I guess I'm confused why you're explaining the chart to brand new players at all. My explanation at the end of players' first game is usually just along the lines of, "You have some Downtime before the next adventure. You could use it to craft items or retrain things, but those are more for higher level. For now, you probably just want to earn income. Give me a Performance, Crafting, or Lore check." They tell me their result, and look at the table to figure out how much money they make, write it on their chronicle, and hand it to them. If they ask for more information, I'll tell them there's a chart in the CRB based on their level. The only people who ask follow up questions at that point are past the "overwhelmed new player" phase. Realistically, if you do the math for them, "You got a 17? Here's 4 sp," is no more or less confusing than, "You got a 17? Here's 10gp," like we had in PF1.

And yes, the numerical result for a critical success and a regular success are the same at levels one and two, because the regular success values for task level zero and task level one are the same.

Where are you getting this from? A level 0 task is 5cp per day, and a level 1 task is 2sp per day.

If you want to stick as close to Paizo's timeline as possible, Dawn of Flame started in 319 AG, since APs are assumed to start in the year they were published.

That's definitely still happening. Tonya ran two retired scenarios at MarsCon a week ago.

These are players that very much want a challenge. I was playing a game with some of them a few weeks back, and when one got killed (temporarily, thanks to BoL), he thanked the GM for not holding back. At the same time, I don't want something unfun along the lines of "I teleport you to the center of the Sun." Right now, I'm thinking of just bringing back the Elder Mantis from the previous encounter, since that seems like an appropriate way for Achaekek to respond to prayer, but if anyone has any more fun ideas, I'm open to them.

So, I've got a table this weekend that wants to do high tier hard mode. Any suggestions for what I should do with my miracle?

When I played this (as Fumbus) and applied the credit to my 3rd level character, my GM said the "official" answer was that Campaign Leadership didn't care about the one-time earning bonus potential.

How did you apply a lvl 5 chronicle to a lvl 3 character?

I thought the guide says it has to be to a lvl 1 or the level of the pregen you played?

Nope. Any level up to the level of the Pregen.
From the Online Guide wrote:

Apply Credit

You may apply a pregenerated character’s Chronicle sheet to one of your Pathfinder Society characters once your Pathfinder Society character reaches the level of the pregenerated character used to play through it. For example, if you played a 5th-level pregenerated character, you would apply the credit once your character reaches 5th level.

Apply the Chronicle sheets for eligible adventures in the order in which they were played. For each one, add the rewards earned (Experience Points, gold pieces, Fame, boons etc.) to your character, along with any negative effects that weren’t removed from the pregenerated character. This character is also now able to buy any items listed on that Chronicle sheet.
If you apply credit for multiple adventures at once, your Pathfinder Society character might advance multiple levels. The character’s level cannot exceed the tier range of any Chronicle sheets applied to them.
You can apply credit from a higher-tier adventure to a 1st-level Pathfinder Society character. When doing so, you gain only the gold appropriate to a 1st-level character. You do not benefit from any boons until your Pathfinder Society character reaches the minimum level listed on the Chronicle sheet, unless otherwise noted.

Where are you reading that it can be applied to any level?

The chronicle sheet for 1-00 scenario says it can be applied at any level 1-5. It's not the general rule, but it's right in this case.

1-00 Chronicle Sheet wrote:
Special: This adventure was designed for use with pregenerated characters. You can assign this Chronicle sheet to any character of levels 1–5 who does not already have a copy of this Chronicle sheet.

The final map doesn't seem right. It calls for specific tiles from the Forest Perils set, but doesn't use them. Instead, it appears as if the map uses tiles from the Forest Starter set.

I saw that, too. My guess is that the list of tiles is correct and the map image in the scenario is not.

Note that one in the bottom row has a funny little road connecting to nothing at either end; it makes a bit more sense if you have the Perils tile in that position.

What I found a little annoying is that a bunch of tiles were used for both maps, so I can't just sort them in the right order with the right orientation for both maps beforehand but will have to re-shuffle (and re-orient) a bunch of them from one map to the other.

Also, tile 25B is used in two different spots in that map, making it difficult to actually build.

