Nah..it's fine. I would have preferred everyone who had played it already at the same table so nobody could accidentally spoil something and I could move through the scenario at a slightly faster pace but the other table started already, so switching people now would slow things down too much to make it worth it.
Still waiting for at least one more person to show up..if they haven't checked in by tomorrow I'll either get some new people in or give you guys a pregen so you don't have to wait to long.
@Chima,
FYI you are missing a 1st level spell known, you get CLW for free.

Your first post is excellent. Nice introduction and description of yourself. I didn't go into such detail to describe Seijiro, as I gave a better description earlier AND there is a good picture of him linked to his profile. But you did an excellent job of describing your character and also giving a nice lead-in for replies.
Thanks for 2 chance will post asap

My first post is up. I'm going to be asking questions and asking for pointers until I get a little better hang of things.
Please let me know how my first post went and what you think I could improve on based on what you saw.
Looks good, the only thing you might want to change in the future..I think the blue line you used was for internal thoughts/in character thinking? You might want to use [i] [/ i] for that and leave [ooc] [/ ooc] for out of game comments.

For those new to pbp (or at least new to pbp with me as GM)
I will generally post once a day (more if I have time) if you haven't posted in roughly a 24 hour period I will skip your turn/NPC you in so we keep the pace of the game going.
I will roll initiative for everyone (and sometimes some other dice rolls on a case by case basis, like perception to determine surprise)
Since it is possible for you to delay until some other player has done something I'm fine with you taking turns in the order in which you post. If you don't want to do something until something else happens mention in in your post and we'll fit it in when it happens. If you ready an attack (or expect an attack of opportunity to happen, please roll your own dice for to hit and damage already..they might get used, but if it does come up we don't have to wait for you to respond..or I don't have to roll for it..which means you can't blame me when you miss ;)
For example a turn might go something like this
init
Player A, B
enemy 1
Player c
enemy 2
Bold is up
Player A wants to have flanking, so he delays
A will move next to enemy 1 as soon as he flanking and stick his dagger into 1's back [dice=To hit 1] [dice=damage vs 1]
Player B will do something (like cast a spell)
Enemy 1 will do something
Player C will then move up to an enemy and attack it..after which Player A's turn triggers
I'll take enemy's 2 turn
If something messes up the flow (like enemy 1 knocking player A down) we'll just have to flexible and adjust..I'll try to use my best guess if you haven't altered your own action by the time I post again.
I'll use googledoc maps for combat, you can move your own character around, but please be careful to not move the map itself since it will mess stuff up.
If you have any questions feel free to ask.

It would help if you include a bit more character information (back ground you can do on the fly..as that's more for you as a reminder on how you want to roleplay him then for anyone else)
But if you could include a status bar as the other players have (where your race/level information is located now) that would be helpful.
Also a list of equipment would be nice (since all it says now is AC/touch 16(14) I have to assume you are wearing leather armor.
And stuff like your CMB,flatfooted AC (unless you have that listed behind your CMD?), traits, feats.
A breakdown of where your bonuses are coming from would also be real nice. I can piece most of together..but when you start to level up it will be more difficult.
For example:
Perception (1 rank, trained (+3), racial +2, wisdom +2) ..you have a +9 listed for perception..with my bonuses you only get a +8..so that means you are getting a +1 from somewhere I don't know about..I guess a trait?
Actually...most of your skills seem to be off from what I'd expect them to be
When will you start? Will have char ready in about 5 hours, have to go to a birthday 1

To be born. It should be the start of a new life, hope and …… My birth was nothing like that, is was cut/pulled from my mother’s womb to be sacrificed to some dark entity by the barbarians who had captured my mother from another tribe.
The only thing that stopped them was my odd appearance, curtesy of my father who had been with my mother nine months prior and had left her after a week.
I looked for a better word sacred to them so they saved my life.
This is my beginning.
The next 15 years I would live amongst these nomadic people, it was a hard physical life but I never really felt that I belonged.
In these years my appearance had changed even more, my bald head had 2 small stomps, my skin had a red glow to it and my tail had grown equally to my height.
I was quickly becoming 1 of the finest hunters in the tribe with a feel for stalking my prey, the days away from the tribe, the chase of the prey, that’s what I lived for.
But all this had a downside, the son of the current chief saw me as a danger to his soon to be throne and decided to have me eliminated.
He and his 3 friends waited for me on the next hunting trip and ambushed me. I was quickly defeated and was beaten to an inch of my death. I would have died if not for the fact that a big rhino wandered into the open crossing. He charged the group seeing them as trespassers and chased them away. In the confusion in could escape.
I nurtured myself back to help in the wilderness and decided to take revenge for my wrongdoing. In the months that followed I stalked my new prey, the men who had attacked me and after six months I killed all 4 of them.
I decided to leave and start over fresh.

