You’ve traveled by river boat up the East Sellen river to Restov, the capital of Brevoy. As you disembark, Marcos Farabellus greets you on the docks. He is a man of sturdy build with a bald head and a full beard.

“Ah, agents! So very good to see you! Welcome to Restov. I hope your journey wasn’t too bothersome. This time of year the mosquitoes on the Sellen can be worse than falling face first and buck naked into a patch of poison ivy.” Marcos punctuates his own jest with a bellowing laugh. “Let’s get you all a bit freshened up before I get to the heart of the matter.”

Marcos leads you to a nearby street vendor who sells fried fish and vegetables. He buys each of you a portion and buys himself a skewer of crayfish. While everyone eats and walks, he elaborates on the mission.

“First off, thank you for coming. This is a bit of an unusual ‘mission’, so let me get right to it. I received a challenge recently from Orlaelia Aldori. She’s an up-and-coming swordmaster here in Restov. Claims her students are capable of besting any of mine. Now, I get challenges like that all the time, and normally I ignore them. But this time? Well, there’s a little bit more to it. A double-edged sword, so to speak.” He lets out a small chuckle. “Which is apt, because one of these extras is a sword. Orlaelia has bet Inheritor’s Fury, her old longsword, on this deal. She used to be a Mendevian crusader, you see, and the sword has seen the depths of the Worldwound. It’s a relic in its own right and an item the Society would love to study in depth, not to mention a valuable piece of modern history deserving proper cataloging and preservation.

“While the pursuit of a relic alone would not merit taking you away from your other duties, this challenge also gives us a chance to make new friends and acquaintances in Restov. It’s been a while since the society had an active presence here. Rising to this challenge could give us a friendly rival at worst and some new friends at best.

“Orlaelia, though a veteran of many battles, is still Taldan at heart, from what I know at least, and still loves the arts. So! While this challenge will culminate in a duel between you and her students, she will most likely have a few other tests in mind that go beyond raw combat. Who can say what they’ll be. From what I hear her style is quite practical, but old veterans like us see lessons in the strangest of places.” He smiles, perhaps thinking of similar examples from his own past, though doesn’t elaborate further.

“I’ve opened up Birchwood Hall, our lodge here. Haven’t managed to get all the damp and dust out yet, but that shouldn’t bother us overmuch. I’m sure you’ve all seen much worse during your travels.”

Recruiting for a hopefully speedy run of the Repeatable Quest Series 2 #14 Swordlord's Challenge in support of the Battlecry! playtest.

Replayers welcome and even encouraged. I'd like to run this pretty light on RP and focus on trying out the playtest builds, both as players of them and as teammates.

In order to ensure there's some balance to the party, I'll allow up to 2 Commanders AND up to 2 Guardians. That way there's room for at least 2 other classes at least, and room for some folks that can't or don't want to build playtest characters.

I'd also like to run this in the high-tier as a test of the level 3 playtest builds rather than just level 1. See the Lorespire Playtest Rules page for details on making a level 3 character.

I'd suggest also using messageboard "aliases" instead of committing a character name to a short playtest PBP run, but that's up to you.

You find yourself already gathered and on the trail in Belkzen. Your instructions from Fola Barun were quite clear: enter the Hold of Belkzen and begin your search for Uirch and the Burning Sun hold orcs.

You also carry sealed diplomatic papers meant for Mahja Firehair, inviting the Burning Sun to formally ally with the Pathfinder Society and allow its agents into Belkzen to trade and work with its citizens.

Your comms chime with an urgent assignment from Ehu Hadif. Checking the CC’s on the message, some of you instantly recognize the names of your teammates from that mission to the planet of the giants. It’s no surprise then, when you arrive at the Lorespire briefing room to see Ehu Hadif and Naiaj with a holographic globe of Pholskar floating behind them. They wait patiently, discussing things quietly between themselves as you all take your seats.

Ehu Hadif turns his attention to you as Naiaj focuses on her datapad. “Welcome!” Ehu Hadif exclaims. “Thank you all for responding so quickly. I see we have some of you back for another go at Pholskar, and I recognize a few of the other faces, but why don’t we go around the table and introduce ourselves.”

