Sorry everyone, it's been a crazy time.
We're taking in a friend who was about to literally be homeless. She makes over $20 an hour and she can't afford to live alone anywhere in town. This is not a major city. It's an 80,000 population area. But a high speed toll road was just completed to Toronto. And now rich a@!&&!$s who don't mind driving to work are starting to snap up property. Like many places, bidding wars are starting over rents.
Anyway, to make a long story slightly shorter, we're taking her in. When I say we, I mean my wife, myself, and our severely depressed housemate. It's a 3 bedroom. We are about to have 4 people, and a dog, living in this place. There is one bathroom.
I'm not saying this to vent, only to give everyone a sense of the upheaval that is going on. This place was crammed floor to ceiling already with the belongings of three grown adults. Our new tenant is putting most of her belongings in storage; however, she still needs at least one room.
We call this place "The Madhouse" and that's becoming truer all the time.
So bot me all you want right now, and I'll be here more often soon.

Anything else about your PC you would like the GM or the players know:
Galadad is a Necromancer of life. He's level 3. He has the Life subdomain so he can, in fact, do minor healing. He's Silver Crusade, and really, really good, but he looks evil. He has a 12 charisma so mechanically this doesn't give him a penalty, it's just an initial impression.

Did they eventually fix that rule that you don't threaten two squares diagonally? I'm going to assume Derf has a flank, on top of the fellow being blind. 5' step then...
Derf decides that weapon looks too ugly to deal with.
Finally, someone in this story arc uses a weapon...
Disarm:1d20 + 17 ⇒ (3) + 17 = 20
Nope, nope, not taking the risk. Odds are that beats his Flat footed CMD but I want to be bloody sure. Product reroll + 5 stars.
Disarm:1d20 + 17 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 17 + 5 = 38
That feels better.
Derf then throws the scythe as far back the way he came as possible. Move action, 10 STR
Derf grins slightly then shouts to the rest of the party.

"You know, if it weren't for being murderous cultists, I might listen to your political views."
He grins at the one in front of him.
@GM Can a small creature occupy the square to the south of Derf? If so, I will five foot step there for flank with Moo. Otherwise, I'll stay where I am.
Markus and Bobbie's chronicle sheets have been e-mailed.
If the rest of you could pm me a method of sending it, that would be great.
I want to thank everyone for putting up with my fumbling GMing on the forums. Truth be told, this was my very first time; I just didn't want to say that so I didn't scare everyone off.
I still think everyone should get a Roll20 account and learn the very basics; because I feel using it as a map board is far superior to the slide system.
I hope you all had fun.
I've decided to try running another one, also core. Scenario 2-13: Murder on the Throaty Mermaid. I'll have a recruitment post up soon, but if you would like to sign up in advance, you can reply here.

"It would seem, the Sacred Cobra is an illicit auction house for religious and historical relics, regularly moving to different locations to evade law enforcement. The Pure Legion has been attempting to identify the whereabouts of the Sacred Cobra auction house for some time, having conducted several unsuccessful raids on locations that are no longer in use. In a pinch, providing the Pure Legion with information about the Sacred Cobra's location might help garner favor with the local garrison."
He ponders.
"I'm not certain I like the idea. As much as I respect the law, these church police seem to think themselves above it."
Suddenly a revelation strikes him. "If one were inclined to kill the wealthy, auctioning off those killer statues would be a highly effective way to do it."
Menudo is going to investigate the statues. I can try with no help, you folks can focus on other elements.
Statues:
Gather Information on statues:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
My gut tells me this could be an important roll, so I'm going to use my folio reroll.

Monkey Boy succeeds on the Acrobatics check to move through the zombie's space, and lands all of the attacks. There is some DR at work here. Monkey Boy, I should just check that you have a way to flurry as a standard action.
Flying Kick, unchained monk ability, allows a move up to your fast move bonus before flurrying. Since I moved 15', that's half speed, and I didn't take the acrobatics penalty.

You should have 7 chronicle sheets then, unless you applied a chronicle sheet boon. That would make this one #8. If your GM doesn't fill that box in, it's best to fill it in yourself.

Fredreka moves forward, her tongue may be small, but it is purest silver...
"Your majesty, we are from the future. More than that would only confuse the issue. We are scholars and explorers and, I am sad to say, your home has fallen to evil. We seek to cleanse it. To do that, we seek to know what you can tell us of your last days here..."
I think if we whistle down the spectres, that would also help!
I know I'm being pedantic, but the expression is "whittle down". As in carve away from a piece of wood, thus making it smaller. Remember, knowledge is power!
Bekah heads to a lovely vacation spot, then reads the fine print in the brochure about some kind of shark infestation.
Fearing the worst, Bekah draws her Spyglass.
Unfortunately, the glint of the glass alerts a Earth Ossumental who spits acid at Bekah.

Who would like to try playing in real time with all players chatting over Discord or something else? Games are slower online so I'd expect up to 3 hours to play one. We would use the same Paizo forum system the PbP games play, just much, much faster.
Formerly a naive and happy-go-lucky follower of Sarenrae, Kaylani was lead astray by a fellow Pathfinder, a so-called "bard of Sarenrae". Schroder was in actuality a cleric of The Rough Beast, Rovagug, and through guile lead her on the path to corruption. However, before her fall was complete, providence found her and cut her free from the web of lies binding her. She has since atoned for her deeds during her dark time, and through the efforts of her constant companion Gracia, has had information on Schroder published in Absalom lest another adventurer fall under his influence. He has since gone into hiding, but Kaylani spends her downtime hunting him, hoping to end his life in retribution for his deeds.
