<p>My main frustrations with this whole special is that we were rushed through the interactions with the scenario itself and weren't really allowed to employ creative solutions. This was a Tier 1-5 scenario in how constrained we were in what methods we could employ! It's as if no effort was made to support anything beyond that, other than a couple lines of text!</p>
<p>If that's an okay approach for specials, then why don't they do the same with every scenario, just slap on a couple lines of text and have everything be 1-20?</p>
<p>And then, as insult to injury, we got rushed through the interactive pieces, and now, with weeks to spare, there's just nothing left you the GM are allowed to present to us, at all? That's awful!</p>

My lady's reporting info is 2351-4.</p>
<p>So a bit of background. I haven't played Pathfinder 1E in a very long time, and PFS1E in even longer. Back in 2014, I had leveled a character all the way up to 19 2/3rds, and I GMed this special twice, feeling pretty accomplished that I got someone over the finish line, but I held out hope that maybe, just maybe, I'd get to play a 19th-level module or Special or something, so I never actually applied the GM Chronicle, because, well, if Paizo presented an opportunity, I had GM credit in my back pocket. But then I moved and never got to play PFS again. </p>
<p>Flash forward to now, I'm dipping my toes into 2nd Ed play by Discord, and what's this? Runecarved Key, •and there's a high table?• No way! </p>
<p>Honestly, I'm just ecstatic at the chance to roleplay the character again. I know this is high-level 1E and how efficient PCs are at vaporising baddies. But that's okay, because I mainly just want to try the persona on again, with the character coming out of PC retirement knowing that she's an incredibly talented and capable aristocrat (ignore those Ninja levels on her character sheet, that's just a records issue. Bureaucracy, am I right?) </p>
<p>I'll be playing Lady Gabrielle d'Apcher... Think Bruce Wayne crossed with Black Widow, but in an Alexandre Dumas novel that has finally gotten its anime reincarnation on Netflix. If that sounds like a Mary Sue, well, when your skill bonuses are as high as hers, the comparison can't be helped. She's basically an Exalted PC at this point; she can balance on tightropes, leap over tall buildings, beat Sherlock Holmes in pub quizzes, speak in six million forms of communication, talk the Worldwound into closing itself up, bring down the house as an opera soprano... but don't expect her to punch through walls. Or cook. That's what servants are for. </p>
<p>Thing is, Lady Gabrielle knows that superhuman feats at the grocery market tend to make people a little uneasy. So like our pal Bruce (Wayne, not Lee), she puts on a persona of talented-but-mortal. Respect and admiration are helpful, but fear is not. Amongst the Pathfinder Society, she passes herself off as unarmed, capable, but not comically weak. Ignore that ladies' fan she clutches obsessively; it's just for show and totally not made of mithral blades within the imported silk cloth.</p>
<p>As for game mechanics, I'm going to need some time with Archives of Nethys, because it's been a loooong time, and she's got a bunch of cash from finishing up Rise of the Runelords. </p>
<p>Glad to be here! Thank you so much for GMing!</p>Hey everyone! My lady's reporting info is 2351-4.

<p>Meanwhile, non-full casters have other options for interacting with the story, like skills (ex: Bard, Inquisitor) or through physical combat (ex: Magus, Warpriest). They don't have to resort to casting spells in every scene, so they are most often less disruptive to your story.</p>

Lady Gabrielle had never known of the darker side of her family's history. Of course, her house was old enough to have waxed and waned many times over the centuries, but devilish bargains had never played a part in the tree she had known. As for facing the wrath of a demon queen, the notion came easily to her. The way her mother Florianne had led the estate towards ruin by indebtedness meant that the devil was rapidly achieving his revenge.</p>
<p>The thought of her mother as an agent of evil was the first thing to come to her. She had ensnared Lord Thomas so completely that he could never lift a finger to resist Lady Florianne and her endless expenditures. Even her mother's decision to send Lady Gabrielle to the Lantern Lodge in Goka would fit a pattern of ruin. With Gerard in Mendev, Dante in the corsairs of Cassomir, and Gabrielle with the Pathfinders, the estate's heirs were all placed in mortal danger. Well, almost all. Violette was destined towards priesthood since she was a child, a path which would remove her from eligibility. It was for the best, she thought. If Violette were capable of experiencing a single clever thought, she would likely have been sent away like her siblings were.</p>
<p>Among all of her lingering questions, one was most prominent in her mind. What of her brother Gerard? Why was he missing from the tree they had uncovered in Euprixia's library? Next-most prominent was the one she could not help but become fixated on: how could she use this true family history to her advantage?</p>
<p><b>"I know of this family, and their recent experiences with, as you say, Izimara's haunting,"</b> she says. <b>"What are the terms of your being bound to her, if you are not bothered by my asking? Is your service contingent on the Lady inflicting a particular amount of haunting? Or are you bound for the length of certain family members' lifetimes? I do hope my curiosity is welcomed."</b></p>

