Shoot sorry, I was not aware that we are waiting for me, So I know both players and I would love to play with both of them. They are both dependable and great people to be at the table. One is taking Orc another Dwarf which are both of my favorites ancestries ;) But I think Matt's PC fits into the party a bit more (CHA character), so if we go with composition of 5 I will go with Matt's PC and would strongly recommend Rainzax for table nr 2. IF we go with table of 6 I would take both :D
So far I was able to get a sketch of lvl 11 Monk with Cleric dedication, An orc, believer of Mahja Firehair I am not sure yet how to use cleric archetype, so I will ponder on that. So far I like the idea. For the skills since it is Dex build, I took Thievery to master (unless we have skill monkey covering it), + acrobatics on master. For other skills they are trained in Nature + Survival. I dibbed into Qi spells to get some survivabilty. Most likely they will fight with their hands and legs, no weapons nor bow.
I would like to participate: About the questions: Pale Dim wrote: 1. What is the ancestry and/or class of the character you plan to bring, and what can it mechanically contribute to the group? Well, out of 13 PC's that I have they group as: 6 dwarves, 2 gnomes, 2 orcs, 1 half-orc, 1 goblin, 1 ratfolk so I guess my type is either: something green or something clad in steel ;) I don't mind playing any of the roles, I think I never did make a cloister cleric so that could be the day to make one, alternative would be barbarian or monk. I like casters for versatility, but also plaid some tanks (althou mostly in some caster classes ;) so would be cool to make some classic frontliner) Palest of Dims wrote: 2.

I don't mind the above! Dale pim wrote: 4. Most importantly, are you willing to commit to playing with the same group for the long term, barring unexpected personal events that may prevent you from continuing? No issues whatsoever, I think the most interesting would be to find dynamics with the players. In any case I am open to participate
I will write here something, as I never pass on WaterySoup games ... I would love to play ... but. > Priority will be given to active PFS GMs who have run games in a lower level range (1-4, 3-6, 5-8), but are hesitant to run higher (5-8, 7-10, 9-12) I am hardly active GM ;) I run 1 AP that you are part of and it is 14 lvl + ;) I run high level games bot played EC till 20 and GM'ed my AP being the hihest level > games because they don't have a lot of experience playing PCs in that range. A lot not, but I think I have enough > One seat is reserved for cmlobue, who has expressed exactly this reluctance. I can do hell-of impressions of both cmlobue and PaleDim ;) All in all, THis sound great, but I don't want to create moral issue for Watery, so I will pass. If for whatever reason you will be short one person, just light a bat sign on the sky ;)

I signed up as 4th ;)
Hey Watery, thanks for having me here. I would like to play Animist lvl 3. I think that class would fit here as they are divine casters with a bit of flavor. When it comes to levels as long as it is above 2 I don't mind ;) Below casters have to few spells ;) And I don't want to be swinging a walking stick.
Hey EbonFist, I played that scenario long time ago (when it came out), and I have lvl 2 Champion riding a drake (which he can leave at home if there is no place to bring it). I would gladly play this scenario using a replay, if you allow. I would fill RPG Chroniles, and I will wipe it if you say no ;)
PaleDim wrote: If I'd like a character to Learn a Spell between sessions, should I make the rolls in gameplay in this lodge? Personally I would do it at the end of one scenario, or at the beggining of the next one and ask GM to put it on chronicle so that there is a paper trail ;)
Ok, I should be ready for monday, I am going with Bibliophile background, I think she was a human sio that is my choice (first human PC in PF2 ;))
For Skills I should be able to cover Thievery/Medicine + Intimidate but without any other face skills as I saw that we have them covered by others. I still haven't done the equipment or spell selection. So a bit of work for me
Kka wrote: Nothing in the discussion so far has changed my mind on this point, nor is it likely to do so given the degree of burnout I'm feeling about the AP. For a moment I was hoping to be that factor that would change your mind ;) But personally I understand the feeling of burnout with AP... And anyway, thank you all for kind words. Character ideas(I hide it in spoiler for now, but feel free to read it): So I was thinking about the NPC's the wolf guy I like as I am a sucker for werewolves ;) But I struggle to find motivation for him to join, and for the team to trust him ... So I turned towards Dorianna Menhemes being summoner (I wanted to build frontline summoner), I am not sure how much dmg it can dish out. I was thinking for the eidolon to be ... Aesephna Menhemes one of the original Roseguard members with a strong urge to wipe Belcorra => a bit gives her the motivation, makes her want to help. In a way makes sense as Dorianna is descendant of Aesephna. I would play Aesephna as vengful spirit obsessed by Belcorra, so that she does not share anything from 'before'. However I feel that GM would need to approve that as we are digging into the story here fairly strongly. Eidolon would be big, with opportune strike and as much boos that I can give it. Alternative if Kka would end up being killed he could be the eidolon, I would have to read Kka posts to get his personality + motivations, but it would be also a good reason for Dorianna to stick around and go deeper into Gauntlight
Hey y'all, since my name was mentioned at least three times I will pop up as Beetlejuice ;) So yeah, I was playing this AP till most of the end of book 2 when we stopped. I would like to finish the AP as I really liked it ;) I know, since we had exactly same conversation that recruiting someone for last book of 3 book AP is not easy, as either you get someone who does not care for the other part of the story, and it does not frequently feels right. Since I believe in creating the opportunities I decided to go on a limb and reach out in here, that maybe old Farol is the answer to some of the doubts and troubles. I don't mind playing any character, diving into an NPC would be an interesting experience that's for sure. Wolf guy could be a bit easier for me to jump into, Dorianna wouldn't be bad either (maybe as a summoner or as mentioned psychic, altho I know the class very briefly). From the comp I feel that the group can be beefier on the front side. The NCP could be held in one of the rooms + any one who would be tortured/held/incarcerated would have a good reason to look for revenge (enemy of my enemy make a good start for joining). Anyways, I don't want to impose myself, just present an option, I played few AP's on the boards and sticked till the end. My work turned a bit more messy, but as a result of that I tuned down the amount of tables that I play and GM at the same time to keep it under control. i like RP'ing and I like interactions with other players. I know Kwinten, who is an amazing GM (flatteries will get you everywhere), I know rainzax (who's PCs I really really enjoy, and I like playing with him), the same goes for Palandri (amazing player, highly engaged). I don't know Tarthrin nor Trscroggs but I would love to meet them and play with them (in the end a stranger is someone that you haven't met yet). All in all, if you would be interested in me joining, I would be honored, if you don't want that, no hard feelings...

