I figure Jase would reside in the Ferrous Quarter in Smokeside with aspirations of getting to Skyside one day.
I'll say Old Ironside or wherever the majority of the smuggling is, an illicit street doctor might get threatened once in a while but he has friends in low places who don't want their source of needles to be injured.

Old Ironside it is then.
Joie, is your name pronounced like Joy, Joey, or something else?

It's French (or Taldan, as the case may be), so something in the ballpark of "Jwah" (like "moi" but with a very soft J).
Gotcha. Thanks!
I'm thinking I live in Old ironsides as well. It sounds like a dim and dismal place, just how I like my light levels. It also affords her opportunity to help with healing people on occasion, though only the most desperate would go to see Lady Bones. It also would help explain the nickname, she probably got accosted by some handsy thugs who though the coldly gorgeous nearly naked lady would make a good play thing...until she summoned her armor of bones and proved she knew how to use that scythe on them while snarling at them in Necril.
Faithe: The problem with living in Old Ironside is that it's part of Smokeside, which is the half of the city where magic doesn't work.
Oh, well scratch that then. where would you recommend.
There is a portion of Skyside's south end that's close to the Tinwound Hydroplant. The hydroplant is a blend of a water purification facility and a mechanical power plant for Alkenstar. The neighborhood it's located in is decidedly more rundown and smoggy to live in, thanks to the facility's own machinery.
I'd say that'd fit in well with your idea.
Just a question. Do I have to prepare spells outside of an Anti-Magic Zone (AMZ)? Due to the nature of my (SU) Familiar I would assume yes.
Tuco: I'll say yes.
Good to know then.
Maybe I should have kept the (Ex) Familiar.
Oh well that's part of the fun!
That area works then.
Would I be able to Commune during the carriage ride over?
I don't mind waiting an hour and catching up with you all.
Sure.
BTW, Alorea, I haven't forgotten about you--I was just waiting for the rest of the PCs to catch up. :)
The trouble of running an ambitious multithreaded start of the game.
I'm already loving the intrigue here with cover-ups and frames and possible copycats, how electrifying!
I figured as much, Dragoncat. No worries, I'm here when the others arrive!
Oh my GOD I'm so sorry this took so long! D:
Added an image link in the profile for what I'm basing Faithe's appearance off of.
I come back to 13 new posts?! Oh my!
Joie ended up like 75% more hardcore than I was prepared for so I apologize if she’s a little too harsh and/or stoic!! If it’s fine by the GM, I’ll scoot a point to Intimidate to better reflect!
Sure, I'll allow it.
Faithe, i’m glad Alkenstar has a favorable climate.
Tuco, it’s a good problem to have! :)
Joie, i’ve enjoyed your character so far. No complaints.
Just curious but does anyone know which of the Scorpion Whip rules are the most recent? I'm very very lost.

Per the FAQ currently posted here:
Scorpion Whips: How do scorpion whips work? There are several published sources of scorpion whips, and they seem inconsistent.
Change the last sentence in the Ultimate Combat scorpion whip's description to say "If you are proficient with both scorpion whips and whips, you can use a scorpion whip in either the normal way, as a typical light performance weapon, or as a whip. When you use a scorpion whip as a whip, it is otherwise equivalent to a whip, but it deals lethal damage and can harm creatures regardless of their armor bonus." This change will be reflected in future errata.
What this means is that the scorpion whip is normally a light performance weapon with no other special weapon features, but that someone with both proficiencies can also use it as a whip, in which case it acts precisely like a whip in all ways (one-handed weapon, attack out to 15 feet, provoke an attack of opportunity, can use the Whip Mastery feats, etc) except that it deals lethal damage and can harm creatures regardless of their armor bonus.
Awesome thanks.
I hate navigating their FAQ page.
I usually rely on Google! "[thing] Paizo FAQ" is what led me down the right path this time, I believe.
Now if only they'll address which feats do and do not impact Scatter firearms...
I've been holding off on posting to give some of the other players a chance to catch up. I'll see if I can get in another post tonight.
I'll admit, I'm a little lost at the moment. This game has moved MUCH faster than I'm used to, and I haven't had much posting time this week, since I don't like posting from my phone...
Yeah, I didn’t anticipate that this opening adventure would progress as fast as it has.
Jase’s post brings up a point I had made an assumption about but might not be accurate! I had assumed two wounds per case: one in the body, one in the neck, which would make this one a strange case since there were many stabs. A rereading says that I may have made an ass out of u and me. Do we know if previous cases also had numerous wounds, per the autopsy reports?
You would.
Also, Caleb is the fourth victim. In case I didn't make it clear, the three autopsy reports you received were for the second, third and fourth victims.

I completely missed this too, now I look loony!
Daerokh, I’ll leave it up to you to decide what Joie might be referring to :P
Hey question! How do y’all feel about putting a Discord group together? Some of my longer-running games thrive on that so we can communicate easier out of character.
I'm fine with that I use Discord for many games and stuff but it depends on who's on board.
I have never used Discord before...not to say that I'm completely against the idea. I do have children, though, which would limit the times I might be available.
I'd be up for a Discord group.
That’s enough for me to make one! Link is here!
So, who's with Daerokh investigating the house?
I think Faithe is the only one besides me that’s free to do so, but it’s up to her whether she is.
i can't even keep up with what is happening right now. You're all going way faster than I can easily keep up with. Mostly it seems like very little has happened I would be able to help with so I'll get something up about going to the house as well momentarily.
Sorry, I've gotten lost in the weeds a little bit as well. Has everybody left the crime scene now? Not sure where Alorea would be at the moment.
The crime scene has been abandoned for now, yes. Tuco, Jase, and Alorea are out and about, asking folks if they saw anything and gathering info on Verne, while Joie, Faithe, and Daerokh are questioning the neighbor.
More specifically, Jase and Tuco went to a bar (because of course Jase just happened to find his way to alcohol) :P
I think 'out and about' covers the bar scene, thank you very much! LOL
I will be on a cruise next week from 4/1-4/6 without Internet access. It will likely take me till the following Monday or Tuesday to get caught up and resume posting.
GM, please bot me as necessary.
GM, the dagger in the barrel—are we talking decent quality or masterwork? There’s a few hundred GP’s difference, so that’s going to affect my response.
