Heya kids, here be your discussion thread.
I'm Dien! I'll be your captain for this flight. Remember to buckle up and follow the instructions of a flight attendant. In the event of a TPK please see to your own PP first!
A few things:
-Maps will be handled using Google Drawings. If you cannot normally access Google Drawings, PLEASE TELL ME NOW. It seems like there's always someone who halfway into the first combat tells me "I can't use the map." It's one thing if you can't access it at work or something but can check it later and just need someone to move you in the moment, but it's not fun for the whole scenario.
-I will roll initiatives for you, occasionally perception, and usually saves; please make sure you have any unusual bonuses/etc clearly listed on your sheets.
-This is a Season 0, so yeah, y'all prolly gonna curbstomp it.
Given this is a relatively low-level game, I doubt anybody has anything too weird, but, standard disclaimer; If you have any cool, unusual, bizarre, complicated, or strange abilities or senses, lemme know now. This would be things like 'immediate actions to force rerolls' (actually immediate actions in general since they can be complicated in PBP), special senses like tremorsense or other weird stuff, aaaaand anything else you think worth mentioning.
-Gameplay will start sometime in the next few days, once I'm satisfied I've prepped sufficiently. The table mustered pretty quick, so we'll likely begin before the original date of Friday.
-I try to ask for a post a day, with acceptable slow-downs over the weekend. As the GM, I will try and keep things moving, of course, but I'm no particular rush to get it done, either. If you need to be done with this by [some important date], I'd suggest you either pick a different character or yield your spot to another player or the like, because I don't really enjoy having to rush through a PBP, as I like building atmosphere and exploring RP. If you haven't posted in 24 hours (48 on weekends), I reserve the right to bot you if we're waiting on you.
Go ahead and post your PFS #, faction, player and character name, and, if you like, your day job check. I know lots of people like to use re-rolls on those if not used in the scenario itself, so if you roll it now but don't use the re-roll in the course of the scenario you may still roll it again at the end.
Any questions?
(Oh, we are playing 4-5, but GM V, if you want to bring your Level 3 Wizard that should be fine. The party is all solidly in tier aside from that and.... it's Season 0, so yeah.)

With the addition of Rogar the Bard, I will opt for the Pharasmin warpriest.
PFS: 21019-4
Faction: Silver Crusade
Player: Andrew Trexler
Character: Idgethun the Silent
No day job
Perception: +6 (darkvision 60ft)
Initiative: +2
Unusual Abilities:
Step Up feat, which I will always use to follow a caster or archer unless it pulls me away from a HVT caster or archer. I usually use it against a melee type too, so assuming it is probably best.
Saves: Odd benefits from a +2 to saves against death effects, negative energy, energy drain, and spells and spell-like abilities of the necromancy school.
Need to make a few purchases and reset to my average daily spell choice.
Looks like everyone's checked in. I will probably start the gameplay thread some point on the 24th (likely later in the day, as I'm PST and often don't post til evening.) Feel free to do any further updating or whatever you might need.
Sorry for the delay, the Humble Bundle thing has really just managed to screw me over when trying to post. Working on post now.
Sleepy GM had work deadline; will post later today.
Not a problem; the weekends are always slow for me anyway, and I had a work deadline of my own (still do, lol).
Yes, it is a silly scene.
Sorry, guys, had family arrive yesterday and the day got busy. I meant to post in the evening and fell asleep instead. Going to post now.
Except she's an elf, not a human.
Ah, thanks. That'll do it.

Okay.
I'm not buying it.
They've killed my sense of immersion here.
How could someone who has to pretty much dance on the keys every day to make the music not trigger undead invasions be healed up with a single Cure Light? =P
I mean, seriously, the sort of person that would be doing that would have to be like, a marathon runner or something, that worked out on the side, and...

Yah, scenes like this are pretty much what Jal was made for. :D
Given what we've seen from the Scenario so far (and what I hear from older Scenarios in general), I'm guessing Artoria was right that we could have just blasted our way through the front door. But its sure fun to get to actually flex your character's muscles when the opportunity presents itself.
Haha, it's all good.
Given that Kara's post is a questioning signal to Jal, I'll give Jal a chance to weigh in before taking matters into my own glorious hands~
We'll probably wind this scenario up in pretty short order, though, unless something unexpected happens.

Actually, that's what I suggested the two rogues wait for a bit. By handwaving that waiting, the others could charge, drawing the baddies' attention fully away from us. It would likely also reveal how many others might be in those closed doors, and the two of us could come and hit them from behind while they're prepping to engaging the group.
i think that'd lessen the post count (and inherent wait time) between now and the big confrontation, while also setting us to be able to ambush them from behind.

Neither I nor Artoria has any particular problem with you guys being sneaky (not to say that she likes skullduggery, but she has the paladin oaths to be honorable, not you two, and she's smart enough to know that). Both of us merely thought it was unnecessary.
I'm fine with whatever, as I have played this before in core. I just wish I had known ahead of time that you were planning on two-manning the building, not simply scouting. It's simply better form ;)
Sorry for the delay, Sundays are usually busy for me and then today I got saddled with babysitting small familial units. Post coming sometime in the next few hours.
Let me know if I fudged yours up or you can't access it or something.
