Hello everyone!
This makes things easier for me and for you. Edit the profile of your character and insert the following information in the "classes/levels" section so that it appears under your name for quick reference when you are posting.
HP | AC | T | FF | CMD | Fort | Ref | Will | Init | Perc | Sense Motive
Thanks and we'll get started next weekend or early next week!
Also, make sure you have a PFS # and post that on here. If this is your first character there will be a ###-1 after it, if it is your second character a ###-2, etc.
If you don't have a PFS number yet, go to your account and click on "Pathfinder Society". You can get your own PFS # there.
Thanks!

Checking in. I hope you got my PM, EndlessForms. Since I'm running a Pre-gen, should I give you the number of the character that I want to apply this sheet to? Also, what happens if I die with a pre-gen character? Will it have an effect on the character that I want to apply this scenario to? Sorry, a lot of questions.
I'll have this apply to : 64554-1, Desmond Aesculus (that name should be familiar)

When you play a pregen at higher levels, you can do two things: you can hold on to the credit until the character it was applied to reaches the appropriate level (level 7 in this case) or you can have the GM cross out the gold and give you 500 GP and you can apply it to a level 1 character.
If a pregen dies, I can report it under a different number (i.e. not one currently attached to a character) and then report that character as dead. So that number will automatically be dead for you and you'll skip over it when you create your next character.
So if you have one character currently and then your pregen dies, I report it as ###-2 being dead. Then your next character you create will automatically be ###-3.
Hmmm. Wizard and Rogue thus far. I think I'll play the Barbarian pregen from the NPC Codex. I'll create an alias for her tonight and get the appropriate stats posted.
Ok, I think we're waiting to see what Kuduro wants to play and whether Aurenus' gunslinger is actually legal. He hasn't responded yet and I have a feeling he rolled that character up from scratch without consulting PFS rules, but I could be wrong. Maybe it's just a really well built character.
Checking in, PFS 9783-1.
@EndlessForms since you are GM you have to be nicer about it, but that is clearly an 'illegal' character for PFS without question. :)
Well, yeah. If you spent all of your money on belts and headbands and you're an aasimar maybe, but I have a feeling they rolled that character up without realizing that PFS is different than any pick-up game.

Just to throw it out there, I'd be more than happy to play one of the other pre-gen characters if the party feels that it would be better for the overall group. A "face" type character or anything else for that matter would be fine with me. Since it is a pre-gen I'm not really emotionally invested in the character class.
Gameplay thread is open! It's a long post but there was a lot of background that needed to be explained. For those of you not familiar, the theme of Season 3 of PFS was getting ready for the Ruby Phoenix Tournament, where the Pathfinders hoped to win access to legendary artifacts and prizes, in addition to gaining worldwide fame.
Don't worry about that. It adds you automatically when you start posting.

Ok, a couple questions, as this is my first shot at PbP:
1. When speaking "OOC", is there a specific format that is generally acceptable to use in the game thread? Such as italics, underlined, etc.?
2. How do you format or perform skill roles and how to do you that nify "hide" feature I saw in Phos' post?
I'm also assuming when it gets down to a combat situation there is some sort of way to handle the "tactical" side, such as movement, areas of effect, etc.? Having a hard time wrapping my brain around how that would actually work.
Thanks! :)
Look down & you'll see the words "How to format your text" with a 'Show' button. Click that show button & most of the common tags are there.

Yep, check below. Out-of-character text is blue and uses the [ooc] tag. Spoilers are made by [spoiler=Phos], etc.
Note that it is bad form to read spoilers not addressed to you.
When we come to combat we'll be using Roll20 for maps. Basically you will move your token around on Roll20 for positioning (and you can even draw boxes and lines and whatnot for area effects) and post your actions and dice rolls on here. Most people like to track their HP in their header or in OOC text each time they post during combat so that everyone else can see how hurt they are.
A note on spells: if you are casting a spell that I need to roll something for (e.g. making the bad guy roll a Will save), make sure you make it clear in your post what you are casting, what type of save I need to roll, and what the DC is. It's helpful to include what happens if I fail too so I don't have to look the spell up. Less work for the GM is always a good thing, I have enough to handle without looking up how everone's spells work. I'm familiar with the common ones but once in a while an obscure one comes up.
I will link to the Roll20 campaign at the top of the page for easy access once I have it set up and we get to combat, which will likely be soon. I'll update tonight.
Busy now, I will update late tonight hopefully. If it rains in the next couple days I'll get the day off and then will be online most of the day and hopefully we can move along faster then. We'll definitely move faster after this week because I won't be stuck in a field without internet for 12 hours a day.
I'm usually much faster with updates but I'm visiting my parents this week and that means helping on the farm. Also, I'm running four other PbPs so it takes a while each night to update all of them.
Could you guys make up a marching order? Last fight it wasn't too important because it was a big open map but from now on I want to be more careful with how I place you when we move to new maps.
Ok, I'll say you grabbed them and brought them back to her.
It's easy enough to forget stuff when you're playing, especially on a PbP when there might be a few weeks between getting the assignment and carrying it out. And when GMing a PbP I sometimes have to push things just to keep it moving.

Sorry Kuduro for stepping in with my own diplomacy check. With a higher-level scenario I wasn't sure a 24 would make it. I originally planned to do an assist, but figured heck, with a +9 diplomacy and a +4 from my diviner's fortune, I've got a pretty good shot at a great check, so I decided to do a full diplomacy check, and it worked out. I suppose I could have fudged it, so it wasn't a very smart move really.
Also, the sideways jab was an in-character interpretation of Phos, not a personal thing. OOC I really like your descriptiveness of your evangelical character, but Phos is too "scientifically-minded" to appreciate such devout proselytizing.
We've got a pretty good group of consistent posters here. Since we'll be coming up to the last combat soon and then just have to wrap things up (including at least one faction mission), I thought I'd offer to maybe keep going with a new scenario for you guys once this one is finished. Here's a few I have in mind:
3-20 The Rats of Round Mountain Part I: The Sundered Path (7-11)
3-22 The Rats of Round Mountain Part II: Pagoda of the Rat (7-11)
3-26 Portal of the Sacred Ruin (7-11)
Let me know if you guys have already played any of these. Playing through the Rats of Round Mountain series could be fun. Unless someone is going to level up to 10 after this there are also a lot of 5-9 scenarios available.
