As the title. Can an Automaton character begin play speaking Jistka? “At the GM's discretion, if you still have memories from your time in Jistka, you might speak Jistka instead of Common.” 
Hey community,
But my question is this: Q) How many "items" (such as Zoudou's Notes) could function as a "library" for the subsystem?
Having a blast GMing this.
Hello!
Because sandbox. Anyway, Mo Douqiu has essentially been promoted to the BBEG for Book One de facto (I foreshadowed him immensely and then they promptly left town for days), and I have managed to generate great animosity against him from my players, in part because I wanted to end Summer with a big fight (promoting him to Level 5!) And now they ask: What does his name mean, if anything? Here are some of their guesses:
mo2 dou1 qiu4 = "Imitate All Autumn" mo4 dou2 qiu2 = "Drowned Pause Seek"
Having a blast running this adventure! =)
Hello Community,
If I am running a PFS Scenario, and then we have an "ambush" situation, can the monsters get a full round to act ahead of the party prior to everyone rolling initiative?
If the answer is "yes", what are the parameters of this leeway?
Thanks!
Hello Community,
If I am running a PFS Scenario, can I improvise upon the Tiers of Success mechanic (CF/F/S/CS) to create fun story moments where the outcome of Strikes or others die rolls result in incursion of minor damage or temporary status conditions? Like falling prone if you roll a "1" to melee strike?
If the answer is "yes", what are the parameters of this leeway?
Thanks!
Community,
Does the +50% increase to HP bust the Reinforcing cap? Cheers.
Society #:
You receive a Parcel in your Box:
Pathfinders, I do hope you’ll join us at the Grand Lodge for the celebration to congratulate the most recent group of initiates. I have to say, I’m proud of how far you’ve come since you were an initiate, and I look forward to seeing you support the next generation of Pathfinders. Besides that,gatherings like this are an excellent opportunity to rub elbows with the Society’s leadership and get to know them. That means you’ll always be quick to know about the best opportunities as soon as they arise. I hope you’ll take advantage of the event to put your best foot forward. I’m looking forward to seeing you there! -Janira Gavix, Pathfinder Society Head Initiate
The day arrives and you make your way to Absalom for the event. It seems as though the entire Grand Lodge has the air of a celebration. The great gates are flung wide, and the phoenix trees lining the entryway are in full flame. The halls of the main tower of Skyreach, normally somber and reserved, echo with the sound of voices and music. The great ballroom is decked for a celebration, with colorful banners and bunting along the walls, tables replete with food and drink, and a jovial cacophony of conversation rising from Pathfinders of all ancestries, nations, and backgrounds. After a quick scan of the room, it’s obvious that many of the attendees have gathered in small groups here and there. A half-orc woman in an iconic ship captain’s hat stands near the punch bowl, handing cups to anyone who passes within reach, and a dark-skinned half-elf leads a small group of new agents around the room, introducing them to other attendees. Several senior agents stand in quiet conferral with a dark-haired Taldan man with a distinctive chin strap beard, while a scholarly dwarf tells a rousing tale to a growing audience. A familiar blond halfling woman bounces over, bubbling with excitement. Janira Gavix, Head Initiate of the Pathfinder Society, grins, “Oh, I’m so glad you made it! After all, the celebration is for you. Have you gotten drinks? Snacks? Be sure to spend some time getting to know everyone—it’s best to be on good terms with the movers and shakers in the Society, that’s how you learn about the latest opportunities. I’ll be here if you need me to help you with anyone’s names or to make an introduction. Just let me know how I can help!” Janira gestures everyone forward into the room, beaming all the while.
Hello! There are a couple more weeks of the Battlecry! Playtest for the (new) Commander and Guardian classes. I will be recruiting for a round two run of the season one repeatable (#1-01) "The Absalom Initiation" with 4-5 total players. This is not a FCFS game (I tend to recruit from those that have GMed for me as well as players I have enjoyed playing alongside), and will be run as a bit of a "speed run" to focus on the mechanics of the classes during skill challenges and in encounter mode. As I'd like to run the playtest material alongside other classes, I'm going to shoot for: ☆) One Commander
Who's Interested?
