Every Pathfinder’s adventures come to an end eventually, and when an esteemed venture-captain is laid to rest, the Society was unaware of his outstanding debt to the Ekujae elves of the Mwangi Expanse. The elves have not forgotten though, and they expect the Society to make good on the late venture-captain’s promises. It's up to six bold Pathfinders to brave the Mwangi jungle and the dangers within to salvage the Society’s reputation in the region!
Welcome to my run of 07-24 Dead Man's Debt! This will be the second game I've GM'd through Play-by-Post, so bear with me if I'm still adjusting to the medium. This scenario ranges from Level 1 to 5, which in Pathfinder is a significant power spectrum. Because of this I've opted not for First Come First Serve or Lottery, but rather picking a party that can find a relatively stable power level. There will be minimum one post per day from me, usually more if there is something for me to respond to or move forward with. I ask that my players also post at least once per day, or let me know if they'll be unavailable for any reason. I'm understanding! If all of this still interests you, please leave a brief introduction to the character you'd be most interested in bringing along below. I'm looking forward to seeing who will be joining me on my second adventure!

Welcome to my table of S05-08 The Confirmation, my first foray in the wild world of GMing! Because I'm still wet behind the ears, I'm looking to recruit a mixture of players for my first game. I'm looking for at least 1 GM experienced with Play-by-Post to play so that they may critique and help me improve for future tables, and fresh faces who haven't ran this scenario in the past will be favored so that I may GM naturally without trying to subvert any expectations. Characters of Level 1 are preferred, with headers that contain as much relevant information as possible and with complete, accurate character sheets. There will be minimum one post per day from me, usually more if there is something for me to respond to or move forward with. I ask that my players also post at least once per day, or let me know if they'll be unavailable for any reason. I'm understanding! If all of this still interests you, please leave a brief introduction to the character you'd be most interested in bringing along below. I'm looking forward to seeing who will be joining me on my first adventure!
The invitation delivered last night was remarkably simple, especially given the importance of the occasion: “Start where it all began. Meet us at the Pig’s Paunch one hour before dawn.” The Pig’s Paunch is a run-down building with a faded sign of a large pig standing on its hind legs, arms folded above a corpulent belly. Inside, the air is thick with the scents of human sweat, stale tobacco, and leftover food. In the center of the room, surrounded by inebriates sleeping off their revelries, a familiar elven man stands high upon top of a large round table. “Welcome! Welcome, my students! Please, have a seat!” With that, Kreighton Shaine, the Pathfinder Society’s Master of Scrolls, nimbly drops down to sit cross-legged on the table before looking about the tavern with a sense of reverent wonder. “Can you believe it? It all started here years ago—well, over four hundred of them at least. Under this very roof the Pathfinder Society was born. But today! Today you will begin your Confirmation! Master Farabellus, Master Zey, and I all agree you each have shown your worth and dedication to the Society, so there’s no better time to see if you can handle becoming full field operatives. Allow me to introduce you to Janira Gavix,” he says as he motions for an excitable halfling woman to approach. She wears a large backpack and carries all manner of tools, pouches, and scroll cases around her waist. Shaine continues, saying, “Janira here will be going with you on your Confirmation. She was one of my brightest pupils and will no doubt be an invaluable resource on your journey, for she discovered the caves you are about to explore during her own Confirmation.” Janira speaks up in an enthusiastic and cheerful voice, “Greetings, aspiring Pathfinders! Six months ago, while I was mapping cave entrances in the foothills of the Kortos Mounts, I witnessed a lone gillman entering a concealed cave. I thought little of it at the time, but I saw another one enter the cave again a month later as my Confirmation stretched on. A few days later, after I completed my assigned task, I entered the cave system, but was unable to find the gillmen.” Master Shaine hops to his feet. “Initiates, for your Confirmation, you will travel to these caves to explore and document its many passages. Additionally, and most importantly, you are to learn what the gillmen are up to in there. Oh, and you need to come back alive as well.” With these parting words, the Master of Scrolls jumps off the table and strolls out of the building while humming to himself. |
