The maximum you can get is 1PP, so you didn't miss anything. It's the same for all of the short 1XP modules even though they are a similar length to a standard scenario.

Thanks for the information.

Chronicle looks good.

I have one question, though: Was there only 1 PP to earn or did we miss something that cost us the second PP?

Thank you very much for running! It was a hoot! :)

I think you did quite well for your first time GMing; I only hope I can emulate your success.

Seconded. I couldn't say it better.

Reta joins in with Mogmurch's chanting:

"ALL HAIL ZARONGEL AND CHIEFTAIN POOG!"

Reta looks at the newly emerged pig.

Wis: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14

Not bad for an ability check... but Poog probably will do better.

Reta has a jar of pickled halfling toes just about ready for eating (equivalent to 1 day’s trail rations). And then we have some large eggs...

Reta grabs as many eggs as she can carry and follows Chief Poog.

Reta takes her time to search thoroughly.

Taking 20 on Perception for a total result of 30 - takes 1 minute per 5 foot square.

Reta moves around to get back into Point-Blank distance, trying to avoid getting too close to Chief Poog - just in case the cleric wants to channel Zarongel's power again - and shoots another +1 flaming arrow at the creature.

mwk shortbow, PBS: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 8 + 1 = 22
Magic Piercing, PBS: 1d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5
Fire: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Nice, a solid hit with a total of 11 damage! :-D

Reta shoots another +1 flaming arrow at the creature, then backs up a little.

mwk shortbow, PBS: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 8 + 1 = 20
Magic Piercing, PBS: 1d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5
Fire: 1d6 ⇒ 1

That's a little better...

Reta backs up just far enough, draws her bow and nocks a +1 flaming arrow. She' s ready to shoot as soon as the creature moves in PBS range.

mwk shortbow, PBS: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 1 = 13
Magic Piercing, PBS: 1d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4
Fire: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Oh, come on, dice bot! :-/

"So, Chief Poog: Was this thing an animal or not? Don't want to waste these magic animal bane arrows on a creature that's not an animal..."

If it's not an animal, I still have got the +1 flaming arrows...

Well, if the 'mean bird thing' isn't resistant to fire: We have found many gourds (of fire breathing).
Also, Reta has +1 animal bane arrows (5) and +1 flaming arrows (8)...

"Yeah, bringing the heads should be proof enough."

Reta listens to Poog's explanations and is fascinated.

"That's very interesting! Zarongel sure is glorious and powerful!"

Afterwards, she also looks for loot.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

"Victory! Hooray!"

Reta jumps around, singing her song again. Then she suddenly stops.

"Um, chief Poog? Does he stay a bat even if he's dead or what? Where is his stuff?"

"Sounds good to me, too!"
Reta moves a bit back towards the corner so Chuffy can complete the flank.

readied +1 flaming dogslicer, flank: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 2 = 19
Magical Slashing: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Fire: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Flaming sphere only does damage if you fail the save, so Reta managed to avoid all of the damage from it.

Oh. I need to pay more attention, it seems...

Readied attack (with flanking) sounds good to me! :-D

"Uh, chief Poog? Can you heal me, too?"

Reta took 5 fire damage from the flaming sphere...

Reta provoked on purpose so Chuffy doesn't get an AoO for standing up and/or moving - until Pa has Combat Reflexes...

Reta swings her dogslicer wildly.

+1 flaming dogslicer: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23 :-D
Magical Slashing: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Fire: 1d6 ⇒ 6 :-D Does some of it get through?

"Take that, ugly!"

She then moves away from the corner. (move action, provokes)

How many rounds does the flaming sphere last? Asking for a friend Chuffy... ;-)

Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Reta manages to avoid most of the flames, but still gets burned.

"Ouch! That burns!"

She steps out of the sphere and retaliates with another blow of her dogslicer...

+1 flaming dogslicer: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15 :-(
Magical Slashing: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Fire: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Don't set fire to Mogmurch!

Yeah, it's way better to set Mogmurch on fire! :-P B-)

Reta continues her efforts to hurt Pa...

+1 flaming dogslicer, flanking: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 2 = 13
Magical Slashing: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Fire: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Reminder that Pa isn't the only opponent. :-P
Well, if the swarm survives the burning hands of Poog, of course...

"Don't forget we have the gourds!"

Reta moves through the swarm to get inside. There she quickly gets into melee range, trying to give Chuffy an opportunity to flank. (this provokes an AoO)

She swings her dogslicer at the enemy.

+1 flaming dogslicer: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Magical Slashing: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Fire: 1d6 ⇒ 5

"Soon we munch on meat!"

Reta is still busy getting herself on the roof.

Waiting for my turn.

If Mogmurch offers Reta the potion of barkskin, she will gladly drink it.

"Psst! I'll get you two up there, but you have to be quiet!"

The Subchieftain of Dog Killing grabs the remaining two goblins and levitates up, keeping them close to her.

I put our three icons on the map #8. I also assume that we are squeezing into two squares in total while we are levitating (you need to keep whatever you lift close to your body - otherwise it will become heavier thanks to leverage), so we're as little visible from inside the hole as possible. When Chuffy gets inside unseen, Reta will deliver both Mogmurch and Poog together (still squeezing) to the square that provides enough cover to hide behind.

Hopefully Reta drinks the Potion of Barkskin.

If Mogmurch does not want to imbibe it, Reta surely will... Thanks!

Please no one open the trapdoor; we'll assume that's where it goes.

Reta opens the trapdoor. Just kidding! ;-)

I am fine with the 'Float your Local Goblin' plan.

"No, you have a big head!"

(goes and crits the enemy)

Reta laughs about her own crude rhyme.