Curious, that skittermander is juggling Pathfinder Adventure Card Game cards.

Oh, that's the art on the new purple volunteer shirts for conventions. That's actually a skittergoblin, a creature that, as far as I know, exists only on that t-shirt. That plus the ACG cards makes it represent all three campaigns under the Paizo OP umbrella.

The Anniversary Edition books were a completely separate crowdfunding endeavor than the computer game. In fact, it's still accepting late pledges on Game On Tabletop. But, except for a few exclusive addons, I believe the plan is for them to be available for sale next fall, when they're done.

In the ritual chamber, is it half damage for a successful save vs. the surge of shadow energy (2d6)?

It's described as a basic save, so half on success, no damage on critical success, double damage on crit failure.

Could anyone explain how the challenge points work with respect to party members of equal level? Let's say it's five first-level PCs. Are they all the lowest? All the highest? How's that work?

"Lowest" doesn't mean "lowest of all the players at the table" it means "lowest of all levels in tier." In a Tier 1-4, level 1 is the lowest level, level 2 is second lowest, etc. In a Tier 3-6, level 3 is lowest, level 4 is second lowest, etc. So, regardless of what other characters are at the table, a level 3 character is worth 4 challenge points in a Tier 1-4 scenario, but only worth 2 challenge points in a Tier 3-6 scenario. In your example, the level 1 characters are all lowest, because they're all in lowest level allowed by the tier.

But seriously, think of the burger stand you could have. Tarskburger where they never skimp on the meat.

There's a whole third party campaign setting devoted to this exact premise, called Salt in the Wounds or something similar.

Do seasons on Golorian even work the same way as on Earth? Just because we have a near circular orbit and a 23.5 degree axial tilt doesn't mean that they do. What if Golorian just has a more highly elliptical orbit? What if Golorian is in a Ptolemic Universe with its Sun orbiting Golorian? What if that orbit is irregular or elliptical?

Or what if Golorian is actually in a miracle-based universe as opposed to ours which is a law-based universe? Is Golorian a spherical world at all? Does Gravity work on Golorian in anything like the same way?

Actually, I think Paizo has answered most of those questions throughout the years.

Pathfinder: Distant Worlds makes it clear that Golarion orbits its Sun. There's a great video of Golarion spinning in this year's Paizocon preview banquet, where it appears to be more or less spherical. Distant Worlds doesn't explicitly say that Golarion's gravity is the same as Earth's, but Starfinder's CRB does.

I don't know if they ever go into the specifics of the seasons, but they definitely talk about them in the fiction like each year contains all 4 of them, in the order we expect.

Scott Wilhelm wrote:
I seem to recall falling damage is 1d6/10' you fall, where on Earth it's 32'/sec^2: not the same rules.

One is the amount of damage taken from a fall, the other is acceleration due to gravity. They're different formulas because they're formulas for different things.

Maznar continues his exploration of the final Scar Bay. A Tiger Shark jumps onto the deck of the ship. Maznar hits it with his Hatchet.

Combat 11: 1d10 + 3 + 1d6 + 1d4 ⇒ (1) + 3 + (5) + (3) = 12

It dies. Ew, that's a lot of mess on the deck of the ship. Maznar sends Zaptongue out to look for more things in the area. He returns with some Caltrops, which he tosses at Maznar.

Dexterity 4: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7

Maznar manages to safely catch the Caltrops, and puts them away for later. He offers a quick prayer to the Gods and continues on. He immediately gets attacked by a Shackles Pirate.

Combat 10: 1d10 + 3 + 1d6 + 1d4 ⇒ (8) + 3 + (4) + (2) = 17

Another enemy falls to Maznar's Hatchet. This time Maznar invokes a prayer to the elements as he continues on. He runs into Heartbreak Hinson.

Dex 4: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6
And Potion of Glibness to finish the job.

They become fast friends. Maznar sends Hinson out to see what else is out there. A few minutes later, Hinson comes running back, being chased by a Skeleton.

