[PFS_CORE_Aerondor] 06-04 Beacon Below (Inactive)

Game Master Aerondor

Irizati will wander around searching the area.
perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28 + scent

Interestingly enough, you don't notice any more items vanishing from the shelves.

After a while Saruna suggests that if everyone is quite calm now, you return to the upper areas of the complex.

The diamond sage is absent when you return, with quite the collection of followers! Several hours later she returns, looking to you for an explanation...

Numair patiently explains what the party encountered downstairs, including, through gritted teeth, Saruna's story, bringing the Diamond Sage up to date on events.

Lem will add to the tale, showing his notes and explaining each item they found and catalogued. If he is not sure what something is he will ask the sage about it.

During those several hours we may as well do what we were asked to and catalog. I think we have cleared the place of threats.

Tahonikepsu listens with care. "While I would prefer not to go below... I think I may be able to repair the Beacon and use it to locate other Sage Jewels."

She gives you all a nod of satisfaction. "Well done all of you, especially with your inventive manner to create a pseudo-sage jewel!"

The actions of the Amethyst Sage obviously trouble her greatly, and she muses aloud whether other sages might have also survived the Qadiran attacks and either passed their knowledge on to proteges or secured exceptional longevity. Either way, she notes the your efforts may have drawn the attention of the current bearer of the amethyst, and that sage might contact her and return to the order.

Saruna waits patiently before demanding. "You must lift my Geas and allow me my freedom!" Tahonikepsu sighs "I would have you tell me about the past, which you have seen first hand. But I agree the geas is unjust and you are free of it."

Saruna sighs as the magical compulsion leaves her after millennia. "I will have my revenge!" she says, heading off into the desert in search of the sage. She offers a final nod of thanks to the pathfinders "I may yet take you up on your offer."

As for the inevitables,Tahonikepsu greets them as unexpected foreign dignitaries trespassing in her home. She politely agrees to collaborate in finding the Amethyst Sage, but insists on revisiting the sage’s alleged crimes in light of more recent events. They acknowledge her request, but make no promises

On the way back, Venture-Captain Norden Balentiir is pleased to hear of your success, but disappointed about the lack of maps of the area.

Feel free to throw out any final questions.

Jair says goodbye to Saruna thanking her for her help before her departure.

She smiles at her friends, and Doubtful in particuliar and says Better than the Gloomspires, isn't it?

To the Venture Captain she says We have mapped the area, in the song Lem have written along the way! she smiles and adds a clever hafling is always a good choice to have with

Especially one with a wand of dispel magic. Even though the caster level was not as high as I would have like I think my racial luck played a roll and it was quite useful. Lem says with a smile bowing to all. It has been a pleasure to adventure with you all.

Got mine! Thanks!

Awesome.

I've created the threads for Salvation of the Sages, but won't start that until May. If you feel like dotting in (or if you don't expect to play this character before hand, put in all the information).

Salvation of the Sages

You can do this to both gameplay and discussion, that will save losing the threads when the time comes to start up.

I'll mark this as inactive when I see the players or characters turning up over there.

Not doing Salvation of the Sages for my part.
Thanks.

Not sure if I'm doing the next part either.

But thanks for this bit. =)

When I first signed up I had hoped to play Salvation of the Sages in classic mode with my only Sages character. I would gladly jump in with a 7 or 8th level alchemist if a classic table was offered.

It seems about half my recent chronicles for my core druid have been with iconics and that was not my intent. Its going to make leveling from 4 to 7 very quick I fear.

@Lem/SKorm - so not interested in Core Salvation?

There is no hurry, I just want to make sure I save spots for those who wanted it as it was initially intended as a focused pair for scarab sages characters.

No. Thanks for the invite but I am not ready to play Lem again at this level in a 7-11. IF you need me that is another story - let me know and I'll come play. But I'd prefer to play my actual core druid whenever she is the right level to play it.

I would like to play it classic as I said. Early on, when I first signed up I thought there would be a table of each.

Early on I was thinking of doing a table of this and 9-7 in classic, but there was no real interest and my number of games on the boil was right on (or possibly over) the "still fun to GM" line, so I dropped them.

Marking this one as inactive now. Thanks for playing everyone.

Thanks again :)

And I'm still interested in a CORE Salvation ;-)

And Lem, or some other iconic, will be there IF you need me.

I would strongly recommend not ever taking a pregen into Salvation.

Though it might be less of a burden in the lower tier.

Lem is a very good pregen for low-tier with Kyra.

I've done that scenario (in regular) and it is definitely Hard Mode by default.
Unsure how it changes into the lower tier, but the higher tier was brutal.

It is a good one to play with a real character, for history reasons if no other. I'll announce it toward the end of outpost as folk will be a bit free-er then.

In the meantime if you want a spot saved, jump over to the thread (linked above) and dot in. I think this thread can go inactive now.
