PFS Destiny of the Sands Trilogy (Inactive)

Game Master James Martin

I'm looking to run the Destiny of the Sands with the same party from start to finish. The first two scenarios are 1-5, but the last is 3-7, so you'll obviously need characters that will fit the tiers. And since this is Pathfinder Society, you'll need PFS legal characters.

What I'm looking for:
1. Players who can commit their characters for three scenarios.
2. Players who can post at least once a day. Twice or more is better. In order to get these done in a reasonable amount of time, more posts are better.
3. Players who can post Monday - Friday. Weekends are generally slow.
4. Players who are willing to role-play a bit. I don't need paragraphs of inner monologue, but I do need more than "I roll to hit."
5. 4-7 players with PFS legal, ready to go characters.

This trilogy looks like a lot of fun. The first two mods are out and the third will be by the time we get to it. Let's make it mythic! I will be using Roll20 for maps and props. It's a free service and you'll need an account there.

I will open recruiting through Thursday, March 13 at Noon Central Time (US). I will select and announce players then. If you cannot commit for the whole time, DO NOT APPLY.

Sound off Pathfinders!

Hi I'm interested but I must inform you that I'll be running this for my own group when it finally arrives in a face to face game.

I have also played part 1 but not part 2 and 3.

I can post multiple times per day except for weekend where I'm working.

I have a level 2 monk but will be level 3 in a couple of days.

Interested. Is a new level 1 character going to have difficulty staying breathing?

A new level one character will not work. You would still be level 1 when the third scenario comes out, which is a tier 3-7 scenario.

Thanks for the reply, James. Is it permissible to level up a new character for this purpose, or is that prohibited by PFS rules?

As I read the Guide, it looks prohibited, but I'd like to be sure before I pass up this opportunity.

The only way to level a character is through playing or GMing. Each scenario adds +1 xp and Modules add +3 xp. It takes 3 xp to go up a level. You can play a pregen character (ie one of the iconics) if you'd like, and apply the credit to a character of your own when you reach that level. The pregens come in 1,4 and 7th level varieties. If you'd like to do that, you're welcome to.

I have a 2nd level swashbuckler with 5 XP who would be able to play all three. He's signed up for another Game Day table, but I believe I can replace him with another character there.

Will any of the three parts be reports for the Game Day?

I'm thinking at least one might be. I'd like to get started before the April 5th kickoff date, though.

Level 2 gunslinger. Musket master.
Busy with a game currently. But if we finish in time, would like to sign her up

I'm Karos Valdian. Have gun, will travel.

Gunslinger1/Inquisitor1. Of Cayden Cailean.

Howdy!

I have an Osirion faction (former Shadow Lodge faction) level 5 PFS alchemist that's currently "on the shelf" waiting for these scenarios so he can "come off the shelf" and play all three in a row.

Not sure how this game shakes out with level 2's - it feels like the 1-2 subtiers for the first two scenarios. While I don't have an issue playing down, I also wouldn't want to trivialize a scenario for others, so would cede a spot for someone of the proper level as I'm really hoping to get this specific PC into the arc.

Cheers!

James, I have a level three inquisitor that just freed up. I'd love to play all the scenarios. Info is in his profile. He will have one additional XP as of tomorrow, but will still be at third level.

Just confirming availability/interest.

Okay, let's see what we have so far:

Nightdeath - level 3 Monk
Kurvast - level 2 Swashbuckler
Aldrea - level 2 Gunslinger
Karos - Level 2 gunslinger/inquisitor
Elithir - level 5 alchemist
Hagrym - Level 3 Inquistor

Looks like if we include Elithir, we're skewing toward 3. If we don't, we're solidly 2.

So, I will accept everyone who has posted thus far and I'll leave it up to you to determine whether you wish to play up or down for the first scenario.

I'm fine either way. Up or down.

I'm fine either way. I get OOS up or down I suppose.

The first scenario is not nearly as deadly as the second...

Ah, thanks for the consideration. I'll bow out of this one so the team can land solidly in the 1-2 subtier.

Cheers!

That makes it simple then. Lower it is!

If you have room I have a lvl 1 PFS Tank which might complement your crew...

There might be a chance i wont be able to join... current game might not finish in time

Ah, poop. Just missed the cutoff. :(

Oh wait, I see Aldrea ninja'd me. I have a fighter 1/bard 1 I can offer, James, if you need another. He's somewhat similar to Malavarius, honestly.

Mott, if you want to join, you're welcome to!

Aldrea, when is your game over?

Dang - wish I had seen this thread earlier.

Nightdeath - level 3 Monk
Kurvast - level 2 Swashbuckler
Aldrea - level 2 Gunslinger
Karos - Level 2 gunslinger/inquisitor
Hagrym - Level 3 Inquistor
Mott - Level 2 Bard/Fighter

Lekku, you're welcome to join if Aldrea cannot play.

Thanks, James. Now I don't have to kill Pems and Kereek! ;D

I asked, but GM has not yet replied. Maybe i will know by tomorrow. GMT+2 incase you are wondering

I feel complete now that I see I ceded Eli's spot to mott. A worthy exchange was made! :)

Thanks, Wakedown. Kind of you to say.

However, I did just realize I will be gone for a couple weeks in early May (probably completely away from Internet, which is rare for me). If that's a problem, James, I can bow out too.

That should be okay, Mott.

Everyone, go ahead and post in the Gameplay thread. Let's get this feast on the road!

Excellent. Just a heads up, I am planning on swapping out characters after Part I, if that's alright. I have an Osirion alchemist who I think would be more fun to play in an Osirion-focused adventure, but he's booked up at the moment.

He'll be coming in with 5 XP, however, so at least this means we won't have too many out-of-tier PCs for Part II.
