Thanks - I had to ditch Locate Object, because it's 2nd level not first, but I've got everything else on that list. It helps not having to buy armor or weapons!
Maps and Handout
Looks like we are just waiting on Kamda to check back in.
I noticed in Oret's post he was inquiring about having one less person, since this is season 2, I think it may actually be a bit more challenging if we leave the 6th spot unclaimed, so I don't intend to replace Stonegrin.

Not a problem, I think 5 is a good number. Like a challenge! I was keeping it in character.

Hey guys, I've run into one hell of a real life snafu, and have basically been living out of my car for the last week or so. That means no wifi, and no access to my laptop. That makes leveling pretty damned hard. Hopefully everything gets better on the first, and I can actually have a house again. Anyway, I apologize profusely for being so absent. I'll still be posting, I'll probably just be a lot more scarse.

So sorry to hear that. Hope it gets better for you soon. Games can wait, I'm alright to slow down or pause even for Kamda's sake.

Same here - I'm sorry to hear what you're dealing with, Kamda, and if a pause would help and works for the GM, it's certainly fine with me.

Sorry to hear that Kamda....yeah we will slow down, for a little while. I'm in no hurry. If ya'll are good with that.

Gang work is kicking my butt right now and with Kamda out of action. I'm going to wait to post the next update tomorrow. Cheers

Gang -- After thinking it over, I PMed Kamda. The last thing I would want if I was facing a lot of IRL difficulties would be to worry about playing a game.
I just let him know we where going to move on without him; and offered to run a table of Part 2 when he gets back to a place he can comfortably enjoy PbP again.
I think that's fair to you guys and fair to him as well. And hope it doesn't come across as mean spirited, as it certainly isn't intend that way.

I think that is fair. On PbP I doubt you'll have difficulty in filling that table but I'd be glad to join for no credit to fill it required.
I'll also be very happy to host Kamda when he's back on his feet as well!

@Chaosorbit - resource management question - does the party have any sense of how far we are from our destination? Are we likely to have to camp another night on the road, or is it possible that we're going to do the rest of the scenario in one game day?

Yeah you would have thought they would have written it to end when the Big Bad went down...but nope. It even assumes the big gorilla will be dead by this point, and gives extra instructions if he is still up.

Couldn't they hold off until Garduk can take Augment Summoning at 3rd level?

That's the end gang!
Here are the chronicles Dropbox
Give them a look and let me know if you see any problems.
Thanks for a fun game...I'm really enjoying this group, both from the quality of role-play and also the nice pace we've been able to keep...thank you all.
That said, I am open to continue this group's journey should you want to continue together. Let me know and also let me know if you have any particular scenario requests.

Thanks for that game! Had a real enjoyable time!
Was about to say as well, that I am enjoying the dynamics, and it would be somewhat nice to continue with the group. I'm happy to continue the journey! And being fairly fresh to Pathfinder am quite free on the scenario choices.

Same for me! I am in another PbP where we just started playing the Shades of Ice trilogy (2-15, 2-17, 2-19), but everything else (which amounts to not much) I've played is up to date in the PFS Session Tracker under my number (199504).
Thanks for running a great game, and for being willing to continue!

Awesome thanks Chaosorbit! I have been really enjoying this group as well. I would love to continue on. I have not played much of anything from seasons 1-4 so something else from that range would be great! I can do some from later seasons too but that's more hit-and-miss. I will try to get my Session Tracker updated if that's helpful.
edit: they missed a great chance to have a cool Aspis-related boon on this chronicle. Like something where you get a bonus to diplomacy vs Aspis or something. That's a bummer but it's how the earlier scenarios seem to go.

Thanks for running! I can play almost everything from 1-4 so I have no problem with that. (Adding myself to the Session Tracker - thanks for the link Garduk)

If we do continue I'm considering switching to my half-orc barbarian/oracle. I've been dying to play him since inception, I've only assigned GM chronicles to him so he starts straight at lv3.
He's a half-orc who practices dark magic to try to transform himself into a vampire. So he will focus more on being a caster and only engage in melee if it's truly required. Might bring a balance to have one divine caster. I also recognise that by no means this build will be efficient but I really like the concept. (My motivations are the demon etrigan/jason blood and vampire batman.)
What's the groups thoughts? I'm also alright to continue with Oret by any means if the group feels more comfortable with that.

Are you going to post all his dialogue in rhyming verse? Oret always seemed so terse.
That would be particularly awesome.
My only concern is that Garduk is still at level 1.2 after this scenario - and I don't have anyone higher - so depending on where everyone else is, either he will need to play up or your character will need to play down. I think I'm OK either way, just want to make sure it works mechanically. If doesn't, I could always play a pregen at level 4 to make it work, but would prefer to continue playing Garduk if I can.

@Oret I'm sure Bokkah would be happy to have someone else who is comfortable working on the dark side. :D That said, play whichever character you will enjoy the most.
@Garduk- I will still be level 2 so we have to play a tier 1-2 scenario (APL = 2.33), you should be fine.
Maps and Handout
Character switch is fine with me. Still looking for what to do next but I'm looking at stuff season 4 and before. Will likely float some ideas out later today.

Great! I admit, I am curious about this Blakros family people keep talking about on the boards...
Maps and Handout
We could dip a toe into the Blakros drama...
I would recommend #2-11: The Penumbral Accords to start OR if that one has been played by anyone we might try #1-35: Voice in the Void.
Thoughts?

Looks like I'm dragging down APL, but on the other hand the early scenarios don't have adjustments for 4 character parties, right?
Maps and Handout
Correct..no 4 player adjustment, so it will be fine. With no one 4-5 we would be playing low subtier anyway. Kulga and Oret will get OoST gold.
So right now Penumbral Accords unless our wanna be vampire has already played it.
