3.14rat!!! Hahaha!!!!
Be glad Bessie going to continue to sail upon the seas with her beloved Peril Crew - in her stead a bard (in design) shall join you! Lest you prefer another companion…
And thank you - I am looking forward to joining your story!!

Lots of spells and skills - a bard could do buffs for you -
but if the group feels you would benefit from another class - just say so! Otherwise I am finishing up a human (Varisian) bard.
A bard would be great. They have some pretty lethal spells at low level too, but you gotta love heroism, confusion, good hope, and some of those sound spells.
Do you plan on concentrating on spells, or do you plan to go the archer route?
Performance and spells - classic bard... buffs and healing assist.
Considering how may melee oriented characters we have at the moment, that makes sense.
Spells known for the bard - current choices, keeping cures but open to suggestions, requests...
Level 1(4)
Comprehend Languages
Cure Light Wounds
Songbird
Chord of Shards
Level 2(3)
Heroism
Cure Moderate Wounds
Soundburst
Sounds (pun intended) good!
I recommend Saving Finale. That one has come in very handy for my bards.
As a traveling minstrel you have access to most Varisian troops. You were traveling with one just north of Magnimar three weeks ago when a young nobleman rode into your camp. He was pleasant and polite. He took quite a liking to your music and asked you to dine with him that evening. The nobleman, Aldern Foxglove, hired two of the best cooks in the camp to prepare a rather daunting meal. During conversation that evening, your desire to play at the Sandpoint Theater came up. Foxglove claims to know Cyrdak Drokkus and offers his assistance should you have further issues contacting the theater manager.
It so happens you have not heard back from Drokkus and are on your way to Sandpoint to meet with him in person. According to Foxglove, his family's manor house is on the way. He gave you basic directions before you parted company with him then. Now, hoping to get a personal introduction to Drokkus you head out for Foxglove manor.
@ Camil I didn’t read too far back, so I wouldn’t metagame… can you give me the quick explo here?
Long story short, we were asked to consult on some murdered folks in town, marked with an odd symbol. There was a creepy note directed at Isabella, we concluded that a ghoul was involved. Sheriff deputized us to investigate, we did some follow up at the asylum, and then discovered that there was a major ghoul infestation at a farmhouse, where the ghouls were dressed as scarecrows. They were infecting people and making more ghouls. We found another creepy note, and put together that the Lord Foxglove was sort of obsessing over Isabella. And now we’re going to check it out further.
Got it... Kizzy will renew her interest in assisting you in sorting it out and move on t going to the manor
Can't select Kizzy's token. Just move her along with the group...
Should have full control now.
Thank you!
Runt, for one, is on foot. A pity she can't ride the velociraptor she summoned. Wish there was a spell for that.
Kizzy is on foot, too!
Sorry Runt and others - bard's are the anti-sneaky...
Just let Kizzy know when you need the sound of silence verse the thunder...
I was expecting something to jump out of the shadows by now tbh...
Depends on the build. Lots of bards go for dex instead of str or int (particularly the ones that like to shoot things) and like to wear that mithril stuff. And it is a class skill. Probably better than most, including scrawny inquisitors.
Hahaha... Kizzy is traditional "singer"; so 0 stealth skill points. Now, slieght of hand - that I can do...
Uh, sorry... I was waiting for others to open the doors, not the type to charge into the room with a wizard... so I'm confused.
Me too. Was wondering how and why Zherxikas was the subject of the haunting unless it targeted someone in the hall or downstairs.
He was in the hall and when the door was opened it affected certain individuals. In this case it was Zherxikas.
Lucky him! Did you say he was over it or is he still cowering there?
Ok, well I was confused because you said upstairs, but we were already upstairs.
Sorry for any confusion, Zherxikas' vision goes quickly. He is able to take normal actions again.

Been really sick again. :( Boo!
Feel better!
Sorry to hear it. I hope you are feeling better now.
I still have a really bad upset stomach and can't really eat much. This of course impacts my energy. Also I spend way too much time in the bathroom. :(
We are the tinyleg tribe =(
Sorry for the delay, had to map the woman's route and prep everything for your mad dash through it.
Er, where did we all go on the map?
Everyone is in the basement. If you go east of the house you will see the North seeking arrow. Go directly south from there and you will find the basement map.
@Isabella - the map has updated since I last looked and really counted - but you can move through friendly spaces normally (or is there a house rule in lay here?); so you can move west now, although North is kinda filled - I don't do "in the front" but so that I can stay out of your way, where are you trying to go? I will follow after.
My understanding is that when you move through an ally's space, it's treated as squeezing (even if it's not one of those tight passages, just trying to go through the same square as someone else is automatically tight). That means each time I go through an ally's square it costs me 2 spaces of movement.
You can move normally through another's space unless stated otherwise. So in this case, only the first 10' of the northern tunnel require squeezing. You may not want to double move and get out in front of Forest, lot of baddies over there, but the option of moving through your own is available.
Thank you Isabella and Iron - not wanting to be in front/take up those spaces was part of why Kizzy didn't advance - I hope she wasn't in your way - Kizzy will hang back though and let Isabella get in the fight as I am positive undead slaying is much more Isabella's thing!
Ain't the bard 5th level, so thats a +2 for inspire courage on to hit and damage?
https://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/Core-classes/Bard/#TOC-Inspire-Courage-Su-
An affected ally receives a +1 morale bonus on saving throws against charm and fear effects and a +1 competence bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls.

It's curious. I can't find any official faq covering magic missile. The faq specifies that IC does not work on fireball, it says nothing about magic missile. It does say rays count as weapons for other effects but again does not cover magic missile. However, I agree with Runt, since there is no To hit roll, let's not do IC for anything without a hit roll, area or individual.
I ran across a neat thing in the official faq. If someone is using mirror image, you do not have to blast all of the images, magic missile will unerringly strike the real creature. I would assume for the purposes of any allies in the area it would appear that all images were struck.
If there is no attack roll, there is nothing for the to +2 to be added to; damage is specific to weapon attacks and would only be applicable to spells that act as weapons (apparently rays…) so the ruling makes sense.
And I am so proud of Moe!

At no point does the IC rules actually say that.
In fact, I guess its actually worse. It specifically says "weapon". So I don't think that count towards any magic attacks or even SU attacks.
The faq specifies that IC does not work on fireball, it says nothing about magic missile. It does say rays count as weapons for other effects but again does not cover magic missile.
Can you point to this FAQ post?
I'd still probably run it RAW in my 1e home game, but now I'm curious.
