Don't you guys feel honored in having a bounty out for you? =)
Hah! The ringleaders :D
Decide which point of interest you wanna go next =) You're at H2 now.
Explanation on why I'm currently hitting pause button because there's some unfinished interactions between Nigel and the wolf, which could result in you getting a bigger wolf pack – if you so choose.
I'm twisted between pushing on and putting the interactions in retcon mode or not. Meh. GM woes :P Do you want to call lying mites out?

There is a problem with the browser at work - it intermittently puts a bar across part of the window, which is normally supposed to be at the bottom of the 'Paizo' page; the upshot of that is, that at present, for me, it is directly over the 'submit' button, so I can't apply a new post until a few more are added by someone else, and the banner 'moves'.
For the moment, here is what I am trying to post (feel free to duplicate it across):
Nigel moves over, and taps the wolf with the Wand of CLW.
He then stares sternly at the mite.
"I am not inclined to give zose zat torture volves any leniency. I see no reason vhy he should not die, given zat torture and death vas clearly vhat zey intended for zis mother and her pups. Besides, he is still trying to lead us astray - his 'treasure house' is undoubtedly ze place vhere ve found zat horrible undead monster, considering ve stripped ze mate to ze boot he has off zat corpse."
Nigel then tenderly addresses the wolf.
Ah ok it makes sense I Will help post it into gameplay. Sorry about it.
Badminton later, so will poof.
Heya, Mort indicated that you'd be interested in another player. I had applied with a gnome inquisitor of Shelyn, and would be happy to play that, but would also be just as happy filling another role that y'all seem to be missing.
And also helping my cousin move house tomorrow! So yeah busy busy =P
As for continuing the game, I (still) worry about our buffing/divine/healing/condition removal/etc abilities. I would like to recruit someone with those strengths.

@ Litejedi, it seems the consensus is some type of divine caster, I assume an inquisitor would work.
Any other opinions?
Due to Nigel's IT issues, he's been informing me his moves by PM and I will post them for him.
Hi Litejedi, I agree with Nigel here - on the one hand I think we do need some 'divine firepower and buffing', and on the other it is a happy coincidence that you want to play such a character.
So no issues whatsoever about your character, but I'll be honest and ask - don't you think more animal companions will make combat a big ol' mess? :D
You could technically have an entire party of characters with animal companions on a PFS table.Now you say it, most of my characters have animal companions or familiars..=P
I think there was one game I played there were 3 of us with animal companions or something. We joked we could start a zoo ^^
In that case, I'm also cool with it :D
----
And also in that case - at level 3 will you allow me to get the Familiar Arcana Mort? I was planning on a Hedgehog with the Protector archetype, how does it sound?
Sorry I'm too busy laughing. Hedgehog with protector archetype? Happen to be blue wearing white gloves and red shoes?
On a more serious note, go ahead.
Also, Nigel asked me permission(which I gave) to flavour his extracts as injections. So if he jabs himself when a fight starts, you'll all know why.
Mechanically there will be no difference between injecting it into himself and drinking it.
I was even planning on calling him Sonic :D
But changed my mind, I'm going with a Weasel instead - now I need a name.
I called my weasel socks, because she was a brown weasel that had four white socks. Then when I took Improved Familiar, she became a steam mephit with four white socks. That’s what you get when you keep pestering your wizard master that you want to fly.
That's true but I'm also about to zip for badminton so you'll end up waiting for me next =P
Yeah, I'm gonna post now - wanted to update Hedran first :P
aaawwwww, I love hedgehogs, of course ferrets are fun too!
Edit: Crap level three! I will get started on that, you said after the 'wolf lair' I didn't realize that was where we killed the little blue guys...
Hehehe :D
Nigel, I believe you are up too :P
oooohhhh you could name him "Weasel"
DEAL!
Weasel has been added to my alias ;)
Nigel asked for botting due to IT issues, anyway he delayed.
Thanks for the vote of confidence. Yeah, Ringo is medium sized, so for at least a little while I don’t expect that we’d take up more space than another party member. And he will be ridden.
Checking over the list I noticed a lot of cleric stuff, which is good, just gotten a little later, but a lot of the status removal stuff seems better done on wands and scrolls than one of the inquisitor spells known. I had planned to moving him into being a chernasardo warden, though, which would delay the spell progression a bit later on. If this seems acceptable to y’all, I’ll level him as appropriate.
Otherwise I have a million other characters I can play - I like buffing and status removal as much as doing anything else. This includes a Goliath Druid I’ve been trying to play for about four years without success.
Charging, until you get some way to fly, I suggest you try for dragon style since forests are full of bushes with lots of difficult terrain. Other then that you should be good.
I'll give you about 2500 gp for WBL. You start at level 3.Yes it's lower the usual but it just reflects what the party has at the moment.
Out of curiosity, may I ask why chernasardo warden? It seems to lose quite some of the Inquisitor abilities. Is it because of fluff reasons? :D
Hey Mort, I'm headed to bed and need to go in work early, so I probably won't be back on for about fourteen hours, please bot Ratel and Bear as needed, I will get his sheet caught up tonight, thanks.
ok I lied, one last attack and then you can bot him :-)
sorry about all the confusion, it will be better after I get them to level 3.
Out of curiosity, may I ask why chernasardo warden? It seems to lose quite some of the Inquisitor abilities. Is it because of fluff reasons? :D
Fluff for the campaign, as it seemed appropriate. I challenged myself to make something with more ultility than a typical ranger that might fit within the chassis. I figure the aligned class feature would keep most of the features at a decent level, as the combination of abilities meant a lot of skills, feats, random utility, decent spells, and even spell-likes as well.
I built it out to 14 or so and it seemed to check most of the boxes I wanted along the way.
That being said, I just noticed y’all don’t have a reliable source of haste (unless you planned on getting it through your arcana). I could build a magaambyan arcanist or halcyon druid who would have the mvp druid/wizard spells, heals, and haste. I’ve been wanting to play something like that ever since the arcanist archetype came out. Druid is my favorite class so I’m well-versed in the intricacies.
Litejedi, Quartermaster Nigel has corrected me on my maths so I think for simpler calculations just start with standard WBL of 3k gp.
Haste is on Magus spell list. No need for spellblending.
What? Are we at Level 3, now?
Edit: Nevermind. I see it now.
Ahh, my mistake. Shows how much I know about magi. The offer stands though. I’ll update my gnome to 3 tonight and also post an alternate and let you decide what you want.

