And that Venture Captain is Drandle Dreng....the venture captain asks you to go find him coffee.

Why must he wake me at night, after a hard day's work at my inn?
The party consists of nothing but sorcerers specializing in creating pits.....

Sheila Heidmarch just asked us to carry some boxes with golems in them for her. Whew! I was really worried we'd have to do something dangerous today. Dodged that bullet.

Sheila Heidmarch asked me to infiltrate an evil cult for her. Little did she know, I LOVE evil cults.
There are no snacks on the table, and the fridge is equally empty.

There was the occasional application of toppling spell by the mystic theurge but otherwise that was it. I was rather concerned when the level 7 sorcerers first action in the first fight was to cast acid splash...The only two characters in tier for a 6-7 playing-up scenario are casting magic missile as their go-to spell of choice.I'm assuming that's without metamagic? Because you can do some rather silly things with metamagic enhanced magic missiles.
I'm surprised that a level 7 has been through so little/been carried so much that they think they can get away with magic missiling and acid splashing everything.

I wonder if this is the same 7th level sorceress I ran whose first action in the first fight was to cast Ray of Frost. She didn't get a second action.

Agree, but that's in support of other good melee characters. We had one out-of-tier melee character (mine) that was a Dirty Trick build (which I stated before we started).
I should really correct my statement though because I didn't learn that these casters had magic missile as their main schtick. "You know you're in trouble when you are in the first around of combat and..."

...and your "frontliners" are an Elf Rogue with 6 Con, and a Gnome Fighter, who maxed Intelligence, dumped strength, and fights with a Warhammer, along with a Half-Elf Sorcerer, who loves to go into melee.
Oh, and they all ask the Warpriest to stay back, and heal, because, "that's what Clerics do".

After my game yesterday I would say the Lv2 up playing character decides to buff himself offensively and says I can ignore these little AoOs and used Actions to lower his AC...
Even though the scenario managed to kick him into the negatives (well lowering his AC by 4 really did not help), I am pretty sure, that this player bathes his dice in the blood of unholy virgin kittens... still I think my suggestion of using his action (while on two HP, standing next to the Boss(I still stand by my suggestion, that Full Defense would have been the right call... but if course he attacks and crits the enemy leader into the negatives).

When yer in the big bad's face, keep smashing while screaming PRAISE GORUM!
Oddly enough, it seems to work well for me.

When it turns out the Barbarian is the healer of the party and the cleric is the rogue of the group.

When every single person simultainiously asks the GM if they can pick the pockets of the entire group and run for it.

Uh, this happens all the time where I play. It's never a problem; rather, it's the norm. Having an actual healer is pretty rare, in fact....the phrase "I've got a wand" is said after someone asks "Do we have a healer?"This has happened. In a 7-9 scenario no less. *Shudder*
It's why I have a pretty high percentage of healers in my PC list, including non-PFS ones. When I joined PFS I find I play the healer more than anything else.
Can also lead to being mobbed at queue for cons.

"You know you're in trouble when you get to the table and..."
Each of the players at the table have a slave and they are going to be working for an NPC that is part of Liberty's Edge this evening.

I prefer the term, indentured servitude. Besides, if they don't sign my contract, I couldn't guarantee their safety from the other members of my group. Now, my currently one servant, lives in my summertime mansion, occasionally doing errands for me, with no one to chastise him for being a goblin!
When everyone is toting a 5e player's handbook and looking confused at the PF GM screen.
When it is five minutes before the session and people are frantically scribbling on character sheets.
