Character creation basics: You start at level 11. All ancestries and classes are available, but anything else Uncommon or Rare please run by me. Nothing Unholy. You start with the following equipment:
We will use the Free Archetype variant. Note that Curtain Call features some "Operatic Feats," which are high-level class feats added to the Acrobat, Celebrity, Dandy, and/or Gladiator Archetypes. They're all 12th level or higher so you don't have to worry about them now, but know those are available if you take any of those Archetypes. The basic premise of Curtain Call is that you're producing an opera telling the true-ish story of your own greatest adventure, so the party is already established and at least a little famous.
Documenting Your Party's Legend: Working with your GM and the other players, come up with answers to the following questions. If you or another player thinks up an additional idea or element that would make sense as part of your legend, work with the other players and the GM to figure out how to integrate that expansion into one of the answers below as needed.

The sage Amenopheus has a long history with the Pathfinder Society and was at one point a member and prominent influence in the now-retired Scarab Sages faction. After his time with the Society, Amenopheus retired to the city of Sothis, capital of Osirion. Here he took a position as a consultant to the Osiriani government, performing research. The Pathfinders received a message which detailed a request from Amenopheus looking for a handful of individuals who can help him locate and retrieve missing goods, with some discretion. The selected team of Pathfinder field agents meet with Amenopheus in a small tea shop named the Golden Palm. The tea shop is filled with lively conversation as dozens of Sothis’s citizens enjoy their midday refreshments. An older human man, Amenopheus sits at a small table in a far corner just beyond the sight of the other patrons. The man picks at a pastry that has been mostly falling away to crumbs. He looks up and puts on a relieved smile. But before we get to that, why don't you introduce yourselves?

We're well into high tier, so our level 1 characters receive a level bump. Make sure to share your Mentor Boons! Rainzax, your playtest character is level 3, but did you want a level 1 or level 3 Chronicle for your proxy character?
Our adventure begins early in the morning in Sakakabe, a port town in Sankyō-dai Province in Minkai. The Pathfinders know they’ve been tasked with helping Venture-Captain Kukuha Mukai at the Three Gates Lodge on the island of Kayajima. Their task is to assist the venture captain with inspecting the eponymous gates on the island and upkeeping their connection to local ley lines that helps keep the lodge secure. All of this information is noted in a letter from the venture captain.
The party is waiting for their transportation from Sakakabe to Kayajima. The Pathfinders can make their introductions and purchase any basic equipment or gear they would like while they wait.
So, what kind of characters are you bringing?
For millennia, a virtually impenetrable energy shield has surrounded the planet known as Birnam’s Bubble. Explorers have glimpsed pristine settlements and verdant flora through the barrier, though they’ve seen no fauna or sapient life of any kind and haven’t discovered any explanation for the abandoned cities, powerful energy shield, or automated satellite defenses. The church of Weydan, god of discovery and exploration, routinely monitors the planet, but surveyors have been unable to penetrate the barrier or investigate the missing civilization. As in many other parts of the galaxy, the Drift Crisis changed everything for Birnam’s Bubble. Now, the energy barrier cracks like shattering glass, and shards of this solidified energy fall to the planet’s surface, causing significant destruction. In response, the church of Weydan has spared no cost in rapidly deploying survey teams to gather what data and artifacts they can before all knowledge of the planet’s missing civilization is lost. Our story begins as one such team, aboard the Stylus of Destiny (one of several Weydanite temple-starships now in orbit around Birnam’s Bubble) approaches their designated survey site in a verdant jungle a few miles from an empty settlement. A transmission from Captain Expedite-8 But before we get to that, why don't you introduce yourselves? [ooc]Or dot in to get started.

Venture-Captain Calisro Benarry invites the Pathfinder agents to meet her at the helm of the Glorious Payoff, where she navigates the vessel down the Garundi coast. This crew has been traveling together for several days now and have had ample time to get acquainted. So, before we begin, why don't you introduce yourselves?

A vesk in a faded tracksuit rises from a crouch, a sly grin creeping across his face—Julzakama. He waves a credstick in one hand, the gold chains glistening around his neck in the streetlight. “Looking for work?” he asks. “Got a job for you. I just acquired a freighter with a colorful past—a great investment opportunity, the listing said, which means it’s a fixer-upper. The deal I got was maybe too good to be true. Word on the Ring is my guy towed it in from Azlanti space. Could be a big payday for salvage, but I’m up to my horns in other work and need somebody to clear it out. Help me catalog the assets. If you want in, take a shuttle up to the Armada. Use my passcode to get past the impound lock and clear out any dangers that survived quarantine. You’ll get a primo cut of salvage, of course, and a little something extra for the trouble.”

