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.

Thanks for running, GM!
I shouldn't have any friendly fire to declare. I do have +1 bonuses to attack rolls at all times due to Victor's Wreath (which is magical if anyone is superstitious like that).
I will take a free minor healing potion, which I put into my Horn of Plenty so I can drink it and heal myself and others for 1 action.
Also there does seem to be something wrong with my init in the macros.

Huh. Nhorri's Initiative bonus is also one higher than it should be.

Here's hoping things get easier for all of you soon!

It's accurate RP for Nhorri, though. I don't know how she got through training. ;p
Can different players get different information from the same NPC with the same skill that somebody else used successfully? If not, Landon has made all the checks he has a decent chance to pass already.

Nope. The Research System for PF2e is based on the number of successes you get. It's not like an open-ended RK where, say, against a party of gnolls, Nature and Society will give two different things (at least, they're supposed to!) :)
Normally I would ask you to vote for 2 players who you think deserve a hero point. Since you all did so well with the research, I'll award those who have used up their hero points with one. (mainly because you're probably going to need it in the next section!).

Pro: It took less time overall in PbP, so we didn't lose momentum.
Con: That was one rather long post, and it took a much longer time to complete it. Long posts with lots going on leave more room for people to miss/forget things.
It's a balance. I think that most of the time, the one long post is preferable in PbP, because loss of momentum can kill a game, while missed items can usually be handled with only reasonable delays.
So where do you suggest I break the post? Looking at it, I think I should have split it right where the skill check part (aka the chase) started... I would love to hear your feedback because this scenario can get rather clunky with the research section. I had to run this for Paizocon which has a hard deadline. It somewhat succeeded but then I only ended up with 4 players -- I needed to test it on a full table! :)

GM:
I would have limited the skill check prompts to three or four at a time. That still moves things along, but reduces the likelihood of things being forgotten in a marathon post. For those that needed to be convinced to talk to us, having a nested spoiler for the additional information would be more efficient, though Paizo's formatting for nested spoilers makes that appear clunky.
Including the status updates in your posts is very helpful. Bonus if it includes the additional information some of the targets shared with us.
I agree that splitting up this post at the spot where the plot exposition ends and the intro to the Chase subsystem begins would've made sense. Essentially, there are two vastly different things happening in that one big post, so it's like needing to start a new paragraph when you change the subject.
Hope this helps! This seems like a bear of a scenario to run in PbP, and it's clear that you spent some time setting up the skill checks in advance. Thumbs up!

Also I just read the July Org Play update. Congrats to Dendri for her 5th star for PF1! :)
Awesome! :-D
What does that mean?
Similar to getting 5 glyphs for 2e. It's at least 650 hours to get to 5 stars (1e), glyphs (2e), novas (SFS) so those who reach that milestone get personally mentioned in the monthly newsletter.
