Nella, I don't think them going invisible would stop the spiritual weapon... though it would have the 50% miss chance I believe, so redirecting is fine =)
Masym finally manages to cut off the last of the hardened goo sticking him to the floor, though there's still enough of it left to make it hard for him to move freely. He doesn't let that stop him however, as he starts to climb up the crates, though doesn't get very far.
The man up there, seeing Wei Tchak and Masym encroaching on his position, starts to back away, only to have Nella's spiritual weapon soar across the intervening space and cut a long gash across his back. He barely has time to cry out in pain, before Jones finally lines up his shot, and sinks an arrow into his side, and he topples over amid the boxes.
Nella then channels to heal her companions, though the healing energies wash over everyone in the area, thugs included, and suddenly the downed man coughs up a bit of blood as he almost immediately becomes conscious again, and finds himself staring up at the ceiling, badly injured. He desperately fishes a bottle out of his pocket, and drinks it, without getting up, quickly disappearing from sight... though judging by the sacks he was laying on, he hasn't moved yet.
- Round 2-----
Jones (-1), Masym (entangled), Nella (-11)
red (invisible), yellow (invisible), green (-21, prone, invisible)
Malusha, Phoebee, Wei Tchak (-11, deaf) --------> We are here!

Bold can go!
Moved Jones up to the same init position as masym and nella
"Let's get em all unconscious first and heal ONE... or just not take down whichever one surrenders first... but don't heal em til they're defeated, one way or another."
In an effort to keep things moving... we'll delay Malusha a little!
Being invisible does not help the nearby thug, as Wei Tchak steps over and thrusts his katana through the space where he lay on the crates. The blade sinks deeply and though he remains unseen, the blood flowing onto the nearby goods hints at his condition as he stops moving once more.
Phoebee, worried about all the enemies going invisible, casts a detection spell, though all she gleans from it immediately is that there are indeed magical auras in the area, though whether from her comrades, the bad guys, or other spell effects in place, she can not tell yet.
The man to the north, who only just disappeared after drinking his potion, reappears just as suddenly, as he fires a bolt across the open space that sinks into Jones' arm with a painful thunk. (9 damage to Jones) He then leaps off the back side of the crates, and Wei Tchak sees him hurrying over to the right, out of sight of everyone else.
- Round 3 -----
Malusha, Jones (-10), Masym (entangled), Nella (-11) --------> We are here!

Masym finishes climbing to the top of the crates, looking for any sign of the other pirates. Only seeing one of the other pirates, he crouches down while keeping a close eye upon the lone visible pirate.
Round 3:
Move: Climb up crates. Climb DC 10:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22 (Move 5' up). Crouch down for Partial Cover.
Move: Use Studied Target upon Blue Pirate.

Status: Entangled, Studied Target => Blue.
Sorry for the slow response. On a business trip and it's taking all of my time.
Malusha starts to aim his crossbow at the thug for a second shot and he sees him vanish. "Quick. Someone. We need to get to where he was and try to find him." Malusha moves along the floor in the direction of the stacks and tries to get around to the back side.

With all of the thugs either dead or vanished, Nella has little choice but to start trying to follow. She eyes the stacked boxes nervously and then moves to follow after Malusha, not trusting the stability of the stacks.
______
Double-move to her current position! Since Green is down and Nella can't see anyone else to target at the moment, her spiritual weapon returns to her and floats along behind her.
Nella and Malusha both hurry around through the stacks of cargo, trying to get around to the far side, while Masym continues upwards. He can't see quite as well through the dim light on the far side as Wei Tchak can, though he can make out one of the thugs well enough to get his measure!
Jones tries to barge through the piles of crates and boxes, avoiding the path entirely. Unfortunately, there are a few too many of them to push his way through, and all he manages to do is stress the stability of the entire structure. A few errant crates and barrels tumble over the far side, and you hear the sounds of someone cursing, and a yell of distress as one of those crates appears to hit someone unseen, before everything crashes to the ground.
You can't move through the crates like that... but you can try to topple stuff on folks... so made it one of those. You just got lucky and hit a square one of them was in! =) Returned the favor, if you will
Wei Tchak and Masym will notice some of those loose crates moving as whoever they hit climbs out from underneath them. Otherwise, you see no sign of the other thugs.

