"I know..." He sighs as he takes the sticks. "What are these?" Pyry took his time despite his many frustrating attempts to use the chopsticks and finally managed to eat slowly. "This is good. Did you make it?"
"Well... Um... I got into a fight. With another firebird." He mumbles. "He found out I'm a firebird and called me a.. a burnout. It's a bad word for firebirds without any fire related magic. Then he started making fun of me even more and I tried encasing him in ice..."
Pyry grumbles as he poofs into the infirmary for yet another incident involving getting burned. It was one of the rare times he'd been in the gym this time, the result of a impromptu duel with an older -and rather elitist- firebird. He'd handled himself well enough, but... well, it was different fighting than it was chasing off giant mountain fire bugs. Pyry turns his head to look at the window and goes from sullen and angry to smiling happily. He quickly waved the cat in after pressing the button that let the door open. "Tybalt! I don't usually get people coming in here unless a nurse wants to scold me or something! What's in the boxes?"
Pyry grumbles as he poofs into the infirmary for yet another incident involving getting burned.

He'd handled himself well enough, but... well, it was different fighting than it was chasing off giant mountain fire bugs.
"It's just a fancy word for sex," she said with a shrug. "The nurse said that if I was going to do that, and I don't see any reason why I shouldn't - it's fun; anyways, she said if I was going to do that I should use 'protection' to keep me from having a baby. That's what the bracelet is for. It has magic on it to make sure that doesn't happen. So I'd rather not lose it." "That makes sense. I just found out I'm a brother, or still was a brother I guess, I don't wanna be an uncle too." "So what's sex?"
"But... I don"t want to meet new people. I'd rather just have a few friends that I know, I think." He says as he looks up at the icy cat. "And I don't think we can hear the bell in here anyw-" Asha tapped on the window of Tybalt's room. She smiled and waved so they would know that she was for sure okay now. She fiddled with the bracelet a bit. It still felt strange and uncomfortable on her wrist, but it was definitely for the best. Pyry is cut off by the tapping and looks at his sister. Tybalt was right. He couldn't stay in here. "Alright, but I'm coming back later with food." He gets up and hugs Tybalt before hopping off the table and going outside of the Medical Freezer. "Hey, how are you feeling, Asha? Are you okay? We could go try and find an oven or something for you to sit against if not."
"If I stay in here, I won't need them, will I? It's really, really cold. Might take breaks though."
She shakes her head, and shame is plain on her beautiful features. Tears continue to drip down her face silently. "It's not okay." she replies in a hoarse whisper. "Yes it is. Come on in here. Asha is fine now, we promise."
"I will when the spell wears off. I don't know if she's okay with cold like you and I are."
"You kidding me? You're amazing. Don't ever listen to anyone who says otherwise. They don't know what they're talking about," she said, her voice getting stronger as she spoke. Her skin was starting to return to a normal hue as the frostbite faded away. "I guess... There wasn't much I can really do. Just make clothes and fire. Did you see the shorts? Tybalt's wearing them now."
"Yeah... Not even a real firebird and I still use fire magic like a pro." He tries to joke, not quite getting it right. "At least my surprises help sometimes, r-right?"
Asha nodded and pushed on the bubble with all of her might...and looked frustrated as she realized she had discorporated again and the bubble was the only thing keeping her from falling into the basement again. She squeezed her eyes shut and concentrated really hard on being solid, pushing her hands against the bubble as hard as she could. She stumbled as she finally fell out. Full of surprises, the mutant firebird catches his sister as white hot fire surrounds him in the protective aura of a fire shield spell.
Pyry stays quiet for a few moments, staring and thinking, before his smile returns and he prods Tybalt back a bit. "Who is it?"
"They fit okay. It feels weird having good clothes again, but I'll get used to it. So, um.. What are those? Boyfriends and girlfriends? I think I heard some of the other students talk about them..."
Pyry looks at Tybalt funny, then smiles. "I get it! Because it was neat and cool is another word for neat and I used ice. Right?"
