You can use the bonuses granted by the conditions at any point in the scenario.
□ Course Charted
□ Mushroom Ring Disabled
□ Pathfinders Rescued
□ Plants Cut Down
□ Shifters Defeated
□ Animals Defeated: At the start of one round of combat, a group of animals rushes into battle to assist. For that round, any PC making a melee Strike can treat their target as flanked.
□ Course Charted: The PCs don’t have to worry about finding the path and can be on the lookout for danger. At the start of one encounter, the PCs each gain a +2 circumstance bonus to their initiative rolls.
□ Mushroom Ring Disabled: At the beginning of one combat encounter, the PCs can reduce their Challenge Points by 2 for the purposes of scaling the encounter (or by 4, in Levels 5–6). If applied to an encounter for which this adjustment would otherwise have no effect, decreases the AC, attack modifiers, DCs, saving throws, and skill modifiers of any creatures or hazards the PCs face by 2. Additionally, decrease the DC of all skill checks during this encounter by 2.
□ Pathfinders Rescued: With the befuddled Pathfinders protected, they can assist with medical needs. At the end of one encounter, a helpful cleric casts a three-action heal, recovering 2d8 Hit Points in Levels 3–4 or 3d8 Hit Points in Levels 5–6.
□ Plants Cut Down: The PCs can use their experience cutting through plants easily. For 1 round, the PCs can ignore difficult terrain.
□ Shifters Defeated: The PCs are good at avoiding being caught by surprise. For one round of combat, the PCs can’t be made flat-footed.

Okay, I have (had) three hero points, so I will use one for that Crit Heal on Haechi. Was worried that was my only HP.
Looks like you ninja'd my Gameplay post.
Given our somewhat diminished health going into what looks like the last set of encounters, might I suggest that we invoke Pathfinders Rescued and pick up some hit points at the end of the mushroom ring encounter?
That settles that.
If you have any Daily Preparations, please take a moment to do that now!

Do any of us besides Haechi have a decent modifier in Arcana, Occult, Nature, or Religion? As a party, it looks like simply lack the skills to be successful at ritual casting.
Well, Anjo has Nature, but essentially I agree with this appraisal. Our group is not properly configured for success with a ritual; too many burly types; not enough thinkers.
Haechi is all for it, of course; he loves nothing more than a good ritual. But from a meta-gaming player perspective, I'm hoping the rest of you will take the other option and drag poor Haechi kicking and screaming into another fight.
If you have any Daily Preparations, please take a moment to do that now!
Last call!
Before hearing the pipes, you can cluster or spread anywhere you like, preparing for threats from any direction!

A couple of questions:
1. What are the terrain types on the map? I see blue water. What is difficult terrain, what are solid objects providing cover?
2 Do we know what direction the attackers are coming from given the drums?
3. How far off are the drums? Anjo is going to precast Gravity Weapon when the sound is close enough to be be in view.
Terrain
Grass @ Normal
Mud / Trail @ Normal
Tree Trunks @ Obstacle
Tree Roots @ Difficult Terrain
Shallow River @ Difficult Terrain
Mushroom Patches @ Difficult Terrain, provide Cover
Cliff Face by Northernmost Tree @ 5-ft Wall to Climb
You do not know the direction the attackers are coming yet - no "pre-casting" here - you are welcome to cast spells on your turn normally, however.

Ouch. At least with Deny Advantage, I don't think I'm flat footed.
This is actually the first time I've been on the receiving end of Color Spray in 2e.
Is this accurate?
Since Color Spray is Stunned 1, Blinded 1 round, Dazzled 1 minute, on my next turn I have 2 actions to attack. And since I think I know where it is (from where it attacked right next to me), I think it'll just be a DC11 flat check to hit him for one round and then DC5 for the rest of the fight.
Am I able to target that square with an attack? Or do I need to locate him first?
Players,
Syntax for targeting Hidden creatures - so there is no "order of operations" confusion:1) Roll to Strike
2) Roll to Damage
3) Roll to Flat Check
You have the right of it Thellira - and can target the square - please follow the syntax above!

I don't understand why you don't roll to flat check first and save the time and effort of having to type in a bunch of attacks that aren't going to hit?
By RAW, the flat check is triggered by the hidden creature being targeted by an attack, spell, or other effect; it is not triggered merely by an intention to do so. As such, by RAW, the flat check is meant to be rolled after the attack and damage rolls, and since PFS games are played using RAW, then...
Generally speaking, unless the GM's requests for how they want us to format our posts goes against RAW, I find it best to just do as I'm asked without complaint.
Yes, we have an Inspire Courage active for rounds 2-4, which means that you get a +1 to all your attacks and damage rolls during those rounds. Look at Haechi and Thellira's last attacks to see how we're doing it.
Excellent work, Pathfinders! We have repelled the Thorned Monarch’s advance forces.
□ Advance Repelled: The PCs are bolstered by defending Voth from the fey onslaught. Each PC begins the encounter in Part III with 10 temporary Hit Points.

Reminder!
The ritual is a success and Gregaro Voth is free! The demiplane can’t control him any longer.
□ Advance Repelled: The Thorned Monarch and their forces are weakened by the ritual’s success. The DC of all fey creatures’ abilities in the encounter in Part III are reduced by 1.

Maybe now would be a good time to activate the last of the Timely Inspiration tokens we have?
And what about these "Advance Repelled" and "Gregaro Voth Free" boons we've seen go by. Does "Each PC begin the encounter in Part III with 10 temporary Hit Points" and is "The DC of all fey creatures’ abilities in the encounter in Part III are reduced by 1." Cause I'm thinking we could use them right about now.
[Edit] Whoops. Never mind. I opened the encounter tracker and it appears that the boons are in effect. I think we should add Timely Inspiration to them as well though.

These are in full effect.
I think it applies only to magical DCs (Thellira would have missed either way) but I will double-check...
Looking at the trackers for the last two fights, I see him as having 10 HPs, and not having had had his wounds tended.
What am I missing?

Based on [u]this[/u] post - everyone should be full at the start of Phase 2.
Looking at the [u]first tracking post[/u] of Phase 2, not everyone was reset to full.
We haven't taken any damage since then.
I went down three fights ago, and was at 10 HP at the end of that fight. At the one hour break, I stated my pearly white spindle aeon stone would fully heal me over the next hour. It heals 1 HP per minute. I haven't taken any damage since.
Ok this should put you at full HP - I will catch it at the next pass.
Looking for a second
We have one week left - please click the Contact Sheet in my DM Alias

Remember That Timely Inspiration is in effect. That's +1 to attacks and +1 to damage. I noticed that Sid and James did not include them in their attacks.
Since it seems that the Stalking Black Fey is about to be pulverized, feel free to redirect either of my attacks to the smaller fey if the big guy's down.
Alright folks, winding down now, expect some closing posts from the House GM in the next couple days, and I will de-activate the campaign on the 17th.
Most of you were great.
NN959, please don't sit at my table again.
