This thread is for out-of-character discussion.
@ Valia & Zubin To have your characters appear in the Characters tab for this table, you will need to post in the Gameplay thread for this table/campaign. Doing so will also cause the notation for new posts to appear for the table in the Campaigns tab for your PC and/or profile, which is helpful to know when you may wish to post or when a post/response may be expected from you. Often players will “dot and delete” in Gameplay thread for a campaign/table to accomplish this. “Dot and delete” simply means posting any sort of character under your chosen profile, even if it is just a “.” (dot) and then immediately deleting the post so that it no longer appears in the Gameplay thread. You are welcome to try to “dot and delete”, but any post in the Gameplay thread is sufficient, so you are also welcome to simply go ahead and make your initial “introductory” post, which usually provides some description of your character, whether through dialogue, inner monologue, or narrative description. As PbP follows a narrative structure (albeit, at times, a somewhat asynchronous one), feel free to describe any backstory or other features of your PC that may not be readily apparent to other PCs, but that you feel may help others roleplay with your PC, contribute to the overall story, or simply make things more fun!
@ All Please provide the information requested for your PC on this Slide. Having that information helps keep the table moving more quickly as I can make secret checks, adjudicate Exploration Mode and Initiatives, keep track of Hero Points, and arrange PC tokens on maps. If you have questions about creating a token, let me know and I will be happy to help.
@ All Please place your token in each of the two marching orders presented on this Slide. This allows me to set up maps more quickly, adjudicating hazard/trap spotting and effects, and keep the table moving whether the party is in a 5-foot wide corridor or a more spread out location.
@ All At the risk of overloading you all at once, I would also ask that each player format the Headers of their PC profile, so that certain information appears in the Headers portion of their posts in the Gameplay thread. Having information like AC, Hit Points, Saving throws, and active conditions will help me adjudicate rolls in less time. This keeps the game moving and also keeps me happy (and you DO want a happy GM, don’t you?)
Some of the information I don’t necessarily need or have already asked you to provide elsewhere, but a good example of a helpful profile can be found with the PbP stat blocks for the pregens, such as the one for Sajan in the Header notes here. Again, if you need help navigating the profile, let me know and I will do my best to answer your questions.
I may be forgetting a few things, but I think I've given you all more than enough for now.
Request for document access sent.
Didn't I say I was "forgetting a few things"?
Access should now work for everyone.

Slides are view only. You need to set the link access to "Anyone with the link can Edit", then probably paste the new links here, or edit the original post.
If anyone needs a format example, I use the following in the character profile:
[code]| Init/Perc +3 | | AC 18 | | Speed: 30 ft| Focus 1/1[/code]
[code][/code]
I can't make it work on the forum, but you can use [ ooc ][ /ooc ] tags (without the spaces between brackets) to separate different information by colour. The ooc tag results in the gray/blue-ish colour as opposed to the standard gray.
You can, of course, use other fields there, and most of them should be visible in the post header beneath your character name and above the character image (if used).

Or did I already mention that? I can't recall.
Anyways, access should now work for everyone.

Confirmed, working now.
Valen, I can also suggest looking at this table
Assuming the players fill in the information, the second slide provides macros for the rolls.
Just be sure to make a copy, since I only have this in my 'generic pfs tools' folder, and it is not editable.

I don't have any skills for any of the letters I believe :P I'll let everyone post and I'll pick up the remaining letter(s). Better than taking something someone else has skills on I figure.
Also, @GM Valen, may I add a Gauntlet to my inventory? I realize now I can have a bludgeoning damage option without sacrificing the duelist, one-handed rapier look.
...On that note, I actually kiiiind of maybe screwed up while dotting and deleting and got my main alias instead of this one. So uh... yeah xD

Thanks, I grabbed a copy. However, I will stick with the current Slide for this table as: 1) I don't want to overwhelm new players with having to post/repost too many stats, and 2) I don't anticipate making many secret checks with any other skills and prefer PCs make their own open checks under most circumstances (although I may make such checks for Initiative, saves, etc., if I think it makes sense).

I am fine with PCs still making purchases at this point in the adventure.

I have removed your main alias from the Character tab. Once a profile has shown up in the tab, I can remove them from the Campaign tab. The main value in the Characters tab for me is to confirm that all the players have appeared and are receiving notifications of posts in their Campaign tabs. Also, it is sometimes useful to help me look up a PC stat more quickly if I need to.
No need to apologize. I didn't mean. To rush anyone. I anticipated a slower post rate for this table and we are still waiting on one of the players to check in. PM was sent. With Outpost, too, I expect my posting rate will slow down somewhat too.

Minor objection. I have 19 hp total max. Took 3+6 (fire breath) + 2 (persistent fire) +7 (melee piercing fire), for a total of 18, so I should have 1 left. Was there anything I missed?
You are correct. The error is mine. I will correct.[/ooc]
I am attending a live con locally this weekend and Rahnboo's player is out of town, so expect posting to be sparse, if at all, until Monday.
Enjoy!
Thanks! I had a good time. It was good to see some gamers face-to-face that I haven't seen since the pandemic began. Attendance was way down from prior years (though I suppose that is to be expected).

So what's the consensus here? I understand there might be an element of urgency, hence the question whether anyone can treat wounds with medicine skill. That does 2d8, we still have a few (two, to be precise) healing elixirs left, and I can still do some lay on hands stuff, but that needs 10 minutes per use to refocus.
Valen, you said this was your daughter, but based on the above, it is a father of some sort.
It made me laugh nevertheless. A+
She came up with that one on her own. As a father, of course, I did not discourage her.
Please provide the requested information for your chronicle sheets here. The essential information is your Organized Play and character numbers and contact information, whether discord or email (so I know where to send the chronicle).
It will help me get the chronicle sheets to you quickly once the adventure concludes.
So just to clarify, we dropped the blue fellow, but the images remain in the room?
No. Sorry, I was unclear. The images of the man also disappear.

Sorry, I was contemplating the next step. I don't recall being given some sort of manifest from the ship. Did we see anything like that? I just skimmed the post from the dock, but I don't think it's mentioned.
I don't have society trained, so can't recognise the source of the writing either. If someone else does, they could try, I suppose.

The party was not given a manifest. Indeed, Seshuun said that the items had not yet been catalogued.
Chronicle sheets for Organized Play for each of the PCs can be found at the link
Please note that players are responsible for completing certain information, including income earned during [url=https://organizedplayfoundation.org/Lorespire/pfs2guide._.Player-Basics#After_the_Adventure]Downtime activities. Every PC is entitled to 8 days of Downtime activities and may attempt to Earn Income with a Crafting, Lore, or Performance check as noted in the Organized Play guide.
Field-commissioned agents may attempt to Earn Income for 12 days as noted under Pathfinder Training in the guide.
That being said, since Corkin previously posted a "Day Job" check, I calculated the silver coins earned and included it on that PC's chronicle sheet.
If you have any questions about the chronicle or spot a possible error, please let me know. Once I receive word that each PC has received their chronicle sheet or after one week, whichever is shorter, I will mark this campaign thread inactive.
Thank you all again for the game and I look forward to sharing a table with each of you in the future!
Well that was fast.
Thanks Valen, and everyone else. Fun times, even if a bit shorter than I expected.
I'm glad you enjoyed this run. I think the scenario was intended to run quick as an intro. Also, with four players, tables generally run pretty fast.
I will be marking this campaign inactive tomorrow.
Thanks again all! Happy gaming!