As title. Let's say I choose a weapon to be my banner. If I use an Interact action to Stow it (so that it is now Worn), does it count as being visible to my allies? As long as your banner is visible (such as by being af xed to your weapon or worn attached to a pole alongside your backpack) What if my banner is a polearm? Does the answer change? =)
Goblin patriarch, merchant, and Pathfinder Society ally Yigrig Moneymaker needs help! The cunning goblin merchant has big plans to build a bridge that will connect two promising trade partners, but something is stirring up the local wildlife and convincing the lions and other predators of the Katapeshi plains that goblins are more tasty than can possibly be true. The Troupe must find out who's responsible for the trials Yigrig's family faces before the lions of Katapesh devour the entire goblin clan and end the chance for trade between two desert cities. To Do:
One commander.

When you get a moment, please supply the above info!
On the top deck of the Kingfisher floating a week or so somewhere upon the Steaming Sea, Venture-Captain Muesello wipes the grease off his hands onto a rag. The pockmarked mechanist spent the early morning running a chain through a twelve-foot tall clockwork contraption mounted on the deck. Stuffing the dirty rag into his smock, he turns to address the group "Welcome! Thank you for boarding with us swiftly, and sorry I spent the better portion of the trip in my cabin, but, I have an important discovery!..."
Hello!
Looking for a list of easiest / fastest bounties to run in the Level One range to get this concept up and at ‘em!
Hello community.
Spoiler:
Cast [reaction] ; Trigger A creature within 30 feet casts an arcane spell You gather the embers of another caster's spell, using your understanding of unified magic to pick apart their formulas and incantations well enough to imitate the spell yourself, if only for a short time. Until the end of your next turn, you can Cast the triggering Spell by expending a wizard spell slot of the same rank. That caster's spells can't trigger your interdisciplinary incantation again for 24 hours. Q) Do you get to know what the spell does?
Asking for a friend! =)
Hello! If the non-repeatable quest I signed up to run doesn't fire, this is a secondary recruitment for (#Q-09) "Wayfinder Origins"! Players chosen shortly after Outpost starts.
As title. What is the fate of Disturbing Knowledge which originally appeared in the Advanced Player's Guide but did not make the cut for the Remaster (it's not in Player Core). Same question for similar skill feats. Cheers!
The squire of a long-dead knight asks for the help of heroes in investigating the site of their master’s death. A bleak island awaits the heroes, now inhabited by the dead and undead alike. It’s up to the PCs to retrieve mementos of lost knights and lay to rest any lingering spirits on the island.

Hello! I am looking for two suggestions. The gods Daikitsu and Fumeiyoshi. What more “mainstream” gods have the most similar profiles? Asking because I am looking to replicate Boons / Curses for gods that have not yet been given that level of attention for a PF2 game. Cheers!
House Rules
Houserules:
Tracking discovered loot, purchases, and sell-backs is always a challange in tabletop RPGs, so, I am houseruling to “abstract” it in a similar way to how PFS handles character wealth. Instead of tracking individual coins and treasure, each time there is Character Advancement (Level 12, 13, 14…), characters will be instructed to “soft rebuild” their Wealth according to Table 10-10 with the following Guidelines: Best Fit
Downtime Wealth
Discovered Loot
Loot that is Incorporated in this way will recieve a 10% discount from it’s market value, to openly incentivize PCs to use what they find during the Adventure for the Adventure.
-Common character options only.
This (LINK) is my change. In a word, I have removed the “disinformation” result from Initial attempts to identify an unknown creature / combatant, only re-introducing that type of result on Retries, as well as explicitly allowing Retries after “failure” results. This means that Initial checks to Recall Knowledge can be rolled by you, the player, openly, and that I will only activate the Secret trait on Retry attempts to Recall Knowledge against the same subject! One Caveat: Retries will be allowed whereupon a creature / combatant exhibits a new ability or behavior (action, reaction, spell, strategy, etc), and a character wanting to attempt a Retry must explicitly name the new ability or behavior as a signal to the GM to conduct the Secret check.

PbP Player / GM Expectations
0) Have Fun
0:
Have Fun This is Play by Post! Seize the medium: Write descriptive posts with fun language, read your fellow players' posts and respond to them, juxtapose "Outer Words" vs "Inner Thoughts", indulge the Writer inside yourself. If it's not Fun, it's not worth doing!
