Looking forward to playing this with yall!!!

Here I am. I can join with Yelek (Nagaji bloodrager 03) or Ashara here. They are obviously very different charatcers, both from a mechanical and RP point of view. I've no problem playing either, so let me know who you'd like to adventure with the most.
Assuming Ashara is chosen, here's her day job roll.
She will also buy an Headband of alluring charisma +2 before the start of the scenario.
Ok.. After reviewing your characters and such, I have realized that we have a tad bit of a problem. First: I am in no way necessitating anyone to change their submissions!!! However, I do think that we could make it a bit of a better game if yall are willing to mull this over. Right now, we have 1) level 3 character, 1 level 4 character, and 3 level 5 characters. No matter which way we cut it, the game is going to be rather boring for some, and a nasty dice roll away from death for others. I messaged the Level three character to see if they had another character they wished to play, and their next character would put us with no frontliner.
So: We are sitting at APL 4.4 with the characters listed above. This puts us in 3-4 Tier so you 5's are going to be pretty bored. Would anyone like to switch anything out for a more balanced party and/or a different tier, or do you want to continue as is??
Like I said, yalls choice.. no pressure from me in any way. I just want to make sure that everyone at the table has a chance to shine and we have a bit of fun along the way!
Wow.. Yall beat me by a mile here!!!

Hi! So the problem I have is that this is probably my lowest character available while remaining in tier. Otherwise, I do have a second level kineticist, but that will change the subtier or condemn me to possibly dying a very painful death.
Now, while Alaric is 5th level, he is most certainly underpowered. I'm still trying to figure out how to up his game. So I don't think I'll be breaking anything? Probably?
Alaric: Yea, no. Lol.. Lets not roll with a level two here!!!

I don't know how deadly this specific scenario is supposed to be but generally speaking earlier seasons' scenarios are supposed to be easier than latest seasons ones (at least up to 4th season when things got deadlier by far). That said Ashara here is lvl 5 and she's pretty good at keeping people alive (and she's also good at summoning critters if need be).
Honestly, it doesn't read as particularly deadly. Challenging in a few spots, but not overly so. My biggest fear was that a level three wouldn't be able to hang very well with the rest. If this is what yall want to do, then its fine with me!!
I have a number of characters I could bring if we want to change the tier or party balance. What level would I need to be to improve our tier?
I was actually wondering if I should lower the tier so that our level 3 can do okay.
I can also bring a front-liner instead...
If Ashara is bringing an oracle and that fixes our tier problem, I can bring a front-liner if that fixes our party balance problem.
Well, sounds like a plan then guys. Sorry to fire and forget here, I have several things all going at once and figured yall could work it out from there while I try and clear my board a little bit.
Looks like we currently have:
Rogar Valertis and Ashara- Lvl 5
Valjoen_KC and Pferynn- lvl 5
PatheticWretch and ?
grimdog73 and Mykel Therinor- lvl 4
Upaynao and Alaric Ir'Ganak- lvl 5
Alright...plan on me with a front-liner.
Since we have a bit before we start, I'll figure out what I'm bringing soon-ish.
I think I'll be playing with my lvl 5 Eldritch Guardian/Magus.
@Pferryn: Out of curiosity, how did you qualify for arcane trickster at level 5? Don't you need 2d6 sneak attack?

