"Set me free & I will give you the information you seek, nothing more nothing less."
Spica's spell allows a caster level check for the following or/and you can attempt something more traditional.
With a gentle tone, the chimes suppress the magic on of the collar. The inspired blade takes a crack at the lock.
Then another.
And another.
Eventually the metal around the efreet's neck uncoils. The creature takes a large fiery breath. He looks at the Pathfinders, heat in his molten eyes. The genie explodes in a fountain of flame and teleports away.
A moment later, a voice booms through the room. "Phlegos has been buying various excavation and construction supplies, then shipping them to an island just southwest of Qadira."
"Your traitor has been partnering with Jirandiel Waverider, a disgraced ex-Chelish naval officer turned pirate, who has been a curse on the shipping routes in that area with the aid of a monstrous sea creature."
"And yes,"He also confirms, "Some of the slaves Phlegos keeps on the island include a team of Pathfinders."
"Your service has been recognized. And repaid. For your courtesy, I will also tell you that you have eleven minutes before that scum Corvius returns. Goodbye."
|
"Shall we go, then?" Koryo asks the others, pulling out a piece of parchment and scribbling a note with the practiced motions of a scribe. "We can figure out what we're doing next once we're out of here. Corvius will be hesitant to come after us for that, but better not tempt him."
Mr. Vayn -
Thank you for your consideration, but we have been given a better offer.
|
Having largely stood by silently after introductions were made, Sorithar seemed hesitant about freeing the efreet, clearly uncomfortable, but avoiding involvement rather than arguing the point.
Now he nods in response to Koryo and turns to leave.
"We've made a powerful enemy for the society, even if it was the best way to go about things. Hopefully our efforts here do not suffer for it.
We'll need to charter a vessel to take us to this island, unless you have access to one Koryo..?"
Can locate glyphs of warding, symbol spells, and similar magical spell traps that use writing as if he were a rogue. He can use Perception or Knowledge (arcana) to notice such traps, and can use Disable Device or Spellcraft to disable these types of traps.

He is garbed in finely wrought, though slightly worn, dark explorer's garb with plenty of pockets and pouches, some of which seem quite full. A pair of dagger hilts stick out of each of his well tailored leather boots and a smaller crossbow hangs from a hook at his waist, across from a pouch of bolts. In his hands is a well worn, black basalt staff that seems almost alive, twisting into random irregular geometric patterns. On several of his fingers are gleaming rings of gold, bronze and other hues. A finely wrought, slim silvery headband sits upon his brow.
Short, tapered wands are tucked into his waist sash and one small gemstone hovers about his head, spinning around it at a distance of roughly a foot.

Within Chronicle: letter of introduction
* Timelost Chronicler: You have journeyed through the ancient serpentfolk city of Sessegishoss and witnessed the fall of the Starstone, granting you a remarkable perspective of Golarion’s history. You gain a permanent +1 bonus on Knowledge (history) checks from your first-hand knowledge. Once per scenario you may call on the nascent power granted by your exposure to the falling Starstone to find inner greatness, granting you a +1 morale bonus to a single d20 roll. You must declare your use of this power before the roll is made.
Gloomspire Explorer []: Despite having studied only a small portion of Sevenfingers’s tomb, you are now one of the Society’s foremost authorities on the enigmatic Gloomspires. While adventuring in the Gloomspires, you receive a +2 bonus on all Perception checks made to find hidden objects such as traps, treasure, and secret doors. If you check the box included with this boon, you gain the benefits of this boon for the duration of one scenario set anywhere other than the Gloomspires.
Debt of Cyphers: You rescued ex-Pathfinder and Cyphergate scholar Hirako Gurukaza from the hands of pirate kidnappers. In thanks, he has spread your name among the Order of the Cyphers. When in Riddleport, you gain a +2 bonus on Knowledge (arcana) and Linguistics checks when you consult Gurukaza before making the check. In addition, the Order's connection to some of Riddleport's more powerful criminal elements also provides you a future benefit in the form of a +2 bonus on Diplomacy checks made in the city to gather information.
* Riddleport Respect: Word of your defeat of pirate captain Alejia Netrav has spread throughout Riddleport, and you've earned the respect of the criminals and thugs that call the city home. When you flex your muscle, folks in the City of Cyphers pay attention. You receive a +2 bonus on Intimidate checks made in Riddleport as a result.
* You Rescued the Minotaur Prince: You rescued Nuar Spiritskin, the Minotaur Prince of Absalom and he is quite grateful that you have done so. Though he is absolutely unclear how he got into the Tangle in the first place, he pays this no mind and spreads the tale of your daring-do to his many contacts throughout the city. You gain a permanent +1 circumstance bonus to any Intelligence or Charisma-based checks made while in Absalom.
New Recruit (J. Dacilane) []: Your team of Pathfinders sponsored J. to join the Pathfinder Society. In exchange, she is eager to assist you on one of your future missions. You can direct J. to cast a spell from the spiritualist list (Pathfinder RPG Occult Adventures 76) as a standard action. The spell’s level can be up to one third of your character level (minimum 0). J.’s caster level is equal to your character level – 3 (minimum 2), and her Wisdom score is 17. J. is a noncombatant, and she is considered to be in your square for the purpose of determining the origin of her spell. When you use this boon, cross it off your Chronicle Sheet.
Ally of the Green [][][]: You have communed with the fugitive leshys of Anglemire and demonstrated your respect for their humble treasures. As a parting gift, the leshy Harvest Stripe gave you three gourd seeds imbued with some of the leshys' primal magic. As a standard action, you can check one of the boxes that precede this boon and consume one of these seeds as if it were a goodberry, though the seed heals 1d4+1 points of damage. Alternatively, you can feed a seed to an adjacent plant creature to grant it 5 temporary hit points and the benefits of divine favour (CL 6th) for 1 minute. When you check the last box, cross the entire boon off your Chronicle sheet.
* Archaeological Expert []: The Pathfinder Society has a strong tradition of archaeological exploration, and you have proven yourself a capable excavator and historian. You gain a +1 bonus to Appraise and Knowledge (history) checks to identify the cultural significance of art and objects. If you would fulfill the primary success conditions of an adventure but fail its secondary success conditions, you can cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet and attempt an Apprise, Knowledge (history), or Profession (archaeologist) check (DC = 10 + 2*character level). If you succeed, you make a small but significant archaeological discovery that allows you, and only you, to earn the Prestige Point reward anyway. You cannot Take 10 on this check.
Imperium Initiate []: Your study of Jistkan ruins and golems has taught you a few tricks for handling the supernatural soldiers of ancient Garund. You can cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet before casting a spell to make it especially effective against constructs and divs. Those creatures take a -2 penalty on all saving throws made against the spell for 1 round. Alternatively, you can cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet as a free action to treat hardness and damage reduction of all constructs and divs as 5 lower against your attacks for 1 round.
* Delvehaven Star []: You were an integral part of the Pathfinder Society’s first sanctioned expeditions in Cheliax in many years. In recognition of your role in this important milestone, the Society has imprinted your wayfinder with the Delvehaven Star—named in honor of a famous Chelish Pathfinder lodge. You gain a +2 bonus on Knowledge (history, local, and nobility) checks associated with Cheliax, and you gain a +1 bonus to your initiative while adventuring in Cheliax. Furthermore, you can check the box that precedes this boon when spending Prestige Points for spellcasting services to reduce the cost by 2 (minimum 0).
* Eye for Traitors (Dark Archive faction) []: You gain a permanent +2 bonus on Sense Motive checks to tell if someone is lying and on Will saves against illusions. You can cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet in order to re-roll a failed saving throw against an illusion effect and take the second result.
Precious Vindication []: At last! You have uncovered vital data that proves that you made the right choice under pressure, even if the common perception was that you had failed. Select one Pathfinder Society Scenario for which you earned less than the maximum number of Prestige Points. Increase the Prestige Points and Fame earned by 1 (or 0.5 if using the slow advancement track), up to the scenario’s maximum. Record the additional Prestige Points on that character’s next Chronicle sheet as well as below.
* Elemental Conquest: [] You have fought and fraternized with the guardians of Aucturn’s Tear, and although you triumphed, it is clear that this is not the last time you’ll clash with elemental forces. Choose one of the benefits below, and cross the other two off your Chronicle sheet. You may select an option only so long as you successfully completed at least one encounter in a region with that elemental affinity during this adventure.
Fire: You gain a +1 insight bonus on saving throws against spells, spell-like abilities, and effects of creatures with the fire subtype and against spells with the fire descriptor.
While adventuring on the Plane of Fire, you instead gain a +1 insight bonus on all saving throws.
As a swift action, you can check the box that precedes this boon in order to grant one weapon you wield the flaming weapon special ability for 1 minute; if the weapon already has the flaming special ability, it instead gains flaming burst for 1 minute.
Ranginori’s Debt: [][] You helped recover the Untouchable Opal, within which Ranginori, Elemental Lord of Air, is trapped. While imprisoned, his power is limited. Nonetheless, he has granted you an initial gift with the promise of greater rewards should the Society free him. You can activate this boon as a standard action by checking one of the boxes that precedes it, gaining one of the benefits based on your level when you activate the boon. For any spell-like ability, use your character level as your caster level.
Any Level: You can recall a spell slot or prepared spell you already cast that day. The spell is prepared again or the spell slot is available for use again, as if it had not been used already.
Levels 1–4: You cast cat’s grace, cure moderate wounds, lesser restoration, or shocking grasp as a spell-like ability.
Levels 5–8: Add cure serious wounds, fly, and lightning bolt to the list of spell-like abilities you can use.
Level 9–11: Add call lightning storm and cure critical wounds to the list of spell-like abilities you can use.
Level 12+: Add heal and whirlwind to the list of spell-like abilities you can use, though both of these spell-like abilities requires you to check both boxes.
Tome of First Contact [X][][][][]: You have recovered a strange tome that details utterly bizarre creatures rarely seen on your world. After rolling a Knowledge check to identify an aberration, ooze, or outsider (or a creature that is not native to Golarion) and learning the results, you can check one or more boxes that precede this boon. For each box you check, you can learn one additional piece of information, as if your Knowledge check result had been 5 higher. If you did not succeed at the Knowledge check in the first place, you can check one box to succeed at the Knowledge check to learn one piece of information plus the creature’s name, type, and subtypes.
Once you check the last box, you’ve expended the tome’s greatest secrets. It remains a curious keepsake.
Ectoplasmic Enhancement []: You recovered a sample of concentrated ectoplasm from the Gloomspires. You may activate this ectoplasm as a swift action to treat all of your natural attacks, unarmed strikes, and weapon attacks as if they had the ghost touch property for 1 round. If you have at least one level in the spiritualist class, the ghost touch property persists for 3 rounds and also affects her phantom’s natural attacks. When you use this boon, cross it off your Chronicle sheet.
Aid of the Overwatched [][]: You returned Ralzeros the Overwatched to Golarion and convinced him to lend his aid to the Dark Archive. In thanks for your help, Ralzeros convinces his familiar Daosvaria to send a piece of her essence and knowledge to assist you.
Instead of taking Daosvaria as a familiar, you can call her forth to share fragments of Ralzeros’s knowledge. Check a box that precedes this boon to roll a single Knowledge check using a bonus of 5 plus your character level in place of your typical bonus. If your own bonus is higher, you may instead gain a +2 bonus on the Knowledge check.
If you use this benefit, cross the option to take Daosvaria as a familiar off your Chronicle sheet.
Blessing of Nivi [X][X][][]: Your efforts on behalf of Kalsgard’s gnome population have drawn the attention, and blessing of the gnome goddess Nivi Rhombodazzle. This boon has different effects depending on your race. If you are a non-gnome, you may check a box next to this boon to cast blur as a swift action, with a caster level equal to your total character level. Once you have checked all the boxes next to this boon, you gain Gnome as a bonus language; this has no further effect for characters who already speak Gnome.
Gnomes of the North [][][]: You have befriended the gnomes of Kalsgard and found a home away from home at the Hall of Seven Wagers. You can check a box next to this boon to use either Bluff, Knowledge (local), or Sleight of Hand to make your Day Job check at the end of an adventure, doubling the amount of gold normally received for the result of your check. If you already have the ability to use one of these skills to make a Day Job check, checking a box instead grants you a +2 bonus on such a check, in addition to doubling the gold received as normal. This boon’s doubling effect does not stack with other benefits that would multiply the result of your Day Job check.)
Ghalcor’s Spellcraft: Following the battle at Ghalcor’s Tower, you were able to study the dead cleric’s notes and discovered that he also developed a handful of powerful spells. Now the Pathfinder Society and the Mendevian Crusade can wield these in the fight against the Worldwound. So long as you possess this boon, all of your Pathfinder Society Organized Play characters have access to the following spells from Pathfinder Player Companion: Demon Hunter’s Handbook as if they appeared on the Additional Resources page: burst with light, detect demon, and righteous blood.
Mendevian Commendation: You have received a medal for your service to Mendev and the Fifth Crusade. For every Mendevian Commendation you have, you gain a cumulative +1 bonus on Charisma-based skill and ability checks made to influence crusaders of Mendev (maximum +3).
Elixir of Renewal: [][] You gain a special elixir that you can consume as if it were a potion in order to restore 2d8+5 hit points as well as 1d4 points of one type of ability damage. You can use the potion only once, even if the user is under the effects of alchemical allocation (Pathfnder RPG Advanced Player’s Guide 201) or a similar effect that would allow one to benefit from a potion multiple times. Check the box that precedes this boon when you use this elixir.
[STRIKE]Righteous Redemption: [X] Thanks to your work bringing a lost hero’s legacy to light, key leaders in the crusader nation of Lastwall have begun seeing Pathfnders less as ruffians and more as potential allies. Between adventures or while in Lastwall, you can check the box that precedes this boon to requisition one of the following: a satchel containing six flasks of holy water and an oil of bless weapon; two scrolls of lesser restoration; a combat-trained warhorse (heavy or light) with a military saddle, bit, bridle, and week of feed; a masterwork longsword; or a masterwork lance. This gear is yours to do with as you please, but it has an effective resale value of 0 gp.[/STRIKE]
Worthy Foe: [][][] Lastwall is the Inner Sea’s bulwark against countless evils, and you have proven yourself against a local villain. As a swift action, you can check a box that precedes this boon to gain one of two benefits against enemies that correspond to the threat you defeated. First, you can choose to gain a +2 bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls against such creatures, as well as a +2 dodge bonus to AC against such creatures’ attacks.
Alternatively, you can gain a +2 bonus on caster level checks to overcome those creatures’ spell resistance, increase the save DC of your spells and abilities against those creatures by 1, and gain a +2 bonus on saving throws against those creatures’ spells and abilities. Either benefit lasts until the beginning of your next turn.
Tusks: You gain the benefits above against magical beasts and humanoids with the orc subtype.
Duskwarden’s Favor: [] Your actions below Kaer Maga have impressed the Duskwardens, and these guides teach you some of their tricks for safely navigating dangerous caverns. You can cross this boon of your Chronicle sheet to gain the ranger favored terrain ability (+2) in underground environments for the remainder of the scenario. If you already have favored terrain in underground environments, add 2 to the bonuses that you gain in underground environments for the remainder of the scenario.
What Ambush? (Scout Mission): [][] Your experience in Gallowspire has sharpened your senses against
hidden foes. When you would fail a Perception check to act on the surprise round, you can check a box that
precedes this boon to act on the surprise round. You are still considered flat-footed until you take an action.
Alternatively, you can check a box to reroll an initiative check.
Unravel Magic (Spellcaster Mission): [][] You have friends who know their way around magic. Check the box that precedes this boon as a swift action. A Pathfinder ally briefly enters the fight and casts dispel magic, with a caster level equal to your character level. If your character level is at least 13 when you activate this boon, your ally can cast greater dispel magic instead.
Timely Delivery (Muscle Mission): [][] No matter where you travel, you can count on one of your Pathfinder allies to keep you ready. You can spend 1 minute and 2 PP and check the box that precedes this boon to gain an item costing 750 gp or less. Unlike a normal purchase made with PP, you do not need to be anywhere near a settlement to acquire the item.
Tactical Strike (Guard Mission): [] You can rally your allies to make a coordinated strike. Check the box
that precedes this boon as a swift action and select one opponent. Until the beginning of your next turn, you
and all of your allies deal an additional 1d8 points of damage on all attacks against that opponent. You are
considered to be flanking that opponent if at least two of your allies are threatening that foe, regardless of
your actual positioning.
Restorative Burst (Medic Mission): [] A spark of divine grace from your medic allies protects you. When
you would be reduced to less than 0 hit points, you can check the box that precedes this boon to automatically
trigger a burst of healing around your body. This heals you and all willing allies within 30 feet, as the channel
energy ability of a cleric of your level.
Necromantic Surge: [][][][] You can check a box that precedes this boon to strike foes with the Whispering
Tyrant’s magic, using one of the following spell-like abilities based on your level when you activate this boon.
Use your character level as your caster level, and use your Charisma modifier to determine the spell’s DC.
Levels 5–8: You can use a spell-like ability from the following list: bestow curse, command undead, enervation,
false life, fear, or vampiric touch.
Levels 9–12: Add eyebite, possession (Pathfinder RPG Occult Adventures 181), and waves of fatigue to the list of spell-like abilities you can use.
Levels 13–16: Add control undead, finger of death, and greater possession (Occult Adventures 181) to the list of spell-like abilities you can use. Check two boxes to use these spells.
Levels 17+: Add energy drain and wail of the banshee to the list of spell-like abilities you can use. Check two
boxes to use these spells.
Echoing Paradox: [] A trace of the magic of the Sanctum of Lost Ages clings to you, and against all odds and reason, a future or past version of you can appear to provide assistance in a time of need. Before you roll an attack roll, a skill check, or a saving throw, a copy of you appears either to flank with you or to grant you a +2 bonus as per the aid another action. If you have an ability that grants a higher bonus on aid another actions, you gain this as a bonus instead; the copy also shares all of your teamwork feats. After the attack, skill check, or save is resolved, the copy fades away, and you are shaken until the end of your next turn by the unsettling paradox of being at two places at once.
Aggressive Researcher: [] You have proven your mettle in Absalom’s greatest libraries, and in the course of your research, you uncovered many facts that were not immediately relevant but might one day prove useful. You can cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet before attempting a Knowledge (arcana, history, or planes) check in order to treat your final check result as if it were 25, even if you are not trained in the skill. Alternatively, you may instead gain a +5 bonus on the check.
Acquainted with Aslynn: The entity known as Aslynn knows who you are and what you did in the Forae Logos. Whether this is to your advantage or detriment is as yet unknown.
Impossible Feat: [] The extraordinary actions possible within a dream might not be possible while awake, but you nonetheless dream of performing a similarly spectacular deed. You may cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet before attempting a skill check, saving throw, or attack roll to add 1d6 to the result of your check. If you roll a 6, roll the six-sided die again and combine the results. You may repeat this process up to twice for a maximum additional bonus of +18.
Charted Pillars: You can borrow a copy of Venture-Captain Norden Balentiir’s map of the Pillars of the Sun while traveling to that region. The map is imperfect, but it provides enough sufficient information about safe routes through the mountains that you gain a +2 bonus on Knowledge (geography) and Survival checks made when navigating the area.
Recruiter of Badru: You have convinced the soulbound construct Badru to contact Zarta Dralneen and consult for her Dark Archive. When you use Prestige Points to purchase make whole as a spellcasting service, Badru himself casts it at CL 12th. This boon may have other uses in future scenarios.
Relic Guardian: Your stewardship of historical treasures inspires you to act quickly to save such relics from destruction. Once per scenario, when an unattended object within your reach is targeted by an offensive spell, attack, or effect, you can treat that object as though it were in your possession for the purpose of attempting saving throws and resisting sunder attempts. If an opponent succeeds at a combat maneuver check to sunder an object in your possession, you can cross this boon of your Chronicle sheet to force the creature to reroll the attack with a –5 penalty.
* Boon Grants Permanent Bonus.