Egorian is the capital city of the devil-worshipping nation of Cheliax, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t whimsy to be found there. While the many buildings situated within Egorian’s newer districts—including several temples to Asmodeus—are topped with gothic towers and iron spikes, the structures in the city’s older sections are less imposing, with simple stone walls and thatched roofs. The quaintest location in these cozy neighborhoods is a locally famous toyshop called The Terrific Toybox. Owned by toy maker Gettorio Galla, the establishment has an interesting secret: the building was constructed atop an underground source of occult magic that occasionally seeps up into the basement workshop and brings Gettorio’s toys to life as poppets! Like his mother before him and her father before her, Gettorio knows that his creations sometimes come to life, though he doesn’t fully understand the cause. Most of these poppets go out into the larger world to lead full lives, but some remain at The Terrific Toybox as permanent residents. Gettorio is happy to share his home with those he considers his children. In return, the poppets keep the shop clean, run small errands, and even keep watch over the establishment at night. Not long ago, corrupt banker and diabolic dabbler Baron Falgrimous Vreen discovered The Terrific Toybox’s secret. The greedy man wanted the power for himself and so he exploited a loophole in Egorian’s property laws to acquire the rights to the land the toyshop was built on. In a display of utter contempt, Vreen served Gettorio his eviction notice in person, showing the toy maker the land deed as proof of his legal standing. Little did Vreen realize that several poppets—quite loyal to Gettorio—witnessed the interaction and began to formulate a plan to retrieve the deed before The Terrific Toybox is shuttered forever!

Our adventure begins in the Events Hall of the Grand Lodge a few hours after midday, as the festivities are in full swing. The hallways are chock full of agents and guests filing in and out, jovially introducing themselves, discussing recent ventures, and swapping stories. In one of the offices of the Envoy’s Alliance faction lounge, a team gathers at the behest of Fola Barun (CG female half-elf ambassador). Fola and several other familiar agents are in the middle of undoing and resewing some gilded letters stitched onto a large green banner when the field agents arrive. She momentarily stops her needlework to greet them. But before we get to that, why don't you introduce yourselves?

The Pathfinders arrive with Kreighton Shaine , having traveled to the city of Nantambu via riverboat. As they disembark at the Speaker’s Stage on the western edge of the Magaambya, the Scrollmaster herds the group toward a similarly-sized group that’s waiting on the dock. Shaine asks the field agents to give him a moment while he speaks with his counterpart, Takulu Ot . The two instructors have a brief exchange off to the side with pleasantries and expectations being discussed. Takulu Ot has brought an equal number of Magaambya students as there are Pathfinder agents. But before we get to them, why don't you introduce yourselves?

This adventure begins with the Pathfinders aboard the Saranggola, a paraw boat owned by Arong Magsanay, a native Minatan and the field agents’ guide to Binoco Isle. Before setting sail, Arong enthusiastically introduces himself while giving each Pathfinder a high five, or a respectful wave should someone refuse or seem uncomfortable. He then passes over a parcel containing the following: a brief from Valashinaz, a letter from Taiwalei, and a bag of holding (type II). Handout #1: Mission Brief from Valashinez:
Pathfinders,
I, Valashinaz, officially task you with the retrieval of a portion of my hoard in the Temple to Valashinaz near the center of Binoco Isle. This trove boasts a potent glyph of warding to deter thievery. However, you have my permission to deactivate the enchantment. Utter the following phrase in Tien: “To wit or wise, to value without understanding is to have none at all.” This hoard contains an abundant collection of skymetals, so to facilitate its movement, I have provided one bag of holding to be utilized during this mission for the convenience of all parties involved. Once you have acquired my treasure, deliver it to my assistant, Purepurin, at your earliest behest. May you succeed. —Valashinaz Handout #2: A friendly letter from Taiwalei:
Dear fellow Pathfinders,
I hope this letter finds you well as ready to sail for Binoco Isle. While I give this advice to all willing to receive it, I’d hope those less familiar with island adventuring will be especially open to my words. Avoid meddling with your guide’s vessel unless asked; trust and calmness during the voyage will go a long way. There’s no shame in admitting when seasickness is about to take you; this openness will only allow those around you to better prepare. Perhaps above all else, we must remember that just as we are explorers, we’re also visitors who must respect the places we tread. This is particularly important in these self-contained islands. Strive to leave no greater a footprint of your presence than is necessary to your mission. To those inclined to alter the battlefield with fire and similarly destructive elements, note the presence of (non-hostile) fauna and flora as you go about adventuring. And, given the appropriate circumstances, I hope you take joy and come to appreciate the sights that await you among the islands of the Okaiyo. To your best efforts,

A brisk wind cuts across the deck of the Grinning Pixie, the impressive, three-masted carrack that serves as one of the Pathfinder Society’s most famous mobile lodges. Venture-Captain Eras the Needle, a half-elven man who looks as much a scholar as a sailor, greets the agents assembled on the ship’s sterncastle with a calm smile. Beside him stands Venture-Captain Calisro Benarry, a half orc woman equally dressed in the outfit of a seasoned captain. She’s tapping her foot impatiently and seems about to start the briefing herself when Eras clears his throat. “Welcome aboard Pathfinders,” Eras begins. But before we get to that, why don't you introduce yourselves.

