And thus began a new game...
The way Silverhex works:
There are 6 quests.
Each one is fairly short (think 1-2 encounters where they could be both roleplay, both combat, or a mix).
As you complete quests, you unlock greater rewards on the chronicle sheet:
1 quest = 100gp 1xp 1pp
2 quests = 250gp 1xp 1pp
3 quests = 250gp 1xp 1pp + boon
4 quests = 350gp 1xp 2pp
5 quests = 500gp 1xp 2pp
6 quests = 500gp 1xp 2pp + another boon
At any point, you can decide you're done questing (and I can try to substitute you out, or just continue on if others want to keep playing).
You can then take this chronicle, assuming it's not complete with 6 quests checked off, and decide to carry it around until you do check off as many quests as you want to. At whatever point you decide you're done checking off quests from this sheet (could be 1, could be all 6), you can then apply the chronicle to one of your existing PFS characters. Once you play any other scenario on that PFS character, you can't continue to check off quests on this sheet.
So, if you decided you wanted to stop at 3 quests and apply the chronicle to your xxxx-4 for example, you could do so. You could keep playing here assuming we do all 6, and then you can take those next 3 quests and apply them to your xxxx-5 for example.
Awaiting check-in from:
Zinou (Zadim)
Weiji (pre-gen TBD)
Mike Anderson (Eleanor Savet? is that a new psychic pre-gen?)
Lithrac (Hayato or Kyra)
This is a classic table, so any of the pre-gens for the classes from CRB, APG, UM, UC or ACG.
Thinking maybe Seoni(Sorc.), Kyra(Cleric), Oloch(Warpriest), Shardra (Shaman)...
Also, you can choose to create an alias for like "Quinn the Investigator" and use his picture to post.
Or if you want to use another alias to post from, it would help me (and the rest of your party) if you put your pre-gen name in every post in bold or something. :)
Hi there! Zinou here. Do you want us to write everything that is on the sheet in our character's description ?
Yes please, that would make my life MUCH easier when I need to resolve anything against the PC... plus the game will run smoother/quicker, which means everyone wins.
Done! :)
First post up.
As you settle on the pre-gen you wish to play, go ahead and check in as that pre-gen.
No stats needed yet, we'll likely just be orienting ourselves for a day or so.

Thanks, Scott! If these are as good as "The Overflow Archive", we're in for a treat. Seriously, this scenario is probably one of most innovative and fun I've played in a long time.
Looks like we're off and rolling.
Go ahead and post here for the virtual sign-in sheet your information for chronicles as I get to them:
Player Name
PFS ID that will receive credit
Faction for the PFS ID that will receive credit
Pre-gen used
I believe it's level 1 only but I'm waiting an answer from GM...
I was hoping to be able to apply it to a lvl 2 :/
It's not exactly clear.
I *think* the others may be correct that it needs to be applied to a level 1 character, but some forums searching and confirmation from PFS Management may be in order.
You will receive somewhere between 100-500gp on the chronicle (the exact amount depending on how many quests you complete), so it would be less than desirable to give to a level 3 character who would normally earn ~1200gp from any other chronicle sheet.
PFS works in a tier system. All of the stuff for tier 1-2 is designed for 1st lvl characters. I have already searched the forums and could not find an answer. The product page also fails to be clear in this point. The thing that makes me unsure about assigning the credit to a 2nd lvl is the use of pregens. But "We be goblins" also use pregens and you can apply the credit to a 2nd lvl...
Since this scenario has a lot of special rules it would be great to find an official answer.
You can take a look at the chronicle sheet here.
It's fairly unique in terms of its presentation, lacking in the usual section where the applicable tiers would be.
Indeed.
How does that "Pleasure Doing Business" boom works? Can you go back to an old chronicle to buy itens from it once your character have enough money to purchase them?
Yep.
Items always work that way. In this case, Silverhex is less expensive than it normally would be, too.
|
It's a reasonably sensible way to handling loot dispersion. That way you don't have one *key* item drop and the entire expedition devolves into an hours-long discussion of 'whose lewt is it, anyways?'
The 'fluff' the way I feel it is that the Society takes the items when the mission is done that you don't purchase and puts them into an inaccessible vault, but has them tagged so you can 'buy' them later if desired when you have money.
Very well! :)

The link was in DM Panic's first post about the cemetery.
Here's the map's link.
That would actually be a wrap for the first quest, as you've secured the tapestry within the mausoleum!
It's a bit wonky with how to run things when you fail the Diplomacy check to calm her as you destroy her family's mausoleum.
Feel free to roleplay out the final moments while I set up for the next quest.
You can also drop out, or switch pre-gens if desired at this time.
Yeah, that quest depends heavily on single rolls, including Diplomacy checks and Rhiannon's Will save vs. Color Spray!
DM, very clever to use a sound file for the talking bust. And great role-playing from everybody! This was a lot of fun to read. Enjoy the remaining quests!
Hi guys.
I am making a short trip tomorrow and have just discovered my destination have no internet access. I should be back by sunday, please bot Amiri as needed. If the party reach the third quest before I am back I will bow out before that one. Sorry for the inconvenience.
It's only for level 1 PCs, so I'll update to assign to your -2.
Congrats all and thanks for playing.
It's dated roughly when we began as opposed to when we finished (mostly because I wrote up the chronicle over a week ago and don't have access to Photoshop to update the date at this time today!)
