The Medicine check should be one action. I missed the second attempt vs orange, and Itka wasn't up yet when I posted; I meant to resolve her actions after the proteans, and then forgot.
Sorry, guys. Will sort it all out now.
Would there be sufficient rest time for out of combat healing? Khunbish can do 2d8+10 every 10 minutes automatically.
No, the portal automatically activates when the flowers were revived, and then the creatures attack as soon as they see you.

Aerin, if you use electric arc as part of spellstrike (using expansive spellstrike), you can only target one creature, the one you are striking with your weapon.
- If the spell lets you select a number of targets, it instead targets only the creature you attacked with your Strike.
Thanks for raising it, yeah, I saw that, so effectively it make no sense (unless you want that type of damage very badly), overall it is ok'ish for fireballs, lightnings etc, but it does give basic save on top of you not crit failing ;)
So a bit of action economy (1 action attack, 1 action spell)

Fireball might not be such a good idea either, since "A burst is centered on a corner of the target's square", i.e. you would be caught in it, too. :)
From what I've read, expansive spellstrike works best for starlit span, i.e. ranged spellstrike, since you can place the area effect according to the range of your weapon. Imagine a lightning bolt not emanating from you, but from where your arrow lands. But yes, saving an action is also a good use of expansive spellstrike. The magus in the game I'm running loves throwing lightning bolts together with his greatsword. :)

Alright, so here's my attempt at a summary of what happened.
1. Rindle Rainfickle was murdered by a dandasuka named Nevashi, who poses as Rindle at the beginning of the scenario. There is no motivation given, but as a demon, Nevashi probably doesn't need anything more complex than thinking it's cool.
2. There are two types of samples that the PCs can collect. One is a "real" sample (generally upon group Success), and the other is a phytolith. The phytoliths anger the axiomites towards the end of the scenario.
3. There were three different planar intrusions into the Maze: one from Axis (solved with the axiomite encounter), one from the Maelstrom (the protean encounter), and one from Akiton (the final encounter). The intrusions are not connected in any way, they're just things you need to deal with one at a time.
I'll give the scenario authors a little "Season 1 slack" and point out it was the first Level 5-8 scenario, so I think they were expecting more people to be familiar with the Maze (which goes all the way back to Season 0 of PFS1!) and for the combat encounters to be interesting since they were higher level than anything anyone had faced until then. But, overall, I felt like a lot of narrative gaps were missing, even after I flipped through a whole bunch of PFS1 scenarios.
I hope you had fun, despite "losing" 2 Treasure Bundles. If any of you qualify but haven't purchased it, Treasure Bundle Insurance is available to cover the gap (you'll need 60 Reputation with your faction, though).
Can we roll the downtime?
Yes, but by default I'm going to let you put it in yourselves, so if you want me to put it in for you, you'll need to explicitly ask me to.
And yes, would like to purchase the insurance. (Didn't know it existed!) How do I show the proof of purchase? :)
I believe the rule as written is that you buy the boon, print it out, and bring the paper copy to the table. To my knowledge, these rules have never been updated for online play (PbP/PbD/VTT). I asked about this years ago, and everyone basically shrugged and suggested a screenshot. Of what? The boon, or the purchase thereof? Everyone just shrugged again.
It's 4 AcP, so, on a practical level, it's honor system. If you're going to sully your soul by cheating, I strongly recommend doing it for more than 2 Treasure Bundles of pretend gold pieces. :)
I actually don't alter the reporting, but I can put a note on your Chronicle if you'd like.
when reporting pls mark that I used a replay (as I did)
Ruh roh. I will need to re-Report the game. I believe there's a checkbox you can check to indicate a Replay; I can check it for you if you can't find it.
Is anyone else using a Replay?
I wonder why they gave this one a title that implied a female boss when they didn't include one. Or was that Nevashi?
It's not Nevashi. Nevashi gets he or they pronouns in the text (it's actually a little confusing because Rindle's pronoun is he so most of the time the author uses he, but it's unclear whether the pronoun is for Rindle or Nevashi).
The final creatures (witchwyrds) were not given pronouns.
Eliza would be an obvious choice, she's trying to stabilize the Maze and features prominently in the scenario. Armaline, the VC of the Woodsedge Lodge, would be the other, even though she barely gets a mention. Armaline is the official caretake of the Maze.
There is no overarching nemesis in the scenario.

Pfff. I was certain that I did that. sorry I have checked it in RPGchronicles,
I was certain that I did that.
It's quite possible you did. I'm not very familiar with RPGChronicles, but in my limited experience, I've found myself having to double-check and triple-check everything it's doing. I actually don't think it saves me very much time, and outside of the convention de facto forcing me to use it (the "guest login" doesn't work), I see no reason to use it in my personal games.
The game was reported, with the following errors:
1. Marigold, the system thinks you've played this before. Are you consuming a Replay?
2. Farol, the reporting shows up with a PFS character Gnavy. Is Aerin a replacement?
3. Rannarix, the system thinks you've played this before. Are you consuming a replay?

Yeah Gnavy is the PFS name that i created, but before hitting lvl 2 I rebuild the pc and I decided that I like another name for that PC (Aerin) so I play him on alias, Gnavy is the right destination for chronicle ;)
Dangit, looks like I have. Okay, guess I’ll replay. Thanks!
Okay.
So... how do I get a Replay to consume?
First, you should check whether you have some already. A while back, everyone was given some. I thought it was 2+glyphs, but that's wrong, because I currently have 8 (plus I've used 2), and I don't have 8 glyphs.
You can check by going to My Account -> Organized Play -> GM/Event Coordinator. It should list the number of replays you have.
Second, if you don't have replays, you can buy them. They're under Achievement Point Boons, and they cost 40 AcP.
I'm going to wait for Rannarix before submitting the request, just to make sure I don't have to do it a third time.
I can note it on your Chronicle if you want, but there's no requirement to do so. The only time it shows up is when it's reported.

Were the chronicles posted? I haven’t seen them. Thanks!

Wow, dunno how I missed that. Thank you!
I'm taking care of it, you don't need to do anything.
Because the game is reported by a third party, there's going to be a little bit of a lag time. I can't just resubmit the RPGChronicles.
The reporting has been fixed. Everyone should have credit now.
I'll close this campaign down in about 24 hours or after Marigold, Rannarix, and Aerin confirm they've got the credit they expect.
I'm always available by PM, so after the thread is closed you can always reach me there. It's been a pleasure playing with all of you, and I'm pretty sure I'll see you all in other games. :)
