You bet. Here he is, horns and all.
We are very close to Level 7. In fact, once we wrap up the next in-game week of activities, which I intend to start after this NPC encounter, you will be level 7. That, and we will be finished Book 2!
That is the friendliest-looking tiefling I've ever seen. He's so smiley! :D
And woohoo for levels and the finishing of Books!

Not every PbP Gameday VIII GM has linked his or her campaigns. But I've pretty much confirmed
I'm GMing:
PFS Special #10-00 The Hao Jin Cataclysm (Subtier 5-6)
I'm playing:
GM Baerlie's #10-19 Corpses in Kalsgard (5-9), probably with aasimar "Long" Beau, Cleric of Erastil-8.
R Diaz’s #10-20 Countdown to Round Mountain (7-11), probably with tiefling Jake Spade, Inv-Swash-7.
Andrew Watson's #10-22 Passing the Torch, Part 1: Who Wears the Mask (12-18), probably with aasimar Jack, “Just Jack” Bard-13 or with half-elf Slimjim Son House Shady, Bard-9/Paladin-5.
Hope to see some of you at the same table(s)!

Because it might be important, I wanted to see if we can agree on what to do. Issil and Morvena suggest publicly turning Wex in alive, Victor and Geoff think he should die before being brought in, and I think Pádraig is somewhere in the middle. Need the bard to side one way or the other to tie break :)
As of this post, I started enchanting Pádraig's equipment.
His buckler is now a +1 Mithral Buckler. Pádraig, pick up your stuff.
I'll spend the next 2 days working on his rapier.
I had to dig up the post where I agreed to what I would enchant. I think we had just begun trying to find the killer, and identified the awful smell.

No worries if you had them already equipped. It may have not been clear how much time had passed.
Re: presenting the body, I love all of the ideas talked about so far! I can't find a clear ruling on whether the corpse becomes invisible when an invisible source picks it up, but you do have another invisibility potion you could use on it. What did you want the message to say specifically?

Another murdering Thrune lackey brought to Justice be your helpful neighborhood watch. Birds of a feather flock together.
----
The birds of a feather flock together has the nice double meaning of Thrune condones violence as well as referencing the silver ravens.
I'd be cool using both invis potions to get this done. If we had magical ant haul available then Victor would be proud to do the deed since it his Kintargo trait.

Should be interesting to see how this plays out. The book had assumed Thrune would know it was the Silver Ravens that brought Wex in. He may still have ways, but it'll be interesting to see how you guys approach the invitation.
For now, let's level up, and maybe take care of any bookkeeping sort of things (like selling the dagger). I need to get you chronicles as well. Can you post your chronicle information as Larry has? The valid levels are 5-7.
Player Name: Massee
Character Name: Lady Mae
PFS #: 202046-4
Faction: Grand Lodge
Mae is only level 4 but can't I just save the chronicle to apply when she hits level 5?
Player Name: Eric Swanson
Character Name: Wadi Ahk'kolon
PFS #: 13977-1
Faction: Dark Archive
As you may already know Wadi is traipsing around some forsaken island, so this Chronicle will apply after he completes the Shore to Sea module and hits 7th level.
LEVEL UP to 7:
HP: 6+2+1(FCB)
+1 BAB
Armor Training 2 (wear Heavy Armor with no Move penalty)
Feat: Vanguard Ward
Skills (+1 each)
Diplomacy
Disguise
Intimidate
Perception
Ride
Sense Motive
Swim
|
|
HP: 5+2
FCB: +1 Skill Point
Skill Points (9) 4 in UMD, 2 in Spellcraft, and 1 each in Perception, Perform (dance), Perform (sing)
Level 3 Spells: Good Hope, Haste
Level 1 Spell: Silent Image
Feat: Leadership
It might be unclear to you why this is the case, or you might deliberately seek out such positions, knowing you can organize any group to be something greater than the sum of its parts, but your knack for managing groups has always pushed you to the front of any operation you’ve found yourself a part of.
You excel in the role of manager.
You treat your Charisma score as if it were 14 (or 2 points higher than its actual score if your actual Charisma is already 14 or higher) for the purposes of determining how many teams you can manage in the rebellion, and for the purposes of determining the bonus you add to your managed teams’ actions. In addition, you gain a +1 trait bonus to your Leadership score if you take the Leadership feat.
In addition, if you have the Leadership feat and manage a team, you grant +2 bonus to all Organization checks attempted by that team during an Activity phase.
Player Name: Chadius
Character Name: Dawn Verda
PFS #: 133608-14
Faction: Concordance
This PC will hold onto the chronicle until she hits level 5.
New morning means I get to work more on enchanting Pádraig's rapier. It's day 1 of 2, so it should be ready by the next day's afternoon.

