It's just a document where you track your expenditures. You're required to keep one for any purchases beyond a few gold pieces. If you didn't already have one please put one together and send it to me.
I linked an example in my previous post.
Thanks Kynrac and Karu. I'm going to be sending PMs out.

Feral showed me a FAQ that says that a +1 Brawling Mithral Breastplate isn't legal tender in PFS, so now I must get rid of this armor that the poor Champion of Irori has had since level 6.
Coincidentally, it coincides with the steep increase in the price (+1 enchant to +3).
I'm thinking of just going +2 or +3 Mithral Breastplate and a Body Wrap of Mighty Strikes +2 (to make up for the loss to my attack and damage).
Thoughts? Concerns? Questions?
I want to like the body wrap but I just feel like it's too poorly designed. Why do you have to pay a premium for a magic weapon that doesn't even work on all your attacks?
Do you feel like Karu badly needs the brawling enchantment? I didn't get the impression his attack bonus and damage output was under par.
I have a similar character (a monk/paladin) in PFS and I ended up opting out of armor entirely. Mage armor + full charisma + wisdom + monk AC bonus + flurry was worth it in my opinion and it allowed me to invest that coin into other defenses and/or offense. Plus it makes it easier to show off your sick abs. =P
I just need ITS from Markavious and finalized adjustments from the folks I PMed and we'll be good to go.

Here is a sheet, I gave this my best guess on some of this stuff
PFS #107703-1 Faction:Silver Crusade
Character Chronicle # # of items Chron Source
Item Value (gp) Bought Sold Expended or charges # used Sheet Ref
Belt Con +2 4k 2k 9
Belt: Con +4 16k 21
Cloak +2 4k 2k 12
Cloak +5 25K 33
Headband: Int/Wis +2 10k 15
Headband: Int/Wis +4 40k 30
Ring:Invisibility 20k 27
Ioun Stone +2 Dex 8k 18
Handy Haversack 2k 9
Rod: Persistent(Lesser) 9k 24
Wand:CSW 11.3 50 17 33
Mark, that'll do for now but I suggest you either start keeping a physical ITS like the ones Kynrac uses or a digital spreadsheet like Karu has.
I'll get a post up in gameplay in a bit.
I edited my post to answer Kynrac's questions.
Mark, I'm not sure you know quite how that spell works.
It lasts for 4 hours once you activate it but it doesn't activate until you trigger it. Do you cast it and trigger it right away? If not, what's the trigger?
Also, it mirror images everyone within 60 feet once it's active, friend and foe alike.
Please post your remaining stoneskin if you get hit.
More ninja edits!
Does Karu have a boon that grants access to that spell? Mighty Fist of the Earth is normally an oread racial spell.

You're too quick and Wayfinder is too slow. (But still invaluable)
Why would I need a boon? All oread stuff in the ARG is legal per the additional resources.

Not quite. Stuff from that book is restricted to race.
Note: Alternate racial traits, racial archetypes, racial evolutions, racial feats, and racial spells are only available for characters of the associated race. Racial equipment and magic items can be purchased and used by any race as long as the specific item permits it (for example, only halflings can purchase and use solidsmoke pipeweed).
Those would have been useful!
I'm not sure what you're asking Karu.
Kol Voss was a barbarian with 10 int if you're curious. He moved and attacked (I described it as a charge but he didn't actually charge) one guy. It's not like he charged into the middle of a mob. Is that considered 'headlong into danger'? What did you expect him to do?

I'm asking because we will probably lose a Campaign Point or Prestige Point for his death and it was unilaterally decided that he die in a single post with no possibility of intervention based on "Hurr durr. I'mma barbarian." logic.
An animal companion was cut down in a single blow. One of the frontliners readied a strike when he approached. The other missed. So Voss charges in. Eats an Aoo. Then eats a full attack and die before we can react as everyone acts warily to the threat. He negates my action and then dies because of GM fiat. Is it legal? Sure. Does it leave a bad taste in the mouth? For me, yes.
-Posted with Wayfinder
Sigh.
I didn't really consider the campaign point implications but, upon review, I can confirm that Kol Voss's death has no impact there. I didn't 'decide' that he died. He attacked the one enemy within range because that's the only thing he could feasibly do. He didn't know Karu had some clever plan and Karu made no effort to explain it to him. Even if Voss hadn't moved adjacent, Skelg would have picked randomly from between the rest of you that are on the ground so there's a strong chance Karu's ready would have been invalidated anyway.
If you really need to know, he didn't just 'eat an AoO'. Skelg is a high level barbarian with the Come and Get It rage power. That reveal was and is intended to be a bit of surprise. Yes, the timing of initiative worked in a such a way that there was little anyone could do to save him but that's just the way initiative works sometimes.
There was no GM fiat or iffy rules call here. The barbarian NPC attacked the one enemy that he could reach and died to the enemy full attack that followed. Everything was above board and I honestly do not appreciate whatever it is you're insinuating.
If it's that upsetting to you, I'm willing to do some retconning.
#1 You guys could have included him in the stoneskin. Someone would need to pay Kol Voss's share but that 10 hp per hit might save him.
#2 Kynrac could use divine intervention. Voss's AC is pretty anemic but a really low reroll might save him.
Ok, everyone. This game has gotten a little heated recently and this is not the first time. There have been complaints against the GM in game and out of game and while there is nothing wrong in questioning the GM or asking for a clarification , let's all remember to be cordial about it. You are welcome to discuss with the GM and your fellow players how something should be ruled and the GM should take your opinions into consideration but ultimately the GM is in charge of the game and in situations where there is no clear rule to decide the matter, the GM has the right to make a call and stick with it.
High-level play is often high-stakes and high-risk. Unfortunately this is too often accompanied by high tension and high drama. Yes, it is unfortunate that Voss died before we could do anything. There is nothing wrong with voicing your frustration or asking the GM to justify Voss' actions but again, let's remember to be cordial about it. I think the GM explained the rationale pretty clearly and has even been nice enough to offer a few options to help the situation, which he was not obligated to do.
So let's all try to make the rest of the game (and the series) a bit more enjoyable for everyone and be a bit nicer about our rules and tactics discussions! Thank you!

