Player’s Name: Zin Z'arin

Faction: Silver Crusade
Slow Tracking? Y/N: N
Day Job (Please roll now): TBD; may forego downtime for faction goal, depending on events in scenario

Player’s Name: Michael Hallet
Character’s Name: Rizzok
PFS #: 2608-17
Faction: Exchange
Slow Tracking? Y/N: N
Day Job (Please roll now):
Special Notes/Abilities: Nothing too unusual. He's an underground chemist rogue, so he adds his Int to splash weapon damage and he can draw a splash weapon like a normal weapon (so he can combine drawing one with a move action for example). He can't sneak attack with them however (that's the 4th level ability).
On a bit of an rp/tactical hybrid note, Rizzok, being a ratfolk from Druma aspires to follow the prophecies of Kallistrade. One of the ways this manifests in play is a resistance to close contact with others. In keeping with this, unless the situation is dire he will not willingly enter the square of another creature, even an ally.

Looks like we are low tier, and in need of some muscle. Therefore, I will submit Qillion Jones, here.
Player’s Name: PJP
Character’s Name: Qillian Jones
PFS #: 150786-16
Faction:[=/b] The Exchange
[b]Slow Tracking? Y/N: N
Day Job (Please roll now):
Special Notes/Abilities:
Qillion is basically an enforcer for hire, usually working on ships (often pirate vessels). He is handy with a whip, likes to smash things with his shield, and carries a variety of weapons to cut or stab. And if that doesn't work, he pees on them.
I have to tweak him a bit, because I see I have a chronicle I haven't yet applied, which will make him level 3. He was supposed to be a Lore Warden from here on out, but they changed that archetype and I am not sure it matches the original vision. So he will likely be a brawler 3, but I will clean him up tonight.
Oh, and I am not sure you are ready to start just yet, but I will be travelling Thurs thru Sunday, so very limited ability to post.
Welcome to PBP GMing!
So, this is how I’d like to run things:
- Block-ish initiative - when your "block" is up, anyone can post in any order before actions are resolved in initiative order in the GM summary/opposition post
- GM rolls initiative, casual/opposed perception checks, knowledge checks to identify opponents, and "opposed" saving throws
- Players roll attacks, damage, durations, "general" saving throws and individual skill checks
- Players with immediate actions/reactive actions (such as parry/riposte or counterspell mastery) should state conditions they want to trigger their abilities in a spoiler at the end of their post or posted in the Discussion thread
If you think something will be a problem (out of personal preference or experience), please let me know and we’ll figure out a solution. I want to keep things moving along since we have a hard deadline of Nov. 12 to finish by.
By my calculations, we could go high tier with 4-player adjustment based on character levels given on the spreadsheet. It's up the the party, but if we decide to go high tier remember that there are folks with lvl 1 and 2 characters.
@PJP - noted, and thanks! It looks like we're still waiting for some Session 1 games to finish up, so I don't think you're in any danger this weekend.
But on that note, please have a botting policy in your character profile. I will only bot a character if we're in combat and it's been over 24 hours of silence from a player or if a player specifically asks me to. Again, we have a hard deadline.

I would recommend resolving in posted order rather than strict initiative order as if the people who posted later delayed for those who posted sooner. It's too easy to invalidate an earlier PC's actions.
(PC A casts fireball. PC B (who has a higher initiative than PC A) didn't realize what player A was doing for some reason and wanders into the area the fireball will hit later in that block. Now, unless the player of PC B gives explicit permission to be fireballed, PC A has to retcon his turn due to the no PvP rule.)

So far everyone has checked in with level 1 or 2 PCs. I am not willing to play up with this character, so if people want high tier, I will either need to switch PCs or drop out.

Greetings friends! I see that we have some confusion with the party combination and what tier to play.
I will begin by saying that I signed up with my 2nd level alchemist, because he is technically still Shadow Lodge (is the way I roleplay him), and would love to run him through this scenario.
However, I am more than happy to bring the following.
lvl 4 Kinetecist
lvl 4 Psychich (has knowledges and skills...)
lvl 3 Monk
If we want to push things into high tier. I am not going to play this with my lvl 2 playing up, sorry. Hehe. I am cool with anything though.
I will sign up with character details after we decide.

Thank you for your wisdom, no doubt earned by too many quantum fireballs. Posting order within block initiative it is!
And it sounds like folks want to go low tier, so let's do that!
Looking good everyone! I think I'm ready to get started, so once OG3 has a character available we can get this show on the road!
Also, remember to have your entire character sheet available in your character’s profile page and basic statistics next to your name in your posts. A botting policy (either here or on your profile page) is also required. Feel free to ask me for more details or assistance.
The division of Session I and Session II will only matter to those GMing the specials. (link)
Based on the Gameday VII thread (quote is from the second post), I believe we're fine to start whenever all participants are ready. And I'd love to give y'all some breathing room for roleplaying (and myself more time to prepare posts as we go along).
That being said, if anyone needs to wait please post it here! We'll begin play by Oct. 1 at the latest.
We're still waiting for one of OG3's characters to be available too, so no rush.
In the meantime, please check out the Maps and Handouts. In particular, find the second slide and move your icons to the spaces above in "typical" marching order.

Checking in for OG3
Player’s Name: OG3
Character’s Name: Bennett Florence
PFS #: 175185-10
Faction: Grand Lodge
Slow Tracking? Y/N: N
Day Job (Please roll now): none
Special Notes/Abilities: Typically fire from range. Full-round action to have up a Mirror Image as per Shadow Double class ability. It is persistent so I will raise it as a default action unless I suggest otherwise.
Bot strike: [dice=MW Darkwood Composite Bow]d20+5; d8+3[!dice]
And our last player has checked in! Folks have 24 hours to post if they need more time before we start - otherwise, we'll arrive in Daggermark tomorrow!
Again, please make sure your "marching" order is correct in the Maps and Handouts slides, shopping's done, name's spelled correctly, and all that jazz.
Kyras, could you shoot me a PM?
In the top right corner of the page, you should see a "My Account" tab. Clicking it opens a dropdown menu. Select "Private Messages" from there.
@Kyras, I don’t use Discord, and I would rather not put my private contact information in a public forum. I’m confused about how you got your alchemist’s Will save so high - could you walk me through the calculations? If nothing else, I want to see if I can duplicate the effect on my own builds.
@Feelo, I’d love to, but whenever I look at Kyras’s profile page the usual “Send a Private Message” option is missing.
I don't see any other useful action for Feelo to take at this point in time. Could another heal check help? Is Bosk rolling saves every round? If so, Feelo can administer another Bit of Luck, but otherwise I'd rather not waste that; it's a limited resource.
Mostly just to clarify that the antitoxin has already been given. Were you referring to the delay poison potion in your post?
Noted. Please include bot-ing instructions in your character profile before you depart (if possible), and have fun!
Just to confirm my suspicions, but does anybody have both Spellcraft and Detect Magic? Or some way to identify magic items that are not potions or scrolls?
This is a little bit hilarious to me. Also, is anyone going to go inside the safehouse?
Bennett let's himself in if unimpeded. He ushers the rest to follow and closes the door behind them. Has anyone else come to the safehouse? When was your last interaction with Bosk?
In case anyone has any objections to this course of action, I'll wait for someone to second the motion before proceeding.
