I am a-okay with no damage + trip, if that is allowable. My priority was keeping Thurl down on the ground, so if damage came along with that, c'est le vie

Pausing to learn whether Suppress Charms and Complusions suppresses the effect, or whether I go all out on my nearest ally... .

It's a close run thing for a couple of the saves, but Redgar stays alert and flexible.
Hah! Sticks and Bones can't break my Stones
Seeing as how Green has not yet expired I trust Bediou included the +2 morale bonus to damage, if there wasn't already an equal/higher morale bonus, Redgar will try to finish off the downed creature.
If Atk 3 crits, extra damage:2d6 + 32 + 2 ⇒ (1, 1) + 32 + 2 = 36
If any of the attacks above would miss, I will add 1d8 ⇒ 4 once I learn it would not hit.
If I down Green before my final attack, I will 5' step up to Blue and continue swinging at the horrible amalgamation. Until Blue has been hit by an ally, I would have -2 to atk and damage from the numbers above. Otherwise, I will step forward after my attacks.
Please let me know if I need to add the extra 1d8, and if so I will update my spent influence accordingly.

Alright everyone - let's take them down!Swift to activate the Teamwork Feats for everyone. As a reminder, +1 to saves (max +4) for each adjacent ally, and a +2 morale to atk/dmg if you damage an enemy damaged by an ally this round.
Redgar will stride to above Green, and take a targeting blow for the legs...

barkskin and freedom of movement on one other member of the party (If no one else wants them he'll cast them on Jannaria).
Just to note on this, everyone except Pyros, Jannaria and Muhlia have barkskin active on them already form previous casting, so they would be the three members of the party who would benefit from it being cast on them. I'm thinking it would be most useful on Jannaria as she is already going to be potentially taking damage from things like life link, but I'm happy to take guidance on that from the rest of the party. For freedom of movement Jannaria has already cast that on some members of the party so it looks like Redgar, Pyros, Jannaria, and Muhlia don't currently have it. My personal preference would be to put it on one of the casters as: 1. Getting grappled can completely shut down a caster; 2. Martials usually have better CMDs and CMBs so are better at avoiding things like grapples; 3. If a few of us get grappled casters have access to things like liberating command, so are able to help the rest of the party escape so long as they are not grappled themselves.
Roger! Makes sense, no FOM for me and I don't need the barkskin b/c it is still up!

Each of us has plenty of blood on our hands. We all had to make choices sometimes about who to trust, and whose ends to support. Even those of us who tried to take a middle road, supporting the "greater good" of the Pathfinder Society as a whole, have been manipulated to unexpected ends at times.
As you note, recently there's a group of agents and Venture Captains who have been trying to steer the Pathfinder Society onto a better path. Looking out for the people of Absalom, and showing more respect and care towards the other peoples we encounter around the world. Even Iando Kline has returned to the Society.
Many families in Absalom who live far from noble intrigues were hurt during that Siege. You will need to find ways to properly address your past deeds that hurt innocents - not because "the Decemverate" or some magisterial authority compels you, but so you can finally get a good night's rest.
But you clearly have a keen eye for when and where the Pathfinder Society has previously gone astray - and a sense of poetic justice might be just what is needed to help reestablish the Pathfinder Society's moral standing in society.
I'd encourage you to consider returning to the Society with us. At the very least, perhaps you can help us take down Thurl once-and-for-all? That bastard used the Society's name and resources to hurt innocents and Pathfinders... and the Decemvirate were at least negligent in letting it happen. What say we first take his head, then we see what other heads need to roll?

Of course, we will escort you back. The problem is, the exit disappeared when we entered this labyrinth, so I think we need to put an end to its creators before we can get you home?
If Redgar misunderstands, he's happy to escort our rescued allies to safety now, if that is the group's preference.
(I corrected my line on the Initiative sheet to say "Redgar" instead of "Player 2", sorry about that! :))
(I checked RPG Chronicles, and I had correctly entered my -3. My first post here was likely under Marcus Garrolus, so that's likely why it shows him as in the campaign, even though I've now set Redgar to be the default.)

Many thanks, Thargash, appreciated!That all works for me! You'll have 1 charge on the Lesser Extend rod left, then, after the Delay Poison and Barkskin, I think?
Note: all of my allies get a +2 Insight Bonus to Perception Checks and Profession (Scribe) checks for this adventure, thanks to the "Published Trailblazer" faction boon.
Before entering, I would have drunk 5d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 5, 3, 2) = 16 five doses of Boulderhead Bock, which would run out after the first hour. Redgar's bar tab is hefty indeed!
I'll also mark off a HA charge - since it's from a wand, it wouldn't be up at the start of this fight, given the 4 hrs of wandering

It seems we have found a demiplane filled with bovine beings with axes. What crazed mind would think of such a thing?
Feeling the familiar sensation of magic speeding through his nerves, Redgar strides towards the first Large foe, unsheathing his greatsword on the way.
Redgar sizes up the Brute, hoping it is still flat-footed, and swings for the leg...