Accomplished Sneak Attacker Feat. It's from the Dirty Tactics Toolbox. If you have 1d6 sneak attack feature then you can take this feat for another 1d6.
Huh...pretty neat! I hadn't seen that before, and it certainly makes AT more viable. It lost too many caster levels before.
As you figure out what you are going to play, please jump all the way up to my first post in the thread to find a link to fill out your reporting information.
Getting this done early is key to getting chronicles in a timely manner! You may also roll for dayjob checks here before putting the results into the spreadsheet.
Grimdog: Could you please follow the link above to give me your reporting information please?
All: I look forward to this game, and hope to make this as enjoyable for yall as I possibly can!
A little about me/Expectations:
Most of you have played with or for me at some point or another, so I will keep this pretty brief. My posting generally is overnight hours of US central standard time. I post prolifically over the weekend, and usually once a day through the week. Mondays are hard for me to post, but I have been trying to improve on this. If you have any questions, concerns, gripes, or complaints, don't hesitate to reach out through either the discussion page or a PM.
What I expect: More than "I do xx" [dice]. This is called ROLE play for a reason. Have fun and be engaging. This has gotten to be one of my biggest pet peeves. I understand that life happens and quick posts are sometimes necessary, but please for the love of all that is holy, put some effort into it please!!!
Keep the action moving: As stated above, Mondays are difficult for me, but please check in at least once a day and once a weekend in order to keep the game on track for a timely finish.
Have FUN! If its not fun, talk to me and we can work something out!
No problem! Thanks for the quick response!!
If you would all like to put up your introductory posts in the gameplay and start your characters getting to know each other, that would be fine.
We start Monday!!!
I apologize for my lack of posting or slowdown of late. These last two weeks have seen a great many things come up professionally, medically, and now legally. I will catch up and post as best as I can, but while dealing with health issues with the wife, I am also going through a professional transition from a job that I held for over 5 years and back into the medical field, as well as dealing with the legal system after a teacher at my son’s school not only battered him in the classroom multiple times but dragged him through the hallway by his neck. This might be considered a bit of oversharing by some, but I wanted you all to understand and I felt “Life is getting rough” was a bit too vague.
I will update as I can and will continue my games, but please understand if my pace temporarily slows. If I am a player and you need to bot me to maintain pace, please do so with my apologies. If you are in a game I am GM’ing, I have not and will not abandon you and I will update as I am able to.
Thank you all for your concerns! (and your offers.. ahem! Mykel!)
Things are slowly settling back into some semblance of a routine, and I hope to slowly pick things back up over the next week. Thankfully, the Substitute teacher is behind bars, and my son seems to be handling things fairly well so far.
Hello everybody, I saw your post in the Flexseed discussion.
You should decide how much time you want to give Devildoc but if you receive no answer then I could take over so that we enjoy the ride together.
I would like you guys to have a good time and finish your game.
You can look at my other games to get an impression of my GM style.
PM me if you as a group have come to a decision.
Have a great weekend!

Ok guys, s!@* hit the fan in a real way, and I completely ditched you for much longer than what I intended to. For this I really apologize. I still have a few things percolating, but the majority of things are if not resolved then at least on a back burner for right now. I am still going through a few transitions, but I hope that the majority of the insanity is past.
Mykel, I am sorry as well that it took so long for me to get back to you in response to your message. In addition, I would like to really thank GM Nowruz for his generous offer of help. I will leave it up to you, the players, as I am sure that being in limbo has not been the most pleasant experience for you. If you would like for me to continue, I will gladly take up the mantle again. If you feel that you would prefer another GM to take over, I will step aside. I completely understand if I have lost your confidence as GM. Just say the word and we will go from there!

I'd like to give GM DevilDoc the chance to finish this. I've played with him before and I found him to be an excellent GM, besides I trust him to continue as our GM.
That said I'd also like to thank GM Nowruz for his offer to take this game up. The gaming environment here on teh Paizo's boards is great because of people like him being willing to help fellow players out!
Great!!!
Really happy for you GM as real life is always top priority! ;-)
Have fun guys!
Thank you all for your votes of confidence! I too give a hearty thanks to GM Nowruz and appreciate his willingness to help out! Lets get this thing rolling again!!
Ok, we aren't done yet, but it is time to roll for boons! Winner on one or 20...
Unfortunately, no one wins this time around. And, back to your regularly scheduled programming!

Posting from my phone: got a huge problem atm. My PC just died on me. The screen suddenly went black and I can’t find a way to make it work. Tried to run dyagnostics from Windows but the problem persists. I’ll contact a tecnician but I’m not sure how long it could take for things to get back to normal.
Ok Ashara. Keep us in the loop, and I really hope that it works out for you!!!