Active Conditions: Bless (+1 to hit), Inspire Courage (+1 to hit/damage) [Except Wei Tchak]
Phoebee and Wei Tchak to go!
There, got all my bad guys adjusted naturally! Should move quicker now =)
You might be able to work up something... but he's out of reach at the moment, being 15' up, on top of the crates. Though 'knocked out' and 'getting away' usually preclude each other =)
Detect Magic is mostly useless for finding invisible things while a combat is going on. It takes 3 rounds of standard actions, concentrating on the same area, to pinpoint something (assuming its not moving)... and that assumes you're able to identify the one you want amid all the other magic items in the area. Check the spell description for details.
Wei Tchak channels some of his avian ancestry as he suddenly dives off the pile of crates, but rather then falling, glides gracefully down to land beside the visible thug, sword first! The man gives a startled yelp, as the tengu comes in, barely managing to throw up his own cutlass to fend off the blow.
But Wei Tchak's eagerness to join the fray, has him forgetting the invisible foes, one of whom suddenly appears behind him thrusting a blade of his own. The cutlass pierces clean through the magus' shoulder, the tip appearing on the far side! (crit! 17 damage to Tchak). The first thug then tries to take advantage of the situation by stabbing him from the front... but he trips over some loose supplies that fell from the nearby stacks, and ends up taking a chunk out of a crate instead.
Then the third foe finally materializes, as he fires a shot up at Masym crouched atop the pile of supplies. Entangled and unable to see it coming, Masym has no chance to get out of the way... but the bolt strikes the edge of a barrel in front of him, only inches from his head. A thick viscous fluid starts to leak out.
- Round 4 ----- Malusha, Jones (-10), Masym (entangled), Nella (-11), Phoebee, Wei Tchak (-28, deaf) --------> We are here!

Male Human Slayer 6 (Vanguard archetype) HP 55/55 | AC 21 , T 15, FF 16 | F: +7, R: +10, W: +4 | CMD 22 | Perc. +10 | Init. +4
Masym curses again as Tei Tchak gets cut down. "Need some help here!" He yells out as he steps to the crate above the pirate, hacking him savagely with his blade and managing to strike a glancing blow.
Male Human Fighter (Archer) 2/Brawler 2: [HP: 34/34 ] [AC:21 T:15 F:16][CMB +6, CMD 21] [ Fort +7, Ref +8, Will +1] [Init:+5, Percep:+9]
Active Abilities:
Martial Flexibility:
At the sound of battle on the other side of the boxes, Jones quickly stashes his bow and climbs as fast as he can (accelerated climb adds 5 to the DC) to the top of the boxes.
HP: 67/67 l AC: 12, T 12, FF 10 l CMD 18 l F +10, R +6, W +12 l Adoration (7/7), Channel Energy (5/5), Clarifying Channel (1/1), Inspired (1/1), Resistant Touch (7/7) l L1: 4/5, D1: 1/1, L2: 4/4, D2: 1/1, L3: 3/4, D3: 1/1, L4: 3/3, D4: 0/1 l Init +6 l Senses: Perception +4
Nella continues making her way around through the maze of boxes until she rounds the corner and sees Tchak under attack from all sides by the remaining thugs. "Hey! You leave him alone!"
As she speaks, the ghostly glaive zooms forward to strike at Blue!
Malusha follows Nella along the wall until he clears the corner and can see the thugs surrounding Tchak. He raises his crossbow and fires as the closest one.
Phoebee, do you intend on doing anything? You've responded a lot, but never with an actual action of any sort.
At this point, I will probably interpret player indecision as PC indecision.
Acrobatics is not going to get you up there... that's literally less then a 1 foot vertical jump. You need to climb... so will assume you did that, though it won't take you to the top. luckily, you had a couple of rounds to work with, so will say you make it up to the top, and retrieve your scroll in the time allotted.
Tchak, surrounded and severely wounded, quickly draws out his infernal wand, and makes another deal for a little more time. Though it is likely to come too slowly to be of any aid. Masym tries to help out, clambering down the last few crates and taking a swipe with his sword at the thug on one side, scoring a severe wound across the man's arm.
Masym is 5' off the ground where he is.
Jones manages to haul himself up the pile of supplies, and brings his ioun torch with him, finally lighting up the far side enough to drive off the dim illumination.
Jones will be 10' above the action where he is.
Phoebee attempts to follow suit, though all the artistic flourishes in the world do not get her up the mountain of crates any quicker, and it takes her a little longer. She does reach the top however, and pulls out a scroll.
Malusha and Nella both take the more pedestrian route, running around the far side of the boxes until they can see the thugs once more. Nella directs her spiritual glaive at the first one she sees, though he manages to duck and avoids getting struck. Malusha sticks with his crossbow, hitting for the second time, though it is mostly just a glancing blow that grazes the side of the man's head.
Your foes seem determined to at least take one of you out, as the two flanking Wei Tchak both try to cut him down! The first, distracted by the bolt glancing off his temple and the otherworldly weapon trying to strike him down, misses completely. The one on the other side though, grits his teeth through the pain of Masym's attack, and calls back to the last to cover them as he hacks at Wei Tchak again, connecting solidly. The tengu drops to the ground, bleeding from multiple wounds. (12 damage to Tchak)
The last man swears colorfully, then throws something at the base of the crates. It instantly starts emitting clouds of smoke that quickly obscure vision, and you hear footsteps quickly retreating to the east.
Masym will get an AoO on yellow, but with a 20% miss chance
The smoke cloud only goes up 10', so Jones and Phoebee are above it.
- Round 5 -----