"No, you have a big head!"

Right after Poog shoots fire at the woman, Reta steps forward - again offering Chuffy a flanking position. (if he dares to move there)
She swings her blade at the woman.

+1 flaming dogslicer: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
Magical Slashing: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Fire: 1d6 ⇒ 4

crit? +1 flaming dogslicer: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
additional Magical Slashing: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Whoa! That looks like another crit! Nice! :-D

I hate to be 'that guy' but I don't think sneak damage is doubled in 1st Edition PF.

That's correct, SA is precision damage and is not multiplied on a crit. It's still a nice first round of actions! ;-)

"It's a giant ferret! If it bites you, the wound will bleed badly!"

Reta carefully steps to the ferret's side, offering Chuffy a flanking position. She holds her attack for now... but as soon as the rogue steps up and completes the flank, Reta will swing her blade at her foe. (not Chuffy, though it's tempting :-P)

Readied attack:
+1 flaming dogslicer, flank: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 2 = 30
Magical Slashing: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Fire: 1d6 ⇒ 4
crit? +1 flaming dogslicer, flank: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 8 + 2 = 29
additional Magical Slashing: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Reta tries to remember what kind of animal it is.

Knowledge (nature) untrained: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (12) + 0 = 12 (max DC 10)

"Hm... what is this?"

Chuffy's for taking 20.

Sounds good to me too.

Seconded Thirded. ;-)

"Maybe we can smoke it out later with fire? But right now we should focus on the house... I'll check the main door for traps."

Stealth - ACP: 1d20 + 10 - 3 ⇒ (19) + 10 - 3 = 26

Reta moves as silent as possible towards the main door of the building.
She takes her time to check for traps.

Perception, take 20: 20 + 10 = 30

Reta is not amused about the repeated kill stealing - no, not at all. Fortunately, she remembers that Stealth is still necessary before cursing the rogue out, so she does it with a low (but still very angry) voice:

"CHUFFY!!! Which part of 'Reta is the Subchieftain of Dog Killing', don't you understand?! There will be consequences, oh yes..."

Math says, Reta will do more average damage (and definitely way more minimum damage) on a coop de grace. ;-)

Chuffy can ready an attack with the trigger 'coop de grace done', though, we are still flanking...

Yay, crossposting! And like I wrote: way more minimum damage... *shrugs*

How are we gonna resolve this, GM?

Just saying: Reta performed the correct coop de grace... ;-)

Reta takes aim with her magic dogslicer and and tries to behead the hideous dog...

coop de grace: critical Magical Slashing Damage (+1 flaming dogslicer): 1d4 + 2 + 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 + (1) + 2 = 8
Fire Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Total damage: 12

Thanks GM for moving our tokens. I often 'fat finger' them and mess up the map. I just messed up a signup sheet about 5 minutes ago.

Now, now, we aren't using the same excuses as grimdog73, are we? :-P

Mogmurch isn't going to coop de grace so I'll leave it up to Chuffy and Reta. Chuffy gets 2d6 sneak dice but has a -1 Str penalty whereas Reta has a +1 Str bonus and 1d6 extra from flaming. They're both using dogslicers so same crit multiplier.

Well, it's an automatic critical hit, so it comes down to this:

Reta: 2d4+4 +1d6 fire damage (+1 flaming dogslicer)
Chuffy: 2d4-2 +2d6 sneak attack (masterwork dogslicer)

Math says, Reta will do more average damage (and definitely way more minimum damage) on a coop de grace. ;-)

Chuffy can ready an attack with the trigger 'coop de grace done', though, we are still flanking...

Someone help an old geezer, do rogues in PF get their sneak dice on a coop de grace?

Yes, they do.

As a full-round action, you can use a melee weapon to deliver a coup de grace (pronounced “coo day grahs”) to a helpless opponent. You can also use a bow or crossbow, provided you are adjacent to the target. You automatically hit and score a critical hit. If the defender survives the damage, he must make a Fortitude save (DC 10 + damage dealt) or die.

A rogue also gets her extra sneak attack damage against a helpless opponent when delivering a coup de grace.
Delivering a coup de grace provokes attacks of opportunity from threatening opponents.
You can’t deliver a coup de grace against a creature that is immune to critical hits. You can deliver a coup de grace against a creature with total concealment, but doing this requires two consecutive full-round actions (one to “find” the creature once you’ve determined what square it’s in, and one to deliver the coup de grace).

Wielding the title Subchieftain of Dog Killing, Reta is eager to fulfill her duty.

"That's a job for me! But you others may help." Reta draws her magic dogslicer. "Fine, I'll be quiet."

Reta already rolled for Stealth, got a 22 here.

"What? Does that mean we won't have roasted pig for lunch? Then I want crunched chicken! They are over there, right?"

Reta points in the direction of the chicken coop, then slowly starts to move towards it, trying to not make noise...

Stealth - ACP: 1d20 + 10 - 3 ⇒ (15) + 10 - 3 = 22

Even the balloon-headed goblin? Asking for a friend...

;)

:-P

Reta takes one of the offered gourds... the ones that she overlooked in the shed.

Where were those hidden? I did not see any of them in there!

She whispers: "What are we gonna do about the pig? Roast it from all sides?"

Reta checks out the overgrown shed.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

Reta is a little bit hurt (3 fire damage) - she could use a bit of healing before starting the next combat...

"Ha! Told you I'd kill you good, stupid pig!"

Reta starts searching the boar, of course looking at the gourds first.

"Hey! Be careful, Chuffy, or you'll you damage my its stuff!"

I wonder if the boar has something else besides the armor and the gourds...
