Determining Gold Earned for Risen From the Sands


GM Discussion

Sovereign Court 1/5

So, I recently ran Risen from the Sands and for the first time ever, I had a group that did not do so well in it, and in fact had to run from the last encounter. So, not understanding the rules as to how to deal with a primary mission not being completed I made a mistake with the chronicle sheets. Thankfully one of the players was kind enough to let me know of my mistake and here I am.

I have corrected most of the chronicle, but seem to be at a loss to determine how much gold the PCs have earned. Reading through the scenario, there seems to be about 6500 gp worth of treasure and this does not include magic items. The problem is the chronicle only has 1237 gold The PCs completed the following encounters:

They ran from the pyramid.
They defeated the mimic.
They killed the swarm.
They killed the harem guards
They beat the actual harem.

So from here, how do I determine how much gold the PCs earned? Thank you for your help.

Risen from the Sands is a module. Provided they complete the module they get all of the gold on the Chronicle. See page 31 of the Season 7 guide and:

Free RPG Day Modules

The 16-page, Free RPG Day modules are more in line with a normal Pathfinder Society Scenario. Currently, these include Master of the Fallen Fortress, We Be Goblins!, Dawn of the Scarlet Sun, We Be Goblins Too!, & Risen From the Sands. To bring the Free RPG Day modules more in
line with the rest of Pathfinder Society Organized Play, all current and future sanctioned Free RPG Day modules will award 1 XP, 1 PP and the gp amount listed on the Chronicle sheet if using the medium advancement track. If using the slow advancement track, they award
1/2 XP, 1/2 PP and half the gp listed on the Chronicle sheet. These apply only on successful completion of the adventure. If you have played any of the Free RPG Day modules listed above and been awarded Chronicle sheets for them, the XP, Prestige Points, and gp you received
remain unchanged. All other rules for sanctioned module play, found in Chapter 6 of the Guide to Pathfinder Society Organized Play, should be followed.

The minimum possible reward is 0 gp, 1 XP and 1 PP on the medium advancement track or 0 gp 1/2 XP, and 1/2 Prestige Point on the slow advancement track. If a character participates in more than 2/3 of the module, she should receive the full rewards.

Right on. I've talked to some other GMs and decided to give half of the gold for not actually completing the module, but having successfully gone through half of it. (7 out of 13 possible encounters)