red, yellow (-12), blue (-2)
Active Conditions: Bless (+1 to hit), Inspire Courage (+1 to hit/damage) [Except Wei Tchak]
Malusha runs to the prone tengu. "Tchak, hold on. It will be ok." With healing hands Malusha touches Tchak and calls on Sarenrae's power. A surge of healing washes over him.
rebuke death:1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
I think that brings you to -3 and stable. Since you're still negative I will be able to do another rebuke death next turn. GM, does this affect his hearing loss?
Masym's return blow is obscured by the expanding smoke cloud and his blow is wide. Cursing vehemently under his breath he climbs down to the floor and nods gratefully to Malusha. "These pirates are well-equipped...We need to regroup here."
Move: Climb down, take 10.
Standard: Masym will wait for the others to act before acting.

She edges past Malusha and stops, flicking her wrist to drop her healing wand into her hand. Quickly, she taps Tchak with it.
CLW Wand:1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
______
Nella moves to her current position and taps Tchak with her healing wand. Not sure if her spiritual weapon gets a chance to try and hit Blue or not, but either way the spell ends this round.
Unable to strike the enemy through the sudden smoke, Malusha leaps down off the boxes, waiting for the others to join him.
Malusha moves in quickly once the coast is clear, calling on his faith to stem Tchak's bleeding, not realizing his infernal deal was about to do just that. Nella quickly moves up to help as well, healing an even larger amount, and bringing the tengu back to consciousness. As she does so, her spiritual glaive continues to doggedly chase the thug she pointed it at, though he's watching for it now, and dodges and weaves to avoid it until it slowly fades away, much to his relief.
Relief that is short-lived, unfortunately, as Jones proves to be equally as dogged in his pursuit, crawling up onto a nearby crate, and firing an arrow down at the man from almost directly above.
The man staggers from the blow, with a yell of pain, spurred to move even quicker towards the back of the warehouse with the others.
GM Screen:
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Wasn't it Jones, not Malusha, who jumped down off of the boxes?
Now that the immediate combat is over, Malusha takes a second to pull a wand from his pack. He quickly uses the wand on his crossbow to enchant the weapon. "Tchak, do you need more healing before we move on?"
Move action: get wand; standard action: cast magic weapon
Male Human Slayer 6 (Vanguard archetype) HP 55/55 | AC 21 , T 15, FF 16 | F: +7, R: +10, W: +4 | CMD 22 | Perc. +10 | Init. +4
Masym grunts in relief as the tengu is brought up to his feet. "Be careful next time. I still have this accursed goo on my legs!" He then moves towards where the pirates vanished to, hefting his spear to hurl it at the first one to draw his ire.
Round 6:
As part of his actions last round, Masym will sheath his longsword and switch to his spear.
Double Move to position on map.

