It's looking like we're going to have a bunch of heavy hitters (though I believe the person I reserved a slot for will be bringing in an investigator so skills should be covered.)
The only thing I see that might be lacking is healing.
Oh, and feel free to dot in on the Gameplay Thread.

Hey guys...I reached out to Massee by PM to see if he's still interested. I haven't heard back from the guy I was holding a spot for.
But, once Itham is up and running, we'll have a 4 member party so I plan to get started in earnest when that happens.
Though, of course, there's no rush on the briefing. Ask all the questions and do all the RP you feel like you need.
If possible, I think it would be cool for at least some members of the group to go on to other adventures together so RPing the relationships is certainly of interest to me.

I am good with a team playing in the tapestry together. It is a cool idea to think the Society assembled a team to specialize in Hao Jin Tapestry, like a special forces/Delta team.
By the way, I bought a Wand of Mage Armor with my only 2 Prestige.

I'm here, I've just been figuring out my character. He's mostly done, I got the name at least, the hardest part!
I guess he isn't 'specialized' for the tapestry, but Ulfen like to explore/conquer new lands right?
GM please remove Massee from the character list, thanks.

GM please remove Massee from the character list, thanks.
Uuuh...happy to...just have to figure out how. #1sttimeGM

Should be on your Campaign Info Tab. Click on 'Edit this campaign', then scroll to the bottom and make certain box in front of Massee is unchecked.

Money spent. Man, arcanists are a bit rough at level one. Only 3 spells a day and no abilities to do as a back up besides acid splash.
On a similar note, after this adventure, does Fiata mind if Itham takes a peek at her spell book?

![]() |

Yeah, but there are so many important exploits and the offensive ones become obsolete so quickly. I could... exploit...(pun intended) the system and pick an offensive one for the first 3 adventures and then use the level 1 free rebuild to switch it as he levels to level 2 but that seems like a clear abuse of the system. And yeah, the magic missile want is the first thing I plan to pick up. Then next one is a mage armor wand.
As a side note, the tomb thing was meant to be tome... but I feel like I need to come up with a reason for Itham to carry around a tomb now haha woohoo for accidental character building!

EbonFist |

I think it's fixed now.
#1sttimeGM.
If you guys plan to play more of my games, you should know that I will probably make at least one of these mistakes numerous times.

EbonFist |

Let me know if you guys see any glaring mistakes I make while running the game.
Also, let me say, I think it's brilliant taking humans as your favored enemy. When is there a scenario where you're not going to fight humans? I think I've only run into undead as much.
And, it never occurred to me to armor up my psychic. Obviously, they don't get proficiency but it doesn't matter much and doesn't matter at all when casting spells since they don't use somatic components.

![]() |

Ya I've run into quite a few rangers with favored enemy humans. Thematically it made a lot of sense since this guy is a Ulfen raider and would be doing most of his fighting against humans. Undead are another good choice for down the line. I'll let the scenarios guide him in that next choice.
No obvious mistakes I can see just yet.

EbonFist |

Hey, guys. I'm heading down to Fnordcon and will probably get to meet Steve Jackson today. I'll be back on Sunday and will post if I can before then.
Not to give too much away, but I suspect that you're going to kill this last opponent this round so if you want to push the plot along, post your actions for the round and what you would do in the aftermath of the battle in your next post.

Sorry guys for disappearing. This weekend got busy quickly and couldn't find the time to post. I promise to get a post up by midday tomorrow. The bright side is that from here till May I shouldn't have any problems with posting.

Hey guy! Just as an FYI- my wife went into labor today, everyone is currently healthy (but only somewhat happy at the current state of affairs). I have paternity leave set up, but I might not get to games on occasion for obvious reasons. Please feel free to bot if I am the one holding up the game.

EbonFist |

Congratulations! Hope everything goes well.
Also...we'll see you in 3 weeks. ;-)
If this is your first, you're about to be a lot busier (and more tired) than you expect.
If it's not your first, you know how busy and tired you're about to be.

I will say this, my first kid taught me how to operate at a functional level with little to no sleep. To this day, I still scoff at those weak enough to rely on nocturnal resting instead of coffee.
Okay, not that bad, but still, you will know what I mean.
Congratulations to the three of you.

Good evening all...
Jim mentioned in the opening threads that he was holding out a place for someone - I'm the idiot who forgot to check his PM's and missed the start of this mission!
Or, am I an Aspis infiltrator?
I'm grateful for the chance to play with you guys, and looking forward to seeing what horrifying deaths we're all going to meet in The Icebound Outpost.
Oh and congrats to the new Dad, and Mum and baby too!

Go ahead and post Castinus catching up to the rest of the crew in the aftermath of the battle.

Thanks

Enjoy your time away!
On the upside, you shouldn't feel any need to read anything you missed since Dana wouldn't remember it, anyway.

Hey Waggi, what's with the "Season 9 Faction Card" on your profile? Is that a thing for this game? Is it free to acquire? I've played little PFS, mostly I stick with face to face.

![]() |

Hrm, actually I should check. Is it season 10 now? I may need to update that to the newest season.
Ya its... lemme check where its at but yes its a little add on for each faction for some extra boons and goals and such.

Everyone is happy and healthy- it was a long hard day (with some unexpected excitement) but everything is wonderful now. Thank you for the well wishes!

Ya found it. Its season 10 now so I'll need to update mine.
Go to the search bar in paizo.com and search up Faction Journal Card and its a free download. Depending on your faction you have a list of goals to complete to activate boons. It can help you form your character a bit if you really like some of the goals/boons it provides. It also gives you some nice direction for you to work towards besides: gain xp and gold.

I think I’ll be able to post after all. Just more slowly. So bot me if I’m halting the game.

Turkey :-) it’s warm.

Please bot me over the weekend as I am traveling again.

@Itham - The Scrollmaster archetype seems like a cool concept but has 2 major flaws, I can see.
1.) It's always a bad idea to build your low BAB, low AC, low HP wizard around a concept that requires her to get into close combat...or that at least makes the cool things you do involve close combat.
2.) Baddies in PFS don't drop scrolls that often when downed so you'd have to buy your own scrolls, knowing that you were going to use them up not casting spells from them. I suppose if you had a boon that let you buy scrolls cheap, it might be worth it.

Sorry for the spelling mistakes.
I am using the dictation function and did not check the spelling before submitting.

![]() |

Yeah, I can't imagine a build that would ever be decent with the scrollmaster archetype. I would be curious outside of the realm of PFS how successful you could make a gestalt one to make up for the low BAB and HP.

Ok, guys. Hopefully it isn't spoiling much to say that we're winding down. Go ahead and provide the below information and I'll get started on the chronicles and reporting. I do intend to use the Online Support Program, though this will be my first time so it may take some trial and error.
