Swayaah hits things with her Earthbreaker or her Magic Silver claws. Her rage lets her add a +2 bonus to either Str, Dex or Con.

Okay, has anyone played any of the following scenarios WITH THIS CHARACTER?

#3-12 Wonders in the Weave I
#3-14 Wonders in the Weave II
#3-20 Rats of Round Mountain I
#3-21 Temple of Empyreal Enlightenment
#3-22 Rats of Round Mountain II

#6-97 Siege of Serpent

If you have, please note which scenarios. Thanks!

Serpent Shogun has appropriately done Siege of Serpents, but none of the others

Tapestry's Toil was the closest I had. So none from the list

That is a typo - Tapestry's Toil IS correct.

Class/Level Bard (arcane duelist)/8, Cavalier (order of the cockatrice)/2
Faction Sovereign Court
Day Job S.E.R.P.E.N.T. (intimidate caravan): 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (5) + 23 = 28
Random information I need to know about your character

I have an aspis-bane sword that I bought off of a chronicle and it is my arcane bond. He's basically just a buff bard that can hold his own in melee except for the following:

Serpent Shogun's emergency b%&*~@@%: Serpent Shogun can use Dazzling Display to demoralize everyone within 30 ft. as a standard action thanks to order of the cockatrice. He can then use improved dirge of doom as a move action afterwards to increase shaken to frightened. Thus, he can frighten all enemies within 30 ft. in one round without them being allowed a save. As indicated by "emergency b&$~%@#+," I won't use the combo unless it's an emergency, so it might not even come up. I've only done it once before, to save someone from getting chomped by a gargantuan t-rex that was grappling them.

Swayaah has not played any of the games in the list.

Agate has also not played any of those scenarios.

You know what... I don't see any way the game Agate is currently in is going to finish by the 26th. I will take myself off the signup sheet for this game and see if I can sign up for something else with a different character. Sorry about this.

Hi, I’ve signed up today on the sheet, but as the games only starts in two weeks now, I think that should be fine.

Naalij has not done any of the listed scenario.

Sounds good! Keep in mind this is Tier 10-11. Plan accordingly.

Name: Abraham Z. // Undiana "Undy" Jones
PFS #: 100198-9
Class/Level: Wizard 9
Faction: Grand Lodge
Day Job: Craft (Sushi): 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (8) + 23 = 31

I haven't played any of the mentioned scenarios with this PC.

Random information I need to know about your character:
GM, fyi, Undy & Riddy engage in some shenanigans built around a particular teamwork feat, Elemental Commixture. It's a bit complex so I've written up a summary that you can find here. Let me know if you have any questions.

I hadn’t updated Naalij level in a while, he’s not level 8 anymore, but level 10.

Name: Vincent
PFS # 93504-6
Class/Level Sorcerer/10
Faction: Liberty’s Edge
Day Job: Naalij is a weaponsmith, and uses Crafter’s Fortune when doing his trade, and has a shop in absalom. Dayjob: 1d20 + 12 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 12 + 5 + 1 = 22
Random information Naalij has the Firesight feat, allowing him to view threw fire and smoke without penalty (he has Pyrotechnics and Wall of Fire on his spell list). I just realized Ash Cloud is not smoke and the feat wouldn’t help. Naalij casts Mage Armor and Cushining Bands when he wakes up, and 10 hours after that.

Rufeo as not played any of the above scenarios.

Welcome! Please check in to the Google Slide and input the relevant information! It will be very helpful!

Okay, has anyone played any of the following scenarios WITH THIS CHARACTER?

#3-12 Wonders in the Weave I
#3-14 Wonders in the Weave II
#3-20 Rats of Round Mountain I
#3-21 Temple of Empyreal Enlightenment

If you have, please note which scenarios. Thanks!

Undy hasn't played any of these.

Btw, GM, since I know that the Aspis sometimes like to hang out in the tapestry, I have a boon that will apply if we have to deal with Aspis or their hirelings:

I think these are all the boons that we picked up during the muster:

* Once during the adventure, when the group encounters one or more undead opponents, the group can activate this reward to grant the PCs a +4 bonus on their initiative checks for that encounter. GM, for ease of PbP do you want to just apply this the first time that we encounter some undead?

* Once during the adventure, one PC can gain a +2 bonus to a Charisma-based skill check made when interacting with a creature in the tapestry. The PC can roll twice and
take the better result (in addition to gaining the +2 bonus). Do we have a party face? Good one for them.

* Once during the adventure, [u]each PC[/u] can choose to re-roll a failed skill check made as part of their movement (such as Acrobatics, Climb, or Fly).

