Check in and dot away!
Totally dot-o-matic.

FYI - Shotgun message I am posting to all of my games (and the recruitment threads I have been participating in):
I will be attending a Mormon-friendly scheduled Wood Badge course (first weekend) this week. The Mormon friendly part is that the course runs from Thursday (0730) through Saturday (2000ish) instead of the more normal Friday through Sunday.
I expect I will be checking the boards and posting Wednesday evening, but probably not as extensively and repeatedly as I do most weeknights.
Then, my wife and I are supposed to get up Sunday and go shopping for some better work clothes for me. It will probably be Sunday evening before I post again.
Just trying to make sure people are aware, and don't end up waiting on me by mistake.
That's fine. I noticed you have a few alchemical items listed at the crafting discounted price. Doing so in PFS seems overly complicated and I don't see it done too often (with the exception of gunslingers). Anyone know the limitations of alchemy crafting offhand?

because i am alchemy specialist i can make alchemical items with the craft skill. My craft skill with my lab is +10 so when i take 10 can make anything that has DC 20 without fail. Other than that there is no limit, i have in the last few games supplied out my items to the group as its cheap for me to make them, as long as they in return heal me its a fair trade ;)

Howdy!
Well, this "weekend" (10, 11 & 12 Apr) is the 2nd weekend of my 2 weekend Boy Scout training course known as Wood Badge. This course is being offered on an LDS friendly schedule, so I report to the campground at 0700 on Thursday and get home during Saturday evening.
In keeping with the rules given to the boys for their campouts, I will not be allowed to use any fancy electronics during the 3 days of the course. So I will be out of touch for those 3 days.
If you need to bot me, do.
My wife is talking about spending a week camping to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. These plans are not finalized (or even really scheduled) yet. But I know she won't be able to go a week without her electronic tether, so I expect to be in contact during that period anyway.
Thanks for the heads up.
Busy with long days of work. Might not be able to post until tonight or tomorrow.

By the way, Swarmholio is in a couple more games with me and hasn't posted in those for over a week either. I sent him a PM a while ago to check in and he hasn't gotten back yet. It's probably safe to put him on hold for a while. He mentioned camping for a week; hopefully that's it and not something bad.
We are basically done. Everyone give a quick wrap-up post in Ganeplay, then Day-job rolls here and I'll report and send out chronicles.
Thanks for playing!
Swarmholio and all of his aliases have been inactive for almost 2 months. No idea what happened, but it must have been something big.
Since this is a Gameday event, I need everyone to roll a d20 to see if they get a boon.
For convenience, here is how the Boon awards are being handled:
Player Boons:
At the conclusion of each game, the GM and the players will all roll a raw d20 in the virtual presence of the GM, only at the time the GM indicates, and in the game thread. (Alternatively the GM is allowed to roll for all the players as a public list of rolls on the Forum they are running the game in, instead of allowing the players to roll individually themselves.)
Anyone who rolls a natural 20 will get the boon of their choice (see selection below).
Anyone who rolls a natural 1 will get a random boon, determined by the GM rolling a d4 and matching that with the Boon number below.
(As stated above, the GM is also allowed to participate in this boon roll to also have a chance to win a boon in each game.)
** The post with the boon rolls should not be edited after the initial roll is made. **
Boon selection:
Boon 1:
Lingering Resonance: A recent encounter with an enemy spellcaster left your body strangely receptive to spell effects. At the beginning of a scenario, you may announce that you are using this boon. The next time that you fail a saving throw against any spell or spell-like ability from an enemy spellcaster, have your GM write the name of the spell below. Choose one of the following benefits, and cross the other off your Chronicle sheet.
• When you cast the listed spell, you may increase the DC of the saving throw by 2.
• When you roll a saving throw against the listed spell, you gain a +4 bonus on the save.
You may use this bonus once for free, after which you should check the box below; each additional use of the selected benefit costs 1 Prestige Point.
Boon 2:
Long Distance Support: You heard the Decemvirate’s call to arms as the Fifth Crusade began, but for whatever reason the society did not send you to the front lines immediately. You may nonetheless send extra supplies to aid your fellow Pathfinders. At the end of any scenario that does not take place in Mendev or the Worldwound, you may choose to spend 1 Prestige Point to send a cache of necessary supplies north to aid the war effort. On a line below, have your GM record where the scenario took place and initial the entry. Upon filling all five lines, you gain two benefits.
First, you gain a Mendevian Commendation for your tireless efforts to supply the crusade. A Mendevian Commendation grants you a cumulative +1 bonus on Charisma-based skill checks to influence Mendevian Crusaders (maximum +3).
Second, as a swift action while fighting a creature with the demon subtype or bearing an unholy symbol of a demon lord, you may grant all allies that you can see within 60 feet a +2 circumstance bonus on attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws against those creatures for one minute. When you use this second ability, cross it off your Chronicle sheet.
Boon 3:
Mendevian Weapon Training: Queen Galfrey of Mendev understands both that poorly equipped crusaders are of little use to the ongoing war against demonkind and that an inadequately trained crusader cannot make effective use of good equipment. As a result, those who dedicate themselves to the Fifth Crusade have access to training and equipment that might not otherwise be available. When you would be permitted a Day Job check, you may instead spend 4 Prestige Points to receive intensive training with a specific weapon or suit of armor. You receive a masterwork version of the weapon or armor, and you gain proficiency in that specific weapon or armor (but not others of its type). If you are already proficient with the selected armor or weapon, you instead gain a +2 bonus to CMD against disarm and sunder combat maneuvers targeting the chosen item.
Choose the weapon or armor from the following list: breastplate, glaive, heavy shield, or longsword.
Boon 4:
Moment of Glory: Whether it is by fate, fortune, or circumstance, you are able to tap into a hidden reserve of power at just the right moment to perform a truly extraordinary feat. By activating this boon as a free action, you become a mythic character (1st mythic tier) for 3 rounds. If you fall unconscious due to hit point loss during this time, you automatically stabilize without needing to attempt a Constitution check. In addition, once before this effect ends, you may use the surge mythic ability to increase any d20 roll you just made by rolling 1d6 and adding it to the result. Using the surge is an immediate action taken after the result of the original roll is revealed. This can change the outcome of the roll.
When you use this boon, cross it off your Chronicle sheet; however, anytime you successfully complete (earning the maximum possible number of Prestige Points) a scenario that using the “hard mode” option, you may have the GM sign this boon. You may use this boon one additional time for each such signature you receive.
Sark, there is only one mode for Thornkeep. Level 1 and 3 are just a bit more deadly then levels 2 and 4. I'm going to hold off on running part 3 until I get my second star (maybe a month from now). If you guys are all still interested and available, we can talk about it then.
Also, Sark, your magical ability to roll low earned you a random boon!