Combat 11: 1d10 + 3 + 1d6 + 1d4 ⇒ (5) + 3 + (2) + (2) = 12

Maznar makes quick work of the skeleton, despite the Hatchet not being the best tool for the job. It's tiring enough that Maznar decides to rest.

Scar Bay: 1d5 ⇒ 1
Good. Nowhere that matters. Drawing up.

Liberty's Edge

Maznar heads to the last Scar Bay, and heals Alain, who isn't at a closed location, unlike Salim. I bury Frigid Blast so Alain can heal 1d4.

Maznar sends Rocky, his Stone Weasel friend, out to go exploring. He picks a fight with a Crocodile, who Maznar hits with his Hatchet.

Combat 13: 1d10 + 3 + 1d6 + 1d4 ⇒ (2) + 3 + (3) + (4) = 12

And apparently he fails by 1. Luckily, he was wearing his Erutaki Coat, to reduce the damage.

With no more explores, I end here, having accomplished little.

Well, at least that goes nowhere that matters.

Maznar proceeds to the next Scar Bay, oddly alone. The moment he arrives, he runs into an Old Salt, and tries to make friends with him.

Diplomacy 7: 1d6 + 1d4 ⇒ (3) + (3) = 6

The Old Salt is not interested in joining Maznar on his journey. He, for some reason, invokes the name of Lamashtu and continues on. But, first, he remembers it's his shift for Lookout Duty.

Wisdom 7: 1d10 + 1 + 1d4 ⇒ (7) + 1 + (4) = 12

He sees an Emerald in the distance, but it's still a ways off in the distance. Examined the top card of the location deck from Lookout Duty. It's an Emerald of Dexterity. I'm out of explores, and ending my turn.

Scar Bay: 1d5 ⇒ 4

Never mind, a monster gets shuffled into the location. But, there's an emerald in there somewhere.

First, Maznar hacks at a Skelly with his hatchet.

Combat 10: 1d10 + 3 + 1d6 + 1d4 ⇒ (5) + 3 + (1) + (4) = 13

No problem. Now, Maznar joins Alain at the next Scar Bay. The first thing he notices is a Dwarf Caiman that reminds him of his good friend Chompy. He endeavors to make friends with it.

Survival 6: 1d10 + 3 + 1d4 ⇒ (1) + 3 + (2) = 6

The caiman seems reluctant, but eventually comes around. Maznar sends it off scouting. Instead, it makes a mess all over the deck. Time for some Swabbing.

Fortitude 7: 1d8 + 1 + 1d4 ⇒ (8) + 1 + (4) = 13

I discard Fireblade to search through my deck for an ally with the Animal trait. Maznar then sends Smaug out scouting. Smaug comes back with some sort of mysterious liquid.

Int 4: 1d6 + 1d4 ⇒ (4) + (4) = 8

Turns out it's a Potion of Glibness! That may come in handy later.

Drawing up and ending turn.
Random Scar Bay: 1d5 ⇒ 2

Nice! The second Scar Bay is closed. Take that, scenario rules.

Maznar decides to join Salim at the first of the Scar Bays, with his new found (and as yet unnamed) Fire Gecko on his shoulder. After a few minutes, a part of the ship in Maznar's blind spot bursts into flames. It certainly wasn't his gecko's fault, was it? Regardless, time to join the Bucket Brigade.

Fort 6: 1d8 + 1 + 1d4 ⇒ (3) + 1 + (2) = 6

Maznar managed to put that fire out precisely as quickly as he needed to. He mutters a prayer to the Green Faith that the next thing he comes across will be useful, and continues looking around. He stumbles upon a Master of Arms, and attempts to get him to join the crew.

Charisma 8: 1d6 + 1d4 ⇒ (3) + (2) = 5

The Master of Arms is unconvinced, and wanders away. Maznar declares the day a bust and returns below decks. Ending my turn here.

Random Scar Bay: 1d5 ⇒ 3

Sadly, Salim also has to make the check to defeat the Bucket Brigade.

Maznar continues to explore the Tower. He finds what appears to be a potion bottle on the ground.

Intelligence 7: 1d6 + 1d4 ⇒ (1) + (1) = 2

What could the liquid in the bottle be? Certainly not a Potion of Heroism! Maznar throws the liquid aside and continues on.

