As you may have gathered from my absence, I’ve made a few enemies who would be all too pleased to see me leave the region—or worse. Like so many matters in the River Kingdoms, the range of thugs that might want an honest explorer dead are as diverse and numerous as the kingdoms
themselves. The last several months of my time here have been exciting and perilous enough that exactly who my real enemies are is unclear. Until I can sort out the sides, I’m lying low in a nearby hideout. I should be safe there and can meet with you soon to complete our transaction.
Ignoring 18 Hardness is quite impressive! Even adamantine won't be able to stop you. :)
I have no idea what 'good' damage is at level 11, but that does sound quite nasty, Brock. :)
Just dropping in to say that as Christmas approaches, I will have a few traditional family events that will make it hard for me to post on certain days. The first few events will be tomorrow (Friday), and Sunday, but Saturday may be a bit of a struggle too. Of all my games, y'all are my priority and I will try to keep things moving nicely, but if things slow down slightly, you'll know why. ;)

Oh, I have a huge family that all fights with each other, and young children, so I'll be out for days around Christmas.
No worries if you guys don't post during the holidays, or on some of the days leading up to the holidays. December's a crazy month. I have four birthdays to celebrate this weekend alone.
Right? We have a pretty great pace so slowing down isn't a big deal especially for a big Holiday. I work at a computer most of the time and luckily (for now) they don't block Paizo. They are on to me though...they got d20pfsrd the other week, lol.

6-05 Slave Ships of Absalom
6-01 Trial by Machine
6-02 The Silver Mount Collection
Removed a couple:
6-22 Out of Anarchy
6-06 Hall of the Flesh Eaters
And swapped all Season 4 scenarios for Season 7 ones. How does that look for everyone?
I've played Slave Ships, but everything else looks good!
(I believe everyone could play Rise of the Goblin Guild. Maybe we could swap that out for Slave Ships? Or I could sit it out and GM a game to catch him up. )
Also, I'm excited to see this group go through some of those multi part series!
Male Human cavalier [DC] 2 / gunslinger [MS] 1 | Init +2, Senses Perception +6 | AC 19/12/17 (+6 armor, +2 Dex, +1 Shield)Fort +6, Ref +4, Will +0, +2 vs curse, fear, and emotion effects | | HP 25/25 | Challenge 1/1 | Demoralize 1/1 | Grit 2/2 | Tactician 1/1 | Condition:
Query: dealing nonlethal damage does nothing to the "lethal" hp track, right? You still have to do full nonlethal hp damage to drop a dude even if he has taken lethal damage?
Edit: I ask because I only started Pathfinder last Feb. Prior to that my last PnP wad AD&D 2nd ed some... uh, many years ago so Im still learning aspects of this system.
Danicka has the right of it. NL damage is a separate track, but if someone has more NL damage than their current HP, then they are knocked out.

Yaiho cannot play Goblin Guild, but I can easily swap out Slave Ships for something else. I only really added it because of the number of Liberty Edge characters here, I wasn't really a fan when I played it. ;)
I'll have another look through the scenarios available, and pick something else for our next outing.
I would probably normally bot about now, but since I already said that I'm unlikely to post this weekend (especially tomorrow,) it doesn't really make any sense to do so. I'll see you tomorrow evening (my time), but until then, I think I have the final list of scenarios:

It's the same as the last list except that Slave Ships was replaced by The Sun Orchid Scheme. ;)

