Hi Players my name is Miss Fiona. So it's really really warm here the two foots say something about mid-90s whatever that means, and I decided I didn't need this little black box next to my favorite sleeping space that was making it warmer. It's nice when its snowing and it makes it warmer but its already too warm. So I knocked it down, and my sleeping space went back to normal.
Then the two foots starting yelling and making a lot of clicy sounds on the keyboards and got really quiet and started looking at me, and not in the I'm so cute way either. Then one of them got on the talky box thing and had to wait a really long time, and that didn't seem to make them any happier but finally got to talk to another two foot. Who said something about holiday weekend. I don't know what that means other than a lot of people come and I get extra pettens.
Well this morning a nice guy who said it wasn't my fault, brought a new warm making box and the two foots put it not next to the sleeping spot. I got pettens and told it was ok, and they clicy blinky boxes that the humans spend time on went back to working.
So now the two foot gets to copy and paste this thing that has been sitting on the desktop since the two foot-mom variant has had it written but yelling at this 'ysoki' thing that looks like I should catch it, twofoot-mom says catching those are useful. But it seems trapped in the blinky box.

Oh yea - RE what to do next.
We've got 5 potential things to do. I say we really split the group.
*watches Nugats cringe uncontrollably*
Let's send one person to each thing, (well, 2 people to 1 thing) and see how many things we can do.
- Scope Out the Prison - Nugats?
- Lift the Keys - ???
- Steal a Disguise - ???
- Investigate Known Gray Gardeners - ???
- Contact the Pharasmins - Hania and Pooka?
In the interest of keeping the discussion short (over PbP a 'quick' discussion can take days...) I propose everyone just making their next post about what one of these tasks you want to do. If we double or triple up on some and miss others, no big deal. Everyone should do the thing they think would be the most fun to attempt. Then the group meets back up to talk about what we have discovered, and make our next move from there.
What say you? :)

It'd help to have a sense of what skills might be relevant. Do we have any sense of what it might take to do these? We have spent time trying to find out about this stuff, you'd think we'd have at least an inkling what each might entail...
Scope Out the Prison -
Lift the Keys - ???
Steal a Disguise - ???
Investigate Known Gray Gardeners - ???
Contact the Pharasmins - Hania and Pooka?
Daru does have a rank in Sleight of hand (for a mod of +9). At high-tier, that smells of suicide, but she does have invisibility and mage hand as well. So perhaps she could Lift the Keys.
Again, Sleight of hand, etc, so could try and Steal a Disguise, but she's horrible with disguise, and would only do it if others wanted to use disguise. She certainly doesn't want to bother with it.
She has good diplo (+17) and kn-local (+11) if that's Investigate the Known Gray Gardeners. (i.e. asking around about them...)
Perception (+16), Invisibility, Flight Hex and Detect Magic for Scope Out the Prison
Obviously, she'd be good for Contact the Pharasmins, but others have that covered. (and Kn-Religion is not class skill)

FYI: I live in Raleigh/Durham area of North Carolina, and Hurricane Florence is barreling our way. We're far enough inland, it shouldn't be dangerous, but power outage is a very real possibility...so if I go dark for a time, please just go ahead and bot Daru.
She has good diplomacy and likes to use it.
Slumber hex and frostbite against anyone who's possibly redeemable.
Since we're high tier, getting Mirror Image and Flight online early might be good idea for survivability, though if we need to kill quick, there's old-school magus, i.e.
Intensified shocking grasp spellstrike (along with intensified shocking grasp spellstoring weapon).
Frigid Touch spellstoring armor used if she's being full attacked by someone with multiple attacks. (i.e. make them staggered so that can't attack her a bunch of times...)
Parry & Riposte
Can use a wand of True strike as a wand wielder magus to try and tank, i.e. use true strike after she attacks, so her Parry attempt would have additional +20 (sacrifices a bunch of offense to do that, but tanking can be situationally amazing, especially against critter with one huge nasty attack per round)
Hopefully none of this will matter, but giving you a heads up early in case I'm offline at the end of the week.

