Astronomers have marveled as the famous comet Aucturn's Tear once more soars through the solar system, yet this cycle, strange portals have begun opening on each planet the comet passes, and a powerful entity trapped on the other side of these gateways desperately calls for help. To the Pathfinder Society, this is a once-in-a-human-lifetime opportunity to discover what lies through these portals—and either free the captive trapped within or ensure that it remains sealed forever.
Hello everyone to my table, everyone!
The Cosmic Captive scenario is a multi-table interactive adventure in which each group's actions contribute to the entire room's success.
The adventure will then begin the 9th of June 2017!
Please check in and provide the usual:

Any boon or specialty you use with your character that I should be aware of?
I like to keep my games moving so I'll ask you to post once a day and to say if, for whatever reasons, you can't do so. Thank you! :)
Please report your perception and initiative modifiers in the second slide of the handouts.

Character Name: Grag
PFS #: 20638-21
Faction: grand lodge
Dayjob: N/A
Any boon or specialty you use with your character that I should be aware of? I make use of the Charge Through feat which may be a little harder to use in a play by post. I think we can make it work by having me place a charge line of where I would like to go and then have you move my character if I'm successful on the overrun. I'll have to go back and look at my boons to see if there is anything you should be aware of.
I'll have the character sheet transferred to my Avatar later today when I get home.
Role Play stuff:
Grag is an interesting personality. He starts of as a bit of a stereotype, a little judgemental and pretty gruff. But he can be quick to see the error in his ways. He values martial proficiency above all else. After a battle or two he is likely to warm to just about any party member (provided they did not simply run away). He considers himself a student of battle, and while his party member's ways may not be his ways, that does not mean they are not effective.
I look forward to some fun role play opportunities with Jorciel, playing off of our similarities (martially focused divine casters) and our differences (alignment/outlook on life).
Grag is likely to like being around Orophin (even if he won't openly admit it) in a Gimli to Legolas type of way. But who knows perhaps Orophin can puts some cracks in Grag's "tough guy" demeanor? (Grag knows that respecting a healer is important in his profession)
Grag respects martial proficiency, Rallas may be "just an elf" but Grag is likely to change his mind about Rallas after a combat or two. Judging by Rallas's stats, the elf knows where to put a blade.
Tomoe, your character walks a very different path than Grag. But if your path proves effective (I bet it will), Grag will certainly be intrigued by it. Perhaps you can teach him some of your ways?
Dunia, that is a very interesting character. I'm not sure what Grag's initial thoughts on you will be. I look forward to Grag coming to understand you.
I'm not sure if we are constrained by special rules or if the scenario would make it unlikely, but if it makes sense and is permitted, can we start posting in character in the gameplay thread? It would be nice to get to know each other before the action kicks off.
If it is permitted and it does make sense story wise, can you give us the setting so we know where we are meeting?
If not, no worries, I look forward to starting on the 9th!

Player Name or alias: Cwethan
Character Name: Dunia Mbani
PFS #: 182453-2
Faction: Scarab Sages
Dayjob: None
Any boon or specialty you use with your character that I should be aware of?: Dunia can spellstrike and spell combat a lot like a Magus; she has a reach weapon, combat reflexes, and her allies won't block her opportunity attacks; she sounds kinda like Gambit.
Role Play stuff:
Dunia is very reserved with new people unless her blood is running hot. She views her work with the Pathfinders as Very Important, and doesn't appreciate what she sees as excess levity. But she's also a bit of a complainer until the chips are down.
She doesn't view her manipulation of spirit-stuff as particularly odd, and can be caught quite off guard by other people who do.
She has had good experiences with Paladins and Gorum's Templars in the past, so she'll likely start off giving Grag and Jorciel the benefit of the doubt, even if she'll have to remind herself to keep doing so if they prove boisterous (especially Grag).

Well, the PC's Hard Disk is dead.... I am trying now to salvage any data that I can from it since some of that Data is worth $4,000..... Luckily I have back-ups.
Side note... The data is used for a Kickstarter that's going Live in just under 3 hours.... So it's one of those days...

Several notices as we begin the adventure:
1) everyone paid the 1 pp, I'm glad not to have to handle those terrible rules ^^
2) I'm usually slow on week-end but I'll do my best.
3) I live in Western Europe so you may have to wait a little bit if you live in the USA. I usually post in the morning and in the afternoon.
4) If you experience difficulties to post, please me. My policy is the following during a special: after 24 hours without news of you in a fight, I'll post an action for you. Of course, I won't use limited abilities or spells, except if explicitly asked to do so.
5) @Grag: I'll take time tomorrow to look this feat of yours and see how we can make the best use of it into pbp.
6) I hope you'll have fun playing this game!
Let's begin the adventure! :)
Hey all, GM Hmm here. There’s been a crazy site outage going on for most Paizo users. For some reason I can get in while connected to mobile, so I’m just letting you know what is going on. Your GMs are trying to get back in and will post as soon as they are able.
Thanks for your patience!

The protection from evil was not a bad idea, but we should not have expected an effect unless the controller (the elemental) was evil.
This second effect only functions against spells and effects created by evil creatures or objects, subject to GM discretion.
I'm not sure if the elemental is evil but most aren't.
That said, it was still worth a shot.

You can use acrobatics to crawl 5' without provoking.
In addition, you can move through a threatened square without provoking an attack of opportunity from an enemy by using Acrobatics. When moving in this way, you move at half speed. You can move at full speed by increasing the DC of the check by 10. You cannot use Acrobatics to move past foes if your speed is reduced due to carrying a medium or heavy load or wearing medium or heavy armor. If an ability allows you to move at full speed under such conditions, you can use Acrobatics to move past foes. You can use Acrobatics in this way while prone, but doing so requires a full-round action to move 5 feet, and the DC is increased by 5.

I need to get around and transfer Celie to full online. What Celie might do next has been a long running RP of hers. Al started with a turtle and a foolish paladin. Celie
Hello Cosmonauts!
The lovely staff at Paizo gave me 15 ten-dollar gift certificates to distribute across the Cosmic Captive Special. Alas, we have 25 tables, so not every table can win one. In order to pick winners, I’m hosting a Cosmic Giveaway!
The Rules:
You cannot nominate yourself. You cannot pick me. Pick someone else (fellow player, GM, backup GM) who made your experience of Cosmic Captive fun! Tell me why!
You can submit only one name, but you can make a submission on the above link from now until July 9th.
Some names will likely get chosen because of the stories you tell me. Some may get selected in a random lottery. I’ll try to spread the love around to as many different tables as I can.
Hugs,
Hmm
