OK I need a handful of things from y'all.
PFS Number (PM me if you would rather).
Faction (will show up if you have it set on your Avatar.
Please put perception and AC plus anything else I might have to look up frequently into the sex/race slots of the character's profile (see Seaweed for an example).

Define your characters default attack option (for when I need to DMPC).

A handful of dice for later when timing is an issue. These may or may not be used. Be sure to include any special circumstances (darkvision or loyalty trait for example)

This should be set up for a reply. Make sure to add the appropriate modifier and the final closed bracket (])

Faction: Osirion

Default Attack: Unarmed +1 (1d3 + 1d4 bleed)

Let me know if it doesn't show you what you need. I have Branson's entire statblock in his profile as well.

If you end up making the call, Branson prefers to Bless or Bane when combat initiates.

He'll heal rather than harm usually, but he's no pacifist, and will take AOO's when presented, which could be often, as being unarmed many assume cannot attack.

On a PC that is down, Branson will Rebuke Death at first, rather an cast a healing spell.

Branson prefers talking to fighting as well.

Loyal to companions, Osirion, and the Pathfinder Society, in that order.

Heal checks and Heal spells do not provoke AOO's when he does them.

Any other basic questions?

Dang it, posted with the wrong alias in the gameplay thread, so now that alias lists as a Character.

Are we missing two folks? Seems we're missing the Magus 2, and I don't think I know what the other class is.

We've got:

Bard 1
Oracle 1
Druid 1
Cleric 2

Did we miss any classes that can cast CLW at first level? Luckily this appears to be a talky talky thinky thinky scenario, so no combat expected, right?

Don't mind me, I'm fiddling with ways of using the profile and headers with spoilers to get info readily available.

Melon's default attack option involves attacking with her talons and bite. Whatever does most damage if she has to pick.

Dylara will tell Melon to retreat at low HP.

Alrighty then, so as everyone immediately dives into the game, with their primary goal being to accomplish their faction mission, I have a couple questions:

1) I'm happy to do faction missions, and wish they weren't removed from the game, but I trust they aren't affecting PP and such, as they were removed. It won't matter, as Imma get mine done!
2) What is the protocol for being sneaky, and "passing notes" to the GM in a PBP game, so as to be able to do things unnoticed by the others?

It's most polite not to read spoilers meant for other people, but if you're worried about it, you can always send a PM to the GM. Click on the little envelope at the very top of the page for private messages, or click the private message link from the GM's profile.

Yep, no concerns there, I only read mine. The question is, should I make a spoiler back for the GM then?

If it concerns something you want only the GM to know, use an '@GM' spoiler.

I imagine if you go to a place of the ship where no one else is and you want to keep your activities there a secret, you may also want to do that.

Sorry, the 'can edit' has been fixed. I got it to work, but as I am the owner, I don't know if that is a good test. It did not work with the zoom twice though.
I should have been a little more clear on the 'right click.'
I should have said right click on your avatar (on this page), then navigate to the map to paste.
Branson, I will keep it up to-date for now, no rush. Everyone else can at least see the map correct?

A small part of this adventure is to show the tedious nature of sailing across a sea. Though you are welcome to rush things if you want, I might add additional times in short expose. Let me know if this is a problem.

In response to Malleck's comments about not knowing anything about sailing in the Gameplay thread. I think Branson might throw down at least a single rank of Profession(sailor) when he gets to third level. A decent number of PFS scenarios happen on boats, so it can't hurt.

GM, did Lizzy's offer of doing oddjobs on deck get accepted, or will she just entertain the crew?

Lizzy I keep meaning to answer this in character, but yes they will. 'Entertaining' the crew has a very different meaning for these scallywags though....

Thanks to everyone for your patience.

I have been lurking through my phone & will get an update done tonight, but it will be late.
