[PFS][Level 3-5] DM Ranginui runs The Midnight Mirror (Inactive)

Game Master Tangaroa

The Midnight Mirror

A ciphered letter arrives at the Grand Lodge of Absalom, bearing the seal of the Jeggare family. After decyphering it, it is circulated among the agents at the Grand Lodge.

"Pathfinders,

Respectfully,
Count Varian Jeggare"

The instructors at the grand lodge will be happy to teleport any souls brave or foolish enough to adventure in that shadowy land. The tale should make a fine addition to the Pathfinder Chronicles!

**********************************************************************

Hardy, self-sufficient souls sought for adventure in the lands of Nidal!

There is one spot already taken for this game, as of yet undecided (either oracle, bard, sorcerer or wizard).

I would be seeking four to five more players interested in playing this module, ideally with all the usual bases filled (i.e. combat, skills, arcane, divine).

Ideal posting rate would be once at least once per day. Good role-play encouraged and creative solutions welcome.

I will entertain submissions until 2014-01-04 5:00 AM UTC (or 1/3/2014 10:00 PM EST), or until adequate candidates are found to fill the spots.

This is an atmospheric and open-ended adventure, and I look forward to running it again.

Levels 3-5 PFS characters only, thanks!

3rd level crypt breaker alchemist reporting for duty!

4th level Cleric of Pharasma

I believe that I could try to help with this situation.

This would be relevant to my 3rd level Witch's interests.

I would be interested. I have a couple PC's in tier, including Caradeum from Thornkeep. How long do you estimate this module will take?

Everyone should be well-warned that the reviews on this site for this module indicate that one combat encounter is VERY difficult for a low-end party to survive.

Yes, I would *much* prefer an APL 4+ for survivability.

Assuming you do every encounter with each taking encounter taking 2 days + 30-40% more for RP, this will take upwards of 6-7weeks. Cut out the RP, skip a lot of encounters and you would be closer to a month. I would prefer to run a bit longer and lean towards the RP side.

There's a lot more content here then Thornkeep level 1. Consider yourself warned.

Of course if I get a crop of maniac posters my estimates would need to be revised.

Shandor, reporting for duty!

So yes DM Ranginui, I chose sorcerer (oracle and bard are currently locked in games, and I'm keeping my wizard for non-PbP events) ;)

Hey, Jacob! Longtime no talk! Can't play, but wish I could. Sounds like a fun one.

With an alchemist and sorcerer already submitted, I'll go ahead and remove my application to help you guys get a possibly higher APL and more diversity in class roles.

I'll pull Ruprecht as well, so hopefully the squad will have a better chance at making it out. Good luck!

Alright, a bit of a bump to stir up interest again. I feel I've oversold the danger of this module and kind of chased people away! I certainly don't mind a few level threes in the group, but a few level five folks to balance that out would be nice.

It sounds like the following are likely:

Shandar, Tattooed Sorcerer 3
Chuurock Bin Ausk, Cleric of Pharasma 4

Might anybody else be interested in this module?

Don't forget Leastrie, unless you don't need him.

Ah, OK then. I wasn't clear if you could commit or not. A level 5 lore warden would be an awesome addition.

Shandor might only be level 3, but has great potential. He's actually far more efficient and dangerous than my level 4 wizard. I'll be able to keep up without any trouble.

Sweet!

Good, because I'm not always sure that Chuurock is at the place on the power curve that other people expect him to be. Maybe it's just the dice.

I have a level 3 Sword and Board Ranger...too weak?

Not at all. Another sword-arm will be a welcome addition, bring Bom Along.

I have to apologize. I was wondering how this was Tier 3-5 scenario and then I realized it must be a module. I have been avoiding modules in PFS. I'd be willing to play along for no xp/PP and no risk of death, but if this is going to be reported, I'll have to pass.

I have a 4th level savage mad dog barbarian I could throw in the mix. Be aware I have read the module before though.

Asbjörn Ulfkairsson, that would be acceptable to me. I've certainly done the same. The fact that you still want to play it is usually a good sign.

