Venture-Captain Trotter stands up again with a handful of papers. "Pathfinders! I've got quite a few announcements today so just sit tight for a moment!" He takes out his reading glasses and glances down at the first paper.
"First of all, Venture-Captain Jorsal of Lauterbury has requested some agents to head to Nerosyan to investigate a potential discovery of a Sarkorian site in rural Mendev. Apparently several Pathfinders have already been sent but an issue has arisen and he has requested a new team."
"Ok, next up we've got a mission involving my dear friends the Blakroses. I'll need some agents to meet with Venture-Captain Sir Canayven Heidmarch in Korvosa to discuss the Blakros family's ancient enemies the Onyx Alliance, who have by association recently become our enemies as well. I believe Sir Heidmarch will need agents to travel to Nidal about some artifact the Onyx Alliance is after."
"Finally, as some of you may know, the Society has been working to set up a base camp in the Realm of the Mammoth Lords near the border with the Worldwound in preparation for our assault on the demon-infested lands. The Master of Swords Marcos Farabellus has requested some agents up north. Farabellus has been appointed warmaster and the Decemvirate has asked him to move in on the dwarven Sky Citadel of Jormurdun with the Society's forces. He would like some assistance in the command, though, and I'm sending along my finest agents for the task."
I'd be interested in Scars of the Third Crusade. Random Derrick should be available by the 4th. He'll still be 2nd level. If he's not available, I can bring Corrina Rand.
I may be afk on the 4th and 5th, but should be back on the evening of the 6th at the latest.

I'd like to get into Assault and Scars if possible.

A skinny Vudrani man walks into the lodge, dressed in a rather ostentatious suit of griffon mane armor.
"If you truly intend to sojourn into the worldwound, it would do you well have an unparalleled master of the arcane arts such as myself. Thus, I will grace you with my indispensable presence, I think."

Karu comes in from the work-in-progress training grounds that he is installing out back.
I have three upcoming missions that I need recruits for... Looks like two for the newbies and one for a seasoned group of adventurers. Karu thumbs through a sheaf of papers.
First up, a quick jaunt over to the Puddles district of Absalom. Should be an easy mission provided you don't get shivved in an alley.
Second, an Andoran village was razed by a Chelish slave-galley. We need some sailors to go hunt down the ship and take it to the Society for judgment, by force if necessary.
Last, but not least, some bones of a long dead wizard have surfaced on a mountaintop in Southern Galt. The Society wants 'em. Who knows why... Anyway, the job is to get the bones back to the Society in one pie.... however many pieces there are when you have found them. Heads up on this mission: the Aspis have been heard whispering about the same find.
Alright people, look sharp. As soon as I have enough volunteers, the missions will commence. Karu strides boldly back out to keep working on the training grounds.

Karu boldly strides into the common room during dinner, sweaty from his work.
The hunt for the Hydra's Fang begins! All volunteers report to the docks first thing in the morning. You leave for Andoren at daybreak.
The mission to Southern Galt is still looking for recruits. Remember, you need to be adequately experience before applying, no fresh recruits! There are still a few days before the mission can start anyway, something about papers to cross the Galtan border? Anyway, stay sharp Flaxseed lodgers.
Karu flexes his muscles. And anyone who needs training needs to get outside ASAP. We still have to install the black pudding fighting pit. I'm looking at you Trotter. Karu points two fingers at his eyes and then turns them directly at Trotter, who is enjoying a nice stew and mug of ale. Enough of that stew and ale and you won't be able to fit on any missions! Karu laughs heartily as he turns and boldly strides out toward the back lawn.

Overheard in the Lodge...
"There's a rumor that Skelg the Ripper, an envoy from the Land of the Linnorm Kings, lies wasting in his villa on the outskirts of Absalom." A young, wide-eyed halfling says. "It seems a frigid curse followed Skelg from his northern homeland and the Society wants to send some Pathfinders to look into it."
|
|
Another rumor overheard in the Lodge...
"A powerful Qadiran trade prince has died, and faction leader Aaqir al’Hakam has rushed to his homeland to attend his mentor’s funeral." The halfling gossips. "The death of such an influential merchant and politician has created a considerable power vacuum, and ambitious acquaintances from across the Inner Sea are in attendance to pay their respects, and likely also attempt to claim a piece of the trade prince’s legacy, and undercut their rivals’ attempts to do the same. As an act of support, the Pathfinder Society is sending representatives to the event in hopes of keeping it from spiraling into a bloodbath."