Ending my turn here because there are only a few cards left in locations and BoLamashtu may come in handy.

Maznar strides off to the old Tower, where he is immediately attacked by a zombie Smuggler. He grabs something of Maznar's before the fight can begin.

Display random card: 1d6 ⇒ 4 Blessing of Lamashtu

Specifically, the zombie grabbed the unholy symbol of Lamashtu that Maznar had been carrying around for some reason. He hacks at the Sumggler with his Hatchet.

Combat 9: 1d10 + 3 + 1d6 + 1d4 ⇒ (8) + 3 + (1) + (4) = 16

Maznar chops the zombie down and takes his unholy symbol back. He stops for a moment to catch his breath.

I could use BoLamashtu to explore again, but we're doing fine for time, and that's a really useful Blessing. Ending turn.

Maznar, weary from a day's adventuring, heads to the Festhall to relax. He settles down at a table, and notices that there's a small device sitting on it already.

Intelligence 5: 1d6 + 1d4 ⇒ (5) + (3) = 8

It looks like a Bomb that can be thrown at an enemy to emit Noxious vapors. He'll hang onto it for now. As he's sitting at the Festhall, feet up on the table, Chompy decides to join him. Maznar sends his new Snow Leopard friend up to the bar to get the next round. It instead comes back with a Blunderbuss.

Dex 8: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6

He was never really a fan of guns, so Maznar just tosses it aside as the Snow Leopard wanders off to do its own thing.

Maznar continues to explore the Sea Fort, and comes across some old Chain Mail. Can't fail a Fort 3 with d8+d4+1. He picks it up and puts it into his pack. He then mutters a quick prayer to the Gods in general and continues exploring.

He comes across a Dagger. Why is the place filled with abandoned equipment?
Dexterity 3: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6

Guess he'll stuff that into his pack, too. In the tradition of the Green Faith, he says a prayer to the Elements before continuing on.

Suddenly, a Saltwater Ogre strides around the corner and waves its club menacingly at Maznar. Maznar raises his Hatchet in return to try to strike down this monster.

Combat 14: 1d10 + 3 + 1d6 + 1d4 ⇒ (10) + 3 + (1) + (1) = 15

Working with his new leopard friend, Maznar quickly takes down the Ogre, and continues on his way. Free explore at the Sea Fort since I fought a monster.

Around the next corner, Maznar is set upon by some sort of undead Ruffian. That is, he looked like a rough sort even before the whole zombie thing started.

Combat 8: 1d10 + 3 + 1d6 + 1d4 ⇒ (3) + 3 + (4) + (4) = 14

Turning a corner, Maznar finds the entrance. He jams the Chain Mail he found into the locking mechanism, preventing it from being opened again.

Banish Chain Mail to close. Sea Fort is now closed.

I'll start at Sea Fort for now, because I have an armor to banish. Weirdly, I didn't start with an animal Ally. I did start with Charm Animal, though. And, conveniently, the very first card in the random ally stack is an animal. Anyway...

Maznar sails off to the Sea Fort. The first thing he does after he gets off the boat is make friends with one of the local Snow Leopards. Seems like a useful ally to have. He then meets one of the locals, a woman named Rosie Cusswell. He asks if she's interested in join the crew. The still as-yet unnamed leopard looks at her imploringly.

Charisma 6: 1d6 + 1d4 ⇒ (6) + (4) = 10

She agrees to come along for a bit, and Maznar sends her forward to further explore the area, buckling her swash all along the way. She returns a moment later being chased by a zombie Pirate Captain. Maznar draws his hatchet and rushes at the undead monstrosity.

Combat 13: 1d10 + 3 + 1d6 + 1d4 ⇒ (8) + 3 + (4) + (4) = 19

Maznar makes quick work of it, but not before it inflicts some damage to the ship.

Ending my turn here.

I'll roll for the 1 weapon, but I'm unlikely to get it.

Weapon 1: 1d1000 ⇒ 957

That is a very high number that would normally be quite good, but it's not 994. Luckily, I have a B Blessing of Lamashtu in UW that is also quite good.