I'm not worried about that guy coming after us...I'm pretty sure he's going to have his hands full keeping that efreeti's hands off his throat...now...we need to deal with the fact we're going to be messing with pirates...might want to stock up on some basic supplies for that. And I just got back from my second trip to the Gloomspires, too...thought dealing with pirates wasn't going to be on the agenda this time...

"The Gloomspires, yes... Spent quite a bit of time there myself. Fascinating place." Sorithar shrugs. "Not sure I share your confidence Corvius will not try to 'teach us a lesson', but he does seem more subtle than that, hence my concern to Starsight's efforts in this town. That said, time is of the essence now that we've crossed Corvius. He might even let Phlegos know we're coming. What supplies were you going to suggest to secure..?"

If you succeed, you make a small but significant archaeological discovery that allows you, and only you, to earn the Prestige Point reward anyway. You cannot Take 10 on this check.
Imperium Initiate []: Your study of Jistkan ruins and golems has taught you a few tricks for handling the supernatural soldiers of ancient Garund. You can cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet before casting a spell to make it especially effective against constructs and divs. Those creatures take a -2 penalty on all saving throws made against the spell for 1 round. Alternatively, you can cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet as a free action to treat hardness and damage reduction of all constructs and divs as 5 lower against your attacks for 1 round.
* Delvehaven Star []: You were an integral part of the Pathfinder Society’s first sanctioned expeditions in Cheliax in many years. In recognition of your role in this important milestone, the Society has imprinted your wayfinder with the Delvehaven Star—named in honor of a famous Chelish Pathfinder lodge. You gain a +2 bonus on Knowledge (history, local, and nobility) checks associated with Cheliax, and you gain a +1 bonus to your initiative while adventuring in Cheliax. Furthermore, you can check the box that precedes this boon when spending Prestige Points for spellcasting services to reduce the cost by 2 (minimum 0).
* Eye for Traitors (Dark Archive faction) []: You gain a permanent +2 bonus on Sense Motive checks to tell if someone is lying and on Will saves against illusions. You can cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet in order to re-roll a failed saving throw against an illusion effect and take the second result.
Precious Vindication []: At last! You have uncovered vital data that proves that you made the right choice under pressure, even if the common perception was that you had failed. Select one Pathfinder Society Scenario for which you earned less than the maximum number of Prestige Points. Increase the Prestige Points and Fame earned by 1 (or 0.5 if using the slow advancement track), up to the scenario’s maximum. Record the additional Prestige Points on that character’s next Chronicle sheet as well as below.
* Elemental Conquest: [] You have fought and fraternized with the guardians of Aucturn’s Tear, and although you triumphed, it is clear that this is not the last time you’ll clash with elemental forces. Choose one of the benefits below, and cross the other two off your Chronicle sheet. You may select an option only so long as you successfully completed at least one encounter in a region with that elemental affinity during this adventure.
Fire: You gain a +1 insight bonus on saving throws against spells, spell-like abilities, and effects of creatures with the fire subtype and against spells with the fire descriptor.
While adventuring on the Plane of Fire, you instead gain a +1 insight bonus on all saving throws.
As a swift action, you can check the box that precedes this boon in order to grant one weapon you wield the flaming weapon special ability for 1 minute; if the weapon already has the flaming special ability, it instead gains flaming burst for 1 minute.
Ranginori’s Debt: [][] You helped recover the Untouchable Opal, within which Ranginori, Elemental Lord of Air, is trapped. While imprisoned, his power is limited. Nonetheless, he has granted you an initial gift with the promise of greater rewards should the Society free him. You can activate this boon as a standard action by checking one of the boxes that precedes it, gaining one of the benefits based on your level when you activate the boon. For any spell-like ability, use your character level as your caster level.
Any Level: You can recall a spell slot or prepared spell you already cast that day. The spell is prepared again or the spell slot is available for use again, as if it had not been used already.
Levels 1–4: You cast cat’s grace, cure moderate wounds, lesser restoration, or shocking grasp as a spell-like ability.
Levels 5–8: Add cure serious wounds, fly, and lightning bolt to the list of spell-like abilities you can use.
Level 9–11: Add call lightning storm and cure critical wounds to the list of spell-like abilities you can use.

Tome of First Contact [X][][][][]: You have recovered a strange tome that details utterly bizarre creatures rarely seen on your world. After rolling a Knowledge check to identify an aberration, ooze, or outsider (or a creature that is not native to Golarion) and learning the results, you can check one or more boxes that precede this boon. For each box you check, you can learn one additional piece of information, as if your Knowledge check result had been 5 higher. If you did not succeed at the Knowledge check in the first place, you can check one box to succeed at the Knowledge check to learn one piece of information plus the creature’s name, type, and subtypes.
Once you check the last box, you’ve expended the tome’s greatest secrets. It remains a curious keepsake.
Ectoplasmic Enhancement []: You recovered a sample of concentrated ectoplasm from the Gloomspires. You may activate this ectoplasm as a swift action to treat all of your natural attacks, unarmed strikes, and weapon attacks as if they had the ghost touch property for 1 round. If you have at least one level in the spiritualist class, the ghost touch property persists for 3 rounds and also affects her phantom’s natural attacks. When you use this boon, cross it off your Chronicle sheet.
Aid of the Overwatched [][]: You returned Ralzeros the Overwatched to Golarion and convinced him to lend his aid to the Dark Archive. In thanks for your help, Ralzeros convinces his familiar Daosvaria to send a piece of her essence and knowledge to assist you.
Instead of taking Daosvaria as a familiar, you can call her forth to share fragments of Ralzeros’s knowledge. Check a box that precedes this boon to roll a single Knowledge check using a bonus of 5 plus your character level in place of your typical bonus. If your own bonus is higher, you may instead gain a +2 bonus on the Knowledge check.
If you use this benefit, cross the option to take Daosvaria as a familiar off your Chronicle sheet.
Blessing of Nivi [X][X][][]: Your efforts on behalf of Kalsgard’s gnome population have drawn the attention, and blessing of the gnome goddess Nivi Rhombodazzle. This boon has different effects depending on your race. If you are a non-gnome, you may check a box next to this boon to cast blur as a swift action, with a caster level equal to your total character level. Once you have checked all the boxes next to this boon, you gain Gnome as a bonus language; this has no further effect for characters who already speak Gnome.
Gnomes of the North [][][]: You have befriended the gnomes of Kalsgard and found a home away from home at the Hall of Seven Wagers. You can check a box next to this boon to use either Bluff, Knowledge (local), or Sleight of Hand to make your Day Job check at the end of an adventure, doubling the amount of gold normally received for the result of your check. If you already have the ability to use one of these skills to make a Day Job check, checking a box instead grants you a +2 bonus on such a check, in addition to doubling the gold received as normal. This boon’s doubling effect does not stack with other benefits that would multiply the result of your Day Job check.)
Ghalcor’s Spellcraft: Following the battle at Ghalcor’s Tower, you were able to study the dead cleric’s notes and discovered that he also developed a handful of powerful spells. Now the Pathfinder Society and the Mendevian Crusade can wield these in the fight against the Worldwound. So long as you possess this boon, all of your Pathfinder Society Organized Play characters have access to the following spells from Pathfinder Player Companion: Demon Hunter’s Handbook as if they appeared on the Additional Resources page: burst with light, detect demon, and righteous blood.
Mendevian Commendation: You have received a medal for your service to Mendev and the Fifth Crusade. For every Mendevian Commendation you have, you gain a cumulative +1 bonus on Charisma-based skill and ability checks made to influence crusaders of Mendev (maximum +3).
Elixir of Renewal: [][] You gain a special elixir that you can consume as if it were a potion in order to restore 2d8+5 hit points as well as 1d4 points of one type of ability damage. You can use the potion only once, even if the user is under the effects of alchemical allocation (Pathfnder RPG Advanced Player’s Guide 201) or a similar effect that would allow one to benefit from a potion multiple times. Check the box that precedes this boon when you use this elixir.
[STRIKE]Righteous Redemption: [X] Thanks to your work bringing a lost hero’s legacy to light, key leaders in the crusader nation of Lastwall have begun seeing Pathfnders less as ruffians and more as potential allies. Between adventures or while in Lastwall, you can check the box that precedes this boon to requisition one of the following: a satchel containing six flasks of holy water and an oil of bless weapon; two scrolls of lesser restoration; a combat-trained warhorse (heavy or light) with a military saddle, bit, bridle, and week of feed; a masterwork longsword; or a masterwork lance. This gear is yours to do with as you please, but it has an effective resale value of 0 gp.[/STRIKE]
Worthy Foe: [][][] Lastwall is the Inner Sea’s bulwark against countless evils, and you have proven yourself against a local villain. As a swift action, you can check a box that precedes this boon to gain one of two benefits against enemies that correspond to the threat you defeated. First, you can choose to gain a +2 bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls against such creatures, as well as a +2 dodge bonus to AC against such creatures’ attacks.
Alternatively, you can gain a +2 bonus on caster level checks to overcome those creatures’ spell resistance, increase the save DC of your spells and abilities against those creatures by 1, and gain a +2 bonus on saving throws against those creatures’ spells and abilities. Either benefit lasts until the beginning of your next turn.
Tusks: You gain the benefits above against magical beasts and humanoids with the orc subtype.
Duskwarden’s Favor: [] Your actions below Kaer Maga have impressed the Duskwardens, and these guides teach you some of their tricks for safely navigating dangerous caverns. You can cross this boon of your Chronicle sheet to gain the ranger favored terrain ability (+2) in underground environments for the remainder of the scenario. If you already have favored terrain in underground environments, add 2 to the bonuses that you gain in underground environments for the remainder of the scenario.
What Ambush? (Scout Mission): [][] Your experience in Gallowspire has sharpened your senses against
hidden foes. When you would fail a Perception check to act on the surprise round, you can check a box that
precedes this boon to act on the surprise round. You are still considered flat-footed until you take an action.
Alternatively, you can check a box to reroll an initiative check.
Unravel Magic (Spellcaster Mission): [][] You have friends who know their way around magic. Check the box that precedes this boon as a swift action. A Pathfinder ally briefly enters the fight and casts dispel magic, with a caster level equal to your character level. If your character level is at least 13 when you activate this boon, your ally can cast greater dispel magic instead.
Timely Delivery (Muscle Mission): [][] No matter where you travel, you can count on one of your Pathfinder allies to keep you ready. You can spend 1 minute and 2 PP and check the box that precedes this boon to gain an item costing 750 gp or less. Unlike a normal purchase made with PP, you do not need to be anywhere near a settlement to acquire the item.
Tactical Strike (Guard Mission): [] You can rally your allies to make a coordinated strike. Check the box
that precedes this boon as a swift action and select one opponent. Until the beginning of your next turn, you
and all of your allies deal an additional 1d8 points of damage on all attacks against that opponent. You are
considered to be flanking that opponent if at least two of your allies are threatening that foe, regardless of
your actual positioning.
Restorative Burst (Medic Mission): [] A spark of divine grace from your medic allies protects you. When
you would be reduced to less than 0 hit points, you can check the box that precedes this boon to automatically
trigger a burst of healing around your body. This heals you and all willing allies within 30 feet, as the channel
energy ability of a cleric of your level.
Necromantic Surge: [][][][] You can check a box that precedes this boon to strike foes with the Whispering
Tyrant’s magic, using one of the following spell-like abilities based on your level when you activate this boon.
Use your character level as your caster level, and use your Charisma modifier to determine the spell’s DC.
Levels 5–8: You can use a spell-like ability from the following list: bestow curse, command undead, enervation,
false life, fear, or vampiric touch.
Levels 9–12: Add eyebite, possession (Pathfinder RPG Occult Adventures 181), and waves of fatigue to the list of spell-like abilities you can use.

