Alright, assuming the website doesn't die like Andoran again, I will have everyone's chronicle up sometime Friday. If anyone hasn't put in their 'report' yet get them in now. I'll be looking them over tomorrow.
Now I have to go catch up on messageboard madness.
Thanks for you patience.
Explore. Report. Cooperate.
Master Shaine (and the GM) expects some sort of individualized report/notes based upon your adventures in the caves. You don't have to write a novel, you don't technically have to make a report, but it is part of the adventure's victory conditions. I've seen folks type up what they say to Shaine, make little Google slides presentations, write journal entries, and simply grab Janira and put her on Shaine's desk (Note: my huge half-orc barbarian did not get credit for that one).
Basically imagine you are a sort of fantasy Darwin on an expedition somewhere and are prepping notes for an article in a scientific journal.

A Review of Anderan Cave: By Monty.
(Let me know if this is alright)
It is to be expected that when a god dies, not everything is lost. Bits of culture, trappings of the church, shrines. But, as we discovered a cave that I am calling "Anderan Cave" for lack of a better name, sometimes a bit of them survives too.
In these caves, one can find ancient pictographs showing the many forms of Anderan. While somewhere worn away by time, others still are visible showing one of his twelve facets. The ones we found included the hunter, the fisherman, the artist, and the thief. Deeper inside, the city that was raised from the depths, Absolom, can be found in stunning detail upon a pool. By acting in benefit to reflect each facet of the dead god, one can reclaim a bit of his power. Though, this should be approached with caution, as the effects are entirely unpredictable.
Be careful when venturing into these caves, however, as the minotaurs who live in this area are particularly unfriendly. One of our party was nearly killed by a mighty axe blow, and unless you find the idea of wrestling a minotaur fascinating, it's a good idea to enter the caves quickly so as to prevent them from following you and gaining the upper hand.
However, remember, You are not safe even if you should enter the cave, as colonies of mites and large blob-like protoplasms haunt the tunnels, attempting to take a bite out of unprepared travelers. The blobs are simple enough, but the Mites can be quite dangerous.
These dangers may be mitigated, however, by striking a deal with the "Gill Persons" who may live in this cave. While the one who interacted with us was displeased by our entrance, he was not interested in the dead god, only using the area as a sacred place for meditation. I propose that in exchange for allowing us to study these ruins further, the gillpeople may be convinced to exchange safety for some of our researchers in exchange for the additional firepower provided by our pathfinders to prevent incursions from unwanted monsters into their sacred place of meditation. Please, Master Shane, give this great thought. While a god might be dead, the power of a dead god is still indeed power.

ALSO NINA!
Make sure these are all good, and download them (not just share--because if they ever disappear from my account they will from yours as well; you can make a copy of the shared file as well).
Sorry for the huge slow down at the end there.
I'll probably be running either Master of the Fallen Fortress or First Steps I starting in about a month if anyone is interested.
Until then, keep the dice rolling!
Try it now.
Can you hear me now?

Does the cavern count as an "ancient site" for purposes of the Scarab Sages Faction Objective?
Given that I'm level 2, should I actually get the greater gold value?
Also, can I do the same deal with "Master of the Fallen Fortress" as I did with this (i.e. play it for credit once with a 2nd-level character)? Either way, I'd be happy to join that.
Ack! Let me get to my computer and fix those chronicles. I should have them and the final wraps on this adventure up by tomorrow afternoon.
Master of the Fallen Fortress like First Steps I is a hard Tier 1 adventure. The Confirmation on the other hand is a Tier 1-2 adventure. So technically Alexis cannot legally play it for PFS credit. So maybe something else, or maybe a second table (I have another party going through their Confirmation right now). I bought the last Humble Bundle of PFS (Year of the Demon) goodness and have one or two other things lying around... Thornkeep perhaps?
Explore an ancient site during the course of an adventure. To qualify, the original occupants must have abandoned
the site at least 1,000 years ago, and it must cover at least 2,500 square feet (a 50-ft.-by-50-ft. area).
The site does qualify for this award.

Just finished fallen fortress, not super interested in going through it again so soon.
-Posted with Wayfinder
If no one has anything further to add to gameplay I will close the tread tomorrow.
Thanks for gaming, everyone.
Noted. (Officially now that I can post again. ;) )
I'll send out a PM to those of you who are interested when we are ready to go (about a 3-4 weeks from now).
And (unless there is anything else) I'll shut down the thread Saturday.
Thanks again to everyone for playing the Confirmation and for those of you playing forward talk to you soon.
