PFS PBP, First Steps Part III, Tier 1
Stats: GMed 8 PFS PBPs; Played 18 PFS PBPs
Hello! I saw the recruitment thread you all were apart of, and that you had been left behind. Frankly, I liked some of your character concepts, so I thought I would jump in and fill the gap. Since parts II and III are getting retired in August, we will be starting with part III.
Please check in here and finalize your characters. I will be looking over characters this week and starting after that.

Interessssting...
Just completed Rescue at Azlant Ridge part 1 this weekend. (That is a hard one for new PC's.) So I have some cash to buy some MW armor if we have time to buy stuff. I will also change the rather ineffectual spells I had picked.

Tortella is ready, I believe.

Selter, you can purchase gear at the end of the last sesstion, or the begining of this one. I don't know what you are aiming for as far as Armor goes, but if you recieved 2 PP from the last session, then you could spend that on a Mwk Dragonhide Breastplate. It's something to consider.
Also, and this goes for everyone, while you are in this PBP you cannot have you character sit at an in-person table. Your character is bound to this adventure until we are done. If this is your only character and you want to also play locally, make a second character. :)

Hmm... For some reason I thought it was too much to buy with prestige points. Well my first 2 are still already spent on the CLW wand. Yes, I think I will plan on the next 2 going for a MWK dragon hide breast plate. So I won't buy armor at this time. I will probably get a mwk darkwood shield instead. But still thinking about that.
Yes, I have a couple other characters to use for in-person games.

Hmm, I invited six, I wonder if the other two will show up.
Please PM me your character's PFS number, how many XP he currently has, and an email address where I can sent your chronicle.
Hey! Thanks for the invite. Count me in.
I had just finished writing up my PC when it was eaten by the boards (serves me right for not drafting it in word first).
However, it looks like a sorcerer might not be the best fit for the rest of the group. I'll adapt my concept and get them up in the next 24 hours. Then, I'll be good to go.

Ok, bought the shield, an extra potion of CLW, and changed my spells. Selter's good to go.

Well, characters look well made.
Gameplay thread is now open.
Daniel, please finish your character soon.

GM Brute Squad: since Sithiss (constrictor snake animal companion) does not speak, I had not intended to create an alias for it. If you would rather I do so, just let me know.
I am a melee build. Since I can't yet shape change I'm not as good at it as a martial class. But with my snake, we can hold our own. The only significant skills I have so far are handle animal, knowledge nature, and perception.
Looks like Marla's edilon is intended to be melee combatant with some support casting from her. I haven't tried the class yet, but they look like fun.
Sierra has a nice paladin archer build. After a few levels, I've seen those devastate combats.
Tortella looks to be going for caster with back-up melee. That correct? If so be careful. You're fairly squishy at low level. You going to go Dragon Disciple?
Don't know what Daniel is bringing.
We may have difficulty with any traps or locks and just have to brute force them.
Everyone but me seems to have a high cha, so hopefully that will handle most of the inter-personal skill checks at this level.
Female Dwarf Summoner 4 HP 43/43
Precisely. The Eidolon is a (somewhat fragile) bruiser. Marla will be supporting it and using her own HP to help keep it up, buffing as necessary, and then using Summons as backup. We may be a bit short on healing though.
Female Human (Garundi) Fighter (Lorewarden) 1
Well, I've gone for a melee fighter with a big pile of knowledge skills. We'll see how it goes.
I think we just better hope we're not going anywhere with too many deathtraps...
Nagaji, Naga Aspirant 10, HP 83, AC:23, FF:21, Th:12, F+13/R+9/W+14(+2mind-affecting&poison), Perc+18, Init+2
Well, we are probably a bit gear lite on what is expected. Since this is part 3 and the scenario expects you to have already done 1 and 2. It looks like for everyone but me, this is the first mission for the PC and it is only my second. So we will have to play smarter.
But we have 2 pets, that should help even things out. Also (completely meta-gaming), this was intended to be a training tool so hopefully shouldn't be as rough as many scenarios.
I do have a wand of CLW but really don't want to burn the whole thing up right away. I have a potion of CLW. So if I go unconscious, please pour it down my throat. =)
Unfortunately we may have to disarm traps the hard way. =(
I actually haven't done the first steps before since everyone at my local has done them until they are sick of them.
Female Human (Garundi) Fighter (Lorewarden) 1
With our trap (non-)expertise, I wish I'd picked up that 10' pole I was looking at.
That's the really old-fashioned way.
You'll get that potion if you need it, don't worry!