Levels 17+: Add energy drain and wail of the banshee to the list of spell-like abilities you can use. Check two
boxes to use these spells.
Echoing Paradox: [] A trace of the magic of the Sanctum of Lost Ages clings to you, and against all odds and reason, a future or past version of you can appear to provide assistance in a time of need. Before you roll an attack roll, a skill check, or a saving throw, a copy of you appears either to flank with you or to grant you a +2 bonus as per the aid another action. If you have an ability that grants a higher bonus on aid another actions, you gain this as a bonus instead; the copy also shares all of your teamwork feats. After the attack, skill check, or save is resolved, the copy fades away, and you are shaken until the end of your next turn by the unsettling paradox of being at two places at once.
Aggressive Researcher: [] You have proven your mettle in Absalom’s greatest libraries, and in the course of your research, you uncovered many facts that were not immediately relevant but might one day prove useful. You can cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet before attempting a Knowledge (arcana, history, or planes) check in order to treat your final check result as if it were 25, even if you are not trained in the skill. Alternatively, you may instead gain a +5 bonus on the check.
Acquainted with Aslynn: The entity known as Aslynn knows who you are and what you did in the Forae Logos. Whether this is to your advantage or detriment is as yet unknown.
Impossible Feat: [] The extraordinary actions possible within a dream might not be possible while awake, but you nonetheless dream of performing a similarly spectacular deed. You may cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet before attempting a skill check, saving throw, or attack roll to add 1d6 to the result of your check. If you roll a 6, roll the six-sided die again and combine the results. You may repeat this process up to twice for a maximum additional bonus of +18.
Charted Pillars: You can borrow a copy of Venture-Captain Norden Balentiir’s map of the Pillars of the Sun while traveling to that region. The map is imperfect, but it provides enough sufficient information about safe routes through the mountains that you gain a +2 bonus on Knowledge (geography) and Survival checks made when navigating the area.
Recruiter of Badru: You have convinced the soulbound construct Badru to contact Zarta Dralneen and consult for her Dark Archive. When you use Prestige Points to purchase make whole as a spellcasting service, Badru himself casts it at CL 12th. This boon may have other uses in future scenarios.
Relic Guardian: Your stewardship of historical treasures inspires you to act quickly to save such relics from destruction. Once per scenario, when an unattended object within your reach is targeted by an offensive spell, attack, or effect, you can treat that object as though it were in your possession for the purpose of attempting saving throws and resisting sunder attempts. If an opponent succeeds at a combat maneuver check to sunder an object in your possession, you can cross this boon of your Chronicle sheet to force the creature to reroll the attack with a –5 penalty.
* Boon Grants Permanent Bonus.

"I could conjure up some air bubbles to keep us breathing as well, if it comes to that. Can't say it makes sense to me that this pirate would damage ships he plans to loot with his 'sea monsters', but your caution is understandable Koryo.

He is garbed in finely wrought, though slightly worn, dark explorer's garb with plenty of pockets and pouches, some of which seem quite full. A pair of dagger hilts stick out of each of his well tailored leather boots and a smaller crossbow hangs from a hook at his waist, across from a pouch of bolts. In his hands is a well worn, black basalt staff that seems almost alive, twisting into random irregular geometric patterns. On several of his fingers are gleaming rings of gold, bronze and other hues. A finely wrought, slim silvery headband sits upon his brow.
Short, tapered wands are tucked into his waist sash and one small gemstone hovers about his head, spinning around it at a distance of roughly a foot.

Tusks: You gain the benefits above against magical beasts and humanoids with the orc subtype.
Duskwarden’s Favor: [] Your actions below Kaer Maga have impressed the Duskwardens, and these guides teach you some of their tricks for safely navigating dangerous caverns. You can cross this boon of your Chronicle sheet to gain the ranger favored terrain ability (+2) in underground environments for the remainder of the scenario. If you already have favored terrain in underground environments, add 2 to the bonuses that you gain in underground environments for the remainder of the scenario.
What Ambush? (Scout Mission): [][] Your experience in Gallowspire has sharpened your senses against
hidden foes. When you would fail a Perception check to act on the surprise round, you can check a box that
precedes this boon to act on the surprise round. You are still considered flat-footed until you take an action.
Alternatively, you can check a box to reroll an initiative check.
Unravel Magic (Spellcaster Mission): [][] You have friends who know their way around magic. Check the box that precedes this boon as a swift action. A Pathfinder ally briefly enters the fight and casts dispel magic, with a caster level equal to your character level. If your character level is at least 13 when you activate this boon, your ally can cast greater dispel magic instead.
Timely Delivery (Muscle Mission): [][] No matter where you travel, you can count on one of your Pathfinder allies to keep you ready. You can spend 1 minute and 2 PP and check the box that precedes this boon to gain an item costing 750 gp or less. Unlike a normal purchase made with PP, you do not need to be anywhere near a settlement to acquire the item.
Tactical Strike (Guard Mission): [] You can rally your allies to make a coordinated strike. Check the box
that precedes this boon as a swift action and select one opponent. Until the beginning of your next turn, you
and all of your allies deal an additional 1d8 points of damage on all attacks against that opponent. You are
considered to be flanking that opponent if at least two of your allies are threatening that foe, regardless of
your actual positioning.
Restorative Burst (Medic Mission): [] A spark of divine grace from your medic allies protects you. When
you would be reduced to less than 0 hit points, you can check the box that precedes this boon to automatically
trigger a burst of healing around your body. This heals you and all willing allies within 30 feet, as the channel
energy ability of a cleric of your level.
Necromantic Surge: [][][][] You can check a box that precedes this boon to strike foes with the Whispering
Tyrant’s magic, using one of the following spell-like abilities based on your level when you activate this boon.
Use your character level as your caster level, and use your Charisma modifier to determine the spell’s DC.
Levels 5–8: You can use a spell-like ability from the following list: bestow curse, command undead, enervation,
false life, fear, or vampiric touch.
Levels 9–12: Add eyebite, possession (Pathfinder RPG Occult Adventures 181), and waves of fatigue to the list of spell-like abilities you can use.
Levels 13–16: Add control undead, finger of death, and greater possession (Occult Adventures 181) to the list of spell-like abilities you can use. Check two boxes to use these spells.
Levels 17+: Add energy drain and wail of the banshee to the list of spell-like abilities you can use. Check two
boxes to use these spells.
Echoing Paradox: [] A trace of the magic of the Sanctum of Lost Ages clings to you, and against all odds and reason, a future or past version of you can appear to provide assistance in a time of need. Before you roll an attack roll, a skill check, or a saving throw, a copy of you appears either to flank with you or to grant you a +2 bonus as per the aid another action. If you have an ability that grants a higher bonus on aid another actions, you gain this as a bonus instead; the copy also shares all of your teamwork feats. After the attack, skill check, or save is resolved, the copy fades away, and you are shaken until the end of your next turn by the unsettling paradox of being at two places at once.
Aggressive Researcher: [] You have proven your mettle in Absalom’s greatest libraries, and in the course of your research, you uncovered many facts that were not immediately relevant but might one day prove useful. You can cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet before attempting a Knowledge (arcana, history, or planes) check in order to treat your final check result as if it were 25, even if you are not trained in the skill. Alternatively, you may instead gain a +5 bonus on the check.
Acquainted with Aslynn: The entity known as Aslynn knows who you are and what you did in the Forae Logos. Whether this is to your advantage or detriment is as yet unknown.
Impossible Feat: [] The extraordinary actions possible within a dream might not be possible while awake, but you nonetheless dream of performing a similarly spectacular deed. You may cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet before attempting a skill check, saving throw, or attack roll to add 1d6 to the result of your check. If you roll a 6, roll the six-sided die again and combine the results. You may repeat this process up to twice for a maximum additional bonus of +18.
Charted Pillars: You can borrow a copy of Venture-Captain Norden Balentiir’s map of the Pillars of the Sun while traveling to that region. The map is imperfect, but it provides enough sufficient information about safe routes through the mountains that you gain a +2 bonus on Knowledge (geography) and Survival checks made when navigating the area.
Recruiter of Badru: You have convinced the soulbound construct Badru to contact Zarta Dralneen and consult for her Dark Archive. When you use Prestige Points to purchase make whole as a spellcasting service, Badru himself casts it at CL 12th. This boon may have other uses in future scenarios.
Relic Guardian: Your stewardship of historical treasures inspires you to act quickly to save such relics from destruction. Once per scenario, when an unattended object within your reach is targeted by an offensive spell, attack, or effect, you can treat that object as though it were in your possession for the purpose of attempting saving throws and resisting sunder attempts. If an opponent succeeds at a combat maneuver check to sunder an object in your possession, you can cross this boon of your Chronicle sheet to force the creature to reroll the attack with a –5 penalty.

Sorithar can't help rolling his eyes.
"Based on the recklessness I've seen of some of our colleagues, under the right circumstances, quite easily I would venture.
Though in this case Phlegos doubtless had something to do with the matter."

He is garbed in finely wrought, though slightly worn, dark explorer's garb with plenty of pockets and pouches, some of which seem quite full. A pair of dagger hilts stick out of each of his well tailored leather boots and a smaller crossbow hangs from a hook at his waist, across from a pouch of bolts. In his hands is a well worn, black basalt staff that seems almost alive, twisting into random irregular geometric patterns. On several of his fingers are gleaming rings of gold, bronze and other hues. A finely wrought, slim silvery headband sits upon his brow.
Short, tapered wands are tucked into his waist sash and one small gemstone hovers about his head, spinning around it at a distance of roughly a foot.

