Hey everyone,
Just wanted to point out that I'm running a Core table of 7-01 Between the Lines starting on 9/19. It should finish before we start this game, though I'd slightly prefer high tier characters.

Kailun should be all updated to his 2nd level version. I'd really appreciate a second pair of eyes to make sure I didn't miss anything before we get started!
The good thing about Core... its alot easier to look this sort of thing over =)
At first glance, it looks good to me, Kailun...
Things of note:
1) you seem to be missing a language.
You cannot take Ancient Osirion as one of your bonus starting languages. But you do have a rank in linguistics... so assume that was from there, in which case, you're missing a language for your bonus starting lingos.
ie: you get elvish, common, +5 (bonus languages for your int), +1 for a single rank in linguistics (ancient osirion). So you should have 8 total.
2) the 'wizards kit' is not core equipment. You have to buy things individually =)

Thanks, man! Nice catches!

You haven't played him at second level yet, so you can still rebuild him into something completely different.
So the following have checked in:
I'm impressed we didn't lose anybody. Go team!
We don't start until the special kicks off on the 5th, so you still have a little time to tweak your characters or do a bit of shopping (you may or may not be able to make purchases once the scenario starts). You can also introduce yourselves and chit chat a bit in the gameplay thread if you wish. You're basically hanging out in the Grand Lodge waiting for the Grand Convocation to start.

After reading up on the timeline I wanted to remind everyone that we are on a pretty tight schedule. We might need to try to post twice a day or more to keep up with the required timeline. Certainly we cannot stand a multi day round of combat. I'll do my best to never be the holdup and ask that everyone do likewise.

Tyranius is active on the forums, so I'd expect him to post when he's available. Penda hasn't been active since Friday, so I've sent a 12 hour warning. If she hasn't acted by then I'll see if it isn't too late for a replacement player. If nobody objects, I'll advance combat 12 hours (or so) after each of my posts, botting as necessary, if we're still waiting on people by then.

Ok. I would have think it will better to take all the book who were interesting and than read them when we are secure. But if it is how this section is done. ok.

Wow, this encounter is really all fubar.
The NPC inits split everyone up, so it all gets delayed.
We've managed to spread out our damage as much as humanly possible so as not to actually take down any of them.
Not to mention they have really high AC's so actually hitting them's an issue.
The guy once again gets the right key almost immediately.
The fire mechanic is just crazy (basically starting with 4 and doubling in size every turn)
And no one is rolling particularly well to put any of it out.
Two GM announcements and we've not even managed this one yet =)
At least we have the notes, I suppose.
With the amount of time left, maybe we will get to see if an area can be green.

Cool, thanks. I might have to make a different core character for the other game then. No worries (I LOVE making new characters).
As for the initiative problem, there's a great solution I use for non-PFS forum games, which you might be able to sneak into yours. Basically, you pick one representative from each team (players and monsters, usually) to roll initiative for the whole team, then everyone else can attempt to aid another. It really helps avoid situations like we currently have, which make combat in forum games drag on for weeks at a time.

I almost never use batch initiatives except when there's an absurd number of moving parts in an encounter (such as a season 0 which in tier 4-5 throws 26 creatures at the party, none higher than CR 1/2), and even then I ask for an OK from players first. In this particular case I don't think it would have been too disruptive to do it your way, but in other circumstances I think it can be unfairly deadly. Having sneak attackers acting on a shared initiative count could be brutal, and in our previous encounter could have meant 4d6 of negative energy damage to the party before anyone had a chance to act.
As a table we've been great about keeping things moving. This is generally my highest priority table to update, and you've all been great about frequent posting. We'll survive an awkward initiative roll.
As for time, this is the last encounter available to us in this act (one issue I have with this scenario is that it's possible, especially at low tier, to run out of content and be stuck waiting for the group to catch up), so one way or another we'll be here until Jesse's next update.

Room 8 became labeled 8A on the outside when Jayori locked the door. With the newly discovered secret door open, you and Tyranius (based on his map placement, but by description he seems to be in front of the door to 8. can actually see the three in the room. You (and only you by map positions) can actually see everyone at this point.
This part is intentionally confusing.

Fact 1: Yâble and tyranus are in an another instance of the place where 8a (The good one) is here but there not secret passage to 7.
fact 2: the other are in another instance (the orignal) Where the 8 but a secret passage to 7.
Fact 3 Locking the door will expulse those outside to another instance. We do not know if there more than two.
So what we need to do is what happen If I lock a door. or if We unlock 8 while me and Tyranus is inside.
Our objective is that all have of us shifted to Yable and Tyranus instance.
I thing we will need teamwork for this.
