Welcome and thanks for signing up for this run of 9-11 The Jarlsblood Witch Saga, folks!
First off, I'd like to introduce myself a bit to those of you who haven't played with me before. I'm GM Mjolbeard. I've been playing PFS for a little over 2 years now, much of which has included PBP as a venue. I highly value the game, and love to do as much as I can to throw in a lot of role-play with my roll-play, as the saying goes. With that in mind, here are a few expectations that I will hold for myself as well as my players in this game:
1) Please try to maintain a posting rate of 1+ post/weekday. Weekends are almost always busier for me than weekdays in one way or another, so I may or may not post during that timeframe. I'd accept the same from you. Within those posting rates, I'd love to see as much role-play from each of you as you feel comfortable with. Particularly good role-play can potentially earn things like circumstance bonuses on various rolls.
2) Please list important information about your character in the Classes/Levels section of your stat block. Please also have your full character sheet available in your character's profile. If you're at all unsure what I'm talking about, feel free to take a look at my PFS characters for some examples.
3) I'll roll initiative for combats and perception for potential surprise situations. I'll also provide information for knowledge checks in spoilers with the DCs listed. Please refrain from reading the spoilers unless you make the DC with the appropriate skill check.
That's it for the most part. As far as start date goes, this game will take place as part of Session 1 for PbP Gameday VII, so we'll get started right away on August 13. For now, please provide the requested info for your character using the template below. You can also dot in on the gameplay thread with your character of choice.

With all that out of the way, all that remains is for me to say thanks again for joining me, and happy gaming!
i am interested in a spot. not sure what to bring or what will be available when this starts.
I have a couple of options depending on the tier.
TriShadow, we'll be running low tier, so you can start planning accordingly for that. Welcome aboard!
Are there still spots available or is there a signup list elsewhere? I have a couple PCs in range if there is room.
You'll make number 6 for us, Aarvid! Welcome!
With that, RECRUITMENT IS NOW CLOSED!
Our table will consist of the following:
Luurg - Half orc alchemist
Sheela - Aasimar sorcerer
GM Qwerty - character TBD
TriShadow - character TBD
Princess Tiffany - Grippli druid
GM Aarvid - character TBD
Obviously, we still have a little while before we'll begin, but start thinking about what characters you might want to play now. I'll try to provide a little guidance on what might be helpful once I get the scenario in hand.
Seems like we should have some great songs and/or stories going around!
It appears I've missed this one, but I wanted to put myself on a waitlist on the off chance a spot opens up. I have a Level 8 Inquisitor that I would enjoy bringing to this scenario. Happy to send you any more info you might need, should the opportunity come up. Thanks and sorry for popping in too late!
Sorry for this correction - Turns out my Inquisitor is level 9.
Hiya Papasteve! Sure thing, I'll add you to the waitlist.
Thanks! Much appreciated!
Just wanted to let you know that another of the games I was on a waitlist for had a drop, so this character is now committed. Thanks for keeping me on the list, I appreciate it! If you decide to run this scenario again in the future I would definitely be interested in joining, assuming I have a character for it. Good luck and have fun!

I want to give you a heads up. Sheela is currently in the final battle of the scenario she needs to hit level 5. So I expect her to be late. I don't know if you can drop her into the middle of the scenario or not, but she will be late.
Otherwise I can sign up with my level 8 Magus if you need to strictly start with everyone when Gameday starts.
If everyone else is alright with it, I wouldn't mind giving you both a few extra days to finish up your scenarios. I could use the time to finish getting things prepped for this scenario anyway. This week has been madness, so a little extra time would be fine by me.
Hey guys! Sorry for the lack of posts the last couple days. I've had a bit of a mental block going, but I'm gonna kick it out and get you a post by this evening (in the next 7-8 hours for anybody in non-North/South American timezones).
Please let me know if you need me to pick up the pace for any reason, and I will do my best to accomodate. Thanks for playing!
Hey folks, just wanted to give you a heads up that I'll be posting a bit less today and tomorrow, and probably won't be able to post at all over the weekend as I'll be moving.
Thanks!
Oh boy. Sorry guys. My posting time has taken a major major hit recently (due to a combination of the move and running into my dreaded foe in the SFS special - GMing starship combat), and that's really messed up our timeline here.
We still have quite a bit of this scenario left over. There's at least three combat encounters left after the investigation. I think we can wrap up the investigation here, though there is more information you could potentially get. You've already obtained the necessary information to move on to the next area, but the additional info helps flesh out the story and can contribute to the secondary success condition. You've done enough to gain one piece of the secondary success, so I'll move us along to the next section in my next post.
Sorry again for all the delays. My SFS group is done with the starship fight now, so I should be able to move us along more swiftly again. Let me know if you think you need to drop out or anything, though. I completely understand the need to keep up with the GameDay schedule, and I've done a poor job of that for this group.
I don't think we'll get done before the 15th, unfortunately. We've still got some combats coming up, at least one of which will be pretty major, especially given the curse on Luurg and Sheela.
Sorry for being the wrench in your cogs here, folks. I'm trying to pick up the pace as much as possible, but this is a pretty packed scenario.
For each negative level a creature has, it takes a cumulative –1 penalty on all ability checks, attack rolls, combat maneuver checks, Combat Maneuver Defense, saving throws, and skill checks. In addition, the creature reduces its current and total hit points by 5 for each negative level it possesses. The creature is also treated as one level lower for the purpose of level-dependent variables (such as spellcasting) for each negative level possessed. Spellcasters do not lose any prepared spells or slots as a result of negative levels. If a creature’s negative levels equal or exceed its total Hit Dice, it dies. A creature with temporary negative levels receives a new saving throw to remove the negative level each day. The DC of this save is the same as the effect that caused the negative levels.
And that's it, folks! You all survived and restored the Trolltooth name; well done!
I plan to have chronicles to you ASAP, but to do that, I need you to provide the information below:

Also, whether you recall or not, this game is in fact part of the PFS GameDay VII, which means we all get to roll for boons! Roll a d20. On a 19 or a 20, you're a winner! To figure out what boon you win, roll a d4.
Good luck to you all!

Hi GM, would I be able to accomplish this faction goal?
Recruit a named NPC ambassador, aristocrat, noble, or similar figure to cooperate with the faction with a successful Diplomacy or Knowledge (nobility) check (DC = 14 + your character level ).
I suspect I could convince the mayor, or the council if they are named. Olisarra would be a stretch for multiple reasons, but hey, she's named!
Sheela, you could definitely check off that goal, and can recruit the patriarch of either major family in the town: Magorn and Nessa Coalbraid or Greul Trolltooth.
