Ah... I was going to say just take Slayer2 and use the Slayer Talent to get Rogue Talent (Combat Trick), but your archetype loses the Slayer 2 talent.
Some other full-BAB classes give feats from a more limited selection at level 1 (like Blood Conduit Bloodrager or Gendarme Cavalier) but I don't know of any that give "any combat feat" besides fighter. Lore Warden or Skirmisher might be good choices, giving up armor proficiency for more skill points. Gloomblade gets a kind of cool trick at 1st in addition to the feat.
As Arcturus says, though, Brawler for Martial Flexibility would let you pick up Spring-Heeled Reaping on the fly, plus you would also get Improved Unarmed Strike and +2 Ref over going Fighter.
Ranalus gets Shades as an SLA next level...
On another matter, do we still have everyone?
Botting Fendel's day job:

here are your chronicle sheets. As always, please let me know if there are any problems.
I would suggest a one week pause in the game for the purpose of leveling up. If Fendel is not back after that, we'll either proceed with 5, or look for someone else. Please let me know when you are done with the level up.
There's a big block of X's covering a bunch of text on the chronicle. Boons we didn't earn?
Any possibility you could post the link to our first chronicles? I forgot to save it in my Google Drive.
One of the boons was for a curse if you'd participated in the evil ritual; the other was for dealing with a situation you did not encounter.
I've copied your old sheet into the same folder. I don't leave sheets on the internet for very long.

Thank you!
Bummer we didn't encounter that other situation.
It looks like we're still waiting for Arush, Rogar, and Slash to level up?
Also, I'm pretty sure we've lost Fendel.
Fendel started out one level higher than the rest of you, so has not updated or been heard from. I think we've lost him.
Do you want me to look for someone else, or to continue with our current team of five?
We still need Arush's level up, and for Rogar to update the profile.

I am pretty sure you would get some potential players if you put it out for recruitment - PFS Seeker opportunities are few and far between, and many would take any opportunity to play even just the third part of a module.
So even though I don't think we need another PC, I think it would be a kindness to the PFS community to make that opportunity available.
BUT... I am not sure how this works with the "Everyone begins at 33 XP" Seeker Arc mode for this module. I am pretty sure the Venture-Captains would let you bring in a replacement if it was just for the sake of increasing Seeker PFS opportunities.
Fendel wasn't seeker arc, either. Seeker arc characters and other PFS characters can play together, but only seeker arc characters can get the fourth chronicle sheet.
The next part is actually not PFS sanctioned, so we only do it because we're doing the seeker arc. I'll see if we have someone else who would like to join when we get to the final sanctioned bit. They can get the one chronicle sheet only, unless they have the previous two sheets from a different group.
I just hope we haven't also lost Arush, who has not leveled up and we've heard nothing from in two weeks.

Done.
GM Redelia, I have a request to you to give more descriptions of what we meet, especially places and NPCs. For example, the woman in the last encounter - it's still completely unclear what she looked like (was she beautiful or creepy mutant? not to mention her outfit or her hair color...). Illustrations from the scenario or just pictures from the Internet that are suitable in your opinion will also work instead of text descriptions, if it's more convenient for you. Anything to help immersion and image creation .) Thank you in advance!
There was an image of her posted in the maps...
Well, actually, you had the reason to open the maps of that being the usual place to find NPC portraits. It sounds like you were unaware of this lodge convention, however. I would say about half of the time do GMs mention that there are NPC images, and half of the time just assume that players know to look there.
There were several times earlier, like Habblegash, that there was an NPC portrait unrelated to combat, but it sounds like you might have missed those also.
To explain my general procedure for combat tokens, since you bring that up also, if the adventure provides art, I use that to make a token. If it does not, I use the relevant image from a Paizo bestiary, if there is one. If not, then Paizo has not provided images for that being, so I use geometric shapes.
I've been providing you with all the descriptions that the adventure provides, but I'm not going to make up descriptions that are not in the adventure or a bestiary entry for the creature. Hopefully the real problem is that you did not know to look in the map link to check for NPC images.

That's not how it works, though.
i.e. "20% miss chance" means you miss on a roll of 1-20.
"50% miss chance" means you miss on a 1-50.
Low is always bad.
Whenever a roll is required, the roll is noted as “d#,” with the “#” representing the number of sides on the die. If you need to roll multiple dice of the same type, there will be a number before the “d.” For example, if you are required to roll 4d6, you should roll four six-sided dice and add the results together. Sometimes there will be a + or – after the notation, meaning that you add that number to, or subtract it from, the total results of the dice (not to each individual die rolled). Most die rolls in the game use a d20 with a number of modifiers based on the character’s skills, his or her abilities, and the situation. Generally speaking, rolling high is better than rolling low.
Percentile rolls are a special case, indicated as rolling d%. You can generate a random number in this range by rolling two differently colored ten-sided dice (2d10). Pick one color to represent the tens digit, then roll both dice. If the die chosen to be the tens digit rolls a “4” and the other d10 rolls a “2,” then you’ve generated a 42. A zero on the tens digit die indicates a result from 1 to 9, or 100 if both dice result in a zero. Some d10s are printed with “10,” “20,” “30,” and so on in order to make reading d% rolls easier. Unless otherwise noted, whenever you must round a number, always round down.
That paragraph doesn't actually say much about this case. The first paragraph, when it says 'generally speaking, rolling high it better' is saying that most of the time, a higher number is better, for instance when attacking.
The second paragraph tells you how to calculate percentages, but not how to interpret it.
That's why you see about half of the time GMs ruling each way on whether 20% miss chance means 1-20 misses or 81-100 misses.

I've only met a couple players in my 40+ years of playing/GMing that did that & convinced them otherwise. It's a bad habit passed from GM to player, then player to GM, and so on.
So, for example, in the module we're playing, does it say "there's a 20% (or whatever percent) chance" bad stuff happens?
Or, does it say, "on a roll of 81-100 on Percentile dice", (bad stuff happens)?

I had a good discussion on discord and many others agree, 20% means a roll of 1-20. Mainly for consistency since that was the rule from D&D's beginnings and how many of us have played it since.
But, your way is fine, Redalia. Like any "obscure houserule", it should have been mentioned before any of us rolled, though.
As Stunt Monkey pointed out to you on Discord, this is not a house rule. The house rule would be to insist that the percentage must be interpreted the one direction.
I do agree that which way is which should be specified before rolls, but in this case I made the error of forgetting to do so. Before resolving that error, I looked to make sure that everyone who had already rolled was going to be safe; if not I would have asked for rerolls.
I'm ill, so may not post for a few days. I'll probably only be able to post to my convention games, which have a time limit. Sorry, and I'll be back as soon as I can!

Hello everyone!
I'm going away for two weeks, and I'll be without internet at all. This is a yoga and meditation retreat with complete disconnection from the outside world. I will be in touch from May 15, I will start playing from about the 16th. I tried to reduce the number of games to a minimum (without starting to play new oneshots for some time), with such an eye that after returning I only needed to read a couple of hundred posts, and not around a thousand, as it could be with my usual 15+ games at the same time. So I think I'll switch back on quickly!
Don't lose me, I will definitely come back and continue playing!
PS Feel free to bot Arush ;)
Formulas, as always, are in his character sheet.
See you.
Enjoy your time unplugged, Arush!
Right now we are in the middle of the piece of the adventure that is not sanctioned, but which we play because we're doing the whole adventure.
Let me know when you get back, and I can post in discussion a recap of what you missed.
