Playing Assault on Absalom
  Pathfinder Society Special #9–00: Assault on Absalom is an interactive event in which many tables contribute to a shared success. This allows both Pathfinder Society Roleplaying Guild and Pathfinder Society Adventure Card Guild players to participate in the same adventure! An Overseer GM coordinates the event, making announcements and tallying reported results over the course of the adventure. It’s important that everyone pause play and listen when the Overseer GM makes announcements. When the table completes an objective in scenario 9-00A or wins Scenarios 9–00B, C2, or D, your Box Runner will report a success to the Overseer GM. Do not report a success for Scenario 9–00C1.
  The event has three parts. In Part 1, event organizers are mustering tables, and players are being seated, unpacking dice, and introducing themselves. During this time, decide what character you are playing, and decide as a group whether you would like to begin the event by playing Scenario 9–00A (a scenario that focuses more on consolidating Absalom’s resources and recruiting help) or Scenario 9–00B (a more combat-heavy scenario). You will play each at least once, so where you begin is a matter of group preference. Whichever you choose, set up the scenario and read the opening text aloud. Don’t begin playing until the Overseer GM cues the start of Part 2 by reading out the opening scene (listen for the Overseer GM as Marcos Farabellus calling for the Pathfinders to “Seek out the leaders for instructions, and make the city proud”).
  After you complete either Scenario 9–00A or 9–00B, set up and play the other scenario, alternating which scenario you play each time. Continue to build and play until the Overseer GM begins Part 3. When the Overseer GM calls an end to Part 2, immediately end the current scenario. You did not win or lose, and do not earn the scenario reward, but players can upgrade their decks. Then begin setting up Scenario 9-00C, which has two sections (C1 and C2). Don’t begin playing until the Overseer GM announces the start of Part 3. If you win Scenario 9–00C2, you may play it again and continue reporting successes.
  Finally, when the Overseer GM announces the final transition, end the current scenario (you did not win or lose, as above). Set up and play Scenario 9–00D. If you win this scenario, repeat it and continue reporting successes until the end of the adventure.

DURING THIS ADVENTURE
At the start of this adventure, choose whether you wish to count the adventure for purposes of tier advancement. If you choose not to count this adventure as tier advancement, you do not gain feats as provided in the Guide, but you do gain scenario rewards and deck upgrades as normal.
This adventure does not use traders.
Do not read any scenario’s villains or henchmen before playing it.
If you are dead at the end of a scenario, you may play another character for the next scenario.
If you fail a scenario, immediately replay it.
When playing this adventure in Tier 2, the scourge die is 1d6; in Tier 5, the scourge die is 1d8+1.
Any character may bury a card that has the Healing trait, an ally, or a blessing to give a displayed or buried Reinforcements support card to another Pathfinder Adventure Card Guild table that does not have one displayed or buried.

NEW RULE: REINFORCEMENTS
This event introduces a new type of support card: reinforcements. The Overseer GM will randomly choose one-third of the Adventure Card Guild tables (rounded up) and give them the support card Reinforcements. When a table gets this card, display it next to the scenario. While displayed, the card’s powers are in effect for characters at that table.

NEW RULE: FAVORS
This event introduces a new type of support card: favors. Certain scenarios place favors into the blessings deck. When that card is discarded from the blessings deck, do what it says. Afterward, if it would be removed from the blessings deck discard pile, banish it instead.

ANNOUNCED CONDITIONS
During the adventure, the Overseer GM will announce numerous conditions that affect all characters. If a character is encountering a card at that time, the condition occurs after the encounter. If a character is attempting a check outside of an encounter, the condition occurs after the check.

RULES: SHIPS AND PLUNDER
  This event uses a simplified variation of the ship and plunder rules from Skull & Shackles. Ignore any references to commanding or seizing ships.
  Even though a ship is neither a bane nor a boon, encountering a ship is much like encountering a bane. First apply any effects that happen when you encounter a ship. Then, if you don’t evade it, you must attempt a check to defeat it. If you succeed at all of the checks required to defeat a ship, stash a plunder card (see below). If you fail a check to defeat a ship, it deals an amount of Structural damage equal to the difference between the difficulty to defeat the ship and your check result. Characters may play cards or use powers that reduce Structural damage (effects that reduce damage to characters do not reduce Structural damage), then characters must collectively discard from the tops of their decks a total number of cards equal to the remaining Structural damage.
  When you are instructed to stash or add a plunder card, roll 1d6 on the table below and draw a card of the corresponding type from the game box.
1: Weapon 2: Spell 3: Armor 4: Item 5: Ally 6: Blessing

Dot. Sounds exciting AND scary!