So for a cohort, I've got a concept that I like. It should help but not overpower our team, while being consistent with the themes of the campaign.
Rosebud is a lyrakien azata, a level-2 inquisitor (vigilant defender) of Milani with the azata (good) domain.
She claims to have been sent from Elysium by Courage Heart, herald of Milani, to assist PH and his friends in the rebellion against the tyrannical Lord-Mayor Thrune.
Her vigilant defender inquisitor abilites, like Shared Judgments (Su) and Protect the Faithful (Ex), would provide minor but helpful short-term buffs. Her azata (good) domain ability, Call of Elysium (Su), would provide a re-roll to someone who fails a save vs an enchantment (charm or cumpulsion) spell or SLA and provides a few other helpful buffs.
She'd provide limited fire support, either from her longbow or with her starlight blasts.
As an inquisitor, she'd have a few spells of healing or buffing, nothing overpowering. She could use spell-completion or spell trigger items that could be helpful, freeing party members of that task, particularly in combat.
She'd make a great scout, able to fly and with a very good stealth skill modifier.
Always-active Truespeech (Su) makes her an excellent translator.
Commune (1/week) could be very helpful for the party, and the GM could use it to provide information that fills in details of story or background otherwise difficult to reveal.
What do you think?
I like the concept Padraig, though I do think we are light on the healing in this group. If Issil or Padraig go down...
I am also concerned we don't have another tank in the party. Is there any way we could get another melee assistant here?
How many tanks and healers do we need? We've got two of each more or less. Victor may not have a pile of hp but he can avoid most hits in melee. If anything we're melee heavy, not light.
That cohort sounds perfectly reasonable and helpful in my opinion. Especially if they can wield wands for buffs. Honestly though I've always looked at cohorts mostly as RP tools that hopefully can use a helpful wand on occasion.
Ok I think I have Victor leveled up:
+6hp yay!
+1 BA yay!
+1d6 sneak attack yay!
+11 skill points yay!
Feat: combat expertise to help with the squishy melee problem and open me up to take improved feint with a rogue talent at level 8 so I can keep things debilitated.
I pumped 3 ranks into linguistics and learned the following languages: Tengu, Draconic, Aquan. Figured if we are going underwater traveling Aquan would be a good choice. Tengu was for our fun loving feathered friends, and Draconic seems useful.
I've also decided to stick with U Rogue until level 10 where I can get an advanced talent. After that it'll be into Master Spy like my original plan.
Dispelling Attack* (Su): An opponent that is dealt sneak attack damage by a rogue with this ability is affected by a targeted dispel magic affecting the lowest-level spell effect active on the target. The caster level for this ability is equal to the rogue's level. A rogue must have the major magic rogue talent to select this advanced talent.

Issil's leveled up. Now she can set herself on fire for 1 hour per day! Also she's taken Merciful Spell so she can set her fireballs... to stun.
Level 7 Oracle
HP: 5 + 2 Con (now 57)
BAB +1 (now +5)
Caster Level +1 (now 7)
Covetous Curse
Now Issil must wear 650 gp worth of jewelry at all times.
Forcibly losing jewelry more than 175 gp will also sicken her for 24 hours.
Flame Mystery
Gaze of Flames
At 7th level, you can gaze through any source of flame within 10 feet per oracle level, as if using clairvoyance.
[/url=https://aonprd.com/SpellDisplay.aspx?ItemName=Clairaudience/Clairvoyance]clairvoyance.[/url]
New Revelation: Form of Flame
As a standard action, you can assume the form of a Small fire elemental, as Elemental Body I
[/url=https://aonprd.com/SpellDisplay.aspx?ItemName=Elemental%20Body%20I]Elemental Body I[/url]
You can use this ability once per day, but the duration is 1 hour/level.
More Spells per day: 0/1/1/1 (now 7/7/5)
New Spells known: 0/1/1/1
Level 1
Moment of Greatness
[/url=https://aonprd.com/SpellDisplay.aspx?ItemName=Moment%20of%20Greatness]Moment of Greatness[/url]
Level 2
Spiritual Ally
[/url=https://aonprd.com/SpellDisplay.aspx?ItemName=Spiritual%20Ally]Spiritual Ally[/url]
Level 3
Bestow Curse
[/url=https://aonprd.com/SpellDisplay.aspx?ItemName=Bestow%20Curse]Bestow Curse[/url]
New Feat:
Merciful Spell
You can alter spells that inflict damage to inflict nonlethal damage instead. Spells that inflict damage of a particular type (such as fire) inflict nonlethal damage of that same type. A merciful spell does not use up a higher-level spell slot than the spell’s actual level.
As a spontaneous caster, applying the metamagic feat turns standard action spells into full round spells.
Favored Class Bonus: +1 Skill Point
Skills: 4 Oracle + 2 Int + 1 Human Skilled + 1 FCB = 8
Appraise (now +11)
Bluff (now +10)
Diplomacy (now +11)
Knowledge (Nobility) (now +13)
Perform(Dance) (now +11)
Sense Motive (now +8)
Spellcraft (now +11)
Use Magic Device (now +15)
Pádraig, your cohort sounds awesome. RP wise it makes sense for Milani to send a lil' agent down to help. Munchkin wise she'll be able to finagle a CLW wand. She's a tiny creature so her longbow won't do much damage (unless she can apply sneak attack or precise strike damage to it or something.)
Apologies for the delay; I'm off work for a few days but have spent the first part largely catching up on sleep, doing not-PbP stuff, and tackling some other issues. Here's my character info for chronicles:
Player Name: Lady Ladile
Character Name: Donna Incognita
PFS #: 192133 - 17
Faction: Silver Crusade
She's currently only 2nd level so I'll apply the chronicle when she (eventually) reaches 5th. Have got to get her into active play at some point, but I digress.
I'll get Morv leveled up to 7th a bit later.
Regarding Padraig's proposed cohort, I like it! Especially since I'm terrible about remembering to have Pava help out except for occasionally scouting or acting as lookout. I'm starting to wish I'd gone in a different build direction with Morv (and Pava) altogether but oh well.
Did we sell/deposit that cursed blade yet? Is it time to manage our loot?
|

