CHASING YELLOW SAILS

Still recovering from the fierce battle for Absalom, the Pathfinder Society was appalled to hear reports that a former ally—onetime faction leader Pasha Muhlia al-Jakri—helped coordinate the betrayal and subsequent two-pronged attack that had threatened the city. Though citizens, soldiers, and Pathfinders alike rose up to thwart the foul plot, the assassin al-Jakri managed a narrow escape. Not only is the Pathfinder Society embarrassed to have trusted a betrayer for so many years, but it is horrified that she used Society connections to nearly bring Absalom to its knees. Uncertain whether she may possess other secrets or allies, the Pathfinder Society desperately needs to track down and capture al-Jakri before she can hatch any other sinister plots. You have been set the task of bringing her to justice.

After some preliminary investigation, it becomes clear that most of al-Jakri’s lieutenants perished in the battle. There is one who was seen escaping, however: a Keleshite man named Satyar Siddique. He was last seen boarding a ship that was then intercepted by a large galley bearing the infamous yellow sails of an Okeno slaving ship. Siddique is now undoubtedly being ferried to Stonespine Island off the coast of Katapesh to be auctioned off at Okeno’s notorious Fleshfairs—markets where slaves of all races and nationalities are sold like chattel. If the Society wants any chance of stopping anything al-Jakri may be setting in motion, you must track down Siddique and convince him to share what he knows. Every moment you delay brings him a greater risk of being traded, tortured, or killed by slavers who are unaware how valuable he is.

Venture-Captain Roderus of the Winding Road Lodge, one of the Pathfinder Society’s local headquarters in Katapesh, has done all he can to equip you for your mission and warn you of the cruel gnolls that are seen as villains elsewhere yet are welcome in Okeno. You’ll cross to Stonespine Island on a merchant ship, and from there you must keep a low profile to avoid unwanted attention. Into the Yellow City of Okeno you must go, with hopes you will not fall to a slaver’s noose.

4-1A: AMID THE YELLOW CITY

Yellow sails crowd the harbor city of Okeno as your ship draws nearer to the bustling docks. Yellow Harbor—also known as the Skindock—teems with life as every ship crawls with merchants loading and unloading their wares. Peering beneath the slats of the raised boardwalks, you can see slavers driving herds of shackled souls into the filthy tunnel system known as the Sweatways. With barely more than a name and a scant description, it’ll be difficult to find one prisoner in a sea of slaves.

You have relatively few details about your quarry, a Keleshite lieutenant named Satyar Siddique. He is likely now a servant to an unknown master in the Yellow City. You must find him to extract his knowledge of the whereabouts of his former leader, Pasha Muhlia al-Jakri, before he falls to the fate of all slaves in Okeno. Okeno is hardly the friendliest place for those not in the slave-trading business, so finding information about your target without drawing attention will be key. The city may boast a low crime rate, but this is because criminals are sold into slavery without a thought, to say nothing of a trial. Having secured passage from the capital city of Katapesh to Stonespine Island on a merchant ship, you should blend in well enough for the time being. You convinced a couple of seasoned crew members to tell tales of their previous trips to Okeno, so you have a few ideas of where to start looking for information. There’s always plenty to learn in the right tavern or gambling hall.

It will be difficult to find anyone willing to disrupt the slave trade. To that end, you must contact one of the undercover Eagle Knights, a military organization from Andoran that raises hell for slavers throughout the Inner Sea region. But take care not to be overheard by the wrong folks, as governor Morio Midasi has eyes and ears around the city, reporting back to him if they spot anything that may interrupt the business of his more well-heeled friends…

“Well, a mission that needs tact and diplomacy, I’m sure I can help with that.”

What does the Liberty’s Edge Favor do? Since Grazzle has at least 1 of every card type in his deck and a hand size of 6 I'll start at the Dye Market.

So the player who is active when it is revealed gets a random ally and the next player (Assuming they notice/remember) gets +1d4 to a couple of checks. Cool.

So the player who is active when it is revealed gets a random ally and the next player (Assuming they notice/remember) gets +1d4 to a couple of checks. Cool.

Same player gets both. It is the top card of the blessings discard on the same turn that the player discards it.

Erasmus will start at the Warehouse.

Using Baylock as his Spirit Relatives. (Stat adjustments figured into stat block already)

Making favored card be Weapon.

Qualzar has high Cha and Int so the Precinct of Left Eyes would make sense.

After some discussion with the other adventurers, Aric stands up and pick his pouch.

“Well, dear Pathfinders colleagues, I’ll head to the Precinct of Left Eyes with Qualzar to see if we can find a lead on Satyar Siddique.”

During the travel to the place, Aric tells Qualzar :

“Let me ask around first, I have a way with words and people”

Aric starts at the Precinct of Left Eyes and will play first.

