So I looked into the rules this is a doozy! I have pulled the relevant selections and bolded appropriate text.
True Strike
You gain temporary, intuitive insight into the immediate future during your next attack. Your next single attack roll (if it is made before the end of the next round) gains a +20 insight bonus. Additionally, you are not affected by the miss chance that applies to attackers trying to strike a concealed target.
Mirror Image
An attacker must be able to see the images to be fooled. If you are invisible or an attacker shuts his or her eyes, the spell has no effect. (Being unable to see carries the same penalties as being blinded.)
Blinded: All opponents are considered to have total concealment (50% miss chance) to the blinded character.
so 1st Hammurabi closes his eyes, thus an attacker shuts his or her eyes, the spell has no effect.
He is blinded and suffers a total concealment penalty.
BUT true strike is in effect which means: you are not affected by the miss chance that applies to attackers trying to strike a concealed target.
SO I get a +1 Master Work weapon, +1 BAB, +2 STR, +20 Insight. I suffer a -4 NWP penalty still netting me an attack with Indo's temple swor at +20 that ignores concealment because I have shut my eyes... and put my faith into the Rainbow Serpent's divinations and the power of Indo's Temple Sword...
Rob, Guys is this how you see this attack taking place...It sure is a interesting issue and maybe one the Beta guys want to look at...

Which is why I posted a thread asking others about it. But hey! it is a playtest, after all. I think, by the spirit of the rules (as opposed to RAW), true strike should allow you to successfully hit someone with mirror image. While mirror image does not technically provide a miss chance (as from concealment), it does make you roll randomly to see whether you hit the target or an image. Which is, IMO, a "miss chance."
Otherwise, by RAW, you just close your eyes and go from there, as discussed in the thread, which is pretty silly in my opinion.
I agree, but in a way it enhances the divination aspect of true strike, the Rainbow serpent has let me see where the real ssnake lady is, now I close my eyes and go on the vision I got....Kinda cool when you justify it that way....

Sounds good to me! :)
(Then again, it looks like she won't have an image to worry about next round...)

I liked your ideas, the way that the idols and animals and demons were involved made the scenario feel a bit different.
I didn't enjoy the writing style, especially at the beginning. It all seemed a little clipped and matter-of-fact to me. That Intro had the phrase "storm coming" and that made me think Terminator/Sci-Fi straight away.
The only other thing that stood out for me was that I didn't really care about the characters. Maybe you should spend a little more time making the NPC's come to life so that everyone wants to find out what happens to them?
Overall I preferred your ideas to some of the otehrs I read, and being creative is the hardest part. Well done.
You can do the same for mine in a day or two on Call no. 19, Please.
Cheers

Hey guys, I'm leaving on Sunday to spend the holidays with my family in the US. Unfortunately, internet access there is dial-up and spotty at best, so I'm going to put the game on hold during the holidays. I'll be back around January 5, so check back in around that time to continue.
Feel free to discuss amongst yourselves how to divide the treasure and what your next step(s) will be.
Good luck to those of you who entered the RPG Superstar contest.
Have a Happy Holidays, a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year! :)
Hey Rob, enjoy your holidays in the States!

Rob, and all of you:
I am grateful for the good friends brought by gaming, and for fun brought by great games. May God keep you safe as you all travel, and I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas. It'll be great to pick back up again in January.
When we should...get...eeps? : }
Alright, just in case anyone is interested, I had a wonderful weekend in NYC with my wife. (See Wicked if you get the chance. I don't know how it differs with the book, but how they respun the Wizard of Oz was fantastic.) Got back, spent most of Monday at work, and then spent the rest of the week in bed with the nastiest stomach flu I've ever had. I'm in the process of catching up on all sorts of fronts, so please bear with me. I should be back in the flow within the next 24h.
Rob, have a fantastic holiday. Best of everything to you and your family, and thanks so much for running our game. I'll be around, once I catch up, in case anyone is interested.

Merry Christmas Chaps.
I'm trying to keep on top of the games but I'm running a very silly game next Saturday (where the PC's get shrunk by a wizard and must escape his tower to grow back) so posting may be spotty until after that.
Billzabub I hear you on the illness front, yours sounds much worse than mine was.
All the Best.
Rob - all the best on holiday and thanks for a great game. That little snake wriggling on the floor was naughty. I loved it.
Cheers

Merry Christmas to everyone. Perhaps you all can help me decide something. I'm going to be entering the Superstar contest this year (with all you guys being published I can't NOT enter I fear), but I've got two wondrous items finished that I could enter. So my question is... WHICH ONE?????
Number 1 or number 2. I'm not sure if I can tell what the items are, but one is a book and the other is something that I've never seen anywhere.

Dude..I am SO barely published. : }
I am happy to take a look-see if you want to email me your items. You can take or ignore anything I say in your final version.
You can also trust that I am down to my final six items and I won't be starting any new ones over based on your ideas. : }

Hello gents,
A belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all. Thanks for the congrats for the module - hopefully people will like it. I'm back, but I'm still catching up with things, and I'll be pretty busy over the next few weeks, trying to finish writing my module as well as guest-judging for RPG Superstar. So let's get back into the game, but I probably won't get be able to post every day until the end of the month, so it'll be a slow start.
Chime in if you're here, and let me know what you guys want to do next. Feel free to ask me questions, discuss ideas with each other, etc. Let's get back to Iskandria!

I'd like to sell the items we found.
Selling stuff and using the gold to buy more stuff :)

Patience, grasshoppers, XP will be forthcoming. Selling loot and buying new things is up to you.
Also, looks like we've probably lost Radavel playing Liet. Since you probably want to keep a cleric around, I'll put out a call if anyone wants to take over his character, since that will be easier than introducing another new character. Anyone know anybody interested in taking over a character?
Kevin Mack, are you still around?

Looks like another one of our players has joined the illustrious ranks of Paizo contributors:
Hello and welcome to another installment of the Pathfinder Society Scenario Open Call. Last week I selected the authors for scenarios #21 and #22 and they are, respectively: C. Robert Brown (The Eternal Obelisk) and Larry Wilhelm (Fingerprints of the Fiend). Congratulations, guys!
Congrats, Larcifer! Looking forward to seeing the module. :)

I feel lonely...
Congrats Larcifer!
Congrats, Larcifier, and don't feel too lonely, Tio. I'll probably be the last one standing, since I haven't submitted anything.
Thanks for the well wishes guys! Ahhh to be peers of the Rob's and Steven's LOL!!!!!!!
No sweat, and thanks for the head's up. (ooh, it's quite a switch being on this side of things.)
