Flaxseed Lodge (PFS1)

Game Master Redelia

Thank you GM Lithrac for the link to this discussion! ;)

"There are also two other missions in need of attention..." The newcomer says as he tacks up a bulletin.

I'm also going to run #2-01 Before the Dawn and #2-23 Shadow's Last Stand for the PbP Gameday, with the intention of running the sceond parts to each at the conclusion of the first parts.

Sigup sheet is here

I will sure pay attention to the mission left in need of attention!

Karu the Bold Strider strides boldly into the mess hall of the Flaxseed Lodge before tacking up three new mission flyers to the board. Got three missions that need filled! Two of them will be great practice for you new recruits! Last one needs to be filled by some of our more experienced Pathfinders and it will be for the long haul. You will likely be gone for three months.

00-04 Frozen Fingers of Midnight (Tier 1-5) is posted. Current enrollment shows that it will likely be Subtier 4-5

00-17 Perils of the Pirate Pact (Tier 1-7) is posted. We will start when four players are signed up and can take up to six Pathfinders.

00-22 Fingerprints of the Fiend (7-11) is still looking for recruits. Can all currently enrolled Pathfinders please post how close they are to finishing their current missions?

Antonella trails behind the Bold Strider® and watches him nail the flyers to the wall … with his fist!

Her expression is wistful. I wonder if I’ll ever be able to do that.

“Sensei, I regret that my training prevents me from accepting a new mission at this time. But I am sure there will be Pathfinders available to serve the Society once again.”

Ezrek looks around. "Still need a couple recruits to head out to Garund...

Still need at least two for Before the Dawn!

00-17 Perils of the Pirate Pact (Tier 1-7) is posted. We will start when four players are signed up and can take up to six Pathfinders.

I would be glad to join this one, if it's running low tier. I didn't find the link to the board, though.

It is at the top of the thread.

DM, for FFOM, Tessara is currently booked. I do have a level five alchemist that is currently free and would be interested and ready to go as soon as a table is mustered.

Apologies to a great many folks for posting this the night before Gameday 3 is scheduled to begin. Work has literally buried me. All of my Gameday 3 games are scheduled to begin November 5th, rather than November 1st as previously posted.

For the Devil We Know Series, the current players are:
Evan Whitefield
Magabeus
Tyranius
Alex MAck
XenoCide78
Earl Wheaton

Please bring your level 1 or 2 characters that will be available by 5 Nov and check in here.

There are several other folks on the waitlist; if I have a gap I will let you know ASAP.

For the City of Strangers Series, the current players are:
Gilthanis
Scizzoot
Tyranius
Deane Beman
Rick Connelly
Earl Wheaton

Please bring your level 3 or 4 characters and check in here. [ooc]Jolly Roger, your magus is on deck should a slot open up or a player drop.

Lastly, the next four days are impossible for me and I will be almost completely out of contact, but an email sent here should reach me faster than anything else. I'll be back in contact 5 November.

I'm looking forward to some fast-paced Gameday fun!

Trex, I have no available 3-4 PCs, but a slew of 1-2. So if this is strictly a 3-4 tier then I will have to pass as much as it pains me, unless you think a level 1 could hang with the 3-4 crowd. Your thoughts?

A rumor makes its way around the Lodge that the Society needs a couple more Pathfinders to represent them at an event in Qadira.

Looks like I have two open spots in my Gameday 3 scenario for The Merchant's Wake. We are playing in the low tier (level 1-2). They could use a healer of some kind. Anyone interested go ahead and check in over HERE.

A small red kobald drifts in from the cold, and make his way to the littered wall. He licks the back of a large parchment a few times, reaches up and slaps it to the bottom edge of the posting board, then scurries out the door.

The Occult Confirmation #05-8, recruitment

We're about to start playing "The Witch Queen's Revenge" (the last installment of "Reign of Winter") as a PFS event. We'll only play the sanctioned part, so you'll need to have a level 15-17 PFS-legal character to join. I know there aren't many characters at that level in PFS, but it's worth a try.

The current group has four people (one wizard, one fighter, one bard-barian, one bard), and they've been playing together before. They are looking for one or two more players to join them for this epic adventure! A healer would be preferred, if possible.

I will be GMing this event. As such, I ask my players to post at least once a day, especially during fights. It's a long module with a lot of fighting, so a good pace will be required.

If you want to have a chance at freeing Baba Yaga from her imprisonment, join us!

Please PM me for more details.

Gil, do you have a level 2 that's about to graduate to level 3?

Best I got is a 4 xp rogue

I'll take it. Go ahead and check in ASAP!

Gob, Old Mu and Old Shu seems to bounce into the lodge in their eternal youth, while Brewslee, Malachite and Bevek seem the worse for the wear from their most recent mission. The ever bold Karu stands awaiting their arrival with a recently-sealed letter from the Decimvirate.