"I've got it," Nella whispers as she taps Tchak again with her wand. "Be careful, okay?" she continues as she makes sure to place her back against one of the crates.
CLW (Tchak):1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Right now Phoebee is a 3.1 but should have at least another 2 credits under her belt, One DM and another scenario she is going through. Is there a follow up to the arc we did?
HP: 67/67 l AC: 12, T 12, FF 10 l CMD 18 l F +10, R +6, W +12 l Adoration (7/7), Channel Energy (5/5), Clarifying Channel (1/1), Inspired (1/1), Resistant Touch (7/7) l L1: 4/5, D1: 1/1, L2: 4/4, D2: 1/1, L3: 3/4, D3: 1/1, L4: 3/3, D4: 0/1 l Init +6 l Senses: Perception +4
Nella hasn't been played (she's at 5.0) since we finished up a couple of months ago so it's good to see that a couple of people have caught up to her a bit :)
Followup? Um.... it wasn't really an actual arc... I just kinda grabbed 6 scenarios that all were geographically in the same area, and tried to make them seem to be all connected. (Though I suppose 3 of them were an actual arc, so that helped it all work).
HP: 67/67 l AC: 12, T 12, FF 10 l CMD 18 l F +10, R +6, W +12 l Adoration (7/7), Channel Energy (5/5), Clarifying Channel (1/1), Inspired (1/1), Resistant Touch (7/7) l L1: 4/5, D1: 1/1, L2: 4/4, D2: 1/1, L3: 3/4, D3: 1/1, L4: 3/3, D4: 0/1 l Init +6 l Senses: Perception +4
Either option (Session 1 or 2) is fine with me. And yeah, I saw that three of us are at the same table for Solstice Scar! It'll be nice to sit on the same side of the GM screen with you :)
HP: 67/67 l AC: 12, T 12, FF 10 l CMD 18 l F +10, R +6, W +12 l Adoration (7/7), Channel Energy (5/5), Clarifying Channel (1/1), Inspired (1/1), Resistant Touch (7/7) l L1: 4/5, D1: 1/1, L2: 4/4, D2: 1/1, L3: 3/4, D3: 1/1, L4: 3/3, D4: 0/1 l Init +6 l Senses: Perception +4
Actually, I just noticed that Phoebee is signed up for a Solstice Scar table. Maybe we should do our reunion game during Session #2 so that anyone wanting to play their character in the special during Session #1 can do so? :)
*edit* As for what to play, I have many, many more scenarios unplayed than played so Nella should be good for most anything.
I'm also signed up for a session #1 game. Not Solstice Scar since I did that one live at PaizoCon. :-)
Since so many people are signed up for session #1 I think it would be best for us to start our reunion with session #2 (just like Nella suggested).
I'm at level 4 now.
As for scenarios, if your thinking of doing a sequence then maybe we can do the same as your "hot, hot, hot" sequence? Although I've already played Hall of Flesh Eaters and Kaava Quary with a different character. I didn't check the levels of the scenarios on your list so maybe it wouldn't work with our characters.
I'm pretty much fine with anything. Excited about the reunion.

Hey, you'll be able to catch up to me just a little bit more! That would also let Masym play Masym instead of a pregen during Solstice Scar, hehe.
No plans to play Nella in anything during Gameday besides whatever this group decides to play. I'm trying to keep my plate somewhat light since I'm going to be doing some GMing (!!!) during that period too :D

I've a lot less scenarios that I have done than haven't. I have a 4th level warpriest who is in an arc of adventures and then Phoebee and a rogue are 3rd levels in Standard with a 3rd level cleric of Shyelyn in Core. All my other characters are 1st or 2nd.
trying to get into a 3-4 game of Scar but they are all full... currently registered for a 7-8 game with another char, but would happily switch if another 3-4 game opens... that would make Tchak lvl 4 for our reunion game.
Single scenario is fine with me. And I don't really care which one. Maybe you can post a list of possible scenarios and we can tell you which ones we've already done.
Tchak has two months to work with before we even get there. You could get it elsewhere too =)
Anyway, sounds like we'll have five 4's (or close to it) and Nella at 5! That works!
Also sounds like we'll aim for the second part of Gameday to start.
Now just need a scenario to run!
Wei Tchak, you probably have played the most, so perhaps if you pick a few options, and we'll winnow down from there? Unless someone else has some thoughts.
(I currently have all scenarios from season 0 up to and including 7.28 (except a couple of the specials))
Here's a list of all the one's I haven't played that aren't 7-11 or up... some of them are still too high for this group, but I didn't remove em all...