1:
Post Daily Be committed for the long haul to post on a daily basis, which includes weekends, to keep the pace of the game fun and progressing. Obviously life happens, so off-days here or there are not a big deal. But checking in once or twice a week will not cut it. If you will be absent for an extended period, give the party advance notice and arrange someone to Bot for you.
2:
Do the Math Complete posts - especially during Encounter Mode - help the game flow smoother and make it easier for the GM to keep things organized for you in the Tracker. Please do not just throw dice at the post. Analyze the results of your dice to determine the Final Outcome, and communicate it back using Game Terms (X Damage, Y Healing, etc).
3:
Check the Tracker I try to keep a summary of all the moving bits through different Modes of Play (ex. Encounter Mode) in Trackers under spoilers. Take the time to use these Trackers to update yourself on relevant game information before making your posts - they are meant to keep you informed as towards making better strategic decisions as well as more descriptive posts. Notice that something like a monster's AC may be unknown during round one, but suddenly be detailed during round three, to represent your character's ongoing analysis of the situation. If you see I missed something in the Tracker, raise the correction immediately in Discussion, and I will tend to it during my next pass!
4:
Share Ability Links / Text Include Links and/or Direct Text in your posts - especially for unusual abilities or one that do not come up that often. Basic Actions like Step, Stride and Strike, or reactions like Attack of Opportunity and Shield Block are excluded from this request - these are so common that they needn't really be actively adjudicated. As character abilities become more familiar to the GM and party, this requirement can be relaxed, as we will have "learned" the necessary interactions. But when in doubt, or if you anticipate a questionable interaction, post it! And allow the GM to make an informed adjudication.
5:
Utilize Action Symbols (◆◇↺) Clearly Communicate Game Terms during Encounter Mode using these symbols. I will keep them posted in my GM Alias as well as in the Campaign Tabs for you to copy/paste. Doing so helps the GM to adjudicate the Encounter by anchoring visual cues within the post, helping to summarize your Turn supported by the descriptive text of the narrative. For reactions (↺), be sure to include some conditional language for it's trigger - especially if you have more than one. If your reaction involves a die roll (ex. Attack of Opportunity), please spoiler the roll, so on GM's turn, if he "trips" your trigger, he can open that spoiler and resolve it.
6:
Organize your Dice Expressions Sometimes we lose track of the little "+1"s that come and go, which at critical junctures can be the difference between success and failure. So, it is important to track them. Specifically, for Circumstance or Status bonuses and other miscellaneous modifiers, please include clear indication in your dice expressions ex. "{dice=Attack with Inspire Courage (+1/+1) vs Monster}1d20+15+1; 2d8+4+1{/dice}" instead of "{dice=Attack}1d20+16; 2d8+5{/dice}" If a DC you are rolling against is known, consider putting it directly into the expression ex. “{dice=Recall Knowledge w/ Arcana vs DC 15}1d20+7{/dice}”. This helps me to adjudicate it immediately without having to scroll. Relatedly, to minimize confusion and shenanigans, Roll Dice in the correct Order of Operations. For example, if on a monster's turn you are prompted to make a Saving Throw, resolve it first thing in your next post, then post your 3 Actions + 1 Reaction, then conduct any End of Turn effects, etc.
7:
Manage your Token on the Map You are responsible for moving your Token around on the Map or Maps, and will need to develop a reliable way to interface with Google Slides consistently. Sometimes, but not all the time, the exact path taken by your character may matter (Hazards, Monster Reactions, etc), and if you anticipate so, please indicate your square-by-square trajectory with clarity.
8:
Use Discussion for Discussion Let's keep Gameplay in Gameplay, and Discussion in Discussion, and I will respond to queries accordingly. A note here about Gameplay to Discussion ratio. I've had to ask players who have disruptively used Discussion to question everything that happens in Gameplay to step down before. It's worth mentioning as this can be a pattern with some folks. While I encourage asking questions in Discussion - especially new players! - please be mindful of utilizing the shared space; it is a place to seek common understanding, not to be needlessly combative.
9:
Participate in the Bot Tree Pledge to Bot the characters immediately preceding and following (and wrapping around) your character's alphabetical name in the event of a 24-hour space elapsing when they have been "up" - As a GM I will not Bot characters, so it is up to the party as a team to support eachother in this regard.

