Hi, everyone. When you're ready to check in, please provide me with your player name, character name, faction, day job (if any), and if you are slow track.

Player: Pirate Rob
Character: Jaan
Faction: Dark Archive
PFS#: 757-20
Day Job: N/A

Here is the set that I used:

Thank you, Jaan, that knowledge as to what parts of the adventure you already have played or run is exactly what I need so that I can make the adventure fresh for all of you. I'll also look a bit at your backgrounds to see if that inspires anything.
Guys, I do need to know a little more about your characters, and also if you have played this before. If you have, please tell me (in spoilers) what parts you've played.

I have not played this scenario before.
Flora is a halfling phytokineticist. She was born and raised in the Mwangi expanse by her mother, a Mwangi halfling. Her dad was a halfling explorer from Andoran who was never around when she grew up, so the only thing she really got from him was her wanderlust.
She basically blasts things with plants. When she's not doing that... scratch that, she's always doing that, at least until she gets another element to play with.
She wears a wood and feather tribal headdress that she will sometimes animate with a spirit of wood to scout for her.
She joined the Society to see the world and possibly find her father.

I’ve not played the scenario before.
Reesa is a sweet, wonderful aasimar that always thinks the best of people. She is a true goody goody Silver Crusade type.
She is also quite flighty. She originally was going to specialized in Ranged magic but got bored by that and loved going on a couple adventures with summoner. So she changed her focus and brought out her innate ability to summon creatures herself. She could easily get bored again and focus on yet another part of her magic.

See all this?
These are all things Kali isn't.
She is a sardonic, shrewd, unflinchingly candid Kuthite nun out of Cheliax who wears more barbed chains than she does clothes, practices ritual ash baths that have permanently turned her skin literally black, and originally joined the Pathfinder Society after the untimely death of her old abbess.

Anything I should know about any previous experience you have with this scenario?

I have not played nor GM'd any part if this scenario, so it's all fresh to me.
Scarlet is a travelling performer, musician, and acrobat from Varisia, She is always accompanied by her companion Poppy (a Lyrakien) a fellow entertainer/musician, and 'Rusty the Wonderdog' who is a rare Embeth Hound. Together they form a small travelling Troupe putting on magic shows, musical entertainment, and other sideshow/carnival acts.
In reality, they are not above acting as scallywags, rascals, and scoundrels - in cahoots with the Sczarni types, and affiliated with the less reputable members of The Exchange Gauril Karela lives!). Whilst Scarlet explains away her catlike appearance of soft downy fur in a tiger pattern and matching tail as being 'Catfolk', the truth is shes a Rakshasa blooded tiefling.
They aren't bad people, they are just Varisian carny folk. She's an honest woman just trying to carve out a slightly dishonest living.
Player Name: Shifty
Character Scarlet Scoundrel
Faction: Exchange
PFS#: 41662-9
Day Job: **Pending - I may be looking to tick off he Faction sheet instead**

I don't see most of Scarlet's skills in her profile; did she trade away the rogue trapfinding/disable device, or does she still have them?
|

Still has them :)
I'm just converting all my characters over to Herolab, when I get home tonight I can finish Scarlet off and upload. Work finished at midnight, it's now 6am and I'm heading back to work - I had hoped I'd get time last night.
Unchained Barbarian 1/Unchained Rogue 6, no archetypes.
Has trapfinding, trap spotter, and rogues edge is disable.

