I also wanted to post to say that I exist, but am currently in crunch mode on a Paizo writing gig, so the next few days I may not be around much.

Zendel takes the missing door as part of his case. He's been mostly silent, pacing the area and knocking on the walls, considering the options. "Fascinating," he mutters.

For the Free Archetype, Zendel will be adding back two investigator feats, That's Odd and Trapspotter. So if there is anything odd, you can draw Zendel's attention to it in a round about way.

Sorry for not being ready. It is a busy time!

I still have to convert Zendel to APB and Free Archetype.
I am probably going to create a separate Google Doc character sheet for that after Wednesday.

"Ahem!" Zendel looks unhappily at the sole of his boot. "There's alas plenty around here that belongs on a farm."
"It all comes down to logic" | 820-2003 | Male Feytouched Gnome Dandy Investigator 7 HP 78/78 | AC 24 | F +12 R +13 W +12 | Perc +14 | 35 Speed | Hero Points 2/3 | Campaign Coins 1/1 | Active Conditions: Resistance Negative Energy 1 -- | Cases: ---
Actually, let's just declare it. I'm bringing Zendel. He's a comfortable fit, and he's already Level 5. He just needs an ABP / Free Archetype version.

Threatened with fun? Oh no! That sounds like a fate worse than death.
Meanwhile, my merchant, Zendel, has managed to talk shop with all sorts of traders, store owners and other shop folk.
I adore the Investigator, and love it enough that I built two separate investigators for PFS. I don't consider it a problem that I cannot reroll the bad Devise a Stratagem because there are usually opportunities to use attack another creature. Bosses rarely act alone, especially in the six person parties that usually happen in PFS.
I do wish though that the investigators got an in-feat option for Electric Arc and other non-attack roll cantrips. Zendel gets his non-attack roll cantrip from being a feychild gnome. This is not an option for my Grippli, Dr. Croaker, and I am seriously considering taking a caster dedication on Dr. Croaker just to get that as an option.
Still, I find that Dr. Croaker has lots that he can do still when DaS is less effective. There's almost always people getting hurt in battles against single bosses, and he's great at keeping the party up.

As the group heads back from their trip to the oasis, Zendel catches them. "Eando will see you now. If you'll follow me?"
"It all comes down to logic" | 820-2003 | Male Feytouched Gnome Dandy Investigator 7 HP 78/78 | AC 24 | F +12 R +13 W +12 | Perc +14 | 35 Speed | Hero Points 2/3 | Campaign Coins 1/1 | Active Conditions: Resistance Negative Energy 1 -- | Cases: ---
Zendel looks down at his clipboard, then back to the sun-burned herbalist and the over-eager dragon. "You should have enough time to walk around it. Be back in about half an hour?"
"It all comes down to logic" | 820-2003 | Male Feytouched Gnome Dandy Investigator 7 HP 78/78 | AC 24 | F +12 R +13 W +12 | Perc +14 | 35 Speed | Hero Points 2/3 | Campaign Coins 1/1 | Active Conditions: Resistance Negative Energy 1 -- | Cases: ---
"You wish to go swimming?" Zendel raises one purple brow, amused at the small dragon's enthusiasm. "Lucky for you we're in an oasis. There's a small series of pools near those trees over there, but clean off before you go swimming. That's also the camp's main source of drinking water!"
Then Zendel turns politely to Tarcog, and studies the papers. "Ah, so you are here for Eando Kline's other matter then. He and another Pathfinder have been studying a book that she brought in the dead of night. Well, I can offer you shade and some food while you wait. I hope you're not fussy. I've come to the conclusion that when you're this far in the desert, sand becomes the secret ingredient of every meal."
I have a PFS merchant that I love, Zendel of Oprak. Zendel is a gnome who was adopted by the hobgoblin Brazadig of Brazadig's Construct Emporium. His father, who wants to develop trade partners all over Golarian, decided that the most expedient route to do so was to have Zendel join the Pathfinder Society, and make new connections wherever the Society sends him.
Mechanically:
Zendel is an Interrogator Investigator with a lot of charm. He's got Onyx Trader background, and Obsessive Lore to make both his Mercantile and Hobgoblin Lore scalable. He does have the Dandy archetype, which worked very well for his character.
(I could have seen also seen the Linguist archetype working for him, but I went with other choices.)
If you want to be a merchant, just be a merchant. Pick a mercantile background, or pick up mercantile/underworld lore with Additional Lore. If you want to max your Earn Income, be Field-Trained and acquire Storied Talent via the Horizon Hunters faction. (However, I actually think you will have more money if you're trained by one of the regular Pathfinder schools and get a free consumable with each mission. Your mileage may vary.)
Really, any character can be a merchant. What do you want to do with your merchant? Who are they? What are they selling?

