I try to post every day to keep things moving, and if you can keep a similar pace, that would be great. We all have real life interruptions of course, so if you can't post and we're in the middle of something like a combat, please give me bot instructions or I'll assume your PC does Total Defense. Because this game is part of a convention, we have a hard deadline to close, so we need to move a bit faster than normal.
Please place a good array of information in your character header. Knowing your PC's armor class, Perception mod, Initiative mod, etc., saves me a lot of time when doing posts. If you need help figuring out how to format that, we can help you.
If you're new to Pathfinder, Pathfinder Society, conventions, or play-by-post, just let me know--I'm always happy to help.
If you want to earn extra GM love, posting a full character sheet in your profile is great. That way I can look stuff up and answer my own "how did they do that?" questions. Related, if you have some crazy weird or complicated build and want to explain anything, here's a good place.
Please note that I don't keep a running tally of the damage your character has taken (or other expenditures of resources like spell slots, etc.) You'll need to do this yourself and regularly update your tagline.
You'll need a picture of your character for the grid scenes.
Finally, role-playing is good! Please give your PC some personality and engage with the other PCs and NPCs. I'll gently move us along if we're dwelling too much in one part of the scenario.

I am using a replay on this scenario. I played it once before with a party that had a shapechanger and the whole thing went off the rails quickly, so I only have "knowledge" up to a certain point.
Sorry for the interruption, but I have to be away for the weekend. Please use the opportunity for wedding-themed feasting and fist-fights, and I'll be back on Monday.

No worries I've been known to instigate keep things exciting...
I was trying to (metaphorically) turn lemons into lemonade, but it didn't work! Sometimes, I find, the best cure for a bad day is to go to sleep, and wait for a new day to start :)

Okay I just thought you were going to show up at one of our houses and beat us up under the heading of, "Squeezing lemons"...

Storms killed the neighborhood internet yesterday. Will post next when I have service back. Please bot me until then
@Tabar: You've been in enough encounters in the scenario that I would have to issue you a Chronicle anyway, so my suggestion is to just carry on--this is the last encounter.
We still have time for the conclusion and some epilogue role-playing, but now's a good time to go ahead and roll your Day Job checks if you haven't already done so. I need to create a link for RPG Chronicles, and I'll try to do that in the next day or two.

Day job, what's that? It's for PCs with actual skill points! I'll see if Trajan has a faction option if I can ever find his card.
He started out life at in-person gaming only and I only play him twice a year in PbP.
GM, during this adventure did we 'acquire a unique magic item and deliver it safely to the Pathfinder Society'? I'm not sure if any of the four gifts qualified as that.
If not, Hamish's FJC will be 'Have a number of ranks equal to your character level (minimum 4) in one of the following skills: Bluff, Knowledge (arcana), Profession (archivist, librarian, or scribe), Spellcraft, or Use Magic Device.'
Hamish also needs to spend some prestige and gold to retrain a feat.
He is retraining his level 3 feat 'lingering performance' to 'arcane strike'.
@Hamish: I've had a look, and I don't think any of the gifts qualify (the last one is close, but since it says it doesn't have any detectable magic, I can't say for sure).

Ok everyone, Chronicles are available here. Any problems, just let me know and I'll fix them up.
Usual end of scenario reminder to make sure to remove used consumables (wand charges, potions, etc.) from your inventory tracking sheets, scratch off used boons, and to deduct the cost of any purchases made.
@Hamish: Crap, sorry. Either I misunderstood the formula or my calculator lied to me. I'll get it fixed up for you (and other out-of-subtiers) tomorrow.

I'm pretty sure the GM is skimming off the top! 8)