Otto is a rather serious fellow, fastidiously dressed, and continually checking to make sure that all the buttons on his tunic are lined up with the edge of a ruler. Talking with him, one soon forms the impression that he would much prefer to be at home, tending his garden, and that he comes by the adventurer's life rather reluctantly. "If you don't keep after them, the fields will become clogged with weeds! And the plants themselves, they run amok, this way and that, it doesn't matter if you have planted them in neat and tidy rows - they have no discipline. That's why they need me, to lend a guiding hand, to straighten them out. The natural world, left to itself - bah, pure chaos - we druids must impose ourselves, and by the very force of our will, even the plants, even the animals, all their wildness can be tamed, must be tamed. Then all will be well. At least for the moment, but we must remain vigilant, for their wildness ever seeks to find expression, and to escape from our guidance. Bah!"
Otto lets out a long sigh. "And there I would be, at home, tending the garden, if not for that cursed dog! ... I don't suppose you've seen him?" He gives a description of a missing dog that is so generic that it could easily describe almost any small furry quadraped. "Yes, it's true, I promised my mother that I would find her dog, no matter what it took, and that I would not return home without him. How was I to know that it would become a quest of not days or weeks, but years? Poor mother. I wonder if she is even still alive, or if I will ever see her again, but I am a man of my word, and I will tread every inch of Golarion - and beyond - until I find that dog. He is a very bad doggy, no discipline at all!"
"But there you have it. One does not choose the quest, one's quest chooses you. I SHALL find that dog, if it's the last thing I do... I do wonder about my azaleas though," he sighs wistfully, "do you think anyone has been watering them?"
So things to note for roguery and chicanery:
Poppy has Detect Magic and Detect Evil as a constant effect.
Scarlet has favoured terrain (Urban)
Scarlet has Trap spotter + Trap sense.
My apologies for the late start. I had been doing so much to prepare for OutPost that I was way behind on a bunch of real world chores, and so I spent today catching up.

You all have my deepest apologies. I have not been the kind of GM I want to be recently. At first, I was sick, and then as I started to get back into the flow of things, some very nasty VO business (which you are probably all aware of from Flaxseed) exploded, and has been taking far too much of my mental energy for the last few days. I will strive to do better.

All good, I picked up the dustpan and broom in the Flax lodge.
It's odd, but in at least two of the tables there are people in games I have rescued in the past - and one of the players has had me rescue games they were in FOUR TIMES.
This next post is a complicated one to construct because it consists of random tables to consult and things. Thursdays are my crazy, exhausting days until the end of this month, so I'm not fit to make that kind of post right now. I will get a post up tomorrow morning.

In light of the FAQ that was just published regarding upgrading companion's armor (see here), is it ok if I purchase some barding for my elasmotherium (and skip the two scrolls of mage armor mentioned last night)? No problem if you say no: I understand that the adventure is underway. The reason is that I had been holding off on buying him barding because he will grow to Large size when I hit level 7 (one adventure after this one) and I thought I would be spending extra gold to buy him Medium barding now - in light of this FAQ, this is no longer the case. Have to do a few calculations to figure out the cost but I'm pretty sure it will be Darkleaf Lamellar (leather) armor. Again, no worries if this feels like an unwarranted retcon.
Nice pick up on the FAQ!
I had always sold the smaller set and bought a new set, seems I was ripping myself off :p

Yes, me too, which is why in this case I had decided I'd just wait until he hit level 7 to get barding at all.
There's a few other interesting developments in this latest faq - nice to see that Pathfinder 2.0 hasn't caused them to forget about it entirely...
That's a minor enough adjustment that it's fine, Otto.
OK, guys, I should be able to keep things moving more smoothly now. I just had a significant responsibility end until next fall, so I have more time for my games.

I just wanted to let you guys know that I'll be taking tomorrow off the forums for family time. I'll see you on Monday. Please have a happy Easter, all of you who celebrate it.
Long Beau,
Let me get back to you in a day or so, I need to look into the rules. We are over halfway-through the adventure; more like 3/4 of the way through if you calculate in certain ways. Depending which direction you guys go or what you choose to do, you may be about to walk into the room where the main story will move forward. It is definitely too late for someone else to join, but it may also be too late for you to withdraw without a partial chronicle.
May as well stick it out, as above, we won’t be far from the end.
Is there a particular type of gaming element you feel is missing?
