... the GM mentions that's it's going to be an infiltration style scenario and there is a treesinger druid with a large treant and a hunter with a mammoth in fullplate who refuse to leave their companions behind.Hey! >:(Dont worry. I still love you. So does the succubus.
My table however is traumatized for life.
It took me a minute before I realised you meant your actual table, not the group of players at your table. >_> And I'm sorry!
(For the ones who don't know, I accidentally glued my mini to Woran's table, and took a bit of a souvenir when I managed to pry it loose.)
Haha, its ok, really! My table has seen worse but I hope I did confuse some forum people with my previous post :P

You set up your GM screen; your module is printed and highlighted for the important bits; you've printed out every important NPC's character sheet; you've pre-signed all of the Chronicle sheets.
Then you look over the table as the players place their miniatures. Six combat-trained Tigers to go with the six players. And an eidolon (bipedal skill monkey). And two familiars (oh, but they're non-combat). And three horses. Then, two of the casters have five various "Summon Monster" scrolls they're letting you know about ahead of time.
What you thought was going to be a relatively enjoyable GM'ing session can now be compared to a football team trampsing through a scenario.
-- Steve Mulhern
Each character is only allowed one familiar/ companion/ eidilon/ pet, at the table per mod.

The character you wanted to play sees another character at the table, stops Mid character introduction, and abruptly utters "Excuse me." and leaves. You put away that character and bring out another because the former character told that witch "I am never adventuring with you again." after his Axe Beak was killed by his Black Tentacles. He is an Ifrit of his word.

And yet we still tried to convince that character that he really wasn't the same witch!

Your GM is running the Enigma Vaults......and everyone is level 3.
Nope, one level 3 PC, three level 4 pregens, one GMNPC, the other two because the players don't have characters in that range...
Level 3 was an archer (Urban Ranger/wannabe rogue)
Level 4 pregens: Kyra, Crowe, and Sajan...
Cleric, Bloodrager and Monk...
And I kept forgetting the Bloodrager had uncanny dodge, so...
Well, I notified my players, and am waiting to hear back from them on how we want to handle this mess.

.... the summoner tells the GM they just bought a few bags of itching powder to use as material components to use with glitterdust.......
That reminds me, I need to pick up a few bags of glitter before GenCon.
"I cast Glitterdust."
"Ok, where's it centered?"
"HERE!" Dumps a pile of glitter on the map
If I do this right, I could probably make every PFS player in the building look like sparkly vampires before the weekend is out! :)

That reminds me... memorize gust of wind if Tiger Lily is at my table.
COUGH!
Oh, sorry, did you just get coated in your own glitter?

The Life Oracle (after already being unconscious and dying once) says to the party, "You guys really need to keep me alive."
The party consists of a barbarian, witch, wizard, gunslinger and alchemist.
I run a lot of alchemists... and I don't even understand this post.
My alchemists often keep many of the people at the table alive. Heck, one of them (the one I am posting as) normally hands out Breath of Life Infusions in Poisoners gloves, so that the barbarian can charge across the table and hit the (just died) PC with a BoL...
Barbarian: "So, what do I need to hit the prone, DEX zero, body? with my +2 from the charge?"
|
The GM bought a GM screen.
I finally caved and bought one the other week. Two nights ago I showed up and was telling the players I'd finally be able to hit them and even get some crits. ;) Half way through the scenario when we got to the first combat I rolled 3 crits in my first 4 attacks and was hitting most of the night as opposed to my normal rolls of 5's or lower.

Breath of Life infusions? I can't find it on the Alchemist's list...Not your normal alchemist.
Correct sir!
Got it in one.and almost as fun as Detonate infusions (got to remember to drink the Protection from Energy Extract before using those)

Soooo...fun story. I have a character that has glitterdust as a spell-like ability. My party was fighting a vampire caster who had turned himself invisible. Solution = Cast Glitterdust!
Five seconds later... "You realize you just made us fight a sparkly vampire, right?"

When in a party with 2!? rogues, and the answer to "How do we get past a locked door" is "You're playing the fighter, you bash it down", and the answer to "How do we find traps" is "You're the fighter, you have 22 hit points, you walk in front and we will walk 30 feet back." and the answer to "I'm playing a fighter what classes have you guys got?" is "rogue, So am I, What a coincidence"

Do you really not understand the irony of a life oracle asking non healers to keep them alive? I appreciate that you enjoy running a somewhat obscure archetype that is not pertinent to my post, but I fail to see how that would prevent your comprehension of my contribution.

I just don't see the irony. Any game where you have one primary healer, the players need to keep him alive. Why is there irony in stating the obvious?
If there had been no one else at the table who can (insert anything) then you will need to insure that the only PC who can do that one needed thing is kept alive.

Actually, staying conscious with a life oracle can be harder than it sounds. If you've got party of 5 or 6 taking area damage, that's 20 to 25 damage per turn through life link. At low and medium levels, it can add up!
Area of effect damage is what puts Life Oracles down. The Oracle takes the damage -and- gets the damage over life link. Knowing exactly when to sever and which links to sever is an important skill for the player.
Edit: There are some useful magic items for such an oracle, such as the Aegis of Recovery.

Yup. After The Cyphermage Dilemma, my Paladin maintains an actual list of other Pathfinders that she refuses to adventure with again. Sarenrae Herself would have to appear and insist on it before she'll adventure with the Worst Druid Ever, Captain Idiot, and Killer McKills-a-lot. /facepalm

I've adventured with at least two of those...

Worst Druid Ever
Hey, they all had bows, pointed at us, I figured obscuring mist would save us from becoming pin-cushions! And how was I supposed to know I'd actually end up using Stone Call in that last fight? I can't just prepare Mass Featherstep every day on the off chance my domain choice actually turns out to be useful.
