[PFS] GM Lithrac's Thornkeep, part II - The Forgotten Laboratory (Inactive)

Game Master Cyril Corbaz


Grand Lodge

Greetings fellow members of the Pathfinder Society!

I'm opening the recruitment for the module "Thornkeep - The Forgotten Laboratory", held as a PFS event for six characters. This PbP adventure will be open to all those who have a PFS-legal character in that level range (2-4). However, for players unfamiliar with PFS or posting here, I'll point out a few guidelines:

  • You need a legal Pathfinder Society character.
  • Apply & post with your legal character. Please include the PFS number for your submitted character in his application post.
  • Make sure you are familiar with the rules included in the Guide to Pathfinder Society Organized Play. It's a free download and it isn't long to read.
  • Post at least once a day. I like my games to move at a quick pace, so please make an effort to read & post regularly. If you are up in the initiative order and don't post for a while, I'll reserve the right to have you delay until you post. If you know you won't be available in advance, please say so in the discussion thread. In this case, I will probably have your PC take a back seat until you come back.
  • Make sure you have all the legal sources (either electronically or paper version) for the character building options you're using for your character. I work on a trust basis, so I won't ask for your previous Chronicle sheets or sources, but will ask you if in doubt. I may also ask you to justify your calculations (attack bonus for example).
  • Battlemaps will be posted through googledocs, and everyone will be able to move themselves.
  • This scenario is mostly a "dungeon" crawl, but it doesn't mean roleplay should be ignored. On the contrary, I expect you to play your character in an interesting and lively manner!
  • Recruitment is open now and will stop on 26th December 7am European time. There are already four slots taken by the worthy adventurers who succeeded in defeating the many dangers of Thornkeep's first level, they are looking mainly for a frontliner and an arcane caster. Since it's their team, they will have a say in who gets chosen in the end.

    If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me or ask them here. If you're unfamiliar with PFS and would like more details, please make sure to visit the Pathfinder Society homepage for more informarion, or to ask me.

    Explore!
    Report!
    Cooperate!

    Checking in, the first instalment was fast paced and great fun - started at the same time as several scenarios and finished before all but one - really looking forward to getting stuck in again. A fellow frontliner to take some of the punishment with me would be wonderful. My personal preference would be for other level 2 characters.

    I've been through the initial portion of Thornkeep, and I'd love to participate in the next piece.

    Please note - Kort will be level 3 for this (Sorcerer 2/Rogue 1) - I have some updates to finish, but will have a clean submission 12/24 (packing tmw, travel Mon, update for level 3 tuesday). I've been noting some issues with Hero Labs treatment of Crossblooded sorcerers, so.. I'm auditing in depth.

    Update: current statblock is up-to-date for level 3.

    Background
    --------------------
    Kort lived much of his life under the care of Infernal nuns in a backwater Chelaxian vassal state. Few circumstances or situations are more oppressive and soul crushing. Kort was never designed to succeed in such a situation - he is natuarlly exuberant and volatile.
    Kort would have come to a poor end, except for a nearby gnomish village. sheltered in a nearby forest. Kort was truly raised by these gnomes. The gnomes had survived largely by staying entirely separate from Chellish business. They recognized in Kort a very special lad, with a fascinating 'taste' of magic wafting off him in gouts and waves.

    These gnomes trained Kort as well as they could, but recognized that his talents were very different from theirs - darker, shadowier, and more primally draconic than their verdant First World magics. They sent him to relatives in the city to employ while seeking more appropriate outlets for his talents. So Kort came to support gnomish merchants in the city, and shortly thereafter he came in contact with the local Pathfinder Venture Captain, who was happy to recruit him, vet him, and dispatch him to Absolom for induction.

    Wilhelm Scream, Rogue 2 / Fighter 1 (frontliner/rogue types)
    Kort Drakovich, Rogue (Swashbuckler) 1/Sorcerer (Crossblooded) 2 (rogue type)
    Chasik "Bash", Fighter (Unbreakable) 2 (frontliner type)
    Baru Stills, Swashbuckler 2 (frontliner type)

    Hi - Level 3 Paladin who completed level 1 of Thornkeep and just finished River Rescue.

    Silver Crusade

    Dang, looks like some preferable front-liners showed up. Though, I was planning on purchasing a buckler to bring my AC up to 21, which is decent for this tier, I would think.

    Recruitment is now closed, voting will be done within 24 hours, stay tuned!

    ...(rogue type) with an insouciant tang of arcane caster. But a palpable disdain for the bookish types lacking in.. flair.
