The link to the chronicles is the "End of Part 1" at the end of my post.

Anariels profile should now be up to date. She has prepared her various buff spells in her spell slots. She will provide the entire group with extended mass fly, it lasts for 7 hours and has a CL of 21 as I used an arcane pool point to boost it. My available spell slots account for the spells cast.
Anariels standard shapechange form is currently Troll and she does remain invisible outside of any social encounters. She has spent a second arcane pool point today increasing the caster level on shapechange.
I may end up dropping some heroisms on people once we get into part 2 proper depending on the situation. I only have 1 charge left on my lesser extend rod so if you want it extended i recommend providing your own. My greater rod has been one charge left having been used on shapechange and mass fly.
As a reminder fly gives you a move speed of 60, 40 if in medium or heavier armour.

The relevant FAQ actually talks about manuals/tomes found during adventures, nothing about wish. Of course, increasing your stats like that is, I believe, more expensive than the manual/tome, though I haven't really done the number crunch.
EDIT: I mean the cost of wish as a spellcasting service in addition to the 25k of diamond per casting.

It does but the default position on spells in PFS is that only a small number of them persistent between scenarios. Wish is not on that list.
Let me amend what I said previously: you all have 48 hours from this post to get things finalized for your characters. I had a momentary lapse in memory and forgot that Christmas was tomorrow and I was going to be taking the day off from PbPs.
Merry Christmas, folks! Because of the holiday, I’m going to be staying off of my PbPs in favor of being with my family, and I expect the same from you all. Go and be with your family, open presents, and however it is you spend the yuletide; we’ll be here when you get back.
@Anariel: I’ve sent them a PM; I’m pretty sure it got lost in the yuletide aether. I’m not going to be persistent to them about it until tomorrow.

Continuity Check:
I have played the following scenarios:
0-01: Silent Tide (as GM)
1-54: Delirium’s Tangle (as Fletch)
2-22: Eyes of the Ten Part IV: Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained (as Fletch)
3-18: The God’s Market Gamble (as GM)
4-23: Rivalry’s End (-not- as Fletch)
5-08: The Confirmation (-not- as Fletch)
5-12: Destiny of the Sands Part I: A Bitter Bargain (-not- as Fletch)
5-15: Destiny of the Sands Part II: Race to Seeker’s Folly (-not- as Fletch)
5-16: Destiny of the Sands Part III: Sanctum of the Sages (-not- as Fletch)
6-10: The Wounded Wisp (-not- as Fletch)
9-00: Assault on Absalom (-not- as Fletch)
9-04: The Unseen Inclusion (-not- as Fletch)
9-07: Salvation of the Sages (-not- as Fletch)
(in short, Fletch played 1-54 and 2-22). He definitely existed in 2013 (since Season 0, in fact - he was my first character, despite the numbering). I assume you don't care about the boons if Fletch himself didn't earn them. I'll PM you about Fletch's boons.
"Ignore" probably isn't the right word, but they are actively avoiding the undead as much as possible.
Alright, I’ve noticed that this table’s posting frequency has slowed down to a grind and that concerns me. I understand that Fletch has a family situation, Xanaphia has her own circumstances, and Thereus is soft-spoken, but I am nevertheless concerned.
I understand that the two of you have been posting consistently, and I appreciate that, but I’m just voicing a concern on my mind (which may or may not be valid; I may just be overreacting considering only 2 of the 5 PCs are posting on a consistent basis, creating the illusion of a slower posting frequency).

Thereus is but a combat build and the beginning of this scenario has been more of a crowd control/influence problem (it seems like combat to subdue the Torch groups is a possibility, but maybe unwise). I could aid with a diplomacy check, but I'm afraid I can't really do much more. I have no problem with the casters doing the heavy lifting to secure the lodge.
CRAP CRAP CRAP! I did the Hard Mode wrong! There should be another of these centipedes. I'll rectify this in a bit.
Anariel flies forward and down, to ground level, bringing both enemies into range of her blindsight. Peering through the fog she can also see one of them!

Immunity to cold is really the only notable thing.
I don't know of it affects anything but I rolled my own SR penetration and got a 44. I would also cast some buffs before we go up given what we see. Mostly it's likely to be renewing shield and mirror image along with communal electricity resist on everyone and renewing mind blank.
Apparently I’m as blind as a bat, then. Final damage totals for the PCs would have been the ones from this post for that combat (sans the -193 on Anariel that didn’t actually happen).
Also, Anariel, I addressed this.
I'd be willing to make an exception if all of those were quickened, though.

I missed that. I assume I could reup mind blank while we wait around for Zurnzals timer to expire and reactivate my ring of invisibility. Are eny enemies visible to us? I would reume Sun Giant form to get up there, is annything visible to 40' blindsight or see invisibility?

The party perceives no enemies.
If we don't see anything delay.
Okay, maybe I need to be clearer.
True, you guys do not perceive any bad guys directly accosting you, but that doesn’t mean that there is nothing. Violent windstorm centered on Skyreach. Weird floating red disc above one of the rooftops. And so on.
There isn’t nothing here, there just aren’t any sapient creatures trying to battle you to the death.
Okay, adjustment to what I said previously: from the time the party comes up from the Repository and see the storm over Skyreach, I’ll allow three rounds’ worth of moderately-lengthened buffs before you guys start dawdling too long—but these buffs also have to include any method of getting all PCs to fly (or similar) if they did not have such a method on them already.
And I’ll also say that Xanaphia’s true seeing ran out while the party was down in the Repository.
EDIT: And I will remind Anariel that activating your ring is a standard action.
GM can you clarify how your NPCs are determining specific spells to dispel?
"You must name the specific spell effect to be targeted in this way."
The long and short of it is that he just assumed.
He knows PC tactics and knows you guys well. He just saw Thereus take 14 negative levels to the face, he knows that Xanaphia and Fletch are backliners, and he knows that there was a scroll of deathward in the statue of Durvin Gest, so the only ones who that feasibly could've gone on was either Grognar and Thereus, and considering Thereus just took negative levels then, well, process of elimination. Plus he knows the daemons have energy drain on their natural attacks, so he was ensuring that the person most likely to be in melee with them wouldn't be immune.
A bit of a stretch, I'm aware, but I tend to rule some things less in the PCs' favor when they opt for Hard Mode.
I’m currently in the process of responding to Xanaphia’s post to help Grognar do his, because figuring out her turn (since she left a lot of the nitty-gritty details to me because she knows I’m better at it that she is).

Much appreciated. Full disclosure for y'all: GM and I are IRL friends and have been playing together in-person 2x/week for years.

Yeah, well, I’m making you sit through my math, because this turn required Mathfinder Extreme!™
I’m not sure if this is just a difficult time of year or something, but our posting frequency has gone down significantly, in no small part because one of the PCs (Thereus) has been unable to do anything these past two turns.
I know that things look dire, but I know that Xanaphia and Grognar have a miracle that neither of them have touched and, honestly, now would not be a bad time to pull out all of the stops. I honestly believe that you guys can do this.