One of the reasons I enjoy PbP is the ability to play with folks you normally wouldn't have the opportunity to game with along with experiencing different styles of play.
I have not played with anyone nearly as well versed with the rules as Feral and it is taking me time to adjust.(I am used to a more beer and pretzel type game). However I can appreciate the change of style and for proving to me that PFS can be challenging.

Since we're speaking our minds, here's my 2 copper pieces.
I too am used to more relaxed games, where there isn't such a high amount of GM control and rules-lawyering. As a whole, I tend to appreciate the more casual attitude because it provides more fun - the very reason I'm playing Pathfinder in the first place.
More specifically, the rules-lawyering way of GMing makes me uncomfortable because I'm well aware that I don't master the system as well as Feral does, and thus it makes me afraid to lose my character just because I don't optimize my decision-making as well as Feral does for the NPCs.
While this can have a beneficial effect on the game (as Faldoc pointed out, the high-risk situation keeps us on our toes and makes a victory feel all the more rewarding for us), it also has the downside of creating an atmosphere of fear, where I feel that a single mistake could spell out the end of my character. I like the game dangerous, but when every opportunity is systematically used to make our life miserable (e.g. constant use of tripping by creatures with reach who don't have the feat just because the system allows them to), I don't enjoy it that much anymore. It's a fine line, and I agree it's much harder to do at higher levels because of the sheer amount of abilities, spells, action economy use, etc. I'm hoping that discussing it will help put the problems in perspective, and thus work towards solving them.
However, we all have different GMing and playing styles and we are who we are. As EF said the GM always has the final word, whether you agree or disagree. I'm very grateful for Feral to have agreed to pick up this game, and I have full confidence that we'll enjoy it until the end.

First, it does need to be said. Thank you for picking up the game after the departure of Tektite. The players you have here are all very strong players and you are a well- versed GM.
Second, I think my words misled you. I am not insinuating anything. I don't think you did anything iffy by the rules of Pathfinder or PFS. What you did was completely legal.
Third, I have not been spoiled for the scenarios, so I do not know Voss's importance, but I am well aware of PFS' obsession with lose a ton of gold and Prestige if you let a helper NPC die.
Fourth, my complaint was just that a round was spent where we all keep our distance and Voss failed to read the room. He charged in and died to a full attack, which is the expected result of his actions. Is that a plausible scenario? Definitely. Is it even plausible within a single GM post? Of course. Why does it leave a bitter taste in my mouth? The GM controls both characters and the one aiding us died (possibly affecting our Chronicle) due to bad tactics, having other options, not realizing that he is weaker than Skelg despite the rolling dog head, etc.
This is a critique, yes, but this single incident doesn't imply you are a bad GM or that I think you are a bad GM. Far from it, you know the rules and FAQS and errata far better than I know them. Please don't think that I am trying to undermine or mock or insinuate. I just wanted to bring it up before we moved away from it.
You are doing a great job of keeping everything in order and providing great role-playing even while in combat.

Yes indeed! I'm having a blast despite all of the canine parts flying about the place. :)
I do not GM Pathfinder/PFS so I have no experience on that end, however I don't mind a rules-heavy game and when I play in-person I tend to be more a roll-player than a role-player so PbP gives me the chance to try. I think you have done a wonderful job of explaining what has happened in these complicated fights. One day, I'll get to use an AoO properly, hehe.
The chase through the tunnels was a few minutes. Haste was down a long time ago. Also, the princess is on board!
Has anyone played #4 Frozen Fingers of Midnight with these characters? It has a tiny effect in the coming scene. Nobody acknowledged Skelg so I'm currently assuming that's a no.
We're approaching the end of this chapter. Please post day jobs now if you're so inclined.