Liberty's Edge

1d4 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

That wave wasn't as bad as the ones before it. Now, to sail to Shark Island, where are are probably a lot of sharks. Suddenly, an unreasonable number of Rats come Swarming from below decks. Maznar readies his Hatchet, and Chompy readies his chompers.

Combat 8: 1d10 + 3 + 1d6 + 1d4 ⇒ (2) + 3 + (6) + (4) = 15

Well, that's taken care of. Now to take a quick nap until the ship actually gets to Shark Island.

No real way to explore again, other than Chompy, which is ridiculous, so I'm ending my turn. 1d4 ⇒ 3 cards get washed to1d3 ⇒ 1 Cannibal Isle. That location is getting far too big, and I don't like what it does to my animals.

Maznar sails off toward more adventure, and promptly gets hit by a wave.
Wave: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1Survival: 1d10 + 3 + 1d4 ⇒ (7) + 3 + (1) = 11

Maznar steers quickly to minimize damage, and now finds himself having to wrench the wheel in the other direction to avoid a Shipwreck (which is extra hard in the Fringes). He mutters a prayer to Cayden Cailean, and remains thankful that the ever vigilant Chompy is at his side.

Fortitude 9: 3d8 + 1 + 1d4 ⇒ (3, 3, 1) + 1 + (2) = 10
That was closer than it should have been. Now, I add a plunder card to my hand. Plunder: 1d6 ⇒ 1. The top weapon of the random stack is Whip, apparently. And now to close, the top barrier from that pile, Pirate Hunting.

As Maznar expertly brings the ship about to prevent it from from being wrecked,a whip suddenly gets washed onto the deck of the ship, as though the storm was trying to give it to him. As he puzzles over this development, he ship comes sailing from around the Fringes. Maznar decides it's time for some Pirate Hunting.

Ship: 1d7 ⇒ 3

It's the scurvy pirate vessel, The Man's Promise. Luckily, in this storm, Maznar's knowledge of nature gives him an edge for the foolish pirates.

Survival 6: 1d10 + 3 + 1d4 ⇒ (5) + 3 + (2) = 10
Plunder: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Turns out, the only plunder is weapons. This one goes to the pile, though. Also, Fringes of the Eye is closed. No cards in location to wash to another location. Ending turn.

EDIT: There's a When Permanently Closed at Fringes, apparently.
Barriers: 1d4 ⇒ 3 Blessings: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Those seven cards are in the location deck now. 1-3 I randomly encounter a barrier, 4-7 it's a blessing.
1d7 ⇒ 6

It's a Blessing of Erastil. I actually can't fail a Divine 5 with Chompy's help.

OK, so there are 3 blessings and 3 barriers randomly shuffled together into this location. Then end of turn nonsense moves 1d4 ⇒ 4 of them to 1d4 ⇒ 2 Shark Island. Ending turn for real this time.

Structural Damage: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2
Survival 6: 1d10 + 3 + 1d4 ⇒ (6) + 3 + (3) = 12

The waves are rough in this storm, but with Maznar at the helm and Chompy there to help, the ship remains unscathed. He begins exploring the Fringes of the Eye, and finds a shrine dedicated to Cayden Cailean. He pauses for a moment and offers a brief prayer.

Divine 5: 1d10 + 4 + 1d4 ⇒ (5) + 4 + (4) = 13

Maznar feels blessed by the Lucky Drunk, though he offers a prayer to all the gods before continuing. Blessing of the Gods to explore again. He comes across a Quartermaster, and who he asks to join the crew of the Feathered Devil.

Charisma 8: 1d6 + 1d4 ⇒ (4) + (1) = 5

The Quartermaster has other business to attend to. Maznar offers another prayer to the gods and continues exploring the Fringes. And by exploring, he of course means he's going Pirate Hunting!

Random Ship: 1d7 ⇒ 5

Maznar sees the Sea Chanty off in the distance, and decides to hunt those pirates down.

Survival 6: 1d10 + 3 + 1d4 ⇒ (7) + 3 + (1) = 11

In taking down the ship, Maznar also found some plunder.

