This game begins on September 4, 2023.
Signups are handled through Gameday. Please sign up there to claim your spot. I will adjust the player list here to match the signup sheet on September 3.

Does your character have credit for any other Season 1 scenarios? I recall this scenario making reference to events in another scenario, but I don't have the scenario yet so I don't know which one. I figure credit for Season 1 should be rare by this point.

Salaish has Inspire Competence, Inspire Courage, and Inspire Defense. She'll usually default to Inspire Courage during combat. If we get another bard, though, she can switch it up. (She was once on a team with two other bards. It was a very Inspired group.)

Character Level (required): 3
Character PFS Number (required): 289224-2004
Character Faction (optional): Radiant Oath
Downtime Instructions (optional):
Gnimish will need level bumps as this is most likely high tier...
We currently have 4 signups on the spreadsheet, 4 PCs checked into Gameplay and 3 players checked into Discussion. But, I believe Aerondor has checked in twice in Gameplay, and Gnimishmeijinomu has not checked into Gameplay.
I've posted a recruitment message on Cottonseed. I'm going to remove Teja from the player list, and ping UncleFroggy.
I'll get the slides up this week, and we can begin on the 4th in my time zone. I'm US Pacific (GMT-8), so it might be the 5th if you're one of the 7 billion people in an earlier time zone. :D

Season 1 games
- #1-10: Tarnbreaker's Trail
- #1-14: Lions of Katapesh
- #1-07: Flooded King's Court
- #1-15: The Blooming Catastrophe
- #1-01: The Absalom Initiation
- #1-03: Escaping the Grave
Do you want quests too (since I think those died after season 1).
1. Slides are up. Please put your icon on Slide 2 in marching order, and fill out the Perception and Initiative modifiers.
2. We are 3, 4, 5, 5, 6 = 19 CP, which is high tier. Does anyone have mentor boons for Gnimish?
3. Does anyone have GM glyphs for extra Hero Points?
4. Does any character here have credit for Quest #4: Port Peril Pub Crawl? (This actually replaces the question about which Season 1 scenarios you've played, I remembered there was a little tidbit but couldn't remember which scenario it was from.)

Salaish can offer the Rugged Mentor boon.
Her default Exploration Activity is Detect Magic, which is stated in her header.
No Glyphs here.
No PPPC for this PC. (Say that five times fast.)

FYI: I'll be away this coming weekend starting Friday evening 9/8 through Sunday 9/10 (US/Pacific time). I will have limited access to post from my phone, so I may be able to keep up over the weekend but can't guarantee a post. As it is the weekend, I suspect this won't be very disruptive to the game.
This scenario will make use of overland travel rules quite frequently, and as reference, a summary is included for your reference on Slide 3. You'll have chances to make purchases in a bit, but one thing to note is that the party overland travel speed is dependent on the slowest PC.

The Alices will be taking the pathfinder potion of minor healing.
Other than that, they are ready.
BTW, If Alice, the doll uses Evolution Surge on Alice, the little girl, giving it +20 on its speed, then, could the little girl carry Khaul? Would that make the general speed of the party faster?
The little girl's speed is currently 35. The Evolution Surge makes it 55.
Even if the little girl only got two actions per round (from carrying another creature), it would still be able to move 110 feet per round, which is more than a creature moving only 25 feet/action can do.
This would probably mean that the little girl would have to spend an action in the first round of an encounter to put Khaul down, but, it might be worth it to move faster.

I very much want to see a little girl carry a fully grown, armored dwarf and all his belongings--plus her doll--for mile after mile. That would be a.maz.ing.
Salaish's school item is a scroll of Haste. (Heroism and Inspire Courage both do status bonuses, so keep that in mind if anyone else has the option to choose a scroll of Heroism.)
BTW, If Alice, the doll uses Evolution Surge on Alice, the little girl, giving it +20 on its speed, then, could the little girl carry Khaul?
No. As I understsand it, Evolution Surge is a focus spell, and it only lasts for 1 minute, so while you could cast it, you'd have to rest for 10 minutes out of every 11.