"I can make more stuff too, but I don't like the little fire spell I use. It doesn't hurt me, just... feels really weird. Itchy. Like my cold is trying to push it away..."
l "I don't think that's it. I tried for a long time to practice and make it last longer, but it only ever got me extra days, and I haven't gotten past nine yet."
"As far as I can tell they don't melt as long as the spell lasts. Or I want it change back. They've been lasting longer and longer the better I get at it, but last time they only lasted nine days." If Pyry notices or cares about the nudity, it doesn't show. He was happy Tybalt liked the ice clothes though, clearly..
Pyry waits until the girls are watching before he begins casting spells. First, a simple one to create a mass of water in the air, followed by a super-chilled blast to freeze it solid before it hits the ground and has a chance to splash. Next, he moves around the large block and, most likely much to everyone's surprise, casts a spell that causes a ball of fire to appear in his hand. While clearly uncomfortable, Pyry doesn't seemed hurt by it. After getting a good look, Pyry begins using the flame to melt out a pair of hugely oversized shorts for the feline friend of his. After the fire fades and he cools his hand off, he casts one final spell over the ice shorts... and they shrink and change into cloth ones the color of ice. "Sorry that took a while. And about the fire." He picks up the shorts and hands them over. "I hope they fit."
"Oh... Well, I can make the ice." He offers, trying to help. Something more was going on with Tybalt, wasn't it? "Rena and Ascha are here too, but it's too cold for Ascha in here, I think. Do.. Do you need anything..?"

Welcome to our run of 1-29 Honorbound Emissaries. To get started, please provide the following information: Player Name:
We'll get started on Monday, November 9. I look forward to playing with you all!
My question for the community, and for the SFS dev team if they happen up this thread, is in regard to the AbadarCorp Augmentation boon from scenario 1-10 The Half-Alive Streets, the text for which is quoted below. AbadarCorp Augmentations:
AbadorCorp has made you a special offer after you helped maintain the stability of their Freemarkets by keeping illegal augmentations off the streets. At the end of a scenario where you have this boon slotted, you can purchase one or more augmentations from the Starfinder Core Rulebook and receive a one-time 20% discount. If the item level of the augmentation is 8 or more, then you receive only a 10% discount on that augmentation. For each augmentation you purchase in this manner, check one of the boxes on this boon. Once you checked all three boxes, you can no longer receive this discount on future purchases. The questions I have relate specifically to how this boon might interact with the purchase of personal upgrade augmentations. Q1) Can I apply the AbadarCorp Augmentations boon to the upgrade cost of a personal upgrade of 5100cr, so that improving a Mk. 1 upgrade to a Mk. 2 would only cost me 4080 (5100*0.8=4080)? Q2) Am I correctly reading the AbadarCorp Augmentations boon to suggest that I could check multiple boxes to buy more than one augmentation after slotting the boon in a given scenario? And if so, does that mean I can improve my existing Mk. 1 PU to a Mk. 2 for 4080cr, then also buy a new Mk. 1 for 1120cr (1600*0.8=1120)?
Welcome and thanks for signing up for this run of "Heart of the Foe" folks! First off, I'd like to introduce myself a bit to those of you who haven't played with me before. I'm GM Mjolbeard. I've been playing SFS since its debut, much of which has included PBP as a venue. I highly value the game, and love to do as much as I can to throw in a lot of role-play with my roll-play, as the saying goes. With that in mind, here are a few expectations that I will hold for myself as well as my players in this game: RULE THE FIRST: FUN + RESPECT = YAY!:
We are all here to have a good time, show off our characters, and enjoy a good story. A key way that you can help everyone to achieve those goals is to make sure you show respect for your fellow players, your GM (That's me!), and the non-player characters in these stories. So, for example, even if it's part of your character's background that they are a giant flirt or if you like to give super grisly descriptions of how your character finishes off an enemy, make sure to ask your fellow players if they are comfortable with that kind of role play before you engage in it with their characters. NOTE: If anyone has any particular modes of role play with which you are especially uncomfortable, please let me know either in this thread or in a PM, and I will let the whole table know, without calling out that person specifically, that that given behavior will be off-limits for the scenario. Violators of this prohibition will receive a warning via PM, and future infractions could result in a player being asked to leave the table. RULE THE SECOND: POSTING RATE:
Please try to maintain a posting rate of 1+ post/weekday. Weekends are almost always busier for me than weekdays in one way or another, so I may or may not post during that timeframe. I'd accept the same from you. Within those posting rates, I'd love to see as much role-play from each of you as you feel comfortable with. Particularly good role-play can potentially earn things like circumstance bonuses on various rolls! RULE THE THIRD: BOTTING INSTRUCTIONS:
If there is a situation in which you won't be able to keep up with the requested posting rate from the previous rule, please give me some notice, preferably ahead of time, though late is better than never in last minute situations. I will then "bot" your character for the period you indicated you would be absent, or will ask a player to do so if you are comfortable with that instead.