Glad to have you back, but you are off to Oppara once more... after you meet with VC Dreng again. He wants to see you within the hour. Apparently those cultists aren't done out there and he thinks you will need a seventh to complete your mission. Karu looks over the letter. ... Baern Bellidorn? Go find him. He should be here and take him with you to Dreng's personal quarters here in Cassomir.

01-49 Among the Dead is starting and GM Sior is invited to be the seventh to round out the party. Please report to this link.

Karu interrupts the youthful chatter of the rest of the Pathfinders in the dining hall after seeing the down-trodden faces of Bevek, Malachite and Brewslee after they realized the potential for more zombies. Listen up! I got a lot of bold, new recruits ready to stride into their first or second missions! That is how we live here at the Flaxseed Lodge!

Karu gives a big thumbs up before continuing. Five of you have been approved for the mission to the River Kingdoms. See the mission briefing sheet on the status board for the details. As always, there is still room for a sixth. See me if you have nothing better to do!

00-17 Perils of the Pirate Pact will be starting once we ensure that there are enough players ready to go. Current Recruits: Zinou-Papy Shayn; Mari Clock-Lucrezia; Bill Roscoe-Garon Neth; Shadowkhan-Taicho Munetoshi; Tyranius-Amon Ione. Please PM me if you are still able to play.

Karu clears his throat boldly before continuing. Finally, we have a mission to the bowels of Abasalom: Skelg the Ripper's villa. Only four of you have signed up and the Decimvirate is needing this to happen now, thus we will begin to muster immediately. Those of you on the briefing sheet, report to the entrance of the Lodge at 8am sharp, otherwise I send Tuna to wake you with a bucket of water.

00-04 Frozen Fingers of Midnight will be starting once we ensure that there are enough players ready to go. Current Recruits: Shalm-R. Pierre-Antoine/Kostin Stills; DM Dr Evil-Graz Razortooth; Shadowkhan-Miaka Oinari; GM Aarvid-Roland. Please PM me if you are still able to play. Still accepting two more Pathfinders for this mission.

What levels are Pearls of the Pirate Act and Frozen Fingers of Midnight? I have a Fighter/5 and a Rogue/6 available.

"Zhis is Roland reporting for zhe duty on the Skelg zhe Ripper's mission, sir!"

Perils of the Pirate Pact is Tier 1-7.

Frozen Fingers of Midnight is Tier 1-5.

Please consider me as the sixth for the River Kingdom's expedition. If not, I would be pleased to tag along to the mission here in Absalom.

"I I I would like to join in on the expedition to the villa of Skelg the ripp... ripper" the twitchy human in slaves clothing says.

Antonella sits cross-legged atop a flat chunk of basalt with her eyes closed. She holds a bamboo fishing pole, with the line bobbing gently in a bucket of water that is set before her.

At Karu's mention of the name "Tuna," she opens her eyes briefly and makes a face behind her sensei's back, before returning to her silent contemplation.

"Ready for action!" cries the half-orc brawler. "I have been on the bench way to long. I don't care if it's the frozen hell of Irrisen itself, I'm going!", says Graz.

He grasps his spiked chain, giving it a whirl around his head. "Ready when you are, boss."

A stern looking man in fine clothes enters the lodge. Almost 7ft tall he look over the assembled pathfinders. We are looking for experienced Pathfinders to report to the lodge in Magnimar.

King of the Storval Stairs 7-11

A young boy, clearly of Jalmerayan heritage, enters the Lodge and calls everyone's attention. "Ladies and gentlemen it gives me extreme pleasure to have the courtesy of introducing a hero for heroes. For it is in this man that I can say we can go to sleep at night safe from the tyranny of evil. His honorary titles are many and brought forward in great favor though he ask not of fancy titles but only for no more than his own name, Henery son of Scranton esteemed and beloved Lord of the Flaxseed clan of Cassomir of prestigious Taldor. It is with want that I continue as my master is humble and care naught for frivolous titles; First Watcher of the Wise Guard of Absalom, honored guest of House Eiredor, honorary Steel Falcon of the righteous Eagle Knights of Andoran, tamer of beasts, and father of the Cassomir's own illustrious and prolific Venture-Captain. May you have the glory and luck to be in his presence." The boy takes a bow and sidles off to the side.

"What? What? Ho!" An armor-clad halfling waddles into the Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge, an armored pygmy brachiosaurus following behind him. "Yes, yes, you're getting far too long-winded, Waman my boy!" the halfling notes to his herald.

He stands tall and addresses the assembled Pathfinders, "Now Trotter is off on some secret assignment from the Ten, so I'm stepping in to let you know about a few missions that need agents! So listen closely!"