The Pathfinders gather in Iceferry, where they meet with Venture-Captain Bjersig Torrsen. Venture-Captain Torrsen is deaf, and his service dog Mahki alerts him to the presence of visitors or sounds of danger. The field agents are greeted by a gnome named Lirall, who prominently wears a wayfinder. After letting the Pathfinders into the Lodge, she selects one cord labeled “Office” from a bundle of colored cords near the door. The loud howl from a dog echoes throughout the building, followed by a trio of scampering, blue-skinned goblins dashing down the hall. A large husky bursts into the hallway, snarling at the goblins until a tall half-orc emerges a moment later and lays a calming hand on her back. He gestures for the Pathfinders to follow him into a meeting room, seemingly ignoring the goblins. But before we get to all of that, why don't you introduce yourselves?

Make sure there's a character sheet accessible in your profile. It looks like we're in high tier with a few minimum-level characters. Remember the level 5s get a level bump, and they can each choose two of the Mentor Boons their higher-level teammates have. So share your Mentor Boons too! (And go purchase them if you haven't. They're free, you just need 20 Reputation with any one faction!) Have you played this before? Like many Repeatable scenarios, it has some variables so that it plays a little differently each time. If you remember how things played out before, let me know by spoiler boxes or PM and I'll try to make sure you see something different. Feel free to start introducing your characters.
The Pathfinders are called into the Grand Lodge for a briefing by chief archivist Zarta Dralneen. They convene in the vaults beneath the lodge, in an office lined with bookshelves and ancient relics in glass cases. An ornate treasure chest rests at the foot of the solid oak desk where Zarta is busily writing. ...but before we get to that, why don't you introduce yourselves?

The letter from J. Dacilane to the Pathfinder Society didn’t specify much: “Pathfinder team requested for mentorship opportunity at Dacilane Academy tomorrow, 9 bells. Sense of humor suggested.” With scant else to go on, the team arrives in front of the newly constructed auditorium doors, festooned with a ceremonial ribbon, to find the students milling about in front of the building. The auditorium has been defaced--the sign for the Dacilane Academy Auditorium has been vandalized, with “Dacilane” changed to “Dandy-lion.” Beneath it, the doors have been painted with a picture of a catfolk wearing a foppish exaggeration of an Eagle Knight uniform. The feline freedom fighter has been hit in the face with a meringue pie by an unseen assailant and is making a comically shocked face.

“All right, Pathfinders, you’re going on a little bit of a cleanup mission.” Valsin taps his finger on the map of a familiar island, tracing north and west from the giant star marking Absalom to a sketch of a castle near the island’s western shore. “A short while back, a group of veteran agents ventured into the ruins of Citadel Uromaz, where they defeated the lich Hekoz and stopped the ritual she was attempting. After dealing with the undead, they were called away to handle another issue. Frankly we need someone to go back and do the hard work of cataloging the place. Most of the large artifacts and valuable items have been noted and brought back to the Grand Lodge, but the previous agents described a huge mural carved into the stone, and no one even thought to take a rubbing of it.” Valsin sighs, “So, it falls to you to go in and document the site properly." But before we get to that, why don't you introduce yourselves?

Marcos Farabellus, the Pathfinder Society’s Master of Swords, has received an official challenge from Orlaelia Aldori, an Aldori swordlord of no small renown. Orlaelia proclaims her students to be superior to any currently training under the Master of Swords and welcomes Marcos to prove her wrong. The blademaster has received countless similar challenges, and normally would ignore it outright. The swordlord, however, has sweetened the pot significantly by offering up a weapon as prize should the Pathfinders prevail in the wager—a renown weapon she last used as a crusader, before taking the name Aldori: her old longsword, Inheritor’s Fury. As this is a powerful weapon brought into the depths of the Worldwound during the 5th Crusade, it is a prize the Society can’t simply ignore. Marcos is also keenly aware that the Pathfinders currently have very little influence in Brevoy, and even a friendly rival might be helpful in that regard. The Pathfinders traveled by river boat up the East Sellen river to Restov, the capital of Brevoy. As they disembark, Marcos Farabellus greets them on the docks. He is a man of sturdy build with a bald head and a full beard. ....but before we get to that, why don't you introduce yourselves?