I think I will start seeking out these Eagle Knights at the Dilapidated Plaza.

Mogmurch starts at Caravanserai.

Holding off on drawing my hand for now. There's a possibility I may add an Ultimate deck tomorrow and since this is a new character I may have some changes. Since the gameday starts Monday should be fine right? ;)

Same there, I’ll draw once I know if I’ll have received my add on deck or not, during the afternoon. It was sent late, so probably won’t have it at the start.

Mine just came in. Don't know which one I want to use yet... also at work and playing S&S Book 6 card game tonight so won't be able to look at it until tomorrow.

The Red Raven jumps at his targets, and with a swift move cut his enemy throat.

He then hides around to look around, sticking to shadows.

Notes:
Sideboard cards:

Well done, Erasmus. That's one location down.

When Aric informs him of the Bladeguard, Qualzar rubs his little hands together. "That would be a very useful thing!"

Revealing Blessing of the Gods 4 as if it were Blessing of Wadjet to gain 1d4 to a check to acquire a boon.

Intelligence 6: 1d10 + 2 + 1d4 ⇒ (10) + 2 + (2) = 14

Qualzar snatches up the bladeguard and holds it handy. If I'm not mistaken, that means I add it to my deck handler?

Discarding Blessing of the Gods 1 to explore.

A giant mantis appears and squirts acid at the gnome! 1d4 ⇒ 4 He uses the just-acquired bladeguard to neutralize it. Banishing bladeguard to reduce acid damage to 0. Well, that didn't last long.

Discarding Blast Stone to use his sorcerer power.
arcane 9: 1d10 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 2 + (4) = 10
He attacks the vermin's mind and devastates it!

Discarding Blessing of the Gods 3 to explore.

He sees a blowgun available in a shop, and is eager to acquire it.

Revealing Blessing of the Gods 4 as if it were Blessing of Wadjet to gain 1d4 to a check to acquire a boon.

He offers to help the shopkeeper identify some obscure magic items in trade for the weapon.

Knowledge 5: 1d10 + 2 + 1d4 ⇒ (6) + 2 + (1) = 9

The trade made successfully, the gnome stows the blowgun in his belt and goes along his way, whistling happily. After a while he realizes the acid gave him some annoying burns he didn't notice before, so he goes to visit a surgeon before calling it a day.

Revealing and recharging the Surgeon card to shuffle a random card from my discard pile into my deck. Deck handler says: Blessing of the Gods 1. Drawing back up to my hand.

Hand: Blowgun, Force Missile, Black Spot, Blessing of the Gods 4, Sage, Codex,

Displayed:
Deck: 8 Discard: 2 Buried: 0
Notes: Feel free to use Black spot if necessary to reduce difficulty to defeat a monster by 2.
Sideboard cards:

Exploring is not examining, so the Acid Mantis never dealt damage to you. The "When you examine" text only applies if you examine the card while it is still in the location deck. These are called "trigger effects" and cards with "when you examine" powers also have the Trigger trait. I've bolded the Trigger trait on cards to make them easier to spot.

In any case, as you did not take any acid damage, you didn't banish Bladeguard, so that's still technically in your hand. Add it to the deck handler (in both tabs, including the "do not look" tab), and re-do your hand reset. Generally either you could have discarded Bladeguard at the end of the turn to get the same hand you currently have, or kept Bladeguard but draw 1 fewer card.

During This Adventure: The scourge die is 1d4+1.
When creating the blessings deck, replace 1 blessing with the support card Liberty’s Edge Favor (proxy with Defensive Stance).
If the result of your first check to defeat of your turn exceeds the difficulty by 7 or more, shuffle a monster from the box into your location deck.

During This Scenario: After you examine an ally from a location deck, put it on the bottom of that deck.
After you acquire an ally, you may immediately attempt to close your location.
To win, close all locations.

Ah, I see. In that case, I'll keep it and put back the card I drew most recently, which was the codex.

Hand: Blowgun, Force Missile, Black Spot, Blessing of the Gods 4, Sage, Bladeguard,

Displayed:
Deck: 9 Discard: 2 Buried: 0
Notes: Feel free to use Black spot if necessary to reduce difficulty to defeat a monster by 2.
Sideboard cards:

Grazzle's companions wondered at the odd beef jerky he pressed upon them earlier. But as Grazzle focuses his magic they all get the sudden urge to eat some of it and it is both tasty and healing.

Discard 5 cards to heal 10. Cure 2, Crocodile Skin Armor, Magical Child, Frigid Blast, Tussah Silk Coat

Red Raven heal 2
Mogmurch heal 3
Raz the Noble heal 3
Qualzar heal 2

Such powerful magic took a lot out of him and he spends a few moments healing himself.

Cure 1 targeting self, Auto recharge: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Heal Magical Child, Tussah Silk Coat

With everyone in good shape he begins to explore the Dye Market. And immediately runs into a Bonecrusher Hyenamaster.

