A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for levels 7-11.
Thousands of years ago, a defeated order of Osirian sages sought refuge in the perilous Pillars of the Sun in central Osirian. Until recently they were presumed lost, but recent exploration has uncovered the fortress sanctum they left behind. When the PCs delve into one of its sealed halls, they find the sages’ millennia-old projects dormant but not dead.
Content in “Beacon Below” also contributes directly to the ongoing storylines of the Dark Archive and Scarab Sages factions.
Written by Matt Duval.
The falls of change are upon us and the lands prepare for a wintry slumber. It is now that the Pathfinders must search far across Golarion for artifacts and mysteries both forgotten and unfound during the months of Neth, Kuthona, and Abadius. Will you answer the call?
Join us November 1st, 2014 through February 1st, 2015 for Play-by-Post Game Day 3.
Initiative! Same ol', same ol'. Initiative will be done in blocks. I will roll everyone's initiative, and average the critters' initiative into a single roll. The first round, whoever beats the critters will act before they do. Then the critters will act. Then it's a back and forth between party and critters.
PFS #'s! Please have your PFS# posted in your profile when submitting. I know most do, but... I like to get chronicle sheets out as soon as possible after the scenario is finished, and having them pre-filled hastens that. Of course, things can go wrong during the scenario, and that means delays, but usually it really, really helps!
Character sheets! Again, please, for the love of all that is holy, have a copy of your character sheet in your profile, or a link to it...
Quick reference stats! Please... Help me... Please have your quick references in your Race, Classes/Level, and/or Gender section of your profile, or however you like to put it. It really helps me so I don't have to keep opening up new tabs just to find out what your fortitude save was.
So, if there's any questions or comments, please, I'd love to hear them. Thanks!
Recruitment will stay open until the GameDay starts. This is to compensate for folks who may or may not sign up and then drop out, or forget, or change characters, or whatever. I will try to maintain a list of the primaries and alternates up to the day we start, but promise nothing!
I'm kind of curious on this one because of the tier. I'm genuinely wondering if there's going to be enough interest in the PbP community in this tier range that isn't already tied up in private games. We'll see!

I have one character currently free at this time, though should have at least one more freed by the time this starts:
Lia Galanodel - Jungle Druid 4 / Hunter 3 (available)
Baldwyn Doucas - Polearm Master 8 (almost available)
Quinn Kouniashi - Dervish Dancer 10 (may be available)

Let's give this one a shot!
I'll be using Iacobus Higgenstrom, rockstar bard 8! (I can switch out to other stuff if someone else wants to play a bard, but I am trying to do all the season 6 7-11's with him. I'm also fine with playing up if it comes to it.)
I will, of course, take whatever you want to play, Sior, but wouldn't it be fitting to to have me be Baldwyn's (one of his?) first and last GM? And yay, Lammars! I kid! Maybe! You'll always be the one who made a young woman cry with joy with your traffic cone dancing.
And I would of course love to see Iacobus in action again!
So far we have:
1. Something from Sior 7, 8, or 10
2. Iacobus Bard 8

I have two characters free to play in this game. I certainly appreciate the work that goes into PbP, so thank you ahead of time.
If it's going to be Tier 10-11, I'll play Bishop a level 10 ranger (archer) and his boon companion Timber. His profile is out of date as he's played at the table since his last PbP, but I'll get him up and ready before game start.
If it's going to be tier 8-9 I'll play Ka'atib, human bard. His profile is not ready for PbP, but I'll make sure it is.
That would put us at a legal table with a pre-gen. More would always be welcome, though!
1. Something from Sior 7, 8, or 10
2. Iacobus Bard 8
3. Something from DM S depending on tier

You can always use a pregen and apply the chronicle to an existing character when they come in range. But you wouldn't be able to play the character that's getting the chronicle credit and the pre-gen at the same time, if that makes sense.
If you want Jimmy, who's only level 4, to eventually get credit for this scenario, you can play a pre-gen. Once Jimmy hits 7th level, he'd get credit for the scenario. However, while this table is being played, Jimmy would not be able to be played at any other tables. Hope that's clear.
I have a a lot of options. So Tier 7-8 then?
Two people with options to play in either tier, one with a maybe to play in the upper tier, and only one in the lower tier level range, it could actually still go either way. I don't know how strong Sior's maybe is, though, so 2/4 so far look like lower tier, with the other half being available for any tier. Then we have an dot for interest that would have to play a pre-gen, which would be a 7, so... looking like 7-8, yep. But it can change. Still 2 weeks to see.

