[ACG] [CaG] [SoFF] Season of Factions' Favor Adventure 1+ (Inactive)

Game Master Hawkmoon269

  The dwarf screams at the sky, his face twisting with rage.
  “How dare she use me like this? I’ll kill her!” He startles as if noticing you for the first time. “Hey, cool your fireballs. Muhlia al-Jakri’s vampire pal made me do all this. If you’re going after al-Jakri, I’m in. I know she hates you Pathfinders, and I want to teach her what happens when you mess with Urgraz!”
  You recall the mutilated clergy of Sarenrae as he rages at your foe from afar.
  A bloodthirsty grin spreads across his face. “C’mon, you know you wanna.”
  Away from the sight of the guards, the choice of whether or not to accept his offer falls squarely in your hands.

Scenario Reward
For the rest of the Adventure Path, 1 character may temporarily replace 1 weapon in his deck with the weapon Ooze Falchion +1. At the end of each scenario, return the card to the game box.
Each player may, for each future scenario, choose to exchange his character that completed this scenario with Urgraz from Hell’s Vengeance Character Deck 1. Urgraz gets the same number of skill, power, and card feats as the exchanged character, as well as all other applicable rewards that character has earned (including any valid deck upgrades and a role card if appropriate). Build Urgraz’s deck from the Hell’s Vengeance Character Deck 1 box using the Hierarchy from the Pathfinder Society Adventure Card Guild Guide. The exchanged character receives any rewards and upgrades from the scenario. Report the character as Unlocked Antipaladin Urgraz.

Upgrading Item B Codex into Item 2 Gem of Mental Acuity
As Grazzle apprehended Urgraz, the sorcerer had a stunning sense of deja vu as Urgraz tried to win the party's support. Seoni finally pieced together the Pharasman pattern. "A wise cleric... an intelligence hellknight... a charismatic antipaladin..." she murmured. Seemingly at random, the sorcerer bought a gem for sale in the marketplace, a shining souvenir of her time in Merab. "Vacation's over."

4-2: FANNING THE FLAMES
  The fortress city of Zimar buzzes with a palpable tension as you disembark your ship. The mix of Qadiran and Taldan influences in the architecture stand as testament to the ever-shifting borders between the two nations. For now, at least, Zimar is part of Taldor.
  You make your way to meet Venture-Captain Cordelia Perseis. The young Taldan marquess smiles and beckons you to approach. You know she is a Shelynite wizard specializing in information gathering. Her appointment to venture-captain is recent; she has no lodge of her own, and has taken to serving as a point of contact for “at-large” Taldor missions while Venture-Captains Muesello and Themis handle their respective lodges. She is a noted supporter of Princess Eutropia, the child heiress of the Grand Prince of Taldor.
  “Ah, welcome! Right on time!” The venture-captain gives a small, knowing smile before gesturing to places at a table stocked with just-cooked plates of your favorite foods. “I can’t tell you how helpful you’ve been in uncovering the details of Pasha Muhlia al-Jakri’s conspiracy to foment war between Taldor and Qadira. I’ve called you here because two recent incidents have stoked the flames of war. I suspect al-Jakri may be behind either or both, so I would like you to investigate them with me.
  “First, a number of people have gone missing lately, including the daughter of this prefecture’s most prestigious senator. Senator Karthis is a Qadira hawk who makes High Strategos Pythareus look like a peacemaker by comparison. My divinations were unable to locate his daughter, so we presumed the worst. Karthis has publicly blamed the Qadirans for the kidnappings, but rumblings from Zimar’s undercity suggest otherwise.
  “Then, one of the schools of war in Omash, Qadira’s counterpart to Zimar, burned down. The Qadirans have been blaming Taldor for the arson, but it mirrored a chemical explosion instigated by the late Baron Jacquo Dalsine, a man who died to the pasha’s blades when she left the Society. I do not think that’s a coincidence.
  “I realized that the two may be connected after a Pathfinder agent in Omash reported seeing Sabina there. Hearing this, I invoked more powerful magics and confirmed that Sabina is alive, resisting my scrying. The fact that she shares her father’s fiery passions may explain this apparent deception.
  “You did better than I could have ever hoped retrieving information on al-Jakri, so I’ll leave it to you to decide which of the two crimes we investigate first: the disappearance or the arson. Let me be your eyes and ears for the investigation— you have my spells at your disposal at all times. Good luck, my friends!”

COMPLETE THESE SCENARIOS IN ANY ORDER:

4-2B: Mirror, Mirror
4-2C: Rumbles in Omash
4-2D: Cinders’ Truth
4-2E: Dark Nuptials

DURING THIS ADVENTURE
•The scourge die is 1d6.
•If the result of your check to acquire a boon equals the difficulty, you may draw a boon of the same type from the box.
•When creating the blessings deck, replace 1 blessing with the favor Sovereign Court Favor.

