This chronicle bumped me up to level 3. I will update info tomorrow.

Speaking of day job checks, did I make a roll for the grand lodge faction card earlier?

Thanks for GM'ing, Bold Strider. Nice 'moody' scenario, although I had initially expected there would be more interaction with the Aspis. A pity that the scenario didn't keep the emphasis there.
I'll be tweaking some aspects on Mariel in the coming days. She's turned out far too shy for ranks in Perform, and I don't think she's done anything to suggest she's proficient with the elven curved blade. :*)
Continuing from the gameplay thread: How does it work, with some people leveling while I'm still level 1? Are we OK to continue with this group in subtier 1-2, or are we bumped up to subtier 3-4?
Fingalad, it seems you rolled for the Grand Lodge faction card earlier. Unfortunately, it failed...

I am definitely going to have to gain two levels in ninja for Vanishing trick. Almost seems needed with the Slayer to benefit more from Study Target and Sneak Attack. At least the more Sneak attacks i am able to do then I am able to benefit from using Studied Target as an immediate action.

Vanishing trick? I'll have to check that out...

Still not happy with secondary trait choice. Been really busy the last few days and will be through the weekend. If you guys are ready to start I can make a final choice.

Yep, Craft is valid for Day job checks.
I'm also not settled on my tweaking, still need a new feat instead of Exotic weapon proficiency. If we can hold off until after the weekend, that would work well for me, too.

hey, thanks for the game all, and the GMing bold strider.
However i'm going to step out of the rest of the scenarios - I'm not managing to get a healthy work/life balance i'm afraid. I figure with evaldane having been blinded he'll have a good reason to stop. Therefore i'm happy for him to foot the whole 'cure blind' bill. i may come back to pfs in a few months, but also may not...
i'd still like the chronicle sheet just in case 85932-2.
thanks again for the game and i wish you luck for part 2!

Sorry to see you go Eveladene. It was fun playing with you.

Updates finalized. Perception and Init are both +5 now.
Day Job for part 2: (Craft, bows) OR Write a report to the Society: 1d20 ⇒ 11+6 for day job, +3 for report
With only two level ups, we are still in Subtier 1-2!

Ah-ha! I should have done this last time (I won't retcon it). The "day job" bit is just my fallback if I can't check something else off the faction card. In this case, we are adventuring outside Absalom. I'll be checking that one off this time around, unless I accomplish a more difficult item from the list.

Chronicles for Part II are live!
Once everyone confirms that you have received and updated characters as well as posting any level ups and changes to Perception and Initiative, then we will start Part III!

Raevin is about to level up... I'm gonna tweak him a little, and then do the level. Gimme a day or so - next couple of days are gonna be crazy busy for me, but I should find time to do it soon.
No worries! Probably be about 3 to 5 days until everyone gets situated anyway, so you should be good!

Checking off the "adventure outside absalom" box AND trying and failing to write a report to the society (see above).

Chronicle looks good. Do you think we could call letting that last Derro survive as completing this on my faction card?
"Alternatively, allow an enemy combatant with no means of escape to flee without further harm."
Thanks for the run! Can't wait to see how this wraps up!
I am updated, but will probably make a purchase or two - just not sure what yet.

It's going to take me a couple of days to get Bevek leveled up. He's moving up to 4th level, so it's a pretty significant change.

Never mind. I found some time. Bevek is leveled up and ready to go.
Note the increases in initiative and perception bonuses.

Thanks, Bold Strider. I got the chronicle.
I'm not quite happy with Mariel, am considering a rebuild to Shaman. Last few days have been quite hectic at work, so I just need to find a quiet evening to do the rebuild.

I have finished the rebuild, the final one this time. I've applied one chronicle of GM credit, which bumps me up to level 2.
Changed stats: Initiative +0, Perception +9
Bold Strider, is there any down-time between adventure II and III? A couple of days passing in-game would help me to explain the changes that Mariel underwent.

Raevin is ready to go for second level... no change in init... perception is 5 now.
@Mariel: I can give two weeks between scenarios! Does that work?

Sure, two weeks works fine.

When will we start part III? Everyone has checked in, right?
Monday! Usually give until the following Monday to get started on a new scenario if it is a follow-up. :D
On that note, here is the part from the Guide talking about Subtiers. "In order to determine which subtier a mixed-level group of PCs must play in, calculate the group’s average party level (APL). Divide the total number of character levels by the number of characters in the party. You should always round to the nearest whole number. "If you are exactly at 0.5, let the group decide which subtier they wish to play."
Our APL is 2.5 and the subtiers are 1-2 and 3-4. Which subtier does everyone wish to play in?

Sweet. :)
I think the first two ones were quite easy, in terms of combat. I'd be up for high subtier on this one.
Current condition: two negative levels Rogue 2/Inquisitor 2; HP 17/17 27; AC 18 (T 14 , FF 14); Init +8 ; Fort +5, Ref +6 , Will +6; Per +10
I'm comfortable with the high tier, but I'm also the most experienced character. Let those closer to the low end have a stronger vote than me.

High tier! I prefer a challenge. And we get better loot that way, don't we?

Emmett seems to be an Alias of Conloach. You're switching characters? Will that influence our APL?

I'm on holiday for the coming week. Should have access to WiFi, or Wayfinder if all else fails. I think I'll be able to make a daily post, but they might be a bit shorter than regular. If I miss a day, please don't hold up the story on my account.

I am going to be out of town from 9/6 to 9/12 with no internet access. Feel free to bot Bevek, or use his resources.
I am leaving for vacation to North Carolina tomorrow evening and I will be gone until the 4th of October. I should still be able to update every day, but some days might prove inconsistent.

In the last few months the number of computer-using adults has gone up to 3 (from 2) and the number of working computers has gone from 5 to 1. And I've been looking for a job when I'm not watching the kids (since my wife has increased her hours to compensate). That's why my posting rate has fallen off.

Chronicles!
Gave you all Take 10s on your Day Jobs. If you wanted to roll or do something else, let me know.
Part IV will start soon!
Update me with any changes in Perception/Initiative and levels!
Hope the storyline is coming together for you guys! :D