The Season of Ghosts Adventure Path is named for a traditional period in Shenmen that takes place during the first few weeks of summer, when the woodlands see an increase in hauntings, spirits, and undead. While the cause of this increased haunting is uncertain, these ghosts often lure people to their deaths. In Willowshore, a massive feast and festival takes place on the last day of spring. Called the “Reenactment Festival,” this gala is meant not only to celebrate the end of spring, but to trick the evil spirits and ghosts believed to come out of the woods during the first few weeks of summer. As the festival’s feast concludes, the town reenacts victims being snatched away by “ghosts” (played by townsfolk in paper masks). Those not involved in the faux abduction pretend to plunge into collective panic as designated wailers mourn loudly while others play out a search and rescue effort. This farce is believed to trick real ghosts into thinking that someone has already haunted the settlement, and thus trick them into seeking a happier village to inflict misery upon once the season of ghosts begins the next day on the first day of summer. As fate would have it, the PCs are chosen this year to play the role of the town’s abductees—reasons for their abduction are built in to the various Season of Ghosts backgrounds, so if you don’t use one of these backgrounds for your character, work with the GM to create a reason similar to those presented there to explain why you’re among the festival’s abductees. Once you’re “abducted” from the feast, your captors roll you up in straw mats and then carry you off into a forest clearing on the town’s outskirts, where you’re expected to stay overnight. With the first dawn of summer, the “abductees” are ransomed by whoever is in charge of that year’s Reenactment Festival. This year, that honor falls to one Choe Chun‑hu, beloved leader of Willowshore’s millers. He has promised to bring the “ransom” (a selection of delicious breakfast delicacies) to the PCs in the forest clearing the next morning for them to enjoy before leading them back to town to proclaim the Reenactment Festival a grand success. While it often rains during the summer, you luck out and spend a relatively comfortable night out under the stars. Of course, staying overnight in any woodland carries some risk, and you all have plenty of time to prepare. You can bring all your starting items and gear, as determined during character creation, to have with you during your abduction—items not brought will be waiting for you back at home. The Season of Ghosts Adventure Path begins when you and the other PCs awaken in a forest clearing on the first day of summer... but there’s no sign of Choe Chun-hu and the breakfast he promised!

“I fear that misfortune may have struck some of your fellow agents. I hope that you can help them return here to safety, but I fear the task I have to request of you may instead center around recovering what you can from your fallen allies and, if it is safe to do so, completing the mission in their stead.” “Last year, I received a donation of relics from Taldor. The route is lengthy and complicated, so I will spare you unnecessary details. A caravan carrying the relics safely arrived in Hongal to the north, where it met up with a pair of Pathfinder agents, Lin Po and Ti Lan. These agents inspected the cargo, sent me a missive indicating that all was in order, and joined a second caravan to take the Spirit Road through the Forest of Spirits. The journey is understandably long, taking over two months to complete. Still, the caravan is late, and I fear that they may have run into trouble along the way. They were supposed to reach Sakakabe two weeks ago." “While it’s possible that they were waylaid in the northernmost parts of Minkai, I believe it’s far more likely that they ran into trouble in the Forest of Spirits, a mystical place that shelters departed souls and most of the world’s kami. Kami are spiritual guardians with a deep connection to certain living locations or living things. The locals pay great respect to the kami, never intruding further into the forest than their one coastal road, the Spirit Road, and a number of small settlements built around shrines. This should make tracking the caravan simple, since there’s only a single road along which they should have had to rest or resupply at some point. I need you to check each of the roadside settlements until you find the last one to have seen the caravan, then track it from there and figure out what happened.” “Be sure to respect the kami and the local traditions honoring them; I don’t want you to come to harm in your journey. The kami are mostly benevolent, so long as they receive the proper respect, but there are some dangers that might have harried the caravan. Bandits, hobgoblins, and giants, among other creatures, dwell within the forest. The forest also hosts some aggressive plants and animals, not to mention malign spirits such as the oni, the sworn enemies of the kami.

Hello! I am looking for a lean team of 3-5 daily posters to "speedrun" the PFS scenario #1-06 "Lost on Spirit Road"! ☆) One Animist
This is not FCFS, but I will choose the team from among applicants in the next couple days. If you plan to play a playtest class, please be prepared to always post exact text for Playtest material your character is using. Slight priority towards those who have GMed for me and/or folks I have had a good time playing PFS alongside. Apply with the character you would like to play below, with all relevant statistics housed within the applying Alias. Cheers!
