Setare seems to be quite nervous and looks around. She is a scrawny girl with auburn hair and amber eyes.
Her features seem Chelaxian but also have something else mixed in.
She is wearing a brown adventuring outfit, a light mithral chain shirt, has a plume on her head and carries a fine scimitar at her hip that is attached to her wrist with a very fine chain.
Around her neck a pendant with the holy symbol of Sarenrae is clearly visible.
"Hel ... Hello ... everybody ... " Setare says with a quivering voice.
Then she focuses on the group of Pathfinders.
"Ehhh ... it is ... you know ... it is nice meeting you." and then looks away.

Sorry about that, wrong character.
Naevys looks up and smiles slightly. She talks very, very fast and in a crisp, clipped tone as she comes forward to greet Setare. She is obviously a tiefling, with small, vestigal wings, horns poking out from her hat, and a long flexible tail poking out the back of her coat. Nice to meet you, I'm Naevys. You are a cleric of Sarenrae, I take it?
Please make an introductory post which includes a description of your character if you haven’t already and feel free to interact with each other. Game officially starts Monday 9th
As Pathfinders you have been required to report to the Pathfinder lodge in Katherine, the capital of Qadira to meet with Venture-Captain Esmayl bin Qaradi for an important mission.
You group is gathering in the lodge’s entrance way enjoying a cool breeze around a bubbling fountain before being shown into the VCs office for your mission briefing.
Male Human (Azlanti) Bard (Duettist) 7 | HP 52/52 | AC 18, T 11, FF 17 CMD 14 | Fort +6, Ref +8, Will +7 | Init +4(5)* | Perc +10 | SM +18* | Spells Remaining: level 1 4/5 level 2 4/4 level 3 2/2 | Bardic Performance Rounds 22/23
Constantin strides into the room, bearing a neatly furled flag in one hand. He's a young man, standing a few inches too tall to look healthy with his slight frame. His strong widow's peak, prominent eyebrows, and intensely violet gaze make his heritage plain to all who would see it, and the soft robes he wears beneath his armor do nothing to spoil the look.
He greets his new allies with a grave nod, and an encouraging pronouncement,
"I'm sure the work we do this day will earn
a place of honor in the Chronicles.
Oh -
Constantin the Azlant is my name."
You wait in the entranceway around the bubbling fountain is brief as your group is shown to a large office where Venture-Captain Esmayl ibn Qaradi sits behind his immaculately clean desk with his head in his hands. He sighs, takes a deep breath, and rises to address his guests.
“Originally, I wasn’t planning on sending a team back out to the Zho Mountains. The risk of losing another team is, frankly, too high. If that weren’t enough of a reason, the Society’s assault on the Worldwound has left the lodge’s coffers much lighter too light to fund another expedition into dangerous territory so soon. However, following some conversations with fellow agents, I am reminded that all Pathfinders must come home no matter the cost, no matter the danger. The lessons of the Shadow Lodge still resonate.”
He nods toward a Pathfinder who stands silently in the corner. “In fact, the recent disappearance in the Zho Mountains has brought a surge of monetary support from the onetime disciples of Grandmaster Torch. It was enough to finance your voyage here, and I would happily provide you the remainder if you succeed.”
The venture-captain takes a few steps toward a map of Qadira hanging from his wall. “Six years ago, a team of Pathfinders received a map of an unexplored area in the Zho Mountains, and ever since they have stayed busy surveying the region and sending me updates. Until recently, they had uncovered only a few dozen small sites and a plethora of new plant and animal species, but their most recent update referenced a large illusory barrier. Since then we have not heard from them, and I believe they found something dangerous beyond.”
“I ask that you use what notes I have on file to track down these agents and make sure they return safely. Investigating the nature of this illusory... field, barrier, shield... is secondary at best.” Esmayl pauses for a moment before continuing. “If you have any questions, I shall answer them as best I can, though most of what the Society knows about the mountains is in the logbooks of those agents.”
Knowledge (geography) DC15:
Although the mountains rarely more than 2 miles high, they are nonetheless a formidable barrier between
Qadira’s Ketz and Meraz Deserts.
