Welcome to my game. Please read the following list.
1) Please go to each of the links, Skill Macros and Maps, in the campaign header and add the requested information.
2) Make sure to post once in 24 hours and at least once during the weekend. Exceptions are holidays.
3) If you are going to be taking some time away from the game for whatever reason, let me know ahead of time and set some botting instructions on your profile.
4) Combat Encounter: Initiative will be rolled for what is selected in the Macro sheet. If for some reason the exploration activity does not mesh with the situation, I will change it to default perception check.
I use block initiative and you may act in any order within the block. If you wish to delay for a certain scenario, such as waiting until after the bard activates their performance, please state it in the post.
If I require saving throws, you may roll those outside of you turn to resolve them faster.
5) Finally, lets have some fun.

Hi all! I know some of you already. Hobbs and Xun might remember Arlo, and Zallarra might recall Thrass, from Bandits of Immenwood. :)
Notes to the GM: I wasn't sure how to write it down in RPG Chronicles, but I've got Natural Medicine, allowing me to roll Nature instead of Medicine for Treat Wounds (and Battle Medicine). Plus I might get a bonus, if applicable. But that's just Treat Wounds, nothing else. Just wanted to throw that out there beforehand, to avoid confusion.
Other than that, lots of ways to cheat action economy: Quick Draw, Quick Jump, Twin Takedown, and Monster Hunter. I also have access to the Shield cantrip and Disrupt Prey.
To everyone else: This is my highest-level melee character. Any must-have (magic) items you'd recommend? I've got my Striking weapons already, but that's kind of it.
Hello everyone!
GM, I'll fill out all the requested information on Monday.
By the way, comrades, I'm still thinking about who to play for - a barbarian or a bard. Both are level 5. Any suggestions on this?
Thanks for joining my game.
One thing though, you would still need to roll a Medicine check for Battle Medicine.
Natural Medicine only specifies it can be used to Treat Wounds, as in the activity.
Battle Medicine is not Treat Wounds. It uses the same DCs as Treat Wounds, but not the same check.
Jury is still out on if you can also heighten the DC to get increased benefits when using Natural Medicine. ie go for DC 20 for more healing. So I'll allow that.
Now as for the magic items thing. For ranger, maybe tracker's googles and/or Coyote Cloak. Also you are at a level to add a Potency Rune to your armor.

Ah, thanks for catching that! That seems less useful than I'd hoped. I might want to retrain Natural Medicine away, then.
Two bards might not be the greatest idea. Won't they get in each others way?
Depends. The nice thing is that if one Bard doesn't sustain their song, the other can pick up the slack. Plus, by this level, there's lots of different songs that could be active. And Bards are much more than just their songs, they still have their spells, so it's not like they're useless once their song is active.
Looking at the signups, we have two primarily magic users (Sorcerer and Wizard), one Bard, and two frontline (Monk and Ranger). That seems like a healthy mix. I'd personally lean towards the Barbarian, but both options seem fine to me.

Hello all and a big thanks to GM ZD for running another game!
Also, yes, I DO remember Thrass from that game many moons ago. That last fight was tough...
I think I have Zallarra up to date here and have filled out everything. Looking forward to the start of the game!
As for barbarian versus bard, unless the group is REALLY lacking in a needed class I always say play what you want. I think we have enough willing to be up close and personal and enough crowd control otherwise not to need the barbarian, as fun as they are. :) So, you feeling angry or poetic?
Game play tab is opened.

