Done. :)
I have some purchases I know I want to make at the beginning of the game (didn't have a chance to do so at the end of the previous Scenario). Should I outline them here? Or would you prefer those be handled in-game?
Please list any expendable magic items that you need someone else to activate and/or are willing to share with other characters. For example, do you have a scroll of lesser restoration that you’ll need the cleric to cast if you take ability damage?
If you have a Day Job, roll that as well.

Jak is a consumate drifter and adventurer. He's charming, friendly, and adventurous. Unfortunately, he also tends to have a penchant for recklessness.
For combat strategy, it depends a lot on his teammates. Given that we have Eurkar as a heavier-hitter, Jak will likely try to keep his shield on-hand and act as the "tank" as needed. He'll tend to try to work with his teammates when possible (flanking, etc). He also has Inspire Courage and a few castings of Alter Self to help bring some additional oomph to a fight, if necessary.

Gardol is introspective and likes to think things through. He's easy-going with friends and companions, especially once he gets to know them, but he know his limitations...not being charismatic, he tends to be more practical than charming with his words...
Gardol can provide ranged support with his longbow in combat, but can also use his longsword in melee in a pinch...he is also willing to scout as needed...

Having completed his training, Eurkar's master sent him out in the world to explore and come back in 10 years time to report what he has learned. If he happens to come across another monk in his travels, he is not to kill them (use non-lethal) unless they are trying to kill Eurkar.
Other than that, he has three daily tasks: Aid someone in need, Study a plant to understand its medicinal properties and Do something unusual, like try a food he had not eaten before.
Eurkar has a quarterstaff in his hand and a light crossbow on his back. When fighting foes that he wants to capture, he uses a special technique that his master had shown him (Stunning fist) but normally does not use it.

Anastasia is a researcher, first and foremost. She is most interested in arcane knowledge, but will happily learn about anything. Her mind is quick, but her mouth cannot usually keep up and she tends to just skip words or even entire sentences, which makes it pretty hard to understand her. She isn’t interested in interactions if they aren’t about exchanging knowledge. She honest and open about her own thoughts, even when they should be kept back. She is not quiet or reclusive, she genuinely believes everyone shares her interests. She is not mean, but thinking about research first and people second makes her seem cold.
In battle, she tries to use her more powerful spells to turn the odds to her favor, and outside of that uses her ranged attacks with cantrips and school powers. Her rapier and longbow are more for show, mainly used for threatening as she cannot do much damage with them. She doesn’t have any qualms about using them, and as her minor spells have short range she will switch to her longbow on longer ranges, but she does know her limited strength.
Please make sure that your stat bar includes alignment, race, class & level, AC, hp, saves, initiative, senses, and CMD. If you prepare spells, post them in this thread.
Also, please copy your avatar to the map.

Also, any word from Luke Parry?

I'm here - I was one of the first to 'dot' the Gameplay thread, and I sent the requested info yesterday.

I had forgotten to add stats for my familiar to my page. It wasn't going to do anything except keep me more alive with +3 HP, but it can be killed. Now everything should be there.
Still need map tokens from Eurkar and Jack.
@Jack: What are your personality and combat tactics like?
Male Human DEAD
Well, he is based on This Guy.
Basically, I will shoot things ;-)
I can also handle the typical 'Survivalist' skills.

You guys are one of the first tables to finish the gauntlet of preparation. We'll officially start once the other tables are ready, but for now let's do some RP in the gameplay thread.
Any last minute purchases or questions?
Official start time will be tomorrow afternoon, around 1PM EDT.
If you have any questions, please post them here in Discussion rather than as ooc text in Gameplay. You'll get a faster response that way, as I'll be checking this thread more frequently than the Gameplay.

Before leaving town, Jak will buy 5 rations and 3 torches, all of which will be carried by his donkey. :)
A copy of Janira's backpack is on the campaign tab, including who is currently carrying each item.
Who has(n't) played/GMed The Confirmation before?

Played with Miriel on Core. Several times on standard.
Could everybody please start putting their rolls in spoilers, like Anastasia does?
Sorry for the GM slow down everyone. I had some people over this weekend to play boardgames, and it turned into a 22 hour party. Then I worked 15 hours on less than 2 hours of sleep.
I'm more or less recovered now, though. All games will get updated today, though some may not be until tonight.
Male Human NG Ranger / 2nd | HP:17/22 | AC:18 T:14 FF:14 | CMB:4 CMD:18 | F:+5 R:+7 W:+1 | Init:+6 | Per: +6
No worries...what boardgames did y'all play?
There were a lot of people, so probably tons of stuff. Personally, I played a bunch of Terra Mystica and Taluva, some Mystic Vale and Castles of Burgundy. I know there was a large game of some social deduction-Werewolf type game, but I stay away from those.

Good games...in our group we've been playing a good deal of Scythe, Terraforming Mars, and Terra Mystica...
Scythe was actually the first game of the party, but I sat out. As the host, I didn't want to get tied up in a long game before most of the guests had even arrived. I've heard a lot of good things about it though.
I don't think anybody in our group has Terraforming Mars though. I haven't even heard of it.
If you haven't already, please add all other crunch to the spoiler with your dice rolls. I would really like to see a thread without any game mechanics visible.

Got it. Only narrative in the open in the Gameplay thread. :)

Alright, posting rate update.
This weekend is Memorial Day weekend in the States, so my posting may be spotty to non-existent (family in town). Next week will be mostly normal, but then me and my little family are heading to Colorado for a long weekend next Friday (so I'll be out from between 6/2 until 6/6). I may have some ability post that weekend, but again—no guarantees.
Guys feel free to bot me sas necessary to keep this game moving. :)
I added a slide showing how to draw arrows. Could everybody please start using them to show their movement?
Since a lot of PbPers are Americans celebrating a holiday weekend (including myself), I'm going to treat Monday as part of the weekend--i.e. I'll only do one update, and expect one player post, during the three days. Regular posting will resume Tuesday.

None of the other tables are even in the last combat, but I can't find anything that I missed. Did we actually finish that fast?
Male Human DEAD
Looks like...
Some tables will just run faster than others!
One table ended up fighting Uori. Not only do they still have three encounters to go, but they haven't even wounded the gillman yet.
Male Human DEAD
Ouch. That has to hurt...
