On a recent foray into Kwanlai, the Pathfinder Society learned that a conniving being from the Abyss has been targeting righteous communities on the border between the tengu nation and Tianjing to the south.
Honored Pathfinders and treasured colleagues,
I received an urgent request from an old friend of our Society, the samurai Shiyo Takarak of the Way of the Kirin. To my surprise, she has been working with another, more recently acquired friend of the Society: an archon of Heaven named Zepha. The two, it seems, have been pursuing leads discovered by one of our Society’s previous expeditions into the Kimu Mountains. Clearly impressed with their previous interactions with our colleagues, the two have asked for skilled Pathfinders to lead an expedition into Tianjing to follow the trail of evidence further. This is an excellent opportunity to strengthen our ties with both the Way of the Kirin and the archon. It also provides an opportunity to explore some of Tianjing and perhaps some of its ancient celestial-inspired architecture, arts, and philosophies. Zepha and Shiyo are in Kwanlai’s capital, Hisuikarasu, planning the expedition. Meet them there in the private room of the Gilded Lotus Teahouse.
With Regards,
Venture-Captain Amara Li

The scenario looks interesting. If we are going low-tier, I'll bring Kazu Chuko, my tengu UC rogue (you know him) who would be level 5 by then. If it is high-tier, I'll bring Lin Kai, my level 9 investigator.
I'll leave the signup open for a few days. Kuey ran a few games for me, so I will reserve a slot for them, other 5 slots will be filled with a lottery during the weekend. This is player-wise, so you can talk on the tier and composition after we have a list of contributing players up.
I would like to urge everyone who is interested in joining this table to put their details down via the form made for this purpose (link provided in the first post), as that is the one (and only) place where I will draw names from.
As long as you have a character in that level range available, go for it. I'll be picking players, not characters, so it doesn't matter whether you decide to play your level 5 or level 9 once the game starts. That is solely your decision to make, but if you wish to have your name in the lottery pool, please use the form.
Right. I just received an email from Hmm about getting the slots set up as soon as possible, and we have 12 people in the lottery, so let's get it over with. Rolling a d1000 for each of you, in the order of signups. Kuey and 5 highest rolls get in. Good luck!
Congratulations! I will be contacting each of you via PM with instructions.
As for the rest of the participants, thank you for participating, but the dice were not on your side. I would open another table, but I am afraid I applied this policy recently and I'm already running 2 games (not including this table) as it is.
In the event that I finish those games before Aug 13th (I assume as much, but can't be sure), I might open another table and contact the next 6 people to particiate. In the meantime, however, I can make no promises.
Thank you again, and good luck in your other lotteries and tables!
Ah, to hell with it. I should have both of my current tables closed by the end of July. I'll open another table for everyone else except I'm Hiding In Your Closet.
Sorry, dude/dudette, but you ended up with the short straw. If someone opts out, I will contact you first, and then look elsewhere. Thanks again!
Link to the next table coming soon (need to make a thread first). With that said, anyone wishes to shuffle around to be at a table with anyone specific, just let me know. Here or via PM.
Just a heads up, the links to this/these game(s) from the PFS PbP Gameday VII - Scenario Listings seem to be dead. They take you to the 'Have you inherited a game?' page.
On the bad links: Thread links probably changed when I added the 'Table A' and 'Table B' into the titles. I'll sort it out at some point. In the meantime...
Based on the sheet HERE, I've assigned you to lower and higher tier tables.
It seems like both parties are pretty balanced, with at least one floating variable in the equation (Aarvid) so - unless someone wishes to be at a table with a specific player, let it be known, and we'll arrange it again.
I'll give you all a day or so to discuss and decide, and then we'll distribute the players between tables and mark others as inactive.
I'll be contacting all players that passed the lottery via PM in an hour or so, just in case some of you are not watching the thread.
Hey I originally signed up for my witch, Deep Tofu 220424-13 for this, but I am wondering if you would allow me to swap in a different high tier character?

Level 8 Phantom Blade Spiritualist
Actually my first character looked like he was already on High Tier (7 Witch). The new character Id bring in is also High Tier (8 Spiritualist Phantom Blade)
Sorry wasn't monitoring this thread. Yeah, I'm fine to switch to high tier. Let me know? I'm fine either way. Either I get a tengu in a tengu scenario, or I get my Silver Crusade guy in Silver Crusade scenario.
So what's the rundown on the slow swapping, folks? You need to discuss this stuff. I can't be the negotiator in everything. Especially since it's pretty much wrapped up on my end for now. Skorn? If you want to go low tier, now is the time to speak up.
We have a month to start. I'll start making handout slides and links for the tables, and the usual 'getting ready' stuff in the threads, and I will need to have a set-in-stone list of players participating in the table involved.
I've created discussion threads for both tables a few minutes ago.
Table A is low tier, table B is high tier. Go on and put your info down, if your characters are not locked in a game. If they are, and you would level up, etc, we can wait. 3 more weeks to go, so we're all good for now.