Knowledge (geography) DC20+:
Two of the most famous peaks are Zhonar and Zhobl, a pair of large volcanoes that violently erupted nearly a thousand years ago.
Knowledge (geography) DC10:
It is common knowledge that the Zho Mountains are home to feral beasts, draconic monsters, and other dangerous creatures.
Knowledge (geography) DC20:
Qadira’s spellcasters have long practiced elemental magic and conjured genies, and geniekin are relatively common in the region. It is believed that most have gravitated toward settlements in the Zho Mountains, though nobody seems able to confirm this rumor.
Knowledge (geography) DC25:
The few explorers who’ve tried to locate these communities have found the mountains to be deceptively difficult to navigate, and what looks like a mountain pass from afar is often merely a mirage.

Naevys pauses, looking up from the pistol she was sharpening, glancing around at her companions.
I'm not well versed in Geography myself. Anyone else know anything about the area?
She turns back and focuses in on the Venture Captain.
Venture Captain Qaradi, a few things.
Could we have access to the reports filed by the pathfinders? I'd like to know anything you can tell us about the flora and fauna in the area as well as a copy of the map received.
You mentioned Log books. Do we have those, or are they still in the field with the team that disappeared?
What can you tell us about the illusory barrier? I'd like to understand what information we have before we are not in a position to gather additional resources.
"I've heard that the Zho Mountains are home to feral beasts, draconic monsters, and other dangerous creatures--like geniekin! Reports unconfirmed, but unconfirmed reports are usually the true ones!"
The well-groomed dwarf in the corner remained relatively uninvolved before the Venture-Captain's appearance, dismissing any attempts at chatter with an annoyed offhand wave.
But, once Esmayl ibn Qaradi makes an appearance, his entire demeanor seems to change, as he quickly moves to introduce himself to the VC.
"Baron Smarmy, of Kravenkus." He says, unctuously. "I am truly honored you have asked me on this important mission. Clearly you have gained great wisdom from the past, and I will endeavor to not disappoint and live up to your shining example!"
Male Human (Azlanti) Bard (Duettist) 7 | HP 52/52 | AC 18, T 11, FF 17 CMD 14 | Fort +6, Ref +8, Will +7 | Init +4(5)* | Perc +10 | SM +18* | Spells Remaining: level 1 4/5 level 2 4/4 level 3 2/2 | Bardic Performance Rounds 22/23
Constantin sits a moment and quietly confers with his rabbit before he speaks in imperious tones:
"Though th'peaks of Zho lie scarcely two miles high,
Between the Ketz and Meraz none may ply
Their trade lest they be set upon by beasts,
And creatures touched by elemental power.
Or even Genies brought by Kelish wiles
To dwell beneath the twins - Zhonar, Zhobl -
Erupting mountains stilled quite long ago."
Naevys request the pathfinder reports and a copy of the map. She then ask for more details about the illusory barrier.
Truddig scratches his head thinking about the geography and locals.
Oloch comments about agent’s safety as he sharpens his sword.
Smarmy reassures Venture-Captain Esmayl that he will not disappoint him in this mission.
Consulting with his rabbit, Constantin rattles off a list of known geographical features and locals.
The Venture-Captain Esmayl nods, ”Yes I have had the notes and map copied already. Also there have been a few supplies donated from former Shadow Lodge agents.”
The Captain hands over a bag that contains the map, notes, a potion of remove curse, a potion of cure serious wounds, six potions of endure elements, and 2 doses of oil of Taggit.
The first Pathfinder team’s notes and maps provide an incomplete picture of the mountain range and it myriad pathways it will take skill and some time tracking to follow the path they took.
Esmayl shakes his head, ”As for more information about the illusory barrier, unfortunately that was what they were investigating when they disappeared. There last message gave some information about the landmarks and trail they were following when they discovered the illusion and that they were investigating further. ”
The Venture-Captain shugs, ”I wish I had more information for you to go on.”
You can ask more questions of the VC, after which you can purchase any last minute supplies you may need.
