Welcome and thanks for signing up for this run of Between the Lines, folks!
First off, I'd like to introduce myself a bit to those of you who haven't played with me before. I'm GM Mjolbeard. I've been playing PFS for a little over 2 years now, much of which has included PBP as a venue. I highly value the game, and love to do as much as I can to throw in a lot of role-play with my roll-play. With that in mind, here are a few expectations that I will hold for myself as well as my players in this game:
1) Please try to maintain a posting rate of 1+ post/weekday. Weekends are almost always busier for me than weekdays in one way or another, so I may or may not post during that timeframe. I'd accept the same from you. Within those posting rates, I'd love to see as much role-play from each of you as you feel comfortable with. Particularly good role-play can potentially earn things like circumstance bonuses on various rolls.
2) Please list important information about your character in the Classes/Levels section of your stat block. Please also have your full character sheet available in your character's profile. If you're at all unsure what I'm talking about, feel free to take a look at my PFS characters for some examples.
3) I'll roll initiative for combats and perception for potential surprise situations. I'll also provide information for knowledge checks in spoilers with the DCs listed. Please refrain from reading the spoilers unless you make the DC with the appropriate skill check.
That's it for the most part. As far as start date goes, I'd like to have everyone dotted in a getting warmed up on November 24, then we'll really get things going after the weekend on November 27. For now, please provide the requested info for your character using the template below. You can also dot in on the gameplay thread with your character of choice.
Other info: Played Pathfinder for several years now, but first time user on PFS Society. I think I'm doing something wrong, but I haven't yet figured it out and now I have to go to work. Once I'm back I'll see if I can't figure it out. Did just want to check in with you, though.

Hey folks! Thanks for checking in! I think we just need Ehm Sven Nein to check in and we'll all be here and ready for our official start on the 27th.
Please feel free to continue chatting here or in Gameplay while we wait. In the meantime, I'll be continuing my preparations for the scenario. I'm looking forward to playing with you all!
Player: Mark M
Character: Ehm Sven Nein
PFS#: 30504-9
Starting XP: 7
Starting PP: 9
Starting Fame: 13
Starting Gold: 3,350 (but I'm going to buy a Haversack and a few other minor items)
Day Job: craft alchemy:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24
GM, Sorry the alchemy check had a +15, so it should be 28.
Dwozer, what spells are in your spell book? I don't want to double up on spells you are going to prepare. Do you mind if I scribe any I don't have? I don't think you can learn them from me.
iirc: My alchemist can neither learn spells from nor teach them to the witch.
Seijiro, I would like to learn Adhesive Spittle, Firebelly, Shock Shield, and Heightened Awareness from you.
I could teach you Bomber's Eye, Keen Senses, Identify, Polypurpose Panecea, True Strike, Ant Haul, Detect Secret Doors, Expeditious Retreat, and Longshot. Don't know if you want all of them though. Up to you of course.
I might buy a few more formula for my book and/or scrolls depending upon the mission briefing. Other than that, the character is done and the avatar is updated.

@GM: Statblock and Statlines updated with new purchases =) Old lines were a level behind (hadn't played this character on PbP before).. turns out he's more chatty than I remembered xD

@Crypt and Fargrim: weird thing is, I thought I did send a post to ring the bells for the GM about 12 hours ago, turns out it either got swallowed by the net, or I forgot to hit Submit =P
@GM: life finds a way to interrupt our games, we're still here, don't sweat it.

no worries, life hits all of us.
@PCs - help! Aid-another with diplomacy may be helpful here.
Hey, if your character is a language nut, it would totally makes sense for him to see if he recognizes any of the signs! Do what seems right for the character playing now, even if you as a player know some of the mechanical reasons for the check. Besides, there’s always a chance you’ll fail!

