Ptehp takes a step to the side, facing the blue rower and slashes his whip at the masked one in red, thinking that the embalming practises of the Ulfen are not that good.
The camel bone is still hovering above head.

Ptehp unfurls his whip somewhat, and lashes out at the brown clad rager--
Whip:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 281d8 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
--before clomping off towards the stairs.

Emboldened by the fact he feels the tide has turned, Ptehp calls out: "Praise Selket the Gentle!", and, after taking a step to the side, brings his whip down on the enemy--
aiming for Grey if still up, otherwise Brown. If Grey still up, Ptehp takes a step to Flank w. Kitajo (who, I think, did not move his mini', so I put my choices of moves .w arrows) Whip:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 121d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14+2 to Hit if Flanking

Ptehp feels the light of the lantern dance across his face, amidst the shiny glitter: "If Ptehp cold, Ptehp go stand in sunlight. Then Ptehp no cold."
He takes a step to move a little closer to the main enemy, and lashes out at Red again.

Ptehp's eyebrow raises as he feels seven blades flash around him: Selket, thank you for protecting me! he thinks... well, prays!
That +1 AC sure helped!
Ptehp takes a step to the side, under the skylight, between the red and orange garbed ulfen.
Doing so he calls upon Selket's Fervor: "Smile upon Ptehp, Mistress of the Beautiful House!", and he flings a camel thigh bone up above his head as he steps to the side.
The bone animates with necromantic energy and starts floating around Ptehp, ready to interpose itself against the attacks of the enemy and their spiritual weapon.
Ptehp lashes out at the Red ulfen: "Ptehp is the scorpion! Ptehp has strong shell... and a stinger!"

Ptehp glares at Tyros: "Me keep them from dying with good magic from Selket. You pray to Selket? I do. She be goddess of healing. Selket also be sweet goddess of embalming."
Ptehp looks at the tapestry: "Door there?"
He goes up to the tapestry and tries to push through it, where he feels the door might be.

Ptehp nods to Skelg: "We will go seek lantern, master Skelg."
Then he stomps over to Tyros, showing his metal shod feet: "Dat be Jackboot? Dat not be nice word Ptehp thinks. So tell Ptehp why you talk bad to your master? Why you not respect people who come to help? And why you let fake guards outside to stop help from coming in? Ptehp not know if you lie or not, but Ptethp's friends will tell. And if they say you lie Ptehp will whip you like a dog."

Sorry to answer late - was reading all, but have been spending a lot of time in trains and a lot of work etc.
Recon the location. and make little signs to tell people where to go when they get there if that is needed (if it is a shop that's fine, but we are often in a building, where you go in the door and one floor down, and thought it's in all the flyers and info' I send out, people do not read things so you get calls non stop: where are you? - thus now a bunch of red arrows!
If it's small, you might not need someone full-time at a HQ position.
For our small Con' we found out that we normally need one person to man the HQ position in the morning of the first day, but that after that it is pretty much okay to not have anyone not playing.
We organize it so that one person (like VO's) who is playing a slot is the on call person to go solve a problem (and tell the DM that that person might leave for a bit now and then ; and thus choose that you are playing non critical games, not Bonekeep or such). For us it works fine like that.
The other thing we do, is there is one person (often a VO) who is a replacement DM for every slot (you never know if a DM might have a problem and not show up). Either prepping the game to be played (if multi table special) or just having a prepped game ready to sub' for whatever was going to be played.
We never have used it yet, but nearly did once (the DM showed up 30 minutes after start time, so the sub' DM was getting ready).
* Assign a variety of tiers, with something set aside for quests, which are ideal for drop-ins or folks with little time to spare. Either assign scenarios or give your GMs an early deadline for telling you the scenarios they select.
re. this: we put up a lot of tiers early, and then reduce things as we approach (if many tier 3-5 are requested, then just move DMs to those tiers and get rid of some higher or lower ones, even moving a person or two).
* If you can include a table of ACG
No one plays ACG in France and also plays PFS so I do not know about that, but I thought it was 2 tables of ACG = 1 "table" for the requirements (maybe check that number).
But ACG is a good way to do fill table requirement if needed (the games last a lot less I think, 2 hours or so?).
re. reporting, something linked to that is to print a lot of things out.
You probably will have DMs who "forget" to print their chronicle sheets, who "forgot" their handouts at home.
I know it's sometimes a waste of paper, but I print a bunch of extra things (or have a printer on site).
Also, I print out papers for each table with info' re. things like the support you get for spending money (where we do the Con' a local RPG group does a sandwich/soft drink service for cheap and they stamp what you spend so that the table can then get the benefits of the $ spent: heightened CON level for dying etc.). That's the info' I print out for the players.
I don't know how you work things, but we give a die to every person who plays and then they can roll to win a big and a small mini at each session.
It does not cost much (and we spend the money at the stores that host our games during the year to kind of thank them a bit) and it often makes people happy to earn a special die etc. (when we did the Elemental Special 8-00 I think, we bought red, blue, brown etc. dice for the Elements etc.).
for Pepper:
Cool! It'd be fun... Do you know, or have you had a look at Chambord, Chenonceau castles?

