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 you have any special requests, e.g. lesser restoration from Provide Spellcasting (see below), let me know and I call out to the other GMs to see if anyone can help.
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 1d8 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 15. Boosted Effect: +1d8 points of damage.
Burst of Healing: A Pathfinder agent heals all of the PCs of 1d6 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 2. 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. The competence bonus is +1. 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.
Fey Allies:
All PCs and companion creatures gain a single-use benefit they can use during Part 4. As a free action on its turn, a creature can use its benefit to gain either DR/1 or cold resistance 3 until the end of that encounter. Each PC and companion creature can select a different benefit.

Zarnel has now thrown both of his javelins, so he's out of ranged attack options for now. Who decides which attack a boost gets added to? Zarnel's last javelin is almost certainly a hit, but I don't want to just take the boost without concurrence.
But I do agree that we might ought to use this one versus passing it on.

I'm fine with using it since, as Sangkip noted, I think our ranged options are largely limited to a few minor spells and crossbow bolts at this point. So it would help to make the hits we do get count.

Well, a couple of us still have pending boosted allied offensives, and I think you can only benefit from 1 per encounter. Unless the encounter granted one is independent from the aid token. If they are all counted together I'd say boost and pass, if they are independent then we may as well get another allied offensive to shoot these guys out of the air. Chou is decent with her crossbow, but it is merely a crossbow.
The bonus from the aid token is treated separately from that coming from the Twinhorn warriors, so can be used in the same encounter. Not that it matters now! Let me know if you want to pass it on, or keep it for the next encounter which I'll be posting up shortly.

Enough of us have damage on us that we might as well pop it for a burst of healing and hand it off. Having boosted and passed 2 we can be greedy on 1 right?

I'm a little confused about one aspect of the aid tokens. It says I still have a use; do I need to make an attack? Am I holding it up instead of it going to the next table?
One of the special conditions that occurs after a certain amount of success amongst all tables, gives everyone an effect similar to the boosted allied offensive token on their next successful attack.
We've had all of ours trigger already, you just haven't hit anything yet, so yours is still waiting to go.

Ah, good. I was a little worried when I noticed it, but all seems well. Now to make a successful attack roll!

Stupid thought...
If someone were to give me enough insight into where the hand is, could Draklor use Song of Fiery Gaze, then everyone readies action for the next time I breathe fire to use a ranged attack to hit it?
Anyway, since they are already down, in case anyone is wondering why I didn't keep the skeletons within the stone circle together with the hand and force you guys to enter to fight them, I ruled that because the skeletons are unintelligent creatures, they would go straight for the nearest threats, i.e. you. On the other hand, the hand has some intelligence (even if it's not much), so it should know enough to attempt to draw you into the circle.
And to add on to what I shared about low-light vision, I quote the conditions for low-light vision here.
Low-light Vision wrote:
Characters with low-light vision have eyes that are so sensitive to light that they can see twice as far as normal in dim light. Low-light vision is color vision. A spellcaster with low-light vision can read a scroll as long as even the tiniest candle flame is next to him as a source of light.
Characters with low-light vision can see outdoors on a moonlit night as well as they can during the day.
The common misconception that those with low-light vision can see normally in dim light conditions stems from the last line. But that is merely a special exception case from the first paragraph. The text itself does not negate the effects of dim light on characters with low-light vision, except for when they are outdoors on a moonlight night (which is the current condition now).
Looks like you guys don't need the aid token, but it's already boosted with knowledge and allied offensive, and the other boosts might not be worth the party committing its resources for now. So either someone could use the allied offensive, or 575 could get the free 1d6 healing, and we can pass it on?

Hey folks, I'm working today - will try and check in when I can but if it comes down to waiting on me then please bot Corona and I'll catch up later tonight :)

Hey folks, just notice that I'll be off to a work training thing in New York State Sunday the 15th and will be gone through Friday the 20th. I'll have my laptop with me but I have no idea what my posting availability will be - definitely only in the evenings, if that. To be on the safe side, please go ahead and bot Corona as needed and if I have a chance to check in and post during my trip I'll do so. Otherwise, I'll catch up properly when I get home Friday - though I know we should be wrapped up by then.
Also, what time I do have I'll be giving to my GMed games first (except my own table of this which has a backup GM lined up) and then this one second so if you happen to see posts from GM Ladile elsewhere but nothing here, that'll be why. Hopefully that'll avoid any 'CORONA I SEE U POSTIN Y U NO POST FOR SS!?!??' confusion :)
Could someone please confirm whether Zarnel can make it to the Dragon in this round? I think he can, but...
I know he can fly-charge, and his base fly speed is 40 cause he's wearing Medium armor. But the 1/2 distance for 45 degree climbs, and the fact that the dragon is nearly overhead confuse me. I'm a pilot IRL - this shouldn't be this hard!
Yeah it's fine. Whether you count via pythagoras theorem or going by this FAQ, she's 40 feet away. In fact, you only need fly 35ft, since you can occupy the space below her to attack.
Need a fly check DC20 though to fly at greater than 45 degrees. You have a total of additional bonus of +6 to the fly check (+4 for good manueverability, +2 from fly spell).