4-2A: MISSING PERSONS
  Venture-Captain Cordelia Perseis smiles. “Thank you for your diligence, my friends. We need to find evidence that the kidnapping of Senator Karthis’s daughter was not perpetrated by Qadira, and if we can prove that Pasha Muhlia al-Jakri, was behind it, all the better. While it seems likely that we will eventually end up in Omash, where Sabina was last seen, I’d like us first to head to Zimar’s undercity and parlay with the self-proclaimed Otyugh King Gulreesh. Bizarre as it may seem, he tends to have the best information in the city.”
  You head into the undercity, making your way past sewers and structures forgotten when new conquerors built over the old. You eventually reach the enormous cistern where the Otyugh King holds court. Gulreesh is a hideous creature, basically a giant stinking mouth with three tentacles writhing around his body in a grand gesture. “Greetings!” the filthy creature says in startlingly perfect Taldane, “I’ve heard good things about the Pathfinder Society, at least inasmuch as you’re great troubleshooters. You’re here about the kidnappings, no?”
  You quickly agree while attempting to wrestle your breakfast back into the pit of your stomach.
  “Good!” he exclaims, still befuddling you with his conversational skills. “I have the information you want, but it’s not free. A group of smugglers has been encroaching on my territory. Drive away the smugglers, and the information is yours.”
  Reluctantly, you trudge through the undercity again, through foul and pungent sewers. Finally, you reach the smugglers’ hideout, where you are predictably ambushed. It’s going to be one of those days.

Reiko was able to hide from the Smuggler ambush. Sorry everyone, but efficiency demands I do this, as she sprints past the crowd to try and root out the leader.

Grazzle arrives at the Catacombs and makes a treaty with the local elementals. Immediately afterwords he is ambushed by a smuggler demanding to know the whereabouts of some wild looking female gnome.

Having never met the woman and not interesting in having his personal space invaded Grazzle reacts.

Elemental Treaty displayed at Catacombs and it prevents the 1 BYA poison damage.

Mavaro pulls the blade out just in time to meet the hyena's master. The Bonecrusher drives Mavaro backwards into the the wall. Mavaro's strength fades as he parries blow after blow. Just when he doesn't think he can do anymore, he sees an opening. Quickly, he cuts deep into the Hyenamaster's guts and in a moment, the combat is done.

Leaning on the blade, "I need a godsdamned drink."

Reiko dashed towards an opening that led her close to the Precinct of Left Eyes. She'd start there. She stops at an Osirian charm similar to the ones that her trader would display.

She encountered a Skeletal Jackal. She decided to bust through, though not happily, since none of her usual Poison tricks would work.

It took some effort, but down it went. She explored some more, to see if the charm had any clues on it.

Continuing at the PoLE.

Reiko encountered Sebti the Crocodile. Reiko decided Sebti was too dangerous to roam around, so she used the Crown to... convince Sebti to join.

She immediately questioned her about the area. Sebti reported the location of a Spelldagger, which Reiko immediately picked up. (Ranged 4 = autoacquire).

It is the hour of Ra.

Ezren gives his Cure scroll to Mavaro, hoping that it will be more useful to him.

I believe it was Mavaro's intention to then Compass away from Vizier's Hill.

Ezren draws his cloak about him and moves forward to confront the silver-haired smuggler of chains. "Don't you think your life would be simpler if you just started paying the chain tax?!? It's not really that high, you know..."

BYA Diplomacy 5: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 The smuggler stops to consider this just long enough for Ezren to do his thing.

PharasmaDay.

Mavaro takes Ezren's healing power and bestows it upon Reiko.

Hour: Sovereign Court Favor
Blessing of the Ancients*, Galvanic Chakram +1, Blessing of the Quartermaster C, Sebti the Crocodile* shuffled in.

Continuing at the Precinct, there should be things left to do. There was a Djinni Quarterstaff lying around:

Strength 6: 1d6 + 1d12 ⇒ (1) + (3) = 4

The Quarterstaff was just an illusion. Continuing (discard Ubashki)

Reiko had finally found the Raid Leader. Attempting to sneak around:

Stealth 7: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

And hit her where it hurts:

Combat 11: 1d10 + 5 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 5 + (3) = 10

Rerolling Combat:

reroll d10: 1d10 ⇒ 9

Raid Leader goes down, even though it was close.

Asking the Sage to figure out what to do next. (explore, cause Raid Leader doesn't allow close). The Sage said the answer was found in the canteen.

Intelligence 6: 1d6 + 1d12 ⇒ (2) + (5) = 7

In the Canteen was a message: "I'm not here, silly." That was unhelpful.

But there was also a Potion of Healing next to the canteen, and that was useful. (Sovereign Court)

Using Blessing of Abadar from Mavaro and Blessing of the Gods from Seoni to close.

Charisma 6: 2d8 ⇒ (4, 5) = 9
Intelligence 6: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5

Discard the Blessing of Maat to make it and close. (Sadly, no items in discard)
