There's a quick note in Hassam's header, and I'll post about it in game play occasionally but Hassam has the Flagbearer feat and the Banner of Ancient Kings
Meaning that while within 30 feet of Hassam, all Pathfinders get a +2 Morale Bonus on attack rolls, damage rolls and saving throws against fear and charm. And a +2 resistance bonus on saves against mind-affecting (although I suspect everybody by this level has at least a +2 resistance bonus)

*cough*
Guess I win the last spot =)
As for the questionnaire...
1. not sure what a 'scarab sages' boon is classified as, but since I'm not that faction, probably none! =)
2. Sickly has 2 Mendevian Commendations. He also has two bonus feats (Endurance and Die Hard)
3. Just his starting languages + giant and undercommon
4. NG, but nothing he has is alignment or code dependent.
5. Umm.... 1 I think (the Year of the Shadow Lodge special chronicle, you had to pick one of 3 options)
6. No relationship to dragons... in fact he's probably allergic to them.
7. Nothing that's marked on a chronicle as such
8. No strong undead connections, though they are notorious disease vectors, so he tries to avoid them!
9. Not really... though he is naturally resistant to heat (including DR 2/fire, and endure elements to heat (Extreme Endurance class ability)
10. Sickly played none of the listed scenarios.

I have of Gust of Wind already prepared.
The scrolls of Remove Disease and Remove Curse cost 375 gp each. Thanks to PFS rules anyone can use them as long as it's on your spell list, so Ruprecht Antillious can use Remove Disease (as an Alchemist) and my familiar can use Remove Curse (as a Sorcerer). I will buy one scroll of each for myself so only ask for them from Grandmaster Torch if you want duplicates.
Life Bubble, Breath of Life, Searing Light and Magic Circle against Evil are good scrolls we could use.
EDIT: I typed this before I read the gameplay post. I'm going to buy these items for myself anyway.
I can buy the scrolls of Remove Disease and Remove Curse. Each scroll costs 375 gp apiece. I'll pay for both of them now.
Ruprecht Antillious can use the Remove Disease scroll since it's an alchemist extract, right? Otherwise Cirri's Familiar can make a DC 28 UMD check (he has +14) to activate the scroll.
Remove Curse is a Sorcerer spell, so my familiar can try to use the scroll (he's only a level 3 sorcerer so he'll need to make a Caster Level check.)
By PFS rules I can buy the level 3 Cleric versions of these scrolls, but anyone can use the scroll if it's on their class's spell list.

I can hold onto the Scroll of Magic Circle against Evil. Once we reach the ruins I'll let Riddywhipple use it.
Loxx should hold onto the scroll of Life Bubble. He has a better chance of making the Caster Level check than Riddywhipple.
Scrolls or potions of Remove Curse/Disease/Blindness will be useful. You can cast Remove Disease as a druid, so you can hold onto Cirri's scroll if you'd like.
I don't know how most of the party fights (Melee, Support, Ranged?) but I can adjust my spells for ranged attacks if desired.

Other than the alchemist, most of our damage is concentrated in melee. Your front-liners are barbarians.
With a caster level of 5, scrolls remove cure/remove disease are not as likely to work at this tier, so I wouldn't count on them.
I'll buy the following:
Scroll of Remove disease (375 gp)
Scroll of Remove blindness/deafness (375 gp)
Scroll of Restoration (800 gp)
Scroll with 5 castings of lesser restoration (2 PP)
Total 1550 gp/2 PP

I don't know how most of the party fights (Melee, Support, Ranged?) but I can adjust my spells for ranged attacks if desired.
Hassam provides +5s to hit/damage most of the time from inspire courage/flagbearer and is no slouch with melee damage from his longspear. Not uncommon for him to enlarge himself via a potion.

As we head into combat, a couple of reminders.
Make sure you have your spells for the day listed.
Keep up with AC, Saves, CMD as spells and conditions are applied and list them in your header. That's the number I'll use.
I treat initiative order as such and resolve actions in that order. I will delay actions as needed to accomplish what you tell me you want to do (i.e gathering together for a spell)
Please roll any saves or checks I ask for before the rest of your actions. Make any other rolls in the natural order they occur in. Confirmation rolls can come after the attack or after all attacks, just be consistent.
Let me know if I miss something about your character.
Thanks!

Yeah, this scenario is pretty harsh. I'm trying to give you every chance I can to help out, but this is the capstone for the scarab sages, so I guess the authors wanted it to be memorable.
On another topic, I haven't seen any posts from Nikomedes since the start of the year. I sent him a PM a week ago about it (when I needed a save from him), but I haven't received a reply. It's probably too late to get another player involved at this point in the scenario (although we are still in full credit territory in my mind), but it is something to consider.
