Welcome DocHoliday, nightdeath, Thralleon, CigarPete, and Ilmakis.
Hey DocHoliday! Here is small guide that helps to understand the system of posting here on Paizo.
You should read from page 6 onwards and it will explain how to create the profile etc.
Morning
Hello CigarPete!
*
I will have the handouts ready by tomorrow.
No, you can just deduct from your replays. If you want I can note that on the CS but I would usually leave that to you.
I have a very similar character. :-) Also a LG Ifrit Sarenrae follower with two of your archetypes.
Check Setare in my aliases if you are interested in alternative build designs.
Can you guys please fill out slides 4 to 6 please.
Thanks
Hi guys, I was in contact with Yogadragon and he will join us to complete the group!
Yippiee! Could you fill out slides 4 to 6 when you have the opportunity Rel. And anybody else that has not done so yet.
Thanks.
Does anyone have a chronicle sheet for Society Scenario #8–22: Wrath of the Fleshwarped Queen?
Rules for this social encounter:
The council meeting consists of four phases usually but as we are playing with 4 player adjustment you have 5 phases!
During the first three phases, each PC can attempt a discovery check to analyze an individual NPC or an influence check with an individual NPC.
After the first three phases, the council adjourns to individually mull over their votes in different areas of the main cavern or in the side rooms farther underground, during which time the PCs have two more phase to influence each member separate from the rest of the council.
During the final round, the councilmembers imply whether they are voting “yes” or “no,” giving the PCs a way to gauge which members they need to further try to win over.
PCs can all use Diplomacy to influence an NPC with the listed DC by trying to convince the councilors that the Society’s intentions are pure and that they are different than Lumketul, as well as any similar arguments.
In addition, each councilor has alternate skills with example ways those skills can be used to influence those that councilor, listed in each social stat block below.
The councilmembers are more open to communicating to those who speak their language; those who can speak Shoanti gain a +2 bonus on their influence checks.
—— MORE DETAILS —-
At the beginning of a phase, each PC selects an NPC. During each phase, a PC can either try to directly influence the NPC via an influence check or attempt to learn more about that NPC with a discovery check—a check to learn about an NPC that can help with future influence checks during the same social encounter. The kinds of checks required for an influence check or a discovery check, known as influence skills, are unique to each individual. The PCs can learn an NPC’s influence skills through successful discovery checks (see Discovery Checks below); otherwise, they must guess.

DISCOVERY CHECKS
Each PC who attempts a discovery check rolls separately, even if multiple PCs attempt to discover information about the same NPC during the same phase. This represents the PCs forming their own separate opinions and analyses.
Before attempting a discovery check, a PC chooses whether to try to learn the NPC’s strengths, the NPC’s weaknesses, or the skills that can be used to influence that NPC. Each type of discovery check has its own requisite skill and DC. When a PC chooses to attempt a discovery check, the GM should tell the player the possible types of skill checks for each kind of discovery check (though not the DCs) and let her pick which to attempt.
A PC who succeeds at a discovery check learns one of the skills that can influence the NPC (starting with the skill with the lowest DC), one of his strengths, or one of his weaknesses. For every 5 points by which the PC exceeds the DC, she learns an additional influence skill, strength, or weakness. Thus, a withdrawn but observant character can provide allies with a significant bonus (or help them avoid significant penalties) on future influence checks, making her as important to the group’s success as PCs who prefer the spotlight.
~
INFLUENCE CHECKS
Without a successful discovery check, a PC attempting an influence check must guess what an NPC’s influence skills are. A PC generally gains no benefit or hindrance when using a skill that cannot influence the NPC.
The PCs usually must succeed at more than one influence check to sway an NPC. No matter how many PCs speak to the same NPC, only one check to influence that NPC can be attempted during that phase. Additional checks serve as aid another attempts tied to the principal check.
Succeeding at an influence check by a substantial margin provides additional benefits. Succeeding at an influence check by 5 or more counts as succeeding at an influence check and a discovery check (the PC chooses whether to learn one of the skills that influences the NPC, one of the NPC’s strengths, or one of the NPC’s weaknesses after the check is rolled instead of before the check, but the check otherwise functions as a successful discovery check).
Succeeding at an influence check by 10 or more allows the PC to choose between gaining the benefit of succeeding at two influence checks or the benefits of an influence check and a discovery check (as if she had succeeded by only 5 or more).
Failing an influence check by a substantial margin typically makes it harder to influence the target in the future.
If a PC would fail by 10 or more, she can still attempt influence checks against that NPC, but she cannot use the same skill to sway that NPC’s opinion for the remainder of the scenario.
A PC doesn’t necessarily realize whether or not she has succeeded at an influence check unless she succeeds by at least 5, but a character always knows when she has achieved the maximum possible influence over an NPC.
Some NPCs might act as if they were being influenced even if they have no intention of listening to the PCs.
One thing I forgot to say! YOU CAN MAKE DISCOVERY CHECKS WITH sense motive but ALSO WITH KNOWLEDGE LOCAL!

I'm deeply sorry for my silence the past days. My wife hurt her back, my son is starting to have his first teeth and wakes up regularly twice a night and work is still crazy... So between work, doing the chores, taking care of my 7month old son, I wasn't able to connect and play.
I've tried my best but it just wasn't physically possible.
My wife is better, work still demanding and the teeth still not fully there, but trying my best to come back.
Again, I'm very sorry for my absence and sometime, even doing your best is not enough. I'm trying to catch up.
Exactly! :-D
And congratulations for securing 5 votes. Very vital for gold and pp!
Hi guys,
you received the map of the site and the description based on the reports. See handsouts.
Regarding standard operating procedures.
- I assume you do a clock-wise approach
- I assume you will detect magic
- I assume all will check for traps and look around
Is that fine? Anything else you want to do?
Does anyone speak Giant, Hallit, Thassilonian or Varisian AND have linguistics trained?
@Yogadragon: Could you please fill out slides slide 7 to 9.
@Ilmakis: Could you please fill out slides slide 9
@Wadley: Could you please fill out slides slide 7
Thanks!
I am GMing 7 games at the moment. They do not fit in my header. ;-)
You have to go up and above the campaign tab it says