What if each Apparition, in addition to granting spells, also granted a different benefit to each sub-class? As an example. Channeler could get a resistance based off one energy type, in addition to everything it already receives. Sage could get proficiency in a single weapon group, in addition to everything is already receives. Something to telegraph their intended purpose (before 9th level) mechanically? A third subclass could one day get training in a skill, etc...
On the edge of the land known as Numeria, the Pathfinder Society has operated in secret under threat of death from the region's ruler, the cruel Black Sovereign. Venture-Captain Dagur Hawksight hopes that a meeting with the recently-sober monarch will allow the Pathfinder Society to operate openly and study the alien technology contained within Numeria's borders, but other forces have their own plans for the region. The PCs must ensure that the meeting between Dagur and the Black Sovereign goes off without a hitch, thwarting acts of treachery and sabotage.

As title. Doubling Rings + Armory Bracelet Doubling Rings:
This item consists of two magically linked rings: an intricate, gleaming golden ring with a square-cut ruby, and a thick, plain iron ring. When you wield a melee weapon in the hand wearing the golden ring, the weapon’s fundamental runes are replicated onto any melee weapon you wield in the hand wearing the iron ring. (The fundamental runes are weapon potency and striking, which add an item bonus to attack rolls and extra weapon damage dice, respectively.) Any fundamental runes on the weapon in the hand wearing the iron ring are suppressed. The replication functions only if you wear both rings, and it ends as soon as you cease wielding a melee weapon in one of your hands. Consequently, the benefit doesn’t apply to thrown attacks or if you’re holding a weapon but not wielding it (such as holding in one hand a weapon that requires two hands to wield).
Armory Bracelet:
Several small charms shaped like weapons hang from an armory bracelet, which is often brass. The bracelet has one charm each for the groups bow, brawling, club, dart, flail, hammer, knife, pick, polearm, shield, sling, spear, and sword. Rare versions of the armory bracelet include charms for firearms. Activate [two-actions] envision, Interact Frequency once per day; Effect You pull one charm from the bracelet. The charm transforms into a weapon of your choice from the charm's weapon group. If the weapon requires ammunition, it appears with a quiver or pouch with 20 pieces of ammunition for the weapon. The weapon is a +1 striking weapon of the type you chose. After 1 minute, the weapon transforms into a non-magical version and remains until your next daily preparations. At that point, the weapon and any remaining ammunition crumble to dust and all the charms reappear on the bracelet. The weapon and ammunition created with the charm are noticeably different from others and can't be sold.
Q) Does Armory Bracelet create "runes" when it imbues a created temporary weapon with "+1 striking" (or better)?
Cheers
Hello! Over the next two months, I would like to begin recruiting for the Season of Ghosts adventure path to be run in "campaign mode" (PFS credit) with four 1st-level characters using the Ancestry Paragon variant rule, a simple "boon" system for governing rarity (to start: up to 2x uncommon or 1x rare character option), as well as a PFS-like "abstracted" system for tracking Wealth (based upon Table 10-10 in CRB; check out this DM Alias) and Downtime (I love Downtime and will grant it liberally when possible). We will fully embrace the Remaster as it unfolds too! Full disclosure: I have attempted twice to run a full-length AP on these boards, both ending in different kinds of failure. My attempt at "Fists of the Ruby Phoenix" was mostly foiled by my inexperience running at high level play (starting at 11th level), and my attempt at "Agents of Edgewatch" was confounded by my inability to connect with the themes in a way that kept my interest. And so, I humbly submit my application to GM this AP knowing my track record for such a commitment is less-than-stellar. That all said, I am interested primarily in recruiting people who I have either GMed for, played under, or played alongside in the PFS games that have been held here, rather than folks that are more unknown quantities per se. If we have had a good time in a game together (especially if you have GMed for me!), you know who you are, please consider applying here. Also, check out my DM Alias to see what expectations I will hold at the tables I run - these are important to me and I don't want them to come as a surprise! So, to summarize: ☑ Ancestry Paragon (bonus Ancestry Feat to start)
Questions!? Who's in?!
