Well, yeah - if there's nobody else, Starling will use that roll(?) or a new one to try and kick the door.

Unfortunately, that it not sufficient to break in the door. It was very close, though.

Starling looks at the door with obvious frustration, then tries again to help the others to force it open.

Anyone with an actual Str bonus care to try to provide the main roll?

We have a few more that could help. Elvik? Otherwise, without someone to pick the lock, I think we just need to take 20 and bash the thing down.

LOL - Ok...

So it takes you a few minutes and makes a fair amount of racket, but eventually you manage to break the door in.

Map updated

A large sofa sits awkwardly near the entrance, facing toward the center of the room. Sets of chairs and tables are arranged throughout, and statues of grandiose gnomes occupy the corners of the room. A set of stairs at the northern edge of the chamber leads down. A second set of
stairs leads up to a second floor, presumably.

Some kinda magic there. More than likely an illusion or a trap, knowing a gnome wizard. I'll know more in a second. Let me study the aura.

You determine that it is a summoning circle, rather weakened by time. Entering the room will probably trigger it.

While examining the room you note that despite the lack of dust on many surfaces, no one has been here for years. The carpet and sofa show virtually no wear.

"No one has been here for years..." Dusklord observes through the busted door.

"My pet, please investigate," the wizard says as he directs the cloaked undead forward into the room.

"I'd say chances are much of what we see around us are illusions. Better to live in an illusory mansion than in a real shack though," Starling gives voice to her thoughts as the others look around.

As the undead enters the room, three fire beetles answer the summons of the proximity trap.

Damn vermin, immune to mind-affecting effects and most combat maneuvers don't do much to inconvenience them...

Aeleth draws his shortsword and waits to see if he can give any of his allies a flank...

"Another battle!," Starling exclaims as the beetles appear and the group readies itself for combat. She draws her rapier, but keeps back for now and instead begins singing a Taldan song about an old adventurer fighting various monsters an evil wizard summoned to fight him. The tune has been copied endlessly for lesser local songs, but Starling believes the original words still retain some of their power.

Nago is the only one able to connect with a fire beetle, but he manages to slice it in half, right down the middle. It is dead.

The other two move in to attack.

The farther one attacks Nago, and it looks to be a nasty attack, but proves to be little more than a light wound.

Dusklord mentally directs the undead creature to attack a beetle. It complies without compliant.

Dusklord nods in satisfaction as the combat ends.

"This specimen is most fascinating indeed. It shall be a shame to conclude my studies on it soon..." he laments.

After scribbling a few notes on its behavior and capabilities, the wizard begins looking around the room.

"Whatever became of this gnome...he has clearly not been here for some time."

"That was somewhat... anticlimatic," Starling comments as her friends quickly dispatch the beetles. "I agree. This gnome clearly isn't around - let's look around, we might find some clues here as to his current whereabouts."

Serak sighs at the destruction of the beetles. He really wanted to set them on fire, but they probably wouldn't have burned well. He waits for the others to figure out the gnome's tricks, waiting at the back of the group.

While examining the room you note that despite the lack of dust on many surfaces, no one has been here for years. The carpet and sofa show virtually no wear.

The stairs leading upstairs are not complete, and it looks like the upstairs is not finished.

The stairs to the basement are filled with old newspapers.

You don't really find much else unusual here, but there are three rooms on this level to explore.

Starling continues to search the floor room by room, beginning with the northwestern one after Dusklord.


Knowledge | GSC | Mummy's Mask | WftC | RotR$ | Carrion Crown

I was a little confused by the description of northwest door - there is a northeast door, a southeast door, and a double door. I am going to assume you mean northeast just to keep us moving...

This chamber contains enough chairs, pillows, and desks to accommodate at least six visitors. Elvik's examination of the table in the southwest corner reveals a neatly penned letter: >> here <<. Underneath the letter is a hastily scrawled note in similar handwriting, which contains the name of Karina Clamp.