Good luck and stay safe!
I visited that area once for a training class at Buhler Aeroglide. We ate dinner at a cajun restaurant that had the most spectacular ribs I have ever had. They were so good that any and all ribs I have had since have been massively disappointing.
We will keep Daru safe. You keep you safe.

My lvl 4 grippli druid was one-shot by Enervation spell....nothin' like range touch attack having a 1 in 4 chance o' killing ya. But between prestige, gp and a bit o' kindness from the party, he was raised to fight another day. (He is my -13...don't believe that had anything to do with it, but you never know.)

Is anyone else able to channel positive energy besides Hania?
GM, I also want to make sure I understand the rules on the phylactery of positive channeling. If I'm understanding correctly, it will apply whenever Hania burns two LoH uses to channel, but not to just LoH. Is this correct?
Correct the phylactery only triggers on a channel ability (not LoH as it's not a full channel).

So I could be wrong, but the way I read this, we have an unguarded entrance we can enter and exit from, plus some very helpful things against undead that are most likely going to cast save or die spells.
In the beginning we were told that they would be executed in the morning, and it is almost daybreak. We were given 'potions of story plot so we don't get tired' also. :) (not criticizing, just having fun...)
I say whoever claims the ghost salts first gets them. They are best used on ammunition because one application hits 10 pieces of ammo, whereas 1 application on a weapon only works on the first hit.
Pooka has a sling and sling bullets, if no one else has any ammunition they use even as a secondary weapon. Odds are, his charge at half damage to an incorporeal creature would do more than a sling bullet with ghost salts...

Death Ward is on the Paladin list. One charge will last 7 minutes
I'd say Ghost Salt for at least 10 arrows for Roland. Actually, I'd recommend 20, unless he already has some ammo with Ghost Salt? (since he's firing 4/round with rapid shot and haste)
If Hania is going for phylactery and channeling, then maybe the last dose for Pooka's lance. But if Hania goes for Smite evil, getting her full smite damage (doubled v evil undead on first hit) would probably be better.
Daru has a dose of Elixir of Spirit Sight, which makes her weapons and armor Ghost Touch for 1 minute. It's not cheap, but better than being dead. She'll plan on popping a Haste first round of the first two battles. (then she's outta Hastes...)
Daru also has a masterwork darkwood crossbow with 5 Ghost Salt Blanch bolts. She'll happily hand it over to Hania: Smite Evil will still add to the damage (only 1d8 base), in case the things go airborne/out of reach. (Yes, she used to have 10, and yes, that's why she's bought a very expensive Elixir for a level 8 PC...that was one hairy encounter. Not everyone made it out alive.)

I think that is an excellent plan Daru!
I'll plan on putting the ghost salt on my lance then, unless someone claims the 3rd one.
I think we are well equipped, like any good pathfinder should be. :) Good work team!
Edit: Way to go reading comprehension skills! Yes, that 3rd dose would probably be better served with Hania for that smite roll. I'll only take it if Hania would rather not use it.

Ok so we are storming the prison and are preparing to fight incorporeal creatures?
If this is correct, and it is dawn, I am unprepared to deal with this threat. My spells (except MM) would only do half damage and I do not hove time to re-prepare.
Is it possible to stock up on some scrolls or such before heading in? If not I will make do, professional and all. ;)

Yeah so though I have played a fair bit of PFS, Nugats was built for GenCon '16 as a true glass cannon for our regular gaming group. Since then he has sat on shelf unused. I really need to audit his spell book to add some more PFS-ey type spells to help with the myriad of adventures Paizo is now offering.
Well this should be fun.

Wizards can be so immensely powerful, but typically need proper preparation in order to fully take advantage of that.
No worries for sure, I think we are pretty well equipped.
Just FYI - Pooka has the danger ward ability, so assuming I time it right, I can give us all a bonus to our saves to help with the seemingly inevitable save or die event that is looming...
Also GM - apologies for the slight liberties I've taken with how hard the door might be to open. It was too fun not to play with. Please feel free to take whatever creative license you want with that.