After meeting with Esmayl and making any purchases, another agent leading a dozen horses and wearing a wayfinder meets your group. He loans you the horses and offers you luck in the name of the Shadow lodge.
Setting off through the Zoh Mountains
Please make Perceptions and/or Survival checks to spot landmarks and find marks scraped into wind-blasted rock faces left by the first pathfinder party. Also any other actions you may take to help track the missing group path.
Once the Venture-Captain is no longer with them, Smarmy isn't quite so animated anymore. He still puts on the appearances of being friendly, but it seems a little forced, somehow.
Tracking things through the desert is not quite his forte... but he keeps an eye out, if only to save his own hide if the others screw things up.
Male Human (Azlanti) Bard (Duettist) 7 | HP 52/52 | AC 18, T 11, FF 17 CMD 14 | Fort +6, Ref +8, Will +7 | Init +4(5)* | Perc +10 | SM +18* | Spells Remaining: level 1 4/5 level 2 4/4 level 3 2/2 | Bardic Performance Rounds 22/23
Are you okay sharing around some wand charges, Naevys? If not I'll pick up a wand as well if you don't mind using it.
As Naevys weaves protections over him and his rabbit, Constantin smiles warmly, "I thank you for the aid this day my friend," but it is clear that his mind is on the hunt!
Knowledge (geography) to make certain we don't go too far off their route? (Bunny Aid):1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 Knowledge (geography):1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
Appearing friendly enough, Smarmy does a good job of keeps an eye out for paths and landmarks left by the first group of pathfinders.
Naevys picks up a wand before leaving Katherine, the capital of Qadira. She rides along side Smarmy looking for landmarks.
Truddig searches for tracks and other marks, but feels out of his elements.
Constantin weaves protections over his rabbit and himself. Constantin is very alert and his rabbit sidekick keeps pointing out better paths.
The quite half orc Warpriest Oloch follows up in the rear looking everywhere and nowhere.
The group follows the trail as best they can as it winds around and over several of the lower peaks, gradually taking them several dozen miles into the Zho Mountains and several thousand feet higher in altitude. The group only loses the trail once causing them to lose about an hour backtracking.
After a few days of travel your group enters an alpine meadow filled with scrub brush and dry grasses that cling to the thin soil and all signs of the first groups’ progress vanish at this point. It appears to be a dead end.
Everyone Will save DC23 :
You see the same scrub filled alpine meadow as the others at first but after a moment its illusory nature clear, much of the plant life gradually fades into transparent shadows, and the cliffs at the far end of the vale part to reveal a much larger valley beyond. In the distance, a large wall encircles a humble town of stone structures. An immense castle built of bronze bricks towers over the settlement from its perch just above the base of a nearby mountain.

Will:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
Dunno. Does the trail just end here? Maybe they used teleportation magic to go further? I do wonder if we are missing something here. Maybe this is the illusory barrier? Looks like the trail just vanished.
Naevys will pop out her wand of Mage Armor and tap herself for a charge, then put it back in her haversack.
Then she will cast Detect Magic and look around the clearing for anything odd.
Perception:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21
Does the DC23 include the bonus we get for knowing there is an illusion?
Truddig looks around confused, the trail seems to go stone cold here.
Naevys wonders what caused previous group’s signs to vanish. She cast detect magic as the others continue to search.
Oloch looks around.
Smarmy comments that they did mention an illusory barrier
Constantin and his rabbit explore the area and cast detect magic.
Both Naevys and Constantin find the area covered with a magic illusion aura, just as Smarmy predicted.
With the added knowledge and confirmation that there is a glamour at work everyone is eventually able to see through the effect. You see the same scrub filled alpine meadow at first but after a moment its illusory nature clear, much of the plant life gradually fades into transparent shadows, and the cliffs at the far end of the vale part to reveal a much larger valley beyond. In the distance, a large wall encircles a humble town of stone structures. An immense castle built of bronze bricks towers over the settlement from its perch just above the base of a nearby mountain.
