This game will begin on 10/5/13.
This will be a fun scenario; a classic PFS dungeon crawl!
1. Please make sure your PFS # is somewhere in your profile. If you'd prefer not to display it publicly you can PM it to me.
2. Please put the following information in the class/level section of your profile: Class Level (archetype) - HP - AC: /T: /FF: - Perception - F: / R: /W: - CMB - CMD - Speed - Init.
3. Faction Missions are no longer given out and a secondary success condition must be met in order to earn that second prestige point.
4. My expectation is that everyone will post at least once every 24 hours during the weekdays. I plan to update the game each morning between 6am and 8am US Eastern Time. If you haven't posted by then I reserve the right to act on behalf of your character.
5. I will be using Google Drive (formerly Google Docs) for all maps. Everyone will have the appropriate permissions to move their own tokens; but if you're posting from a tablet or a phone and are unable to do so just describe as best as you can where you want to move and either I or one of the other players will move your token for you.
6. My assumption is that everyone "Takes 10" on passive rolls like Perception when exploring areas and searching for loot.
7. When combat begins I will roll initiative for the group and post an initiative order.
I think that's about it...time to put the finishing touches on your characters. I'll open up the Gameplay tab later tonight so you can dot the thread and roleplay a bit; but my expectation is that we won't kick down the first door until Monday morning.
Have fun!

Archibald is going to spend 2 PP at the beginning of this scenario for a Darkwood Masterwork Quarterstaff.
I suggest greenwood instead. It costs a little more -- a total of 504 gp for a greenwood quarterstaff -- but that's still within what you can get for 2 PP. If you don't have Ultimate Equipment yet, the PDF is only $10, and this is what your wood-mystery oracle could get:
When damp and in contact with fertile soil, living greenwood heals damage to itself at a rate of 1 hit point per hour, even repairing breaks and regrowing missing pieces. If the weapon has the broken condition, it is repaired during the first hour of contact with fertile soil. Greenwood items take only one-quarter damage from fire.
Greenwood can be altered or enhanced with wood-shaping magic such as ironwood, shape wood, and warp wood. The duration of any such effect on a greenwood item is doubled.
To determine the price of a greenwood item, use the original weight but add 50 gp per pound to the price of a masterwork version of that item. Items made from darkwood cannot be made into greenwood.
Greenwood has the same hit points and hardness as wood.
I'll just pop over to your profile page for Spike's info when I need it.

Incidentally, by the strangest of coincidences, Dasiji already knows Kassandra quite well; they were in two scenarios together, under GM Brute Squad. And Krash4031 and I just finished playing the entire First Steps series together (albeit with different characters) under GM Alice. And RashidAli, Krash4031 and I are all in both of your PFS PbP Gameday scenarios. Small world, eh? :)
Yep...even blown up maps as you enter each area.

Btw, I'd like to apply the Pathfinder Online Kickstarter Backer chronicle to this character. I'd like to acquire a permanent mutation, which is... drumroll...
Random Mutation: -- Reflective Retinas!
If more than one person uses it at a time, then you can choose instead of rolling randomly. It wouldn't make a difference for me, since that was actually the one that I would choose anyway; but it could make a difference for someone else, if you have one that you would like to use.

I got the chronicle by supporting the Pathfinder Online Kickstarter. However, this isn't a generic PDF like a holiday boon. It's in your Paizo downloads.
I already tried to get this done once before, under GM Brute Squad, before the module was aborted. Declaring it myself means nothing. Last time, I thought it was done when another player said that they'd use one too; but since this is player-specific, it isn't really done until the GM signs and sends back the watermarked PDF that you send to them.
Which reminds me, I need to send that.
I'll print the Kickstarter boon off and sign and scan it tonight. (I have one that I still haven't activated...) Also everyone should be on the lookout for a signed holiday boon from me this evening as well.

We're almost done with round 1. Because of initiative, Kassandra got to do her round 1 action right after her surprise round. In the surprise round, Dasiji did a 5' step, a free action, and a standard action, and then GM Beman moved to a pseudo-block initiative.
The surprise round was over and Kassandra had also done her round 1. Then DM Beman had all of the NPCs do their round 1, and declared that the other PCs (the ones whose names were not italicized) could do their round 1 actions. That's when Dasiji did a move action and a standard action.
As of right now, we still need for Thanar to declare an action to finish out round 1. I would prefer for DM Beman to fully move to a proper block initiative format, since I think that it's actually clearer for PbPs; but it isn't officially supported yet in PFS, so it makes sense to not.
Yeah...since this game is part of an organized and official initiative from PFS-HQ I'd prefer to refrain from group initiative and other house rules; however when it makes sense I shift into something that is group initiative-esque while still holding true to the rules.
He may not have moved himself on the map. I'll take care of it when I get to a PC.

Use a Scroll: Normally, to cast a spell from a scroll, you must have the scroll's spell on your class spell list. Use Magic Device allows you to use a scroll as if you had a particular spell on your class spell list. The DC is equal to 20 + the caster level of the spell you are trying to cast from the scroll. In addition, casting a spell from a scroll requires a minimum score (10 + spell level) in the appropriate ability. If you don't have a sufficient score in that ability, you must emulate the ability score with a separate Use Magic Device check.
No worries Kassandra. You've been doing an excellent job boosting morale in your absence! Hope everyone is doing OK and the little one isn't running you too ragged!
My condolences Thanar. Take good care.
You've got a wooden Ido to kill before it....mwah hah hahs!
...and that's all she wrote! If you ever get a chance to replay this scenario (either for no credit or as a non-sanctioned game) I highly suggest to do so at the higher tier. Much more deadly....
Chronicle sheets are available for download on the Campaign Info tab. Thanks for allowing me to run this for you...and have a great weekend!
We have more than enough time to run another one and increase our chances for a boon...send me a PM if you want to me to run The Disappeared.
Thanks very much! Enjoyed it.
