Weeks have passed since Venture-Captain Nieford Sharrowsmith departed for the Bandu Hills, and having not heard from him since but learned of an Aspis Consortium expedition bound for the same destination, the Society and local allies have grown worried for the aging explorer’s safety. As the PCs travel south on Sharrowsmith’s trail, they must track the venture-captain to the ruins he sought while also dealing with the aftermath of his actions.
“On Sharrowsmith’s Trail” is the first scenario in the three-part Scions of the Sky Key campaign arc. It is followed by Pathfinder Society Scenario #6–14: Scions of the Sky Key, Part 2: “Kaava Quarry” and Pathfinder Society Scenario #6–16: Scions of the Sky Key, Part 3: “The Golden Guardian.” All three chapters are intended to be played in order.
Content in “On Sharrowsmith’s Trail” also contributes directly to the ongoing storylines of the Exchange faction.

Must say, I'm really stoked if you plan on doing this entire story-arc Engleaktig!! I'm working on Cornelia's rebuild/level-up and almost done... mostly just need to determine what to do with newly found GP and PP!
Since we are going to be together for a while, I hope! I'll let you guys know my plans for Cornelia. I'm going to try and boost her UMD skill quite a bit so I can assist with back-up casting as an investigator. I see her as sporting lots of versatile wands to help cover a range of spells. She will definitely be more of a support character in combat... I plan on picking up an agile cane sword eventually, but until that point her damage output will not be very good. At least until I hit 3rd and can get Studied Combat/Strike.

Sorry, for the double post... Stupid question here reference rebuilding. Do I need to list anywhere the items that I'm selling back and the new items that I'm purchasing anywhere? (i.e. do I have to list everything I'm selling from old Cornelia's gear and then list everything I'm buying for new Cornelia's gear on my ITS or on a Chronicle log?)

1) Yes, please track on your ITS. You don't have to track every little thing; minor purchases can be lumped together. (e.g.: you don't have to list items less than 25 GP individually.)
2) Sure. If there's interest, I'll do the series for you.
3) In the gameplay thread you mentioned recruiting. We have 4 now. I'd be willing to have one more player; 5 is a good cap for me, I think. Thanks!

Apologies for the double post, I'm still getting the hang of the play-by-post format and accidentally dropped my first response under Gameplay!
I would be very interested in joining, though it would be my first Pathfinder play-by-post. For a character, if it works, I'd be happy to use a level 1 -- or any level 2 pre-gen if that's acceptable.

Hello, this is again! If a level 1 character would be okay, I have this one: a mysterious stranger gunslinger that I have used for one in-person PFS session.
I have added the stats, hopefully correctly to the level line, but have the rest of the character information in the description. If it doesn't fit the scenario or group blance, let me know.
A little about the character...
Hotspur hopes to one-day be a great revolutionary. She has pledged soul and spirit to the cause of Liberty's Edge, and is a little excitable in this regard. She is something of a conspiracy-theorist but is ultimately good at heart.

I'm ready as well. Quick question though. Do these scenarios have a lot to do with Numeria and tech? I have a character I built for Season 6 Numeria scenarios so I might want to bring him instead.

and no, not all my character names come from 80's fantasy movies.

I don't know about parts 2 and 3. Part 1 seems to be focused on Nieford Sharrowsmith and his dedicated study of the Mwangi Expanse.
To promote flexibility, I'll allow you all to swap out characters until you have your first combat encounter. That way you can make an informed decision about which of your characters, thematically, are the best fit.
Sound OK?

I'm glad everyone is enjoying Hotspur so far. Though I intend to round her out skillwise at level 2, right now she is pretty combat focused. She does not yet have diplomacy, any of the knowledge skills or sense motive.
So, Hotspur shouldn't do our introductions when we get into a tight spot -- though she has oratory so she can harangue listeners with prepared speeches on revolution and freedom.
I'm still getting used to the PbP system, so if you see any major gaffes from me, please let me know!
I did have one question about roll checks -- I see the "dice" code, but I wanted to make sure that if I fill that out with all the information, it will just come up with a sum automatically within the post itself, right? Or is there another step?

Okay, so here's what I'm thinking... We give Ethendril one of the ropes we have and then tie the other around his waist, since he's easily the strongest. We use a nearby tree to help anchor and send him across the bridge. The rest of us use the anchor tree as leverage to assist with supporting Ethendril's weight if he falls... The distance across is only 30' so we should have a little extra rope to play with.
With the rope we give Ethendril, he will leave one end of it with us on one side of the ravine. We can then use the ropes to secure ourselves as we cross the bridge. Or if Ethendril makes it safely across, we can simply just cross over one at a time if we feel safe doing so.
Thoughts?

Hey guys, I will be leaving for vacation on 3/11 through 3/18. I am not sure on how often I will be able to post yet, so if need be feel free to GMPC my character while I am gone if I do not respond in a timely manner! I apologize for not mentioning it sooner, but the date snuck up on me rather quickly.

Sorry folks! My job had never allowed me to post on Paizo (had it blocked for "shopping" category) but I had previously been able to post on my iPad using the WiFi. They cut that off now. I can't use the WiFi anymore.
I am changing jobs, so my last day at this one is 4/14, but then I will be away at Star Wars Celebration from 4/15 to 4/21, so my posting until then will be spotty, but I will *try* really hard to keep up.

It was the most awesome Con I've ever attended.
Granted, I haven't been to that many, but the panels were awesome, and the variations and crossover cosplay was fantastic.
I got to sit at the Holochess table on the Millennium Falcon set, and stand inside the Bacta Tank in the med-bay set. I learned lots of cool ways to do Leia hair and Padme hair. We learned a quick and easy way to suit up into a Mando kit, and I got two books signed by awesome authors. James Luceno signed his new book Tarkin (I had to buy that one) and Drew Karpyshyn signed one of my favorites, Revan (which were being given away).