Hey @GM ZD first and foremost, thanks for running this game. I am still missing a few season 1 games and this one was one of them. I am glad that we found 2 more players ;)
@Quentin yeah, I do recall Arlo ;) Yet another table together! I played with Larrathion with a pregen (the barbarian) in 1-20 Lost Legends.
@Zallara - hey Joseph, great to be playing with you as well ;) Yet another table :D
@Halgur - I am so happy to see you playing goblin, so far Meadow is my all-time favorite from your PC's, but I like all your creations. So bar is high ;)
@Mitch - I know that I saw your profile before, but we might actually not play together before. I don't see a lot of Monks in my game, so that is great. And it is nice to meet you, unless we met before in which case it was nice to meet you the time that I met you ;) (to quote Flight of the Conchords ;) )
Hey @Eκάτη, I haven't see you in Golarion like ever. We played in SFS two scenarios I played Aravon (half-orc) while you played Yarameh (drow), great character! Awesome interactions!
@Eκάτη - regarding your PC choice, I think you are fine bringing whoever you prefer. Xun has Inspire Defense and Hymn of Healing, so he has options if you would use Inspire Courage.
@All - I am supper happy to play that game with you, those who know me should know that I write that frequently, but it is true ;) I like playing with good players and GM, and this is one of those games.
===============
I need to level up Xun to 5 and I will be ready to go. I will do this today!
@Xun Saburo, I am very glad to play with you again! Yes, it was great. As our GM said, an example when PbP is more convenient than a real voice game ))
So! Friends, since the party is really balanced, then I think I will go from what I like more / more convenient now. And this is the bard. And by the way, suddenly he's level 6 ))

I went ahead and changed your level on the sign in sheet to reflect the corrected level. This way you get the correct gold at the end.
@All, sorry for the unusually late posting. I had a real-time game I was hosting and then had a call to respond to.
GM, thanks! Btw I can't edit info on RPG Chronicle.
PFS number should be 342384-2001. Sorry ^)

Fixed.
GM, thanks!
I'll give one hero point to Dreadfang!
Btw @Dreadfang! how is it possible to play lvl 2 monk on tier 5-8? New rules in Society? I ask without joking - I haven't played the second edition for a long time.

@Larrathion - joins assignments against his better judgement, or getting coerced into taking them?
You mean my backstory? I always joke that he stays behind wherever the mission leaves him, instead of joining back at Pathfinder HQ, and then more Pathfinders come and "rescue" him from the wilderness. :P
@ ‘Eκάτη: I'm guessing they're level 5, but haven't updated their profile in a while. Normally, yeah, you can't bring a level 2 in a 5-8.
@Larrathion, it makes sense )) thanks
I'll give one hero point to Dreadfang!
Looks like Larrathion already gave one to Dreadfang in gameplay. Could you choose someone else?
@all, make sure you check the Maps link in the campaign header or under my in game header to add your tokens to the marching order.
Oh, I didn’t know that we can’t give more than one HP to the character in a row with this GM option. @Larrathion, thanks
Unfortunately not. You can only begin with 2 hero points from Glyphs. There are some workarounds with boons to make it to 3, but those are far and few between.
@Halgur - I am so happy to see you playing goblin, so far Meadow is my all-time favorite from your PC's, but I like all your creations. So bar is high ;)
Meadow is my favorite too. Hobbs is pretty fun though. He's probably my silliest character. That's probably appropriate for a goblin.

That would be correct. Sorry, didn’t realize it had been that long.
One more request by the GM before we get completely underway. If you do not have your speed in your header, please add it. This adventure has overland travel and it is needed to determine speed.

Can we make some purchases? I'm thinking some Smoked Goggles would be useful later.
Hobbs will take a scroll of haste as his school item.
Yes, you can make any purchase while you are still in town.
For the caravan supplies, you all started with 40 days worth and gave 4 days away to the beasts in the first scenario.
If all goes accordingly, you all should reach the meeting spot with in the 10 days.
The way the scenario has the math for this is confusing. It is best to calculate once you are approaching the meeting spot. But I can tell you that with 5 exploration/scouting points, you are making good time.
Do with that information what you will.
@Hobbs, just a reminder, sneaking is a secret check.
Didn't realize I was running for you in two PBP games. Don't worry, I'll Bot you here as well.

Just a heads up. A lot of things are changing at my job right now, so I may slow down on posting, hopefully not though.
Nothing bad, just people moving positions and a promotional process that I am in.

For me it's the same as before, though it's been especially bad for 2-3 weeks now. Need to refresh 3-4 times before the post goes through. If I don't, the post gets lost entirely. Something with cache issues, someone told me, but I'm not very knowledgeable about it, so I don't know. Anyway, I make a habit of copying the post just in case, and just F5'ing until it shows up. Otherwise, Paizo just eats the entire thing.

I've been having the same issue, needing to refresh a few times for the post to show up. Oddly enough, it doesn't seem to lag when you choose to preview it.
Pro GM tip for players and GMs alike, do your really long posts in a word doc and then copy paste over.