Plunder die: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Ending turn. Rolling for end of turn card moving shenanigans.
Number of cards: 1d4 ⇒ 1
Location: 1d6 ⇒ 1

The top card of Fringes is shuffled into Cannibal Isle.

As much as I want a fancier animals, and I do, the Power Feat gives me weapon proficiency, which means I can take the Hatchet, which lets me use my Survival to attack. Since there are four B weapons, I'm not sure why Alain is rolling for it, but whatever.

weapon B: 1d1000 ⇒ 62

Well, I have two cards in hand, and only 5 in my deck. I'm going to forgo my first exploration and bury my blessing to heal 1d4, then draw up and end my turn.

Healing: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Technically a net profit of one card in my deck. On the plus side, I drew up Chompy, so my perpetual d4 is back.

The final Grindylow. Throw all the things at it. Amulet, reveal Zaptongue for my power, recharge him for another d4 (and Electricity), and throw a blessing on top, because why not?

Combat 11: 2d8 + 3d4 ⇒ (2, 1) + (1, 1, 4) = 9

...So that's a thing that happened. I guess the villain flees to here, and we keep going. Sorry everyone. Bury Erutaki Coat to reduce damage. Now a Fort check, I guess.

Fortitude 6: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

...Of course.

Cards buried: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Sigh. Time to cast Cure on myself, I suppose.

Cure: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Divine 8: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

That may have been the single worst series of rolls I've ever made. Maznar may quit and decide the Shackles aren't for him.

Maznar sails off to the last of the Riptide Coves, alone except for his animal friends. He finds a Master-At-Arms hanging out of the beach, and say hello.

Charisma 8: 1d6 + 1d4 ⇒ (5) + (1) = 6
Stupid Riptide Cove making me roll twice.

At first, it seems like the Master-At-Arms cannot resist the charm of Zaptongue, but then he decides to go his own way after all. Saddened by this course of events, Maznar heads back below decks.

Didn't get any cards back, but I'm ready to temp close, and have blessings to help people.

Maznar strides into the Sea Caves, Chompy at his side and Zaptongue on his shoulder. He finds a lost Cabin Boy. Perhaps he needs to be helped out of the cave?

Charisma 4: 1d6 + 1d4 ⇒ (1) + (2) = 3
Wow. Just wow.

The Cabin Boy is apparently intimidated by so many reptiles, and flees deeper into the caves. What an odd lad. Chompy, meanwhile, wanders off down a side passage and returns with some Wooden Armor in his mouth.

Discard Dwarf Caiman to explore again, and encounter Wooden Armor. Can't fail a Fort 3. We're fine for time for now, so I'll save my blessing in case someone needs it. Discarding Wooden Armor and ending turn.

Maznar keeps watch at the front of the ship, Chompy at his side, as they begin sailing around the various Riptide Coves looking for their items that were stolen by those meddlesome grindylows. Seriously, who decided to name 5 different coves all the Riptide Cove? At least they're close to one another.

I explore the first of the Riptide Coves. It's a Riptide Grindylow. That was easy.

Suddenly, Maznar sees two of the foul creatures ahead in the water. He points a hand at one, and a blast of freezing air shoots out at the the first grindylow.

Combat 11: 1d10 + 4 + 3d4 ⇒ (2) + 4 + (1, 2, 4) = 13
Divine 8: 1d10 + 4 + 1d4 ⇒ (6) + 4 + (3) = 13

Having no more magic to call to bear at the other, Maznar leaps from the ship, Chompy just behind him, to engage the creature in the single combat. He draws upon the power of his amulet and mutters a quick prayer to gods as he attempts to deck the irritating thing.

Close check is to defeat another Grindylow.
Combat 11: 2d8 + 2d4 ⇒ (1, 5) + (3, 3) = 12

Maznar grabs two of his party's missing possessions, and hauls them back onto the boat. He's pretty sure the other grindylows are in a different cove.

The first Riptide Cove is closed, and the top two items of the stolen pile are returned to their owner.

Ending turn now.

Maznar begins patrolling the ship, looking for any other threats. Instead he finds some Leather Armor that must have fallen off of somebody, and picks it up.