* Once during the adventure, one PC can reroll a d20 roll and use the new result.

* Each time the PCs attempt a Knowledge check to identify a creature in the tapestry, one PC can choose to gain a +2 bonus on the check. Who is our best Knowledge PC? Undy has +15 or +17 in the main ones, and +11 or +12 in the others. It would be good to just decide now who will apply this to their checks.

* Once during this adventure before attempting a Will save, one PC can roll twice and choose the better result.

* Each PC gets a potion of cure serious wounds and an additional potion of the PC’s choice that does not have an expensive material component. In Subtier 10–11, this is a 1st-, 2nd-, or 3rd-level potion. Undy will take a potion of Heroism (50 minutes duration).

Serpent Shogun is good at social skills, particularly against reptillian humanoids, but is meh on knowledges. His archetype trades away bardic knowledge.

Roland will also take a heroism potion in addition to the CSW potion.

Swayaah will take a potion of lesser restoration and the CSW potion.

Naalij is not good at knowledges. For him, it will be potion of cure serious wound and a potion of heroism.

Sarzuket Thicketbotter the gnome cleric of Gozreh, expends one use of Channel Energy to boost the token.

***Aid Token #4***

Passing To: GM Our Mysterious Benefactor

Current Boosts: Burst of Healing

Do we still have an aid token? Healing now would be great.

You haven't sent it on, if you want to use it! The sorcerer is a glass cannon but he does have some nasty spells!

Does it require an action to use the aid token? And what's the healing (I recall we boosted it with Lesser Res if that matters)?

It is not an action, and it heals all PCs for 5d6, and if it is boosted it adds 2d6.

Nope, no action, just someone uses it and sends it on!

GM, you forgot to add the +2 from good hope to our initiatives. I believe that impacts the order

GM, you forgot to add the +2 from good hope to our initiatives. I believe that impacts the order

You are correct! Let me recalculate and modify the order.

Reminder to everyone that we still have the following boons, picked up at the start of the scenario:

* Once during the adventure, when the group encounters one or more undead opponents, the group can activate this reward to grant the PCs a +4 bonus on their initiative checks for that encounter.

* Once during the adventure, one PC can gain a +2 bonus to a Charisma-based skill check made when interacting with a creature in the tapestry. The PC can roll twice and take the better result (in addition to gaining the +2 bonus).

* Once during the adventure, each PC can choose to re-roll a failed skill check made as part of their movement (such as Acrobatics, Climb, or Fly).

* Once during the adventure, one PC can reroll a d20 roll and use the new result.

* Each time the PCs attempt a Knowledge check to identify a creature in the tapestry, one PC can choose to gain a +2 bonus on the check. (Undy has been using this for his knowledge rolls)

* Once during this adventure before attempting a Will save, one PC can roll twice and choose the better result.

* grateful for the PCs’ aid, provides each PC with a potion of cure serious wounds. The repair team also provides each PC with an additional potion of the PC’s choice that does not have an expensive material component. In Subtier 10–11, this is a 1st-, 2nd-, or 3rd-level potion.

I'm not sure if I can do anything during this encounter. The bird is too high to melee and my arrows don't do anything? (I can't tell if I missed with a 19, or it has DR 15 that magic weapons cannot overcome).

If anyone has a suggestion for me, I'm all ears.

I will know soon enough if cold iron helps where normal steel, magic and good-aligned was not working. If it is 15/- then we may be in trouble.

@Swayaah Always carry a way to fly at high levels!

Luckily, you are much more of a melee combatant than Serpent Shogun, so he's happy to lend you his jetpack :D

This PC is my highest level PC, and she's spent most of her time in the Emerald Spire (where ceilings are low.)

My 2nd highest PC is a witch with Overland Flight and the Flight Hex, so I'm pretty spoiled :)

Potions of Fly are definitely vital at high levels.

And he has DR 15/? something you haven't identified yet.

Passing a damaged Ruby Feather from a failed attempt to repair to this table to be empowered and given a second chance to repair.

Passing a damaged Ruby Feather from a failed attempt to repair to this table to be empowered and given a second chance to repair.

Since Undy has just "used" our feather to attempt to repair the tapestry, my suggestion is that Naalij empower this new one, so that we can pass it on to another table and give them a chance to use it again.

Agreed. That would help them if they do not have the means.

I missed that we could only do one of those, so repair with the one we got from defeating the first phoenix, and, on the damaged one, Naalij puts uses one use of an ability that does fire damage, so he uses one of 11 uses per day of Elemental Ray.