Meanwhile, Nago discovers two potions, sitting on the window sill.

You open the double doors, and they lead to a large bedroom. In the bed lies Fimbrik peacefully sleeping, with two muscle-bound men guarding him. You now, of course, know this is simply illusion. You search the room, and find nothing of value to you.

The you cross the central room again to examine the last room. This study contains a round table surrounded by chairs, and the walls are replete with tome-laden bookshelves. Fimbrik is there, perusing his book collection. He pays no attention to you - another illusion that has degraded over time, it seems.

You believe you have found everything that may be important to your mission.

Wall of names next?

Aeleth crawls into the bed and mumbles "wake me up when it is all over..."

Then he notices Nago inching Nagi towards the bed and promptly jumps out.

As Starling follows the others out of the house, she shares her thoughts with them, "This gnome is clearly enamoured of himself. I cannot fathom why he would place so many illusions of himself in his house. Did he like watching himself doing all these activities, or was there some other reason behind this?"

Created in 4330 ar, the Wall of Names resides on the grounds of the Grand Lodge in Absalom. The monument is a curving wall of black glass that stands atop a small hill at the western edge of the lodge’s grounds. Trees surround the hill, providing ample shade and privacy for those visiting the wall to remember fallen comrades. Carved into the wall are the name and date of death of every Pathfinder killed in the course of duty since the wall’s construction, and most entries also include a sentence or two summarizing either the agent’s greatest accomplishments or how she died.

You find within the names on the wall:

Karina Clamp
Deceased 4330 AR
Sought to brave the Path of Aganhei.
Spoiled rations and wastefulness ended that dream.

Hollis "Evil Grin" Thorn
Deceased 4331 AR
Sought the jade idol of ten thousand faces.
Now but another sacrifice to the charau-ka of the Mwangi.

Doulgonlir Caskmail
Deceased 4332 AR
Enjoyed the many excesses of Katapesh.
Ended by a drug-induced hallucination.

The bolded words are actually underlined in the inscriptions.

"Rations... were wastefully... sacrificed... to drug-induced hallucinations?"

"Ah, yes, I see! We must find some grain-based hallucinogen and take a fix here! It...it all makes sense now! See, I've been saying for years that they could be visions, but no one ever believed me! Well who's laughing now, Brother Maynard?" Aeleth rants as he shakes a fist in the air. A random bystander might think that he was already tripping out on something or other.

Dusklord (and anyone else with DC 15 Knowledge (history, religion, or local):

You do find the epitaphs of interest. Between the three of them, you notice the highlighted words seem to have some significance. Each epitaph refers to an aspirant that failed the Test of the Starstone, and the highlighted part of each inscription refers to that aspirant’s area of interest.

Karina Clamp - Spoiled rations and wastefulness refers to Plokkis.

Hollis "Evil Grin" Thorn - sacrifice refers to Demuren.

Doulgonlir Caskmail - drug-induced hallucination refers to Spuchasta.

You also recall that they are all honored in the Shrine of the Failed.

Starling examines the inscriptions for a while, then turns to the others. "Dusklord is right, the underlined words are significant and seem to refer to each person's area of interest. Clamp's rations and waste refer to Plokkis, Thorn's sacrifice refers to Demuren and Caskmail's hallucination - envied by Aeleth I guess - refers to Spuchasta. All these people are also honored in the Shrine of the Fallen, so we'd probably want to go there, it might have the second half of this riddle!"

Dusklord smiles diabolically as he recognizes a coded message.

"Hmmm...the plot thickens, does it not? We should go to the Shrine of the Fallen. Perhaps we will find some additional clues."

Turning to Aeleth, the wizard says "What an interesting mind you have. When you have departed this existence, I should very much like to examine your cadaver. Perhaps we could arrange for some kind of study to be done at the university. Would you be willing to sign a waiver? All of this is for science, of course..."

