A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for level 1-2.
Almost all Pathfinders undergo extensive training for three or more years to learn the tricks of the trade, and their last test before graduating from the ranks of the initiates to the status of a full Pathfinder agent is the Confirmation, a special research project that involves considerable fieldwork and is designed to simulate the initiates' future work as a Pathfinder. Even the noteworthy field commissioned agents sometimes participate in such trials as a way to familiarize themselves with the Pathfinder Society’s rules and expectations. Although Confirmation is typically an individual affair, the society recently discovered a site on the Isle of Kortos that would be perfect for initiates but perhaps too dangerous to handle alone. Successfully uncovering this site’s secrets will not only contribute to the society’s body of knowledge but shape the exciting careers ahead for each of the prospective agents.
This game will be run as a part of the Second Official Pathfinder Society PbP Game Day. All games will begin on April 5th, 2014. For more information click here.

Hi GM, I wanted to let you know that I need to back out of this game. This gameday is huge, and I got more characters committed than I expected to. Since this is one I've played before, I wanted to step down so I can focus on the others. Thanks for the opportunity to play, Good luck with the game, everyone!
Welcome!
I apologize for not posting my character, yet. I was waiting to see what others wanted to play, to determine if we need a frontliner or some healing power. I'll have something posted by starting day; though.
Still waiting for the scenario to arrive on my downloads page. I'll try to put some preliminary stuff up on Saturday morning but we won't begin the game in earnest until Monday, April 7th.

….and away we go! A few bookkeeping items as we get started:
1. Please make sure your PFS # is somewhere in your profile. If you'd prefer not to display it publicly you can PM it to me.
2. Please put the following information in the class/level section of your profile: Class Level (archetype) - HP - AC: /T: /FF: - Perception - F: / R: /W: - CMB - CMD - Speed - Init.
3. Faction Missions are no longer given out and a secondary success condition must be met in order to earn that second prestige point.
4. My expectation is that everyone will post at least once every 24 hours during the weekdays. I plan to update the game each morning between 6am and 8am US Eastern Time. If you haven't posted by then I reserve the right to act on behalf of your character.
5. I will be using Google Drive (formerly Google Docs) for all maps. Everyone will have the appropriate permissions to move their own tokens; but if you're posting from a tablet or a phone and are unable to do so just describe as best as you can where you want to move and either I or one of the other players will move your token for you.
6. My assumption is that everyone "Takes 10" on passive rolls like Perception when exploring areas and searching for loot.
7. When combat begins I will roll initiative for the group and post an initiative order.

Just wanted to add: I'm not an english native speaker. If I say something weird, it's probably not my intention (btw, don't hesitate if you want to correct something I wrote; it's something that, in fact, I really appreciate; it's the only way to learn).
I'm trying to give Seinto an "oldish" way of speaking, hope it works...
I apologize, everyone, for the delay on my part. I've never participated in a PbF via the Paizo forums, and I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out how to make a profile for my character for this game. Once that's sorted out, I'll get to posting.
No worries..we're still waiting for one more player to check in...I'll move the story along tomorrow morning.
So dumb question, what is the dotting for? Is that to add you to the character thread? Thanks! Deane, please let me know what else I need to do for you or what I might need to correct
"Dotting" makes you a contributor to the conversation and puts a "dot" next to the subject line that you see when you're browsing posts. When you post in the gameplay thread of a campaign you'll be prompted when there are updates to thread via your Campaign tab.
In short if you bookmark your campaigns page all of the games you're participating in will show up...and you'll see an indication if someone else has posted in the thread since you posted last.
Sorry guys just got back from a work trip, had to leave early and still have work to catch up on, i'll be caught up by tomorrow!
You could withdraw...or you could kill one of the skeletons and take a five foot step afterward to make room for your brethren.

Nathan, you can take a 5-foot step without AoO: http://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/combat#TOC-Take-5-Foot-Step
My action depends on whether you take it or not.
My other game finished this week...I've got two folks from that game hoping to run through First Steps Part 1. If anyone here has another 1st level character or wants to run a pregen just raise your hand and I'll send you the link. It will be part of the game day and will be eligible for boons!
Hop on over if you want..even if you play a pregen at least you can apply to credit to a future character. I don't imagine it will take very long at all...
Another job well done...well nearly done anyway!
In order to report the event to PbP HQ I'll need the following info:
Your real name
Your email address
If you'd rather not post your real name and email publicly you can PM it to me. In the absence of real names I'll just turn in whatever name you use for your main Paizo ID.
Once we're done I'll roll for boons in this thread; and I'll do so alphabetically by your character's first name. If your roll comes up 20 you get the boon of your choice, if it comes up 1 you get a random boon. My assumption is that boons will be delivered via email at the close of the entire game day.
Wow. Survival was touch and go for a while at the end there; but I kind of like that it turned out that way. You are supposedly "beginning" Pathfinders...so the thought of a shiny Paladin who puts himself in harms way but having trouble hitting his target and a poor fighter floating downstream just seems appropriate! Stories you can all tell in the tavern for ages to come!
I'll get chronicle sheets out and roll for boons ASAP.
Boon Rolls
...and Amaranti wins a random boon! Feel free to roll a d4 at your leisure and I'll let you know which one you've won.
Mendevian Weapon Training: Queen Galfrey of Mendev understands both that poorly equipped crusaders are of little use to the ongoing war against demonkind and that an inadequately trained crusader cannot make effective use of good equipment. As a result, those who dedicate themselves to the Fifth Crusade have access to training and equipment that might not otherwise be available. When you would be permitted a Day Job check, you may instead spend 4 Prestige Points to receive intensive training with a specific weapon or suit of armor. You receive a masterwork version of the weapon or armor, and you gain proficiency in that specific weapon or armor (but not others of its type). If you are already proficient with the selected armor or weapon, you instead gain a +2 bonus to CMD against disarm and sunder combat maneuvers targeting the chosen item.
Choose the weapon or armor from the following list: breastplate, glaive, heavy shield, or longsword.
