I presume that I am the healer here, correct?

Profession (merchant), Day Job: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

There's a very good chance that Brady will appreciate your healing.

I have also been known to do a little bit of healing.

If you wish to be a healer, Nine by.

I could assist with healing if someone has a wand that they need me to use.

Since we are all first level, I should probably stick with cure spells for the first mission. I will prepare different spells for the next one.

The biggest key will be me not taking damage. I can heal anyone else

Please list any expendable magic items that you need someone else to activate and/or are willing to share with other characters. For example, do you have a scroll of lesser restoration that you’ll need the cleric to cast if you take ability damage?

If you have a Day Job, roll that as well.

Day Job -
Profession(Herbalist): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17

0 xp character with no expendables.

I have no day job.

I have purchased an arcanist kit, Masterwork backpack, bandolier, and alchemist fire x 3. I sold a backpack, torch x 10, and iron pot.

Day Job -

[dice=Profession(Herbalist)]d20+13

0 xp character with no expendables.

Oops. Technically, a healer kit is an expendable, so I do have something expendable!

No day job. The only real expendables at this point are my Pathfinder's Kit.

Please describe your character’s personality and combat strategy. If you are comfortable with another player botting you, please say so here and then add a “BOT ME” spoiler to your profile. But be aware that I do not bot characters. If another player does not post your actions, you will be delayed and/or skipped entirely.

Nine by Nights is the curious sort. He is very observant. In combat he will heal or use his Touch of Darkness. If he does not want to expend resources, then he will use Aid Another to help people attack.

Liao Shénnóng seems very self assured. He is very good at reading people, but is usually so focused on people or plants, he often misses other things going on around him. He is always examining different plants along the way, collecting specimens that might prove useful. In combat he is extremely cautious. (This is due to his family curse. Although he comes from a long line of renowned healers, none of their healing will work on themselves, an affliction which caused the death of both his father and his grandfather.) He will typically stabilize fallen allies and enemies over attacking, but can be adequate with his sling or spear if he has to defend himself or others.

Valtyra is assured and confident when it comes to her studies and use of magic however her dealings with others are shaky and easily show her shyness. Very few know that there is an anger deep seeded in her blood that only in very rare moments has come forth. She is rather embarrassed and tends to try to explain it away as merely a magical effect and nothing more whenever someone figures out what happened.

She is generally of even temperament but worries little about laws other than those that govern magic. She does have a caring and nurturing side to her that becomes most apparent when she sees others using magic to manipulate people to do things they normally would not.

Brady is looking for an easy way through life. He's grown up using his fists to solve problems, and hasn't seen any reason to stop; it's just so easy. His early life was one of "enforcing" for various criminal enterprises. When the latest and biggest of those got shut down by Taldan authorities, he decided that the Pathfinder Society was another easy option that would allow him to lean into his existing strengths.

While he has learned from and adheres to the Society's rules (particularly Explore, Report, and Cooperate), he will still default to some simple physical force as his quickest and best option.

Grazet fights with a ruthlessness born in Belkzen. He is always willing to trick and bully opponents to feint or demoralize them.

Outside of combat, he plays the brute, letting others' assumptions about his half-orc blood blind them to his mesmerizing abilities.

Feel free to bot Grazet if he's the last to act. He has a big sword, pretty simple.

Please make sure that your stat bar includes alignment, race, class & level, AC, hp, saves, initiative, senses, and CMD. If you prepare spells, post them in this thread.

Also, please copy your avatar to the map.

I am not seeing anything that would allow me to "Mask Image"

"Mask Image" is an option in the dropdown menu of "Crop Image." Click on the arrow next to the "Crop Image" icon to see the menu of shapes.

I did yours, Brady

Thanks for taking care of mine. It might help to point out that it will be buried in the "More" menu if your window size is not large enough to display all of the icons.

I have the following spells prepared today.

Level 0
Detect Magic
Flare
Ray of Frost
Read Magic

Level 1
Mage Armor
Magic Missile

Just waiting on NbN.