sorry if I'm slow posting the last few days and the next few as well... We are suffering from high winds and surrounded by fires in all directions. Constant power outages from the winds and service outages from both power problems and the fires are playing hell with my connection. I will post as I can, but please bot me if necessary.. thanks.
So, I have to ask. Are there any banks in PFS society setting? I'm like 5gp short of being able to afford the listed price of a cold iron scimitar, I'd hate to have to go into debt with Murqual to get one. Just asking
Acro +12, Appraise +6, Climb +4, Disable D. +15, Escape A. +11, Know(Geo) +6, Know(Local) +9, Linguistics +9, Sleight of H. +12, Spellc. +6, Stealth +12, Survival +5, Swim +4, UMD +6
Setting wise, I'm only aware of the Bank of Abadar for keeping your money in and paying to others (like Murqual's brand new Abadaran promissory note), but Golarion is still missing credit based operations, along the lines of WIZArd, FighterCard, or Taldan Express =P
According to the RPG Guide, characters cannot lend or give money to another PC, so I can buy the CI Scimitar, lend it to Crypt for use on the scenario, and sell it after we are done =)

But losing 15gp is better than losing a PC, or having someone else lose the PC =P
I GM 2 out every 3 games for this character (don't like leaving an unplayed level) so I spend less in consumables than I should, so I usually have a bit to spare for the party. That said, the CI ECB is expensive as Mammoth Lords Hot Cocoa, and they don't grow cocoa trees up there!

ECB?
Anyway, if you are short, Fargrim is more than willing to also pick up the difference.
Acro +12, Appraise +6, Climb +4, Disable D. +15, Escape A. +11, Know(Geo) +6, Know(Local) +9, Linguistics +9, Sleight of H. +12, Spellc. +6, Stealth +12, Survival +5, Swim +4, UMD +6
ECB = Elven Curve Blade (damn long name on the damn long sword)
I wasn't the short one, I was going to buy a scimitar for Crypt's (ab)use, but GM Mjolbeard turned it into a non-issue, we can all fight happy now =P
(And on the picking up the difference part, the rules don't allow for tab-splitting, unless it's consumables [and someone bites the bullet at the end if unused] or spellcasting services)
EDIT: rereading your post Fargrim, just noticed the the "if you are short" wasn't aimed at me xD

I'll be away from around the 30th for about a week. While I might get an odd post in, don't count on it. Please feel free to bot Fargrim as seems appropriate.
We haven't had any posts from Ehm since December 6, and I did a bit of snooping around his other campaigns, and it looks like the same is true there as well, so I'm going to have to drop Ehm from the game. I'm sending him a PM as well to see if he's able to come back, but he'll be out for now at least.
Please make sure to post as regularly as you're able. I try to keep a decent pace, though I know I falter in that regard pretty frequently. Life does happen, but let's be fair to one another and all contribute to making this a good game, even if it's not at a super rapid pace.
Hey folks! Just wanted to let you know I’ll be out of town through Wednesday and probably won’t be able to post much. I may get in an odd post here or there, but we’ll basically be on hold for a few days. Sorry for the delay.

I'm off on an impromptu camping trip with the family for a couple of days, so you may have to bot me. Sorry for the short notice.
Hey folks. I apologize for disappeared from the forums on you like that. It is not normal behavior for me. Not an excuse, but I had some major personal issues come up. I won't be signing up for any more online games until and unless I'm pretty sure it won't crop up again.
I hope I didn't disrupt your game too much and that you were able to replace me or press on without me.

If you are down hp, I can heal your hp as well, but it looked like you were only a couple of hp down.
I think that's my fault, Fargrim. I thought he had been healed up after a previous fight, but I think Crypt has been keeping up with his hp in his header.
Crypt, to your question, I believe coming back to 0 means you wake up, but are staggered. Healing would probably be a good idea for everyone...

Thanks for the game Mjolbeard. This is a pretty wacky scenario. The maps are certainly quite different.
Hey there folks! Thanks for playing! I know it was a bit touch and go for a bit there and we lost a couple people, but you all came through like champs.
And now for your reward! Here are your Chronicles! If you find any issues, please let me know.

It looks like I gave you the wrong starting cash for Fargrim.
She had 8184 at the start. You also undercharged me by 1gp for the magic starknife!