---

"Rumors of a lost shrine in the Segang Jungle draw the Pathfinder Society’s attention, but the prohibitive cost of sending a team into the wilds of Jalmeray threatens to shut down the expedition before it even begins. Fortunately, a wealthy patron has offered to fund our travel expenses in return for our help in his decades-old quest. I need Pathfinders who can balance this new obligation with the exploration of the archaeological site!"

06-08 "The Segang Expedition" (1-5) has been added to GM Endless Forms' signup sheet (linked above). This scenario is released on the 26th; the lottery (if necessary) will happen the day before and the scenario will start as soon as I can download it on the 26th.

"For centuries the city of Bloodcove has controlled access to the invaluable Vanji River, and for nearly as long, the Aspis Consortium has controlled Bloodcove. If the Pathfinder Society is to move the equipment and personnel it needs into the Mwangi Expanse, it needs a reliable means of smuggling resources through this unforgiving settlement operated by its enemies. It’s up to you to establish a backdoor through Bloodcove—all without being caught by Aspis agents."

06-09 "By Way of Bloodcove" (3-7) has been added to GM Endless Forms' signup sheet (linked above). This scenario is released on the 26th; the lottery (if necessary) will happen the day before and the scenario will start as soon as I can download it on the 26th.

A tall, golden haired young man stops in the doorway during the Halfling's speech.
Quietly taking in the information, he slaps off some of the road dust covering him; nodding while listening, and turning around again to get back to work.

A courier drifts in from the cold, checks the mud from his boots and make his way to the posting board. He tacks a Society roster calling for specific new recruits to report for duty, then quickly leaves.

#5–08: The Confirmation (PFRPG) - for the unplayed

"What? What? It looks like only a few agents are willing to head down to Bloodcove, what? Don't we have anyone else willing to help them out?"

Only three signed up for scenario 06-09! Some of you level 3s signed up for 06-08 could sign up for both. If you happen to get into both you could either create a new level 1 for the 1-5 scenario or drop out of that one and let someone take your place.

I can't edit doc from my phone. Pls sign me up for both, then, if you don't mind.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Allow me to be for checking my availabilization and I will endeavor to see whether I can join this excursion back home. Er, I should say, to the Mwangi Expanse.

"Bloodcove, eh? I can be . . . discrete, if we're dealing with the Aspis."

I need to update my stats on this alias, but I should be good to go otherwise!

Signed on seeing as you were short of players. If you end up over on the request, you can drop Fasily rather than lottery-ing someone else out, but if you have 6 I'll run with you!

I double signed-up just now, in case you wouldn't get enough players for the 3-7 one. If I make into one game, no need to hog a place for the other one (unless there's space left off course)

When I run lotteries, you can sign up for both games. I generally roll lottery for the higher-tiered game first. If you sign up with the same character and make it into the higher-tiered game I will leave you out of the lottery for the lower game. If you sign up with different characters (or TBD) you can stay in the lottery for both games.

Honestly, if I get into the higher tier, you can take me out of the lower; no need to hog up game spaces.

"All right! It looks like we have agents ready to go! Good luck out there!"

The winners for 06-09 By Way of Bloodcove are:

A mouse scurries across the floor to a strange-looking alchemist tinkering with some colorful liquids in the corner, giggling to herself. Scampering up her well-soiled robes to her scaly shoulder, the rodent titters quietly for a moment before the red-skinned woman removes a scroll of surprising length from the animal's back. Putting the creature gently on the floor, whereupon it darts into a crevice in the Lodge's sturdy wall, she stands to address those assembled and idling throughout the room.

"GREETINGS, FELLOW PATHFINDERS!" booms Boom, barely suppressing a giggle. "That Decemvirate bunch, funny friends hee hee!, has some EXCITING ADVENTURES for us! Let's see..." Her eyes brush over the ink. "Um. Well. Yes. This one is somewhat sad. There is to be a wake for an esteemed Trade Princess in Qadira, and the Society wishes to send agents to pay respects."

05-21 The Merchant's Wake (Tier 1-5)

"OOH! But this one is fun, hee hee! SEWERS!" Boom's voice grows truly cacophonous in her excitement. "Someone has been attacking Pathfinders traveling through the sewers beneath Absalom, and Skyreach needs us to investigate and put a stop to the trouble! Who knows what we'll find down there, hee hee!"

03-02 Sewer Dragons of Absalom (Tier 3-7)

"Oh oh, and this one! Some Riftwardens have gone missing! Riftwardens! In Rahadoum! Search and rescue, what fun! Hee hee hee!" The alchemist collapses in a pile of gigglery by her lab kit.

05-09 Port Godless (Tier 5-9)

All sign ups can be made here: ==GMTrex's Sign Up Sheet==

I'm not entirely sure when these will run, so please be sure to note availability. Likely to start in a month or two, depending on how quickly things fill up and how quickly my current games end.