Taking what precautions you deem necessary, your group eventually approach the city gate. Two ifrit guards hail you in the language of Ignan. After a moment they try again this time in Terran. With increasing impatience and frustration they ask again in Common ”State your business in Crystalcrag visitor!”
Wiz 1st Grease,Windy Escape Magus 2nd Glitterdust,Mirror Image,Scorching Ray 1st Burning Hands,Longshot,Snowball 0th Acid Splash,Detect Magic,Ray of Frost
Greetings! We are following the trail of several colleagues who have gone missing in this pass. I don't suppose you have seen them pass through here? That's a lovely barrier by the way. Impressive work.
The guards open the gates allowing the party to pass into the city. Despite the fact that any guards they see are Ifrits, the majority of Crystalcrag’s population is comprised of oreads. The oreads are more curious rather than shocked by the visitor's presence, and they respectfully yet shyly observe your group as they enter the town.
See map for town layout.
After a short while, an aging oread with hair-thin cracks spiderwebbing his skin approaches your group ”I am Eurdan Stonemantle one of the councilors well the only remaining councilor of Crystalcrag. Please, I must speak with you in private.”
He leads you to a building whose exterior bears the weathered inscription “Council House” in Terran. Inviting you inside he explains ”You are the second set of visitors to reach Crystalcrag in the last few weeks, it can’t be coincident. They called themselves Pathfinders and wore a strange compass badge. If you are looking for them I’m afraid they are guest -- almost certainly the prisoners of Crystalcrag’s ruler, Tygora.”
He sighs sadly before continuing, ”My fellow councilor Koriath and many of the town’s Oreads were excited about visitors and was a minor rallying point for us. Shortly afterward the visitors were abducted along with councilor Koriath. I suspect Tygora has all of them imprisoned. Unfortunately, the palace’s defenses are very strong and it would be difficult to rescue your friends without help.”
Naevys ask about what sort of help would be needed and how to secure the help hypothetically speaking.
Stonemantle shrugs, ”If I was a hero, I would be well advised to speak to others and see what could be done to weaken Tygora’s forces first. I would suggest visiting the Fifth Facet, the largest tavern and natural gathering place for oread workers; Valsog’s smithy, a large smithy operated by a giant who crafts weapons for Tygora’s growing army; and the Everlasting Fire, an oread-owned alchemy shop that is one of many local businesses that Tygora has coerced to supply her ifrit soldiers.”
Constantin ask about Tygora willingness to treat with them.
Stonemantle tells Constantin ”Tygora Cinderfury is our city’s efreeti ruler, oversees all actions for the city. I have no doubt she already knows you are here. She lives in Fury’s Hold, the large palace that you probably saw while you were making your way to Crystalcrag. Perhaps it would help to know our history, then you can decide what is best.”
He begins the tale ”Centuries ago when the Zhonar and Zhobl volcanoes erupted they caused the original buildings to collapse leaving the town devastated. Nonetheless, the oriads tirelessly rebuilt what they could. Tygora an efreeti arrived and offered magical assistance in rebuilding our town a single wish. The town’s council wished for a rebuilt settlement, seclusion, and safety from the outside world. On the one hand, Tygora honored the geniekin’s desires by veiling Crystalcrag and its surroundings lands with powerful illusion magic. On the other hand she twisted their wish to rebuild the town to fit her own needs--with her as its absolute ruler. Under her dictatorial reign, Crystalcrag has grown in influence at the expense of the oreads’ freedom and happiness, yet most have come to accept their safety as a fair trade for their servitude.”
Stonemantle continues with his tale, ”Over the past century, something has caused many oreads to give birth to ifrit children. The efreeti has been quick to take these youths under her wing, giving them both instruction and special privileges to secure their ruthless loyalty. The oreads have voiced some resistance to this two-tiered society, but that has only invited crackdowns and new restrictions. I believe Tygora is preparing to conquer her neighbors using this army of ifrit champions, and all she needs is the continued--albeit coerced-- cooperation of her oread subjects. An added complication keeping the oreads in check is that the ifrit guards are still the oreads’ children.”
Truddig ask why the first group was abducted.