In order to make sure I am sticking as close as possible to the way you would want your character to be played, please include Botting Instructions in your character's profile, including descriptions of your usual strategies and dice macros for your most common combat actions. RULE THE FOURTH: HELP YOUR GM OUT:
Please list important information about your character in the Classes/Levels section of your stat block. Important information includes, at minimum, your character's current SP, HP, RP, KAC, EAC, save bonuses, and spell slots remaining (if applicable). Please also have your full character sheet available in your character's profile. If you're at all unsure what I'm talking about, feel free to take a look at my SFS characters for some examples. RULE THE FIFTH: USE OF SPOILERS:
Spoilers will be used in a number of situations throughout this game. I'll roll initiative for combats and perception for potential surprise situations in spoilers. I'll also provide information for knowledge checks in spoilers with the DCs listed. Finally, if I have some important information to communicate to a specific PC, I will put their name in the spoiler title. Please refrain from reading the spoilers unless you make the DC with the appropriate skill check or your name is specifically listed on the spoiler tag. We will begin play with the start of Gameday VIII on August 26, but in the meantime, please do me a favor and post the information for your character requested below using the template I've provided. This will make things easier for me when it comes time for reporting and putting together chronicles, so this is for your benefit too! You can also dot in on the Gameplay thread with your character of choice. Player Name:
With all that out of the way, all that remains is for me to say thanks again for joining me, and happy gaming!

Super excited to hear more about the evolution of the campaign setting! ISWG and Pact Worlds have been two of my absolute favorite books from Paizo, so I can't wait to see the state of the world starting in the new edition.

GM Adventure Rolls:
A cluster of sleek black computers rests against the far wall of the meeting room. The Starfinder Society emblem at the center of the server cluster shines and begins projecting a stream of holographic light. The light takes the form of a humanoid figure bereft of any definition, standing at the end of the meeting table closest to the servers. “Greetings, I am Guidance. I have a new assignment for you. Please observe.”[b] The projection gestures a flicking hand to its side, and a stream of data detailing an outpost made of interconnected circular chambers scrolls beside it. [b]“One of the Pact Worlds’ most prestigious organizations recently discovered a dataset detailing the location of an outpost abandoned over two hundred years ago. The organization has requested that the Starfinder Society dispatch a team of agents to secure the site, along with any remaining equipment or data. Your team will travel to this outpost and retrieve as much information about it as possible. You should also salvage any relevant equipment, which the Society will take as part of its payment. If you have questions, now is the time to present them.”

With that in mind, here are a few expectations that I will hold for myself as well as my players in this game: 1) Please try to maintain a posting rate of 1+ post/weekday. Weekends are almost always busier for me than weekdays in one way or another, so I may or may not post during that timeframe. I'd accept the same from you. Within those posting rates, I'd love to see as much role-play from each of you as you feel comfortable with. Particularly good role-play can potentially earn things like circumstance bonuses on various rolls.
That's it for the most part. As far as start date goes, I'd like to have everyone dotted in and getting warmed up on Friday, April 20, then we'll really get things going after the weekend on Monday, April 23. For now, please provide the requested info for your character using the template below. You can also dot in on the gameplay thread with your character of choice. Player:
With all that out of the way, all that remains is for me to say thanks again for joining me, and happy gaming!
