GM Zinou's Siege of the Serpents, PbP Gameday IV (Inactive)

Dark Archive

The Pathfinder Society has opened its gates to visitors from across the world in anticipation of the Grand Convocation, a magnificent festival in which Pathfinders share tales of their exploits, show off their findings, and celebrate the Society’s accomplishments. However, an inopportune accident quickly spirals out of control when an old enemy attempts a brazen assault on the Pathfinders’ home, and an unexpected foe emerges from hiding to seek vengeance for the Society’s perceived crimes. Can the Pathfinders pacify the chaos and protect their guests while simultaneously defending the Grand Lodge?

Dear Pathfinders, the adventure will begin the 5th of November 2015.
What I need from you is to write here the character you will use and his/her details.

Reminder about the Aid Token:

Aid Tokens

During the event, it is possible for characters at one table to assist those at another through the use of Aid Tokens.

Each Aid Token represents the assistance of one or more allied Pathfinder agents who strive to restore order and repel invaders across the Grand Lodge’s campus.

The House begins with a number of Aid Tokens equal to one fifth the number of tables, and the Overseer GM will distribute these at random to tables at the end of Act 1.

During Act 2, PCs have the opportunity to recover supplies recovered or granted by the staff of the Grand Lodge or other sources. When the House accrues enough Supply Points, the Overseer GM will distribute additional Aid Tokens to represent the increased number of resources at the Society’s disposal.

Once per encounter, any character at a table can use an Aid Token to assist the group in one of five ways described below. Once a table uses an Aid Token, the token grants no further benefit until the end of the encounter, at which point one of the players can pass the Aid Token to a neighboring table for them to use. [In our case the Table GM will inform the Overseer that the token has been used and should be passed on to a new table.) It is very important that the players remember that there are a limited number of Aid Tokens, and hoarding one means that somebody else doesn’t get to use it.

An Aid Token’s benefits vary based on the table’s subtier, and these benefits can take one of the following five forms.

Aid Another: A Pathfinder agent helps the PCs solve a puzzle, disable a trap, or accomplish some other task as if performing the aid another action for a PC. In Subtiers 5–6 and 7–8, the bonus granted increases by 1. In Subtier 10–11, the bonus increases by 2.

Allied Offensive: A Pathfinder agent strikes a creature at the same time as the PC, increasing the damage dealt by one attack by 1d8 points. In addition, after the attack, the target is considered to be flanked until the beginning of the attacker’s next turn. In Subtiers 5–6 and 7–8, increase the damage dealt to 2d8 points. In Subtier 10–11, this amount increases to 3d8 points.

Burst of Healing: A Pathfinder agent heals all of the PCs of 1d6 points of damage. In Subtiers 5–6 and 7–8, the amount healed increases to 3d6 points. In Subtier 10–11, the amount healed increases to 5d6 points. Alternatively, in any subtier the agent can instead cast neutralize poison, remove curse, or remove disease with a caster level equal to the table’s APL (minimum 5).

Spellcasting Synergy: A Pathfinder agent casts a spell at the same time, increasing the save DC and caster level of a PC’s spell by 1. In Subtiers 7–8 and 10–11, the PC’s caster level instead increases by 2.

Timely Inspiration: A Pathfinder agent provides the effects of a bard’s inspire courage bardic performance for 3 rounds. In Subtiers 1–2 and 3–4, the competence bonus is +1. In Subtiers 5–6 and 7–8, the competence bonus increases to +2. In Subtier 10–11, the competence bonus increases to +3.

This puzzle is miserable! We are closing in on a week with nothing happening except not being able to find the mirror.

If anyone has a voice to a higher up after this gameday is over, could you please tell them how awful this is? This sort of thing does not work in PBP format, IMHO.

Well, I think I'd be frustrated with it at a table, too. Personally, I think it's a puzzle that needs more hints. (You're also not helped by having three GMs playing at the table, so you have fewer people to brainstorm.)

So, yes, while I think it's a bit harder in PbP (especially without being able to get subtle hot|cold hints from the GM's face), I blame the scenario as much as the format.

If it helps, most other tables are in the same place. This is normal.

Lastly, there is a good reason for the break in the action ... enjoy it!

I sort of railroaded mine else they're never going to get it. The clues aren't exactly helpful in this case and the true clue that could help is at a rather high DC to spot.

One thing I'm a bit surprised at is neither this table nor the one I'm running used detect magic as part of their search. That might have focused the puzzle a bit.

Thanks, Zinou! I had a great bit of fun. This was a long, but fun scenario.

Still not convinced about playing a rogue, but that's not a GM problem, it's a player problem.