Zendel hugs ArfSnarf. "We will be fine without you until we meet again." Then with a jaunty whistle, he waves farewell to the rest of the team.
"Where to next, Kalang? Shall we see where the stone roads of Oprak take us?"

"Huali, you will be a fine hero!" Zendel shakes the mahwek girl's hand. "I hope you'll consider the Pathfinder Society as part of your heroic journey."
Zendel turns to Salaish, and kisses her hand. "It was a pleasure working with you again, Salaish. If you ever visit Oprak, do visit me and Kalang!" He says farewell Ra-uf, and thanks the champion for all of his protective energy. "You're a good man, Ra'uf!" He claps ArfSnarf on the back. "Thank you for introducing me to the art of clacky rock divination. May I ask you for one last bit of fortune-telling?"
Finally, he shakes hands with Zhaymie. "Thanks for helping me and Huali work on my medical skills. It was excellent working alongside you."
Then he turns to heart-brother Kalang, and grunts. It's the hobgoblin grunt that means, 'Shall we go now?'

Thank you so much, Blazej!

For seven days, Zendel retrains Assurance in Medicine to Battlefield Medicine. Then he does one day of actual work, developing new markets in Arcadia for his father's business, Bradazig's Constructs.

Zendel, ever the expert on hobgoblin culture, helpfully translates Kalang's grunt for the Red weretiger. "Ma'am, that grunt in the hobgoblin language means, 'This is going to hurt!'"
◇ Devise Stratagem: 1d20 ⇒ 7
◇ Find Weakness (Society): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20
Zendel devises a stratagem on the Red Weretiger, but does not like his odds shooting the weretiger to its face. "By the way, ma'am, 'filthy' rodent? Your language is quite shocking and so is my response!"
Seeing Kalang provoke the attack of opportunity, Zendel casts Electric Arc on both Red and Blue. If Red went down to Kalang's alpha strike, he targets Green instead.
◈◈ Electric Arc (DC 19): 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 4) + 3 = 11
◈ Then Zendel strides to get in better bow position.

Yes, that +1 is from my striking weapon!
Zendel shares what he knows about were tigers with the rest of the party.

Zendel strides and devises a statagem on the Red Cat person and then shoots twice. "We do not want this fight. Walk away and live!"

Quickie post! Zendel has low-light vision and a wayfinder. And he's going to add cat people to his cases.

Also, Zendel and Kalang's dice have been sad. But we have a diplomatic party. Someone else will step in and convince her!

Zendel's Diplomacy (E) + Case: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 12 + 1 = 19 Includes Diplomat's Badge from Viltydus
If that's a failure, Zendel would like to reroll it with a Hero Point. I get a +1 from Vestments.
"What may we call you?" Zendel sits on the ground next to the woman. "My name is Zendel. I have travelled all the way from across the sea so that I might help Viltydus help those who are on their Hero's Journey. Viltydus woke us up in the middle of the night because he had the vision that you might need help."
He points to the badge that Viltydus gave him. "This was offered to me from Viltydus in honor of helping another hero on her journey, but I would bring shame on it if I were to abandon you now. So... If you are exhausted in mind and body, then rest and we will protect you. You know the price you may pay, well so do we. We are Pathfinders. We are called to explore, cooperate, report. Consider it our oath that we may not abandon you in your time of need."
Zendel looks over at her. "I do not know much about Cihua Couatl, but have you considered that your goddess may have warned you to save you, and that she may have given that vision to Viltydus, so that we may all protect each other?"
Can you tell me what I may recall of Cihua Couatl with gossip lore?

