I am going to be out of town starting later today, and won't be back until Oct 6. I will not have access to internet. I was hoping to get one last post up before I left, but that just didn't work out. Sorry. We will get things moving once I get back.
We have just over month until the end of Gameday. We are a little behind where I would like to be. The fault is mostly mine, but I am going to push to get back to a 1/day posting schedule. That should allow us to finish in time. Let's keep up the posting rate and finish this one strong.
I have to go out of town for a funeral. I will be back on Tuesday. I will get a post up then and get us moving.
Thanks for the kind words.
I'm afraid we're not going to finish this scenario before the end of the Gameday. That's mostly my fault, as I've not been pushing us forward as much as I should have. That doesn't mean we can't finish off the scenario, though. We just won't have a chance at the Gameday boons.
I'm am very close to the end on a couple of other games, so I will be able to rededicate myself to this one in the days ahead.
Allafaz asked for a recap. Basically, you need to 1) figure out what happened to Amenira, and 2) unravel the mystery of Mercy (i.e. why they weren't wiped off the map in a recent mana storm. You've just about got #1 wrapped up, but haven't really made much progress on #2.
So, let's keep the game going!
I've been instructed to report it, even though we didn't finish in time. I will go ahead a roll for boons. A 16 or 20 wins!
Oh well. I really do want to get us moving, so let me know if you need a recap, or what.
Yes, let's get moving again.
To recap:
The PFS asked you to travel to the town of Mercy in the middle of the Mana Wastes to figure out their secret. They were recently hit by a violent mana storm, but suffered surprisingly little damage. In addition, you were to locate the investigator Amenira, a wizard-priest of Nethys, who went missing not long ago.
On the way in to town, you encountered a gnoll who had been warped and mutated by the twisted magics of the Mana Wastes. After defeating it, you discovered a cave that contained an altar to the dark god Azathoth, along with several small wooden dolls.
Upon approaching the town of Mercy, you were stopped by the town sheriff, Sheriff Molume, who confiscated your large weapons, and explained the town rules to you. Specifically, the curfew between 1 hour before sunset to 1 hour after sunrise. He escorted you to the guest house, where he explained you will be supplied with food, and how to send messages to him via the message box on the front of the house.
As for exploring Mercy, you were able to search the house that Amenira used to inhabit. Inside you found a listing of her notes with several 'unwritten' rules of the town, along with several unfinished dolls. You also discovered an animated doll of a girl named Nira. She gave a cryptic speech about murder and the town. She now accompanies the group in its travels.
You spent the first night in the guest house, choosing to observe the curfew. It's the next morning, and you've started wandering the town. You are near a typical dwelling.
Possible avenues of investigation include talking with random villagers, visiting the artisan's square, or visiting the Temple of Robori, the god of the village.
Happy new year everyone! Let's get this rolling again.
Hi everyone. grimdog mentioned you are looking for a GM to help finish off this scenario. I did this one a few months ago, so I'll try pick it up and get started soon. I hope GM Alias is doing alright.
Yes, let's get moving again.

You visited the Artisan's Square and witnessed a debate between the Carpenters and the Blacksmiths. You were able to break up the argument, but you also noticed the villagers hiding their children.
Does that sum up your progress so far?
Mage Hand has about 5 pounds of force, so you wouldn't have enough strength to break the lock.
Sounds like you may want to grab a torch like Geirahöð did.
Has anyone heard from Espada Bastarda? Her last post looks like in mid-November. I'll bot her for now.