I can't fail a Fort 2 to acquire the Leather Armor. I discard Dwarf Caiman to explore again.

Maznar then notices that Chompy, the last of his animal companions, appears to be trying to pull out a pike that got stuck into the side of the ship during all the fighting. Maznar heads over to assist.

Strength 10: 1d8 + 1d4 ⇒ (8) + (4) = 12
That was unlikely.

Maznar wrenches the pike free. Chompy saunters off, going about his own business. Luckily, Zaptongue remains to help everyone with future issues.

Discard Rage and end turn.

More skellies? Let's try to save that Frigid Blast for later.

Combat 10: 1d8 + 2d4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + (4, 1) + 1 = 13

Bam. Go home skeleton man.

Liberty's Edge

Sorry for the long delay on my turn, but I'm back now, and shouldn't have these problems again for a while. I think I owe a skelly fight still, and have a Fireblade.

Combat 10: 1d10 + 3 + 2d4 + 1d4 ⇒ (10) + 3 + (1, 2) + (3) = 19
Divine 8: 1d10 + 3 + 1d4 ⇒ (9) + 3 + (3) = 15

Now, onto my turn.

Maznar brushes off his shirt after his most recent skeleton fight, and looks up to see a Harpoon gun pointed directly at him. Luckily, he visited the Quartermaster this morning, and equipped Zaptongue with everything he needs to quickly disassemble a Harpoon Trap.

Yoon, I used your BotQuartermaster, but it's not combat, so it's a recharge.
Disable 6: 3d4 ⇒ (1, 3, 4) = 8

It worked! Maznar knew he sent Zaptongue to those rogue lessons for a reason. It's time to leave this cursed Cay and set sail for any other part of the sea.

Close check, since my location is empty. Using BotGods to copy Sivanah from the blessings discard pile.
Intelligence 6: 3d6 + 1d4 ⇒ (4, 1, 1) + (2) = 8
That was closer than it should have been. Tempest Cay is closed, and we all move to ...
Random open location: 1d4 ⇒ 4
Rocky Cliff! Hooray? Ending turn.

Something's causing all these skeletons to burst into Maznar's cabin, and it's probably nothing good. Muttering to himself, he climbs the stairs back onto the deck and surveys the scene. The first thing he notices is that Donahan looks a little worse for wear, so he walks over the horse, draws on the power of the Green Faith, and heals him. Alain may have gotten some healing as well.

Casting Cure on Alain at the start of my turn. You can roll your own d4+1.
Divine 8: 1d10 + 3 + 1d4 ⇒ (4) + 3 + (4) = 11

Yoon didn't seem interested in this goblin scroll, so Maznar performs a brief ritual to call another animal friend, destroying the scroll in the process. Soon, Zaptongue, his shock lizard friend arrives, ready to help.

I discard Vomit Twin to search through my deck for Shock Lizard, and then finally explore.

As he's finishing up, Maznar notices that among bones and other detritus from the battles, is what looks to be another scroll.

Explore to find Rage. Attempt to acquire.
Intelligence 6: 1d6 + 1d4 ⇒ (4) + (3) = 7

Hmm. Another Arcane scroll. It's odd that so many things are carrying these things around. Smaug seems tired, so perhaps it's time to send him back to the cabin for a bit, now that Zaptongue is here to help out. Wait, who's that over there? Is that a deckhand from the enemy ship we just encountered. Let's see if he can be helpful.

Discard Frilled Lizard to explore again. I encounter a Deckhand.
Charisma 6: 1d6 + 1d4 ⇒ (1) + (3) = 4

He wasn't very forthcoming. Oh well.

End turn and draw up.

First, deal with Elemental Treaty
Divine 6: 1d10 + 3 + 1d4 ⇒ (1) + 3 + (1) = 5
I ... alright. This bodes well for the rest of this out of turn stuff.

Maznar looks up from the Erutaki Coat he's patching, and notices a crab slip in under the door. Then two. Then four. This is ridiculous. He just starts stomping them all.