Webb, if Mosi is a new character, you need to be aware that tieflings are no longer legal for PFS play. If he did not already have at least 1 xp by aug 14th, you need to change his race (aasimars and tieflings are not legal unless grandfathered in before that date). Hope I'm not the bearer of bad news, but just thought you should know.
Guys I'm an X-Venture Captain so I like to help new players better understand the rules. If this becomes unnecessary or unwelcome let me know, either with a post or a PM, I promise I will not take offence.
Looks like you rolled a 20 on your attack roll, its the number in the (). So you get to roll to confirm, another attack roll with the same modifiers not that it matters since you took the dog out anyway. Also since you have Point Blank shot you get +1 to your attack rolls too not just damage, since the dogs are within 30ft. Looking at your character sheet I see you have a Comp longbow, I'm guessing its a +2 strength rating since your adding your Str to the damage. If so you might want to ad that to the description to prevent confusion.

I for one want to thank you for double checking things like that. Depending on when I check for updates it's sometimes very early or very late for me and I over look things as well ..such as that they both rolled a natural 20 without rolling to see if they confirm a treat, which is something I should have caught. I just looked at the end result this time and then I sort of stopped thinking.
@ Markas,
No Worries I did kind of throw a lot out there. Sorry about the confusion. So far you have been doing great.
One of the things you can do in and out of combat is try and help someone else do something, which is called Aid Another. Most of the time you'll see this used to help someone with:
1. A Skill Check
2. Ability check (like opening the door)
3. Attack roll
4. AC vs. and attack
Aiding in this way usually takes a standard action and requires you to make the same check but you only have to get a total of 10 or better. So for opening the door you aided me and while the DC of opening the door is higher than 20 you only needed to get a 10 or higher to help. If you succeed with the aid the person you're helping gets a +2 on their check.
As far as taking 10 to auto aid:
Since you have a +3 modifier on your strength check and we were not in combat you can focus on the task and take 10 or just assume you rolled an 10 on a d20. This gave you a 13 which is enough to aid and give me a +2 on the check.
Hope this clears it up though but I totally understand if it doesn't or makes it worse since it is a big wall of text.
Thanks that cleared it up for me. I appreciate it.
So, do we want to keep the band together for the Confirmation or First Steps 1?
Revvy any chance you would want to GM us again? I'd be willing to GM something for you in exchange.
Me too, been fun so far

In agreement with everyone else. If we can would love to continue on.
For some reason Wayfinder won't let me post with Markas since he's my first character.

I wasn't planning on it, but I do still have the maps and tokes I used for the Confirmation I ran a couple of months ago. So I could run that one for you guys. I prefer to finish it before the Pbp Gameday starts..but since that's like 5 weeks from now that should be do able.
Seeing how I don't expect this adventure to take more then a couple of days, if you guys could roll dayjob checks and make sure I can find your PFS number somewhere (and let me know if you are on normal or slow xp progression) I can get started with Chronicles when I have a few spare minutes.

My PFS number is 41676-1. To be totally honest, I'm not sure what my day job is and how those rules work. What I need to know is can my day job be anything? I'm a ranger and I don't see how "baker" fits into my character idea. I want to pick something like "scout," but I'm not sure that I can or that a job like that is listed anywhere. Does that make sense?
@ Revvy,
Thanks! Let me know if I can run something for you. I'm also willing to run First Steps 1 for everyone after The Confirmation.

@ Daniloth,
Day jobs are a way of earning a little money between scenarios (I mean a Little money, your looking at 5-20 gold for a while). By Default you can only roll a day job if you have 1 or more ranks in Craft, Profession, or Perform. It doesn't look like you have any of those so you don't have to worry about it. As you gain Fame in the Society you can spend Prestige (whole other can of worms) to join a hunter's lodge so you can use Survival to make money.

@Xenocide..I assume that 0 xp, 4 pp, 1.89 gp is your current start of each? Which seems ..odd to me. 0 xp with 4 prestige is pretty difficult to accomplice.
It seems I'm missing the info from Chimba (whom I haven't heard from in about 2 weeks,..so I'll assume he's dropped out) and Mosi
I'll start sending out Chronicles to the people who's reporting info I have right now