As title. Weapon Siphon:
Usage: attached to a melee weapon Activate: Interact This set of tubing snakes down the striking surface of a weapon to deliver alchemical explosives. A single lesser alchemical bomb can be fitted to the weapon siphon as an Interact action. The bomb must be one that deals energy damage, such as an acid flask, alchemist's fire, bottled lightning, frost vial, or thunderstone. The next three attacks made with the weapon deal 1d4 damage of the bomb's damage type in addition to the weapon's normal damage. If the second and third attacks aren't all made within 1 minute of the first attack, the bomb's energy is wasted. These attacks never deal splash damage or other special effects of the bomb and aren't modified by any abilities that add to or modify a bomb's effect. Adding a weapon siphon to a weapon throws off its balance, causing the multiple attack penalty with the weapon to be one greater than usual (usually –6 on a second attack and –11 on a third; or –5 and –10 with an agile weapon).
Q) Can you pre-load it (say, during Daily Preparations)?
Cheers. =)
As title. Looking to run (#1-15) "The Blooming Catastrophe" in the coming weeks. Is there a good full length 1st-4th Scenario to do either before or after? Looking for a "two-logy" of some sort even in an unofficial capacity.
I have fun playing my swashbuckler, but i noticed i leaned a little hard into the absurd "Don Quixote" concept to justify how the mechanics and narrative intersect. So what about this change for Panache, to give it a little more reliability without taking away the risk/reward concept: Panache:
You care as much about the way you accomplish something as whether you actually accomplish it in the first place. When you perform an action with particular bravado, you can leverage this moment of verve to perform spectacular, deadly maneuvers. This state of flair is called panache, and you are either in a state of panache or you are not. You gain panache by While you have panache, you gain a +5-foot status bonus to your Speeds and gain a +1 circumstance bonus to checks to Tumble Through or to take any actions that give you panache due to your style. The precise strike class feature also causes you to deal extra precision damage while you have panache. Powerful finisher actions, including Confident Finisher can be used only Normally, you gain and use panache only in combat encounters; when an encounter ends, you lose panache.
Welcome! Go ahead and get started with the Opening Tasks for this scenario. Opening Tasks:
You arrive at one of Skyreach Tower’s convocation halls for the festivities. It seems as though the entire Grand Lodge has the air of a celebration. The great gates are flung wide, and the phoenix trees lining the entryway are in full flame. The halls of the main tower of Skyreach, normally somber and reserved, echo with the sound of voices and music. The great ballroom is decked for a celebration, with colorful banners and bunting along the walls, tables replete with food and drink, and a jovial cacophony of conversation rising from Pathfinders of all ancestries, nations, and backgrounds. After a quick scan of the room, it’s obvious that many of the attendees have gathered in small groups here and there. A half-orc woman in an iconic ship captain’s hat stands near the punch bowl, handing cups to anyone who passes within reach, and a dark-skinned half-elf leads a small group of new agents around the room, introducing them to other attendees. Several senior agents stand in quiet conferral with a dark-haired Taldan man with a distinctive chin strap beard, while a scholarly dwarf tells a rousing tale to a growing audience.
As the title. Currently GMing a game and wondering if the Sprite player riding their Corgi can Command it to Stride twice for 50 feet of movement and still have two actions left to use for other things. This seems really good (especially considering the ancestry's low base speed), so it raised a flag for me. Command an Animal:
Most animals know the Drop Prone, Leap, Seek, Stand, Stride, and Strike basic actions. If an animal knows an activity, such as a horse's Gallop, you can Command the Animal to perform the activity, but you must spend as many actions on Command an Animal as the activity's number of actions. You can also spend multiple actions to Command the Animal to perform that number of basic actions on its next turn; for instance, you could spend 3 actions to Command an Animal to Stride three times or to Stride twice and then Strike. Am I wrong to suspect that 50 feet of movement for a single action seems... less balanced compared to nearly every other character option? Help! Cheers.
As title. Spellstrike @ “Make a melee Strike with a weapon or unarmed attack” Say, a leshies seed pod or a sprite’s spit. Do I get my once per combat ranged booom? Cheers.
Bounty GMs! Go ahead and "dot it" and we'll get started when we are fully mustered and organized. Cheers!
Bounty GMs! As the "owner" of the Campaign, let me know what you need to get started, and I will format it on my end. Going to go ahead and get Whitefang Wyrm set up, and that GM can get us going when they are ready. Perhaps we can discuss what character we want to bring? And/or, as we have some new GMs, fielding any questions for them? Cheers. |