As I said, play what you want (which is presumably the Inquisitor...?).
If you insist on changing, though, I would prefer the Wizard over the Druid, only because if you go with the latter, I will be reliant on UMD for my healing for the entire campaign, whereas at least with the former, you would have Repair Undead on your spell list, so I could buy wands of it.
(That said, Inquisitor works just as well for me, as ILW is on that spell list ;-))
I probably won't be able to push plot any further since I'm about to set off to help my cousin with her house moving.
Ratel - Bear gains a new trick at 3 so you're good to go.
uuummmmm, I got nothin...
Aren't we getting a clergyman to do that?
Actually, Now I'm excited to go check the game thread to see who we killed.

The elk had a unique coat of spots that never faded as it grew up, and Grenwold named him Ringo. Ringo is a loyal and friendly elk that carries Gren from place to place and appreciates sweets whenever he can get them.
The remains of Grenwold's immediate family made their way to Phaendar and settled in town, which was more than happy to take the crafty gnomes into their care. The gnomes ingratiated themselves and sought work as alchemists, writes, and machinists, but Grenwold was drawn to the life of a woodsman and realized his knack with animals would be invaluable in that profession. He especially admired the Chernasardo Rangers for their canny tactics and cunning. He secretly aspires to join their ranks, but is a novice in their ways and knows that gnomes are atypical wardens.
He has made friends with a raven named Sandy, which he keeps as a pet.
Grenwold is a gnome of medium height, with pale skin, dark green/black hair, black eyes, and delicate features. He carries on his face a few scars from his escape, but carries himself with obsessive cleanliness, as a consequence of his experiences in the Fangwood. He typically wears durable mottled green and black clothing, with a mottled green bandana around his head. Ringo carries much of his gear, though Grenwold tries to be as self-sufficient as possible.
Grenwold's family, as devoted artisans and craftspeople, were one of few families in his settlement that was devoted to Shelyn, which Grenwold has continued to worship as an inquisitor. Grenwold especially dislikes how the Darkblight has corrupted and destroyed so much life and beauty in the Fangwood, and hopes that through his devotion, he can eventually investigate and clean out the corruption (though he would admit that he does not even know where to start).
Grenwold is cheerful and friendly, and tries to help people whenever possible, but has a dark sense of humor which people do not always appreciate. He appreciates the company of dwarves and halflings, as well as any outcasts from their homes.
Let me know if you like this instead, I'm almost done with the background.

@ Litejedi, I'm not an expert on the different qualities of casters but in general we were looking for a divine caster, Grenwold fits that more.
@ Mort, it looks like we were camping, I've lost track of 'in game' days. Is 'tonight' when Ratel thought we would get rain? Or was that the night before?
