Welcome to Solstice Scar (version D). This is meant for level 5-6 CORE characters.
8-99C's description, it's the same for version D.
Please make sure your character was created following CORE creation rules, and you created the character as a Core Campaign (and NOT Standard) character. I've been unable to credit some PCs in a few of my core scenarios because they were built as Standard characters.
If you're confused on what's a CORE character,
you can read the announcement here and the CORE FAQ here.

Checking in, thanks for running this.
And just so it's clear from the start, Thran will be lvl 4 by the time this scenario starts so will be playing up. But there's only one table of Core listed (so not that much choice on where to play) for this scenario and I'd like to finish it along side Alaric and Tere as we played the previous parts together.
No problem, Thran. I read some of the threads while this table was getting mustered and was surprised there were no core tables.
Oh well, welcome to the show.

This PC did Solstice Scar A alongside some others, but as this was the only Core table this time around I hope you don't mind him joining. He's a decent enough front-liner if needed, or can shed the armor and act as a proper wizard.
He is currently in a Retrocon special but will be done with that by the time this starts.

On that... yeah... just a bit.
Ran 8-99A twice, I think. Played 3X
Ran 8-99B twice. Played at least once.
Ran 8-99C twice, played at least once.
Will have run 8-99D twice, or run and played (RPG).
Just so you know.
However, for 8-99D, I will not have played or run at 5-6... so I don't really know how that subtier goes?
No worries about replaying it, I've GMed B and C, and one of my PCs has done A and B before.
I have updated my header, so you should be able to visit the
It will be quiet until Outpost starts, but it's one less thing for me to think about, hehe.

I think with this party it is better for Kavor Doan (Ftr1/Wiz5) to be in "Wizard Mode". That means his armor off, his floating Transmuter bonus applied to Dex, and his spell selection not having to worry about ASF.
His last scenario he was in "Fighter Mode" which he prefers, but I think having the utility spells available is important. Between the barbarian and the two animal companions, melee damage should be taken care of (with Kavor Doan providing Haste).

Hello everyone.
We're about 1 week away. Please double check your characters to make sure they are up to date.
On slide 2, please arrange yourselves in marching order. There is one listing for 2-per row and another for single line. The top of the page is the front of the line.
This special uses Aid Tokens and allows us to pass benefits between tables. If we get one we shouldn't hold onto it for more than 48 hours- some other table may need the benefits more than us. Either use it, or boost it so another table can benefit.
You can see the handout on Slide 13, or you can read what's in this spoiler.
A Pathfinder agent strikes a creature at the same time as the PC, increasing the damage dealt by one attack by 2d8 points. In addition, after the attack, anyone attacking the target is considered to be flanking it until the beginning of the attacker’s next turn.
To Boost: Succeed at an attack roll against an AC equal to 20.
Boosted Effect: +1d8 points of damage.
Burst of Healing:
A Pathfinder agent heals all of the PCs of 3d6 points of damage.
To Boost: Expend one use of channel positive energy or cast one spell with the healing descriptor with a spell level greater than or equal to your 2. A PC must cast this spell, not simply activate a wand or scroll. Boosted Effect: +2d6 points of damage healed.
Timely Inspiration:
A Pathfinder agent provides the effects of a bard’s inspire courage bardic performance +2 for 3 rounds.
To Boost: Expend 3 rounds of bardic performance or similar ability.
Boosted Effect: Increase the competence bonus by 1.
Provide Knowledge (Must Be boosted):
Gain the benefits of a Knowledge skill check or Spellcraft skill check used to identify a magical item; the type and difficulty (Easy, Average or Hard) depend on the table granting the benefit.
To Boost: Succeed at a Knowledge check of your choice, the result of the check (Easy 16, Average 20 or Hard 24) should be noted on the Aid Token.
Provide Spellcasting (Must Be Boosted):
Gain the benefits of a beneficial spell cast by an ally as listed on the Aid Token.
To Boost: Cast one of the following spells and note your PC’s name and caster level on the Aid Token: lesser restoration, neutralize poison, remove curse, or remove disease. Only these spells may be granted. Expending resources that produce the effects of these spells, such as a paladin’s mercy class feature, may also grant these benefits.
Snarl!

We're not getting started for a few more days, but I did post the backstory for Solstice Scar in the Gameplay thread. Feel free to greet the rest of the party in character.
I'm going to be busy on Monday, as it's my wife's birthday. But we'll get started as soon as the Overseer gives the go ahead.
Feel free to check into the Gameplay thread, if you haven't already.
And we're off! Check out the gameplay thread.

I never noticed Greater Magic Fang lasts hours per level. That's way better than the original.
But yes, hour long buffs are fine to cast preemptively.
Why hello there, Pathfinders! I'm Dana the Doppelgänger, and I'm here to "Bot" anyone who is absent for more than 36 hours. I'll post in your name so the game doesn't grind to a halt. No one likes that!
If you know you'll be absent for a while, please leave a post indicating you'll be gone so I know to step in immediately. Also leave some instructions telling me how you want to be botted. Here's an example you can adjust and put in your profile.
Daily: Cast Heroism and Magic Circle Against Evil on myself as soon as we enter a dungeon.
Combat: Round 1, I'll begin bardsong for Inspire Courage +2 and cast Haste.
I'll try to flank and use my Longsword with Arcane Strike.
[dice=Longsword, Inspire Courage, flanking]1d20+6+2+2[/dice
[dice=Damage]1d8+3+2[/dice
(add closing square brackets ] to those attack rolls in your profile so they can be copied easily)
Thanks for helping me keep the game moving!

Just wondering..how are we handling that we've met these guys before?
I remember I needed to shout and intimidate one of them..and I think make a joke at another one with perform.
I can't clearly remember all of it, but I'm sure in character Thran would know how he (and the rest of the team) handled this last time.
Just wondering..how are we handling that we've met these guys before?
This is a good, strange question. There's no official ruling if this is repeats of one adventure, or you're doing some weird time warp and seeing the same journey repeatedly. As long as you can justify it.
You got 2 successes for convincing all 3 spirits. Sorry I typed 1 in the gameplay thread- I didn't remember the bonus for multiple spirits.
By the way, when it comes to these route splits, I go by the rule of 2. Once two party members agree on a path the entire party goes that way.
Thanks!
We have an Aid Token. Let's try to pass it to another table within 48 hours. I put the instructions in the campaign info, on top of the thread.
Thank you for using the Aid Token. I'll pass this along to another table.
Thank you!
Looks like we have another token. Let's use this one first before using the free encounter bonus.
