Hello! Welcome to my table. Before we start, please do the following:
Please complete the macros linked at the top of the page. This will be used for initiative and secret rolls.
Please also post your token to the slides and post your position in the marching order. The slides are also linked at the top of the page.
As per the Organized Play Foundation Community Standards, each player must decide if they will allow their characters to be damaged by friendly fire (usually via splash damage). In keeping with the “Explore, Report, Cooperate” motto of the Pathfinder Society, engaging in non-consensual character-versus-character conflict is prohibited. While accidental friendly fire happens due to missed attack rolls or other factors, players must obtain the consent of other players before deliberately including fellow PCs in damaging effects. This rule does not apply in situations where a character is not acting of their own free will, such as if they’re being mind-controlled by an NPC and forced to attack a fellow Pathfinder.
This applies to Scenarios only
You may select a consumable item from the Pathfinder Provisions list. These used to be the school items you get prior to starting an adventure. Quests and bounties do not receive provisions.

HIGH TIER LEVEL BUMPS
To provide low level players a more fun and fair experience, PCs whose level equals the adventure’s base level (such as a 3rd-level PC playing in a Level 3–6 scenario) gain a temporary boost when playing in the higher level range called a level bump to represent the higher-level PCs’ mentorship and support.
Increase every DC the PC has by 1.
Increase the attack modifiers, attack damage, spell damage, saving throw modifiers, skill modifiers, Perception modifiers, and AC of the PC by 1.
Increase the Hit Point totals of the PC by 10 or by 10%, whichever is higher.
These adjustments are less beneficial than gaining a level, yet they provide the PC more survivability and opportunity to contribute to the adventure experience, reducing the degree to which higher-level PCs might overshadow these less experienced Pathfinders.
You should also remind higher level PCs to apply any mentor boons they might have purchased.
Apply the relevant adjustments to the PC's animal companions, eidolons, and familiars as well. If a value is already increased by applying the adjustment to a PC (such as a familiar's save modifiers and AC), do not increase the value a second time.

Mia is okay with splash damage as long as she's not low already.
She also has the Envoys' Alliance mentor boon, and I have 3 glyphs, which I'll give to the Level 1s and 2.
Edit:
Mia's macros are up, and her picture is up.
Mia is fine anywhere in the marching order, so I didn't put her picture in the marching order. She can use her Elemental Blast in melee or at range, and she can use Ocean's Balm to heal.
She has low Perception for her level, but it's going to be high for the party, so I put her down for Searching, but she'd usually be Scouting if nobody else wants to.

Splash damage okay.
Shimmer will take a lesser healing potion as her provision.
I have two GM Glyphs.
Shimmer is a Protective Mentor. Any 1st-level PCs who choose her as a mentor gain an extra 3 HP from their level bump.
I've filled out the macro and will take a minor healing potion for Mitzi's provision. She's fine with friendly fire. I'm unable/not sure how to post my token to the slides though.
Just copy/paste it in. If you don't have other art for your character, your forum avatar works fine. If you select an image, you'll see some editing tools pop up right there on the Slides page, including a cropping tool if you want to cut a face out of a larger image.
If you want to be fancy, the dropdown next to the cropping tool that says "Mask Image" will cut your image into shapes (usually circles for PC tokens). The "border weight" (I always set it to 3) and "border color" buttons will let you give your token a colored outline to help it stand out from the background.

Thanks for your help--I figured out that I need to log into Google first. Mitzi's been added to the slides.

Lily is very much a 'mean girl.' I'm trying to keep it relatively tame but if anyone feels like I'm going too far please let me know and I'll dial it back.
For anyone familiar with my character Meadow, as a child she was frequently bullied by Lily with the Blonde Hair.

Scripio has Diverse Lore, which says to compare the result of Exploit Vulnerability with the DC of Recall Knowledge and act accordingly on a success or crit success. Interestingly, it doesn't do anything on a failure, so you don't get any negative effects.

Yes but the RK via Esoteric failed. It wasn't a CF so nothing happened. The PA of 3 was canceled out by the resistance.

Absolutely no worries. There's more than enough complex interactions and newer rules that it's easy to miss something, especially when you start diving into 'subordinate actions'.
Not to mention Paizo's imprecise language at times. For instance, Implement's Interruption says:
Requirements: You're holding your weapon implement and are benefiting from Exploit Vulnerability against a creature.
So does that means it doesn't work on a crit failure? Because you get no positive effect on a crit failure, though you do get a negative effect. Does 'benefit' always imply a positive effect? If a goblin likes it, is does that make it a benefit?
Not to mention there are lots of instances where an ability might provide a positive effect based on a negative one. Dubious Knowledge and Torch Goblin come to mind. I want to make an item that makes your teeth shiny when you crit fail Exploit Vulnerability just to bypass this wording.

Oh, so it does. Thank you for pointing that out.
I dunno if it ever would come up other then fighting oozes. Immune to precision and hard to miss, so Devising a Stratagem is useless and they're immune to her skills because they're mindless. But fatal becomes much more powerful, so just let 'em have it.
"I spend all of my actions attacking," is not normally how I play this character.

I just found it kinda weird that you were doing what appeared to be a quick draw machine gun... it's just kinda weird to see at lvl 4... at, say, a 7-10 or 9-12 it might be 'normal' though someone probably would have called you out on that by now :)
I also have gunslingers so I was curious as to how you were doing that because I want my gunslingers to do that too! :)
EDIT -- you can probably get away with it fighting Zombie shamblers since they have low enough AC but relatively decent HP that you don't blow 'em away with one shot! :)

Just a heads up -- the map for this scenario is a bit wonky. In the scenario PDF, the place you entered the maze doesn't exist (it's blocked off). But when the map is extracted (via ilovepdf or similar tools), there is a gap. I only realized it a bit too late. So moving forward, some of the events will be a bit weird and out of sync...

Hmm, was re-reading some of the Thaumaturge language. I intentionally left out the implements empowerment damage when Scripio was using the dagger, assuming he didn't get it either because it wasn't an implement or because it meant that both of his hands were full. But I think I was mistaken. His whip is an implement, so it can count as that, and the "single one-handed weapon" would have been the dagger.
So using a secondary weapon isn't nearly as much of a downgrade as I thought. In a way, he could almost dual wield with a secondary weapon and his whip, right? And still even get his Implement's Interruption with the whip as a reaction against the target of his EV.
Mostly thinking out loud here, but is this right?
Also realized the a canny way to play might be to trip with the whip, then get the reaction strike when they stand.
