A Pathfinder Society Special designed for levels 1–12+
An ancient Thassilonian artifact has been unearthed in Magnimar and is to be auctioned off by the city government. In order to maintain good relations with those in power in the City of Monuments, the Pathfinder Society must obtain the relic without simply stealing it, although employing any other means necessary. It falls to the PCs to infiltrate the auction, sabotage the other bidders’ efforts, and call in favors from those in the Society’s debt to ensure the Runecarved Key (and the secrets it unlocks) belongs to the Pathfinders when the adventure draws to a close.
Written by Kyle Baird and Tim Hitchcock.
This scenario is designed for play in Pathfinder Society Organized Play, but can easily be adapted for use with any world. This scenario is compliant with the Open Game License (OGL) and is suitable for use with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game.

Nope. It will be available only to event organizers who want to offer it at conventions or large game days for the entirety of Season 4. When we launch Season 5 at Gen Con 2013, we'll make this one available to the general public.

No one has noted that 12+ in the levels? Nice and shiny!
Not my problem. I have too much else to worry about to start making sure Mike keeps his shoes tied.

Mike, memory problems at your old Age?

Oh, I know I mentioned it before. But, no one said anything so I wanted to reinforce it. By the way, I'm not old. The Core Rulebook, page 169, advises old for a human is 53. I've got a decade to go.

We all figured you'd abused haste a bit too much in the AD&D years.

Just make sure you stay off my lawn when you visit the bay area!

Ah the good old days! When we lied about kissin' girls behind the bleachers and exactly how many 18's we really did roll. Along with psionics.
I got 8 years to go. I better hurry up and make 12th level so I can build a castle to retire in.
If I hadn't said, look forward to meeting you at GenCon Mike!

You must be rich. Only rich people can afford a lawn in the Bay area. I guess drinks are on you at Kubla Con!

I *really* rolled all those sixes like four times. I promise. Oh, and I really did roll 00 on my strength check. I *really* promise. And can we just say I have the levels in all the classes (fighter, thief, and Druid) so I can be a bard? Oh wait, I went back too far.......

Sorry - all my disposable income seems to be going on rulebooks, adventure paths, flip-mats, miniatures, scenarios, ...
Anyway, Azmyth's already said the first round is on him.

Speaking as someone who turned forty in Deceber, that table needs a serious errata.

When I pointed that out to my wife (who is a year older than me), I didn't get a very nice look back. She then requested to know who wrote that chart up. I haven't told her, and for the safety of ******** ***********, I hope she doesn't find out because the next company party could get ugly ;-)
How do the tiers break down for the Special? We've got some slightly disparate levels in our group, all have tickets for the Special, and we'd like to try and end up at the same table.

Usually the specials are tiers 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 8-9, and 10-11. This year there's also a 12+ tier.

I really hope the tiers don't break down that way. I will be 2nd level by the time of the event Friday night (at GenCon), but my friend will be 3rd. We were hoping/planning on playing at the same table.
The tiers will be that way, however, you should be fine. It can accommodate a mix of levels as long as no one is more than 1 subtier away from their "natural" subtier after the table APL is calculated.
We will likely be seating "groups of 6" first at Gen Con. For smaller groups, just muster with the most likely subtier. At 2/3 you should muster with the 3-4. You should, however, be open to playing 1-2 if that's how the tables end up breaking down.

Actually, just calculating, I should be 3rd level by Friday night, as I am only 1 Exp. away from 2nd level. And my friend just cracked 3rd level in our last PFS session. So by Friday, I am guessing we will be 3 and 4, respectively (assuming neither of us dies). So by that time, we should be in the same tier, anyways.
Just remember that you cannot go more than one "sub-tier" away from your level. So a level 2 should not be playing in a Sub-tier 4-5 game, but would be fine in a sub-tier 3-4 game.

Are we referring to just ‘special’ events on these tier rules? We’ll be ok for the special event, as I should be in the same tier (3-4), but the first event we will be a couple levels apart from one another (1 and 3).
Also, the events had a large range of levels listed. It varied from 1-5, 5-9 or even above. We signed up for the 1-5 timeslots.