  As you gather at the Grand Lodge, Master of Swords Marcos Farabellus addresses the crowd: ”Pathfinders, our beloved Absalom faces the threat of invasion and needs our help. Just as Absalom has been our Society’s home for centuries, so does it fall to us to aid in its defense. Find the group to which you’ve been assigned, lend a hand as the city prepares for the siege, and be ready for more instructions.”
  Hundreds of Pathfinders stand waiting at the Grand Lodge for news of the coming battle, and a murmur of anticipation has risen from the nervous crowd. Master of Swords Marcos Farabellus takes the lectern, raises his hand for attention, and speaks: “Pathfinders, thank you for answering my call. It has been two days since we received news of an army of demonic abominations building a siege castle in the Cairnlands north of Absalom. Today, the Grand Council of Absalom announced they have invoked an old wartime law, according to which a Siege Lord must be appointed to oversee the city’s defense. They’ve made an excellent choice: Wynsal Starborn, District Seat on the Grand Council and retired Captain of the First Guard.
  “He has already organized scouting forays and evacuations of the outer towns in preparation for a siege. The Pathfinder Society has pledged to help the Siege Lord with the preparations. All of you have been assigned to teams, and if you have already found the other members of your team, you should get started. Go now, but be ready to return here when you hear the signal horn.”

9-00B: THE BLACK ECHELON STRIKES
  It’s said that 800 years ago, Taldor’s aristocracy grew envious of Absalom’s riches and power. Hoping to seize the island metropolis for itself, Taldor built a mighty armada to invade the city under cover of the spring fog. To ensure Absalom was too weak to defend itself, the invasion included a contingent of saboteurs known as the Black Echelon, who planned to destroy key defensive points and signal the fleet’s approach using prearranged signal lights.
  Those signals never came. Heroes of Absalom had rooted out the infiltrators and put them to the sword, and Absalom’s own navy then launched a surprise counter attack against the Taldannavy, sinking every one of the ships. The failed invasion came tobe known as the Silent Tide and was little more than a historical footnote until the aging military historian Yargos Gill unearthed the old Side Tide codebook and recreated several of the lighted signals in the spirit of historical reenactment. What he did not know was that each member of the Silent Tide had sworn a binding oath to invade Absalom, no matter the cost. When these restless spirits perceived the familiar invasion signals, they rose from the dead. Pathfinders managed to recover the codebook, call off the undead, and lock away the codebook. But it seems someone has recovered it—or a copy—and called to the Taldan marines once more.
  Black Echelon operatives are now attacking strategic locations within the city, including Fort Tempest along the city’s western wall. So far, Absalom’s guards have been too busy to retake the fort. But the nearby Puddles district’s militia, known as the Muckruckers, are eager to oust these undead invaders with whatever help they can get.
  The Pathfinder Society’s Dark Archive faction specializes in acquiring and maintaining dangerous texts and artifacts. Its leader Zarta Dralneen believes that a copy of the Silent Tide codebook lies within the vast Forae Logos library in the Wise Quarter. The trouble is that the library has gone dangerously quiet. Zarta suspects that the Black Echelon may have struck there, too. If you could just reach the library and find where the codebook is hidden, you could then send confusing signals to the undead invaders and lead them astray.
  Either task could turn the tide in Absalom’s favor, and the choice is yours.

Please decide as a group where you would like to go to launch your initial defense. Will you fight off the Black Echelon operatives attacking Fort Tempest, or the Dark Archive?

"The bravest thing to do would be to help defend Fort Tempest. I will go where my team prefers though"

OVERSEER ANNOUNCEMENT
  Heavy clouds are gathering above Absalom, and the city is tense with
anticipation of the coming battle. Suddenly, bright light patterns flash from atop Skyreach. A few minutes later, the sound of an explosion rumbles through the city as an old wooden granary erupts in flames. A little farther away, a stone bridge collapses, dropping a group of soldiers to their deaths. Soon the air is alive with frightened screams, the sound of hurried footsteps, and moments later, the booming blare of a brass horn that rises above the din of a city in chaos. A messenger runs past, shouting: “The horn! We should gather at the Grand Lodge! Let’s go!”

Final preparations are being completed. I will singal the start of part 2 tomorrow (10/2/18).

Alase suggests that going to the Fort Tempest is a good short term step, however focusing on recovering the code book would stop it long term
Vote for Dark Archive

"I care not. I can find ways to advance my craft no matter the locale. Though I suppose I may find inspiration among the ancient tomes hoarded by the Dark Archive."