<p>In Taldan society, reputation is as valuable as currency. A title of honor can lift a man from the sewers of Cassomir to the Westpark district of Oppara, while an aura of ridicule can follow a man permanently, sending him to his grave weeping. All who were his peers fondly remember Richard de Poira, the Clever Chevalier, while one would be hard-pressed to uncover the Marquis de Stumblebum's birth name.</p>
<p>The hostess has given two of her guests a name which can become either their most beneficial boon or their most terrible curse. It is up to the recipients to embrace or disown them as they craft their reputations.</p>
<p><span class=messageboard-ooc>The Snow Princess, as a sort of gift to her guests, has given the Midnight Samurai and the Kuthona Rat each a moniker.

<p>As the first verse of this song concludes, a rather interesting situation has arisen. <i>Both</i> the Midnight Samurai and the Kuthona Rat have claimed to have the same card, just as the Masked Cat has grasped the Samurai's hand for a dance.</p>
<p>As these are two separate plays, players can challenge <i>either or both</i> of them. This means that players can either:</p>
<p>-Challenge the Kuthona Rat but not the Midnight Samurai
<br />
-Challenge the Midnight Samurai but not the Kuthona Rat
<br />
-Challenge both the Kuthona Rat and the Midnight Samurai
<br />
-Challenge neither one.</p>
<p>The Kuthona Rat can choose to challenge the Midnight Samurai's play.
<br />
The Midnight Samurai can choose to challenge the Kuthona Rat's play.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the Carpenter has exited the game, perhaps due to physical exhaustion or perhaps due to his mind being boggled by the plays. His card is now held by the Snow Princess.</p>
<p>When a player chooses to change partners with the Snow Princess, he or she now has two choices of cards to swap with (or not):
<br />
-She has hidden one card in her fan, the same card as before.
<br />
-She now has the Carpenter's card tucked into her gown.</p>

<b>The Lion Blade:</b> The player secretly looks at his or her own card and another player’s card, then privately chooses whether to swap these two cards or leave them.
<br />
<b>The Priestess:</b> The player takes two feathers from the player with the most feathers. In the case of a tie, the player chooses from which player the feathers are taken.
<br />
<b>The Count:</b> The player takes all feathers which have been lost due to falsely claiming to have a card. If any players lose a feather due to falsely claiming to have the Count, the feathers are lost after the player holding the Count takes all the other feathers.
<br />
<b>The Princess:</b> The player receives two feathers.
<br />
<b>The Grand Prince:</b> The player receives three feathers.
<br />
<b>The Witch:</b> The player chooses another player, and the two players exchange all of their feathers.
<br />
<b>The Thief:</b> If the player has ten or more feathers, that player wins the game. If the player has less than ten feathers, nothing happens.</p>

