Rival explorers have beaten the Pathfinders to a valuable site in Katapesh, but fortunately most of the riches—including the obscure text the Society sought in the first place—have ended up in the capitol’s extensive bazaars. What is at first a routine shopping trip spirals out of control as the PCs uncovers the writing’s secret past—and secret messages.

Hi everyone,
I'm going to offer a Core table of the first scenario of Season 7. This is a tier 1-5 scenario. I'd slightly prefer to run the high tier for a bit of variety versus how I ran in person, though I'm open to either.
This scenario would begin September 19.
Please let me know if there are any other questions.
Thanks!

So far, it looks like we have the following interest:
High Tier:
Doubtful: Monk 4
Mid Tier:
Wakedown: TBD 3
Ghrdn: Ranger 3
Low Tier:
Luke Parry: TBD 1-2
Taidus Raine: Monk 1
If low tier ends up having stronger interest, we'll end up going that way. Most of the core offerings seemed to be 1-2, so I thought I'd try to open up a different option.
This scenario can be relatively RP heavy if people want to get into that sort of thing, and a couple of encounters can be a bit involved. Still, I'll be aiming to wrap things up in time for 11/5, and the start of the multi-table special. It does seem to run fairly quickly in person, though I don't know how that tends to transfer to PBP.

Ok, so if we were to go high, we'd have two level 4, two level 3 right now. If Luke Parry and Ilmakis joined with level 2's, we'd be at an average of 3 exactly. That would mean tier 4-5 with the 4 player adjustment. How would people feel about that?
I think level 2's would generally be OK in the adjusted combats, though crits and such do happen. Level 1 is probably a bit too squishy.

Gayel, I'm sorry but I'm going to opt for higher level characters. Still looking forward to meeting Yable in Siege of Serpents, though!
We'll be taking the following party:
Doubtful: Monk 4
Pirate Rob: TBD 4
Ghrdn: Ranger 3
Wakedown: TBD 3
Ilmakis: TBD (Cleric or Wizard) 2
Luke_Parry: Archer 2 or Pregen 4
I'll open up gameplay and discussion threads in case you want to dot in. We won't start until 9/19, but you're welcome to do IC intros if you feel so inclined. Consider yourselves on a slow boat from Absalom to Katapesh.

Rob's an Archer Bard (checked in in Discussion). Ilmakis is a Level 2 Cleric of Norgorber. Shh!. The Ranger is a switch hitter, so between him and the Monk there's a bit of melee to be had.
If you're still indecisive, I'd say that Dark Archive, Exchange, and Grand Lodge would be the most thematically appropriate factions.
