3-4 Hours!Sorry but the advancement is absolute complete in my mind.
I will have it done essentially as soon as the chronicle sheet arrives :-)

I've been thinking about it, changing it , changing it again. I am ready to go and will adjust tings numbers today.
I do have a question about needed gear. Is this a warm or cold location? Are we going to need any form of transportation or money for transportation, such as a horse or wagon? Is there anything you feel we need for the module?
Ting is buying darkleaf lamellar armor and the "exotic masterwork bastard sword" he found in the crypt, so I'm working money down to little left.
the easy answer: I will be ready to go when the party is, and again Baerlie, Thanks!
Well, the module is set in "the small town of Belhaim... a sleepy rural community just off the beaten path" in northern Taldor, so think England in terms of climate :-)
As to appropriate equipment, buy whatever you want - modules have a habit of providing you with the right tools to do the job at hand, so don't sweat about it too much.

You are welcome :)
Yes, as far as I read the module (not finished at the moment) it's not extremely hot or cold. And this module is a bit different from TGH, you return to Belhaim between the quests as far as I found out. And it's about tripple in length I think.
It's the first time I'm running a module of this style so bear with me. You start with your level 2 clones of your PFS characters and we play the medium advancement track, which means you already have 2000 XP at the start of the module. I think this should work out.
I'm going to prepare the maps and quests and finish reading the module in the next days so we can start as soon as possible :)
I will need a day to make an alias for and advance my regular character. Apologies for the delay, it is going to be a busy day at work for me.
That should be okay - it's not like we will get into a combat in the first (real-world) day, right? ;-)
Got it.. all is fine.
Got it, working on an alt now. (Will probably shorten his name to Alex Virden for sake of this adventure, but he will respond to either in game).
First time advancing my character, so given we are rolling off of PFS standard rules do I get max HP for advancement or do I have to roll?
During first level you have a freeby. You can sell all at full prize back.
And please do not hesitate to buy wands. Maybe an enlarge wand for hans, an reduce person for ting etc....
I meant more using prestige points for wands. And buying the wand and give it to me so that I can use it. Just check the bards spelllist. Better wands I do not have to umd

ok, I'm going to have to study up on prestige points, I'll read up and get what I can, is healing better or enlarge?
edit: if I read this right, I can spend two prestige points to buy a 750 gp item, like a first level wand for bards. so how do I go about buying a wand of cure light wounds, is just informing GM Baerlie enough?
@GM Baerlie I Would like to use two prestige points to buy a wand of cure light wounds. Mua Ha Ha
You can take one healing, I just saw enlarge is not on my spell list. You buy it, and I will use it to heal you. I will keep track on it and inform you at the end of the adventure how many charges remain.
@Hans.
Do you know a decent Bard archetype. I seek the supporter build, so inspire courage would be great. Also, as we lack Knowledges I prefer to keep loremaster. And it should work with the fluff. Was thinking about lotus geisha

As I said earlier, still sorting out what to spend my fortune on... thinking maybe bracers of armor or whatnot... but not going to use PP prior... or boons during (treating as an independant snapshot of my lvl 2 pathfinder character, not my actual lvl 2 pathfinder character... so I think that using my boons would be kind of cheating... not saying it is, just that I feel like it would be) but will be using my sheets for exotic equipment purchases prior.
I am tempted to drop escape artist for something more usable (like climb or another knowledge) prior to fully "officially" advancing. Anyone find that Escape Artist becomes more usable later on?
Might be a bit delayed, work really has picked up a bit the last few days, but hoping to have everything finalized by either tonight my time (8-9 hours or so) and be ready to begin.
One final question, are we grabbing a 5th for this or are we good as we are? If not, probably will invest in potions of cure wounds if allowed.

I think you are good as you are. The module is created for four players and with Hans you are already 5.
Take your time, Alex!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but...
First: if we don't use the official PFS rules, but play with our own GM rules and character clones means, that everything you buy during this module with GP you collected in this module is gone after the game. If you buy gear with GP from your official character's account it stays with your character after the game. What happens to wand charges for example, if you buy a wand for PP and use it in this module, are the charges restored after the game, because we did not play an official PFS game with official PFS characters, only "for PFS credit"?
Second: If this is not an official PFS game can you still rework your character after this game before applying the first chronicle of this module, because you did not officially play your first level 2 game?
Alright, technically, since we are playing in campaign mode, anything we do in this module has no effect on our PFS characters - so any gold we spend, for example, does not track back, and we could change our PCs however we wished.
With regard to spending prestige points, if we 'spent' them, they would come back (since they technically have not officially been spent), but since this is a home game, our GM would be perfectly within her rights to say that we *can't* use prestige to make purchases (since she could say that for the purposes of the game, prestige does not exist).

I think you are good as you are. The module is created for four players and with Hans you are already 5.
If Hans counts as two I think ting only counts as 3/4 so were at 4 3/4 right?
if you cannot tell by my superfluous comments I have extra time on my hands. So, whichever way we are running it (I think I understand the differences, thank you by the way) if we need someone to track items/gold I can do that pretty easily on a spread sheet which I could post to tings description, so we could all see what was in the kitty.
Then we could divide it up at a convenient time, hopefully with someone that has a higher charisma than ting selling it to the merchants. I'm not saying we should be sexist and ask Felicitas to do all the shopping but lets face it, sorry Hans, your not much prettier than ting :( Appraise is an intelligence check so Hans would be better at it than ting, I guess that's why he values items based on "shiny"
Or we could just keep what we carry. As ting dumps his waterskin out to stuff gems in the neck :-)
@ GM Baerlie: Last question, do we need to buy animals for transportation to get there or will that happen some other way? Ting has a problem with horses and would prefer a donkey, just in case.
ok, almost ready... going to grab that amulet of natural armor (+1) from my confirmation sheet. Will add to my lists in the morning... will place me to 193 gold for the adventure, :)
@Alexos: I recommend picking-up a wand for healing, at the very least (everyone else has; Hans bought two!)- we are going to be playing a module designed to take you from 1st to 6th level, and we don't have a dedicated healer...
eeeek... just looked at the prices for them... Alexos can't afford one. :( I will just have to not get hit.

Once per session, you can acquire any single item of this cost or less from your faction by spending the appropriate number of Prestige Points. Items purchased this way are worth 0 gp and cannot be sold.
Can I buy two wands? I assumed since it said "once per session" I could only buy one now. If I can buy two I will spend the other two points on a second wand.
At work again, posting at nights.
@ Alex or is it T.E.D. over here, I sympathize, I'm fortunate enough to take my lap top to work with me, and can be readily on line 6 0f 8 hours, where I work is fairly relaxed unless something stupid happens.
My apologies for having fallen off the grid for the last few days. My work has moving from one building to another and has been having us help with the moving of everything we will need in our new location.
Suffice to say, I have been unable to post while at work and have been coming home late in the evening, tired and fried. I hope to be able to catch up on what has been happening in my games this weekend. If not I will update my status to reflect it.
Feel free to bot me if necessary, I do not want to hold up progress. I really am sorry for both my not being here and me taking this long to even post a generic message.
Regards,
-The Emerald Duke
Translation: MW Thieves' Tools (100gp) should definitely be available ;-)