The ones in bold are the ones I've not played before... I generally try not GM something until I've managed to play it at least once. (Only 6 of them... not bad =))
**Would recommend against 5.24, as I'm not sure how one would do the mass combat rules over PbP and would not be eager to sort that out =)
What about the Icebound Outpost (3-19)... sounds like we could have a cold reunion lol. Other than that, I don't know much about these mods, so have no special opinion other than that I'd rather do an older mod than a newer one (just to try to get older ones out of the way.
Icebound is inside the Hao Jin tapestry.
Among the Gods also has cold dangers (more so then Icebound) as your ascending a mountain, if showing off your endurance skills is your aim. Its kind of a vague follow-up to Among the Living and Among the Dead.
Umm... Beggars Pearl is an interesting story involving finding a lost Dwarven outpost (was one of the first scenarios I ever played!) Takes place in the mountains between Andoran and Cheliax. How well its weathered the many years since it came out, I do not know! =)
The Sanos Abduction can be fun, from an encounter standpoint. Though that might amuse me more then you guys. =) Takes place in the forest east of Magnimar.
City of Strangers and Shadows Last Stand involve rooting out more Shadow Lodge bases (like the Shades of Ice ones we did). The first another base in Magnimar, the later the ringleader in Almas... be easy to skip the first and go to the meatier second.
Otherwise, if you want to visit a particular place, that might help... or if the PC's have wandered off to other places, we might be able to find one around wherever they are now.
I have played Overflow Archives but none of the others from the short(er) list. So I'm happy with any of them. I tend to agree with Tchak about doing the older ones. At some point they might get retired and then not be available at all.
As for location, I don't care. When we left off our series Nella and Malusha were making plans to go to Osirion. Maybe that can work into it. But from my point of view it doesn't have to.
I can't think of any scenarios with Shelyn references to be honest...
And none of the ones listed take place in Osirion (Though I think the Sun Orchid Scheme might be in the country next door (Thuvia). Unsure as I've not played it! =))
Though I suppose Storming the Diamond Gate gets partial credit... that one was in Osirion once. =)
Actually, it occurs to me that, if I sign up early, they actually will provide me with the scenario for free.
So I guess it doesn't matter that I don't have any of the season 8 stuff... I could have it if needed. Admittedly, I've only played 2 of those.
HP: 67/67 l AC: 12, T 12, FF 10 l CMD 18 l F +10, R +6, W +12 l Adoration (7/7), Channel Energy (5/5), Clarifying Channel (1/1), Inspired (1/1), Resistant Touch (7/7) l L1: 4/5, D1: 1/1, L2: 4/4, D2: 1/1, L3: 3/4, D3: 1/1, L4: 3/3, D4: 0/1 l Init +6 l Senses: Perception +4
Of that original list, I actually just played both parts of Champion's Chalice at a convention a couple of weeks ago. Other than that, I should be good.
However I think Masym's player has played a few of the earlier season scenarios and I know he's done Overflow Archives already.

we could go for the first one on the list that isn't a 2-parter, the Penumbral accords, but reviews for it are not great... mostly saying it's a dungeon crawl without a lot of opportunity for rp, but this group can and frequently does it's own side rp without the scenario to spur it on, so that might not be a big negative.
or if you're up to running a 2-parter, the city of strangers is fine with me... though tbh, I just don't want to play 1/2 of a 2-parter and miss out on the 2nd half, so would prefer if you don't want to run both, please just run something else.... there's also 3-07 echoes of the overwatched, another blakrose museum scenario, but has better reviews than penumbral accords...
I haven't looked at any more of them yet... gotta run.
HP: 67/67 l AC: 12, T 12, FF 10 l CMD 18 l F +10, R +6, W +12 l Adoration (7/7), Channel Energy (5/5), Clarifying Channel (1/1), Inspired (1/1), Resistant Touch (7/7) l L1: 4/5, D1: 1/1, L2: 4/4, D2: 1/1, L3: 3/4, D3: 1/1, L4: 3/3, D4: 0/1 l Init +6 l Senses: Perception +4
I agree, I'd prefer to play two-parters back-to-back if at all possible. Assuming that that removes City of Strangers and Shadow's Last Stand from the list, hum...
I've heard good things about Library of the Lion but also that it's possible to talk your way through that one without any combat at all. Sometimes that's fun to do (just recently did that in a School of Spirits game) but I think most people are happy with a decent mix of RP/investigation and combat.
I wouldn't really classify Overwatched as a Museum scenario... sure it touches there at the start, but just for a bit. =)
Hmm... lessee, if I take out the ones I would not get a chronicle for (ie: have already GM'd them once) that would cut the list in half. (I don't care about the chronicle... its just an arbitrary reason to shorten the list =))
Drop the two parters.
Will also take out the Stolen Heir, as much like Library, you can pretty much talk your way through most of it.
Penumbral and In Wrath's Shadow are both similar in tone... ie: a lot of fights in interesting backdrops but limited RP interactions (still good stories though!). (again, arbitrary exclusions!)
Down to 8!

Mithril shirt is commonly available so you can buy it if you have the gold.
Elven chain is not, but as long as you have the fame (18 I think?), you can purchase the unenchanted version of it it, if you can afford it.
As for whether to get such things? Shrug. All depends on how you play your character and how comfortable you are with your AC.
any chance you can open gameplay so we can dot and have this in our campaigns page (that way I can close this tab and not lose track of the game)? thanks.