Within Chronicle: letter of introduction
* Timelost Chronicler: You have journeyed through the ancient serpentfolk city of Sessegishoss and witnessed the fall of the Starstone, granting you a remarkable perspective of Golarion’s history. You gain a permanent +1 bonus on Knowledge (history) checks from your first-hand knowledge. Once per scenario you may call on the nascent power granted by your exposure to the falling Starstone to find inner greatness, granting you a +1 morale bonus to a single d20 roll. You must declare your use of this power before the roll is made.
Gloomspire Explorer []: Despite having studied only a small portion of Sevenfingers’s tomb, you are now one of the Society’s foremost authorities on the enigmatic Gloomspires. While adventuring in the Gloomspires, you receive a +2 bonus on all Perception checks made to find hidden objects such as traps, treasure, and secret doors. If you check the box included with this boon, you gain the benefits of this boon for the duration of one scenario set anywhere other than the Gloomspires.
Debt of Cyphers: You rescued ex-Pathfinder and Cyphergate scholar Hirako Gurukaza from the hands of pirate kidnappers. In thanks, he has spread your name among the Order of the Cyphers. When in Riddleport, you gain a +2 bonus on Knowledge (arcana) and Linguistics checks when you consult Gurukaza before making the check. In addition, the Order's connection to some of Riddleport's more powerful criminal elements also provides you a future benefit in the form of a +2 bonus on Diplomacy checks made in the city to gather information.
* Riddleport Respect: Word of your defeat of pirate captain Alejia Netrav has spread throughout Riddleport, and you've earned the respect of the criminals and thugs that call the city home. When you flex your muscle, folks in the City of Cyphers pay attention. You receive a +2 bonus on Intimidate checks made in Riddleport as a result.
* You Rescued the Minotaur Prince: You rescued Nuar Spiritskin, the Minotaur Prince of Absalom and he is quite grateful that you have done so. Though he is absolutely unclear how he got into the Tangle in the first place, he pays this no mind and spreads the tale of your daring-do to his many contacts throughout the city. You gain a permanent +1 circumstance bonus to any Intelligence or Charisma-based checks made while in Absalom.
New Recruit (J. Dacilane) []: Your team of Pathfinders sponsored J. to join the Pathfinder Society. In exchange, she is eager to assist you on one of your future missions. You can direct J. to cast a spell from the spiritualist list (Pathfinder RPG Occult Adventures 76) as a standard action. The spell’s level can be up to one third of your character level (minimum 0). J.’s caster level is equal to your character level – 3 (minimum 2), and her Wisdom score is 17. J. is a noncombatant, and she is considered to be in your square for the purpose of determining the origin of her spell. When you use this boon, cross it off your Chronicle Sheet.
Ally of the Green [][][]: You have communed with the fugitive leshys of Anglemire and demonstrated your respect for their humble treasures. As a parting gift, the leshy Harvest Stripe gave you three gourd seeds imbued with some of the leshys' primal magic. As a standard action, you can check one of the boxes that precede this boon and consume one of these seeds as if it were a goodberry, though the seed heals 1d4+1 points of damage. Alternatively, you can feed a seed to an adjacent plant creature to grant it 5 temporary hit points and the benefits of divine favour (CL 6th) for 1 minute. When you check the last box, cross the entire boon off your Chronicle sheet.
* Archaeological Expert []: The Pathfinder Society has a strong tradition of archaeological exploration, and you have proven yourself a capable excavator and historian. You gain a +1 bonus to Appraise and Knowledge (history) checks to identify the cultural significance of art and objects. If you would fulfill the primary success conditions of an adventure but fail its secondary success conditions, you can cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet and attempt an Apprise, Knowledge (history), or Profession (archaeologist) check (DC = 10 + 2*character level). If you succeed, you make a small but significant archaeological discovery that allows you, and only you, to earn the Prestige Point reward anyway. You cannot Take 10 on this check.
Imperium Initiate []: Your study of Jistkan ruins and golems has taught you a few tricks for handling the supernatural soldiers of ancient Garund. You can cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet before casting a spell to make it especially effective against constructs and divs. Those creatures take a -2 penalty on all saving throws made against the spell for 1 round. Alternatively, you can cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet as a free action to treat hardness and damage reduction of all constructs and divs as 5 lower against your attacks for 1 round.
* Delvehaven Star []: You were an integral part of the Pathfinder Society’s first sanctioned expeditions in Cheliax in many years. In recognition of your role in this important milestone, the Society has imprinted your wayfinder with the Delvehaven Star—named in honor of a famous Chelish Pathfinder lodge. You gain a +2 bonus on Knowledge (history, local, and nobility) checks associated with Cheliax, and you gain a +1 bonus to your initiative while adventuring in Cheliax. Furthermore, you can check the box that precedes this boon when spending Prestige Points for spellcasting services to reduce the cost by 2 (minimum 0).
* Eye for Traitors (Dark Archive faction) []: You gain a permanent +2 bonus on Sense Motive checks to tell if someone is lying and on Will saves against illusions. You can cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet in order to re-roll a failed saving throw against an illusion effect and take the second result.
Precious Vindication []: At last! You have uncovered vital data that proves that you made the right choice under pressure, even if the common perception was that you had failed. Select one Pathfinder Society Scenario for which you earned less than the maximum number of Prestige Points. Increase the Prestige Points and Fame earned by 1 (or 0.5 if using the slow advancement track), up to the scenario’s maximum. Record the additional Prestige Points on that character’s next Chronicle sheet as well as below.
* Elemental Conquest: [] You have fought and fraternized with the guardians of Aucturn’s Tear, and although you triumphed, it is clear that this is not the last time you’ll clash with elemental forces. Choose one of the benefits below, and cross the other two off your Chronicle sheet. You may select an option only so long as you successfully completed at least one encounter in a region with that elemental affinity during this adventure.
Fire: You gain a +1 insight bonus on saving throws against spells, spell-like abilities, and effects of creatures with the fire subtype and against spells with the fire descriptor.
While adventuring on the Plane of Fire, you instead gain a +1 insight bonus on all saving throws.
As a swift action, you can check the box that precedes this boon in order to grant one weapon you wield the flaming weapon special ability for 1 minute; if the weapon already has the flaming special ability, it instead gains flaming burst for 1 minute.
Ranginori’s Debt: [][] You helped recover the Untouchable Opal, within which Ranginori, Elemental Lord of Air, is trapped. While imprisoned, his power is limited. Nonetheless, he has granted you an initial gift with the promise of greater rewards should the Society free him. You can activate this boon as a standard action by checking one of the boxes that precedes it, gaining one of the benefits based on your level when you activate the boon. For any spell-like ability, use your character level as your caster level.
Any Level: You can recall a spell slot or prepared spell you already cast that day. The spell is prepared again or the spell slot is available for use again, as if it had not been used already.
Levels 1–4: You cast cat’s grace, cure moderate wounds, lesser restoration, or shocking grasp as a spell-like ability.
Levels 5–8: Add cure serious wounds, fly, and lightning bolt to the list of spell-like abilities you can use.
Level 9–11: Add call lightning storm and cure critical wounds to the list of spell-like abilities you can use.
Level 12+: Add heal and whirlwind to the list of spell-like abilities you can use, though both of these spell-like abilities requires you to check both boxes.
Tome of First Contact [X][][][][]: You have recovered a strange tome that details utterly bizarre creatures rarely seen on your world. After rolling a Knowledge check to identify an aberration, ooze, or outsider (or a creature that is not native to Golarion) and learning the results, you can check one or more boxes that precede this boon. For each box you check, you can learn one additional piece of information, as if your Knowledge check result had been 5 higher. If you did not succeed at the Knowledge check in the first place, you can check one box to succeed at the Knowledge check to learn one piece of information plus the creature’s name, type, and subtypes.
Once you check the last box, you’ve expended the tome’s greatest secrets. It remains a curious keepsake.
Ectoplasmic Enhancement []: You recovered a sample of concentrated ectoplasm from the Gloomspires. You may activate this ectoplasm as a swift action to treat all of your natural attacks, unarmed strikes, and weapon attacks as if they had the ghost touch property for 1 round. If you have at least one level in the spiritualist class, the ghost touch property persists for 3 rounds and also affects her phantom’s natural attacks. When you use this boon, cross it off your Chronicle sheet.
Aid of the Overwatched [][]: You returned Ralzeros the Overwatched to Golarion and convinced him to lend his aid to the Dark Archive. In thanks for your help, Ralzeros convinces his familiar Daosvaria to send a piece of her essence and knowledge to assist you.
Instead of taking Daosvaria as a familiar, you can call her forth to share fragments of Ralzeros’s knowledge. Check a box that precedes this boon to roll a single Knowledge check using a bonus of 5 plus your character level in place of your typical bonus. If your own bonus is higher, you may instead gain a +2 bonus on the Knowledge check.
If you use this benefit, cross the option to take Daosvaria as a familiar off your Chronicle sheet.
Blessing of Nivi [X][X][][]: Your efforts on behalf of Kalsgard’s gnome population have drawn the attention, and blessing of the gnome goddess Nivi Rhombodazzle. This boon has different effects depending on your race. If you are a non-gnome, you may check a box next to this boon to cast blur as a swift action, with a caster level equal to your total character level. Once you have checked all the boxes next to this boon, you gain Gnome as a bonus language; this has no further effect for characters who already speak Gnome.
Gnomes of the North [][][]: You have befriended the gnomes of Kalsgard and found a home away from home at the Hall of Seven Wagers. You can check a box next to this boon to use either Bluff, Knowledge (local), or Sleight of Hand to make your Day Job check at the end of an adventure, doubling the amount of gold normally received for the result of your check. If you already have the ability to use one of these skills to make a Day Job check, checking a box instead grants you a +2 bonus on such a check, in addition to doubling the gold received as normal. This boon’s doubling effect does not stack with other benefits that would multiply the result of your Day Job check.)
Ghalcor’s Spellcraft: Following the battle at Ghalcor’s Tower, you were able to study the dead cleric’s notes and discovered that he also developed a handful of powerful spells. Now the Pathfinder Society and the Mendevian Crusade can wield these in the fight against the Worldwound. So long as you possess this boon, all of your Pathfinder Society Organized Play characters have access to the following spells from Pathfinder Player Companion: Demon Hunter’s Handbook as if they appeared on the Additional Resources page: burst with light, detect demon, and righteous blood.
Mendevian Commendation: You have received a medal for your service to Mendev and the Fifth Crusade. For every Mendevian Commendation you have, you gain a cumulative +1 bonus on Charisma-based skill and ability checks made to influence crusaders of Mendev (maximum +3).
Elixir of Renewal: [][] You gain a special elixir that you can consume as if it were a potion in order to restore 2d8+5 hit points as well as 1d4 points of one type of ability damage. You can use the potion only once, even if the user is under the effects of alchemical allocation (Pathfnder RPG Advanced Player’s Guide 201) or a similar effect that would allow one to benefit from a potion multiple times. Check the box that precedes this boon when you use this elixir.
[STRIKE]Righteous Redemption: [X] Thanks to your work bringing a lost hero’s legacy to light, key leaders in the crusader nation of Lastwall have begun seeing Pathfnders less as ruffians and more as potential allies. Between adventures or while in Lastwall, you can check the box that precedes this boon to requisition one of the following: a satchel containing six flasks of holy water and an oil of bless weapon; two scrolls of lesser restoration; a combat-trained warhorse (heavy or light) with a military saddle, bit, bridle, and week of feed; a masterwork longsword; or a masterwork lance. This gear is yours to do with as you please, but it has an effective resale value of 0 gp.[/STRIKE]
Worthy Foe: [][][] Lastwall is the Inner Sea’s bulwark against countless evils, and you have proven yourself against a local villain. As a swift action, you can check a box that precedes this boon to gain one of two benefits against enemies that correspond to the threat you defeated. First, you can choose to gain a +2 bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls against such creatures, as well as a +2 dodge bonus to AC against such creatures’ attacks.
Alternatively, you can gain a +2 bonus on caster level checks to overcome those creatures’ spell resistance, increase the save DC of your spells and abilities against those creatures by 1, and gain a +2 bonus on saving throws against those creatures’ spells and abilities. Either benefit lasts until the beginning of your next turn.
Tusks: You gain the benefits above against magical beasts and humanoids with the orc subtype.
Duskwarden’s Favor: [] Your actions below Kaer Maga have impressed the Duskwardens, and these guides teach you some of their tricks for safely navigating dangerous caverns. You can cross this boon of your Chronicle sheet to gain the ranger favored terrain ability (+2) in underground environments for the remainder of the scenario. If you already have favored terrain in underground environments, add 2 to the bonuses that you gain in underground environments for the remainder of the scenario.
What Ambush? (Scout Mission): [][] Your experience in Gallowspire has sharpened your senses against
hidden foes. When you would fail a Perception check to act on the surprise round, you can check a box that
precedes this boon to act on the surprise round. You are still considered flat-footed until you take an action.
Alternatively, you can check a box to reroll an initiative check.
Unravel Magic (Spellcaster Mission): [][] You have friends who know their way around magic. Check the box that precedes this boon as a swift action. A Pathfinder ally briefly enters the fight and casts dispel magic, with a caster level equal to your character level. If your character level is at least 13 when you activate this boon, your ally can cast greater dispel magic instead.
Timely Delivery (Muscle Mission): [][] No matter where you travel, you can count on one of your Pathfinder allies to keep you ready. You can spend 1 minute and 2 PP and check the box that precedes this boon to gain an item costing 750 gp or less. Unlike a normal purchase made with PP, you do not need to be anywhere near a settlement to acquire the item.
Tactical Strike (Guard Mission): [] You can rally your allies to make a coordinated strike. Check the box
that precedes this boon as a swift action and select one opponent. Until the beginning of your next turn, you
and all of your allies deal an additional 1d8 points of damage on all attacks against that opponent. You are
considered to be flanking that opponent if at least two of your allies are threatening that foe, regardless of
your actual positioning.
Restorative Burst (Medic Mission): [] A spark of divine grace from your medic allies protects you. When
you would be reduced to less than 0 hit points, you can check the box that precedes this boon to automatically
trigger a burst of healing around your body. This heals you and all willing allies within 30 feet, as the channel
energy ability of a cleric of your level.
Necromantic Surge: [][][][] You can check a box that precedes this boon to strike foes with the Whispering
Tyrant’s magic, using one of the following spell-like abilities based on your level when you activate this boon.
Use your character level as your caster level, and use your Charisma modifier to determine the spell’s DC.
Levels 5–8: You can use a spell-like ability from the following list: bestow curse, command undead, enervation,
false life, fear, or vampiric touch.
Levels 9–12: Add eyebite, possession (Pathfinder RPG Occult Adventures 181), and waves of fatigue to the list of spell-like abilities you can use.
Levels 13–16: Add control undead, finger of death, and greater possession (Occult Adventures 181) to the list of spell-like abilities you can use. Check two boxes to use these spells.
Levels 17+: Add energy drain and wail of the banshee to the list of spell-like abilities you can use. Check two
boxes to use these spells.
Echoing Paradox: [] A trace of the magic of the Sanctum of Lost Ages clings to you, and against all odds and reason, a future or past version of you can appear to provide assistance in a time of need. Before you roll an attack roll, a skill check, or a saving throw, a copy of you appears either to flank with you or to grant you a +2 bonus as per the aid another action. If you have an ability that grants a higher bonus on aid another actions, you gain this as a bonus instead; the copy also shares all of your teamwork feats. After the attack, skill check, or save is resolved, the copy fades away, and you are shaken until the end of your next turn by the unsettling paradox of being at two places at once.
Aggressive Researcher: [] You have proven your mettle in Absalom’s greatest libraries, and in the course of your research, you uncovered many facts that were not immediately relevant but might one day prove useful. You can cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet before attempting a Knowledge (arcana, history, or planes) check in order to treat your final check result as if it were 25, even if you are not trained in the skill. Alternatively, you may instead gain a +5 bonus on the check.
Acquainted with Aslynn: The entity known as Aslynn knows who you are and what you did in the Forae Logos. Whether this is to your advantage or detriment is as yet unknown.
Impossible Feat: [] The extraordinary actions possible within a dream might not be possible while awake, but you nonetheless dream of performing a similarly spectacular deed. You may cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet before attempting a skill check, saving throw, or attack roll to add 1d6 to the result of your check. If you roll a 6, roll the six-sided die again and combine the results. You may repeat this process up to twice for a maximum additional bonus of +18.
Charted Pillars: You can borrow a copy of Venture-Captain Norden Balentiir’s map of the Pillars of the Sun while traveling to that region. The map is imperfect, but it provides enough sufficient information about safe routes through the mountains that you gain a +2 bonus on Knowledge (geography) and Survival checks made when navigating the area.
Recruiter of Badru: You have convinced the soulbound construct Badru to contact Zarta Dralneen and consult for her Dark Archive. When you use Prestige Points to purchase make whole as a spellcasting service, Badru himself casts it at CL 12th. This boon may have other uses in future scenarios.
Relic Guardian: Your stewardship of historical treasures inspires you to act quickly to save such relics from destruction. Once per scenario, when an unattended object within your reach is targeted by an offensive spell, attack, or effect, you can treat that object as though it were in your possession for the purpose of attempting saving throws and resisting sunder attempts.

