Grand Lodge 4/5

1 person marked this as a favorite.

I've established a lodge in the Kho-Rarne Pass. This location should afford me ample opportunities to continue my explorations of both Osirion and the Mwangi Expanse.

Also it's so remote the Decemvirate are unlikely to bother me there.

I'll be participating in this little jaunt, ladies and gentlemen. Osiriontology is my particular cup of darjeeling, after all.

I am eminently qualified in several fields of study, young fellow-my-lad, if I do say so myself.

Can't say as I blame the chap. My own rencontres with the Blakros have been less than cordial, shall we say.

Although they do have the convenient habit of colocating their artifacts--it simplifies repropriation, see?

'Twas in the most wretched city in all of Avistan: Kaer Maga. My intrepid Pathfinder companions and I...

PFS scenario spoiler:
...were on the trail of the insidious Shadow Lodge. We had tracked the villains back to their lair and infiltrated the old prison complex by rooftop. In the courtyard, the nefarious ne'er-do-wells were keeping a monstrous giant scorpion the size of a hut!

After marveling for a moment at the massiveness of the cephalothorax on this monstrous specimen of Compsobuthus gargantuensis, I concocted the scheme to start a fire in order to lure the prison's defenders out into the courtyard, where they would have to contend not only with the mindless aggression of the giant scorpion, but also with "the slings and arrows" (and spells, look you) "of outrageous," er, Pathfinders.

Little did I reckon that such a scheme would alert the entire nest of villains to our presence, or that there would be so many of them. As it turned out, that little prison was a veritable clown-coach of Shadow Lodge blackguards. The scorpion did deal with a few of them for us, but when we were forced to pursue them into the depths of the lair itself, we neglected to remember that the scorpion was also cutting off our only route of retrograde. It was with great difficulty that we effected our assault, but ultimately, we ferreted out and slew the Shadow Lodge ringleaders and the Pathfinder Society triumphed yet again.

Doj,

Osiriani and Ancient Osiriani are two separate languages, but if you have Osiriani you're able to read Ancient Osiriani.

But sometimes GMs are jerks, so it's better to just take both. So when the GM says with a scoff that "you can't read it unless you speak Ancient Osiriani," you can show him Ancient Osiriani on your Languages line.

Not that that's ever happened to me... multiple times....

Now THAT is funny, young fellah-my-lad.

7th level trap rogue, yes, sonny-my-boy. But I'll be blazing trails, finding paths, penetrating the jungles, and plundering the tombs at the high-level table.

Grand Lodge

Undead, because I'm a veteran explorer of ancient tombs and crypts.

Spoiler:
Also because there's an overwhelming proportion of undead in PFS scenarios.

In between my Pathfinder Society expeditions, I'm a lecturer in antiquities and geography at Almas University.

Ah, good to see a fellow Andoran on board! The forces of tyranny and oppression will quake at our approach. Well, they'll quake at YOUR approach. They won't notice my approach until the bowstring is singing.

P.S. LtlBtyRam, could you please send me an email? I don't have anybody's email or # or directions for the Sunday game.

Grand Lodge 4/5

For the nefarious foes of Andoran, it didn't come to fisticuffs this time. They were foiled by our arrows, whistling sudden justice from the treelines.

This is the character that I'll be bringing (Charlie Bell). Very much the skill monkey. This'll be my first time with Pathfinder Society, though not by a long shot my first time with Pathfinder/3.5/D&D in general. Would one of the DM's mind taking a look to make sure this character's legal?

Also, since this is my first time in PFS play, I want to play, not GM. But I'd be interested in and available for GMing future games.
