Going into the deep jungle looking for a lost temple sounds like a great start to me. Stuff I would like to see well after the temple stuff I always really wanted to fight dinosaurs never got a chance to.
I'm going to be gone for a week, but I'll still try to check in once a day. If I fall behind I nominate Grusk to handle my actions.

Hey how did I get that nomination?
No problem I will mention you with my posts!
So we've already lost a member of our squad in Denison, do we have a preference for either of the two canidates in the recruitment thread??
Would have to talk to them to have any thing to say on them
New recruit checking in. Any advice on charcter idea based on party make up? Im leaning towards Druid at the moment.
also where can I find some background info on the world/location?
Druid is cool. We are in the jungle looking for a temple in Sargava. Cool to have you aboard.
Thanks Kaavel. Druid it is then. Looks like a good fit all around. I'll start making my character now.
If you are a local druid, than chances are high that you and Darkbiter would have known each other before joining the Steel Wolves.
I'm going to go with big and angry. Guess our defenses will get a good test run.
How about snakes? Say a constrictor with some venomous ones with it. Those would be the most likely to get past all the stuff we keep building.
New post is up, also Delgado has had to pull out due to over extending himself, which I can relate to!
I'd like to welcome Stiehl9 to the game and the squad. Just hit me up when your character sheet is ready.
Also any suggestions for what kind of animal is about to run through your camp?
LOL, you don't already know?? if not, ask the other two squads, little more fun and surprising that way
Elephants go away easy if you got people who know what they are doing. Since we have a lot of natives from the area with us they would know tricks for that. Unless you just want the elephants to bug us and not fight.
We were still working on watch Cort took first watch though sitting in front of a tree. We made holes around camp I do not know if we filled them with spikes or not but I know we made spikes. We also made poles that we put around the camp that we lined with rope that we put bells on them. We also made latrines. That is all I really remember that is why I said snakes I figured was only thing short of a HUGE animal or a flying animal that could get past that A without being overly hurt or B us not noticing.
@Darkbiter - I liked your idea of us having already known each other so I wrote that into my background and I'll expand on that soon.
Awesome I am not the only half-elf anymore.
I was picturing a trench around the camp with pikes around most of the inside edge and a string with bells on the outside of the trench. The trench also is doubling as latrine so probably pretty nasty at the bottom.
As for the animals, the stock elephant has 11 HD, so unless they started out almost dead, even a single one would be a bit much, to say the least. Something more along the lines of what we could handle would be an injured rhinoceros (8 HD) being chased by an similarly injured tiger (6 HD), something that would also match the description thus far.
If we have multiple people on watch, which we could pull off, one could be on either side of the camp, with most of the tents, or at least all of the tents being used by our employers, near the middle inside another series of spiked holes/latrines, with the porters spread out near this inner ring, a big campfire in the middle of the camp, and 2 smaller campfires on either side. Our own gear and tents would be spread out between the porters and the outer defenses. Anybody object to this for a setup? It protects our employers a lot, and the porters a fair bit, and gives everyone a place to cook their meal without bumping heads, and a fair bit of light for those without darkvision or low light vision.
No idea how high the ropes are exactly but at least high enough to not touch the plants is what I am getting from the post about them setting it up. So it might be 2 or so feet off the ground most likely min of 2 max of 3.
I would not put he latrines inside the camp at all. For health reason you understand and stuff I do not think it was done. Otherwise sounds good.

I would guess about knee height for the average human to optimize tripping potential for bipeds and decapitation capability, or at least entangling capability, for 4 legged animals. So 2 to 3 feet sounds about right.

Actually it was. In the Civil War, at least, latrines were often dug right by the tents, thus causing disease and sickness to be a bigger killer than battle injuries.
Did not know they did that in the Civil War. Well at least we will know our characters will be smarter than the soldiers from the Civil War and dug their latrines outside of camp.
Cort and I took first watch, you said it's third I think, and I believe the idea was to have our Half-Orc squadmates on watch during the darkest part of the night, to take advantage of their Darkvision.
As Blaze is a seasoned mercenary, he sleeps lightly. I figure as soon as the loud noises got decently close to the camp, he'd wake up.
Probably not outside the camp; the ditch would likely be protection and latrine at the same time. Best way to balance health hazard of the latrine and health hazard of going outside the camp defenses by oneself.
Darkbiter is also a light sleeper due to necessity, so the crashing noise would be enough to wake him up as well.
Cort & Blaze were on first, Darkbiter was second, so that leaves Grusk and Doc for 3rd.
Thats what Blaze said. Remember Doc left so Grusk will be Doc to.
Evening Steel Wolves, this is Krathok from the Crimson Kings.
Pentor has asked if I would be interested in co-DMing, and I've given a provisional yes, as long as it works out. As I can't DM for the Kings, and Sargava is more appealing to me than Ustalav - I've indicated that I could help out DMing the Steel Wolves.
Putting this up to sound out if you guys would be interested in that possibility?
I'm fairly active during the working week, and since I'm at GMT+8 means that my prime posting time is directly opposite when Pentor seems to be able to get online.
It is alright with me.
It works for me.
whoo-hoo!! I was hopin we'd get a co-GM, lol
Thanks for the welcome, I'm just waiting on Pentor's ok via email before weighing in :)
Thanks for having me. Nice to be in an active game.
I took third watch and posted accordingly.
Doc - could you please update your languages known in your profile?
Kaavel - I note that you've taken Profession, but haven't noted which - could you update your profile please?
Sorry about that can he be a tanner?
Sure - call it a leatherworker, and it'll cover skinning, curing and working leather / pelts.
Okay thanks.
Squad 1 and 2 have both done this and I think we should as well:
1) Character built up in profile - Pentor has pretty much ok'ed PFS rules as a starter, though you should get DM fiat on any specifics.
2) Squad role
3) Are you a recent hire, or have you been in the squad a while
4) Put down some roleplay fluff that your squadmates will know about your character, so that we can act like a unit once we go operational
one and 2 should be pretty much done, but 3 and 4 would be nice to help out.
1) Blaze is definitely finished, though he lacks gear and a history. I am still working on the background, as I want to read the Qadira book
2) Quick-Strike fighter.
3) Been in the squad for awhile, if possible, over a year.
4) Blaze is a devout worshiper of Sarenrae and is still a kid at heart somewhat, since he didn't really have one growing up. Also, he can talk non-stop if he's really excited, which hasn't happened in game, yet.
We did squad role awhile ago. There is a list somewhere about this even said that the squad is a every mobile squad got a really wolf pack feel.
