Brand new core character here. Telos is a ranged spellslinger who really doesn't like to get his hands dirty (and so he doesn't carry any weapons). In his first pathfinder mission he'll get to find out how well that works.

Sounds like the answer to This Chronicle # is 1, as this will be the first chronicle for Telos.
I'm...worried about how much gold you have left. What kind of gear do you have? What's your plan when you run out of spells?
Basic travelling gear, as seen on the character sheet. The plan is to fall back to ray of frost. I figure sling bullets (which sometimes halflings favor) do no more damage than that anyway. However, there are the elemental rays in addition to the spells, so it won't come to that so quickly.

Sorry, I'd missed your gear in the "Statistics" spoiler. I haven't read the scenario yet, so I don't know exactly what you'll be facing. I tend to favor, and push players to think about, being prepared for multiple situations. In your case, you have nothing you can do about a swarm, and if you face something with cold resistance/immunity (like, say, a skeleton) after you've run out of spells, there's nothing you can do about that, either. That leaves a heavier burden on your teammates.
Also, I don't know about this one in particular yet, but specials tend to be long and grueling, so the likelihood of running out of spells/rays is higher than normal. I don't want to talk you out of your character concept, but I also don't want that concept to leave your teammates high and dry. Maybe consider at least some alchemical weapons, if not a sling?
@Telos: A longspear might come in handy. Specials have a lot of combat, so you actually will run out of spells and elemental rays quickly and there won't me much non-combat stuff for you to do either. Plus, the longspear will have a higher to hit and damage.

I went with a halfling sling staff, which is more damage and with range. If I can fit the weight I might add that too for when the bullets run out.
Honestly though, will it be such a grind that i'll run out of elemental rays, spells, and sling bullets with no rest to recover abilities or no place to buy more ammo?

Ammunition is unlikely--my concern there would be firing into melee and possibly against cover. You will probably run out of spells and rays though; specials can be brutal.

The same applies to spell rays though, so I don't think there's a different there (and it's why my character is taking point-blank shot and at later levels will take precise shot, weapon focus (spell ray), etc.).
I was suggesting the longspear as an alternative to cantrip attacks, not your bloodline ability.

If you haven't had a chance yet, take a look at his character sheet, particularly the tactics and gear sections, and see what you think.
If I add the shortspear I'll have to remove weight elsewhere, but honestly if this character has to resort to that (at STR 8/-1), he's more surviving than helping the party. Or maybe it's no big deal if he goes over weight a little bit and we say he drops his gear when battle breaks out.

I recommend the longspear. That 10-ft. reach is crucial for keeping you out of harm's way. And keep in mind, you can always just aid another and provide a flank, if you aren't happy with your own damage.
Encumbrance isn't nearly as important to a non-melee character. You won't need to move those extra 5 ft. all that often.
Thoughts on your character sheet:
- Two scrolls of cure light wounds might be better than one potion of cure light wounds, since you have four allies who can activate a scroll.
- Why did you take the Suspicious trait, if you aren't putting ranks in Sense Motive?
- If you are casting defensively, you are already screwed. Focused Mind won't change that.
- Get 10 regular sling bullets, and 10 cold iron

* Sure, I can switch for the scrolls.
* Trait: because it fit the backstory I have so far* Focused mind: again, fit the story.
* Good point
Also, reach weapon makes sense.

Looks like we have everyone here. Please fill in your initiative and perception modifiers on the first slide of the deck. The link to those slides is also in my tag line as RftRK, and will be at the top of the page as soon as this page gets officially switched over to my control.
Granta, please post your character info when you have it ready.

Actually I need to remove this, as the weapon familiarity racial trait doesn't grant this as a proficiency, just makes it martial for halflings. Reverting to sling.
I apologize for the late decision, but I am going to drop from this game. I have not been able to come up with a personality and back story for the new character, and I will not be able to enjoy the game without that stuff :-/

Well met, all! The aforementioned "another player". I'll be playing Roven Bluntaxe, the Blade n' Board Fighter. Gruff, been seen a few battles in my day, just not for the 'Society.

Welcome, Roven!
Just as a heads up, the Overseer (Shifty) is in Australia, so things are going to be posted fairly early by other standards. Specifically, while the official start date is January 5th (which is 2 days from now by my time), the announcement is likely to come sometime tomorrow, when it hits January 5th Australia time.

Because Mr. Tiggles knows the Attack trick (twice, actually, because.) it's a free action to get it to do any trick it knows and a move action to push it, or get it to do something it doesn't know. That's thanks to the Link special ability that animal companions get.
Link (Ex): A druid can handle her animal companion as a free action, or push it as a move action, even if she doesn't have any ranks in the Handle Animal skill. The druid gains a +4 circumstance bonus on all wild empathy checks and Handle Animal checks made regarding an animal companion.