Combat 8: 1d8 + 2d4 ⇒ (1) + (3, 4) = 8
Combat 8: 1d8 + 2d4 ⇒ (4) + (4, 3) = 11

That'll teach those crabs. As he begins to sit back down, another skeleton bursts into the room. "Is this whole Tapestry filled with undead?" Learning his lesson from last time, he conjures a blade of fire and smites the stupid thing.

Combat 10: 1d10 + 3 + 3d4 ⇒ (6) + 3 + (2, 2, 1) = 14
Divine 8: 1d10 + 3 + 1d4 ⇒ (10) + 3 + (4) = 17

Combats dealt with. Hand update:

A skeleton bursts into Maznar's cabin. Without thinking, Maznar calls on the power of his amulet, and punches the Skeleton in the face, while Smaug bites at the skeleton's feet.

I reveal Amulet of Mighty Fists and Frilled Lizard so I can save my spell for my turn.
Combat 10: 1d8 + 2d4 ⇒ (3) + (2, 3) = 8

He takes the skeleton down, but not before it takes a bite out of his arm.

Combat Damage: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

The skeleton bites a big hole into Maznar's coat, but doesn't manage to pierce his flesh. Maznar mutters under his breath as he sits down to begin patching his coat.

I recharge Erutaki Coat to reduce the damage by 1, to 0. Hand update:

It's ok everyone, I have a deck, and can finally take my turn. I'll join everyone at the Fog Bank, as is tradition. Starting hand:

Instead of the first exploration of your turn, you may bury a card that has the Divine trait to choose a character at your location and shuffle 1d4 (□+1) random cards from her discard pile into her deck.

You may discard a spell to search your deck (□ or your discard pile) for an ally that has the Animal trait and put it in your hand.

Especially relevant in this scenario, where we are always together, characters at my location can add 1d4 to their checks as long as I have an animal to reveal, like my lizard friend. That may have changed the outcome of the previous two turns, but I'll leave that up to them if they want to retcon. Anyway,

Maznar steps up from below deck, where his communion with nature was interrupted by all this commotion on the deck. Seeing all the fog, he mutters a quick prayer to Green Faith to protect the ship from the elements.

Elemental Treaty is now displayed next to the Fog Bank.

Before he can see why everyone else is shouting so much, he remembers that it's his shift for lookout duty, so he heads up to the crow's nest, where Smaug, his faithful frilled lizard, is already lounging on the rail.

First explore is Lookout Duty.
Wisdom 6: 1d10 + 1d4 ⇒ (7) + (1) = 8
Success! I examine the top card of the location deck, it's Vomit Twin, of all things.

Maznar leans against the railing and squints into the fog, hoping in vain to see anything. After a few moments, he sees what looks like the skeletal remains of a goblin clutching some driftwood. It looks like there's a piece of paper of some kind in the goblin's hand. Some sort of scroll, perhaps? It merits investigation. He clambers down to take a look, and pulls the scroll from the dead goblin's grasp. Is this a spell written by a goblin? That is some truly grotesque imagery.

BoGF to explore and encounter Vomit Twin
Fortitude 6: 1d8 + 1 + 1d4 ⇒ (2) + 1 + (4) = 7 Success!

Resisting the urge to throw the disgusting paper into the sea, Maznar gets through it, and concludes that it might be a useful spell. It requires an understanding of arcane magic, though. He'll show it to Yoon later, see if she's interested in it. For now, though, he needs a drink after reading that. He heads back below deck.

Yoon, if you want Vomit Twin, I can give it to you next turn, if not, I'll discard it to summon another animal from my deck. Ending my turn here.

Generally speaking, we tend to assume Organized Play draws a more dedicated fanbase that will try to optimize their characters and want more of a challenge.

I wasn't aware of that assumption, and it's the exact opposite of my experience. I use Organized Play as a way to draw in new players. I run it on the same day that a local store runs AL, and occasionally snipe waitlisted players that end up not getting seated. I also sometimes get PFS RPG players that want to play to check boxes on their Faction Journal Cards, two of which had PACG goals this past year.

Conversely, I only play the box APs with my friends who already know how to play the game, many of whom were introduced to the game via Organized Play.
