I've played a lot of Core but there are still scenarios unplayed. Including #7–05: School of Spirits. Consider me interested. Shelby is a level 2 Barcher.

Looks like we are mostly in favor of stopping here then.

Quote:
It has been an eventful day. Janira is alive! She nearly died a hero but is one of the lucky few who lived as one. In fact when we found the minotaur again we worked well together to save her. The beast is no more, being felled as it attempted to escape. As for the Gillman the news is good though confusing. The caves contain an ancient shrine to Aroden and the Gillmen worship there. I saw no signs of dark deeds. Just the usual offerings of simple folk. Trinkets and prayers. However there is a fantastic city made of gems. It is too big to sell and taking it would only anger the Gillman but it should be examined more closely. The whole shrine would be of interest to scholarly types as it is quite old. Ask for the deaf gillman Uori. He was our contact. Nice enough but distrustful of outsiders. Thus ends my report. Time to get drunk, get laid, and write an epic story about Janira the brave. With a little luck I will do all 3 at once.

"So, Janira, Where is the best place to get a drink? First round is on me."

I have another level 1 Core character to play irl so have no preference either way. Shelby still has his spells and plenty of perform rounds left.

Spend 4 charges of Janira's wand on her. 30 points healed
2 charges on Gary 15 points healed
And a charge on Tere CLW caster level 3: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

"You came close to death Janira. But if not for your bravery we may have all died by that cave entrance. I would say we all did well here. By the way, Janira we encountered a Gillman. There is an old shrine to Aroden a ways back and now the Gillman use it as a place of worship. There is also a beautifully crafted city at the shrine, You should see it. There is another branch of the caves we have not explored yet."

GM Kuey are you ok with the practice of allowing 2 charges from a cure wand being the average when healing out of combat? So 1d8 +1 and 1d8 +1 would be 2 charges for 11 dmg healed. If yes I'll use 2 charges of Janira's CL 3 wand on Gary then 2 on her. We can decide what to do after that. If not I can make a bunch of rolls.

"Excellent. Now there is wounds to tend to."

With archery you can choose any corner of your square as the origin point meaning you can fire around a corner. So no cover for the ooze from that shot. Corners are great for archers because since it effects melee but not ranged I can shoot around the corner and not take aoos.

I always felt the city was the weakest part of Confirmation. It usually takes newer players awhile to trigger things so it is a big time sink, And when they succeed they get utterly forgettable minor buffs.

Shelby's take 10 is a 15 thanks to his study of ancient Azlanti.

"I believe these inscriptions are from Aroden's holy texts History and Future of Humanity. Artist, beggar, craftsman, farmer, fisherman, hunter, merchant, scholar, shepherd, soldier, tailor, and thief. The depictions are from earlier versions of the texts. There is a good chance we are in a very old shrine or temple to Aroden."

I have actually played this a few times. It is possible to kill the Minotaur at this point. One time I played it and we left all of the choices to young lady who was new to PFS. She chose to fight. The tweaked out sorcerer I built did most of the damage with 3 volleys of 3 magic missiles each. But this is Core. If Yen has never played this before we can let him pick options.

Going to assume we'll still have Inspire after Janira acts. So if the snakes are still around I'll toss my alchemist fire at the red x Tere marked and then pull another one.

Confirmation day. After fighting eldritch horrors in the a** end of nowhere in a bug infested jungle it has been decided that I'm not a real Pathfinder until I've gone spelunking in a cave to find out how fish people spend their time during a full moon. The lovely Janira shot down my theory that it was connected to their mating habits but she can't know for sure. The cave is about a day from the capitol so travel should be relatively safe. I know little about my companions though they have sent the mad woman Faeria with me again. Her magic can be useful but I'm more concerned about the threat she represents then the Gillmen. A couple of days of easy travel followed by a bit of peeping and I should be a full agent.

Shelby is not as flamboyant or chatty as most Bards but he sees the Pathfinders as a path to Fame. He has good initiative and plenty of rounds of Bardic Performance.

Remember that. It will come up often.