Stonemantle shrugs, ”The Pathfinders’ arrival had been a minor rallying point for the oreads, but they were abducted along with my fellow councilor Koriath before anything came of it.”
Smarmy is impressed by Tygora's clever schemes. Such machinations were right down his alley... if a bit beyond his reach at present. Extra-planar politics were a little outside his purview... but in the end, it was little different than any other petty crime lord he'd run into in any large city.
Of course, should the efreeti be overthrown, that would create a vacuum of opportunity, just waiting to be filled by a clever dwarf.
"I, Baron Smarmy, would be happy to help you in your plight!" He says, breaking his silence. "Such cruel oppression, when all you asked is safety... that can not be permitted to continue! And the children!"
You're not sure how much he really cares about said children, but he's putting on a concerned facade.
"As our new friend rightly says, the smartest thing to do would be to weaken him before a frontal attack, which seems to you if we start by making a visit to that forge."
Wiz 1st Grease,Windy Escape Magus 2nd Glitterdust,Mirror Image,Scorching Ray 1st Burning Hands,Longshot,Snowball 0th Acid Splash,Detect Magic,Ray of Frost
Smithy seems a fine place to start. We might then want to go to the tavern and gather some additional information and potential allies, as well as to the alchemy shop, looking for the same.
Impressed Smarmy pledges to make changes and stop the cruel oppression and for the children.
Oloch agrees weakening the foe is the first step and suggest visiting the forge.
Naevys agrees to start at the forge then maybe the tavern.
Constantin leads the way to Valsog’s smithy down one block and to the left.
Approaching the Smithy and Armory, smoke rises from a massive chimney in this open-sided smithy, whose ceiling rises at least twenty feet above the ground at its lowest point. A fenced yard host a multitude of swords, shields, breastplates, and helms -- some are propped up on stands and others lying incomplete in piles. The cadence of steel on steel rings out from the shop. A 14-foot-tall slag giant is working at the forge heating metal then striking it on one of the half dozen anvils with a very large hammer.
The slag giant looks your group over his eyes quickly appraising the quality and craftsmanship of your armor and weapons, ”Welcome to my forge, it is not often I get visitors who appreciate true craftsmanship of their tools of trade” He continues to work as he talks.
Looking at Smarmy, he comments ”Mithril armor one of the nobleler metals to craft in. It has been a while since I have used such metal at my forge. Tygora demanded growing quantities of weapon and armor no time for quality or true masterworks.”
Glancing at the half-orc spiked full plate and magical greatsword, ”That is a powerful weapon it looks well made. If only I was allowed time to craft such weapons, allas I do not.”
Turning to Constantin, the giant continues ”Matched Mithral armor and shield wise choice excellent mobility and protection!”
The giant smith seems impressed with Smarmy’s, Oloch’s and Constantin’s quality of armor and weapons carried. (Smarmy, Oloch, and Constantin have +2 bonus to diplomacy checks.)
Valsog continues to work speaking between hammer blows, ”What brings you to Valsog forge today?
Male Human (Azlanti) Bard (Duettist) 7 | HP 52/52 | AC 18, T 11, FF 17 CMD 14 | Fort +6, Ref +8, Will +7 | Init +4(5)* | Perc +10 | SM +18* | Spells Remaining: level 1 4/5 level 2 4/4 level 3 2/2 | Bardic Performance Rounds 22/23
Constantin strides through the room, taking in the looks of the place, noting what seems to be the points of pride and frustration before he speaks.
"Your eye for careful craft betrays your heart,
For tools demand a purpose which is true,
Base bondage needs no masters artifice."
He finished his tour and looked the giant comfortably in the eyes, seemingly uncowed by his might.
"Speak true, for now with friends you stand indeed,
Have you not gone to rust in Crystalcrag?
Tygora's reign must end without delay.
And all we ask is that you stand aside."
Truddig inspects some of Valsog’s recent work, he can tell that the weapons are serviceable having been produced quickly, but he can see even in rushed every hammer blow struck to make the weapons was done with precision. (sorry, it not just mithral, The others had more valuable bling items than Truddig.)