"One more team needs to be sent to Dawnton immediately! We have some Pathfinder agents that really need to be saved."
#5-22 Scars of the Third Crusade
"Moreoever, a new board for missions available to Pathfinders has been posted in the hall. Feel free to sign up for whichever mission you seem the more apt to undertake. At the moment, offers stand for departures to Osirion , Rahadoum , Magnimar , Kyonin and for a highly promising social occasion ."
Another list! Yay! Lithrac, could you put the level ranges for the games you've listed in the title? I think I know most of them by now but it would help.
Ah, so it is. It was waaaay off my screen so I never saw it. Thanks!

A tall, gaunt elf dressed in robes moves into the main hall and speaks up.
"Our mission in Kyonin to secure the help of Queen Telandira's famed rangers in the Worldwound is about to leave. We need two more agents to ascertain a safer mission for the Society."
"Moreover, we are preparing for the last push into the Worldwound to allow our expedition to Jormurdun to happen. We need tacticians and leaders of all kinds to lead our armies."

Ace stumbles in the door, drunk with two beautiful Kitsune chicks at his side who are clearly over-dressed for the Lodge and for Ace. You two are... (hic) a couple of foxes! Why don't you go find Trotter's room and... (hic) tell him that Ace sends you with his best regards.
After the ladies, move up the main staircase, their hips and tails swaying suggestively. Ace drunkenly falls into his favorite sofa from behind. From his nearly inverted position, Ace points at his fellow Pathfinders. Spread the word...(hic). The big dogs are looking for some fresh meat to head out to Qadira... (hic) Something about the desert...
Ace rolls into a more comfortable, upright position and pulls a half-consumed bottle of Elvish absinthe from behind a pillow. He takes a deep drink before continuing, And they need some... (hic) strong fellows, roadies basically... (hic) to head to the harbor to investigate... (hic) a boat... I'd do it, but they want me out... (hic) in Kyonin like yesterday. And I'm all like... (hic) Maaaaan, I got a gig in Razmiran like yesterday... (hic) plus I got this fine piece of mask out there... (hic) ... (hic) ...
Ace passes out snoring and hiccuping, as he usually does when he returns home from a mission or a gig. Especially a gig.

"Phew!" Everyone's favorite halfling Venture-Captain struts into the Lodge, waving his fedora at his red face, wiping a forearm across his sweaty brow. "Well that was an ordeal but I think we're all finished with the reorganization of the Flaxseed Estate. Sorry I haven't been to oversee the agents around here for a while but it just had to be done! But I'm back now, never fear!"
|
|
A pair of eyes groggily blink open. F*@(#$! Why is the room upside down?! Ace falls to the floor, rubbing his eyes and his head. He sees his favorite sofa stuck to the ceiling. Trotter! I don't know how you did this, but I will find you!
A leaflet slowly drifts down, landing on Ace's lap. Oh look, we got enough volunteers to go to Qadira. When did this get posted?
Ace stands up, Prestidigitates his clothes to look like new and pours himself a Bloody Mary (yes, there was a pitcher waiting). Well at least Trotter remembered the Bloody Marys.
He walks into the breakfast hall before announcing All of you lot who signed up for this. I think you should hurry. The last boat for Qadira leaves in three hours down at the docks. If you need guidance, I'm heading down to the Ticklefish soon anyway. Chop chop. And somebody get me a breakfast burrito!

Trotter rolls his eyes at Ace's antics and straightens out the message in his hand. "Well it seems there is some other business going on in Qadira. A Pathfinder was investigating the tomb prison of an ancient marid and has gone missing. I'm looking for one more agent to join those already in Qadira to go investigate what I'm sure will turn out to be a fascinating site."

Please sign me up for Assault on the Wound. I cannot seem to do it from work. I have two PCs available. Filios Philandril - Elven Rogue Swashbuckler/5 and Jake Hargrove - Human Two-Handed Fighter/4. Thanks

"Amenopheus has requested the Society's assistance in tracking the sages of his order. Departure to Sothis, in Osirion, is imminent. Please report there if you signed up for this mission. We're still looking for one more!"
"Master Aram Zey and Venture-Captain Amara Li are in dire need to help in our newly-founded base camp near the Worldwound. Elite agents are wanted for this mission!"
