Agreed with all of the above. I'm getting the feeling that this player group is generally playing off each other fairly well. Understanding that characters take time to contextualize and develop, I would only worry if somebody felt like their character wasn't playing well off of the others. I felt like this player group was doing decently in this regard, but if anybody feels otherwise about their character please say so.

Ya I agree word choice is particularly important when you want to really set the scene or establish your/a character's personality or mannerisms. It usually takes me a few adventures to figure out someone's persona, unless they were created with a persona in mind vs a particular build. I like to start with a few mannerisms or quirks and work from there.
Ironshanks has changed a bit here and there, but mostly is stereotypical, which I thought somewhat fitting for a core dwarven fighter. Being able to interact with the other players' characters really helps bring a group and a game together.

I will be gone to a live event in Columbia, Missouri (PFS Smackdown) for the rest of the day and won't be back until late tonight. Feel free to bot me as needed.

Have fun in the steel cage match! And what do you use for walk out music?

Janira Gavix, Pathfinder wrote:
"Sure it might have been stupid to run through a camp full of minotaurs and then through a aerie full of harpies to throw them off, but did Kala, Daughter of Krokum care that it was sort of dumb that she named her wolverine 'Stinky' when really it's obviously a skunk, of possibly a musk ox's name? No, she went ahead and did it! Because that is the Pathfinder way!" Janira's distant, breathless, high-pitched, and slightly panicky voice echoes down the tunnel. The proclamation has a sort of bolstering effect on the party.
Inspire Courage +1 morale bonus on saving throws against charm and fear effects and a +1 competence bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls.
It is followed by a loud, bestial bellow, that has nearly the opposite effect.
@World's Most Interesting GM: Ha! I see what you did there. Yeah, Kala's not very imaginative. If Stinky ever dies, she'll name his replacement Smelly (then Stupid, then Stupid again, then Rat, then Creatures, if she needs that many replacements).

No, I'm just always really busy near the end of the week and this week for the first time in a while I didn't get the post up. Sorry about that.

Yay we live! Any idea on much more? I've committed Ironshanks to a game that is currently waiting on him, if we're completed that is.
My vague plan at the beginning was to finish no later than a week from today (July 1 ~ 8 weeks).
If you've played the Confirmation before (and yes, I know most or all of you have, but still--spoilers):
Basically, we have the other passage to explore and the final reports to give. If Ironshanks wants to "guard the exit" and give his report now (in a spoiler) I can kick him out the door with a chronicle by tomorrow.

GM:
If that wouldn't be a pain I'd love it. I must have underestimated how much time we had left and I hate holding a group up.
After leading his group of neophyte agents through the gillman caves, rescuing his soon to be jellied Halfling sorceror, and then assisting in the rescue of Janira herself, Ironshanks marches back with the others at the front of the line proudly. "They searched high n low they did. We made our way through the caves, following direct orders from Janira, as she lead off the vicious minotaur." He pauses to estimate its considerable height and width.
"We crossed a pit of watery death thanks to the leaping of some of the kids in the group and a heavy plank. We came across some old carvings in the stone walls and notes they were taken. Yangrit has a steady hand she does." He looks to her and nods approvingly.
"We met with an old gillman hippy type at a sacred pool he said, with a small version of our great city here. Full of vermin and frogs it was. After some swimmin' and some 'splorin' was done, we continued on to help investigate some 'bad neighbors'. A pile of stinkin' zombies we found, they fell quick to axe and fist. Stinkin' necromancer's work we found." He spits on the floor with disdain.
"We continued on in a rush, hearin' Janira's singin' coming down through the tight tunnels. Telos he ran on ahead, being the smallest with the most room to move, ran straight into a wall o jelly, going limp like an overcooked noodle. I reached in and plucked 'im out bafore the jelly flopped on me." He makes a loud SLURP sound and combs some dried remnants from his beard still.
"I carried the Lad out the back of the ooze while the others took it down with slings, arrows, and slaps. Onward we ran to the surface n found Janira n that damned Minotaur sweatin' like pigs in the summer heat."

Forgo your Downtime to finalize a report to the Pathfinder Society. Doing so requires a successful DC 15 Intelligence, Wisdom, or Profession (scribe) check.

Congratulations, you have made it to the end of your confirmation. If you are in the States here's hoping you are out celebrating the holiday with friends and family. Have a safe one!

Great run everyone. A special thanks to the GM for the extra effort on a frequently sleep walked game.
Thanks for the praise. That's actually the reason I run games that way. To often all the RP revolves around a PC's AC, the amount of damage they can inflict, and the group's door drill--all important stuff to be sure, but it is not that stuff that actually makes table-top gaming (what I think is) a superior experience to most computer games that try to emulate the format.
Leveling up and getting treasure is fun and all but the path taken is ultimately what is most memorable.
I'll have all the altered chronicles up this weekend--just got to get back to my computer. If anyone needs anything else let me know.
