damage.
@Darvan: You successfully chipped away a couple ounces of ice. 9,999 tons to go.
@Amelia: That would require resist energy or protection from energy.

I vote wrath. Seems the simplest option than debating who gets what magic items.

That would be ok.. but we do have two of us that still have con damage from the vampiric mist. I thing that we could really benefit from the wrath wish, but I couldn't in good conscience choose that over healing everyone up.
GM, is the wrath some type of rage power? and if we go that route, how will it affect the spellcasters?

Each move action requires its own Climb check, and nobody has a 60 ft. base speed (or declared a fast climb), so that means at least two Climb checks for everybody. Three checks if you have a base speed of 20 ft.
@Anibal: Catching a falling character requires a touch attack followed by a Climb check, and cannot exceed your heavy load. Hamith would easily put you over that weight, which means that success would just cause you to fall with him. Since you have Climb trained, we'll assume your character knows all that and doesn't needlessly risk his own neck.
@Darvan: If the fall was high enough to cause lethal damage, I would say that requires a "push". As it stands, "come" would work.

I am going home for a couple hours of sleep before I have to drive across the state later this afternoon. Depending on my exhaustion tonight I may not be able to post so please bot me if you need to move things along.

The Winners for the Cosmic Giveaway have been announced!

2 quick questions:
What exactly is the puzzle orb? I don't see it referenced in the text (I might have missed it), unless it's the floating polyhedron itself.
Would Graxzos's Utility Shot deed be of any use here (specifically the blast lock ability)? I'm assuming no since it's not a mechanical lock, but thought I'd check.

Hamith will target the outermost healing ring. I'm not sure where that is exactly, so if you could move me adjacent to it, that would be great.