Let's fast forward the item purchasing and selling. It's not very fun to roleplay it anyway. If you guys can take a quick look at the loot sheet and let me know if there's anything else you'd like to sell, we can get that out of the way too. I can roll for item availability if you tell me what you want to buy.
Zachrin Vhast, High Priest of Shelyn, will purchase the evil dagger for its value of 11,708 gold pieces, in order to keep it from falling into the wrong hands.
Cha ching!
In that case, Issil wants a Hat of Disguise.

Re the Loot Tracker:
Loot Tab
PH votes to sell the +1 shadow studded leather armor, the +1 buckler, and the Qadiran rug (if it has no other meaningful story device).
Can we attempt again to identify the two unidentified bottles (line 9), and the assorted unidentified vials (lines 15-17)?
Claimed Items Tab
If they weren't already sold, PH votes to sell the +1 Leather Armor (line 7) and the +2 shadow leather armor (small) (line 55)
Geoffrey will try getting the Ring of Force Shield again, failing that he will claim the +1 buckler (as many of his feats require a shield to use). He will also claim the Potions of Shield of Faith.
Also he will need to see about upgrading his armor as well to Heavy armor, but that can wait :D
I'll take the +1 buckler if no one else is, and sell my masterwork buckler in exchange. Feel free to sell everything else.
Can we attempt again to identify the two unidentified bottles (line 9), and the assorted unidentified vials (lines 15-17)?
+6 HP (4 + 2 Con)
+6 Skills (Kn. Arcana, Kn. Planes, Linguistics x3, Spellcraft)
Gain Languages: Abyssal, Auran, Ignan
Gain Feat: Augment Summoning
Gain: 4th Level Spells (3/day)
Gain: +1 1st Spell/Day
Gain: 3 Free Spells - Stoneskin (4th), Summon Monster IV (4th), Invisibility (2nd)
Still thinking about potential purchases but Morv will work on copying spells from the spellbook found here into her spellbook.

All of the above comes out of Morv's own pocket, before any selling of the next round of loot occurs.

Incidentally, the newspaper Laria brought also has a list of new magical shipments in at The Newt Market:
cloak of the manta ray
+2 haramaki
ring of rat fangs
ring of grit mastery
+2 light wooden shield
ring of wizardry (type i)
staff of revelations
Oof, maybe next week!
I think we identified the bottles, but if not, Issil just did: they are two bottles of air.
As for the vials, they don't seem magical. I believe you would need Craft (Alchemy) to figure those out, not sure if anyone's got that?
I'll gladly take those slippers of spider climbing.
Sorry been a busy week, just getting to look at the loot list.
Victor would totally be up for those slippers for some extra easy recon.
The sell list looks good on my end.
Oh ya for sure. I second that sentiment.

^I actually managed to get it done this morning before I went to bed! Just need to get the profile itself updated on Paizo but I got all the stuff changed over in HeroLab.
The main changes are going from Wizard (Spirit Binder) to Arcanist (Occultist) which still gives the same summoning/conjuration-focused flair but without the pesky drawbacks of opposition schools. She *does* drop back down to only having 3rd level spell access and not 4th but that shouldn't be a huge deal.
Nearly all of her feats, traits, spells known and skill point allocations are the same; the only thing that I did was drop Stealth Synergy (sorry) for Extra Arcanist Exploit. Pava is still a thrush but is now a Soulbound familiar instead of a Mascot. Oh and I bumped her Charisma a bit (14 to 16) for Arcanist-related shenanigans so that may or may not affect stuff for her role as Recruiter.
Ya, tiny would be tough. At least some of us could craft them for half price (on the magic end at least).
PS I added in the gold that was on Wex and his deposit I duped Nurla for.
