This game is part of the Official Pathfinder Society PbP Game Day. For more information please visit: http://PbPGameday.com
#5-12 : Destiny of the Sands, Part I: A Bitter Bargain
When: Will start April 5th, 2014
Where: Here!
Who: PCs can be level 1 to 5, sub-tiers of 1-2 and 4-5.
What: Amenopheus has learned that the legacy of the Jeweled Sages lies near the Osirian trade city of Eto, and the Pathfinder Society has pledged its support in the Sapphire Sage’s investigation of his ancient order; however the lead dried up—that was until a familiar information broker contacted Amenopheus offering an exchange of services. To assist an ally and unlock the secrets of Osirion’s past, the Society must deal with a deadly antagonist once more by sending the PCs to fulfill the bargain and collect its due. The only question is what price their foe will demand.
Dot here with your character or options. As this is a Pathfinder Society game, only legal Pathfinder Society characters need apply. If there is enough interest, I may be persuaded to run two tables simultaneously.
Once part 1 is completed, I would be willing to jump right into Part 2 with the same party. The game day lasts until July 5th! So if we complete Part 2 within that time-frame, it will count for the Game Day (meaning a chance at a boon!).

Hiya!
I'm very interested. Mikhaere here is currently in a scenario but he should be well and truly done that by the time this begins.
Tengu Druid 3 (he should level up to 4 after this adventure, if it matters for part 2.)

Thank you, all, for your quick interest in a game that's still a month away from starting!
If this keeps up, I'll definitely have two tables on my hands. So I'll just keep a list of players going and we can sort things out to table as the time nears.
Mikhaere, no worries at all for level. Parts 1 and 2 are both 1-5, however part 3 is for some reason a 3-7. (I did not recall when part 3 released, so did not mention it in the intro post, but logically we should be able to hit up number 3 after part 2 regardless if the Game Day is still going or not.)
1. Borax Bulan - Investigator 2
2. Arovandeon Isero - Alchemist 3
3. Mikhaere - Druid 3
4. Ouroborei - Wizard 4
5. Professor Dario Westone - Archaeologist 1
6. Ikerhsien - Rogue 2
7. Tektite - ________

I've got a couple of characters I'd like to play if you're opening up a second table.
Guilford would be 4th level - he's in a module, but it should be done in time.
I also have an inquisitor that will be 3rd level by the start date (one GM chronicle away).
If you're thinking of running all three parts, I'd be happy to commit to that.
Prothero Crace |
Sior - My Zen Archer will be one XP away from second level to start this, so he wouldn't quite make 3rd level for the third installment of this series. I also probably won't want to have him tied up for PaizoCon (which is right at the end of PbP Gameday, as you probably know).
So, various questions come to mind: is this a problem? Could I just play the first two? Or I could play the first two during Gameday, pick up some XP at PaizoCon and be the right level for the third installment - if the stars all align proper-like.
Your thoughts?
Sior |
Prothero,
No, it is not a problem at all. While these scenarios are intended to be played in order, I see nothing currently saying they must be played back to back. If that were the case, why the hell would they make the third one a higher tier? I do currently expect that there will be some people unable to continue through to Part III. So we can consolidate tables as need be.
If it turns out we need to stagger a start for the third part, or delay it entirely until after Paizo Con, then that works. My goal is to give as much opportunity to those who want to play as I can! =)
Actually, I did not know when Paizo Con was this year, hahaha.

Here's an updated collection of names and levels. Nearly have two full tables already, though the levels are mostly middling.
1. Borax Bulan - Investigator 2
2. Arovandeon Isero - Alchemist 3
3. Mikhaere - Druid 3
4. Ouroborei - Wizard 4
5. Professor Dario Westone - Archaeologist 1
6. Ikerhsien - Rogue 2
7. Tektite - ________
8. Darvik Willowbrook - Fighter 2
9. Guildord Baldwin - Wizard 3
10. Prothero Crace - Zen Archer 1
One lvl 4
Three lvl 3
Three lvl 2
Two lvl 1
One flexible.
These levels, of course, may change before the start date, but it gives us a jumping off point.

Great! Then I'd like to jump on board. The idea of playing two scenarios, and thus having multiple opportunities for boons, is very attractive, assuming I've understood how that works in this situation.
Looks like we're overall pretty melee-light, and being an archer, Prothero won't be changing that much. Curious to see who else shows up.
Edit: ninja'd by the DM! We're a wee bit less melee light now that the list is updated.
ZanThrax |
I'm not sure yet Sior. I've got so many 1st level society characters to pick from. I'll have a look at who's in the list already and what the setting of the scenario is and then pick one who fits best.
edit: Alkenstar Thrune (Archaeologist 1, Qadiran faction) will hopefully be finished Voice in the Void by then (we started the first week of December and have been in the what I hope is the final room for the last couple weeks). If he's somehow still not available, I'll start a new Osirion faction cleric instead.
Sior |
No worries! I can completely understand that.
Updated roster.

With Tektite going where he wants to, hahaha.

Some curious composition in both groups: the low table has 2 rogues, a rogue-ish bard, a fighter, an archer and a PC to be named later. We are divine-less, not so very arcane-loaded, and skilled for days, though perhaps not overly knowledgeable. And at least 4 of us should be quite stealthy.
We clearly need a barbarian! Or maybe Zanthrax should go with his cleric plan. Maybe that'd be better.

[dice=Survival]1d20+12
You know you wanna get us into high tier, maaaan...
Ouch!
Well...I was thinking of bringing my Osirion Gunslinger (Musket Master) 3 / Alchemist (Grenadier) 1, but by the time this roles around, I should also have my Sczarni Ranger (Freebooter) 2 / Bard (Seas Singer) 2 available as well.
I know Sior loves Gunslingers!
Sior |
Elena, I'm sorry I totally missed your post until now. Tektite distracted me with talk of gunslingers! Hahaha.
Aarvid, plugging you into the tentative high-tier table, either 3 or 5 would still put the table at high tier

We just finished up Voices in the Void, so Alkenstar is free. But I think I like my new Cleric enough to go that way. Although, I may take advantage of the society rules about making changes between scenarios for the first level if AP 80 comes out before he hits level 2. Depending on what the subdomains of the old Osirion gods turn out to be, I may decide to switch from Nethys to one of the ancients.
