SPOILER - Scenario 33: "Assault on the Kingdm of the Impossible" Items

Scarab Sages 1/5

Scenario 33:

In this scenario, I earned a "Mask of the Tiger's Eye" and a "Crook of Order" (Osirion faction). I do not know what either of these items is, and I can find no description. According to the Sapphire Sage, I may keep the Crook or give it to him for a reward. Can anyone tell me anything about these objects?

Incidentally, this character is a monk, and was just as effective in combat is any fighter. I realize I am being a bit defensive here, but I just had to say something to all who denigrate monks. Even my GM calls monks "thieves who can't steal stuff"!

Mask of the Tiger’s Eye

Spoiler:

This mundane item is worn by students, veterans, and teachers of the Tiger’s Eye form of martial arts in Jalmeray. The mask uses up the “head” slot for magical items when worn by a PC and provides the wearer with a +2 circumstance bonus to Intimidate checks. Cost: 55 gp.

Pharoh's Crook

Spoiler:

These components can be reassembled into the Pharaoh’s Crook of Order by the wizards from area C. The Pharaoh’s Crook is a +1 morningstar (Tier 1–2) or a +1 merciful morningstar (Tier 4–5).

So assuming you played at tier 1-2 it doesn't show up on your Chronicle since it's a +1 weapon which is considered to be 'always available.'

Hope that helps!

The answer is "Yes" to both your implied questions. I played subtier 1-2 and your descriptions did help.

Unfortunately, I am not proficient with the weapon. Can I sell it for half the cost of a magic weapon, or would I have to pay the full cost of a magic weapon to keep it? The wording of the faction mission seems to imply the former, but normal PFS rules imply the latter.

The latter. The gold you got on the sheet takes into account that you 'sold everything' it's then listed on your Chronicle for you to buy back if you really want one. Or in the future if you have the gold and decide you want one you can buy it off the sheet. I can see how the wording of that faction mission might lead to confusion. "But he said I could keep it!?!?!?" :)

5/5

Anyone else find it weird that I dreamed about prepping to run this scenario last night (only to find out I was supposed to prep Skeleton Moon)?

Oops. I just had to erase and rewrite this post. So the 553 gp per person we got assumes that we sold a +1 morningstar. The "you may keep it" is essentially meaningless (in game terms). My options are exactly the same as they would be in any other case.

It occurs to me that the Mask of the Tiger's Eye could be dangerous for someone other than a monk. Advertising oneself as a student of the martial arts while clad in plate armor, carrying a tower shield and wielding a longsword is asking for trouble.
