One thing which may be worth checking is if it has ended up in your spam folder for your email. If not, its worth letting one of the VOs know that you are missing your GM boon so they can look into it.
No race boons.
It definitely looks like you only got sent your player boons in that case.

I checked that too and nothing was there. I think Cannoli and I were skipped.
I sent a message to a VO and they're looking into it.

Out of interest (as we are fighting a swarm), who has the acid and alchemist's fire we found here.

Since no one seems to have claimed them it is up to the GM if we get pity and they are assumed to be distributed amongst us somehow.

As I am feared far and wide as a capricious and cruel GM, I will allow you all to distribute them. ;)

@Cruel&CapriciousGM, just before I take my actions, did the creatures' attacks bypass Grizzlebin's DR 5 (evil/silver)? (it's triply(?) important because the poison and distraction effects are riders on him having taken bite damage). If the DR is bypassed, does his +4 on saves vs poison and +1 on saves from Celestial Companion make a difference? #beingthatguy :)

Of course they don't; someone actually thought I read his tagline? ;)
Sorry and disregard as I completely missed it. :(My GM career might be over before it really started...

Ha, better not be! You're doing great.

Since it's been too long for me to remember I want to make sure everyone is on the same page about continuing through the module.
If you have played a PC through this module previously you will have to choose an option:
1) Use a Replay. Every player received at least 2 free PFS1 Replays. No they aren't on your account; Paizo didn't want to edit the system to track them.
2) Use a different 1st level PC. Although you'd then have to play another 1st level PC in Part 3.
I don't think PFS rules allow me to be specific but there are 'benefits for continuity' for playing all three parts with the same PC.

This is an FYI that I'll be away in nature this coming weekend Sat. 2/1-Sun 2/2. I'll be unable to post during this time. I will return late Sunday and resume posting. Bot as needed, but I'm hoping that since it's the weekend disruption will be minimal.

I didn't think androids enjoyed nature!

I'll make note that the sacrifice to close the Abyssal portal will be Guardian XI. ;)

Per Redelia's request I have entered the link to the Gameplay thread for Part 2 'What Lurks in the Woods' on the Outpost VIII spreadsheet:

The link is in the Recruitment column - shouldn't it be in the Gameplay column?
Anyway, Vreekka signed in.

I think the general protocol is to add the info in the Recruitment section and then dot and delete in Gameplay.
Since it doesn't start for a month we have time to get it completed.

Chronicles! I would apologize for the appearance of them but they were automatically generated by RPG Chronicles so it's not my fault.
Let me know if the link doesn't work; I just checked the access settings for the 4,464,212th time and it claims to be 'Anyone with the link':

Got it. That wand is really nice for anyone dipping into paladin or maxing out UMD.

Chronicle looks good to me. Thanks for running!

FJC goal related questions.
Did we secure an alliance with a powerful political figure or a governing body?
If not, are any of the individuals we dealt with considered a 'named NPC ambassador, aristocrat, noble or similar figure'?

Excellent questions. Unfortunately I don't have an excellent answer. What I've been told by multiple GMs and VOs over the years is that unless the scenario specifically lists them as such, they don't count.
In particular this module was not initially authored to be part of PFS so there's no chance such text would've been included. If I could rule on it I would say 'yes' but apparently that's not in the GM's purview.

So be it and I don’t really disagree. I was hoping for something in a gray area in my favor but am not upset with the ruling.
We do get some very nice boons in this series, so even if my FJC stuff is slow going, it’s a good run. And it’s a good group and GM so that is also awesome.

Definitely a good group but I've heard through the grapevine the GM STINKS!

FYI: I've asked the VC for permission to begin Part 2 early. Not sure how that will be received but just a heads up that you might want to get started on leveling up now just in case we get the green light.

I would be quite surprised if that was allowed. Happily surprised of course.
Also, I already leveled cause I literally love doing it. I just need to copy and paste over the updated template.

Got the chronicle. Ty for running!

The answer is indeed no. So we begin 'What Lurks in the Woods' on March 2nd!

Thanks GM & fellow players--a really good crew and my favourite game of the past year.
And some cool Chronicle boons to boot!

If any of the PCs survive to use the Chronicles! Muahaha!
*gaspcoughwheezechoke*
I'm too old to do that. :(

GM Shadow Dragon |

As soon as Vreekka and Daegon post that they have their Chronicles, I'll make the campaign inactive.

GM Shadow Dragon |

got kronikal..will update this week...toy dont have to mark this as inactive..just keep it for the whole run...save the aggravation...
It's no aggravation. :) I've already set up a new Google Slides and this way the number of pages to look up information inside the thread is much smaller.

GM Shadow Dragon |

yeah...and i forgot you had a new one set up already...my IQ tends to drop on Mondays
I thought it dropped any day that ends with 'y'...