While we wait to start, please allow me to lay out the ground rules, which are designed for fairness and consistency, while keeping the game moving at a pace to ensure we finish in a timely manner. Note that as part of PaizoCon we have a hard completion date of 2359L US Pacific Time on 22 July.

⚔ Please make it obvious what buffs you have active and what your AC is.

⚔ Miss is always low if a miss chance applies. For example, if there is a 20% miss chance on a melee attack, a result of 1-20 on d100 is a miss.

⚔ I roll group initiative and track character actions. Unless you state you are waiting for another to act, I will adjudicate those actions in the order they were posted to the extent that it makes sense, as those posting later have the benefit of acting based on what’s come before in the thread.

⚔ You may delay to a later position in the initiative sequence as usual.

⚔ If I make a mistake, please let me know, and I will try to make it right. If it’s too far back, too complex to correct, or too minor to matter, we may have to accept it and move on, with the understanding that I will be fair and equitable.

⚔ I generally prefer PCs to roll their own saving throws, miss chances, and Attacks of Opportunity (AoO). It keeps the game moving, and by reducing my workload it means I may be able to make a quick post when I otherwise wouldn’t have had time.

⚔ I like a relatively fast-paced scenario. However, do be aware that my posting can be irregular.

⚔ As such, if you do not post an action within 24 hours from when I invite you to post, I reserve the right to take actions for your character (botting). However, because of my highly unpredictable and erratic work and sleep schedule (see below), that 24 hours is not a hard limit by any means. I encourage, but do not insist, that you have some botting instructions and/or dice macros in your character’s profile especially if you have specific things that they always or never do in combat or have very complex dice rolls for combat.

⚔ If at all possible, please let me know if something comes up that prevents you from posting. Likewise, I will do my best to update you all if I will be much more than 24 hours before my next post.

Nomadical’s unusual life, for those that are unfamiliar:

The name says it all. I’m a long-haul international cargo airline pilot. Many of my work days are spent sleeping as much as I can right up to the wake-up call before a flight, flying one or more 8 to 16 hour legs, then falling into bed at the next hotel. My employer’s jets do not have wifi because the boxes we carry don’t need to check their email or watch movies in flight. So it’s not unusual for me to not be able to post for 30+ hours on occasion. However, when I’m not sleeping or flying, I’m off duty in a hotel somewhere in the world with no responsibilities, and that’s when I can post as much as I need to and keep the game moving along.

Rushed into boarding a Society starship, there was no time for a formal briefing from any of the Society leadership. Even after a few days en route, there's been no official word of where you're going or what your mission is. All you can determine from the preprogrammed Drift course is that the destination is an inhabited but previously unvisited Near Space world named Pholskar.

Recruiting for SFS #2-20, Shades of Spite.

Tier is 7-10.

This is set in Season 2 and is part of the Datch metaplot. It has the Second Seekers (Luwazi Elsebo) tag, and was written by the amazing Vanessa Hoskins.

Three seats are reserved (Sedoriku's Solarian, Farol's mechanic Croaker, and 'Eκάτη.)

So three open seats. I think the three already held for are all low tier.

5 people marked this as FAQ candidate.

The feat Memory Access from the COM has a prerequisite of "Construct type, constructed racial trait, exocortex, or head slot augmentation." (emphasis added)

Looking through AoN, there are exactly zero "head" slot augmentation, although there are 46 "brain" slot augmentations (15 biotech, 7 cybernetic, 7 magitech, 3 necrografts, and 14 species grafts).

Presumably the prerequisite should have said "brain" slot, and possibly have been limited to cybernetic augmentations to match the flavor of the other prereqs, but as written you can't use any augmentations to qualify as there are no "head" slot augmentations available.

FWIW, both HeroLab and Starbuilder prevent you from taking the feat unless you qualify one of the other ways, even if you buy a brain slot item.

Seems like a simple thing, and fairly obvious, so can we get a quick errata or clarification, please.

Grand Lodge 2/5

As I mentioned in this waaay off-topic post, I wish to ask for a reconsideration of legality for an archetype.

Full disclosure, IRL I’m a proud Teamster. My son who also plays in SFS is a member of IATSE, the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, and my parents and ex-wife are former AFGE members. I salute and congratulate the members of United Paizo Workers for their successful organizing effort.

