GM Zephyre's PFS 4-23 Rivalry's End 3-7 (Inactive)

Game Master Zephyre14

Brave Pathfinders, Grandmaster Torch and Guaril Karela are looking for agents to aid them in hunting out Dorianna Ouidda in the Varisian city of Riddleport. Are you up for the task?

This is my first time GM'ing in almost a year, but I hope to do an honorable job.

I request that whoever signs up tries to post daily, with the weekends as optional. This will also be my own minimum requirement, though I will try to be more available than that.

I will be using Google slides for maps.

For recruitment I am open to anyone level appropriate for the scenario, please indicate your level of interest in playing out-of-subtier if the others interested would make the APL fall that way. (Ie if you are a level 3 and really don't want to risk playing up, or a level 7 who doesn't think they will enjoy playing down, please say so and I will consider that instead of necessarily picking the first 6 sign-ups).

I would like to start Monday May the 18th, but if I don't have enough sign-ups or everyone is ready quicker, I can be flexible.

Please sign up with:
Character name:
Class/es & level/s:
What does your character do: (ie I am a cleric, but I don't heal, I do bad touch)
Anything I should be aware of: (ie Trap Spotter)

Also please have your character profile filled in, an example would be Socraties Though you do not need to follow that format.

Any questions please ask. Let's go mess with the Ouidda!

I'm in of course.

"Remmy"
Occultist (Psychodermist) 5 Unchained Rogue 1
What do you do: Glass cannon/skill monkey/cannon fodder summoner
Anything you should be aware of: You already know :P

Character name: Malaz Bourreau
Class/es & level/s: Occultist 6
What does your character do: I power up my axe and then apply destructive effort to end many, many things.
Anything I should be aware of: My weapon is actually from a scenario. Normally, the weapon is banned from PFS play. I can show you the chronicle if needed. Oh yeah, Malaz is made of gold (Aphorite race boon).

Willing to play up, down or in between.

Character Name: Cuethric
Ranger 5 (Archer)
Cuethric shoots a comoosite longbow, has an eagle companion who fetches his arrows.
Cuethric is pretty vanilla in his build, nothing unusual.

I will be out of tier either way. Though if it goes low tier i have a few 4th level and 3rd level options as well i could use to better fit the party. 4th level elf wizard, a halfling monk 3, or a halfling rogue 3.

I have a few options that can fill in role gaps as necessary:

Sorc 7. Cold elemental blaster
Warpriest 6. Cayden Cailean dirty trick divine two weapon build
Oracle 4/ Pal 2. Animal companion ranged support
Occultist 3/ Spellslinger 1 floating disc gunning surfer
Bloodrager 4. smasher

looking forward to it playing with y'all.

Character name: Sinaryn
Class/es & level/s: Magus (Myrmidarch 2)/Wizard (Spellslinger 1)
What does your character do: Ranged (Guns)/Blaster (Spells)
Anything I should be aware of: My Wizard archetype is from a special boon.

Sinaryn is an aspiring captain and has a grudge against the Apsis Consortium so enjoys taking missions that involve them.

Since she can stay back and target touch AC she isn't too afraid of taking on a harder mission by playing up.

"Zranashta wants to play Rivalry's End."

Character: Zranashta (she is a Varisian in the Dark Archive, so I suspect this scenario will be good for her.)
Classes/Levels: Female human arcanist (occultist archetype) 4, wizard (familiar adept archetype; divination [foresight]) 1
What does she do?: "I have many veery nice summon friends. Veery nice." She is somewhat of a generalist arcane caster, but she has the ability to turn her spells into arcane points, that she can then use to cast summoning spells.
Anything the GM should know: When she uses arcane points for summoning, it only takes her a standard action to cast the spell (it's actually a Supernatural ability, not a spell or spell-like), which is a LOT faster than normal summoning.

She has an expanded list of creatures that she can summon, thanks to investment in a couple of feats, and she can draw Harrow cards when she summons creatures to give them a bonus to 2 ability scores, determined by the Harrow card that she draws.

She can also cast augury 2/week, and she can draw from a Harrow deck at the start of each day to give herself a bonus to a single d20 roll sometime throughout the day. She can choose to apply that bonus after the roll, but before the result is determined.

She also has Prescience (Sp) 2/day.
And she has Forewarned (Su) which gives her a bonus to Initiative and lets her always act in the surprise round.

She has a Tiny dinosaur familiar that can deliver touch spells, and benefits from many of the same supernatural and spell-like abilities that she has.

Zranashta is level 5, so she is out of tier, regardless. I'm happy to play up or down. If we play down, I vow to not break encounters, and to let other characters shine. If we play up, I vow to be as helpful to the rest of the party as possible.

My preferred picks would either be either:

Character name: Loam Yin
Class/es & level/s: Spellslinger 1/Arcanist 2
What does your character do: Knowledge checks, shooting people with generally more annoying than hurtful spells
Anything I should be aware of: Not much beyond the usual spellslinger cheese. Is fine with being out of tier. May also have to change my PfP if I get in alongside Remmy!

Or:

Character name: Draklor Ribiera
Class/es & level/s: Bard 7
What does your character do: Buffing and Knowledge checks, mostly, decent social skills and a few combat maneuvers
Anything I should be aware of: Flagbearer is effectively Inspire Courage +1, which couples with my real +2. My Deific Obedience makes my Knowledge bonuses pretty high.

freshly leveled swashbuckler here...just have to do the math for lvl 7...also have an assortment of lvl 3 toons to bring in if needed

I just realized that Zranashta is supposed to be LVL 6. I'm updating her now. The only major difference is that she gets access to summon monster III

She is now up to date.

Alright I am going to close this with the first 6 getting spots.

That being:
Lvl 6 Remmy
Lvl 6 Malaz
Lvl 5 Cuethric
Lvl 4-7 OG3
Lvl 3 Sinaryn
Lvl 6 Zranashta

Highest Possible:
6+6+5+7+3+6=33
33/6=5.5

Lowest Possible:
6+6+5+4+3+6=30
30/6=5

If I remember my tier rules correctly being middle with 6 people means going up.

Sinaryn, I know you said you are okay with, it, but I just want to double check for my own "don't feel bad if your kill the out of tier booned character (who also likely doesn't have enough prestige at this point to come back easily)" sake. You are sure you want to play up in this?

In the mean time I am going to go ahead and work on pulling your initiatives and perceptions and getting the starting post ready.

Since there 2 people that would be in tier after me one of them can have the slot just to be cautious.

Sinaryn, that is absolutely fair. Good luck on your next adventure.

Loam Yim, that makes you next in line. Most likely you want to play Draklor Ribiera I am guessing?
