Rugnut grabs the sword and eyes the leather armor, comparing it to Breakfast. He packs it up for the time being and mounts back hi p.

The spider's fangs narrowly miss digging into Brekfast. Rugnut commands Breakfast to kill, spends a move action to try to aid Breakfast's AC, then readies to stab the spider if he sees it.
Breakfast is confused about what Rugnut wants him to kill, but readies to bite the stinky spider that tries to bite him.
Rugnut spews out a series of unintelligible syllables, takes a hard and painful-looking swallow, then continues, "And then we kill all longshanks with godbug as big as a mountain!"
Rugnut takes a gold piece and puts it in the safest place he knows: his mouth.
Rugnut eats considerably more than his fill at the feast and eventually falls asleep, snoring soundly in a pool of his own vomit. The next morning, he is ready to go!
"Yes! We demands feasts for goblins and Breakfast!"
"They give us shineys for dead pig?
In his best longshanks-speak, Rugnut greets his new friends. In broken Skald that he learned from a child:: "Kneel, house-slaves, and feed us!"
Rugnut is eager to see his new tribe's lair.
Rugnut tries to pull Breakfast off of Scrabble until he gets bored (approximately 17 seconds) and then wanders off to fall asleep. Breakfast leaves when he's satisfied that Scrabbles wounds are clean, and eventually curls up around Rugnut.
Rugnut picks up one of deadshanks' axes and begins to admire it. When he notices Breakfast chasing after Scrabble, he starts to hustle over there as fast as his stumpy little legs allow. "Breakfast! No! No eat Scrabble!"
"Scrabble can have trap after he get it off of Breakfast. Let Rugnut help."
Rugnut attacks!
Ooh!
Rugnut double moves, fast as his stumpy little legs will carry him. Breakfast bites at his chain again.
Rugnut gives up trying to get Breakfast out for the time being and runs off to kill some longshanks.
Breakfast, frustrated and in pain, bites at the chain restraining him.
Rugnut attempts to Push Breakfast to open the beartrap and also attempts to assist him in doing so.
Womp Womp
Have we rested since the pig and owlbear fights?
Rugnut dismounts and tries to pry open the bear trap holding Breakfast.
That'll hit Breakfast's flat-footed AC. Oh no! He's trapped like a dinosaur caught in a bear trap!
Rugnut urges Breakfast forward quietly up to the cart, to inspect the shinies with his hands.
He cackles gleefully as he does so, less to himself than to everyone within earshot.
Rugnut points at the tracks and tells Breakfast "Find the longshanks!"
I'm going to be pretty swamped for the next week, so my posting may be spottier than usual if things pick up.
Rugnut ties his magnet to a piece of twine and tries to fish for squirrels with it, to determine if they are magnetic.
Rugnut retrieves his boar trap after helping the other goblins chop the boar into many bacons, continuing to mumble his amazing new hit song to himself.
Rugnut and Breakfast both attempt to dodge.
Rugnut continues his inspirational screaming. "BACON BACON BACON BACON BACON, BACON BACON HAM!. Then the pair charge the boar again!
Rugnut begins yelling inspirationally. "BACON BACON BACON BACON BACON, BACON BACON BACON BACON BACON!" +1/+1 hit/damage bla bla bla Breakfast roars and charges forward. Rugnut attempts to aid his attack once he gets close.
"Ooh! We use this then? It like what Scrabbles has. I think it a boar trap." Rugnut pulls a rusty bear trap out of his pack and tosses it to the ground.
Is okay! We find PIGGIEEE.
Not knowing the ways of things, Rugnut attempts to throw a frog.
But....5 is bigger than 3 or 2.
Towards da piggie!
Rugnut lets out a mighty hoot as the creature falls. WE DA BEST AND RUGNUT BESTEST, NOT KNOWINGS TRIBE BEATS ALL THE RESTEST!" He continues carrying on as Breakfast circles the body, sniffing at it. Eventually he dismounts and slugs Scrabble on the shoulder congratulatorily. "Good ridings, blowear very scary."
Rugnut points at himself and yells out "THERE GOES MY HERO, WATCH HIM AS HE GOES!" as he and Breakfast charge. Performance continues, +1 attack and damage, round 3/7. Challenge also gives +1 to melee attacks for allies while Rugnut threatens his target.
Rugnut levels his sword at their new for and shouts out a challenge, "Face me and die, owlybear!" Then he continues his incredibly inspiring song as he spurs Breakfast forward towards the beast. "BEARY SPLEEN OR HEART OF OWL, WE SORT IT OUT WHEN WE DISEMBOWEL!"
+1 to attack and damage to everyone, rd 2/7
Rugnut warms up his throat with a phlegmy cough, then starts spewing out encouragement to his new tribe. "DODGE THE BEAK, PLUCK ITS FEATHERS,
Initiative?
Located and ready to rumble. Scrabble, you gonna ride the owlbear?
Rugnut splashes out of the water and mounts up.
Rugnut splashes about until he stabs at least one fish.
It may take a while.
Rugnut dismounts at the water's edge and starts to rummage through saddlebags with a sly grin. He pulls threads one end of his twine through a fishing hook and ties a knot in it, then grabs a breathing tube with a lilypad on one end (for hiding!) and jumps into the water to stab fishies with the fish hook. He's pretty sure that's how fishing works.
That's totally understandable, and thanks for the heads-up. Best wishes for a speedy and safe recovery.
Hahaha we're going to get to the Outpost eventually and the owners will be dead of fright.
Rugnut gets up in the morning and has a quick meal of lukewarm bug guts, then exits the cave, helping to bring up any loot and bug parts that need to be brought up,then mounts up on Breakfast. He points in a random direction and asks "Okay, piggie dis way?"
Does anyone object to sleeping, then going after the boar?
Yeah unfortunately it sounds like even 4 hours of travel with it isn't going to get us anywhere useful.
Choo choo, all aboard the bug train!
If it's going to take a while to get anywhere else, does it make sense to sleep here since it's relatively secure? Understood that that would mean bad things for the skelebug.