You are hastily summoned to the Lorespire Complex by Venture-Captain Arvin. For now, the venture captain appears to be attending to business outside of his office, giving you time to converse among yourselves and to get to know one another.
Venture Captain Sheila Heidmarch was the one to summon you to Magnimar before you set out aboard the Winking Wyvern in the morning, but she is not the only one with interest in your expedition to Rivenrake Island. Letters from your various faction leaders arrive almost as soon as you set foot in the Lodge in Magnimar. Grand Lodge:
Loyal Pathfinder,
It is my understanding that the excavation on Rivenrake Isle has been a long and most grueling effort for the workers hired by the Society. The Aspis Consortium spreads rumors that we treat people in our employ with brutality. As we wish to maintain a reputation as a fair and humane employer, see to it that any of the workers who may have sustained injury in the course of their labors receives appropriate care. The archaeologists and agents can see after themselves (they’re loyal Pathfinders, after all), but effort must be exerted to prove that the Society has a proper concern for even our laborers. Success! Venture-Captain Ambrus Valsin Silver Crusade:
Champion of Light,
It has been brought to my attention that your mission calls you into the ruins of Bakrakhan—a place known for depravity and violence. Our prayers go with you in that dark place, where I hope you can bring some light. Cults in Bakrakhan were said to have appalling practices such as sacrificing unwilling victims, malforming their bones and bodies into inhuman forms, and displaying the preserved bodies in their temples like trophies. If you should come across such unfortunates, anoint their remains with the holy oil I provide with this note. We believe this simple act releases souls suffering unspeakable torment. May Right Prevail, Ollysta Zadrian Cheliax/Dark Archive:
Treasured Plaything,
Your task on Rivenrake Island puts you in close proximity to an errant servant of mine who appears to have forgotten her commitments. Halla Beusophis is a Pathfinder archaeologist of some skill working at the Xin-Bakrakhan dig site. She has failed to follow through on a contract signed with me. I require that you firmly remind her of her legal obligations which seems to have slipped her mind—doubtlessly the fault lies in my sweet and indulgent nature. Persuade dear Halla that wisdom lies in abiding by the terms of our contract regarding “the Egorian business”—use those words, and also inform her that I will soon pay a visit to Egorian myself. Remind her that I upheld my end of the bargain, and she has yet to do the same. My Most Tender Regards, Paracountess Zarta Dralneen Qadira/The Exchange:
Servant of the Satrap,
A sea journey lies in your immediate future and I require that you bear a gift to the captain of your ship. Haerla Skolet is her name. Our sources report that she has family in Janderhoff’s mercantile community. Present her with the enclosed jeweled sextant and request that she serve as an agent of our interests—future rewards would be forthcoming. As a way of sealing this little deal, ask that she reveal the names of two Janderhoff trade officials who might be ripe for a bit of blackmail or bribery. Those names are worth far more than the six gems fixed to the sextant. As always, let discretion be your watchword. Warmest Regards, Trade Prince Aaqir al’Hakam Andoran/Liberty's Edge:
Agent of Liberty,
The Vanderales merchant family based in Magnimar sometimes hires out skilled labor to landowners and organizations around Varisia. They have a reputation for ruthlessness with such laborers and deal harshly with anyone stirring up unrest. We wish to establish a clandestine presence within this organization as a means of fomenting reform. However, as yet we don’t have the trust of Magnimar’s common people. Vanderales workers are employed at the dig on Rivenrake where your assignment leads you. Please use your powers of persuasion to convince one of them to carry the enclosed message to One-Leg Betram, a well-regarded Vanderales middle manager in the city sympathetic to our concerns. He is more likely to greet our overtures favorably if they come from a Vanderales worker. For Freedom! Major Colson Maldris Osirion/Scarab Sages:
Loyal Seeker of Knowledge,
We are most interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the faiths of the ancient Thassilonians, since the curse that has befallen the Ruby Prince came from that ancient place. Your trip to the Rivenrake dig offers the perfect opportunity. Should you come upon any priestly vestments, shrine engravings, or other religious accoutrements, please examine them for inscriptions or interesting designs, making precise copies for our further investigation. Your efforts to expand our comprehension of antiquity are most appreciated, and it may be the key to healing the Ruby Prince—blessings be upon his exalted name. With Duty to Our Ancestors, Amenopheus, the Sapphire Sage Taldor/Sovereign Court: Agent of the Empire,