Zendel's Gossip (T) + Investigation: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 10 + 1 = 20 Bardic Lore with Dubious Knowledge
Zendel adjust his monocle and studies the trail. "I think we need to head that way."
Zendel will be Using Gossip Lore to investigate.
"It all comes down to logic" | 820-2003 | Male Feytouched Gnome Dandy Investigator 7 HP 78/78 | AC 24 | F +12 R +13 W +12 | Perc +14 | 35 Speed | Hero Points 2/3 | Campaign Coins 1/1 | Active Conditions: Resistance Negative Energy 1 -- | Cases: ---
Zendel yawns a moment, but also grabs his gear swiftly and without complaint. He kneels down to study the site. Zendel studies the dried blood and broken branches to see if he notices anything.
I don't have Survival, but I do have Medicine, Perception and Gossip Lore. In addition, I know that Zhamie has the skill feat for Forensic Medicine, due to her investigatory style.
"Have there been any other attacks like these in the woods, or is this the first?"
Zendel would like to make this attack the subject of his investigation.
"It all comes down to logic" | 820-2003 | Male Feytouched Gnome Dandy Investigator 7 HP 78/78 | AC 24 | F +12 R +13 W +12 | Perc +14 | 35 Speed | Hero Points 2/3 | Campaign Coins 1/1 | Active Conditions: Resistance Negative Energy 1 -- | Cases: ---

In light of the attack of opportunity, Zendel tosses out that stratagem as he considers how to attack Green.

Yes, I'll greatly appreciate that. Done!

Zendel wails as the cuff of his jacket catches fire. "That was bespoke tailoring!"
Persistent Flame Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1
He also takes some minor fire damage.
Then he considers the Forge Spirit and its whirling blades.
◇ Devise Stratagem: 1d20 ⇒ 4
◇ Known Weakness (Arcana) Frightened 2: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 11 - 2 = 18
If I am using Gossip Lore, it is one lower.
He dislikes what his calculations tell him about fighting it at this time, so he concentrates his energies on the pesky cinder rat who damaged his outfit. "Gah! This is for all the smoke damage you've caused!"
◈ Swordcane (agile, concealable, finesse, striking) Frightened 2: 1d20 + 7 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 1 - 2 = 21
Piercing damage: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 2) = 7
Then he casts a spell on both Cinder Rats. "Your disregard for fine tailoring is shocking, but so is this spell!"
Flat Check (DC 5) to Cast Spell when grabbed: 1d20 ⇒ 14
◈◈ Electric Arc Frightened 2 (DC 17 15): 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 3) + 3 = 7
Flat Check (DC 15) to not be on Fire: 1d20 ⇒ 20
At the end of his turn, Zendel's fine tailoring reasserts itself and the flame goes out, and he is feeling slightly less frightened.

Zendel absolutely takes the Animate Fire as his second case.

Zhamie is fully healed from Ra'uf's lay on hands, as she gave herself back 23 damage at the end of the battle and so only had 6 damage left.
Zendel attempts to treat his own wounds...
Zendel's Medicine (E): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
...but just blots ineffectually at the blood. Still during that time, his ioun stone heals ten hit points of his injuries.
After 10 minutes, Zendel is at 29/45 hit points. How long was our walk from the forest to town? Was I able to heal up any from that?
★ ---- ★ ---- ★ ---- ★
Zendel listens to the details on the blacksmith's forge in fascination. "I should like to study these forge fire spirits."
New Case: Forge Fire Spirits!
"So what are these marks like? Are they animal symbols?" Zendel glances at other swords to assess them.
Zendel's Gossip in place of Animal Lore (T): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21 Bardic Lore with Dubious Knowledge
+1 if Zendel's investigation applies.
"It all comes down to logic" | 820-2003 | Male Feytouched Gnome Dandy Investigator 7 HP 78/78 | AC 24 | F +12 R +13 W +12 | Perc +14 | 35 Speed | Hero Points 2/3 | Campaign Coins 1/1 | Active Conditions: Resistance Negative Energy 1 -- | Cases: ---
It will take 26 minutes for Zendel to completely heal as well. How long is this walk back to town? Do we need to take ten minutes to refocus / heal?
Zendel takes a moment to use prestidigitation to dry out and clean his sodden boots. "Town sounds fine to me. I hate getting mud on my boots. They're taldor leather. Look at the workmanship!"

Zendel splashes down the stream towards the red Gremlin. "I'd be terrified right now if I were you," he says.