First off, thank you all for being willing to come on an adventure with me! Now, to business.

If you're worried or concerned about any of these expectations, or about anything related to this game, post it here or PM me. We can figure something out so you have a good time. In addition to making “reactive” rolls for characters, I'll also be rolling Recall Knowledge and other secret checks for players so we don't have to wait for a back-and-forth between player and GM. To that end, I tailor what a character might remember about a creature. (For example, a fighter will probably care more about a golem’s DR while a wizard would remember that it’s immune to spells and an alchemist is super excited that it blows up when it dies.) Let me know what your character is most concerned about with an opponent when you take the action to Recall Knowledge or Seek - otherwise, I'll use my best judgment. If this will be a problem for you, let me know (either here or via PM) and we’ll work something out. We’ll be using block initiative during encounters.

The dusty roads and wave-tossed ships have been left behind, abandoned for forest paths enclosed in boughs of emerald leaves. The air is cool, heavy with the smell of vegetation and rich soil. Birds sing peacefully overhead and wolves howl in the distance. But this is no walk in the park.

The Grand Lodge is always one of the busiest places in the busy city at the center of the world, but today the halls seems even more packed and chaotic than usual. Junior members of the Pathfinder Society and staff hurry back and forth across polished stone floors while senior agents sit in alcoves or retire to private chambers.

Having made several recent forays into a set of unearthed ruins in the volcanic region of Droskar’s Crag, the Pathfinder Society has uncovered what could be an access point to a lost dwarven city. Agents from across Golarion have been summoned to the site - you among them.

The road to Kaer Maga was long, but the journey uneventful. As the Pathfinders find the Drunken Fool tavern, they have a chance to rest for the evening and share dinner with their companions before the expedition the following day.

Since this game is part of a multi-table special, we will be moving at an especially quick pace. One thing I have found very handy in previous scenarios like this is a place for players and GM to communicate rapidly - posting notices of who is up in initiative or asking for a clarification on something.

The grounds of the Grand Lodge are abuzz with whispers and nervous energy as countless Pathfinders congregate wherever they can find a bit of room to stand. Rumors abound of what the Decemvirate might have summoned this many agents for, each more outlandish than the next. As the sun rose, you were directed to find your fellow teammates at the closer end of the Wall of Names, a stone wall that winds through trees and parks with the name of every lost or fallen agent inscribed upon it. This close to Skyreach, the names and dates written on this section are from some of the earliest members of the Society. The sun slowly lifts the chill from the air, replacing it with gentle breezes that carry the faintest hint of autumn.
The sun shines through the large windows of one of the Grand Lodge's best libraries, illuminating motes of dust that drift idly through the air. It is no surprise that Sorrina Westyr, Master of Spells, would ask you to meet her here - the shelves lining the walls hold books on topic ranging from practical applications of transmution spells to analysis and predictions on rainfall several decades in the future based on astrological signs, as well as everything in between - in short, a perfect place for a wizard. Large comfortable chairs sit scattered around the room, several nestled around small tables or tucked into reading nooks for privacy.

The Minstrel's Midwife is probably not the oddest inn in Varisia, but it's certainly within the top five. Garish streams of colored scarves hang from every possible surface, and the air smells strongly of cinnamon and cloves. There's no denying that Madame Zolstra's breakfast pastries are well worth her eccentricities as an innkeep though, and her wife keeps everyone's cups filled well into the night. All in all, an experience every visitor to Korvosa should partake in at least once according to the local tour guides. In the late morning hours, a group of Pathfinder agents sit on heavily-decorated couches as they finish their breakfast and other daily preparations, and several re-read their letter from Master of Scrolls Kreighton Shaine detailing their current mission between bites of fruit tarts and yogurt sweetened with honey.

