A discussion thread for Bounty #3: Shadows and Scarecrows
Welcome to the game!
Before we begin, please fill out the macros and slides linked at the top of the page. On the slides please add your token and work out the marching order. Please also dot in to the gameplay page with the character you will be playing.
If you wish to receive Society credit for this table, please post below with your organised play information as follows:
Player name/alias:
Character Name:
Organised Play number
Character Number:

Number of GM Glyphs and who you will share them with:
Although given your GM experience of the GMs I assume we'll have plenty of glyphs for 2 hero points each.
In addition please let me know if you have you played or GMed this bounty before.
We’ll use this forum for general discussion about the game and any out of character discussions.
I'm expecting everyone to post once per weekday and once on weekends. I'll generally delay a character if they haven't posted for 24 hours while it is their turn or bot them if it is needed. If you have botting instructions that would be great please.
Thanks for joining and I hope we’ll all have a fun game!

As we only have 3 players, which iconic would you like to bring along and who would like to run them?
GM Tiger has had to drop out. Would you prefer to run with two iconics or should we try to recruit an extra player or two?
Hey folks. I'd be happy to jump in. What kind of character do we need/want? I have several that I could bring in. Looks like we are level 1?
Roger. I have a gnome fighter I'll play, unless we get another person that wants to play a similar niche. Always more level 1 character ideas than there is time to play them.

I think I playtested this adventure, but I don't think I've ever played it for experience.
Let's go to five players then and close recruitment at that. Thank-you Matt, Xyntryx and Rainzax for joining us!

Glad to see GM Brenael handling recruitment so well. Also glad to welcome the additional players to the table.
For those of you joining us, I am the GM mentor for this table. As advertised in recruitment, this table is part of the GM School taking place on the boards. While GM Brenael has experience GMing and may have even run tables for some of you in the past, this table is intended to provide an opportunity for GMs to do some "hands on" learning possibly try out some new/different techniques and/or explore ideas discussed in the earlier "classroom" portion of GM school and better develop GMing skills.
None of the players joining us are required or expected to provide any feedback on the game, but do know that those of us participating in GM school, whether as mentors or players, may be doing so even if you do not see it as the feedback will likely be given/discussed in the existing "classroom" areas on these forums.
Although there may be instances in which I, through my PC, may be presenting some "challenges" to the GM to provide "teaching opportunities", I request that those players not participating in GM school please refrain from doing so. Likewise, I would ask that those players not participating in GM school please refrain from making comments or providing feedback that they would not give at a "typical" PbP table. If you feel a strong need to make such comments or provide such feedback, please direct it to me and I will see to their consideration as part of the GM School portion for the GM.
A final note for those of you who have never participated in GM School, while I recognize that many of you are quite experienced, please consider signing up for GM School the next time that it is offered. It is a great way to hone your schools, gain new perspective on GMing, and learning enough about the program to possibly become a future table mentor.
Alright we have a quorum now, and great to see everyone mingling on the road! We still have a few tasks to finish before we can get too far in though:
Vingarrenn Stribe, Minister - Marching order on the slides
Siyokoy Sa Lupa - Slides, marching order, macros
Buzzmark Hardstone - Marching order on the slides
Saturnine Winter - Slides, marching order, macros
Xyntryx - Character details and intro, slides, marching order, macros
Also, is anyone openly wearing a holy symbol?

Chamidu rocks. I was noodling around with an idea about a cleric as well. Especially with all of the new feats in Player Core.
I looked into Gozreh first, but was turned off by the trident favored weapon. Of all things. Arbitrary, I know.
This character will likely go full Centaur after this Bounty, in time to lock in level two.
I want to know more about the Kalpavendi…
I'm going to run this a bit slowly until Frost gets back, as he is the other GM School student. So we won't move off the current scene until Wednesday. After that I'll get back to the normal pace.
I should have posted this right at the top, but please read over my GM expectations in my profile. A couple of key points
Expectations:
* We will all follow the Pathfinder Society Community Standards and Expectations and the Paizo Organized Play Code of Conduct
* We treat fellow players and GMs with respect. Let's maintain a positive and inclusive environment.
* If anything in the game or table makes you feel uncomfortable or unwelcome, please contact me via private message so we can work to resolve it.
I ask that there be no further posts on the current conflict between PCs and we all move on with the scenario. Please be considerate of everyone at the table, particularly as there are some potentially difficult themes to the scenario. As we progress there may well be differing opinions on key decisions to be made but I hope that we can all navigate those amicably and with respect for each other.
Could everyone nominate the order (1-4) they'd prefer to visit the various scenes and witnesses please?
a) Hektril at his and Nema's horse clinic to the east;
b) Etendon's parents herding up in the hills;
c) Lieraka and Maredine's place up behind the village (where Litrial and Ruiha may be at the moment); and
d) Teflar, at the local shrine to the Midnight Lord
Note the order is not set in stone once decided - it will just help with a smooth transition unless/until you decide to change it :)