The Pathfinder's leave the estate which is quiet despite the booming voice they all heard. It seems no one else did, such as the exotic birds in their cages still cooing happily.
The island sits to the southwest of mainland Qadira, almost due south from Okeno. It’s close to the Obari Trade Circle, a popular merchant route, but far enough to not be detected by patrols. The estate and nearby docks face the south side of the island, away from Okeno. Most vessels traveling near Okeno that spot the island are unable to see any signs of inhabitants unless they go out of their way.
If the party travels by ship, they arrive at the eastern edge of the island in 2 days.
On Jirandiel Waverider, someone may recall (or do their research) to learn she was once a captain in the Chelish navy. She turned pirate after a run-in with the Pathfinder Society.

That was surprisingly straightforward. Hopefully his intuition was right, that Corvius wouldn't come after them for this. Well, it was done, so no use worrying about it.
Before leaving Koryo does a bit of checking and asking around about this "Jirandiel Waverider" or goings-on about the island.
He also stops by the marketplace to pick up some things. Manacles for their prisoner, emergency supplies, a little more insurance... He had been saving up for something, but his new goggles by themselves already delayed that plan. Better to make it out of this mission than to have almost enough and be a slave, right?

Mykel mulls around the market area, picking up small pieces of gear and trying to find any information he can.

Sorithar suggests to Spica Capella that they might discuss the exchange of some spells, or mayhap even the purchase of new ones, but otherwise, after confirming a location to meet up, visits the markets with Koryo and Mykel, keeping his own council and inspecting the proffered wares.
He spends the good part of the sea journey once a vessel has been secured, standing on the deck and watching the ocean or cooped up in his cabin and studying.
Can locate glyphs of warding, symbol spells, and similar magical spell traps that use writing as if he were a rogue. He can use Perception or Knowledge (arcana) to notice such traps, and can use Disable Device or Spellcraft to disable these types of traps.

He is garbed in finely wrought, though slightly worn, dark explorer's garb with plenty of pockets and pouches, some of which seem quite full. A pair of dagger hilts stick out of each of his well tailored leather boots and a smaller crossbow hangs from a hook at his waist, across from a pouch of bolts. In his hands is a well worn, black basalt staff that seems almost alive, twisting into random irregular geometric patterns. On several of his fingers are gleaming rings of gold, bronze and other hues. A finely wrought, slim silvery headband sits upon his brow.
Short, tapered wands are tucked into his waist sash and one small gemstone hovers about his head, spinning around it at a distance of roughly a foot.

Within Chronicle: letter of introduction
* Timelost Chronicler: You have journeyed through the ancient serpentfolk city of Sessegishoss and witnessed the fall of the Starstone, granting you a remarkable perspective of Golarion’s history. You gain a permanent +1 bonus on Knowledge (history) checks from your first-hand knowledge. Once per scenario you may call on the nascent power granted by your exposure to the falling Starstone to find inner greatness, granting you a +1 morale bonus to a single d20 roll. You must declare your use of this power before the roll is made.
Gloomspire Explorer []: Despite having studied only a small portion of Sevenfingers’s tomb, you are now one of the Society’s foremost authorities on the enigmatic Gloomspires. While adventuring in the Gloomspires, you receive a +2 bonus on all Perception checks made to find hidden objects such as traps, treasure, and secret doors. If you check the box included with this boon, you gain the benefits of this boon for the duration of one scenario set anywhere other than the Gloomspires.
Debt of Cyphers: You rescued ex-Pathfinder and Cyphergate scholar Hirako Gurukaza from the hands of pirate kidnappers. In thanks, he has spread your name among the Order of the Cyphers. When in Riddleport, you gain a +2 bonus on Knowledge (arcana) and Linguistics checks when you consult Gurukaza before making the check. In addition, the Order's connection to some of Riddleport's more powerful criminal elements also provides you a future benefit in the form of a +2 bonus on Diplomacy checks made in the city to gather information.
* Riddleport Respect: Word of your defeat of pirate captain Alejia Netrav has spread throughout Riddleport, and you've earned the respect of the criminals and thugs that call the city home. When you flex your muscle, folks in the City of Cyphers pay attention. You receive a +2 bonus on Intimidate checks made in Riddleport as a result.
* You Rescued the Minotaur Prince: You rescued Nuar Spiritskin, the Minotaur Prince of Absalom and he is quite grateful that you have done so. Though he is absolutely unclear how he got into the Tangle in the first place, he pays this no mind and spreads the tale of your daring-do to his many contacts throughout the city. You gain a permanent +1 circumstance bonus to any Intelligence or Charisma-based checks made while in Absalom.
New Recruit (J. Dacilane) []: Your team of Pathfinders sponsored J. to join the Pathfinder Society. In exchange, she is eager to assist you on one of your future missions. You can direct J. to cast a spell from the spiritualist list (Pathfinder RPG Occult Adventures 76) as a standard action. The spell’s level can be up to one third of your character level (minimum 0). J.’s caster level is equal to your character level – 3 (minimum 2), and her Wisdom score is 17. J. is a noncombatant, and she is considered to be in your square for the purpose of determining the origin of her spell. When you use this boon, cross it off your Chronicle Sheet.
Ally of the Green [][][]: You have communed with the fugitive leshys of Anglemire and demonstrated your respect for their humble treasures. As a parting gift, the leshy Harvest Stripe gave you three gourd seeds imbued with some of the leshys' primal magic. As a standard action, you can check one of the boxes that precede this boon and consume one of these seeds as if it were a goodberry, though the seed heals 1d4+1 points of damage. Alternatively, you can feed a seed to an adjacent plant creature to grant it 5 temporary hit points and the benefits of divine favour (CL 6th) for 1 minute. When you check the last box, cross the entire boon off your Chronicle sheet.
* Archaeological Expert []: The Pathfinder Society has a strong tradition of archaeological exploration, and you have proven yourself a capable excavator and historian. You gain a +1 bonus to Appraise and Knowledge (history) checks to identify the cultural significance of art and objects. If you would fulfill the primary success conditions of an adventure but fail its secondary success conditions, you can cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet and attempt an Apprise, Knowledge (history), or Profession (archaeologist) check (DC = 10 + 2*character level). If you succeed, you make a small but significant archaeological discovery that allows you, and only you, to earn the Prestige Point reward anyway. You cannot Take 10 on this check.
Imperium Initiate []: Your study of Jistkan ruins and golems has taught you a few tricks for handling the supernatural soldiers of ancient Garund. You can cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet before casting a spell to make it especially effective against constructs and divs. Those creatures take a -2 penalty on all saving throws made against the spell for 1 round. Alternatively, you can cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet as a free action to treat hardness and damage reduction of all constructs and divs as 5 lower against your attacks for 1 round.
* Delvehaven Star []: You were an integral part of the Pathfinder Society’s first sanctioned expeditions in Cheliax in many years. In recognition of your role in this important milestone, the Society has imprinted your wayfinder with the Delvehaven Star—named in honor of a famous Chelish Pathfinder lodge. You gain a +2 bonus on Knowledge (history, local, and nobility) checks associated with Cheliax, and you gain a +1 bonus to your initiative while adventuring in Cheliax. Furthermore, you can check the box that precedes this boon when spending Prestige Points for spellcasting services to reduce the cost by 2 (minimum 0).
* Eye for Traitors (Dark Archive faction) []: You gain a permanent +2 bonus on Sense Motive checks to tell if someone is lying and on Will saves against illusions. You can cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet in order to re-roll a failed saving throw against an illusion effect and take the second result.
Precious Vindication []: At last! You have uncovered vital data that proves that you made the right choice under pressure, even if the common perception was that you had failed. Select one Pathfinder Society Scenario for which you earned less than the maximum number of Prestige Points. Increase the Prestige Points and Fame earned by 1 (or 0.5 if using the slow advancement track), up to the scenario’s maximum. Record the additional Prestige Points on that character’s next Chronicle sheet as well as below.
* Elemental Conquest: [] You have fought and fraternized with the guardians of Aucturn’s Tear, and although you triumphed, it is clear that this is not the last time you’ll clash with elemental forces. Choose one of the benefits below, and cross the other two off your Chronicle sheet. You may select an option only so long as you successfully completed at least one encounter in a region with that elemental affinity during this adventure.
Fire: You gain a +1 insight bonus on saving throws against spells, spell-like abilities, and effects of creatures with the fire subtype and against spells with the fire descriptor.
While adventuring on the Plane of Fire, you instead gain a +1 insight bonus on all saving throws.
As a swift action, you can check the box that precedes this boon in order to grant one weapon you wield the flaming weapon special ability for 1 minute; if the weapon already has the flaming special ability, it instead gains flaming burst for 1 minute.
Ranginori’s Debt: [][] You helped recover the Untouchable Opal, within which Ranginori, Elemental Lord of Air, is trapped. While imprisoned, his power is limited. Nonetheless, he has granted you an initial gift with the promise of greater rewards should the Society free him. You can activate this boon as a standard action by checking one of the boxes that precedes it, gaining one of the benefits based on your level when you activate the boon. For any spell-like ability, use your character level as your caster level.
Any Level: You can recall a spell slot or prepared spell you already cast that day. The spell is prepared again or the spell slot is available for use again, as if it had not been used already.
Levels 1–4: You cast cat’s grace, cure moderate wounds, lesser restoration, or shocking grasp as a spell-like ability.
Levels 5–8: Add cure serious wounds, fly, and lightning bolt to the list of spell-like abilities you can use.
Level 9–11: Add call lightning storm and cure critical wounds to the list of spell-like abilities you can use.
Level 12+: Add heal and whirlwind to the list of spell-like abilities you can use, though both of these spell-like abilities requires you to check both boxes.
Tome of First Contact [X][][][][]: You have recovered a strange tome that details utterly bizarre creatures rarely seen on your world. After rolling a Knowledge check to identify an aberration, ooze, or outsider (or a creature that is not native to Golarion) and learning the results, you can check one or more boxes that precede this boon. For each box you check, you can learn one additional piece of information, as if your Knowledge check result had been 5 higher. If you did not succeed at the Knowledge check in the first place, you can check one box to succeed at the Knowledge check to learn one piece of information plus the creature’s name, type, and subtypes.
Once you check the last box, you’ve expended the tome’s greatest secrets. It remains a curious keepsake.
Ectoplasmic Enhancement []: You recovered a sample of concentrated ectoplasm from the Gloomspires. You may activate this ectoplasm as a swift action to treat all of your natural attacks, unarmed strikes, and weapon attacks as if they had the ghost touch property for 1 round. If you have at least one level in the spiritualist class, the ghost touch property persists for 3 rounds and also affects her phantom’s natural attacks. When you use this boon, cross it off your Chronicle sheet.
Aid of the Overwatched [][]: You returned Ralzeros the Overwatched to Golarion and convinced him to lend his aid to the Dark Archive. In thanks for your help, Ralzeros convinces his familiar Daosvaria to send a piece of her essence and knowledge to assist you.
Instead of taking Daosvaria as a familiar, you can call her forth to share fragments of Ralzeros’s knowledge. Check a box that precedes this boon to roll a single Knowledge check using a bonus of 5 plus your character level in place of your typical bonus. If your own bonus is higher, you may instead gain a +2 bonus on the Knowledge check.
If you use this benefit, cross the option to take Daosvaria as a familiar off your Chronicle sheet.
Blessing of Nivi [X][X][][]: Your efforts on behalf of Kalsgard’s gnome population have drawn the attention, and blessing of the gnome goddess Nivi Rhombodazzle. This boon has different effects depending on your race. If you are a non-gnome, you may check a box next to this boon to cast blur as a swift action, with a caster level equal to your total character level. Once you have checked all the boxes next to this boon, you gain Gnome as a bonus language; this has no further effect for characters who already speak Gnome.
Gnomes of the North [][][]: You have befriended the gnomes of Kalsgard and found a home away from home at the Hall of Seven Wagers. You can check a box next to this boon to use either Bluff, Knowledge (local), or Sleight of Hand to make your Day Job check at the end of an adventure, doubling the amount of gold normally received for the result of your check. If you already have the ability to use one of these skills to make a Day Job check, checking a box instead grants you a +2 bonus on such a check, in addition to doubling the gold received as normal. This boon’s doubling effect does not stack with other benefits that would multiply the result of your Day Job check.)
Ghalcor’s Spellcraft: Following the battle at Ghalcor’s Tower, you were able to study the dead cleric’s notes and discovered that he also developed a handful of powerful spells. Now the Pathfinder Society and the Mendevian Crusade can wield these in the fight against the Worldwound. So long as you possess this boon, all of your Pathfinder Society Organized Play characters have access to the following spells from Pathfinder Player Companion: Demon Hunter’s Handbook as if they appeared on the Additional Resources page: burst with light, detect demon, and righteous blood.
Mendevian Commendation: You have received a medal for your service to Mendev and the Fifth Crusade. For every Mendevian Commendation you have, you gain a cumulative +1 bonus on Charisma-based skill and ability checks made to influence crusaders of Mendev (maximum +3).
Elixir of Renewal: [][] You gain a special elixir that you can consume as if it were a potion in order to restore 2d8+5 hit points as well as 1d4 points of one type of ability damage. You can use the potion only once, even if the user is under the effects of alchemical allocation (Pathfnder RPG Advanced Player’s Guide 201) or a similar effect that would allow one to benefit from a potion multiple times. Check the box that precedes this boon when you use this elixir.
[STRIKE]Righteous Redemption: [X] Thanks to your work bringing a lost hero’s legacy to light, key leaders in the crusader nation of Lastwall have begun seeing Pathfnders less as ruffians and more as potential allies. Between adventures or while in Lastwall, you can check the box that precedes this boon to requisition one of the following: a satchel containing six flasks of holy water and an oil of bless weapon; two scrolls of lesser restoration; a combat-trained warhorse (heavy or light) with a military saddle, bit, bridle, and week of feed; a masterwork longsword; or a masterwork lance. This gear is yours to do with as you please, but it has an effective resale value of 0 gp.[/STRIKE]
Worthy Foe: [][][] Lastwall is the Inner Sea’s bulwark against countless evils, and you have proven yourself against a local villain. As a swift action, you can check a box that precedes this boon to gain one of two benefits against enemies that correspond to the threat you defeated. First, you can choose to gain a +2 bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls against such creatures, as well as a +2 dodge bonus to AC against such creatures’ attacks.
Alternatively, you can gain a +2 bonus on caster level checks to overcome those creatures’ spell resistance, increase the save DC of your spells and abilities against those creatures by 1, and gain a +2 bonus on saving throws against those creatures’ spells and abilities. Either benefit lasts until the beginning of your next turn.
Tusks: You gain the benefits above against magical beasts and humanoids with the orc subtype.
Duskwarden’s Favor: [] Your actions below Kaer Maga have impressed the Duskwardens, and these guides teach you some of their tricks for safely navigating dangerous caverns. You can cross this boon of your Chronicle sheet to gain the ranger favored terrain ability (+2) in underground environments for the remainder of the scenario. If you already have favored terrain in underground environments, add 2 to the bonuses that you gain in underground environments for the remainder of the scenario.
What Ambush? (Scout Mission): [][] Your experience in Gallowspire has sharpened your senses against
hidden foes. When you would fail a Perception check to act on the surprise round, you can check a box that
precedes this boon to act on the surprise round. You are still considered flat-footed until you take an action.
Alternatively, you can check a box to reroll an initiative check.
Unravel Magic (Spellcaster Mission): [][] You have friends who know their way around magic. Check the box that precedes this boon as a swift action. A Pathfinder ally briefly enters the fight and casts dispel magic, with a caster level equal to your character level. If your character level is at least 13 when you activate this boon, your ally can cast greater dispel magic instead.
Timely Delivery (Muscle Mission): [][] No matter where you travel, you can count on one of your Pathfinder allies to keep you ready. You can spend 1 minute and 2 PP and check the box that precedes this boon to gain an item costing 750 gp or less. Unlike a normal purchase made with PP, you do not need to be anywhere near a settlement to acquire the item.
Tactical Strike (Guard Mission): [] You can rally your allies to make a coordinated strike. Check the box
that precedes this boon as a swift action and select one opponent. Until the beginning of your next turn, you
and all of your allies deal an additional 1d8 points of damage on all attacks against that opponent. You are
considered to be flanking that opponent if at least two of your allies are threatening that foe, regardless of
your actual positioning.
Restorative Burst (Medic Mission): [] A spark of divine grace from your medic allies protects you. When
you would be reduced to less than 0 hit points, you can check the box that precedes this boon to automatically
trigger a burst of healing around your body. This heals you and all willing allies within 30 feet, as the channel
energy ability of a cleric of your level.
Necromantic Surge: [][][][] You can check a box that precedes this boon to strike foes with the Whispering
Tyrant’s magic, using one of the following spell-like abilities based on your level when you activate this boon.
Use your character level as your caster level, and use your Charisma modifier to determine the spell’s DC.
Levels 5–8: You can use a spell-like ability from the following list: bestow curse, command undead, enervation,
false life, fear, or vampiric touch.
Levels 9–12: Add eyebite, possession (Pathfinder RPG Occult Adventures 181), and waves of fatigue to the list of spell-like abilities you can use.
Levels 13–16: Add control undead, finger of death, and greater possession (Occult Adventures 181) to the list of spell-like abilities you can use. Check two boxes to use these spells.
Levels 17+: Add energy drain and wail of the banshee to the list of spell-like abilities you can use. Check two
boxes to use these spells.
Echoing Paradox: [] A trace of the magic of the Sanctum of Lost Ages clings to you, and against all odds and reason, a future or past version of you can appear to provide assistance in a time of need. Before you roll an attack roll, a skill check, or a saving throw, a copy of you appears either to flank with you or to grant you a +2 bonus as per the aid another action. If you have an ability that grants a higher bonus on aid another actions, you gain this as a bonus instead; the copy also shares all of your teamwork feats. After the attack, skill check, or save is resolved, the copy fades away, and you are shaken until the end of your next turn by the unsettling paradox of being at two places at once.
Aggressive Researcher: [] You have proven your mettle in Absalom’s greatest libraries, and in the course of your research, you uncovered many facts that were not immediately relevant but might one day prove useful. You can cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet before attempting a Knowledge (arcana, history, or planes) check in order to treat your final check result as if it were 25, even if you are not trained in the skill. Alternatively, you may instead gain a +5 bonus on the check.
Acquainted with Aslynn: The entity known as Aslynn knows who you are and what you did in the Forae Logos. Whether this is to your advantage or detriment is as yet unknown.
Impossible Feat: [] The extraordinary actions possible within a dream might not be possible while awake, but you nonetheless dream of performing a similarly spectacular deed. You may cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet before attempting a skill check, saving throw, or attack roll to add 1d6 to the result of your check. If you roll a 6, roll the six-sided die again and combine the results. You may repeat this process up to twice for a maximum additional bonus of +18.
Charted Pillars: You can borrow a copy of Venture-Captain Norden Balentiir’s map of the Pillars of the Sun while traveling to that region. The map is imperfect, but it provides enough sufficient information about safe routes through the mountains that you gain a +2 bonus on Knowledge (geography) and Survival checks made when navigating the area.
Recruiter of Badru: You have convinced the soulbound construct Badru to contact Zarta Dralneen and consult for her Dark Archive. When you use Prestige Points to purchase make whole as a spellcasting service, Badru himself casts it at CL 12th. This boon may have other uses in future scenarios.
Relic Guardian: Your stewardship of historical treasures inspires you to act quickly to save such relics from destruction. Once per scenario, when an unattended object within your reach is targeted by an offensive spell, attack, or effect, you can treat that object as though it were in your possession for the purpose of attempting saving throws and resisting sunder attempts. If an opponent succeeds at a combat maneuver check to sunder an object in your possession, you can cross this boon of your Chronicle sheet to force the creature to reroll the attack with a –5 penalty.
* Boon Grants Permanent Bonus.

