[PFS] Core First Steps In Service to Lore (Inactive)

Game Master Merisal The Risen

Welcome to my Play-by-Post!

This is a Pathfinder Society Core Scenario designed for 1st level characters.

In Service to Lore

In your first* mission as a Pathfinder agent, the head of the Grand Lodge sends you on a number of missions throughout the metropolis of Absalom, pitting you against traps,thieves, and even an unruly devil, all in the pursuit of knowledge.

Written by Adam Daigle.

*It can also be your second or third mission

Here's the ctrl+P for all my games: Shamelessly cribbing from Dungeon master S

1. I've been running games since the late 1980s, I've seen a lot of editions. I started playing PFS at about season 2. I'm solid with the PFRPG rules, but everyone makes mistakes. I'll try to be as fair as possible.
2. I'm a Venture-Agent for manchester England. If you're ever in the area, or you need help finding games/conventions in the UK. PM me.
3. I post with reasonable of frequency. That being said, if you guys can post 1/day That would be awesome if it gets slower sometimes I understand. No worries. Real Life Comes First (tm).
4. Feel free to preemptively roll Perception, Disable Device, etc. It makes the game run more efficiently. I ask only that you make sure minis are placed in their actual position in case your choices have consequences (good or bad.)
5. Let's get started:

Player Name:
PC Name:
PFS#:
Faction:
Day Job: Feel free to roll now.
Perception and vision/senses:
Initiative:
Notes: Anything I should know; passive abilities, boons that are way out there, etc. If you have abilities that are immediate actions that interrupt an enemy, I'll be as fair as possible, but you can help me out by telling me under what conditions you typically use it.

I'll check back here in a days time if I have more than six players a lottery will follow to determine who gets selected for this little errand run

8 Dolgarth

(we also have Sir Nin de Hawtey who is 2nd level. There is well made argument that all evergreen scenarios are available for levels 1-2 but only once playable at level 2 but for First Steps I prefer to keep it all level 1)

Without further ado
