Player's Name: Edward McGee
Character's Name: Rocky
PFS #: 145373-16
Faction: Grand Lodge
Progression: normal
Day Job Roll:
Notes: Unchained monk with Dragon Style and Flying Kick. Fairly mobile, AC 30 including mage armor and barkskin. Dmg is medium per hit but he can bypass a lot of DRs. And he has greater grapple if facing 1 enemy.
My Wizard 11 is pure Fireball cheese. A walking tac-nuke. Not the most fun to play with but if you are doing a Drowning Pool style dungeon crawl he is handy to have along.

Sorry, didn't expect this to get up and running so fast. Need to get this character set up for PbP. Will have him up and posted to start by end of the day. Feel free to move forward and I'll retro in my intro.

Sorry - just looked at this tab!
Player's Name: Rhanloi
Character's Name: Grimaldus
PFS #: 83583-2
Faction: Liberty's Edge
Progression: Normal
Day Job Roll:
Notes: If we get into cold /freezing weather, Grim has the following boon:
Blessing of Malikeen: You may activate this statuette of a yeti cradling a child as a standard action to gain the effects of an endure elements spell against cold only, and to treat your altitude zone as one category lower. These benefits last to the end of the scenario.
Also have Horn of Aroden: You recovered the Horn of Aroden, a relic once used to bolster the forces of good and defeat Deskari’s minions. It is powerless now, but may be useful in Mendev’s fight against the Worldwound.

Posting this in all my games: My father passed away a couple days ago. I’m going to be occupied helping my siblings make the usual arrangements and get his estate in order. I apologize for the absence. Please bot me as needed. If this is a game I’m GMing, just hang tight and I’ll catch up with everything when I can.

GM ElanMorin –
Wanted to raise an issue that I’m not sure how to resolve in a PbP format. Chabon is built as a counterspeller. He’s got 3 exploits dedicated to it. So, just wondering how to proceed since I have to ID the spell as it is being cast and then make a decision if I am going to counter, then make the check. I don’t want to slow down the game, but I’d like to use this ability since we are chasing some casters and I imagine I’ll have the opportunity.
Here are the details on counterspelling:
By expending 1 point from her arcane reservoir, the arcanist can attempt to counter a spell as it is being cast. She must identify the spell being cast as normal. If she successfully does so, the arcanist can attempt to counter the spell as an immediate action and by expending an available arcanist spell slot of a level at least one higher than the level of the spell being cast. To counterspell, the arcanist must attempt a dispel check as if using dispel magic. If the spell being countered is one that the arcanist has prepared, she can instead expend an available arcanist spell slot of the same level, and she receives a +5 bonus on the dispel check. Counterspelling in this way does not trigger any feats or other abilities that normally occur when a spellcaster successfully counters a spell.
Greater counter = Whenever the arcanist uses the counterspell exploit, she can expend any arcanist spell slot of the same level or greater than the spell to be countered (instead of the spell level +1).
(1d20 + my caster level = 11) vs. DC = 11 + the spell’s caster level
Whenever the arcanist successfully uses the counterspell exploit, she regains a number of points to her arcane reservoir, which is determined by the level of the spell countered. Spells of 2nd level or lower do not restore any points to her arcane reservoir. Spells of 3rd and higher restore 1 point to her arcane reservoir for every three spell levels (rounded down), to a maximum of 3 points at 9th level. The arcanist must have the counterspell exploit to select this exploit.
So maybe when adversary casts, you roll a spellcraft check for me (dice=Chabon spellcraft]d20+20[/dice]), although I auto ID anything 6th lvl or less, and if I pass put it in a spoiler and then I can say if I counter and roll the check? I’m open to other plans.

As I asked you in game, have you got an ability that allows you to cast summon monster spells as standard actions instead than full round actions? If not, you moved and then prepared to cast, unless you want to use that standard action to do something else.
If you have an ability that reduces summon monster casting time (like a summoner's for example) then we'll proceed as you wrote.

Oy vey.
Let me tell you what's going on with me. First, I'm not dead nor fading away. However, after a week of illness and a week of reasonably ill vacationing, I'm now stranded without access to the Internet (I'm writing this from my mother's house, which is definitely not a long-term solution).
Then, the team of electricians who were going to wire my house were in an automobile accident and several were injured. So still no Internet.
Other electricians are coming to wire my house for the Internet and -hope- they can do it by next Friday.
Trying to stay connected by iPad has proved too difficult when I can summon at most 1 or 2 bars at my house. Thus, I'm just going to be offline for a bit. I'm sorry, but now you know why.

Awesome - thanks for running. Quick question: Chabon would have looked for Desimire's spellbook and would be interested in scribing some spells out of it, potentially. Wondering if they provide that info, or at least spells prepared to give an idea? Will figure out wands - been keeping track on my inventory sheet, but didn't note where the scenario checks started. Curious what other folks do to keep track? Haven't been asked this before.

@Chabon: Here's what Desmire's memorized spells were
6th — globe of invulnerability, summon monster VI, true seeing
5th — acidic sprayUM (DC 21), break enchantment (DC 20), cone of cold (DC 20), summon monster V, teleport
4th — black tentacles, enervation, fire shield, ice storm, summon monster IV
3rd — ash stormUM, fireball (2; DC 18), stinking cloud (DC 19), summon monster III
2nd — acid arrow (2), extended mage armor, glitterdust (DC 18), summon monster II, web (DC 18)
1st — burning hands (2; DC 16), corrosive touchUM, grease (2; DC 17), magic missile, summon monster I
0 (at will) — acid splash, dancing lights, detect magic, flare (DC 15)
Note that as far as I know in PFS the spells you can gain during play are turned into scrolls and placed into the CS among the items avaiable to you for completion. You cannot normally gain spells from another wizard's spellbook in PFS.

Not my understanding as I’ve done it a few times, including when I defeated the first Desimire villain, but at this point in his careerI’m not worried about it. Same as when at a table w others with spell books, you still have make the check and pay the cost of scribing, but not purchasing scroll.
Thanks again for running. Was a fun group!