Precious Vindication []: At last! You have uncovered vital data that proves that you made the right choice under pressure, even if the common perception was that you had failed. Select one Pathfinder Society Scenario for which you earned less than the maximum number of Prestige Points. Increase the Prestige Points and Fame earned by 1 (or 0.5 if using the slow advancement track), up to the scenario’s maximum. Record the additional Prestige Points on that character’s next Chronicle sheet as well as below.
* Elemental Conquest: [] You have fought and fraternized with the guardians of Aucturn’s Tear, and although you triumphed, it is clear that this is not the last time you’ll clash with elemental forces. Choose one of the benefits below, and cross the other two off your Chronicle sheet. You may select an option only so long as you successfully completed at least one encounter in a region with that elemental affinity during this adventure.
Fire: You gain a +1 insight bonus on saving throws against spells, spell-like abilities, and effects of creatures with the fire subtype and against spells with the fire descriptor.
While adventuring on the Plane of Fire, you instead gain a +1 insight bonus on all saving throws.
As a swift action, you can check the box that precedes this boon in order to grant one weapon you wield the flaming weapon special ability for 1 minute; if the weapon already has the flaming special ability, it instead gains flaming burst for 1 minute.
Ranginori’s Debt: [][] You helped recover the Untouchable Opal, within which Ranginori, Elemental Lord of Air, is trapped. While imprisoned, his power is limited. Nonetheless, he has granted you an initial gift with the promise of greater rewards should the Society free him. You can activate this boon as a standard action by checking one of the boxes that precedes it, gaining one of the benefits based on your level when you activate the boon. For any spell-like ability, use your character level as your caster level.
Any Level: You can recall a spell slot or prepared spell you already cast that day. The spell is prepared again or the spell slot is available for use again, as if it had not been used already.
Levels 1–4: You cast cat’s grace, cure moderate wounds, lesser restoration, or shocking grasp as a spell-like ability.
Levels 5–8: Add cure serious wounds, fly, and lightning bolt to the list of spell-like abilities you can use.
Level 9–11: Add call lightning storm and cure critical wounds to the list of spell-like abilities you can use.
Level 12+: Add heal and whirlwind to the list of spell-like abilities you can use, though both of these spell-like abilities requires you to check both boxes.
Tome of First Contact [X][][][][]: You have recovered a strange tome that details utterly bizarre creatures rarely seen on your world. After rolling a Knowledge check to identify an aberration, ooze, or outsider (or a creature that is not native to Golarion) and learning the results, you can check one or more boxes that precede this boon. For each box you check, you can learn one additional piece of information, as if your Knowledge check result had been 5 higher. If you did not succeed at the Knowledge check in the first place, you can check one box to succeed at the Knowledge check to learn one piece of information plus the creature’s name, type, and subtypes.
Once you check the last box, you’ve expended the tome’s greatest secrets. It remains a curious keepsake.
Ectoplasmic Enhancement []: You recovered a sample of concentrated ectoplasm from the Gloomspires. You may activate this ectoplasm as a swift action to treat all of your natural attacks, unarmed strikes, and weapon attacks as if they had the ghost touch property for 1 round. If you have at least one level in the spiritualist class, the ghost touch property persists for 3 rounds and also affects her phantom’s natural attacks. When you use this boon, cross it off your Chronicle sheet.
Aid of the Overwatched [][]: You returned Ralzeros the Overwatched to Golarion and convinced him to lend his aid to the Dark Archive. In thanks for your help, Ralzeros convinces his familiar Daosvaria to send a piece of her essence and knowledge to assist you.
Instead of taking Daosvaria as a familiar, you can call her forth to share fragments of Ralzeros’s knowledge. Check a box that precedes this boon to roll a single Knowledge check using a bonus of 5 plus your character level in place of your typical bonus. If your own bonus is higher, you may instead gain a +2 bonus on the Knowledge check.
If you use this benefit, cross the option to take Daosvaria as a familiar off your Chronicle sheet.
Blessing of Nivi [X][X][][]: Your efforts on behalf of Kalsgard’s gnome population have drawn the attention, and blessing of the gnome goddess Nivi Rhombodazzle. This boon has different effects depending on your race. If you are a non-gnome, you may check a box next to this boon to cast blur as a swift action, with a caster level equal to your total character level. Once you have checked all the boxes next to this boon, you gain Gnome as a bonus language; this has no further effect for characters who already speak Gnome.
Gnomes of the North [][][]: You have befriended the gnomes of Kalsgard and found a home away from home at the Hall of Seven Wagers. You can check a box next to this boon to use either Bluff, Knowledge (local), or Sleight of Hand to make your Day Job check at the end of an adventure, doubling the amount of gold normally received for the result of your check. If you already have the ability to use one of these skills to make a Day Job check, checking a box instead grants you a +2 bonus on such a check, in addition to doubling the gold received as normal. This boon’s doubling effect does not stack with other benefits that would multiply the result of your Day Job check.)
Ghalcor’s Spellcraft: Following the battle at Ghalcor’s Tower, you were able to study the dead cleric’s notes and discovered that he also developed a handful of powerful spells. Now the Pathfinder Society and the Mendevian Crusade can wield these in the fight against the Worldwound. So long as you possess this boon, all of your Pathfinder Society Organized Play characters have access to the following spells from Pathfinder Player Companion: Demon Hunter’s Handbook as if they appeared on the Additional Resources page: burst with light, detect demon, and righteous blood.
Mendevian Commendation: You have received a medal for your service to Mendev and the Fifth Crusade. For every Mendevian Commendation you have, you gain a cumulative +1 bonus on Charisma-based skill and ability checks made to influence crusaders of Mendev (maximum +3).
Elixir of Renewal: [][] You gain a special elixir that you can consume as if it were a potion in order to restore 2d8+5 hit points as well as 1d4 points of one type of ability damage. You can use the potion only once, even if the user is under the effects of alchemical allocation (Pathfnder RPG Advanced Player’s Guide 201) or a similar effect that would allow one to benefit from a potion multiple times. Check the box that precedes this boon when you use this elixir.
[STRIKE]Righteous Redemption: [X] Thanks to your work bringing a lost hero’s legacy to light, key leaders in the crusader nation of Lastwall have begun seeing Pathfnders less as ruffians and more as potential allies. Between adventures or while in Lastwall, you can check the box that precedes this boon to requisition one of the following: a satchel containing six flasks of holy water and an oil of bless weapon; two scrolls of lesser restoration; a combat-trained warhorse (heavy or light) with a military saddle, bit, bridle, and week of feed; a masterwork longsword; or a masterwork lance. This gear is yours to do with as you please, but it has an effective resale value of 0 gp.[/STRIKE]
Worthy Foe: [][][] Lastwall is the Inner Sea’s bulwark against countless evils, and you have proven yourself against a local villain. As a swift action, you can check a box that precedes this boon to gain one of two benefits against enemies that correspond to the threat you defeated. First, you can choose to gain a +2 bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls against such creatures, as well as a +2 dodge bonus to AC against such creatures’ attacks.
Alternatively, you can gain a +2 bonus on caster level checks to overcome those creatures’ spell resistance, increase the save DC of your spells and abilities against those creatures by 1, and gain a +2 bonus on saving throws against those creatures’ spells and abilities. Either benefit lasts until the beginning of your next turn.
Tusks: You gain the benefits above against magical beasts and humanoids with the orc subtype.
Duskwarden’s Favor: [] Your actions below Kaer Maga have impressed the Duskwardens, and these guides teach you some of their tricks for safely navigating dangerous caverns. You can cross this boon of your Chronicle sheet to gain the ranger favored terrain ability (+2) in underground environments for the remainder of the scenario. If you already have favored terrain in underground environments, add 2 to the bonuses that you gain in underground environments for the remainder of the scenario.
What Ambush? (Scout Mission): [][] Your experience in Gallowspire has sharpened your senses against
hidden foes. When you would fail a Perception check to act on the surprise round, you can check a box that
precedes this boon to act on the surprise round. You are still considered flat-footed until you take an action.
Alternatively, you can check a box to reroll an initiative check.
Unravel Magic (Spellcaster Mission): [][] You have friends who know their way around magic. Check the box that precedes this boon as a swift action. A Pathfinder ally briefly enters the fight and casts dispel magic, with a caster level equal to your character level. If your character level is at least 13 when you activate this boon, your ally can cast greater dispel magic instead.
Timely Delivery (Muscle Mission): [][] No matter where you travel, you can count on one of your Pathfinder allies to keep you ready. You can spend 1 minute and 2 PP and check the box that precedes this boon to gain an item costing 750 gp or less. Unlike a normal purchase made with PP, you do not need to be anywhere near a settlement to acquire the item.
Tactical Strike (Guard Mission): [] You can rally your allies to make a coordinated strike. Check the box
that precedes this boon as a swift action and select one opponent. Until the beginning of your next turn, you
and all of your allies deal an additional 1d8 points of damage on all attacks against that opponent. You are
considered to be flanking that opponent if at least two of your allies are threatening that foe, regardless of
your actual positioning.
Restorative Burst (Medic Mission): [] A spark of divine grace from your medic allies protects you. When
you would be reduced to less than 0 hit points, you can check the box that precedes this boon to automatically
trigger a burst of healing around your body. This heals you and all willing allies within 30 feet, as the channel
energy ability of a cleric of your level.
Necromantic Surge: [][][][] You can check a box that precedes this boon to strike foes with the Whispering
Tyrant’s magic, using one of the following spell-like abilities based on your level when you activate this boon.
Use your character level as your caster level, and use your Charisma modifier to determine the spell’s DC.
Levels 5–8: You can use a spell-like ability from the following list: bestow curse, command undead, enervation,
false life, fear, or vampiric touch.
Levels 9–12: Add eyebite, possession (Pathfinder RPG Occult Adventures 181), and waves of fatigue to the list of spell-like abilities you can use.
Levels 13–16: Add control undead, finger of death, and greater possession (Occult Adventures 181) to the list of spell-like abilities you can use. Check two boxes to use these spells.
Levels 17+: Add energy drain and wail of the banshee to the list of spell-like abilities you can use. Check two
boxes to use these spells.
Echoing Paradox: [] A trace of the magic of the Sanctum of Lost Ages clings to you, and against all odds and reason, a future or past version of you can appear to provide assistance in a time of need. Before you roll an attack roll, a skill check, or a saving throw, a copy of you appears either to flank with you or to grant you a +2 bonus as per the aid another action. If you have an ability that grants a higher bonus on aid another actions, you gain this as a bonus instead; the copy also shares all of your teamwork feats. After the attack, skill check, or save is resolved, the copy fades away, and you are shaken until the end of your next turn by the unsettling paradox of being at two places at once.
Aggressive Researcher: [] You have proven your mettle in Absalom’s greatest libraries, and in the course of your research, you uncovered many facts that were not immediately relevant but might one day prove useful. You can cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet before attempting a Knowledge (arcana, history, or planes) check in order to treat your final check result as if it were 25, even if you are not trained in the skill. Alternatively, you may instead gain a +5 bonus on the check.
Acquainted with Aslynn: The entity known as Aslynn knows who you are and what you did in the Forae Logos. Whether this is to your advantage or detriment is as yet unknown.
Impossible Feat: [] The extraordinary actions possible within a dream might not be possible while awake, but you nonetheless dream of performing a similarly spectacular deed. You may cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet before attempting a skill check, saving throw, or attack roll to add 1d6 to the result of your check. If you roll a 6, roll the six-sided die again and combine the results. You may repeat this process up to twice for a maximum additional bonus of +18.
Charted Pillars: You can borrow a copy of Venture-Captain Norden Balentiir’s map of the Pillars of the Sun while traveling to that region. The map is imperfect, but it provides enough sufficient information about safe routes through the mountains that you gain a +2 bonus on Knowledge (geography) and Survival checks made when navigating the area.
Recruiter of Badru: You have convinced the soulbound construct Badru to contact Zarta Dralneen and consult for her Dark Archive. When you use Prestige Points to purchase make whole as a spellcasting service, Badru himself casts it at CL 12th. This boon may have other uses in future scenarios.
Relic Guardian: Your stewardship of historical treasures inspires you to act quickly to save such relics from destruction. Once per scenario, when an unattended object within your reach is targeted by an offensive spell, attack, or effect, you can treat that object as though it were in your possession for the purpose of attempting saving throws and resisting sunder attempts. If an opponent succeeds at a combat maneuver check to sunder an object in your possession, you can cross this boon of your Chronicle sheet to force the creature to reroll the attack with a –5 penalty.
* Boon Grants Permanent Bonus.