Constantin speaks to Valsog crafting each word to hit at the giants’ frustration and pride.
Oloch and Naevys add their words to his making the argument even more persuasive.
The slag giant looks around at the crap weapons and armor he has been forced to make and then at the high quality arms and armor that your group wear, ”I am weary of wasting my talent’s crafting weapons fit not fit for pigs. If you intend to end Tygora’s reign, then I will insure these arms and armor will not be delivered to Tygora!” With that he smashes the piece he is currently working on ruining it with one blow and tossing it into a pile of scrap. He reaches for another finished work to smash as well.
Smarmy frowns for a moment, then forces a gracious smile onto his face. "Though refusing to assist Tygora's minions is laudable, and we can only hope to live up to your convictions... it seems a shame to destroy weapons of such undeniable craftsmanship." He interjects. "Perhaps one could provide them to those who oppose her instead? Then you'd both deny them to her allies, and help to remove her from her throne, at the same time."
"Not that I have any say in how you dispose of your work." He amends quickly.
Truddig nods with Smarmy. "I agree; though violent revolt is the last answer... sometimes it is the answer. Perhaps, in the worst case, just hide these."
Pathfinder Society Scenario #6–07: Valley of Veiled Flame (PFRPG)
A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for levels 5–9.
For years a Pathfinder team has surveyed Qadira’s Zho Mountains in an attempt to reconcile its twisting valleys with a series of old maps recovered years ago on the Silken Way. When the team disappears soon after reporting a strange illusory effect in a mountain pass, the Society sends the PCs—funded by an unusual benefactor—to uncover whatever is hidden in those peaks and rescue the agents.
Content in “Valley of Veiled Flame” also contributes directly to the ongoing storylines of the Liberty’s Edge and Silver Crusade factions.

Unless I am mistaken, I noticed you have Kiaru signed up to play in “Chaosorbit's PFS PbP GameDay VIII #8-9/11:Forged in Flame“. According to PFS rules you can’t play the same character in different games at the same time. You are welcome to play a different character or a pregen if you don’t have a character of appropriate level.

If you haven't heard - I assume we are waiting to start?

Hey Everyone,
I have some unfortunate news. I regret to inform you all that we will have to postpone Gameday VIII by 2 weeks.
This would place our new dates for Gameday at: 09 Sept 2019 - 17 Nov 2019
WHAT IS GOING ON? WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?
As most of you are aware, the majority of the GM’s have not received their scenario support for the Convention to include a good portion of the Specials. With Tonya occupied by other duties this weekend, we realized as a team that we are very unlikely to see the remainder of scenario support drop by Monday the 26th. Multiple avenues were discussed and what seems to be the best solution is to push Gameday back by two weeks. This will allow enough time for the GM’s to receive their scenarios and prep them.
BUT WHAT IF WE ALREADY HAVE OUR SCENARIOS, CAN WE START THEM?
Please hold off until the new start date to be able to eligible for your boon rewards. I understand this is a large inconvenience, we are doing everything we can to make this work. Part of that is to have everyone one the same start / end times rather than scattered.
We apologize for the inconvenience that this may cause, but we want all our GMs to have a chance to shine.
HOW DO I NOTIFY MY PLAYERS?
Go ahead and post the news to your tables. Feel free to copy this email if you wish. We will be posting notices in all the PBP lodges as well as the Gameday VIII Announcement page.
I know this is not what we hoped to do, and I’m sorry. Thank you for understanding that we’re scrambling to fix this.
If you have any other questions please don’t be afraid to ask.

Yes, while I have both scenarios I am running during the Gameday 8 now. I am going to respect the two-week delay. To be fair I did just get the other scenario Friday.
Sorry for the delay.
Smarmy - Yeah I could see where it might be contentious.
I'm heading out of town for the weekend; I should be able to carve out some screen time to post, but I can't guarantee it. Returning late Monday, which is a long driving day with no posts for sure.
Good (?) timing, I suppose, as there will be no actions from Truddig for a while, it seems. Please don't let me die! There is a wand of clw at his belt.