I'm realizing that Raz's ability to help in combat isn't very practical in PbP unless he is okay with botting. Hopefully he is. Going to have to guess on what the Naginata does.

This will be a tough fight so Grazzle calls Raz for help. He quickly arrives on his mighty steed.

Raz is now at the Dye Market

Grazzle starts things off by spitting magical poison at the Hyenamaster.

Combat 9 using Viper Strike auto recharge and +1 from banner: 1d8 + 4 + 2d4 ⇒ (2) + 4 + (1, 3) = 10
Didn't beat it by 7 or more so no bad stuff.

Staggering around in pain Raz swings with his Naganata. Grazzle says a short prayer to the ancients as he does.

Combat 9 using Naganata + Banner. Grazzle recharges BotG as a copy of BotA to add 1 die.: 2d8 + 4 + 1d10 ⇒ (1, 3) + 4 + (8) = 16

Raz cuts his head clean off.

With Raz covering his back Grazzle risks exploring some more. Discard Blessing of the Spellbound 1 to explore.

Grazzle sighs. The combat has attracted a Skeletal Jackal and it attacks. Heavy Pick is not the right weapon for the job but Grazzle uses maximum effort.

combat 11 revealing then discarding Heavy Pick. And using banner: 3d6 + 1 ⇒ (5, 4, 2) + 1 = 12

Grazzle breathes heavily. Reminding himself to repair his pick when he has time. He sits down for a moment and rests.

Hand: Magical Child, Fire Snake, Blessing of the Spellbound 3, Fireblade, Tussah Silk Coat, Bestiary of Garund,

Deck: 4 Discard: 5 Buried: 0

Sideboard cards:

Staggering around in pain Raz swings with his Naganata. Grazzle says a short prayer to the ancients as he does.

As it staggers around in pain. Grazzle didn't poison Raz.

Healed up and shuffled thanks to Grazzle.

Staying at the Precint of Left Eyes, there is a barrier and a monster, the Red Raven might handle one of those before Qualzar can close the location.

The Red Raven starts looking around, hidden in shadows.

Having heard that a eagle night could be in an abandoned shop, he gets in but is only greetedd by a Malfunctioning Deathtrap.

Using power to examine at the end of my move step. Trigger trap. Using magnyfying glass.

Perception 4: 1d8 + 2 + 1d4 ⇒ (1) + 2 + (1) = 4

The Red Raven stop it on time. He tries to stealthily pass it by.

Stealth 5: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Did not beat the dc by 7

The Red Raven put back his magnifying glass in one of his pocket.

Recharging it for its power. I won’t shuffle, Psychic Detective next. Filling hand then

Curse of Poisoning random recharge: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Hand (Size 4): Psychic Detective (Ally), Kama (Weapon), Blessing of the Spy 2 (Blessing)

Displayed: Curse of Poisoining
Deck: 13 Discard: 0 Buried: 0
Notes:
Kit: Masque (Ally), Clockwork Spy (Ally), Metamorph (Ally)

Sorry, yeah, I should put more info on weapons in hand if people are going to use me for combat. Naginata is actually really cool and super useful for the overkill penalty in this adventure.

On Grazzle's turn, first heal all cards in discard. When he encounters the monster, display Banner, then bury Riding Horse to move to Dye Market. Re-rolling combat with correct dice, still using Grazzle's blessing, and only revealing the Naginata.

Raz's combat reroll: 4d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4, 7, 6, 4) + 2 + 1 = 24 Remove the 7 to make this a 17. Since this is not "the first check to defeat of your (my) turn", no bad stuff.

Raz flies in, bouncing on the back of the horse. She swings the naginata, slashing at the Hyenamaster, delivering the final blow. She nods to Grazzle and thanks him for his healing powers.She continues to cheer him on as he takes out a nasty looking Skeletal Jackal.

Updating hand:

Hand (Size 4): Naginata, BotGods
Displayed: Banner
Deck: 12 Discard: 0 Buried: 1
Notes: Displayed banner gives us +1 to all combat checks until anybody fails a check to defeat a bane. Use my blessing for emergencies only

Ouch. Didn't know you had to bury the horse to move. I probably wouldn't have had you move if I had known.

No worries. The first power upgrade I get will be to turn that into a discard.

During This Adventure: The scourge die is 1d4+1.
When creating the blessings deck, replace 1 blessing with the support card Liberty’s Edge Favor (proxy with Defensive Stance).
If the result of your first check to defeat of your turn exceeds the difficulty by 7 or more, shuffle a monster from the box into your location deck.

During This Scenario: After you examine an ally from a location deck, put it on the bottom of that deck.
After you acquire an ally, you may immediately attempt to close your location.
To win, close all locations.
