The Pathfinder Society has shipped you to Wati, where the Asp and Crook Rivers converge to form the River Sphinx in southeastern Osirion, to explore its necropolis, and even with the local official's approval this time! With the necropolis opened by royal decree, the priests of the local temple of Pharasma, the Grand Mausoleum, have been tasked with assigning sites ready for exploration to adventuring companies in a lottery. The Society has already registered your team for this lottery, and will be covering your room and board during your time in Wati. Thousands of years worth of history and treasures await!
Foreword: I will be honest with you, I want to run this because I got bored after most Outpost games have wind down, and my new PbP games are slow to start.....and instead of praying that someone is willing to GM something I need, I decided take matter into my own hand and run my own game! Level 1 of Emerald Spire has truly being done to death, so I figured I try out something less commonly run -- sanctioned lv1 AP portion, and here we are. We will be playing only the sanctioned portion of this AP volume (part 1 & part 2) in standard/PFS mode, which means you have to bring a legal lvl 1~2 PFS character. This adventure is replayable for free for level 1 character. I do not have the GM capacity to start another full AP at the moment, sorry. Player Expectation: This would be a extremely combat heavy adventure. There will be two 'dungeons' that you need to clear out, with time to rest and recover between. If you are looking for a lot of roleplaying , then this adventure is probably not for you, since whatever buried under Osirion sand are not very talkative and probably want to kill you. Due to the comparatively high amount of encounters, I would prefer to maintain a decent, constant pace for the game. I would expect a minimum of 1 post daily during the weekday, and 1 post throughout the weekend. That being said, real life comes first. If you know you are expecting IRL busy time or is travelling, just let us know ahead of time so I can BOT you. And there will probably be some unexpected event that might hinder or delay your daily participation of the game. If 24h+ hours have passed since its your turn to act in combat and it's not an predetermined absence, I will either delay or BOT you to the best of my ability to help your team to success.
At the time of posting, ‘Eκάτη, Gerald, Pete H, and I'm Hiding In Your Closet expressed interest in playing in Flaxseed Lodge's recruitment thread, so you all got a seat! One seat will be reserved for my friend Evan, and hopefully we can get another player for a full team of six.
The game is part of Outpost VIII. Please check out my GM profile to see my GM philosophy and expectation, much of which are common sense I hope. We will be using Google Slides and RPG Chronicle for this game, and they will be added when we get closer to the game start date. You can post your player name, character name, PFS #, and faction stuff in here if you want. But since those things will be entered in the RPG Chronicle anyway, I think some OOC introduction to what your character can do would help everyone getting familiar with the teammates better.
Previously, on Version A, B, C...: As the battle against Eshimka escalates, the Pathfinders have faced trial after trial to stop the undead invasion. Their journey began at the Blakros Museum, uncovering a stolen relic and pledging to help the Twinhorn warriors return it. After securing passage through Belkzen, the Pathfinders arrived too late to prevent an undead onslaught but sealed the rift, delaying a greater invasion. To prepare for the final battle, the Pathfinders sought the site of paladin Ivvora’s last stand, battling dragons and kobolds in hopes of forging a weapon to end Eshimka. Now, with the solstice approaching, the fate of the Twinhorns—and the world—rests on shoulders.

Venture-Captain Drandle Drang calls you all to an emergency meeting at the Grand Lodge in the middle of the night......
Recruiting 2 players for our delve into the Emerald Spire! We're currently at Lvl3 the Splindterden. 3 players leave after Floor 2 due to already played this floor but one of them will come back for Floor 4. I had a friend that step in and fill that spot, so we need 2 more to be a complete 6 player team. Prefer having the same team that venture through the Emerald Spire, but if you want to swap character/leave after playing a few floor that's ok as well. We foresee the Ship of Theseus situation long ago :)
Continuation of the Emerald Spire run that was started by GM Mike R from Outpost VII.
And I totally forgot to change the level number when I copy and paste the thread title, oops.
After dealing with the skeletons and spiders in the cellars, the Pathfinders regroup and resupply at Fort Inevitable before venturing into the next level of the Emerald Spire......