"What nice flanks you share, Ptehp."
Ptehp feels his own sides, wondering why the dancer likes his flanks.
"Ptehp keep his flanks to hisself."
Then he casts Stabilize on the bleeding barbarian, to staunch the flow and keep him from dying.

I am preparing our Convention (the French one, held in Paris) which is at the end of the month. Our main concern is having enough people!
@Gitano & GM Pepper: Ptehp moved in to give Gitano the flank, since I believe I am the only one who can do so - thus Gitano's readied action can simply be an action (?).
Sounds like you're a busy man, Gary. Thanks for all you do for the community.
Yeah! It was all a ploy... to draw is in here -- and kill us all!
IT'S A TRAP...
re. Whips:
I forgot one thing: do you know the PFS updates (FAQ or whatever) on whips/scorpion whips, GM Pepper? (a year or two ago) I should look up the link and put it in Ptehp's page.
Ptehp is proficient in whips (as 1/2 orc alternate racial trait: City Raised) and in scorpion whips (as deity's favored weapon w. Warpriest) and thus, when wielding a scorpion whip (the weapon), can choose to use it as a scorpion whip or a whip.
Scorpion whips: threaten in a 1 sq. radius and do not provoke AoOs
(so Ptehp uses his weapon as a Scorpion Whip vs. adjacent enemies)
Whips: can be used up to 15 ft. away (including adjacent) but do not threaten, and provoke AoOs (note: whips also deal non lethal and do no damage vs. armor, but that part does not apply here since the actual weapon used is the scorpion whip).
(so Ptehp uses his weapon as a Whip vs. enemies at 10 or 15 ft. distance)
Note: thus, if Ptehp uses his weapon at 10 or 15 ft. vs. someone w. Reach, he provokes an AoO.
Other shenanigans (gotta love Standard min/maxing):
• since the Scorpion Whip is Ptehp's Deithy's weapon the damage is now 1d8
• Ptehp has the Phalanx Formation feat, meaning that when using a weapon w. reach he can attack "through" an ally w/o that ally providing cover ("Friends, fight with your legs well apart and your chins pulled in, Ptehp is flicking that whip past you!").
Okay, I have to write this up all nice and proper and put the links in and add it to my sheet.

"Huh?" says Ptehp, suddenly seeing Gitano and Kitajo leaping about and twirling around in a flurry of blows and piercing rapier attacks.
Seeing that Gitano is waiting for someone to flank, Pethp sighs and trudges over to helo the man out, boxing himself into the corner with a frown: "Can't you get fat momma's boy to flank?" he asks Gitano.
Moving over, Ptehp grabs his nicely crafted whip, letting it unfurl: a 15 foot lash of braided black leather, set with scorpion stingers.
Moving past the axe, Ptehp cringes, waiting for a blow, sighing again.

Ptehp is about to bellow something to the guards, but thinks twice, and bows his head to them, whispering to his comrades: "Dah one dat spoke is hiding something. And dey both have put their suricats... their surrogates... their surcoats on backwards. Dey be dumb. Me see that. If you want, me tell 'em we be dah doctors come to help."