Erected centuries ago by an unknown organization, the Shrine of the Failed is a dour complex that pays homage to those who failed in their attempts to overcome the Test of the Starstone. The building houses numerous altars, each dedicated to a specific failed aspirant. Black-robed acolytes protect, clean, and maintain the halls as well as the few trinkets left behind by the aspirants.

The shrine is a stone edifice with several levels that contain altars to the failed aspirants. Most of the place is currently closed, but you can access an area through the basement annex via a large set of stairs at the side of the shrine.

Hey guys, so the thing about season specials is that you need to have a certain number of GM stars to run one, and more importantly they are multi-table events. That's why they have such a wide range of sub-tiers. They are also generally only run at conventions for that reason. Race for the Runecarved Key is one such special.

There is a problem with the line between the provider and our house. It may take until beginning of next week until they found and fixed the problem. I will try to post during work until it is fixed, but that means that I won't be able to post on the weekend. Please bot me if necessary.

Hey all:

I will be on a 50-mile backpacking trip to Kings Peak in Utah until Friday, and will have no connectivity whatsoever. I'll return to my mosty-posty self thereafter.

Feel free to bot me, or other players can take actions for me. See you all when I return!

For the next couple of people DMing, if you do it as part of Game Day 4, you can get the scenarios free.

You just have to sign the scenario up as part of Game Day 4 by the 23rd of August, I believe.

Any games run between September 19 and mid-December count, so it's likely we could get a few more done if you want a free scenario!

Good idea. We are moving ok now, I think we could be done here by end of month. I think Confirmation is next, right?

Then the next three are:
2 #4-07 Severing Ties Levels 1-5 Baerlie 1
2 #3-07 Echoes of the Overwatched Levels 1-5 Crashwheeler 1
2 #3-05 Tide of Twilight Levels 1-5 PJP 2

I doubt we will get through 3, but I am ok buying 3-05 when needed. But if we plan the other two, Baerlie and Crach could get free modules (and we can all roll for boons).


Scoured Stars Map

Yep am I doing the confirmation or someone else? Memory fuzzy, lots going on at the moment.


Knowledge | GSC | Mummy's Mask | WftC | RotR$ | Carrion Crown

We didn't list the first three on our spreadsheet, but I don't think you run one until we hit level 3. It looks to me like Steven-Evil has Confirmation.


Scoured Stars Map

Works for me.

Would it make sense to swap Severing Ties for Tide of Twilight? I'm a VC and I get the scenarios for free.


Knowledge | GSC | Mummy's Mask | WftC | RotR$ | Carrion Crown

Sure, I'm cool with that. Do we need to guess dates? Maybe go with Nov 1 for Tides?


I think every time we move to the next scenario, we should also warn whoever is next.

That gives them a month or two to prepare.


Knowledge | GSC | Mummy's Mask | WftC | RotR$ | Carrion Crown

Makes good sense.

I just signed up for #3-05 Tide of Twilight to GM as Core for Gameday, which will get me the scenario. If we get to it before Gameday is over, then I will add another session for this group to run as well, but I don't need to add that before Aug 23 now.

If someone can go before me so they can get the scenario that'll be better since I have all of them already.

Can everyone repost their PFS#, PlayerName, Faction, and day job roll? I am working on the chronicles, but just realized that stuff isn't in this discussion or anywhere central that I could find....

Thanks!

OK, I have posted chronicles >> here <<.

I have also reported the session, except for Starling because I don't have a PFS# yet, but as soon as I do, I will update for you.

So, Confirmation is next?

Thanks for running that, Fuzzfoot. Again, I think that whoever is DM needs to make it a priority if this group is going to make it through, and I think these first two have gone very well.

I'm pretty much ready to go! Onward! :)

I am prepping the confirmation as soon as I get off work, so expect a link to the gameplay thread in about 8 hours. Thanks for running Fuzzfoot!

We'll get started on Monday. I have a busy weekend coming up. As usual, we'll go with a minimum one post a day if possible.
