Discussion

I'm interested in playing, ran the scenario and gencon though.

Response to indicate interest

And if it's not too late to respond, I'm also interested.

Also interested!

Interested!

Me too!

To edit your character image:

• Go to https://secure.paizo.com/pathfinderSociety/myAccount
  
• Click "Edit" next to the character you want to add a picture for. Do not click on the character name itself.
  
• Under "Character Image", click "Change".
  

Should be pretty straightforward from there on out.

Wait, how does Yitza have more HP than I do? I'm offended!

Here, have a cookie. Feel better? No? Have another; it always helps the halflings...

Karked: Gnomish for "knocked about the head"

Comic: Renyrd tries the investigation challenge - the Case of the Halfling's Cookies

BUT WHO ATE THE FOOTPRINTS

I wonder if the acrobatics check in the obstacle course is for jumping? That's a very big difference in numbers...

That's a great comic.

It literally didn't occur to me I could scare animals into compliance. Probably be really good at that too :)
Also curious how many we're going to do.

You should try the scary-animal task then! It's probably better for a Hellknight like you than for a panache-y-posh like me.

@Aaron: This comic is amazing. Cruel prank #1: Putting a wall of force into your obstacle course.

I can wait my turn if there's any bonuses - ten bonuses and 6 party members mean two people take 1 and I've got one so :)

@Ksarress: There appear to be more than ten bonuses altogether.

There are in fact 14.

Traps, lore, stories, strength, obstacle course, crime scene, animals right >.<

From an RP standpoint, Ksarress has little interest in staring down tigers or what have you. Trite and trivial. Luckily I think we just got two for lore so I can roll for funsies. :)

That is the correct list. There are also 8 pieces of information to go with those, which I've been releasing using in character bits, rather than just telling you. You have 5 of those so far as a party.

Man I can't wait to take more ninja levels. Skill ranks though.

Hmmm...few of my other skills look likely to hit the dc25 without a really lucky roll (Heal & Survival maybe but I've already hit the crime scene). Would it be feasible to try Sense Motive and/or Pro-Brewer, basically to start up a kind of tailgate party and take a crack at one of the Info pieces?

At least your luck is much better than mine!

Yeah, so I posted here before rolling a 19 & a 20. Go figure

Just so we know where we are before tomorrow's speech:
Crime Scene (Max): Heal, Perception, Survival
Obstacle Course (Gaevus, Yitza): Dex-based skill
Storytelling Circle (Genta, Yitza): Bluff, Diplomacy, Intimidate
Weightlifting (Ksarress): Str-based skill, attack roll, CMB roll
Lore Symposium (Yitza, Genta): Linguistics, Knowledge
Animal Taming (Yitza, Gaevus): Handle Animal, Intimidate, wild empathy, attack roll vs. animal/magical beast
Trap Mastery (): ???

TL;DR: People can still try the crime scene, the weightlifting, and the trap mastery tests.

As for pieces of information so far (that I've noted):
Max (Crime Scene): Venture-captains are back for the event; some were promoted, some were not; there's a sneaky elf on the loose
Genta + Fetch (Storytelling Circle): Sheila Heidmarch and some Pathfinders were interrupted on business by goblins
Gaevus (Obstacle Course): Aericus mentions being sent to Jalmalray to curry favor with someone, who gets himself killed; surprised at the flamboyance of the party
Genta (Storytelling Circle): Lots of new recruits, probably from efforts with Mendev
Yitza (Lore Symposium): Sky Key is surely finished by Master Zey by now; rooms without corners are good?
Genta (Lore Symposium): Pathfinders are a "weirdness magnet" (no kidding), and Lord Omrys of House Ahnkamen has asked Absalom to keep special watch over us
Gaevus (Animal Taming): Calisro has gone missing, perhaps in Arliss Hall?

Thanks! Genta could try the Crime Scene if no one else wants it, but if anyone else would rather go for it then they can.

The interpretation of the first half of the Crime Scene is right, the Genta + Fetch story telling is wrong, the second half of the obstacle course is right, the second half of the animal taming is right

I have no idea what to do about that information. Maybe someone else with more Int could go back and clarify some of the hints we've picked up as our party gets back together for tomorrow's speech?

@Genta: I think at least half of our party has tried and failed, so I think that you should go for it! Perhaps an esteemed author has the eye for a fabricated crime scene?

P.S. I think I've tried all that I can! Except for the Strength test, which I think I will spare everyone from, unless they want the humor. I think I'd need to roll a 28 on a d20 to even be in the running.

Looking back, the Genta+Fetch storytelling thing wasn't a piece of information, but was just another character of mine telling a story of a scenario he played.

Nathan, can we take 10 on these challenges?

@Nathan: Does it worry you that you have enough PFS characters to fill a whole scenario? Heh

Not all of the characters have been mine, some like Pyro who dropped in, actually belong to people I played Eyes of the Ten with. I also have fewer than half the number I know some people have.

You can take 10 on anything but the Disable Device. I think you have all the bits of info now (whether you can interpret them is unclear); it's just the few bonuses remaining.

Overseer Announcment

“Pathfinders, please get settled. All campus-wide events are closing. All venture-captains and field agents are invited to gather on the north lawn for refreshments and the keynote address in several minutes.”

Table GMs Act 2 begins November 10th when the Overseer Announcement is made, please begin to conclude whatever contests are ongoing.

Since I've failed at the crime scene, done the weightlifting, and currently have a grand total of -4 to disable device checks and I don't think knock is going to be helpful, nor would simply breaking all their traps, I think I'm done. By right of conq uh, rolling faster Yitza gets 4 bonuses ;P

Unless of course I'm allowed to do lots of jumping at the obstacle course. I can't tumble or really do much acrobatics but I can jump really really far.

You can come join my tailgate party & frown (nothing says NARC!! like Hellkinight armor). No one carouses like a High Priest of Cayden Cailean ;-)

Hah. I realized the acrobatics bonus is just that - no mention of jumping weirdly. For funsies because it tickles me I'll do that even though the bonus is taken. Then north lawn refreshments.

Is there a way to get a notification when someone posts or does one just have to constantly check? I looked at message board settings and it was just about the alias/avatar etc.

I think you can set up an RSS feed for it, but I'm not sure how to go about doing that.

The quiet sound of chewing over the message spell

I REGRET EVERYTHING

I've worked out how to set up RSS feeds so you get an email on thread update. You can use https://blogtrottr.com. For the URL of the feed you wish to subscribe to, put http://paizo.com/campaigns/SiegeOfSerpents/gameplay&xml=atom for updates to the Gameplay thread, or http://paizo.com/campaigns/SiegeOfSerpents/discussion&xml=atom for updates to the Discussion thread. (I did it twice, once for each thread.) You will have to confirm your subscription by email, but that's all there is to it.

Be advised that when you first sign up, you'll get something like 20-30 emails from each thread, because the system doesn't know what's "new" yet. But otherwise it seems pretty good.

Thanks Aaron, that will be super useful!

(Clumsy flying things eh? a lvl 10 version of my Zen archer would be so handy about now)

Tor is off shooting at things, that's not the way the rest of this works though.