Sent a PM to NbN. Let's give him another day, then push ahead.

Any last minute purchases or questions? Let's plan for a Monday start.

Official start time will be tomorrow afternoon, around 1PM EDT.

At this point I'm going to assume we've lost Nine by Nights. Would people rather replace him or run with four?

I don't mind either way.

I'm good either way. If there is a ready replacement, then no issues adding someone. I'd rather not wait to look for someone if we need to search though.

Different topic: Campaign clarification today says my heal skill does 1d6 instead of 0d6 at level 1. (It says 1/2 level d6, but clarification made it minimum of 1d6.)

We should do okay with four players but if the group wants to recruit a 5th player that is also okay by me.

Artemis, please roll your day job and post the following info:

Player Name
Character Name
PFS#
Faction
Start XP
Start PP
Start Fame
Start GP
Chronicle#
Advancement Speed
Initiative Mod
Perception Mod

If you have any questions, please post them here in Discussion rather than as ooc text in Gameplay. You'll get a faster response that way, as I'll be checking this thread more frequently than the Gameplay.

Artemis hasn't checked in yet, so I invited the other person on the waitlist. He's the last one though, so if he doesn't check in soon, we will run with four.

Hello everyone, I am the replacement character, Dragos. Ranged inquisitor of Erastil. I will post more detail in a little bit, and fill out the form as well.

OK, have some more time now, so a more full post here with personality and combat style.

Dragos is an inquisitor of Erastil, and is (quite intentionally) *neutral* good instead of *lawful* good. Unlike paladins or priests, inquisitors are more the wetworks guys for their deity, willing to step across bounds that other followers might not to get the job done. Dragos is out to see the will of Erastil done, and he'll do what needs doing to see it happen. Beyond that, though, he is friendly and sociable, and relatively knowledgable within certain spheres of influence.

From a combat perspective, particularly this early in his career, Dragos is an "I shoot arrows at it" character. Most of his spells are not combat-centric, with the exception of Divine Favor as a self-buff. He does have Cure Light Wounds, but only gets two 1st level spells per day, so he will try to avoid using them if possible.

Brady doesn't have ranks to attempt the knowledge check. The description doesn't make clear what we're fighting, and I'm not able to load the map from the link in the header.

I'm feeling kind of lost, not sure that I can post an action yet.

@Brady: The tinyurls in my header do seem to be broken, but there is also a link in the combat post. That one isn't a tinyurl, so it should still work.

Who has(n't) played/GMed The Confirmation before?

I have both played it and GM'ed it.

I've GM'ed it, but this is my first time playing it.

I have played/gmed it around 20 times. Now I usually send strange characters through it who might end up in some interesting conversations over the course of the adventure.

I've played before

I've sent two characters through it before.

OOC: Liao's family line is blessed with the ability to heal others, producing some of the finest herbalists, doctors, and healers over the past couple centuries in Tien. However, they are cursed with the inability to be helped by that healing. (Lich oracle curse, so yes, negative energy needed to heal.) This has resulted in the deaths of pretty much every one of his ancestors who had the same gift for healing. Liao joined the pathfinders to study other healing arts outside his family's blessing, hoping he'd find a way to heal himself, and as a result, others in his family line. So he doesn't know negative energy will work. He just refuses healing altogether, and heals naturally.

Could everybody please start hiding your rolls in spoilers, like this?

Sorry for the GM slow down everyone. I had some people over this weekend to play boardgames, and it turned into a 22 hour party. Then I worked 15 hours on less than 2 hours of sleep.

I'm more or less recovered now, though. All games will get updated today, though some may not be until tonight.

This is just a heads-up that I am going to be at a music festival this weekend. I'll be camping and I expect to have very poor cell service. I will be back on Monday; posting will be sporadic if at all until then.

Please feel free to bot Brady if you need his action to keep the pace up.

I don't think purple hit me. My AC was 16 for the round, fighting defensively.

Good catch. Looks like I missed the bump from FD. You only took 4 damage.