Hey, sorry. I didn't realize it at first, since the GM running it didn't advertise it very well, but I'm currently playing 7-14,7-16 and 7-18, the Faithless and Forgotten trilogy with another character. Can we swap that one for something else as well? It's placed a level 3 on your list.
Male CG Half-Orc Unchained Barbarian (Invulnerable Rager) 6.1 | AC 21 (T 13/FF 19) | CMB +11 CMD 24 (FF 22)+2 CMB/CMD Sunder | HP 65/65 | Init +3 | Fort +7 Ref +4 Will +2 | Perception +5 | Darkvision 60' | Speed 30' | Orc Ferocity 1/1 | Rage 12/16 | Draw Weapon as Free Action during Surprise | +2 STR & Ignore 2 Hardness to break object+Smasher: Ignore 6 Hardness | Damage Reduction (3/-), (6/lethal) | Extreme Cold Endurance(Cold Resistance: 1)| Active Conditions:
Difficult to say. The problem was that I am already committed to a Season 4 long campaign which has already started. I gave a list early of the conflicting chronicles with the original list.
Here is the list of chronicles the other campaign is running.
Other Season 4 Campaign:
The Consortium Compact
Rise of the Goblin Guild
Severing Ties
The Disappeared
The Cypermage Dilemma
The Veteran's Vault
In Wraith's Shadows
The Sanos Abduction
The Blakros Matrimony
My Enemy's Enemy
The Way of the Kirin
The Way of the Kirin
Glories of the Past 1
Glories of the Past 2
Glories of the Past 3
Rivalry's End
The Golemworks Incident
The Green Market
King of th Storval Stairs
The Cultist's Kiss
The Refugee of Time
The Fabric of Reality
Tower of Ironwood Watch
The Walking Rune
Not to worry, there are three more scenarios that I could add to replace the trilogy with (7-24 Dead Man's Debt, 7-12 The Twisted Circle, and 6-22 Out of Anarchy,) or I could swap the whole trilogy for a single module (Masks of the Living God.) What do y'all think?
Something I got for my large roc companion for another character is to get it the belt of the weasel. You do need to get your animal companion to get the feat Extra Item Slot (PFS Guide pg 22), but with the compression ability, your large animal companion can go anywhere with you. Even some places you can't. Without penalty. :)
Lets go with the module then, it might be an interesting change of pace and seems quite fitting after this most recent quest.

Umbru, if you wanted to stick around for a bit, is there any arrangement of the lower level games that'll allow you to have a bit of a run before we start doing all the scenarios you have already played?

Thanks for considering. Hmm, of the lower level ones (L1-L5), these are the ones I haven't played.
7-01 Between the Lines
Masks of the Living God
6-01 Trial by Machine
Lol! So really don't plan with me. It would be rather challenging. :)
Eep, that is a bummer, Umbru! I am very surprised, however, that we [i]do[i] have a list that works for five out of six of you. I really wasn't expecting that when I first mentioned the long campaign to y'all. :)
Okay, so it is official then, the next game will be 7-21 The Sun Orchid Scheme and I'll have to recruit one more player. I think it'll be best if I ask for support character, or at least someone who knows how to use a wand of cure light wounds. ;)

I'll give the Ghost Rider a shot next adventure, then decide when I hit level 2.
Yes, I love the 1st level rebuild rules for exactly this reason. You get to try a few things to make sure they work with your character without being committed to anything from the get go. :)
That's really up to you, Forrest. If I have to recruit someone anyway, it should be easy to find a Bard or similar character, but if you want to play as a Bard, go for it. :)

I find it a little bit funny. For a while now, I've been wanting to do a long PFS campaign with the same group of players/characters and suddenly I'm in three of them. This one, the Season 4 one, and a Emerald Spire one doing the entire thing.
Just a warning, I might not be able to get another update done until quite late tonight, or tomorrow morning. I have an especially heavy load at work, and plenty of letters to write today. ;)
Not a problem. I understand the work load issue all too well. It rains when it pours here.

I honestly wouldn't mind switching out to one of my other characters. This being a chance to see a character develop not just in the role playing perspective but also mechanically. Gunslinger is still just a gunslinger at all levels.
I can always nab something that can at least use a wand. My -1 is an alchemist and I have plenty of ideas for others.

I keep trying to find a way to make a Picaroon (swash archetype) work, but the mechanics are just so sub par its hard to justify over anything else, not to mention you pretty much have to go 1 level of gunslinger so testing in PFS isn't possible without passing the point of no return.
Haha, that's the first time I've ever seen a pathfinder faint. Nicely done! :)
---
Sinaryn, if you want a character that evolves mechanically over the course of a campaign, an Alchemist might be a very good choice. The sheer weirdness of some of their discoveries and the way the mutagen can change could provide some nice roleplay. Totally up to you, whatever you decide to go for, I'll try to fill in any gaps in skills or abilities when I recruit the last member of our party. ;)