I have a level 7 (maybe 8 by the time this goes live) summoner who would love to join the team. This is his Alias. I haven't used him in PBP before, so his profile isn't up to date, but if I'm in the game, ill polish it up before it starts.
I don't have a character in the 10-11 range, so I will withdraw to let someone else join in if the table looks to be going that way.
Great!
1. Something from Sior 7, 8, or 10
2. Iacobus - Bard 8
3. Something from DM S depending on tier
4. Cairo - Cleric 9
5. Whitwood - Summoner 7 (maybe 8)

Unless something changes in the next 16 days, it looks like the ones with specific characters in this range are looking at the 7-8 sub-tier. Nightdeath, if you wanted to grab a slot with a pregen, now'd be the time...
EDIT - Updated with Amazing Red's cleric
If we're playing 7-8 I'll probably bring Cairo, Cleric 9 since he's in the Scarab Sages.
Hmmm.. My bard is 8, I could totally bring him instead if we wanted even more bard action. Heh.

Apologies for my absence. Forgot that posting in recruitment threads didn't bring it up on the PbP list, hahaha.
Baldwyn is about 2/3 the way through his scenario. It's been slow going. Day Job rolls have already been done, though, so we'll see.
(Did you run the first scenario for Baldwyn? Mists of Mwangi, I believe that was. Or maybe we're thinking Silent Tide (his second played scenario)?)
I'm pretty sure it was Silent Tide I ran for Baldwyn. We'll just pretend it was his first, because, really, who even counts Mists. I mean, monkeys? Really?

Just checked. Yup, it indeed was Silent Tide what you ran for him. That was his second played session after 4 GM creds, Mists (run by Carlos, aka poundpuppy), and Temple of Empyreal Enlightenment, though that one was back when he was a Tien monk before Lantern Lodge died. I fully rebuilt before level 2 because I did not like the feel of the monk.
Looks like I'll go with Ka'atib the bard, though I can play a cleric. Either way they're both level 8. I'm good with either so I'd pick based on party need.
I'll post with Ka'atib to mark the game.
1. Something from Sior 7, 8, or 10
2. Iacobus - Bard 8
3. DM S - Bard or Cleric 8
4. Cairo - Cleric 9
5. Whitwood - Summoner 7 (maybe 8)

Less than two weeks away!
I think that 2 clerics is more useful than two bards, so I'll let Iacobus take the bard.

If there is room please count me in. I have a number of characters in both 7-8 range and 10-11. I think I would like to play my druid but will wait to see what all is at the table.
Here is my character list
Ninja 7 /Bard 1 (total 8)
Inquisitor 8
Druid 8
Rogue 10
Cleric 10
Fighter 5/Living Monolith 5 (total 10)
Great, and only 10 days to go!
1. Something from Sior 7, 8, or 10
2. Iacobus - Bard 8
3. Sareth - Cleric 8
4. Cairo - Cleric 9
5. Whitwood - Summoner 7 (maybe 8)
6. Something from Skorn 8 or 10
Alt 1.
Alt 2.
Sorry guys I'm gonna have to drop out of this one. You guys will find someone in 10 days.
Oh, I was just kidding. I just recall Baldwyn since it was a unique idea at the time (he was a trendsetter!), and I'm surprised to see him still kicking around. Play what you want!
1. Something from Sior 7, 8, or 10
2. Iacobus - Bard 8
3. Sareth - Cleric 8

Got the idea from a gent who's no longer a part of the Collective because A.P. kept killing his characters, hahaha.
Though... Baldwyn's having a bit of trouble with the scenario he's in. Big social scene, no party face, in Qadira while he's pretty Taldan... Not a good mix. So yeah... he just got arrested =P
Looking good!
1. Something from Sior 7, 8, or 10
2. Iacobus - Bard 8

GM can you open the discussion and gameplay threads for dotting?
Done!
