Hey Eadie! Glad to be joining the game. After looking at the list of players, I thought we could use some arcane influence. I was going to throw down Ezran, but I just couldn't. Instead, I will be rolling out...

This looks like a well-balanced group. I'm looking forward to holding the front line with Ali, Crowe and Dvalin.

@GM Zoomba, I'd like to purchase a potion of fly for 2PP before we start, if that's OK.


Blooming Catastrophe Return to Grave

Eadie: That's fine. You can all make purchases as you like before the scenario proper begins, either in Absalom or when you dock at Korvosa before heading north to Kaer Maga itself.

Sorry about that: map should be viewable by all of you now. Let me know if you still can't see it

@ GM Zoomba,

If it’s not too much trouble (and not a spoiler), would you mind posting the Faction Mission for Taldor for this scenario?


Blooming Catastrophe Return to Grave

@ Eadie Half is a bit odd and especially irrelevant now. The other half is worth it however, though minor-ly spoilery. I'll have a 'little bird' get it to you guys once you reach a certain point in the scenario.

Thanks, GM Zoomba!

I have heard the expression "I do this for Taldor!" many times while chatting generally about PFS and still don't know what the joke is.

(I believe it comes from the Faction Mission in this scenario or its successor).

Having Archimedes tell Ali/us at an appropriate point would be pretty cool.

I will be offline from about 3pm PST Saturday for at least 24 hours. Flying to New Zealand, I'll have access down in Kiwi land for a couple of weeks but will most likely not be able to update the online maps.


Blooming Catastrophe Return to Grave

I know none of you are actually in the Sovereign Court or Exchange factions, but as this particular old faction mission is a bit legendary, should any of you wish to do this (again entirely optional thing), let's assume you received this message just before being picked up by his men:

Spoiler:
"Have I got a mission for you! When I first heard that you
were being sent to distant Kaer Maga by the Society, I must
admit I didn’t believe it. After recovering from my initial shock, I spent hours thinking of how best to use you there, and then the answer came to me — I need you to take a beating. Not just any beating, though! I need the man called Dakar, the leader of that cleverly secretive Commerce League, to be so offended by your presence that he orders his men to stomp some sense into you. As they beat you, you must say, “I do this for Taldor!” Hopefully he gets the message, even if you don’t."

With Sincerest Gratitude, Baron Jacquo Dalsine

Thank-you, GM Zoomba.

Eadie will decline ;)

Grand Lodge

Traber is not one for such things.

Grand Lodge

Crowe cares not for Taldor! Also, pretty sure he would not take a beating lying down.


Blooming Catastrophe Return to Grave

As is the case with a scenario six years old, time has changed the context. At the time, this is the first time mention of the Shadow Lodge appeared in a scenario (with one high-level exception)

@ GM Zoomba

Eadie has a wayfinder fitted with a Clear spindle ioun stone which gives her protection from mental control spells as per protection from evil, provided the spell-caster is evil.

I am going to assume the caster is evil, but if not I owe you a Will save! ;)

I’m thinking the space in front of the theatre seats is Difficult Terrain. Eadie also has featherstep slippers which allows her to ignore difficult terrain.

Could we put Ali on Auto Pilot? It seems we spend an inordinate amount of our time waiting for his posts.


Blooming Catastrophe Return to Grave

I try to give around 48 hours before delaying a person, since sometimes emergencies do arise. That said, as we are now over two days past the last post, check the Gameplay thread...

I apologize for all the issues on my end. I SHOULD be back on track now. Between moving, bricking my computer, and traveling for work time has been at a premium lately.


Blooming Catastrophe Return to Grave

We are now essentially at the end of the scenario. Abrupt I know, but it is a part One.

There will be at least one more post from me before we officially wrap up, but I thought I'd give you a heads up, as its not necessarily clear you're near a climax. That said, there are still things to do, like decide what you are doing with your stable prisoner, who has both betrayed the Society and angered multiple important personages.

[QOUTE=Dvalin Stormforge]So ... there is a part 2?

There is a part two, and I will be happy to run it shortly. Each of you is welcome to come aborad and would have priority before I try and recruit any new people to fill in any open spots. Please let me know (either through here or PM) if you want to continue on to Part 2. It would likely begin later next week.

Also, I am getting chronicle sheets ready. They should be up either tonight (possibly) or tomorrow (far more likely)

Chronicles should be up HERE. Let me know if there are any issues downloading them or with the sheets themselves.

If we're all continuing on, I am planning on posting the beginning of Part 2 on Thursday. Since they're a linked scenario pair, we might as well continue using the same threads.

Blooming Catastrophe Return to Grave

No Yakima, I just forgot you were level 6 as your info in this thread was still showing level 5, so I made your chronicle out-of-tier.

A corrected chronicle, with the right gold for your level, should be updated in the folder now.
