This should be set up for a reply to make it easier for you (deleting everything above). I would like the top information all a a single line. When I create chronicles, I can cut and paste this quickly.
RLname * CharacterName * PFSnumber * Faction
This information will make gameplay easier. When I need to bot someone they will have already made their action. Make sure to add the appropriate modifier and the final closed bracket (])to the die rolls.
Re-Roll:Y/N
Most likely use:
Day Job:
Typical combat action:
[dice=default combat action]1d20+ [/dice
[dice=damage]+ [/dice
[dice=attack of opportunity]1d20+ [/dice
[dice=damage]+ [/dice
i was looking at your avi awen, which shows ranger 6/rogue 2. If that is not correct I will updated the chronicle on the morrow.

Tripp Elliott * Milton Smithson * 55238-2 * Dark Archive
Re-Roll:Y
Most likely use: Save or suck situations
Day Job:
Typical combat action: Raise 2 Judements or Bane (as swift action), and swing away with my mace and power attack
Most likely judgements to raise are: Protection (+2 to AC), Justice (+2 to hit). Healing (3 hp per round if I have taken damage)
Bane would add +2/+2 and +2d6 damage
Judgements and Bane not applied to the below numbers:

Again, this scenario simply highlights that Society Agents are thugs.
I have played some scenarios where you are assigned missions as Aspis Consortium Agents, you know, the "bad guys." Well, I've not been assigned an Aspis mission that was remotely close to the worst of the Pathfinder missions I've had.

Houston Midkiff * Sai'Dothwyn * 133512-1 * Grand Lodge
Re-roll Yes
Most likely use:To save another first, herself second via a well timed skill check or save, or attack roll should that be able to either draw attention from an attacker or end a fight.
Day Job: Profession(Tatoo Artist)+9
Typical combat action= She can select the damage type as a free action from weapon versatility feat, B,P or S and she counts as cold iron and silver. She will burn a fervor to use a Swift action to activate divine favor (provides +3 to hit and damage)
If move and standard then:
or Flurry when able:
She will have only use her adamantine temple sword if facing hardness.
She will usually have mage armor up well in advance of going into hostile situations and often she will have her wand out and ready to activate shield if opponents are tough.
Hopefully dotting in will do that. I can remove folks, but not add them (I don't think I can) KaKaw is already showing in the characters page.

Considering the outages that have been happening lately, I am passing out my Google ID in case anyone has Google Hangouts and wishes to add me for communication that doesn't involve Paizo trickeries :-) No offense meant to any lurkers!! I promise!!!
Anyways, if you wish to check up on the game or to contact me for any reason, I am on Google Hangouts, and my address is dragonthoughts83@gmail.com

@Venture T. --> In the future, if you use google slides instead of google drawings for your map pages, people with ipads will be able to access and move their own minis around. That is something that Milton is dealing with right now. I have an ipad as well, but also a PC and an android so it doesn't impact me like it does him and many other people. Just a suggestion.
There was a reason I didn't switch to slides, but i dinnae recall what it is now. I willl give it another shot.
My fire wizard's last adventure was on the plane of water. Fire spells require caster level checks there, so I instead prepared mostly buff spells (bear's endurance, haste) and magic missile. Aikio has a fire elemental familiar and I basically played it as a gold-fish shaped ball of steam following the tengu around. :) the one chance I got to switch it from fire damage though, the party really really needed it.
Metamagic is very cool (as your toppling MM can atest.), but the system has removed it from the game with the presence of rods. Anyone can use a rod negating the need to specialize in a particular area. Using the actual feats is difficult until you have spell slots in the 6th or 7th level range. Even then, usually a 6th level spell is a better option than an empowered 3rd level one IMHO.
On to your actual question:
I think as a pathfinder the creature's with energy resistance you are most likely to meet will be devils and demons. They might account for about half, with demons probably outweighing devils 3 to 1. It might just be the scenarios I have played but I think I have encountered more air elementals than the other three combined.
Demons have: immunity to electricity and poison.
Resistance to acid 10, cold 10, and fire 10.
Devils have: immunity to fire and poison.
Resistance to acid 10, and cold 10.
As for the scenario... most fire creatures have cold vulnerabilities.
As you knew you were coming to the elemental plane of fire, am I ok retconning the purchase to before the scenario.