Back to four, then. I'm casting my net a bit further afield to try to drum up some more interest.

I've got a AP Credit character that I can get to 5th; I'd just need a day or two to get all my ducks in a row on that. I've been theorycrafting an Oracle of Bones as of late, and would be ecstatic to start him in a Nidal setting. If people with actual characters enter, though, I'll offer higher priority.

I will be keeping this open until the end of the week, but an oracle certainly sounds intriguing.

I was under the impression that most theorycrafter undead oracle types went Juju, although I don't precisely know why.

Definitley interested, but my only free character in-range curently is my just-barely-3rd level wizard. It looks like you already have an arcane caster at that level, and if Shandor is as efficient as he says, then I'm sure he'd outclass my build, which is focused on buffing and utility spells right now.

I have a 5th level cleric that just started a game, but it's kind of crawling along. Anyway, let me see what the GM there is planning - I hate to think negatively but if that game dies, I'd have a good fit for you.

I'll actually post with the alias I was planning on using for it, though it's in-development. Juju oracles (the cool ones that aren't in Faiths and Philosphies, anyways) aren't PFS-legal, due to James Jacobs being against non-evil undead (and the archetype somehow getting past that restriction.) The fact they have a higher HD cap is better, too.

The biggest issue of that being I see a Pharasmin on the roster, but the character wasn't a liberal Animate Dead user, so it shouldn't be too horrible. Largely build around controlling any undead and Inflict touches.

EDIT: Ducks are organized. I forgot about this line of the Guide. Character is being built now.

You may also opt instead to apply the

Chronicle sheets earned with a non-
1st-level pregenerated character to a
1st-level character with the amount
of gp gained reduced to 500 gp (or
250 gp for characters using the slow
advancement track).

Guilford - don't worry, I'm a strong believer of wizard and sorcerer making a great combo in a group. Sorcerers direly lack versatility, from what I can see we'll definitely work well together. Especially since you'll have access to 2nd-level spells and I don't.

Thanks for the vote of support! That said, have you got any suggestions for my level 3 feat?

I guess I am a bit concerned about survivability, since for PFS we can't level up mid-module liek some home games do. But it looks like we'd have a solid APL of 4.

GM, you said one spot was spoken for. Is that person among those who have responded here? I count six submissions, with Kris and Guilford.

If I may, these are the characters with pending applications that I saw in reading through this thread:

Chuurock - Cleric 4
Leastrie - Lore Warden 5
Shandor - Sorceror 3
Asbjorn - Barbarian 4
Kris - Oracle 5
Guilford - Wizard 3

Applying with Baldwyn, a Polearm Master 5, if there is still room. As a player I'm doubly interested as I'm reading through the novels featuring Count Jeggare. Didn't think he made an appearance in any modules.

I'm the one who had a reserved seat by the way.

As for the feat, I'm a big fan of Varisian Tattoo from the ISWG (it would be Evocation for you since you have SF), it basically add +1 caster level for all spells from the school of magic you choose when you pick the feat (and for which you must have SF as a prerequisite).

Many other options, it all depends on the kind of wizard you're trying to do. If you do like one of your spells very much, Spell Specialization can also be a great feat.

The inclusion of Count Jeggare was something solely of my own design. There isn't a PFS friendly introduction to this adventure, and he's close enough to Nidal that I thought he would be appropriate. I'm not aware of any Pathfinder lodges within Nidal.

Alright, I believe I would like the following characters for this group:

Chuurock - Cleric 4
Leastrie - Lore Warden 5
Shandor - Sorcerer 3
Baldwyn -Polearm Fighter 5
Kris - Bone Oracle 5
Guilford - Transmuter 3

Thanks everyone else for your time and interest. I will be running this again in the future I believe so I may look some of you up again.

Please check the discussion thread. I will start a gameplay thread tonight.

Well his name got me interested, so that counts for something, haha.

Thank you for the opportunity to play!

I should say that it being new years eve and all, I will understand if folks don't post for a day (or two)

Aye, I'll be working both tonight and tomorrow night, but can post fairly frequently when not on the clock.
