Please keep the majority of OOC and off-topic chatter to this thread, please!
Blub.
Blub indeed!
As promised, you can find the RPG Chronicles sign-in sheet here ---> Sign-In Sheet, Yo!.
Right now, the planned start date for our game is Monday, May 29th so as to give us as much time as possible for shenanigans~
Howdy folks! Opening post is up over in Gameplay but seeing as this is the last day of the VTT part of PaizoCon *and* a holiday Monday here in the US, we'll take it slow for a couple of days until everyone is able to get checked in and ready to roll. Also, while I exist on US Central Standard Time I work the graveyard shift and tend to keep to those hours even when not working - so look for my posts to happen more often during the evening/night than daylight hours. I do sometimes have the time to post from work but given the nature of my job it's not a sure thing and can vary from night to night.
A macro sheet as well as the maps + slides are linked at the top of the campaign please. Please fill out the macro sheet for your character as well as Slides #2 & #3 with the relevant character information. Also be sure to fill out your information at the RPG Chronicles link at the top of the page if you haven't already.
Now...let's have some fun! And questions. If you have any questions about anything and/or if you are NEW to PbP here on the forums, please don't hesitate to let me know! :)
Plenty of glyphs to go around, it looks like!
@Samantha - No worries and thanks for the update!

Door Prizes
So Paizo is giving away $15 vouchers as door prizes! Everyone please roll a d20 - a 19 or 20 is a winner! If you win, I'll need an email address so that HQ can get your prize to you; feel free to PM me if you'd rather not post it publicly. For VTT games this would be done at the end of the game but given the nature of PbP we're going to do this now so I can get any winners submitted prior to June 20th.
Hey folks, I'm heading out of town to a convention today and won't be home until Monday afternoon at some point. I'll be taking my Chromebook with me as I expect I'll have some downtime between sessions to check in on the forums. So posting might be down to just once a day until Monday but I'll do my best to do more as needed and will be giving my GM games priority over player games.
It's the weekend so I'll give Sev and Gilgamesh a little longer to respond with any preferences on the challenge selection and then go from there. I'll be back home from the con by tomorrow afternoon so my posting should even out a little more, too :)
Ummm, GM? How was the con?
Couldn't help but ask in character :)
It was good! I didn't actually get back until yesterday afternoon - and promptly and unintentionally crashed out for the night once I got unpacked and settled back in. I only played in one PFS game which was #4-14 Shattering Golden Chains and it was the very last slot of the con (Sunday 7p-11p) but I had a really good time with it. Even though my bard was the lowest level character she was still able to contribute quite a bit with Inspire Courage/Competence and some timely Counter Performance/Liberating Command shenanigans.
The rest of my gaming time at the con was spent on BOARD/CARD GAMES! I got to try out Massive Darkness, Clank!, Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion, Frosthaven, Arkham Horror: The Card Game, The Deadlies, Verdant, and Guild of Merchant Explorers. Of all of those, Clank! was the only one I'd played before. Had a great time with everything and thankfully all of my fellow players/GMs were cool. I get few chances to play board/card games hence me opting for doing that over playing Pathfinder for the most part. But my big bro went with me to the con and I had to get in at least one PFS game with him :)
Sorry Gilgamesh...just two more rounds of poetry after the current one and then we can move on to tug-of-war, which should be a little more fun for him :)
Samantha's player is running a table of this as well, where I'm playing. We also couldn't really hit on a pair of challenges that worked perfectly for everyone so we did much the same as here with one 'physical' challenge and one 'mental' challenge - tug-of-war and medicine, respectively.

I have had some bad news in my family this week. My father-in-law has been the hospital for tests, was diagnosed with leukemia, and has begun chemo. My family is scheduled to leave for a week's vacation tomorrow, although that is a bit up in the air. Either way, my posting may be limited for at least the next week.
Please feel free to bot Sev as needed. He prefers using his databanks over physical effort, but has a +4 Acrobatics (untrained) and +0 Athletics (untrained).
In combat, he prefers to keep his distance and use spells, particularly trying to optimize a magic missile spell. If required by the mission to engage in melee, he will resign to do so by first trying to identify an opponents weakness (Identify), then striking, then taking a strategic retreat. He will always use his last action to Stride away from opponents if able, even if it means he must forego an attack for the round.
I'm really sorry to hear that, Sev. I'll keep your FIL and the rest of your family in my thoughts. Don't worry about the game - we'll be here when you're able and feel up for posting.

Thank you for your support. It is very much appreciated.
Unfortunately, my father-in-law passed away last week the day after we left for vacation. Although he had been in the hospital for the week prior for tests, we understood his condition to be "stable" before we had left.
He was a remarkable man and is deeply missed. His passing is hitting my family quite hard, especially having happened so soon after the loss of my mother just a few months ago.
I'm sorry to hear of your father-in-law's passing, Sev. Hang in there and don't worry about the game - I'm happy to continue botting as needed.
Apologies for the mistakes, guys. I may need to quit trying to post while at work because I clearly make more mistakes when I get interrupted while doing combat posts -_-
I'll adjust things accordingly tomorrow afternoon when I've got more time but Olombe definitely doesn't take an AoO.
And we're done! Thank you to everyone for playing - I hope you had a good time! It looks like I've got RPG Chronicles info for everyone but Olombe; as soon that's filled out I'll get your chronicles to you and get the game reported :)

Yarr, thank you very much for GMing.
Just wanted to double check the GP was correct. For Squish I'm seeing 15.2 which is 4 level 3 bundles when I would have expected 5 bundles for 19.
I haven't read the quest, did we miss out on max rewards, or am I wrong about expected rewards or is the sheet in error?
Thanks <3
Whoops, you're right that there are 5 total that can be obtained. Give me a few minutes and I'll send out revised chronicles.
