During the event, it is possible for characters at one table to assist those at another with Aid Tokens. Each represents the assistance of allied Pathfinder agents who assist the PCs.
Once per encounter, any character at a table can use an Aid Token to assist the group in one of the ways described below. Once a table uses an Aid Token, pick another table and I'll see it is passed onto them.
If a table receives an Aid Token and doesn’t need its benefits, they’re encouraged to boost its potency by expending some of their own resources or attempting a skill check. Boosting an Aid Token, including attempting a skill check, is part of passing that Aid Token to another table. A table can neither retry such a skill check nor boost an Aid Token more than once before passing it to another table.
A table may boost a token even while in combat without taking any in-round actions; the scenario assumes the aid was granted before that encounter began.
Some Aid Token benefits may only be used if already boosted by another table. An Aid Token’s benefits vary based on the table’s subtier, and these benefits can take one of the following forms.
Allied Offensive: A Pathfinder agent strikes a creature at the same time as the PC, increasing the damage dealt by one attack by 2d8 points. In addition, after the attack, anyone attacking the target is considered to be flanking it until the beginning of the attacker’s next turn. To Boost: Succeed at an attack roll against an AC 23. Boosted Effect: +1d8 points of damage.
Burst of Healing: A Pathfinder agent heals all of the PCs of 3d6 points of damage. To Boost: Expend one use of channel positive energy or cast one spell with the healing descriptor with a spell level greater than or equal to 4. A PC must cast this spell, not simply activate a wand or scroll. Boosted Effect: +2d6 points of damage healed.
Timely Inspiration: A Pathfinder agent provides the effects of a bard’s inspire courage bardic performance for 3 rounds. In Subtiers 1–2 and 3–4, the competence bonus is +2. To Boost: Expend 3 rounds of bardic performance or similar ability. Boosted Effect: Increase the competence bonus by 1.
Provide Knowledge (must be boosted): Gain the benefits of a Knowledge skill check or Spellcraft skill check used to identify a magical item; the type and difficulty (Easy, Average or Hard) depend on the table granting the benefit. To Boost: Succeed at a Knowledge check of your choice, the result of the check (Easy, Average or Hard) should be noted on the Aid Token.
Provide Spellcasting (must be boosted): Gain the benefits of a beneficial spell cast by an ally as listed on the Aid Token. To Boost: Cast one of the following spells lesser restoration, neutralize poison, remove curse, or remove disease. Only these spells may be granted. Expending resources that produce the effects of these spells, such as a paladin’s mercy class feature, may also
grant these benefits.

The only round I didn't see an action from Parrim was this last round but that seems to be because the round ended early because combat ended.
On a side note I think using the aid token as a channel is a good use and then I will top everyone off with my clw wand. I'll wait till I get everyone's approval before rolling the channel (or someone else can) and then once that happens, I'll roll my healing.

Also, I am willing to take on another challenge. But I think this ends tomorrow. They said we have 11 days for this part. So may be we can get lucky and get another win. Do want to take the archers or the leaders?

No, we just protected the caravan. I believe there was 4 options. Fighting them on the battle field (first we did) protecting the caravan (the one we just finished) the archers and the leaders. But let's go kill some leaders!

Okay I used the token to heal and then used my wand to top us off. Hopefully we can drop the leaders quickly.

I know our GM said that they were going away for the next few days, but weren't we supposed to get a sub GM to keep it moving?

Minor note but Inspire Courage isn't language dependent so the truespeech doesn't matter.
Rules question. Most Archons have protection from evil 10ft radius. Lantern Archons don't mention having that ability, But they have a +2 deflection bonus and resistance vs evil.
If they don't have the aura where are the bonuses coming from?

Okay, cool re. Inspire Courage. I thought it depended on the type of Performance. In this case Oratory (reciting some Epic tale), but even then it is only Audible?
No idea re. the +2... checked the Bestiary, and the others have the Circle vs. Evil noted, not the poor Lantern.

When inspiring courage you have to choose audible or visual but you don't even have to have any perform skills to use the ability.
But some Bardic Performance abilities such as Countersong are based on your skills.

I should be back on my old schedule again. Sorry again for this weekend.

Hello!
I will be flying out on Thursday, Oct' 5 (tomorrow) and then back on Monday, Oct' 9, and will be out in the Romanian countryside in between those dates.
I've arranged to have Internet access, so I should be able to post a couple times a day.
But I am giving this warning, so, in case I go dark, it'll be because something went wrong, so just bot me for those days if it happens.
@Numair,
I'm lacking your character details for the chronicle and reporting.
@Kyra,
Normally there is a limit on the boons for a pre-gen chronicle not being applied until the character is of the right level. However as this is a multi-tiered scenario, I'm thinking it might be better just to give you a chronicle as if you were first level - as you are applying it to a first level character.
I don't think that is really against the spirit of what they were trying to do with limiting application of chronicles, as you jumped into an empty seat and would presumably have preferred to play your actual character at an in-tier table.
Would you prefer that, or to have a level 7 chronicle that you either hold, or mark down the gold on to level 1 quantities?

Thanks so much for running this. You are a very good GM and this group was fun with our role-play. I hope to play more games with you all in the future.
Dylan/Kyra - this is a Core table, and the character number you provided is for a standard character
Can you make a new character clicking the CORE option when you create the character? The hero's who manage the reporting for the gameday came back to me saying this was causing them a problem.

Ohh, someone told me if I played a legal pre-gen in a core, I would still be able to apply to a non-core character. I guess I should of doubled checked before believing them. Yeah, I'll make a new character number for it tomorrow morning. I'll post when it's done.

Thank you. But you still have my starting prestiege as 26 instead of 23.
Btw how do we report when we switch a core character to a non core character? I did that with a character that had 3 core XP but didn't know where to report the change.

Here is my core character's number # 263825-2.
That is unfortunate that it can't be applied to Nigel. The ruling makes sense and I guess I shouldn't just listen to people with out checking with a VC or someone like that.
Well thanks for running this! It has been lots of fun!
I'll mark this as inactive now. Any further questions, please send via PM. Dylan, I'm happy to talk you through some of the core/classic complexities if you need a hand, just drop me a Personal Mail.