No real preference. In event of a tie or something, slight preference for Dark Archive

Seems like Guardian Vault is a decent place to start to avoid that poison damage.
I'd like to emphasize Raz's main feature, which is to take combat for other characters. Please take advantage of this ability and use any of my cards/abilities as you desire to fight battles in your place. Also, I'll be counting this towards tier advancement.

OVERSEER ANNOUNCEMENT
Several agents assist in marshaling Pathfinders as Marcos Farabellus unfurls several maps of Absalom’s districts. Once a crowd has gathered, he straightens to address the gathered Society. “Pathfinders, Absalom is under attack. We have received many reports of undead saboteurs attacking armories, granaries, water supplies, and guard outposts—targeted strikes to undermine our city’s infrastructure. Absalom is losing key resources, and enough people are panicking that it’s difficult to organize an effective defense.
  Zarta Dralneen, head of the Dark Archive faction, steps forward and interjects. “I have learned someone—someone who knows our home well—has stolen the Black Echelon codebook from our archives. A force of Taldan agents attacked Absalom long ago while following those encoded orders, and with the right combination of illuminated signals, one could draw these oathsworn operatives from beyond the grave to continue their attack.”
  Farabellus narrows his eyes. “That explains the acts of sabotage. Absalom’s First Guard is struggling to restore order, and they need our help. Pathfinders, stand by for instructions!”
  Ollysta Zadrian of the Silver Crusade raises her sword high, announcing, “We should not wait—Absalom needs us now!”
  Clasping the paladin’s upraised hand with her own, Lady Gloriana Morilla adds, “Each of us has accumulated considerable influence and resources in recent years, and this is the prime opportunity for each of us to lend Absalom our strength in its our of need. We may call ourselves factions, but today we can act as one!”
  Nodding with approval, Marcos Farabellus calls out to the assembled Pathfinders. “It’s decided. Pathfinders, we’re deferring to the specialized expertise of these seven organizations to rally Absalom. Seek out the leaders for instructions, and make the city proud.”
  Table GMs, Part 2 has begun.

A dwarf in well used but clean and quality travelling clothes runs by mumbling under his breath. "Ah am starting to think books can cause trouble as much as any beast! If only that ninja didn't run off...this would have been a lot easier! Bah! Who am Ah fooolin'! Having our wizard run off isn't helpful either."
The dwarf goes to another small group of people consisting of a female human paladin of Iomedae and 2 other male dwarves that look to be more comfortable hanging out in the forest rather than in cities or mines. "Ah'm glad to see other adventurers have taken up the call to help. With a bit of luck and gumption we can find this code book and turn the tide!" The troupe cautiously approaches and enters the vault as well.

[ooc]Good luck, Adventurers! Operation Bearded Storm will see what trouble they can muster.

I have a lightning storm to deal with

1d4 ⇒ 3

oh goodie, I take three damage and lightning storm moves to a random location....

1d6 ⇒ 2

okay, the lightning can go play with the dye market for a while....

I discard my damage which is my two blessings and my warhammer.
Before my first encounter, I am going to cure myself.

1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

so I get all my damage back and let's do the recharge check (which my sweet retriever will help me on... he's such a good boy

1d10 + 3 + 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + (1) + 1 = 8

yuck.... may I have Raz's Bastet?

Good enough.
Okay, with only my puppy to help, lets go exploring!

I found a villain. Before I act, each character at my location must succeed at a wisdom/perception 8 check or be dealt 1d4 cold damage.

I really would prefer not to be dealt cold damage, but c'est le vie. I am going to roll it because there is a blessing of bastet or maat I can ask for after the fact.

1d10 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

That yuck is supposed to be after my roll for wisdom perception.... nont sure why it went after my recharge for the cure which was good.....

Okay, having gotten permission to use Bastet, let's hope this roll goes better

1d10 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

hmmm, why couldn't that have been the first roll so I could have used MAAT?

thanks to google hang-out strategy sesh....
using Maat on BYA check which allows me to make the check.

Alase charmed monster which reduced the difficulty by 5

So I have a Combat 9 check

1d8 + 1d6 + 1d4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + (5) + (4) + 2 + 1 = 20

and apparently my dice came to play that time.... so monster is "defeated" and runs away.

KEEP IN MIND, people still need to make bya checks, I only used Bastet from Raz, Maat and Charm monster from Alase (who was at a different location and therefore didn't need to make the bya).

Okay, end of turn things with knowledge that retroactive bya rolls will happen later...

I move to a random location
1d6 ⇒ 1

I always wanted to check out a plaza.... though this one seems a little dilapidated....