So I have to ask why the poignantly topical Union Organizer archetype can’t be made legal? The archetype itself doesn’t seem to be excessively powerful, and the associated feats are all Society legal.

I understand that the prerequisite: “You must have paid dues on a union membership to take this archetype” isn’t tenable in worldwide Society play, but that doesn’t mean there can’t be a different prereq written specifically for Society play.

I propose: “You must have and maintain 1 skill rank per character level in a Profession skill. The Union that you organize for must be directly related to that Profession skill.”

This would impose an easily verifiable cost on the character, but one which is directly related to the archetype’s concept. Using the phrase “and maintain” ensures that the cost continues. Failing to maintain the skill rank progression would lead to loss of access to the archetype’s benefits. It would provide for a vast amount of role-play opportunities without being unbalanced by any means. And it would show IRL support for the UPW and other hard working union members worldwide.

I therefore hereby petition Org Play leadership to do whatever is needed to make the Union Organizer archetype Society legal somehow.

I'm only asking for a Discord name as an alternate method of communication in case we have extended or frequent issues with the Paizo forums as happened during a PBP con a couple years ago or recently with the whole Cookie Fiasco. If you don't Discord, that's okay; as I said it's just a backup.

If your character has any extremely weird or situation-breaking abilities please let me and your teammates know. I’m not at all opposed to them, I’d just like to know what I’m in for. Also, if you have any always-on abilities, please let me know.

Re: Boon slotting, this scenario has the Second Seekers (Jadnura) tag and does NOT have a starship tag. You can slot boons after the briefing.

I hope to see daily posting with one post on the weekends, please. I will do my best to keep things moving, also in spite of my crazy and unpredictable work schedule. I cannot promise that we’ll be done before Gameday X starts on 6 Sep, so please plan accordingly.

Seeking Scoured Stars Segment Seekers!

Recruiting for Scenario # 1-31, Treading History’s Folly (Tier 3-6).

Read This!:
This is #6 of the eight “Journey to the Scoured Stars Segment” scenarios from Season 1. That’s pretty much public knowledge now, but technically it’s a Chronicle boon, so it’s spoilered.

I’d like to give priority to those trying to close out their Scoured Stars Segment scenario collection. Please list which Segments you have, either by Segment number or by Scenario name or number. Obviously I’d rather give a seat to someone who only lacks this one last Segment over someone that’s only gotten 1 of the 8 or who has never heard of them. I’d also prefer not to allow replays unless absolutely necessary, since having the Segment once is all that is needed. I hope you understand.

Also, preference being given to Ceolor Xusha, Wei Ji the Learner, and Farol if they’re still interested.

The Silver Spoon Inn and Tavern in Kerse fits the description given in Venture-Captain Ambrus Valsin’s letter. Its black marble bar top and gilded chairs are clearly intended to suggest an atmosphere of wealth and luxury, but the tattered seat cushions and faded wall tapestries betray a general slide into disrepair. At this time of day, the tavern is completely empty save for the staff.

A tall, sandy-haired half-orc with rough but pleasant features stands behind the bar, polishing the marble surface with a white cloth. As each of you arrives, he gives you a quick glance before directing you to the meeting room at the back. A simple buffet of breads, sliced meats and cheeses occupies a sideboard alongside a pitcher of clean, clear water. ”If you want something else to drink, just let me know. Ambrus said he’d cover the food, but drinks are on your own accounts. He said he’d be back shortly.”

Introduce yourselves and make yourselves comfortable. Mission briefing will start once everyone has checked in with an intro post.

A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for levels 1-5.

Less than a decade ago, the Pathfinder Society established a lodge in Nirmathas, an act that infuriated the nation's expansionist rival Molthune. The latter outlawed the Society soon after, and ever since Pathfinders have relied on smugglers like the Varisian entrepreneur Guaril Karela to slip supplies past the Molthuni blockade for both the lodge and the Society's war-torn neighbors. Something has intercepted those shipments. Can the PCs uncover the culprit and save the Society's reputation in Nirmathas?

I tried to place an order using the $15 credit from an InterNetGalactic ConQuest Convention Play Voucher. The checkout system says the code is invalid. I sent an email to CS on the 13th with no reply (and not in Spam either). I called multiple times today but only ever got shunted to a full voicemail box.
