AOO 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13
Damage 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Also known in the gambling scene as "SNAKE EYESSSS."
But, also, the GM thread for this is ramping up nicely with developer and writer comments about all the things cut from the scenario. Should make for a nicer, more coherent experience.
As a side note; my place of work finally blocked Paizo after more than year of me working there. It might not be permanantly blocked, as I think I've seen this before, but this might also just be the first stage of grief. Not sure.
Regardless, that just means during-the-day posts will be more jilted than normal, but will cancel nothing.
Ha, oops; I forgot it was Varisian Sorcerers that give up Eskew Comps; not Wild blooded. Replace all instances of "components pouch" with "blade" to continuity. If were in the edit window, I'll fix mine.
Actually, she's asking for one of those random pouches he has; she doesn't know how spells work beyond what the elders and city have 'taught' her, do ho ho.

PCs with particularly exotic appearances (such as native outsiders) may be questioned or searched more thoroughly, and have their weapons peace-bonded.
I have FAR more fun ideas than that.
The one upside to those "Reference Encounter X for this statblock" for ever possible fight means it's easy to assume what any npc's stats should be like.
@Shin: Is Shin actually from this city? I didn't see any backstory stuff in your profile. Because despite a diplomacy check of 1 and having a -5 to all Cha checks for casting [cold] spells, that won't mean that, like, your family avoids you (if you are from here.) This area is too far east to be very good for Crown of the World travel, so I kind of guessed otherwise, but I can (and often am) wrong.
Given your cold affinity and heritage, Icestair sounds perfect.
Icestair: The largest permanent settlement in the realm, Icestair exists at the base of a glacial wall that links to the Crown of the World. The wall is marked here by a wide set of human-sized steps, carved into the ice and overlaid with heavy blocks of volcanic stone, that wind up the face of the sheer ice sheet. Great winches are mounted at the glacier’s edge above, and are used to lower wagons and sledges that survived the perilous crossing from the Successor States. Icestair is run by Po La the Bureaucrat. Po La claims to have been a civil officer in the service of the Fire Empress Zai Ming until he ran afoul of that ruler’s daughter and was forced to f lee for his life. Whether or not this tale is true, he and his assistants arrange for well-armed guides to aid merchants in traveling through the hostile regions that surround the Realm of the Mammoth Lords, and also oversee the upkeep of the Icestair, carving new steps when the old ones erode, and replacing those winches that collapse. In the perennial cold of the region, strengthened by the cryomantic enchantments of the Witch Queen, such collapses are not as common as they might otherwise be. The recent loss of Sarkoris to the Worldwound has significantly hindered the once-lucrative trade route through Icestair, for now there is no reliable or safe route to civilization. Po La constantly works to secure arrangements with the orcs to the south for safe passage, often allowing them to hunt megafauna in return.
BRUTE SQUAD DIPLOMACY*!
ROLL 20s WHEN WE ALREADY AUTO-SUCCEEDED BY PURE OVERSIGHT! THEN BEAT EVERYTHING ELSE TO A PULP!
Subject to variance, if there's Abadarans, Dragons, and/or Inquisitors around.
Yeah, I think local covers humanoids and monstrous humanoids(?)
That is indeed the case. I just simply HATE the existence of "Monstrous Humanoid" and "Humanoid (Weird-ass creature-like thing that happens to have 2 legs.)" Where is that line drawn, really? I mean, there's so many weird humanoids that they should just really ALL be humanoids. One Type, One Love.
Ha! That guy.
There might be. Just know that if there is a shdered on this sheet, that is it privy to being taken away, despite being certed.
@Erin: Reference
"Well boys, do you feel like killing a beast demon, a filth demon, or both?" Erin says, confidently addressing the group.
Semi-free-form-ity! Gone are the hardline rails of PFS, having been replaces with bumper car walls, allowing a little more leeway!
Sorry for the delay. I'm trying to get everything that needs water done before something eventually freezes.

Erin is not a Llama with the Young template... :( Can I use my Shirt Reroll*?
*The answer is super-no, like 3 times over.
But you'd have a Spit attack!
The bigger question is... would you have made the Will?
Oh noooooo. I forgot to use his piddly DC 14 Quickened Unnatural Lust to try to make Erin make out with Shin.
It's funnier when you're a dumb animal with a butts Will save, admittedly.
He originally would have done it because she'd have the llama ladyparts to make Fiendish Llama Demon babies in the future. This time it's just because she did 100+ damage in one round.
But as for the scaledown for 7-8...
The kithangian commands the fiendish animals to charge the PCs—an act that likely triggers one or more of the hazards. It then uses its mobility to engage one or more PCs in melee, changing into its true form during its turn. It uses its melee attacks and spell-like abilities to sow confusion and slay its foes, though it endeavors to keep one animal companion or mount alive. It does not hesitate to step on a geyser, trusting its resistances to absorb the punishment.
Make the following changes to the encounter to accommodate a party of only four PCs:
Subtier 7–8: Remove the fiendish aurochs from the encounter.
Well, golly. When you build the entire set of tactics around making the herd suicide charge over the landmines, then get rid of them, you kind of don't have tactics anymore.
Tactics: None
I mean, the high-tier one makes more sense. This module actually has a lot more sensical stuff in the higher tier (though editing still ravaged the heck outta this thing as a whole. The writer is throwing notes into the DM thread, though, so it's all okay now.)
And break DR, which was his issue last time.
I typed up that whole post when you didn't kill him with the single attack. :(
Given that I think you've only adventured with one other woman (Amira), you're the Partiest Girl you've ever been in a Party with.
Given the weather (and that I normally wouldn't anyways), I intend no blame. I've just been amused by those little sad faces as of the last hour or so.
The fact you have another ally who is willing to provoke to eat up AoOs to get it cast without concentration helps, too.
