Pirates! Adventure! PFS!
This game is part of the Official Pathfinder Society PbP Game Day 2. For more information please go to PbP Game Day 2:
#5–06: You Have What You Hold
A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for levels 3–7.
As an act of retribution, an enemy of the society begins hiring river pirates to waylay Pathfinder boats bound for the crusader nation of Mendev. Unless the Pathfinders can track down the party responsible and put an end to their piracy, the raids may spell the doom of the society’s ambitions to the north.
Content in "You Have What You Hold" also contributes directly to the ongoing storyline of the Sczarni faction.
Written by Sean McGowan.
The game starts on April 6th, 2014, and ends, at the latest, July 5th, 2014.
Recruitment is open. Please state your interest by posting as a PFS legal character in this thread. Please only apply if you are willing to post at least daily (including weekends).
I love the idea of this, I will check my characters my my half-orc sczarni rogue might help, or might have someone else that could help, not sure of their levels yet ...
Hey Deevor:
I've played the scenario, and it is fun--has a little bit of everything.
We still have a couple weeks to get things settled, but do let me know if you definitely want to reserve a spot, and I'll pencil in your rogue/tbd.
Cheers,
Jim

Now where there are ancient cities, built under ground, there are riches for those who care to look. And Natty Grast cares to look, in fact he caught the eye of the local thieves guild who suggested he join a group of adventurers being collected, so that he might help carry back the treasures they find, including bring back some himself.
Natty, learnt to survive on the side of society, having to make do from an early age. Once his features became obvious, his orc heritage forced the town to cast him out, an abomination. His mother kept him hidden when she could, but more often than not he had to keep in the shadows, stealing bread and food as he could. When the watch became difficult to avoid, he was forced into woods and forests, where he lived rough, developing a liking for the scent of his own sweat as his hygiene deteriorated. It became more and more untenable, until he said goodbye to his mother and set off to make a name for himself, good or bad, that was not his choice.
And so, now he is here in Absolom, been here for 6 months doing what he does best. Not being seen but collecting food and money as he required them from unwitting benefactors. Rather than let his skills be used by Aspis Consortium or others, the Pathfinders have invited him in to train and work for them.

If only to brush the dust off of my very first PF character ever made, I submit Ruthgar, a Cleric of Torag, for approval.
Well if its pirates you want, then a couple of rogues never go amiss ... and yes a little bit or arcane and a strong man would go down well too. Hoping Natty can have some fun in this ... oh and live through it ... <smiles>
Welcome, Rut'hgar & Skorn.
Actually, Deevor _is_ Natty, so it's Rogue, Druid, Cleric. Still three slots open, though throw in Vermin's AC pal Sparky, and you're well on your way. If we don't pick up more players by this weekend, I'll put out the word on other sites.
Current Roster:
1: Deevor/Natty Grastik, Half-Orc Rogue 5
2: Skorn/Vermin, Half-Orc Druid 6
3: Rut'hgar, Human Cleric 6

Bump ...
Avast, ye scurvy Sczarni dogs. Come battle wits with River Pirates. Three slots open.

Ser Cadwgan, false knight and mercenary of Taldor, would love to battle river pirates. I've never did a PBP before, so it should be interesting.

Character Info
There is a possibility I could be level 5 before we start.
Welcome aboard, Ser Cadwgan. Like anything, PbP has its strengths and weaknesses, but I've thoroughly enjoyed it. And at least we don't have to worry about mispronouncing Cadwgen. :^)
Current Roster:
1: Deevor/Natty Grastik, Half-Orc Rogue 5
2: Skorn/Vermin, Half-Orc Druid 6

Congrats on leveling up. I'll be setting up the the gameplay thread and my initial couple of posts by the end of the week.
Gameplay thread is up.

Hawk looks perfect for the group, as long as you understand the risk of playing up.
You hang back and heal, one can hope you'll survive...unfortunately, with PbP, there's no way to mercy fudge rolls v the low level guy, but I think you'll do fine. 3rd level barbarian trying to lead the charge, not so much, but you should be okay. Hop on over to
gameplay thread and get up to speed.
And welcome aboard.
