Discussion thread is open for any questions, friendly banter, and so on. Please report here with your PFS number before we start.
As a side note, this scenario belongs to the Silver Crusade storyline, so I'll repost the faction letter:
Faction letter wrote: Abadius, 4714
Noble Crusader,
Let us always honor the fallen, especially the innocent who never invited violence and the heroes who gave their lives to protect those who could not protect themselves. The loss of life during the failed siege of Nerosyan was both regrettable and devastating. Nonetheless, our hard-won victory has strengthened our resolve and sired a new generation of battle-hardened crusaders to beat back the Abyss. That you valiantly aided the crusaders reflects well on you and the Society.
Over the months since that battle, I have worked alongside Sir Jorsal of Lauterbury, who is among the noblest souls I have found in the Society's ranks. With his help, we have repaired Nerosyan, secured Mendev's borders, and presented the Pathfinder Society's kinder image to the world. It is true that the Decemvirate does not always direct the Society in a selfless manner, yet even they can understand the benefits of being perceived as a force of good. Even a tyrant's heart can be coaxed away from evil if shown love instead of fear.
Every deed you do in the name of good reflects well on the Pathfinder Society and demonstrates that holiness is a virtue shared by the strongest agents. Each feat you perform in the name of the Silver Crusade strengthens the resolve of the Mendevian Crusaders, beating back the demonic armies so that future generations might settle Sarkoris once more. This is your chance to be a true hero.
The days to come will present difficult choices and difficult battles. I trust you will always show courage and make the right choices, so long as your actions do not threaten the lives of your allies. Let your actions be an inspiration to all—the faithful and the fallen, alike. The Pathfinder Society will set out for Jormurdun soon, and the expedition would benefit from your presence. In fact, with Sir Jorsal's support, I believe the other venture-captains may even choose you to direct part of the operation. Make the most of this opportunity.
Dawnflower's blessings,
Ollysta Zadrian

We lack a wizard. Sure we've got a bard 4 and a summoner 2, but does that make up for it? Just sayin...

I wouldn't know... We should be okay, though, this is less combat focused and thus probably not too huge of a hurdle.

I'll finish leveling Hiko this afternoon.

This will be my one of my first PFS games, so I am unsure abit as to how tracking levels and gear and what not goes. But otherwise I'm looking forward to RPing.

Looking forward to this one!
Alright, The Traitor's Lodge has just ended, which means Hiko, Jory and Fissa are available. We'll start immediately, please report to the Gameplay thread when you're ready to start!
Hiko, Jory and Fissa, I've already got your PFS number, so that's done.
Finally, please check in the Campaign Info tab that your Init/Perception modifiers are correct (including for your eidolon Mareck). Thanks and good luck!

Tbe last campaign was Hiko's 9th and she gained a level, putting a couple points into Perception. It is now +11.

Hello, Jory! Mareck adventured in the Temple of Empyreal Enlightenment with you. Back then he was a fighter, possessed by an otherworldy spirit (or was he just insane?). That concept wasn't working out for me, so I rebuilt him before 2nd level into a summoner.

I would absolutely love to pick-up a wand of cure light wounds (750 GP).

Bramelane has one particularly unusual ability that I should probably point out before we get into combat. As a specialist in the scrying school, he is forewarned, which means he gets to act in surprise rounds even if he has failed a Perception check to notice a foe. However, he is still flat-footed until he takes an action. He also adds half his level to his initiative checks.
The ability to see and hear remotely also comes from his specialization as a scryer.
Just to let you know, I'll be at the GardenCon from Thursday to Sunday. I'll try to check the boards as much as I possibly can, butI don't expect to be able to keep the pace for these four days. Feel free to continue roleplaying in the meantime, of course!

This would be a fantastic group to "keep role-playing" with but the situation is not so... ideal. Sigh, it would be fun though. Not that I have any objections to anyone visiting a con, enjoy!
I wanted to give you a heads-up: I'm back, but I haven't posted because there is something I need to clear up about the scenario first, and this phase's results depend on it. Stay tuned, I'll post as soon as I can!

Just to note I will be visiting a friend in Salt Lake City for a few days and may not be able to post with any regularity, especially tomorrow and Thursday (when I will be driving for 7+ hours).
I will be able to post but if I fail to do so timely feel free to bot me.
Bane appears to have dropped out without notice. No matter, we'll finish with five.
Also, no worries Hiko. Since we are nearing the end of this adventure, could you (and all other players for that matter) please already roll your day job (if you have any)?

sorry I've just been busy and the more diplomatically inclined seem to have this well in hand.
A my roommate's brother, also a friend of mine has been in the hospital due to an axe wound in the back.
Also these people are all racist! Tiefling hating racists!
I also ask for patience as this is a new character and I'm still trying to figure out the best way to play a stoic seeker of self perfection that wants to keep order.
I'm tempted to try the dark side of the philosophy that Irori is based on, which is the way of the closed palm. (Jade empire(Bioware) anybody?) ideally acting in a way that places strength as the strongest virtue, but not evil. Sort of forcing others to become stronger by creating adversity.
I don't know, anyways sorry about the lack of posts.
Glad to see you're back, Bane. If you have a day job, please roll it.

Cyril, I had to prepare and run this module for the local game day yesterday. I'll be sure not to spoil the plot for the others and will stay out of the strategic decisions from here on out.

Posting has been much slower these past days, and we're only a few steps from the end of the scenario. Could people please post once a day as was asked in the recruitment thread? Thanks.
Sorry...I didn't notice the "K" in the initiative order...probably because all of our names are much longer! When I noticed others acting in order I posted my action as well.

I like how this is almost a perfect representation of how crazy a battle really can be... it was a nice break from orderly fights, though I can see how much of a headache it could be.
Just a quick note to tell you all that Bane sent me a PM to announce he drops from the game officially.
Fissa, I still need your day job, please.

Somehow this one escaped my attention..
day job (sing): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22

Thank you for judging for us!

Thank you very much, and well done too! It's a tricky scenario to run, with all the things to keep track of. My hat is off to you. Makes a deep bow
You're welcome! It was my pleasure as well. My best reward is that your enjoyed it! :)

That ended quickly. Thanks for GMing this.