Been waiting for Sewer Dragons for a while. Glad to see it up for grabs!

A female Halfling riding a large wolf, climbs down from the beast.
Both are breathing hard and look as if they have crossed long distances to arrive at the lodge.

She enters the main hall and looks quickly around for other available Pathfinders. She calls out in a commanding yet melodious voice:

"I bring word of an assignment from Venture-Captain Adril Hestram in Absalom. He seeks a couple seasoned Pathfinder agents to accompany a group heading to see Istivil Bosk, the Venture-Captain of Daggermark in the River Kingdoms. Any interested should report immediately. The mission will start once the first 2-3 qualified agents have arrived. I would go, but I am retired, and only agreed to travel here as a favor to Hestram."

This is for GD3-Perils of the Pirate Pact. There is a Rogue-4 and Oracle-5 already, potentially a fighter-4 as well. Will determine tier once the table fills.

A courier arrives with writs of travel to Skyreach. She presents one each to:

Azdak Ejderha (Harpwizard)
Rikas Horgold (Sior)
Tarri Millfurrough (Earl Wheaton)
Li Shuo (Tarondor)
Rhydderch Dawnbringer (Deane Beman)
Velidur Gamestalker (qwerty1971)

Did I say a month or two? I meant less than a week. Sewer Dragons of Absalom is starting! A couple of my games ended quicker than expected and everyone is listed as available, so let's go! If we can do it quickly enough, we'll even finish before Gameday ends. Campaign thread is HERE. Please check in when you're ready!

Merchant's Wake is likely to begin in about a week or so; there's still one spot available there on the sign up and quite a few in Port Godless (which is actually likely to start in a month or two).

"Thank you for the quick response. We have enough agents. I will let Hestram know . "

Dora turns to leave, calling her wolf and riding off the direction she came.

A gnome bursts into the Lodge, completely winded, and bearing another writ of travel -- this time bound for Katheer. He peers around the lodge, as though uncertain as to who to hand it to...

I have a opening for 1 seat only in 6-07 Valley of Veiled Flame, lower tier. Seeking a level 5 or level 6 character to start immediately. Please PM me ASAP if interested.

Li Shuo is a muscular and quiet Tien man who carries a large bow. Seeing so many famous Pathfinders assembled in one place has made the usually reticent archer even more quiet. He is here to observe and learn and so listens and stays quiet for now.

An athletically-lanky Varisian steps through the door, road dust settling slowly to the floor as he lets his gray half-elven eyes adjust to the lodge's light. After a quick study of the place and its occupants, he spies the mission-board and saunters over.

"Anything new for a recruit?" he says to no one in particular. "Hate to let my feet settle too much."

Just wrapped one Gameday PbP ... available for another if any DM's are looking to run. :)

"A Beer and a Tale maybe?" suggests a well spoken dwarf.

"I'm sure it was humming in here before. Like a beehive it was, and now has gone quiet as the grave. "

He pauses.

"Maybe someone is allergic to bee strings?"

Rhuul (dwarven bard/3)is also availble for lowish level missions

The half-elf eyes the strange dwarf sideways before sitting down.

"I guess," he mutters, not knowing what else to say ... then lounges back to wait and watch the mission boards.

A rough-looking middle-aged man enters, followed by a rather large wolf decked out in leather barding. He finds what looks to be the most comfortable open chair in the place and plops down, stretching his legs out.

"Over here, boy," the man whistles, and the wolf lays down in front of the man's chair. The man puts his feet up on the wolf's back and lets out a sigh of relief.

"Yeah, nice place to rest after that Ruby Phoenix Tournament, eh Sahrek?" the man's emphasis on the tournament's name is meant to invite awe or at least an inquiry.

"Yeah, we trounced them monks good, didn't we?"

"Name's Desmond," he announces to nobody in particular. He keeps an eye on the mission announcements, hoping to find something worthy of his time.

Looking for 7-11 tier scenario or an appropriate module.

Jal gives the newly arrived man a half-grin over the scrip of paper just handed him. "Fun as that sounds ... I have a Confirmation to survive."

With a wink, Jal throws his pack across his back, skirts the large wolf, and heads for the door.

Got a spot in Confirmation. :D

Yep, a fine tourney that was, I admit. Of course I should know, I was there.

I'll see if a 7-11 scenario turns up as well.

"Faldoc! I didn't see you over there. Yeah," Desmond leaps up and makes his way to his former teammate. "Did you get the victory tattoo? I got mine on my bicep here," Desmond rolls up his sleeve to show off the image of a stylized phoenix. Below the image of the phoenix are some tien characters.

"See that, I got them to add a little customization. Those tien letters mean Man With the Giant Snake - it's called a double on-tawn-druh," Desmond says with a wink.