[u]During the journey...[/u]
Redgar practices morning meditations, the better to commune with the martial spirits that help give him an edge.
Redgar is only too happy to offer pointers on tactics and fitness to his comrades. being a Drill Sergeant fighter, who can throw down the feats "Shake it Off" and "Blood for the Society" (Blood for the Empire) to his teammates
Otherwise, he is happy to roll with his emotions on his sleeve, now that he has them back.
Thank you, Thargash - I always appreciate having a magical edge to more than just my blade
Redgar has x2 Pearls of Power Level 1, and x1 Pearl of Power level 2, and a Lesser Rod of Extend to share with any casters.
If there happens to be room to grab an Extended Barkskin when we get closer to combat, with the Pearl of Power replacing a casting of another spell, that would be fantastic... but no worries if not.
Similarly, I have a vibrant purple prism Ioun Stone, so I can cheese a personal spell or two - if there happened to be plenty of level 1 spell slots going spare I'd love a 14 hr longstrider then a Featherstep in the hopper each day, with two Pearl of Power L1's ready to refresh those or other spells... but again, no worries if not!
[u]During Kolm's briefing[/u]
Redgar nods solemnly - I promise to avenge your fallen comrades, and to rescue any captives that we can. No Pathfinder, or ally, left behind.
No knowledge rolls - Redgar is used to letting the smart people in pointy hats tell him what to break and what not to break.

Ahoy! I'm Redgar - I'm fine with normal mode or hard mode, whichever the group prefers.
I'm not sure if I've ever PBP'd Pathfinder on here before... but I have played the ACG on here a bunch, back in the day. I'm sure the ol' fingers will remember the chords soon enough!
Boon roll says 1d20 ⇒ 10

Heya! So, I'm at the Caravanseri, and I have drawn an item. I'm now supposed to draw an item from the box, pick one of the two to encounter, and banish the other. Does this mean I:
a) draw a random item from my class box; or,
b) draw a random card from somewhere else?
If b), where do I draw the card from? I see lists of Armors, Blessings, Spells, Monsters, etc... but no Random Items?

Redgar, ever conscious of the Society's reputation in Magnamar, starts to work a little "crowd control" if there are any curious gawkers.
Nothing to see here, move along citizens. Just a minor kerfluffle with a foul assassin. Nothing to worry about, it has been dealt with. Proceed about your business...

Redgar marches up to near where Edgar's glitter-bomb exploded, drawing his Greatsword as he proceeds (using Scabbard of Vigor to give +2)
He then pulls a scroll from his backback, muttering out of the corner of his mouth to Edgar: If she decides to make a run for it, I've got a scroll of fly, if you wouldn't mind helping a brother out?

Momentum carrying him inexorably forward, Redgar thunders towards the entrance to the alleyway and prepares to try the "up and over" approach.

The tattoo on Redgar's face shimmers, and one of the figures detaches itself from his face. A wispy figure starts flying alongside the hurtling Redgar, laughing at his lumbering gate. Told you that exercise would be good for you!
As Redgar approaches the crowd, the figure coalesces into a spirit oni. Bracing its hands, it readies itself as a take-off point...

Quick question for the GM. Looking ahead to the next obstacle I'll encounter (Up and Over, Acrobatics), and looking at the Chase rules on the PRD re: spells/abilities, I thought I'd ask if activating a particular boon would be relevant to the challenge?
Jiraku's Eternal Path:
Until the beginning of your next turn, you may move through up to 10 feet of difficult terrain as if it were normal terrain; this effect stacks with the benefit of Acrobatic Steps and Nimble Steps feats. During this time, you also gain a +3 bonus on saving throws against any effect that would directly impede movement, such as entangle or slow. When this effect ends, you regain 1d8+5 hit points.
If this is too metagamey a question I can accept 'signs hazy, ask again after you try' as a reply, and if there was to be some benefit, I'm perfectly okay with not knowing in advance the details if that's preferable.
Just thought I'd give you the heads up, and thought it worth checking to see if my head is in the right place for using the ability as part of a chase?

It could have been the dangerous glint in his eye, or the determined thrust of his chin. Just possibly, it might have been the malodorous smell on his tabbard and boots. In hindsight, though, most observers agreed it was probably gravity that propelled the couple-dozen-pounds of armour animated by a couple-hundred-pounds of muscle known as "Redgar" through the dense crowd that afternoon. :)

Greetings, oh great and merciful GM,
I have a question about the Stinking Could/Nauseated countdown. I might have been taking 'double turns' by accident! If not, though, then I wonder if the round timer might be off in the most recent post?