Salaish: Spending 11.8 gold to buy a potion of Water Breathing and a pup tent.
Salaish: I'm tracking the rounds of Inspire Courage in the combat tracker. It's a little weird because in PbP people act "out of order" so I make sure that everyone gets 3 rounds of IC, based on who posted before and after you when you cast Lingering Composition. So, for example, Gnimish has only had 1 round acting with IC, even though most everyone else has had 2.
As per my usual M.O., I have neglected to hand out Hero Points.
I should have handed out 3 by now, and I'll give them to the PCs with 1. Everyone should have 2 now.

Dang, caught between the devil and the deep blue sea. While I hate to leave you at the mercy of those wights, I think I'll likely be more effective against the giants. Unless anyone really minds, I'll have Khaul take them on. Feel free to offer an IC suggestion to change and I can easily stay where I am and fire a divine lance at the wights.
[X] Primary Objective: Find the log and three pieces of the decoder amulet.
[X] Seconary Objectives (2 of 4):
[X] Find the logbook at the Sunken Idol without assistance.
[X] Find the amulet at the Honor Spire without assistance.
[X] Reach Defaka Outpost in less than a week.
[ ] Uncover Fact D* or better in Defaka Outpost.
* You discovered the location of the barrow (A and B), and that there were undead guarding the barrow (C). With 3 more Successes, you would have discovered the creek was deep enough to hide the giant skeletons (D) and about the necromantic aura (E) before you arrived, giving you time to buy stuff to prepare, e.g., scrolls of dispel magic or heal.
Treasure Bundles:
[X][X] Elephant Graveyard (rock salt**)
[X][X] Sunken Idol (staff, scroll, potion)
[ ][ ] Stone Serpent Obelisk (orichalcum***)
[X][X] Honor Spire (figurine, potion)
[X][X] Warlock’s Barrow (cash)
** It wasn't obvious that the rock salt was worth 2 Treasure Bundles, but its value was only revealed in a Critical Success spoiler for the Society check in this post, which none of you hit. Still, you took the salt, so I gave you the Bundles.
*** In this post I alluded to a debrief at the end of the scenario, and here it is: there were another 2 Treasure Bundles gated behind a Critical Success, and this time it required something you didn't do. The "bright point" on one of the serpentfolk heads was a bit of orichalcum, which needed to be pried out. If any of you remember some discussion about some unreasonably tough Treasure Bundles to acquire in Season 1 ... here it was.
When I played this, my alchemist binked the Critical Success, so my group ended up getting all 10 Treasure Bundles; one of the reasons I wanted to run this was because I heard we were outliers for getting full treasure, and I wanted to see where we had gotten lucky.

Regarding the "fourth site" listed in the final post, I honestly don't know whether this was a loose end that was never tied up, or if it was, and I missed it. The Season 1 metaplot scenarios (the implied three sites) are found in #1-11, Flames of Rebellion; #1-16/#1-17, The Perennial Crown; and #1-20, The Lost Legend. I don't know what the fourth site refers to.
Chronicle Sheets can be found HERE.
I'm going to wait to confirm that the Chronicle Sheets are correct before reporting the game; because it's reported through the convention, revising is tricky.
1. Khaul: I didn't get an Earn Income roll for you, so I left it blank. I can revise if you want it on your Chronicle.
2. Gnimish: You copied Salaish's homework, and left her PFS number in there. Naughty, naughty! Fortunately, you have your PFS information in your header.
3. Alice: I pulled your information from the convention signup sheet. Please let me know if you'd like a different faction or if you'd like Earn Income added.

Salaish playfully swats Gnimish's hand. "Seriously, Gnimish! You're plenty smart enough to do it yourself."
Chronicle looks good. Thank you, GM Watery Soup, for a fun game. Bummer that we didn't get all the treasure bundles, but if it was easy to do that in every game it would be less of a fun challenge.
It was a pleasure playing with all of you, and I'll gladly share a table with you again any time.
The game has been reported to the Gameday site. It should go up on Paizo in a few days. I will keep this thread open until I can verify that the game was reported, and that the characters were reported correctly.
Alright, folks, I'm seeing the game reported but with multiple errors.
1. My character only received 2 Reputation.
2. I believe, but can't confirm, that all the characters received 0 Reputation. Can someone confirm they received the credit for the scenario, but 0 Reputation?
3. Alice, I got a note about your registration about which I will PM you. Please check your PMs.