Having the right spell for the right situation at the right time is often hard to do with spell prep and spells known limits, and metamagic energy rods offer greater flexibility. Other metmagics offer useful tweaks to old spell favorites, such as a rime cold fireball or a dazing fireball. I am only talking fireballs because they are so dang iconic.

My focus on metamagic for characters is usually for making spells last longer, have them be silent, or still, etc. Toppling is nice.
There are spells that you might not think of making them last longer, but how about say Infernal Healing? By doubling its duration it heals for 20 hit points vice 10. Not bad, and the greater version will heal for 80 instead of 40.
Intensified Spell is a phenomenal Metamagic Feat for some spells. It's ok for magic missile but how about for snowball, fireball, lightning bolt etc? Especially if you make that your spell assigned to the Magical Lineage trait.
10d6 on a touch attack, with no save or SR on damage, and a possible round of being staggered? All for a 1st level spell slot on an Intensified snowball? Yes please!
Considering this is the group I ran for Gameday V I am a little shocked to see that Gameday VI is already begun. I encourage everyone to GM a game. We have been extremely lucky since Mike allowed a virtual con and I am glad to see it continue to grow.
I am looking forward to playing in one soon too. :)
Milton did ask for a description of the gorget (and it is a gorget).
The jawbone also is an actual jawbone though it has been bronzed to make it into a trophy.

To Milton, here is were the flank opportunity was made
Swiftly calling upon Nethys to grant divine favor upon his devoted follower, Sai darts around Ewari in order to offer Milton a flanking attack. Knowing this will provoke from the efreet, Sai moves defensively, making herself even more difficult to strike. Once she is in place, she lashes out once with a stunning back handed fist.
** action breakdown spoiler **
swift action to use 1 fervor and cast divine favor, move action that provokes from Ewari to get into flank, then standard action to attack from flank, with menacing property of her amulet to get +4 to hit(and this is also +4 to Milton when he attacks), Stunning fist DC18 Fort
Actually she goes before Sai, meaning the flank isn't in effect for Sai. (I didn't say anything as you still hit).
SR: Milton(25) opens door, efreeti(7) is surprised, Sai(4) closes with efreeti,
R1: Milton(25) casts spell closes with efreeti, efreeti(7) adjusts and attacks Sai, Sai(4) moves around efreeti.
Though you (Sai) said you would provoke an AoO from the Efreeti, I assumed you did not want to also provoke from the drake. I also assumed you would not intentionally step into a position where you are flanked (between the drake and efreeti). Avoiding AoO and being flanked is something I assume for experienced Pathfinders. If I assumed incorrectly then Milton will have flanking in R2, but I will continue with my experienced Pathfinder assumption until corrected. :)
No worries, it is just a minor retcon that will happen in the medium of PbP. :)
If you get a chance, roll your next attack against the drake.
Will you please, have fun?
Aye. We should be done in a week or 10 days. If we nerf Sai's attack the combats could last as much as three days!
EDIT: If we want to speed it up, I could make a list of all the remaining (non-combat) checks, have Fendel double the DC everyone roll them & I can present everything narratively. :p

How long has it been since we left the security complex, and then how long has it been since we started the combat here?
Lets stick to the right side staircase and sweep the rooms above, right to left(counter clockwise) starting with rooms closest to the top of the stairs(marked "office").
Normally I like to clear a place so nothing is behind me but if nothing has come out of either storage or the pool area on the ground floor then then they can wait till after we clear the top. We may still have the advantage of some sort of surprise and I would like to see if that works in our favor.
We can hit the storage and pool on our way back down before we leave.
Also I think maybe it is a good idea to spread the evidence around instead of just drop it all in one place. It may look strange and less believable if it is all gathered together. That really isn't Sai's forte but I imagine Fendel would know the best way to make it look "authentic".

Fendel quickly joins Sai in searching the room. Seeing the other two heading to the other doorway, the detective mutters "I hope they know what they are doing." He sets that distraction aside and focuses on the task at hand. Perhaps this will be an opportune location for some of the evidence. It would be best to spread it around a little, otherwise it will seem suspiciously convenient for whomever discovers it.
Already on it my friend, but good just to check in and remind everyone.
My post got et last night. I figure it has been an hour and a half since first engaging the security complex.
