A powerful ally of the Pathfinder Society has disappeared, and no one but the Pathfinders even remembers that she ever existed. Can the PCs discover the fate of their missing associate, or will all memory of her be erased completely from history?
Alright...I'll put the word out for our fourth player.

Nareth is a cleric of Zon-Kuthon, but his practice is very humble. He believes he has been cursed with the power of an evil god and his fate is to carry the burden of the Midnight Prince's expectations. All of the pain Zon-Kuthon expects Nareth inflicts on himself, appeasing his deity in a way that doesn't effect others. Unless asked or if you recognize a spiked chain as Zon-Kuthons favored weapon, you won't really be able to tell he serves an evil god until he channels negative energy.

Ok, and it looks like the rest of the party is neutral so unless somebody has a specific crux against Zon-Kuthon or self inflicted pain I think I should slide in smoothly. I remember the game I joined with him that had two paladins and a LG sorcerer...boy that one took a lot of talking.
Do we know when we're going to start?
Gameplay thread is active...we will begin in earnest on Monday.

Roland cares about the journey and the arrival, but not much else. He's a Pathfinder, so if you're against the society you might have problems, but if not there should not be any. Specially now, that he helped to convince Zamir to cooperate with the society.
He's smarter than the regular barbarians, so he got some extra experience to deal with those kind of situation.

Tromos is NG as you've noted, though I think his character still lacks a bit of definition. Trying to nail down a interesting high Int/low Cha personality without reverting to the 'snobby intellectual' or 'mad scientist' archetypes, so if he seems to have undergone a wild mood adjustment between the last scenario and this one, you have your explanation.

There's always the shut in bookworm. Scared of talking to people and confrontation, but if asked knows more than a dictionary. Becomes a stutter machine if a girl talks to him.
Also there's the "great mind who hates people." When meeting new people it's a pain to just get him to shake their hand, but he's a tactical genius.
Just a few ideas, if that helps at all

Sure, thanks for the suggestions. The "great mind" thing is part of what I'd consider the "snob" archetype, unless you mean more of an Adrian Monk type (he might be more of a high Wis than high Int, but ticks and obsessions are fun for anybody). The stutter suggestion I like, because it's a way to be talkative without being actively unlikeable boorish or arrogant.
I definitely need to think beyond the smart/dumb and sociable/awkward binaries. Tromos was an aasimar for his first scenario, and played him as sort of a detached observer-type in an effort to capture how someone who was born to a human family, but ages like an elf might view the world. That fluff was ultimately too weird, hence the retrain to elf, but it also reminded me of how uninteresting quiet characters usually are, particularly in PFS where you have to rediscover the table dynamic every scenario.
Gameplay thread is live for those who haven't dotted it yet.