It’s been said that in order to secure the future, one must first secure the past. A rather precious item was pilfered from an excavation sponsored by the crown a few years back—a rare jade figurine of a two-headed lion. This item is an insignia of a prominent house which has since relocated to Magnimar. If we can retrieve this item, perhaps we can reinvigorate the sense of aristocracy they once had in Taldor. The thief was reportedly an archaeologist and foreigner—Keleshite, I believe—named Kovo Murse. I understand your most recent endeavor takes you to his latest dig on Rivenrake Island. Our agents have surmised that Murse has kept the lion for himself. I require that you retrieve it, through use of reason or wrath, I care not which—deal how you see fit with one who would steal our national heritage from us. For the Everlasting Glory of the Empire, Lady Gloriana Morilla

Welcome to Gameday VI and to my game of 'The Midnight Mauler'!
Welcome and thanks for signing up for this run of the Scions of the Sky Key series, folks! First off, I must confess that this is my second time in the GM seat, so we may have one or two sketchy spots here and there, but I'm always open to constructive criticism and advice, so we can definitely still have a great time. I've been playing PFS for about 2 years now, about two thirds of which has included PBP as a venue. I mention this to reassure you that, despite my relative lack of experience on this side of the table, I do value the game and will do my best to make it a fun experience for all. With that in mind, here are a few expectations that I will hold for myself as well as my players: 1) Please try to maintain a posting rate of 1+ post/weekday. Weekends are almost always busier for me than weekdays in one way or another, so I may or may not post during that timeframe. I'd accept the same from you.
That's it for the most part. As far as start date goes, I'll get things going once the Blood Under Absalom special wraps up. For now, please visit the On the Table link above or the SoSK link in my header, head to the second page, and fill in the requested info for your character. You can also dot in on the gameplay thread with your character of choice. One final note: James, I noticed the two characters you listed as available for this series were in different sub-tiers. It looks like everyone else is low sub-tier, which means you could still play your higher tier character, but would just the out of tier rewards for the scenarios if you chose to do so. Just wanted to let you know your options! With all that out of the way, all that remains is for me to say thanks again for joining me, and happy gaming!
Welcome, one and all, to PFS 6-10 The Wounded Wisp! First off, I must confess that this is my first ever attempt in the GM seat, so we may have one or two sketchy spots here and there.

Weekends are almost always busier for me than weekdays in one way or another, so I may or may not post during that timeframe. I'd accept the same from you.
That's it for the most part. This will be a bit of a learning process for me, so please be patient. If I make any egregious errors, feel free to call me out on it here in Discussion or in a DM. I'll get things going on Friday, January 13. For now, please visit the On the Table link above, head to the second page, and fill in the requested info for your character. Thanks for joining me, and happy gaming! 
Hey there, GMs! So a few fellow players and I recently were selected for a Northlands Saga campaign. After posting the initial scene of the campaign, however, our GM dropped off the face of the earth. It has now been almost three weeks since that initial post, and we have heard nothing from our wayward GM, despite our group's ongoing RP in the thread and a couple PMs trying to see if he's still with the game. As a result, I'm here representing our group in search of a new GM. We would love to continue the Northlands Saga campaign with what remains of our group (4-5 of our original 6), but are also open to playing a different Norse-themed campaign/AP, and possibly also Reign of Winter. If you would like, we would also be open to you recruiting new players to get our party back to full size. If any of you lovely folks would like to pick up our group, please PM me. You can check out our gameplay thread here. Thanks for your consideration, ladies and gents! |
