I'm only asking for the Discord name as an alternate method of communication in case we have extended or frequent issues with the Paizo forums as happened during a PBP con a couple years ago or recently with the whole Cookie Fiasco. If you don't Discord, that's okay, as I said it's just a backup.
There is a HUGE list of scenarios with tie ins to this one. I'll make a separate post asking if you've played or run any of them later.

Hey all, checking in too.
Have a Bloodrager 3/Shaman 2 (Bedisa) that I would like to play. She's done quite a few of the Blakros's scenarios. Planning on playing her during PaizoCon so she *should* be level 6 by the time we start.

Planning on playing her during PaizoCon so she *should* be level 6 by the time we start.
So, I had to ask how that was supposed to work. Meaning, can you play a character in a PaizoCon VTT game and in a PaizoCon PBP game during the same weekend? Officially PBPs start on Friday, so technically no. But the organizers then weaseled out and left it up to the GM to decide when the PBP games start.
Because you brought it up first, and because I've played with you before, I'll go ahead and state that this game will "officially" start after the last VTT has ended so that you can indeed play her. And anyone else is also free to play the same characters in a PaizoCon VTT and in this table.
Of course, if your character dies irrevocably in a VTT during the weekend, you'll have to change characters to continue in the PBP.
I'll post the introductory Gameplay post on Thursday the 26th, and people can get started with introductions whenever.
Sorry. I missed a step. Try it now.
If we go low tier I'll play my Monk 6, who is a melee type. If we go high tier I have three level 9 options (Oracle (support with melee pet), Sorcerer (typical arcane caster), Warpriest (melee type)).

Everyone- please go ahead and roll a single D20 here for a PaizoCon gift voucher or boon. If you roll a 1, 2 19, or 20 you win ... something.
A natural 19-or-20 are winners of Paizo gift vouchers!
A natural 1-or-2 are winners of a boon! Please roll a d10 to determine which one.
If you win, I will need your name and email address.
|

Got your PM. Congrats! I don't know what the boons are, sorry. The Con Committee will send it to you. If it's not one you want or can use, there's a boon trading thread.
|

First bit of housekeeping: Paizo just informed the PBP Gms that they need us to report the boon rolls by the end of the day (2359 PDT) on this Thursday, 3 June. I still need rolls from Elenial and Bon Jon.
I'll bot Bon Jon on Thursday night if I haven't heard from him by then, given his vacation situation.

The investigation phase basically contains a series of skill checks for each missing item. We’ll take it one item at a time in the order y'all decide; I’ll list the item and the appropriate checks in spoilers. You can Aid Another on these checks. Some of the checks are dependent on previous ones and they are noted by an comment. Working together as a team, as long as one character makes the dependent check, any character can then attempt the follow-up check.
For example, in the Crusader’s Blade section, making the Appraise check gives you good information and is important, but it does not unlock the dependent check. If anyone makes the Diplomacy check, then anyone (that same character immediately or someone else) may attempt the dependent Knowledge Local check, or may simply declare that they are heading to the Grand Lodge Records Archive.

[ooc]@GM Nomadical: Would it be ok for everyone to assume that Grunjar constantly casts guidance on them during the investigation part(s) as mentioned above?
I don’t mind a liberal use of guidance. But I ask for reasonable and logical limits. At its core is the issue that guidance only lasts 1 minute, but requires a standard action to cast, of which there are only 10 in a minute. So, sure, a caster could cast guidance on the 5 party members (including himself) each minute, but it would be a little weird for him to be walking around doing almost nothing else except moving from one to another casting a spell every few seconds.
Certainly when a party member is about to engage in an activity that another party member can see and which will be accomplished in a short time, then yes, one can assume that Grunjar cast guidance. Examples include picking a lock, climbing a wall, jumping a stream, examining an item, reading a text in a lost language, etc. Using it on yourself before attempting something purely mental, such as a sense motive check makes sense also. [[“Hmm, I wonder what they’re really thinking?” Cast guidance as you contemplate their body language and tone of speech.]]
But the problem arises with checks that take an indeterminate or lengthy amount of time, or which require continuous interaction with others. That's why guidance can't be used for Day Jobs. Imagine in your mind’s eye what it would be like for a staff member to be chatting with Bedisa while Grunjar stands behind her continuously casting a spell. I expect that might freak the staff out and make them less likely to open up, not more. (I realize that’s not what you posted as your actions, but an example of how “constantly” casting it might look in certain situations.)
It’s kind of a moot point, since the investigation is over at this point. It also didn’t really matter for Bedisa’s last Sense Motive, since Grunjar hit the DC anyway. And I get that PBP makes things weird with the non-linear party actions due to posting sequence, so I do tend to be liberal with Aid Anothers and guidance anyway. But “constant” is a bit much.
Anyway, back to the action!

Back from vacation and catching up now.
Welcome back! Hope it was a refreshing break. No worries, you didn't miss much.
Have a Bloodrager 3/Shaman 2 (Bedisa) that I would like to play. She's done quite a few of the Blakros's scenarios. Planning on playing her during PaizoCon so she *should* be level 6 by the time we start.
Did you end up leveling Bedisa from PaizoCon? It doesn't affect tier or anything, but just want to make sure her stats, etc. on her profile page are correct.

Nope. Linguistics has two functions, and they are completely unrelated to each other. It does cause confusion, but it's pretty clear once one reads the skill description from the CRB.
(Link to AoN for reference.)
Putting a rank in Linguistics lets you learn to read, speak, understand, and write a language. But skill checks using Linguistics are only for written material. You could use Linguistics to study an ancient text and try to decipher the meaning, or you can create or detect forged written materials. But there are no provisions for using Linguistics checks to understand the spoken word, presumably due to the speed at which it occurs.
FWIW, this language is called D’ziriak, and this is the only reference to it that I've ever seen.

Orange follows Gunjar and again tries to relieve the cleric of his new weapon.
[dice=Attack, Leaping, vs CMD]d20+11+1
And the battleaxe joins the warhammer on the ground.
Don't be sorry, their tactics plays right in my cards.
Each action my opponent uses to attempt to disarm me (successful or not) is one he does not use to do any damage, so mission accomplished! ;-)It only takes my move action to draw another weapon, but he uses up his standard action... that's my tactic, for now.
Although, if any of my comrades moved a bit nearer to Grunjar (target squares indicated by the green plus signs), he would have a great buff waiting for them for their next round(s):
For the next round, any time the target rolls a d20, he may roll twice and take the more favorable result.
You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.
