Any GM Glyphs?
Or anything in particular I need to know about your character?
How do you feel about taking friendly fire?
This is a Outpost game, so you should be signed up on the spreadsheet before you come here. That also means we have a scheduled start date of March 2nd.

A couple of things to note about Oskar:
* He has the Battle Cry feat, granting a free Demoralization attempt against an observed foe when he rolls initiative. He uses Performance to Demoralize so this will be +20 (or +21 if he has Musical Accompaniment active - he'll keep Musical Accompaniment going all the time unless we are trying to be stealthy or avoid notice). For ease of use in the PbP format, GM please feel free to select the target of Oskar's Demoralize attempt if you wish. He'll prioritize foes within 30' (because of his Dread armor rune) and avoid foes that seem obviously mindless or otherwise likely to be immune to fear; all other things being equal he'll attempt to Demoralize more threatening seeming foes first.
* He has a Dread armor rune (purchased with an ACP boon). "Frightened enemies within 30 feet that can see you must attempt a DC 20 Will save at the end of their turn; on a failure, the value of their frightened condition doesn’t decrease below 1 that turn."
* Oskar will spend 1 focus point as a free action whenever an ally within 30' attempts to Recall Knowledge, letting them roll twice and take the better result. (Loremaster's Etude).
* If anyone has a Level Bump for this scenario, Oskar can offer the Rugged Mentor boon.
* In combat Oskar has a few Reaction spells that might come up: Lose the Path (trigger: a foe within 60' Strides); Overselling Flourish (trigger: a foe within 60' damages Oskar); Wooden Double (trigger: Oskar is critically hit; can be cast using either a 3rd or 4th rank slot).
* At the start of combat, especially if the foes are far away, Oskar can cast Loose Time's Arrow, giving everyone in the party a free Stride action for one round. It may be worth waiting in the initiative order for Oskar's turn to come up for him to cast this to get the martials quickly up to the front.
* Oskar has Bardic Lore, letting him attempt to Recall Knowledge about any subject. Out of combat, if we need to figure something out it may be worth having Oskar cast Share Lore (1 minute casting time) on up to 3 friends, also making them trained in Bardic Lore for 10 minutes. Since we've got at least two Int-based characters in the party this might be very useful.
* Oskar is quite squishy and has no particularly useful melee options so he'll do his best to stay behind his comrades.
I think that's all of Oskar's shenanigans. Most of the time he'll start combat with Courageous Anthem & Lingering Composition, which will give everyone +1 to attacks & dmg. Please make a note of it when you post your attacks so I don't have to bother posting "did you remember to include your +1/+1 from Courageous Anthem?" :-)
Hope we all have fun!

With Argoni, Zhamie, and BakBat all potentially doing some friendly fire, that could be rough. Argoni has a Backfire Mantle to loan out if anyone wants it. Dennis, perhaps?

"Gee! Thanks Mister. I like new toys!"
Dennis would love to take the mantle for a spin, if no one else claims it. Never knew about this. Might have to buy one of those after this mission.

Oskar -- Haha, it's always a struggle with the Bard's CA. Sadly, everyone forgets. Since I play bards too, hopefully Dennis will never forget!
Zhamie -- Your latest attack is vs the bear or the mirror? Just checking.
I guess I should have attempted it nonlethal -- But since Misha hadn't taken any damage I didn't think one shot would kill it unless I critted for max damage... but at the 5-8 level it's kinda hard to do that.
And Dennis asking "why I tried to hurt Teddy" is hilarious... I can hear it in my head with that voice of his. Like you told me once, it's both wholesome and annoying at the same time! :)
