Dang. Back to square one... Hold Person could still be good against any of the orcs, I suppose. An orc-demon would still be considered a humanoid, right?

Buffing others or yourself are always good options. Invisibility, True Strike, Shield-y Protection-y spells (Protection From Evil comes to mind...)
Ishy is just going for Long Arm and Shield goodness. With Abyssal Bulk and Long Arm, she's at 15' reach, and with the hammer, at 20'. Providing we aren't boxed in.
I'm limited to Abjuration, Enchantment, and Transmutation, but there are some really good spells in there. I'll pick something before my next post.
In other news...
I am doing a special training thing at work. It is pretty disruptive to my normal schedule, so I don't know what posting will look like for me this week. Bot me if necessary. Hali, as you may have noticed, tends to self-buff while making his way to a fight, but if he is already within charging distance he typically skips buffing. He also likes to demean his opponents.
I am leaving on a retreat on Thursday the 3rd and won't be back til Sunday afternoon. I will try to keep up on my phone, but it's very hard to post using it, so please bot me as necessary to keep the game flowing. Thanks
I will be away for a few days... will have internet access in the evenings but not sure how reliable it will be... just a forewarning that I might be unable to post... if that happens, feel free to bot me as needed.
Sorry for the delay in posting. I expected to catch up over the weekend but spent literally all weekend helping my parents move. I hope to be caught up by the end of tomorrow.
Almost done leveling up; trying to pick a level 2 Enchantment, Transmutation, or Abjuration spell from the Inquisitor spell list. Then I should be able to check in to the gameplay thread.
Leaving for a con early in the am tomorrow and limited posting, if any, til then... please bot me as necessary to keep the flow of game going... thanks and see you all Monday night when i get home and catch up.
It took all week for me to get caught up in all my games and now a sudden death in the family has me traveling up north tomorrow (thurs), a funeral on friday and driving home on saturday - This time I will have my computer with me but posting will probably only at night, same with sunday as I'll be at the oscars til late. sorry for any delays in gaming, but I should be back to normal daily posting on monday.
Just a heads up. I will be leaving Thursday morning for a 4-day retreat at the beach that lasts til Sunday afternoon, then I have a Sunday night concert to attend. I will take my computer with me, but I may not be able to post much til after I get home. Please feel free to bot me if I delay the game at all.
On Monday, my dog goes into surgery and when he returns home on Tuesday, I will be on a full-time home care regimen with him. He needs to be walked with a belly band whenever he needs to relieve himself or get up to get a drink or eat, so it will be a busy time. (He's an almost 100 lb st. bernard puppy, so he can't be carried for these things).
I'll be able to post regularly again starting Monday, but perhaps not as frequently as usual for a while.... Anyway, sorry in advance for any lack of posting on my part. I will do the best I can.
Heads up all... I am going to Gamex this weekend... we leave early in the morning and not sure when/if I'll be able to check in before Monday night... If I can post, it will be limited in time with brief posts... Please feel free to bot me if I'm holding things up... thanks...
Ok it's time for me to do chronicles for those of you who want that. There are 4 sheets here - the 4th you can gain experience and cash from or not, your choice. you'll be gaining 3-4 levels for the character in question.
Just give me
PFS # for character you want this to apply to (some of you already did but some were unsure)
Whether you want the 4th sheet
Day Job rolls (3 or 4 depending on whether you take the 4th sheet)
Will be at a conference for work most of this week and may not be able to check the boards, but what I said about wanting to play another module with you all still stands.

That's a good idea, Hali. It's a hard one to pull off--basically, we have to start a Recruitment thread and try to lure a GM to do more PFS at the appropriate tier.
I would do a game with this group as well! Huzzah!
modules appropriate for 6th lvl characters (which I haven't already played):
From Shore to Sea (5-7)
Dawn of the Scarlet (Sun 4-6)
Emerald Spire (parts 6, 7 and 8)
Tears at Bitter Manor I (5-7), & II (6-8)
Down the Blighted Path I & II
House on Hook Street I & II
just need a gm willing to take us on one or more of these.
I've played both of those (and run Dawn twice). If raw difficulty is your primary concern, Dawn is brutal. (We likely have the ability as a group- -Hali and Ishingka's ability for 'burst damage' is a good catch-all- -but it's grueling to an average party.)
My group had little issue with From Shore to Sea, and I don't think we had much in the way of raw "encounter-ending" power.

Hali is a multi-buffed monster. Ishy is more of a one-trick pony, but hey, DPR is a fun trick to try at times. :D I have no strong opinion on which module to take, and totally understand how Eddv would be worn out!
When devils slay the knightly leader of Arwyll Stead and orcs from the Hell's Fury tribe attack the town, all hope seems lost for the brave people living on Lastwall's border. The coincidental arrival of the mysterious half-orc Vegazi also raises unsettling questions, and it's up to the heroes to make sense of these events and end the Hell's Fury tribe's threat to Arwyll Stead once and for all. What does Vegazi have to do with the raiders' diabolical plot? Who will rally Arwyll Stead now that the town's icon has been cut down? And who is the mastermind orchestrating the orc tribe's alliance with devils from beyond?
Hello All!
I am looking to run an ongoing game using the Daughters of Fury Supermodule. I will be running it for PFS credit BUT this is a sort of unique scenario in that you can run the scenario with any level 3 character you want and apply the credit to a totally different character.
Level: 3
Races: Any of the PFS legal races are instantly acceptable (that is Core plus Kitsune, Tengu, Wayang, Nagaji). Anything else will be evaluated on a case by case basis
Stat Generation: 20 point buy.
Classes, Archetypes and Feats: No 3PP, no item creation, No Flaws.2 Traits.
Posting Expectations: I tend to be a pretty relaxed GM, I will update a bunch Tuesday through Saturday but Sunday and Monday I tend not to be around my computer.
I will let this run for about a week or so before I close off recruitment.
Saiman, check out the GM section of the PFS guide. GMs can run sanctioned modules (not scenarios) as regular Pathfinder games with whatever house rules they want and get PFS credit for themselves and their players to apply to PFS characters as long as they play through the module.

