Player Name: Kyle "Worg" H
Character Name: Kaepora
PFS Character: 220424-25
Faction: Dark Archive
Progression: Standard
Notes: Dedicated follower of Pharasma so this should be fun :D
Kaepora's Shadow has its stats in the spoiler.
It helps to listen to this music when he is talking.

So Kaepora has 10 Disable Device, Advice which functions as Bardic Performance: Inspire Courage, Insightful Strike which allows him to attack using his Wisdom mod instead of his Strength mod to hit. While he doesn't deal a ton of damage on his own, the combination of himself with his shadow is how he can add to the fight.

That is what I bring to the party :D

Aroden's main roles are Knowledge, utility spells, and and at-will aura buff. Naturally, as a wizard he can switch around his spells with a day to prepare.

He can pull out some big guns if needed (using his bonded item and his Potent Magic ability) but that isn't his usual role.

Hi, Ai is Ai. She's mostly specialized as a debuffer and face character. She's not a high damage dealer at all. She also loves puns and jokes.

How many heavy damage dealers do we have?

Perhaps we will instead solve our problems with intelligence, reason, and dialogue.
"Hall of the Flesh Eaters" sounds like the perfect place to try this approach.

yeah, because celewen plans to be mainly support. he doesn't think he can do great things, just help other do them.

I am a melee, I will at least confirm that I am a front line character, just not a high damage one. When buffed with Mage Armor my AC becomes 22.

I've got a wand of mage armor. Yay, support! And one of magic missiles to supplement the damage.

Player Name: Warah
Character Name: Pai Shecks
PFS and Character #: 289224-1
Faction: Liberty's Edge
Progression: Standard
Notes: none

Pai is a kineticist with electric blast. She prefers to be out of melee range to avoid attacks of opportunity when she uses her blasts. That's pretty much all she does in a fight. She likes to think that she can be very intimidating (her success rate is about 66% at this point).

So APL is 3.1.

So we are playing up with the 4 player adjustment.

Before we start, is playing up okay with everybody?

I can drop out if you are not comfortable playing up, and then you'd be low tier (if I was replaced by a 3 or under).
If you are all okay with playing up, I will get a few more consumables to make sure things go smoothly.

Aroden, can you play with level 1 character? I also can switch to level 1 character if needed.

I'm fine with playing up or having people switch their characters if they're willing. Either way is fine.

I will be sticking to Kaepora if that is alright. The gold value to gain is going to be the same regardless of what I do. If other people wish to swap I am ok with this.

I don't want to make a new Level 1 character, and don't have any existing ones free. I would either drop out or buy consumables to help us play up.

But hey, it's greater rewards for the lower-level characters, and I think we have enough buffing capacity to get us through.

Let's give it a go. I'm down to play up!

Ok let's play!

up up and away

We also have no trap spotter. Hmm. That could also be a problem. Let's be careful.

Aroden will pick up another scroll of Haste (he has 1 already). It's the best combat buff at this level.
He'll prep Dispel Magic and Fireball.
And he'll get scrolls of Communal Resist Energy, Magic Circle Against Evil, and Invisibility Sphere.

So that is 4 scrolls of 3rd-level spells for 1,500 gp total. Should be enough to get us through or around the combats we might have.

I'll bow to your expertise on that matter. This is the highest level character I have, and my only one available right now. Playing up is fine with me. Does anyone have any recommendations for supplies I could pick up to increase my odds of survival?

Glad we are going in well prepared. Nice work Aroden!

I agree. I don't have much gold to throw around, so I'm ready with my single purchase whenever you all are!

So, usually I'd be applying Gift of Will to the group's point man or heaviest hitter, but this group's a little confusing on who to put it on. If you want it, call for it.

Thanks for the bot. I was at my grandma's house today by surprise, and couldn't get on until now.

Hate to say this, bot have been switched to day work for the week. Between day work and the special that is going on, I may not post as much as I would like to. Everything should be back to normal by Monday.

no worries.

Eh. Life happens. Good luck with flipping your sleep schedule. And then flipping it back again. I have two relatives who work nights, and I know it's a challenge.

Take your time, its all good.

Np

Okay, back on the graveyard shift where I belong. Lets get this thing rolling again.

Haha, yeah, Aroden, there aren't many tells for Occult casting. In fact, most of Ai's contribution is going to feel like messing around instead of taking things seriously.

Occult Classes for the win!

I'm sorry if I'm messing with how you guys wanted to play this one out. Feel free to drag Ai around the corner and explain to her that this is a bad idea. I don't mind, really.

Kaepora and his shadow are ready to take these guys on. Sorry, but this character sincerely believes no undead is ever worth their word. Next two levels are planned for Inquisitor.

Also, I would rather have them attack my regular AC than my Flat-Footed, since Festrogs can be REALLY nasty.

We coming up on the end of the scenario. So please make any dayjob or downtime rolls that are needed.

profession, driver: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Profession (Artisan): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

No day job

Craft (Sculpture) of the thing from beyond reality he sees in his nightmares: 1d20 + 11 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 11 + 5 = 34

Kaepora has no dayjob.

Depending on how Ai's turn and Vul's turn go, I might break out the scroll of Invisibility Sphere next round. I try to be quick about posting but if you post before me (and we are in block initiative) you don't get the buffs.

That would let everybody get one attack against Vul's flat-footed AC, and also let Kaepora get up safely, and let Celewen keep on healing. So... wait for the spell if you could.

The other thing that is a good option against a high-AC foe like this is holy water. It's a touch attack, and even on a miss that's 2 splash damage, which adds up.

Sorry for being spotty. A new job opened at the school I work at, and I'm in the process of applying for it and getting paperwork for my teaching license together.
