[PFS] The Midnight Mauler (Tier 3-7)


Recruitment

Dark Archive

Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y'all's neighborhood

Well Met.

My name is Nebten, and I'm looking for 4 to 6 people who would like to play through the Pathfinder Society scenario, The Midnight Mauler. It was written by Crystal Frasier. I picked this scenario and decided to run it now so that we can reach the climax by Halloween. (insert evil Transylvania laugh). The description of the scenario is as follows:

The Decemvirate sends members of the Pathfinder Society to the former crown jewel of Ustalav's royal courts, the decaying city of Ardis. Tasked by the Society to look into the fate of Absalom's former Master of Blades, Vonran Vilk, what they find will lead to exploration, diplomacy, murder, haunted pasts, and tragic love. Can the PCs stop the rampage of the Midnight Mauler before he kills again?

This will be run as a legal Pathfinder Society game, so all the characters will earn a PFS Chronicle for their efforts.

I will run this scenario either under tier 3-4 or 6-7. The tier choice will be picked depending on the characters submitted.

Some ground rules:

* Please apply only if you are able to post at least once a day throughout the week. More frequently is welcomed. If the party is in a battle and the PC doesn't act within 48 hours after the monsters act, I reserve the right to bot the PC or have the character go full-defensive.

* When we are ready to "move on" from an encounter/environment I will need at least 2 people to agree on a course of action before moving on with said course of action.

* I reserve the right to roll a skill check, saving throw, AoO, ect for your character. The reason is to keep the pace of the game flowing. If there is an error with the roll, feel free to let me know.

* No meta-gaming, faerie whispering or telling people what they should do during a battle or conversations. Only short phrases should be used on your turn during combat.

* I ask that you do not read spoiler tags that are not in your name.

I will start once I see a group of Pathfinders I want to run that have applied or after a week of recruitment. I use Google Docs for maps. There will be a link at the top of the page.

Please provide a completed character with its PFS number. If you wish, provide a brief narrative along with any other information that "sells" your PC. Please inform me of anything that may seems "extra-ordinary" compared to a character of comparable level (ie: I have +30 to Diplomacy at level 3)

My PFS take between 4 to 12 weeks to complete.

Any other questions, feel free to ask.

Let's Boogy Down!
Neb da GM.

Ok, I'll bite! I probably have too many PbPs going right now, but a couple should be over soon.

Guilford is a pretty bland wizard, not very well optimized in many respects. But he can buff, blast, and do utility/investigative stuff.

At 5th level, I'm game for either subtier.


NEB!!!!

How are you? I've already done Midnight Mauler with Endless, or I'd sign up for sure. Haven't been in a game with Shan or Zynep for a long time.

Nebten runs an excellent PbP.

Sovereign Court

Would like to submit Alafair for consideration. Level 5 sorceress with elemental bloodline (electrical).

She is fresh off capturing the pirate Darseille DuMoire (Scenario 00-02 The Hydra's Fang Incident) and hopes to be assigned a mission where she'll spend much less time in the water, as it tends to make her hair all frizzy...

Yo Wolfe!

I'm living the dream. Or life is but a dream. I forget how that goes.

I poke around a bit to see if there is a game for Shan or Zynep, but most of the time I've either played it or its out of tier.

Depending on how this game and life is, I maybe running The Harrowing in the future. I have some out of the box ideas for that module.

Thanx for the promo bump. =v)

Very little water exposure in this one, Alafair.

Scarab Sages

Hey Neb,

I've got Ruprecht free. Freshly achieved 5th level crypt breaker alchemist. He's ready to roll, if selected. All info is in profile.

The Exchange

Count me in for consideration at the higher tier, Nebten.

Good to see you, again.

Dark Archive

Wow. So we have four at fifth level so far. We'll keep recruitment open for awhile longer to see if anybody stumbles in.

Scarab Sages

A swashbuckler, alchemist, sorcerer, and wizard! Wow, what a party makeup. It might be worth our while to buy a scroll of two of some sort of Monster Summoning to give us another body or two up in the front lines. Healing will be a problem, too. Ru is pretty good at UMD, but there will be some failures involved, unfortunately.

Grand Lodge

Ulflafa would like to apply. Oracle of Battle 4/Barbarian 1

*no, she's not a very good tank. I'll have to update her profile, but only a 17 AC while raging.

Grand Lodge

Ill submit Floggentop Wizzbottle, Gnome Bard 5.. He's not very good at fighting himself but is good at making others fight well and is a very knowledgeable/social creature..

Scarab Sages

I can definitely afford to buy and scribe Summon Monster III. D3 elementals or a leopard with pounce and three attacks could be quite useful.

Scarab Sages

Ulflafa will definitely help with our front liner problem, but having that spell available might not hurt with this party makeup.

Grand Lodge

Ulflafa is updated.

While she has taken the front line for parties of casters, she tends to go down quickly if focused upon.

Filios is pretty decent in melee, and can certainly support Ulflafa on the front lines with flanking.

# 151769-4 PF Serial. Cleaned it up a bit now that I'm home. Would love to play. (Ser Clay^^)

Grand Lodge

Natural Attacking Angry Bird at your service. I'm built for front lining and have some solid backup healing with the Healing Blessing(minor).

Well, I'll go ahead and take all 7 of you. But I'm going to run it at tier 6-7. If you are cool with that, head on over to the gameplay and discussion threads.

And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpse's shell

The Exchange

In case folks don't show up Farg would be ready for this within a minutes notice.

Scarab Sages

Well, sorry if I am a wet blanket, being first to volunteer and all, but my other games just haven't moved as fast as I was hoping. I think it would be best if I sit out after all. But maybe that's good for Farg.