Electricity and internet might go out, and there’s a risk of flooding, which could delay my updates and participation in the games I’m running and playing. I’ll check in when I can—thanks for your understanding! Take care of yourself and your family GM! All the best

I actually have lvl 4 Rogue that I could play it with, or if you prefer 2nd low tier table I have an idea for champion at lvl 1.

Watery Soup wrote:
Well, from my side, I would love to play 1-21/1-24/1-25 with my cleric who is one scenario away from lvling into 9th ;)
Yeah, what GM said ;) In PBP people will most likely do block initiative ;) In real time game, you would go creature by creature, resolving actions and all. Since PBP tends to be slower and wait time would drag the fight to days for one round, most have agreed to resolve initiative in blocks. You group all players that are next to each other into one block, and when their time comes they can post all at once. It creates some challenges and opportunities ;) [as many things in PBP]
AOO if any creature triggers:
Here comes attack roll Or a ooc block If any creature strikes Kahawa I will use Glimpse - give resistance 3 and enfeebled 2 on the creature for a round Overall I would recommend reading Gm Doug profile he has some good links and descriptions. Some of them are his preferences but it is a good starting point ;)

Overall it is fine to preview and adjust your post, if you meet the DC I like to describe what the spoiler has, tell it using your PCs way of speaking and all that. If you don't fill like it, or you don't have time, you can simply leave a note: Feel free to read the spoiler Some people don't do it and assume that it is the rule:
===================== With regards to loot, in society games loot represents effectively how much money we will get at the end of the scenario. The list of given items: crowbars, spears and healing potions would not persist beyond this session. So if you find use for them - cool, no one will fight you on it. The healing potion could be the most 'crucial' as if some of us will go into dying it may be relevant ;) Overall most players do not care about such loot, and there are some mechanics that are not clear. For example: Witch can learn a spell by letting her familiar to eat a scroll with a spell. And it does not cost money, so when you play with a Witch it is a good idea to snatch every scroll and let your familiar eat it as known spell would persist beyond a session. So there are those wierd cases.

I played all of the above, but I wouldn't hate to replay one of them. From the above, I really enjoyed 1-02 (I played it on outpust/gameday in a team of 2 players with 2 pregens ;)), 2-17 and 2-21. =================

Yeah, I want again try to GM something, and it was the last scenario of the metaplot that I did not play. So I decided to GM it instead.
Chronicle looks good, thanks Tiger! I was here from the beggining, the really early beggining ;) I think we played through the content that was planned ... and then some more. As much as I would not mind playing more, I have a feeling like I lost some energy. So I would be leaning towards calling it a day, but if others wish to continue I can change my mind.