<p>The Midnight Samurai makes the first move, giving the Merchant of Sands a chance to escape her partner, a Corsair of Cassomir and bane to her persona's countryment.</p>
<p>However, the Merchant, in a manner fitting of her character, shows her designs on the Green Knight, or rather his green armor.</p>
<p>The Masked Cat, perhaps impressed by the boisterous nature of the Carpenter's movements, or perhaps due to the curiosity of her character, approaches the Carpenter for dance with him.</p>
<p>The Frost Witch is apparently happy to have the Samurai take her hand. Rather than having to change partners with him, the partners in her way swapped themselves.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the Kuthona Rat, perhaps out of an interest in rescuing the Cat, perhaps out of a desire to answer the Corsair's challenge regarding unlikely pairs, or perhaps simply out of an interest in a dance with her, takes the Cat's hand just as the next song begins.</p>
<p><b>As the next song begins:
<br />
-The Merchant of Sands is dancing with the Green Knight
<br />
-The Midnight Samurai is dancing with the Frost Witch
<br />
-The Carpenter is dancing with the Priestess
<br />
-The Kuthona Rat is dancing with the Masked Cat
<br />
-The Snow Princess is dancing with the Corsair
<br />
-The Lord Tiger is dancing with the Winter Faerie</b></p>
<p><b>All players have six songbird feathers.</b></p>
<p>All players, when they swapped dance partners, also had an opportunity to swap each their held cards with their chosen player's card. Whether or not a swap actually occurred is only known to the player. Thus, all seven cards are now hidden, and the full game begins.</p>
<p>There are now three choices of actions:
<br />
<b>-Change dance partners,</b> along with privately choosing whether to swap cards.
<br />
<b>-Look at your own card.</b>
<br />
<b>-Announce that they are carrying a particular card and gain the benefits of its ability.</b> If the player announces that he or she is carrying the Lion Blade, the Fool, or the Witch, the player also chooses which other players will be affected.</p>
<p>The next choice of action is due by Wednesday evening. If a player announces that they are carrying a particular card, challenges to that claim are due by Thursday evening.</p>
<p>Best of luck to all of you.</p>The first song has ended, and as is customary, the dancers all change their partners.

<p>First, however, was the demon. He recalled that they had some sort of sound-based ability, something Solaufyn could do something about if it could brush off his distraction.

<p>As he did every night, Solaufyn entered his elven dream-state, to relax his mind and draw inspiration from the beautiful things that he would experience. He found himself in a starlit clearing surrounded by the trees of his home, a dreamscape he often entered. Around him, leading off into the forest, were a number of paths. These trails were unmarked, but Solaufyn would always know where they led. The paths offered to him were different every time; where one night he might see paths to flowering romance or hidden knowledge, another night he might see paths to inner reflection or newfound friendship. The paths before him, Solaufyn believed, were expressions of the things his mind needed most at the time.</p>
<p>This dream, though, was different than the rest. The starlit glade was muted in color, and Solaufyn could not see as far or as well as every other time. Instead of being able to see the veins of the leaves and every star in the sky, it was as if only the space right around him was lit to his eyes, and everything beyond was unknown to him, with only shapes created by dark shadows hinting at what lay beyond.</p>
<p>As he approached one of the dark shapes, he could sense where the paths that led away from the shadowy glade went. Emptiness was to his left. Betrayal was to his right. Heartbreak led off in another direction. Straight ahead was certain death. He paused, the piece of him which was grounded with the knowledge of the nature of this place telling him to investigate.</p>
<p>The glade responded impatiently. Just as he calmed himself, the shadows began to move, as well as whisper in the darkness. They spoke of horrible fates that would befall his friends, his family, his home, everything he loved, all the while circling about him, their promises closing in on him. There was no more time to investigate. Solaufyn listened for a break in the whispers, a way out. Though the way led towards certain death, he ran from the shadows as fast as he could. As he fled them, the shadows taunted him, as even if he could escape, it would not save his friends, or his sister Sylvia, or his Queen.</p>
<p>Just as it struck him that everything he ever loved would be taken from him, he awoke with a gasp for air, trembling. He had never felt so threatened before.</p>
<p><span class=messageboard-ooc>Solaufyn fails his save. He just wasn't ready for dreams like this.</span></p>

<p>Solaufyn initially does not react to the shouting and breaking of glass, as it was just another of the usual sounds of human cities. Only after he recalls where he is, in a nice part of Istivin, and hears his companions shuffling about, does he find a window overlooking the street and investigate.</p>First thing's first.

As he did every night, Solaufyn entered his elven dream-state, to relax his mind and draw inspiration from the beautiful things that he would experience. He found himself in a starlit clearing surrounded by the trees of his home, a dreamscape he often entered.

<p>(In other words, Andoran's overwhelming popularity means that they have a <i>lot</i> of 7-Int Fighters working for them. Which is good for us. All we have to do is refuse to assist their missions during the first month after a given module is released, and encourage others to do the same. Banding together for Taldan tables at conventions where modules premiere will also be an excellent strategy, one that's easier to do when there are fewer Taldan players present.)</p>
