Okay, six experienced players/GMs. I put my foot in this one.
One post each to start with to make doing your chronicles easier
Your name;
PFS#;
Faction;
if this is not chronicle #1 for your character then links to the previous chronicles.
If you are going to do a day-job then may as well put that in here now as well.
If you think I've forgotten anything, then sing out.
I'm aiming to use GoogleDocs for maps, we'll see how that pans out.

Great!
For those of you new this this forum, on your character screen there is a load of boxes. The one marked "class" appears on each of your posts.
If you could make sure that includes your HP and AC that would be much appreciated. Many folk put other things (saves, perception etc) there as well. Up to you for this adventure, but hp and AC at a minimum would be appreciated.

OK. Added.

Lets keep the rules discussions in this thread.
The mosquitors were (for those who made a DC12 knowledge nature check) a KORTOS mosquitor swarm. They are not quite as nasty as a regular mosquito swarm you might find in the jungle or a swamp.
Feel free to look up mosquito swarms and swarm traits in general if you want to know more!

I had a (round the table) character once.. some awsome rolls for stats, like natural 18s and I think a low of 13 or 14.
But on his first game night. Honestly, every time I picked up a dice it tanked. I'd roll ones and twos. Then the DM tries to be kind, get me to try to roll some low numbers (I can't remember the reason why, someone trying to spot him or something) - then the 20s come out.
Total nightmare. He didn't live long in spite of the potential.
Any of you have stories about characters that just were incredibly unlucky?

I once GM'd a PFS game where the 1st level fighter ran into a room with 3 goblins. The goblins were far enough away that he could not get within 5 feet of them with his movement. So they shot at him with shortbows.
All three goblins rolled natural 20's on their attacks. (I roll my dice in the middle of the table so all the players can see.) All three goblins confirmed their critical hits.
Fortunately, the fighter had enough HP + Con, and the goblins rolled low on damage. He was rendered unconscious (and received healing the next round to stabilize), but there was much clenching around the table when the tank got taken out right away!
Yikes!
I guess that character was both incredibly unlucky (3 crits against him in 1 round) and incredibly lucky (no PC death) in that one situation!

Rules clarification validating Smarmy's use of the sling weapon.
A sling is little more than a leather cup attached to a pair of strings. Your Strength modifier applies to damage rolls when you use a sling, just as it does for thrown weapons. You can fire, but not load, a sling with one hand. Loading a sling is a move action that requires two hands and provokes attacks of opportunity.

It's a 5 foot step. It's . I specifically called it out in the text of my post. I even used to differentiate it from a 5-foot-step. It is a supernatural ability. Here is the text:
Teleportation School
Associated School: Conjuration.
Replacement Power: The following school power replaces the acid dart power of the conjuration school.
Shift (Su): At 1st level, you can teleport to a nearby space as a as if using dimension door. This movement does not provoke an attack of opportunity. You must be able to see the space that you are moving into. You cannot take other creatures with you when you use this ability (except for familiars). You can move 5 feet for every two wizard levels you possess (minimum 5 feet). You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Intelligence modifier.

So tempting to point you to a technical mistake, but I will let it slide :P.
You could have just pointed out you used your shift ability from the wizard line in gameplay chat and it would have been fine. It had nothing to do with rules but the misinterpretation of your post.
No need to be agitated though.

Please, feel free!
Thus far I've noticed that I cannot flank with Summon Minor Monster, thanks to Smarmy correctly pointing it out via one of his aliases.
I've also noticed that you cannot hex the minotaur with either Evil Eye or Misfortune since you're more than 30 feet away from it.
Sources: Evil Eye, Misfortune
Anything else?

I did. By using (Su) when I made the original post.
No need to be agitated though.
My language has been very polite. The bold tags were applied for ease and readability.

Everyone To make life easy for me, it is great if you can include the name of the actual spell or ability you are using as well as the flavour text. Case in point for Delphine what is the Black Fog? A slumber hex? Misfortune? A spell? I'm guessing from subsequent posts it was misfortune.
Akvius We are in a new round now, so feel free to halt your readied action on your initiative and make a new one straight away.

Woops, I wanted to flavour it because it gets boring and unimaginative. Will make sure to specify next time!

No problems. I find myself doing that every now and then as well.
MAin post fixed, as I missed a bit about a move after the hex. Delphine did manage to try and hex it, but the lucky mino saves (again).
I guess now is a bad time to mention in another iteration of this I'm GMing, the Mino just critted Janira and cut her in half. With the luck of this one... well...

Not trying to stir the pot here, especially after GM Aerondor just told us to chill. But, mudball is not legal for a non-goblins to use in PFS:
To create an dhampir, fetchling, grippli, goblin, ifrit, kitsune, nagaji, oread, suli, sylph, undine, vishkanya or wayang character, you must have a Chronicle sheet that opens the race as a legal option at character creation.
Note: Alternate racial traits, racial archetypes, racial evolutions, racial feats, and racial spells are only available for characters of the associated race.
Mudball is a goblin racial spell, per the Advanced Race Guide, Page 119.

Ugh, d20 mentions its ok if the GM allows it. http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/m/mudball
If mudball isn't allowed I will use earpiercing scream on it.
Sadly, D20PFSRD isn't a "PFS legal authority" since they purposefully include 3PP material. The bit you reference is for home games...
You may wish to post the DC for your ear piercing scream.

You can get a wayfinder mod that doed detect magic instead of light. Helps for alchemists ;)

First, the GM has already allowed it, so this is a moot point. But:
DC= 1 weakness / defence
For each +5 you remember one extra.
That is incorrect. There's no DC 1. Rather:
In general, the DC of such a check equals 10 + the monster's CR. For common monsters, such as goblins, the DC of this check equals 5 + the monster's CR. For particularly rare monsters, such as the tarrasque, the DC of this check equals 15 + the monster's CR, or more. A successful check allows you to remember bit of useful information about that monster. For every 5 points by which your check result exceeds the DC, you recall another piece of useful information.
source (emphasis added above for readability)
There will, of course, be table variance in PFS. But, a lot of judges / GMs treat 'a bit of useful information' as the successful identification of the monster. (That is useful.) Defense, Offense, and Special Abilities are often treated as +5 pieces of information. (This was frequently the case at PaizoCon, for example.) Some judges won't even let you pick which bit(s) of extra info you get because memory / recall isn't that specific.
Again, no knock on anyone here--especially for something so trivial. As you put it, this is ultimately the GM's prerogative.
not technically sure he should even know that
However, the fact that he was hesitant exemplifies the point: the assumption of a successful knowledge check was borderline in this case.