During the trip, Spica had spent most of it submerged in a large barrel of seawater, where she felt more comfortable, deciding on the spells she wanted.
When she did come out, it was mostly at night, to stargaze.
Got that, got that, got that, ew ... Fireball ... no thank you ... got that ... oooh I wonder what Shout does .... Expeditious Retreat ... useful. Burning Hands .... what IS it with mages and fire spells .... hm ... I suppose Lightning Bolt and Colour Spray could be fun. Now I just have to figure out how much that's gonna cost me
Upon arrival, she comes out on deck, dressed in her usual robes and looks over the rail at the water below longingly.
The island is not large enough to support much in the way of predators, but probably has plenty of game. Mostly birds, but it is possible goats or boar could survive here in small enough numbers.
A small dock offers several cleats and mooring poles for docking smaller boats, such as fishing vessels and very small single mast ships. A large sloop, configured for hauling cargo, is anchored near the dock. A large pile of lumber peaks out from a tarp, just past the tree line. Several storage sheds dot the area, most of them looking poorly built or neglected.
Perception check Spica the undine wizard notices the water drops 10 feet deep just off the shore, then to 30 feet deep beyond the first 5 feet of water away from shore.
|

Spica had had enough of being stuck on a boat. So when the chance came, she tossed her gear into the dingy, then peeled off her robes and tossed them in the dingy as well before diving into the water, dressed only in an aqua coloured breastband and a midnight blue hip length skirt over the same coloured briefs.
It was obvious she was enjoying herself in the water being a lot more playful than the usually unemotional logical wizard she usually is as she swam alongside and under the dingy, easily keeping up.
Oh I really needed that she said as she clambered up on the dock, still dripping wet. Say, did you know that the shoreline seems to be terraced? Like Stone Shape has been used to shape it. 10ft deep just off shore then drops to 30ft deep a bit further out. That's really odd. It's tempting to have a closer look if there's time.

Before stepping into their dinghy, Sorithar retrieves and tosses two small gemstones to float in quick rotations about his head. He then goes through a series of brief castings, raising wards and enhancing his faculties. The final of these adds a small finger bone to objects floating about his person, giving him both an odd and somewhat unsettling appearance.
Raising an eyebrow at Spica's actions, he joins the others in the dinghy. As they moor the small boat, he nods at the watery mage's observations, studying the sight through the clear water himself.
"Indeed. Likely to make the shore viable for some smaller vessels, still large enough to haul cargo, to approach."
Can locate glyphs of warding, symbol spells, and similar magical spell traps that use writing as if he were a rogue. He can use Perception or Knowledge (arcana) to notice such traps, and can use Disable Device or Spellcraft to disable these types of traps.

He is garbed in finely wrought, though slightly worn, dark explorer's garb with plenty of pockets and pouches, some of which seem quite full. A pair of dagger hilts stick out of each of his well tailored leather boots and a smaller crossbow hangs from a hook at his waist, across from a pouch of bolts. In his hands is a well worn, black basalt staff that seems almost alive, twisting into random irregular geometric patterns. On several of his fingers are gleaming rings of gold, bronze and other hues. A finely wrought, slim silvery headband sits upon his brow.
Short, tapered wands are tucked into his waist sash and one small gemstone hovers about his head, spinning around it at a distance of roughly a foot.

Ally of the Green [][][]: You have communed with the fugitive leshys of Anglemire and demonstrated your respect for their humble treasures. As a parting gift, the leshy Harvest Stripe gave you three gourd seeds imbued with some of the leshys' primal magic.

Blessing of Nivi [X][X][][]: Your efforts on behalf of Kalsgard’s gnome population have drawn the attention, and blessing of the gnome goddess Nivi Rhombodazzle.

This boon’s doubling effect does not stack with other benefits that would multiply the result of your Day Job check.)

[STRIKE]Righteous Redemption: [X] Thanks to your work bringing a lost hero’s legacy to light, key leaders in the crusader nation of Lastwall have begun seeing Pathfnders less as ruffians and more as potential allies. Between adventures or while in Lastwall, you can check the box that precedes this boon to requisition one of the following: a satchel containing six flasks of holy water and an oil of bless weapon; two scrolls of lesser restoration; a combat-trained warhorse (heavy or light) with a military saddle, bit, bridle, and week of feed; a masterwork longsword; or a masterwork lance. This gear is yours to do with as you please, but it has an effective resale value of 0 gp.[/STRIKE]
Worthy Foe: [][][] Lastwall is the Inner Sea’s bulwark against countless evils, and you have proven yourself against a local villain. As a swift action, you can check a box that precedes this boon to gain one of two benefits against enemies that correspond to the threat you defeated. First, you can choose to gain a +2 bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls against such creatures, as well as a +2 dodge bonus to AC against such creatures’ attacks.
Alternatively, you can gain a +2 bonus on caster level checks to overcome those creatures’ spell resistance, increase the save DC of your spells and abilities against those creatures by 1, and gain a +2 bonus on saving throws against those creatures’ spells and abilities. Either benefit lasts until the beginning of your next turn.
Tusks: You gain the benefits above against magical beasts and humanoids with the orc subtype.
Duskwarden’s Favor: [] Your actions below Kaer Maga have impressed the Duskwardens, and these guides teach you some of their tricks for safely navigating dangerous caverns. You can cross this boon of your Chronicle sheet to gain the ranger favored terrain ability (+2) in underground environments for the remainder of the scenario. If you already have favored terrain in underground environments, add 2 to the bonuses that you gain in underground environments for the remainder of the scenario.
What Ambush? (Scout Mission): [][] Your experience in Gallowspire has sharpened your senses against
hidden foes. When you would fail a Perception check to act on the surprise round, you can check a box that
precedes this boon to act on the surprise round. You are still considered flat-footed until you take an action.
Alternatively, you can check a box to reroll an initiative check.
Unravel Magic (Spellcaster Mission): [][] You have friends who know their way around magic. Check the box that precedes this boon as a swift action. A Pathfinder ally briefly enters the fight and casts dispel magic, with a caster level equal to your character level. If your character level is at least 13 when you activate this boon, your ally can cast greater dispel magic instead.
Timely Delivery (Muscle Mission): [][] No matter where you travel, you can count on one of your Pathfinder allies to keep you ready. You can spend 1 minute and 2 PP and check the box that precedes this boon to gain an item costing 750 gp or less. Unlike a normal purchase made with PP, you do not need to be anywhere near a settlement to acquire the item.
Tactical Strike (Guard Mission): [] You can rally your allies to make a coordinated strike. Check the box
that precedes this boon as a swift action and select one opponent. Until the beginning of your next turn, you
and all of your allies deal an additional 1d8 points of damage on all attacks against that opponent. You are
considered to be flanking that opponent if at least two of your allies are threatening that foe, regardless of
your actual positioning.
Restorative Burst (Medic Mission): [] A spark of divine grace from your medic allies protects you. When
you would be reduced to less than 0 hit points, you can check the box that precedes this boon to automatically
trigger a burst of healing around your body. This heals you and all willing allies within 30 feet, as the channel
energy ability of a cleric of your level.
Necromantic Surge: [][][][] You can check a box that precedes this boon to strike foes with the Whispering
Tyrant’s magic, using one of the following spell-like abilities based on your level when you activate this boon.
Use your character level as your caster level, and use your Charisma modifier to determine the spell’s DC.
Levels 5–8: You can use a spell-like ability from the following list: bestow curse, command undead, enervation,
false life, fear, or vampiric touch.
Levels 9–12: Add eyebite, possession (Pathfinder RPG Occult Adventures 181), and waves of fatigue to the list of spell-like abilities you can use.
Levels 13–16: Add control undead, finger of death, and greater possession (Occult Adventures 181) to the list of spell-like abilities you can use. Check two boxes to use these spells.
Levels 17+: Add energy drain and wail of the banshee to the list of spell-like abilities you can use. Check two
boxes to use these spells.
Echoing Paradox: [] A trace of the magic of the Sanctum of Lost Ages clings to you, and against all odds and reason, a future or past version of you can appear to provide assistance in a time of need. Before you roll an attack roll, a skill check, or a saving throw, a copy of you appears either to flank with you or to grant you a +2 bonus as per the aid another action. If you have an ability that grants a higher bonus on aid another actions, you gain this as a bonus instead; the copy also shares all of your teamwork feats. After the attack, skill check, or save is resolved, the copy fades away, and you are shaken until the end of your next turn by the unsettling paradox of being at two places at once.
Aggressive Researcher: [] You have proven your mettle in Absalom’s greatest libraries, and in the course of your research, you uncovered many facts that were not immediately relevant but might one day prove useful. You can cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet before attempting a Knowledge (arcana, history, or planes) check in order to treat your final check result as if it were 25, even if you are not trained in the skill. Alternatively, you may instead gain a +5 bonus on the check.
Acquainted with Aslynn: The entity known as Aslynn knows who you are and what you did in the Forae Logos. Whether this is to your advantage or detriment is as yet unknown.
Impossible Feat: [] The extraordinary actions possible within a dream might not be possible while awake, but you nonetheless dream of performing a similarly spectacular deed. You may cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet before attempting a skill check, saving throw, or attack roll to add 1d6 to the result of your check. If you roll a 6, roll the six-sided die again and combine the results. You may repeat this process up to twice for a maximum additional bonus of +18.
Charted Pillars: You can borrow a copy of Venture-Captain Norden Balentiir’s map of the Pillars of the Sun while traveling to that region. The map is imperfect, but it provides enough sufficient information about safe routes through the mountains that you gain a +2 bonus on Knowledge (geography) and Survival checks made when navigating the area.
Recruiter of Badru: You have convinced the soulbound construct Badru to contact Zarta Dralneen and consult for her Dark Archive. When you use Prestige Points to purchase make whole as a spellcasting service, Badru himself casts it at CL 12th. This boon may have other uses in future scenarios.
Relic Guardian: Your stewardship of historical treasures inspires you to act quickly to save such relics from destruction. Once per scenario, when an unattended object within your reach is targeted by an offensive spell, attack, or effect, you can treat that object as though it were in your possession for the purpose of attempting saving throws and resisting sunder attempts. If an opponent succeeds at a combat maneuver check to sunder an object in your possession, you can cross this boon of your Chronicle sheet to force the creature to reroll the attack with a –5 penalty.