After fifty days at sea, the Pathfinder lodge at Heidmarch Manor in Magnimar is a welcome place to spend the night on dry land. In the shade of the gazebo on the shore of the manor’s exotic carp pond, the resident venture-captain, Sheila Heidmarch, speaks to the assembled Pathfinders in a low, breathy voice. “I hope you’ve found your brief stay here in the City of Monuments relaxing. The Pathfinder Society owes you a debt of gratitude for engaging in such an important and lengthy mission. When you set out from Absalom nearly two months ago, I’m sure you never anticipated the monotony of a life at sea, but I’m happy we can put you up as the ship restocks before the final leg of the journey to the Mordant Spire." “Thus far, you have done an excellent job of representing the Society as the escorts of the Mordant Spire’s envoy, the distinguished Sephriel, whom we hope had a productive meeting with the Decemvirate regarding the Azlanti ruins over which the Mordant Spire elves hold such a protective position. If he was pleased with the meeting and doesn’t find you too reprehensible, perhaps we can launch full expeditions into the lost continent of Azlant from this very lodge in the near future.” She winks, and her eyes glance around the assembled agents. With a wry smirk, she continues. “Keep up the good work, and ensure that Sephriel’s final two weeks on the Throaty Mermaid are as pleasant and event-free as they can be on as disreputable a smugglers’ ship as it is. Thus far, it’s provided an unassuming cover for such an important dignitary. Let’s hope the unscrupulous crew delivers their current cargo on time and in pristine condition. When you arrive at Riddleport after dropping Sephriel at the Mordant Spire, a chartered boat will be waiting to take you back to Absalom. May Desna’s blessings be upon you.”
The game will start sometime after the PaizoCon Online 2024 / memorial day weekend (in US) are over. Please add your token to the Google Slide as usual and fill in the RPG Chronicle.
After dealing with the goblinoids in the tower ruins, the Pathfinders regroup and resupply at Fort Inevitable before venturing into the next level of the Emerald Spire...... The steep stair descends through solid bedrock for fifty feet before ending in a stone-lined room. A large stone door stands directly south of the stair, a small alcove lies to the east, and another door to the southeast is slightly ajar. An extinguished torch rests on the floor of the alcove.
This is an assignment for the PbP GM school.
Accompanying her notebook entry, Ulisha filled the next several pages with crude maps, complex equations, and further notes. She apparently returned to the Pathfinder’s cave mentioned in her previous entry. By observing the angle of the ridgeline and her current position, she was able to calculate the crash site’s probable location.

Every year, the Grand Lodge hosts the Grand Convocation at its campus in Absalom. While the Grand Convocation is ostensibly not a party, it is an opportunity for the Decemvirate and Absalom’s resident venture-captains to express their gratitude to field agents and those venture-captains stationed abroad. The Grand Convocation also serves the practical purpose of encouraging networking, relationships, and shared intra-Society communication. The Twelve are well aware that some interaction between field agents will only ever occur informally, hence the festivities serve to provide an excuse for agents across the Inner Sea to meet and mingle, if only for a week.

Exciting news! You've been selected to join the esteemed crew of Venture-Captain Calisro Benarry aboard the legendary Grinning Pixie, also heralded as the Arcadian Mariner’s Lodge, for the adventurous journey of Operation Outpost VII.
This session is part of Gameday XII. Please sign up on this spreadsheet. There're some important information about this module, about its length and reward, in my first post in the Discussion thread you should read before you sign up.
Welcome! My name is Colin and I will be your game master as you overcome the challenge of The Gauntlet. Although I've GMed quite a bit for PFS (mostly on Roll20), this will be my first time running game on PbP. I think I will use Google Slide for the map on this one, as I have many pleasant experience playing game with it before. The Gauntlet is a sanctioned module that award upon completion. It usually takes about 5~6 hours of in person/online play time to finish the whole module. It is designed for lv8 characters thus the 7~9 character level range. As normal, lv7 pregenerated character can be used instead of a player character. The Gauntlet is written as a challenging dungeon for a wider audience, and its depiction of the Pathfinder Society is not representative of the organization as a whole. Embark knowing that the Society will have your back in your future exploits, but today you delve into the merciless depths of The Gauntlet. About the Gauntlet: The Gauntlet is an annual board gaming tournament and fundraiser organized by ENGAGE (https://www. moxboardinghouse.com/engage/), the charitable giving branch of Mox Boarding House in Bellevue, Washington. To help raise funds for the 2015 Gauntlet challenge, team members Jason Bulmahn, Erik Mona, Jessica Price, and Stephen Radney-MacFarland offered to create an exciting dungeon adventure for the fans based on how much money Paizo’s team raised for Hopelink, a local nonprofit organization dedicated to combating poverty.
A courier runs up to you when you're in Absalom. "I've been looking for you. Got something I'm supposed to deliver - your hands only." He leaves you a letter.
