On a recent foray into Kwanlai, the Pathfinder Society learned that a conniving being from the Abyss has been targeting righteous communities on the border between the tengu nation and Tianjing to the south.
Honored Pathfinders and treasured colleagues,
I received an urgent request from an old friend of our Society, the samurai Shiyo Takarak of the Way of the Kirin. To my surprise, she has been working with another, more recently acquired friend of the Society: an archon of Heaven named Zepha. The two, it seems, have been pursuing leads discovered by one of our Society’s previous expeditions into the Kimu Mountains. Clearly impressed with their previous interactions with our colleagues, the two have asked for skilled Pathfinders to lead an expedition into Tianjing to follow the trail of evidence further. This is an excellent opportunity to strengthen our ties with both the Way of the Kirin and the archon. It also provides an opportunity to explore some of Tianjing and perhaps some of its ancient celestial-inspired architecture, arts, and philosophies. Zepha and Shiyo are in Kwanlai’s capital, Hisuikarasu, planning the expedition. Meet them there in the private room of the Gilded Lotus Teahouse.
With Regards,
Venture-Captain Amara Li

Welcome, welcome!
Something about me - I've been running live games for a few years now, and I do have a few campaigns in PbP under my collar as well, but - If you find anything that can be improved, feel free to point it out.
Let's get to it then. I need the following from you:
Quote:
Player Name: (name that should appear on the report sheet)
Feel free to add notes or comments about that you would like to point out in regards to your character. Afflictions, rare special abilities I should know about/read up on, etc.
Some extra stuff to keep games flowing:
Since we are sort of pressed for time in these specials, in case of an extended period of absence, I would like your permission to bot the character, or delegate this to one of the other players in the thread (in case of interest - I wouldn’t simply say “X bots Y” and carry on). With the following in mind, would you agree to being botted?
Me (or the players botting you) would try to not use any consumables in your inventory, or abilities or class features with limited use (x/day stuff such as spells, channel energy, stunning fist, inspiration, and so on) until deemed necessary to ensure the survival of one or more characters in the party.
Botting posts would be as sterile as possible, to not put words into your character’s mouth. We do this because we try to not post something the character would never say due to their convictions, life philosophy, or whatever other reasons they might have. It’s always better if you (as the ‘owner’ of the character) come in later, and fill the blanks if needed.
If you agree to the above, please set up a bot me section in the character profile containing your most common rolls and listing any feats that might alter said rolls.
Additionally, please make sure to put relevant information (initiative, perception, saves, other common rolls, etc) about your character into a spoiler included in all your posts. This can be done with the Classes/Levels field in the character profile. If you have questions how, don't be afraid to ask.

As for botting, for someone who speaks 14 different languages Shonne doesn't talk a lot. In fact she's downright laconic. She tends to do the most logical and pragmatic thing possible with occasional bouts of crazy 'What did you just do?' 'Made a DC 50 jump check that's what'. If that means diving spear-first upon a swimming opponent she does (did) so. Think Legolas in the LOTR movies. If it comes to it, Shonne is more attached to the Elven Court in Kyonin than the Pathfinder Society.
Her roll within any given group is dependent upon composition of the group. She has played the roll of front-line combatant, high-speed (stealth) striker, support wizard, devil's advocate, and harrying archer in the past. She chooses her spells based upon perceived need.
Note to GM The high-tier link in your post's subtitle doesn't go anywhere.
This is kuey, originally playing Kazu for low-tier, now switching to Kai for high tier.
Player Name: kuey
PFS-ID: 215076-8
Faction: Silver Crusade
Day Job Roll: (if any)craft(alchemy), alchemy, crafter's fortune, alchemist's lab, take 10:10 + 15 + 9 + 5 + 2 = 41 Initiative bonus: +2 (but usually with another +2 from heroism, and +4 from heightened awareness)
Perception bonus: +17+1d8 (and usually another +2 from heroism, and +2 from heightened awareness)
Kai is, in summary, a reach melee skills-monkey. Hmm, yeah, that about sums him up.
Hi, I've got a bit of a problem. Kai is still in a game. Thought it would have ended by now. We're in the final combat though which might take a few days. Is the GM ok if Kai only checks in after that?
When everyone is ready, please check the tales in the Maps & Handouts document linked in the header. There's a table with your name / ID / faction / job roll that I will be using when filling the sheets. If there is something wrong, feel free to correct it. If it's one of the initiative or perception fields, please let me know, since I need to edit the spoiler in the thread header to reflect this change. Thank you, and have fun!
I made a major blunder. I have been accepted with Felicitas on two tables. May I please instead play a pregen? Will play Lem the bard level 7 if it is acceptable?

The recent weeks of forum instability have been a bit discouraging. I am considering an alternative at the moment. I thought of setting up a discord server for this with a dice bot in case of a forum crash.
Could we do that, or does someone have another alternative in mind?

I feel like I'm gonna have to be stubborn again. I am not a fan of setting up multiple accounts all over the internet so that I can get 'better advertising'. Hence I don't have accounts with: Amazon, Twitter, Facebook, and many many others. I do belong to a number of anti-social networks though. ;)
I think whatever down time we suffer on the Paizo site at this point and going forward (and I think they're planning for some this week) will just follow us given the time needed to set up, move, and master whatever learning curve there will be. In fact, even discussing it is sort of its own time sink (not that I object--we should certainly discuss it).

Since at this point we're working through our 4th day of uptime, I'd rather just weather the paizo waves.
A quick heads up from me, since I'm on the phone now. I probably won't be able to post today, so feel free to fluff stuff out while I am gone. Work trip has me busy.
I'll be away this weekend on a hiking trip. Would only be on mobile and signal would like be iffy so not likely to post. Please bot Kai however appropriate. He'll just keep attacking whatever's in range, making AoOs where possible.
Came down with a cold on Saturday morning, and I wanted to get into shape for the working week. I'm in a semi-working condition at the moment, so I should have an update later in the day. Thanks for being patient, folks.

In addition to the posts I managed to FINALLY make today, I want to apologise again for the delays. I ended up having no time to do anything with any of the tables I run in the last week, pretty much. Things are looking up for a better period starting tomorrow or Friday, so we should be fine from then on.
I absolutely understand if you are mad. I would probably be pissed if my GM didn't respond or say anything in such a long time. Again - I am genuinely sorry about that.
Now of course I've used all my luck up on an ability that will give one of my characters a +5 bonus to swim in cheese or perhaps allow her to speak a language only found in the Starfinder game, rather than winning the lottery or something like that. ;)

Forgot to highlight that Narayan got one of those full BaB attacks as a swift action by spending a ki point.
Aaaand this is the end of our journey. I'll put in a closing post later today and send you sheets by tomorrow. Thank you for playing, and for putting up with the complications on the way.