Zendel, who had been considering offering mercy to the stalker, sighs. "That's the difference between you and us. You don't need anyone else to slaughter us, but we... we Pathfinders work together. Salaish gives us courage. ArfSnarf slowed you down. Ra'uf lessens our injuries. KaLang sets pesky gremlins aflame and squashes them flat. To defeat you, we need the whole team working together!"
Zendel strikes a critical point...

MLK Weekend Hero Point!: 1d20 ⇒ 20
◈ Stratagem + Sword Cane + I.C. (agile, concealable, finesse, striking): 20 + 10 + 1 + 1 = 32
Strategic Strike+Piercing Damage+1.C.: 2d6 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 3) + (3) + 1 = 11
...and then he strikes again.
◈ Swordcane + I.C. (agile, concealable, finesse, striking): 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 1 + 1 - 4 = 22
Piercing damage: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 1) + 1 = 4
"Don't underestimate teamwork. It can make someone as unassuming as myself into a total badass."

"GAH!" Zendel screams, as the stalker slices in to him. Still, it's Zendel, and his gnomish curiosity cannot help but be intrigued by the Stalker's question, even as the stalker attempts to poison him. "By misbegotten fey, do you mean these stupid gremlins? I thought that you were working with them! But as you may have noticed, we're defeating them soundly."
Fortitude (T): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
He talks through the pain, and the poison bounces straight off the vibrant gnome. "Or were you referring to Viltydus? If so, then yes, we are working with the guardian of the forest!"
Not wishing to step in the entangled area, Zendel glances at Ra'uf, and says, "Come on, flank with me already!"

Zendel spends an action to devise a stratagem against the big one, and keeps it in order to hit.
◈ Devise Stratagem: 1d20 ⇒ 12
◇ Known Weakness (Gossip Lore): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14
◈ Stratagem + Sword Cane + I.C. (agile, concealable, finesse, striking): 12 + 10 + 1 + 1 = 24
Strategic Strike+Piercing Damage+1.C.: 2d6 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3, 5) + (3) + 1 = 12
◈ Then he puts his feet into the river so that Ra'uf can have an easy flank next turn.
"Ra'uf, if you just move a tad, we will be able to flank with neither of us in the entangled area!"

"Ahem. I would love a guide to Oprak. It's an amazing city, for hobgoblins and adopted hobgoblins."

Nothing could be more terrifying than an all Investigator Party.

I've been making each new Case the specific tasks assigned by the VC.
My first was helping Huali.
My second was investigating the gremlins in the forest.

Zhamie, what was your case? Devise a stratagem becomes free when you face an encounter related to your case. As the Plant stalker is working with the gremlins, this is related to my case.
Zendel's Reflex (E) DC 22: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
Zendel's Reflex (E) DC 20: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
"Ha! I'm fey-blooded. Your vines recognize me as kindred." Zendel easily evades the vines, then says "Oof!" as the splinters hit him. He devises a stratagem against the Green foliage stalker, and attempts to recall some information about it.
◇ Devise Stratagem: 1d20 ⇒ 2
◇ Known Weakness (Gossip Lore): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28
He tosses out his immediate stratagem, and strikes at the gremlin that attemped to claw him.
◈ Swordcane + I.C. (agile, concealable, finesse, striking): 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 1 + 1 = 24
Piercing damage: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (1, 5) + 1 = 7
◈◈ Then not liking the flank that Ra'uf is caught in, he strides twice to aid Ra'uf with the plant stalker.

Zendel takes a moment to clue others in on what he's heard about mites. Then he proceeds to use his gossip lore in lieu of Gremlin Lore.
Zendel's Gossip (T) plus Case: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 10 + 1 = 23 Bardic Lore with Dubious Knowledge
Investigate Activity
I was able to be adopted by Hobgoblins because PFS has as an 'Adopted Ancestry I' boon that allows characters to be adopted by Leshies, Kobolds and Hobgoblins. This boon curates specific feats that they believe are not dependent on physiology and allows you to pick up those feats if you take the adopted ancestry boon.
Up until third level (when the adopted ancestry paperwork was finally finalized by me grabbing that feat, Zendel could point to the fact that I spent 20 ACP for the privilege of him being adopted by hobgoblins, and that he had scaling hobgoblin lore and a background as an Onyx Trader.
I wish that PFS would come up with more versions of that Adopted Ancestry boon for other ancestries, but I know it was work to curate which feats required the physiology of your adopted culture, and which didn't. They might not have issued another one since the first was so much work.