I think Sark is referring to the verbage used in that last boon.
"When you use this boon, cross it off your Chronicle sheet; however, anytime you successfully complete (earning the maximum possible number of Prestige Points) a scenario that using the “hard mode” option, you may have the GM sign this boon. You may use this boon one additional time for each such signature you receive."
I'm a bit confused as well.
Oh, I didn't even read the boons. There are a handful of scenarios that have additional material that increases the difficulty and makes the adventure harder.
Two that I know of:
4-26 The Waking Rune
5-13 Weapon in the Rift
After reading the Moment of Glory boon, I think I really want one. If anyone wants to trade one of those for an Oread race boon, let me know.
I'm not sure how good becoming mythic is. I just want it for my character Maximo for roleplaying purposes.
Actually, I forgot that I get to roll for a boon too.
Boo..

Mythic for three rounds? YES. That is so good if you use it to your fullest potential. My archaeologist Trotter, who is usually more of a support character, used that boon in Eyes of the Ten and completely changed the tide of the first battle when it seemed we were all about to wipe. Just make sure you read up about mythic before you use it and pick out your path ability before-hand. If you want it to be really effective, you have to be prepared to use it; it's not one you can just pull out without a little prior research. But you will instantly become the star of the combat.
Rufus and Sark, since Rufus rolled his choice of boons and Sark got a random one that Rufus seems to want, you two could trade. Rufus still gets his weapon training, and could choose whichever boon Sark wants.
In person I believe you would just sign and indicate it as traded. Here, I'll just report it as you two decide.

I am fine trading mine with Sark. But, since this is a pbp, wouldn't it be easier if you just reported our boons already traded DM Rah? Report 3 for me and 4 for Sark.
Specially since paizo delivery of those things is not that reliable. Last gameday I heard of people only getting their boons one month later.
Yes, that was my intention. Very clean and tidy.

can i buy a wand of cure light for 2 PP as well DM :)
BTW this would have been fun to use on the statues :0
Control the Mindless (Su)
You can gain control over mindless constructs and undead. Using this ability is a standard action, and requires you to make a Knowledge check against the target's CMD. Use a Knowledge (arcana) check against a mindless construct, or a Knowledge (religion) check against a mindless undead. If your check equals or exceeds the creature's CMD, you can give the creature an order that lasts up to 1 round. For every 5 by which you beat the DC, your control lasts 1 additional round. The creature's creator or controller can't regain control during this time unless it also uses this ability. If you expend one use of mythic power when attempting to use this ability, the duration of your control increases from rounds to an equal number of minutes.