"Or the sea monsters" Koryo adds. "10 feet might be enough for them to come right up to the beach if they're tame."
Who's a good sea serpent? Yes you is! Heh. Probably not.
Koryo casts a quick eye over the larger vessels moored here. Were they in good repair? Freshly docked? Or had this dock been left alone for a while, like the sheds? Because if they needed to get more Pathfinder slaves out, they'd need a bigger boat.

Sorithar hauls himself up on to the dock.
"Best to move quickly. It is unlikely this dock is as unguarded as it appears to be and the quicker we get to solid ground, the less likely we're caught between the dragon and desert, or mayhap the kraken and the desert in this case..."

He is garbed in finely wrought, though slightly worn, dark explorer's garb with plenty of pockets and pouches, some of which seem quite full. A pair of dagger hilts stick out of each of his well tailored leather boots and a smaller crossbow hangs from a hook at his waist, across from a pouch of bolts. In his hands is a well worn, black basalt staff that seems almost alive, twisting into random irregular geometric patterns. On several of his fingers are gleaming rings of gold, bronze and other hues. A finely wrought, slim silvery headband sits upon his brow.
Short, tapered wands are tucked into his waist sash and one small gemstone hovers about his head, spinning around it at a distance of roughly a foot.

Within Chronicle: letter of introduction
* Timelost Chronicler: You have journeyed through the ancient serpentfolk city of Sessegishoss and witnessed the fall of the Starstone, granting you a remarkable perspective of Golarion’s history. You gain a permanent +1 bonus on Knowledge (history) checks from your first-hand knowledge. Once per scenario you may call on the nascent power granted by your exposure to the falling Starstone to find inner greatness, granting you a +1 morale bonus to a single d20 roll. You must declare your use of this power before the roll is made.
Gloomspire Explorer []: Despite having studied only a small portion of Sevenfingers’s tomb, you are now one of the Society’s foremost authorities on the enigmatic Gloomspires. While adventuring in the Gloomspires, you receive a +2 bonus on all Perception checks made to find hidden objects such as traps, treasure, and secret doors. If you check the box included with this boon, you gain the benefits of this boon for the duration of one scenario set anywhere other than the Gloomspires.
Debt of Cyphers: You rescued ex-Pathfinder and Cyphergate scholar Hirako Gurukaza from the hands of pirate kidnappers. In thanks, he has spread your name among the Order of the Cyphers. When in Riddleport, you gain a +2 bonus on Knowledge (arcana) and Linguistics checks when you consult Gurukaza before making the check. In addition, the Order's connection to some of Riddleport's more powerful criminal elements also provides you a future benefit in the form of a +2 bonus on Diplomacy checks made in the city to gather information.
* Riddleport Respect: Word of your defeat of pirate captain Alejia Netrav has spread throughout Riddleport, and you've earned the respect of the criminals and thugs that call the city home. When you flex your muscle, folks in the City of Cyphers pay attention. You receive a +2 bonus on Intimidate checks made in Riddleport as a result.
* You Rescued the Minotaur Prince: You rescued Nuar Spiritskin, the Minotaur Prince of Absalom and he is quite grateful that you have done so. Though he is absolutely unclear how he got into the Tangle in the first place, he pays this no mind and spreads the tale of your daring-do to his many contacts throughout the city. You gain a permanent +1 circumstance bonus to any Intelligence or Charisma-based checks made while in Absalom.
New Recruit (J. Dacilane) []: Your team of Pathfinders sponsored J. to join the Pathfinder Society. In exchange, she is eager to assist you on one of your future missions. You can direct J. to cast a spell from the spiritualist list (Pathfinder RPG Occult Adventures 76) as a standard action. The spell’s level can be up to one third of your character level (minimum 0). J.’s caster level is equal to your character level – 3 (minimum 2), and her Wisdom score is 17. J. is a noncombatant, and she is considered to be in your square for the purpose of determining the origin of her spell. When you use this boon, cross it off your Chronicle Sheet.
Ally of the Green [][][]: You have communed with the fugitive leshys of Anglemire and demonstrated your respect for their humble treasures. As a parting gift, the leshy Harvest Stripe gave you three gourd seeds imbued with some of the leshys' primal magic. As a standard action, you can check one of the boxes that precede this boon and consume one of these seeds as if it were a goodberry, though the seed heals 1d4+1 points of damage. Alternatively, you can feed a seed to an adjacent plant creature to grant it 5 temporary hit points and the benefits of divine favour (CL 6th) for 1 minute. When you check the last box, cross the entire boon off your Chronicle sheet.
* Archaeological Expert []: The Pathfinder Society has a strong tradition of archaeological exploration, and you have proven yourself a capable excavator and historian. You gain a +1 bonus to Appraise and Knowledge (history) checks to identify the cultural significance of art and objects. If you would fulfill the primary success conditions of an adventure but fail its secondary success conditions, you can cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet and attempt an Apprise, Knowledge (history), or Profession (archaeologist) check (DC = 10 + 2*character level). If you succeed, you make a small but significant archaeological discovery that allows you, and only you, to earn the Prestige Point reward anyway. You cannot Take 10 on this check.
Imperium Initiate []: Your study of Jistkan ruins and golems has taught you a few tricks for handling the supernatural soldiers of ancient Garund. You can cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet before casting a spell to make it especially effective against constructs and divs. Those creatures take a -2 penalty on all saving throws made against the spell for 1 round. Alternatively, you can cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet as a free action to treat hardness and damage reduction of all constructs and divs as 5 lower against your attacks for 1 round.
* Delvehaven Star []: You were an integral part of the Pathfinder Society’s first sanctioned expeditions in Cheliax in many years. In recognition of your role in this important milestone, the Society has imprinted your wayfinder with the Delvehaven Star—named in honor of a famous Chelish Pathfinder lodge. You gain a +2 bonus on Knowledge (history, local, and nobility) checks associated with Cheliax, and you gain a +1 bonus to your initiative while adventuring in Cheliax. Furthermore, you can check the box that precedes this boon when spending Prestige Points for spellcasting services to reduce the cost by 2 (minimum 0).
* Eye for Traitors (Dark Archive faction) []: You gain a permanent +2 bonus on Sense Motive checks to tell if someone is lying and on Will saves against illusions. You can cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet in order to re-roll a failed saving throw against an illusion effect and take the second result.
Precious Vindication []: At last! You have uncovered vital data that proves that you made the right choice under pressure, even if the common perception was that you had failed. Select one Pathfinder Society Scenario for which you earned less than the maximum number of Prestige Points. Increase the Prestige Points and Fame earned by 1 (or 0.5 if using the slow advancement track), up to the scenario’s maximum. Record the additional Prestige Points on that character’s next Chronicle sheet as well as below.
* Elemental Conquest: [] You have fought and fraternized with the guardians of Aucturn’s Tear, and although you triumphed, it is clear that this is not the last time you’ll clash with elemental forces. Choose one of the benefits below, and cross the other two off your Chronicle sheet. You may select an option only so long as you successfully completed at least one encounter in a region with that elemental affinity during this adventure.
Fire: You gain a +1 insight bonus on saving throws against spells, spell-like abilities, and effects of creatures with the fire subtype and against spells with the fire descriptor.
While adventuring on the Plane of Fire, you instead gain a +1 insight bonus on all saving throws.
As a swift action, you can check the box that precedes this boon in order to grant one weapon you wield the flaming weapon special ability for 1 minute; if the weapon already has the flaming special ability, it instead gains flaming burst for 1 minute.
Ranginori’s Debt: [][] You helped recover the Untouchable Opal, within which Ranginori, Elemental Lord of Air, is trapped. While imprisoned, his power is limited. Nonetheless, he has granted you an initial gift with the promise of greater rewards should the Society free him. You can activate this boon as a standard action by checking one of the boxes that precedes it, gaining one of the benefits based on your level when you activate the boon. For any spell-like ability, use your character level as your caster level.
Any Level: You can recall a spell slot or prepared spell you already cast that day. The spell is prepared again or the spell slot is available for use again, as if it had not been used already.
Levels 1–4: You cast cat’s grace, cure moderate wounds, lesser restoration, or shocking grasp as a spell-like ability.
Levels 5–8: Add cure serious wounds, fly, and lightning bolt to the list of spell-like abilities you can use.
Level 9–11: Add call lightning storm and cure critical wounds to the list of spell-like abilities you can use.
Level 12+: Add heal and whirlwind to the list of spell-like abilities you can use, though both of these spell-like abilities requires you to check both boxes.
Tome of First Contact [X][][][][]: You have recovered a strange tome that details utterly bizarre creatures rarely seen on your world. After rolling a Knowledge check to identify an aberration, ooze, or outsider (or a creature that is not native to Golarion) and learning the results, you can check one or more boxes that precede this boon. For each box you check, you can learn one additional piece of information, as if your Knowledge check result had been 5 higher. If you did not succeed at the Knowledge check in the first place, you can check one box to succeed at the Knowledge check to learn one piece of information plus the creature’s name, type, and subtypes.
Once you check the last box, you’ve expended the tome’s greatest secrets. It remains a curious keepsake.
Ectoplasmic Enhancement []: You recovered a sample of concentrated ectoplasm from the Gloomspires. You may activate this ectoplasm as a swift action to treat all of your natural attacks, unarmed strikes, and weapon attacks as if they had the ghost touch property for 1 round. If you have at least one level in the spiritualist class, the ghost touch property persists for 3 rounds and also affects her phantom’s natural attacks. When you use this boon, cross it off your Chronicle sheet.
Aid of the Overwatched [][]: You returned Ralzeros the Overwatched to Golarion and convinced him to lend his aid to the Dark Archive. In thanks for your help, Ralzeros convinces his familiar Daosvaria to send a piece of her essence and knowledge to assist you.
Instead of taking Daosvaria as a familiar, you can call her forth to share fragments of Ralzeros’s knowledge. Check a box that precedes this boon to roll a single Knowledge check using a bonus of 5 plus your character level in place of your typical bonus. If your own bonus is higher, you may instead gain a +2 bonus on the Knowledge check.
If you use this benefit, cross the option to take Daosvaria as a familiar off your Chronicle sheet.
Blessing of Nivi [X][X][][]: Your efforts on behalf of Kalsgard’s gnome population have drawn the attention, and blessing of the gnome goddess Nivi Rhombodazzle. This boon has different effects depending on your race. If you are a non-gnome, you may check a box next to this boon to cast blur as a swift action, with a caster level equal to your total character level. Once you have checked all the boxes next to this boon, you gain Gnome as a bonus language; this has no further effect for characters who already speak Gnome.
Gnomes of the North [][][]: You have befriended the gnomes of Kalsgard and found a home away from home at the Hall of Seven Wagers. You can check a box next to this boon to use either Bluff, Knowledge (local), or Sleight of Hand to make your Day Job check at the end of an adventure, doubling the amount of gold normally received for the result of your check. If you already have the ability to use one of these skills to make a Day Job check, checking a box instead grants you a +2 bonus on such a check, in addition to doubling the gold received as normal. This boon’s doubling effect does not stack with other benefits that would multiply the result of your Day Job check.)
Ghalcor’s Spellcraft: Following the battle at Ghalcor’s Tower, you were able to study the dead cleric’s notes and discovered that he also developed a handful of powerful spells. Now the Pathfinder Society and the Mendevian Crusade can wield these in the fight against the Worldwound. So long as you possess this boon, all of your Pathfinder Society Organized Play characters have access to the following spells from Pathfinder Player Companion: Demon Hunter’s Handbook as if they appeared on the Additional Resources page: burst with light, detect demon, and righteous blood.
Mendevian Commendation: You have received a medal for your service to Mendev and the Fifth Crusade. For every Mendevian Commendation you have, you gain a cumulative +1 bonus on Charisma-based skill and ability checks made to influence crusaders of Mendev (maximum +3).
Elixir of Renewal: [][] You gain a special elixir that you can consume as if it were a potion in order to restore 2d8+5 hit points as well as 1d4 points of one type of ability damage. You can use the potion only once, even if the user is under the effects of alchemical allocation (Pathfnder RPG Advanced Player’s Guide 201) or a similar effect that would allow one to benefit from a potion multiple times. Check the box that precedes this boon when you use this elixir.
[STRIKE]Righteous Redemption: [X] Thanks to your work bringing a lost hero’s legacy to light, key leaders in the crusader nation of Lastwall have begun seeing Pathfnders less as ruffians and more as potential allies. Between adventures or while in Lastwall, you can check the box that precedes this boon to requisition one of the following: a satchel containing six flasks of holy water and an oil of bless weapon; two scrolls of lesser restoration; a combat-trained warhorse (heavy or light) with a military saddle, bit, bridle, and week of feed; a masterwork longsword; or a masterwork lance.

Charted Pillars: You can borrow a copy of Venture-Captain Norden Balentiir’s map of the Pillars of the Sun while traveling to that region.

Two sloops, shallow-bottomed ships with a single mast, and two rowboats are tied to the docks. The docks themselves show recent repairs and are in good shape. The storage sheds attached to the dock are older, permanent structures with moderate weather damage. Four hastily erected temporary sheds have been set up, made from the same material as the repairs.

Koryo goes with Spica, just in case there's anything (or anyone) in there.
"Nice." He looks over some of the tools, but doesn't take anything. "Wish I'd had some of these a couple years ago."
On the way up, he asks the others "Does anyone have that one spell prepared... um, message I think it was? And is anyone hiding a bird pet?"
|
|
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
"The bird or the spell? Getting an idea of this place's layout would be helpful, and birds are good at that. A spell that lets you exchange information quietly at a distance would be useful if we get separated."
"I doubt we want to just charge screaming through the front door, after all."