Part 3 does not assume you have played the other parts. You should not feel underprepared.

I am going to skip the Shadow Lodge introduction because, well, it's not really useful when they are going away in a couple months.

Looked at your profile Selter. Had to laugh at your snake taking cleave. Just trying to picture it :p
Nagaji, Naga Aspirant 10, HP 83, AC:23, FF:21, Th:12, F+13/R+9/W+14(+2mind-affecting&poison), Perc+18, Init+2
Yeah, it is kinda difficult to imagine how a bite can slice across a couple of people.
I may change it by the time I get there just because it sounds so wierd.

Hey guys, I'm a little under the weather and have a show opening, so I've been a bit scarce. Sorry! I'll try to catch up.
Stats: GMed 8 PFS PBPs; Played 18 PFS PBPs
The way I run combat is that you can post in any order, but I will resolve the actions in initiative order. It seems to make combat run faster. If you need to change your action because someone earlier in the order messed up what you were planning to do, that's ok.
Stats: GMed 8 PFS PBPs; Played 18 PFS PBPs
Oh, and I will get a map up tonight or tomorrow morning.
Female Human (Garundi) Fighter (Lorewarden) 1
Super stuff. Looking forward to see how combat works.

Combat Map is now under the header. You can select your character and move them on the map when appropriate.

Nice map, but it won't let me move my char.

Can't seem to move Acenith on the map using my iPad. I'll do it properly in the morning on the laptop. She's moving to flank with Sithiss (diagonally down and right from the cat).

We did an original adaptation of "Reefer Madness". Last show was last night so my free time is my own again. Sorry for being away so long!

I'm going out of town until Sunday evening so won't be able to post until then or Monday morning. Cheers!

UNACCEPTABLE! ALL MUST BE PRESENT EVERY DAY!!
Just kidding. Enjoy the weekend. I'm never sure if I will be able to get a connection at my inlaws or not.

I’m really sick today, and was yesterday, so posting will be slow until I shake this.

If it was just 1 person, I would say skip them saying they chose to do nothing this turn.
But when it is 3 people, I don't know what to do.
Female Human (Garundi) Fighter (Lorewarden) 1
I'm ready to go but, as I'm last and will very likely have to amend my action if I announce it now, I was waiting. I wasn't expecting to wait this long however...
I'm still here and keen to go. I plan to inch my way forward to hit whatever is still standing when I get there.

My apologies. I didn't see gameplay updates.
Spear time!
Female Human (Garundi) Fighter (Lorewarden) 1
The updates don't always appear for me actually. Usually but not always. The website was a bit slow for a few days. Maybe something jiggered it.
Rules question - the entangled condition means you move at half speed (plus the difficult terrain effectively makes it quarter speed) unless the entangling object is securely tethered, in which case you're immobile. Are you treating this entangle as being securely tethered? I've seen in interpreted either way.
Stats: GMed 8 PFS PBPs; Played 18 PFS PBPs
Yes, we will go with tethered.
Female Human (Garundi) Fighter (Lorewarden) 1
Works for me, if not so well for Acenith. One day she'll actually reach a combat before it ends!

Hmm, we seem to have lost our Paladin.

I will be unavailable Friday through Sunday this weekend.

I'm going to be out of town from Tuesday to Friday. No internet where I'm heading, so no posts from me during that time.

As we wrap this up, please roll your day job checks if you have them.

Doesn't look like anyone else has anything else to add.
I would suggest just wrapping it up unless there is some reason we need to go through the return to Absalom.
Would you prefer to email the chronicle sheets or post them for us to download (like google docs or something).