Thanks Caps. My PBP virginity showing through as I've only done PFS through Jan and haven't since because of medical issues.
Okay... I've changed the character (originally Bait) to fit this campaign... hope you like him, GM Eddv... Let me know if you want me to change anything to suit the campaign better... I'd love to play, and will endeavor to make any changes you want.
I've never used Words of Power, but it's something I've been curious about.
Ended up being more than I wanted to deal with though.
Elandra is a local Tengu outrider. She is a skilled mounted archer and skirmisher with lots of woodland friends to help her.

Jag is still getting used to life in the warm lands off the high ice. There's no humpback whales to hunt, and the snow is far less common, but its nice. Sleeping outside isn't a death sentence. And the colors! Ussur's life was forever changed (too early to tell whether for good or ill) when Jag discovered the availability of dye in one of the various towns they've visited. Now, his fur matches Jag's hair- -vivid orange with the original white only showing through in streaks and a couple of missed spots.
While Jag may or may not know about the bleaching, he's certainly fighting it off with a combination of wanderlust and plucky escapes (usually credited to Ussur)- -he still has several scars from when he got a little too close to a wolf with her cubs- -he never seems to resist a city, no matter the size. The smells! The colors! The sounds! The stuff!
Touch of Darkness (Sp): As a melee touch attack, you can cause a creature's vision to be fraught with shadows and darkness. The creature touched treats all other creatures as if they had concealment, suffering a 20% miss chance on all attack rolls. This effect lasts for a number of rounds equal to 1/2 your cleric level (minimum 1). You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A Mendevian priest is proficient with all simple weapons, light armor, medium armor, heavy armor, shields (except tower shields), and the favored weapon of her deity.
_______________
Feats:
Blind-Fight: You are skilled at attacking opponents that you cannot clearly perceive. In melee, every time you miss because of concealment (see Combat), you can reroll your miss chance percentile roll one time to see if you actually hit. An invisible attacker gets no advantages related to hitting you in melee. That is, you don't lose your Dexterity bonus to Armor Class, and the attacker doesn't get the usual +2 bonus for being invisible. The invisible attacker's bonuses do still apply for ranged attacks, however. You do not need to make Acrobatics skill checks to move at full speed while blinded.
Tribal Scars: You endured the grueling coming-of-age rituals of your tribe or following, and proudly bear the scars that grant you the blessings of your tribe’s ancestors or totem. You gain 6 hit points. In addition, you gain one of the following:
Night hunt: +2 bonus on Perception and Survival checks.
Selective Channeling: You can choose whom to affect when you channel energy. When you channel energy, you can choose a number of targets in the area up to your Charisma modifier. These targets are not affected by your channeled energy.
Toughness: You have enhanced physical stamina. You gain +3 hit points. For every Hit Die you possess beyond 3, you gain an additional +1 hit point. If you have more than 3 Hit Dice, you gain +1 hit points whenever you gain a Hit Die (such as when you gain a level).
_______________
Traits:
Exalted of the Society [Faith]: The vaults of the Grand Lodge in Absalom contain many secrets of the divine powers of the gods, and you have studied your deity extensively. You may channel energy one additional time per day.
Blood of Dragons [Race]: Long ago, your ancestors’ blood mixed with that of dragons. Choose one of the following: gain a +1 trait bonus on Perception checks, gain low-light vision, or gain a +2 trait bonus on saving throws against effects that cause sleep or paralysis.

Berstuk is the perfect support character for the party in battle. Growing up in the harsh lands of the Mammoth Lords, he understands the price of strength and military tactics. He can heal the party - selectively, without enemies, can work fine in the first row - creates a flank for fellows, weakens foes with magic, would not let enemies come to more stunted comrades and also can hit himself. In a non-combat situation he tries to solve everything peacefully... and cunning. He will be the last to try to appeal to reason and conscience of the interlocutor, but if it doesn't work - he will try to help his teammates to use stealth and deception. In the end, Kelinahat which he worships - patron of spies, and despite her lawful-good essence, She on Ebon Wings encourages deception and stealth, if it goes in the name of good deeds.
Question, how are you with multiclassing? Some GM's get bent out of shape over it, especially if you're doing 1-2 levels in a certain class. Also, is Gunslinger ok? If so, what is the guns level?
I'd have to rebuild him, but Oliver here was a 6th level character I enjoyed, very wild west cowboy gentleman type. Gunslinger/Paladin/Fighter so minor healing ability, and mixed combat abilities.

Background:
Valyssa is a half orc from the northern reaches near Jol. She is of third or fourth generation half orc descent and is more human than half orc by now. She was raised by a human family and grew up listening to the stories and songs of the village skalds and bards. When she came to marrying age she instead joined a Jarl and his contracted war-band raid and explore across the waters. She spent some time there twiddling her fingers as the campaign was boring and uneventful. Not wanting to return home, Valyssa decided to join a caravan heading east as a guard with some other barbarians. Once again the caravan managed to avoid any conflicts as it traveled through civilized lands. Singing for coin to make her way Valyssa journeyed from town to town as a tourist and performer looking for something to do. Hearing about a job or looking for adventure Valyssa is ready for anything...armed with sword, shield and Caydens blessing- Valyssa is ready to begin.
