The module is written for 4 but I don't mind adding another player if you all wish. If so, I'll make a recruitment post.
We are losing a player because Pirate Rob (Otto Boulderspine) has played the other levels (at least up to level 10) and was just jumping in for this one because he had missed it when he played through previously. So, without an addition the party will be: Alchemist, Paladin/Oracle, Paladin, Ranged Bard.
When I played it we had parties of 6 and we steamrolled a lot of it (but we also had some strong optimizers among us). I do think that it will get more challenging as you go deeper.
I very much appreciate the opportunity to fill in my gaps. I'm closing in in all scenarios/modules played for PFS1.
Impressive!
Ok, chronicles are just about done. I only need:
Romulus: PFS #, faction, day job, normal/slow track. I've noted that you want Hex E.
4 is OK if that iw what you prefer. I just have a soft spot for the number 5 in PBP. To me it seems to work the best. 4 is a bit scary as it doesn't take as much bad luck for a party of 4 to get TPKed.
I'll post in the recruitment thread and see if anyone wants to join us. May be a bit thin now due to Gameday.
Edit: just done so.
I'll put you down for normal track. Either way you are going to be slightly off the expected xp track for this level (which would have been: slow track full rewards: 1.5 xp); instead you'll get normal track partial rewards: 1.0 xp, but it shouldn't matter much over the long haul.
Responses to my post in the Recruitment thread so far:
* a halfling cavalier (beast rider) 4 and his faithful wolf-steed Lady ||| OR ||| fighter (lore warden) 1/investigator (empiricist) 2
* another Alchemist, but they use the Metamorph archetype, which replaces... basically everything with shapeshifting
Any preferences? I'm ok with adding both players if you are all amenable.
Anyone else with an opinion?
Chronicles are available here. This is the first time I'm sharing chronicles using this method so please let me know if you have any difficulties (or, of course, if there's anything mistaken with your chronicle).
Invite for one additional PC sent.
Yep, I'll post a wrap up from the previous level and get us started on the next one hopefully soon.
For those who may be curious, this was essentially a puzzle level.
Remove the 8 doors found throughout the level from their hinges and insert them into the big slots on the Godbox. They are made of a special alloy that doesn't trigger its magnetism. How you are supposed to know this is not at all clear (and when I played it we never came close to figuring it out). Worse, if you do turn off the Godbox, you release its magnetic hold (giving you a bunch of treasure that is currently stuck to it), but you also send the poor troglodytes into a rage, the only solution to which is to murder them. Needless to say, this is probably as controversial (to put it mildly) an adventure as I've ever seen from paizo. The good news is that the rest of the Spire is much more of what you'd traditionally expect from a dungeon crawl.
Godhome has now been reported.
Everyone, please update your information on slides 2 and 3. Shabah, please add a token for yourself on slide 2 and on the map on slide 1, and be sure to add the info for your saves/init/perception on slide 2. Also, if you have a familiar or companion, please add tokens and the same info for them as well.
Although this level is one that is normally recommended for slow tracking, instead I recommend that you do normal track. Assuming no further xp losses as you go along, this should have you on track to remain in tier for the remainder of the Spire. The only exception to this would be if the 1 xp you received for Godhome would cause you to go up a level. You can see the acceptable level tiers for each level on slide 4. Let me know if any of this is unclear. Basically, if you are now at 3.1, 4.1, or 5.1, if you do normal track for this level you should be 4.1, 5.1, or 6.1 at the end of it, which will set you up for the next level, which is tier 4-6.
Romulus, when you get a chance please fill in your details on slide 3. It makes filling out the chronicle sheets at the end much easier for me.

Moving the power attack discussion tot he discussion thread...
I've always seen it played where the player may choose which attack to turn it on for, but the attacks following that particular attack are all under the power attack. So the player COULD choose to make that first attack normal, but the second one and all attacks following it be power attacks. That being said, It's a statement of experience, not an argument.
Sorry for the posting delay, everyone. I went to visit my family and found I had less free time than I thought I would. Should be returning to a more normal posting schedule now.

Hey guys.
I don't want to drop off the face of the earth without letting you guys know that, yes I'm okay but no, I really don't have the time to regularly check up on the forums because my life has gotten to busy for me to have the reliable bandwith. I'm sorry to disappoint, I thought I would be able to handle it, but I just can't. I'm sorry.
Completely understand - real life happens - but please clarify what you want to do - drop from the game entirely?
Understand completely! Please prioritize your health and don't worry about the gameplay - we'll be here when your health allows it. Hope you feel better soon!
Anyone want to take charge of botting Dasus for now?
Sorry for the long delay, everyone. The holiday week got the better of me. Should be returning to a more normal schedule now.
Fyi, that was three different encounters of this level. Those of you who played Splinterden (level 3) may be getting the impression that I like chaining encounters together but I promise I had no intention of turning this into another epic months-long encounter - it just turned into that on its own!
I'll be GM-ing the conclusion of Eyes of the Ten all day tomorrow - likely won't be able to post again until Sunday or Monday.
Hey I'm just glad to hear that you are ok (or ok-ish, I guess I should say). Hang in there and know that I'm sending good thoughts in your direction! And we'll continue to bot you as needed.
Does anyone want to bot Dasus?
Also, perhaps I shouldn't say this, but this fight worries me for y'all. Don't hold back. And you may want to review chronicle boons etc. for any extra help.