Because this game is part of a multi-table special, we will be operating under a time limit. To avoid situations where a player or GM needs to wait for more information before posting, I have found it very helpful in the past to have some sort of instant-messaging channel for quick questions or clarifications. Google Hangouts is my preferred medium, but I'm open to suggestions. Let me know what you think in your initial post (more directions below). If your post is entirely out of character , let’s put it here instead of in the Gameplay thread. About Me: I’ve done a bit of PFS and PbP GMing, but I am certainly not perfect. If you have ideas for how I could do something better, a disagreement with a decision, or confusion over what I’m saying, please let me know via the Discussion thread or PM. For your first post here, please use the Reply option on the following post, delete the [quote'] tags, and fill in the provided fields. And be sure to pop over to the Gameplay thread and dot in!
The Grand Lodge in Absalom is abuzz with activity - it seems most every active Pathfinder has been summoned, though nobody is quite sure why. You have been asked to gather in one of the private study rooms off the main floor while the Venture-Captains and other leaders prepare for what certainly looks like a monumental undertaking.
First off, thank you all for being willing to come on an adventure with me! Now, to business. Expectations
If you're worried or concerned about any of these expectations, or about anything related to this game, post it here or PM me. We can figure something out so you have a good time. In addition to making “reactive” rolls for characters, I also like to roll Knowledge checks for players so I can tailor what a character might remember about a creature. (For example, a fighter will probably care more about a golem’s DR while a wizard would remember that it’s immune to spells and an alchemist is super excited that it blows up when it dies.) Let me know what your character is most concerned about with an opponent - otherwise, I'll use my best judgement. If this will be a problem for you, let me know (either here or via PM) and we’ll work something out. We’ll be using block initiative during encounters. Actions will be resolved in the order that they were posted in. While this can do some weird things with a single character acting "twice" before another, it is easier for both players and GM to track the sequence of events this way. I highly encourage tactics such as:
I will happily calculate the final result in these cases. This helps us work effectively as a team even if posting schedules don’t line up in a beneficial way.

I can use the channel to alert players to posts, and players can ask quick questions without having to delay their posts while waiting for an answer. Which program would you prefer to use?

The journey to the steppes of Varisia is long, but the views are almost as breathtaking as the other travelers sharing the roads. At a lonesome wayside inn, the Pathfinders have a chance to rest for the evening and share dinner with their companions before setting out once more the following day.

The road to Kaer Maga was long, but the journey uneventful. As the Pathfinders find the Drunken Fool tavern, they have a chance to rest for the evening and share dinner with their companions before the expedition the following day.

Colorful wooden shields and weathered antlers hang upon the deck girdling this rustic public house. Overhead, a sign carved with crenellations bears the name “The Last Stand Tavern” - the letters “L” and “T” formed with painted green-fletched arrows Inside, a hooded figure sits alone at a table for five. Drunken revelry and sloshy singing easily mask the sound of a small knife being unsheathed and rapidly resheathed repeatedly below the table. Green eyes glare from beneath the hood at a drunk that wanders too close to the secluded alcove, their gaze almost as sharp as the dagger that suddenly appears in her hand before disappearing just as quickly. "So, we finally meet face to face," she says with a grin. "So tell me, why would you be a better hire than any of those booze-soaked louts over there? I can't afford any... liabilities on this job."

The journey from Absalom to Sargava is mostly uneventful - the most excitement coming from being blown slightly off course by a squall spun off from the Eye of Abendego. Then the walking began to the small town of Fort Bandu, where a contingent of Pathfinders had been summoned regarding the work of one Venture-Captain Nieford Sharrowsmith. The long trip, while taxing, does provide plenty of time for the agents to get to know one another.

Two weeks ago, Osprey showed up at the Grand Lodge in Absalom, his features shadowed by the long cowl of his heavy leather cloak, his unmistakable voice a sullen whisper of both mystery and urgency. “A grim shadow creeps over Absalom, one that threatens all of us. We know not its source or even its purpose, and need answers to secrets only known to the dead. Your task is one of great importance and urgency. You must retrieve the bones of the ancient mystic Amao from his cairn and bring them to me so our seers can contact his spirit. We need to contact him before these dark forces track his spirit down in the worlds beyond and devour him. Take extra care on this mission, for the Aspis Consortium also dearly desires these bones and their secrets. Amao’s bones rest in a cairn atop a mountain. Go to Cania’s Drop, a small waystation high in the Fog Peaks along the border of Southern Galt. There you will meet with an ex-Pathfinder named Rysam Aklon who will provide you with equipment and directions to Amao’s cairn. You shall hear from me again once you complete your mission, but for now may the gods speed you on your way.” Now, here in the foothills of a wintery southern Galt, bitter winds blister skin and numbness settles into exposed extremities. While Absalom isn’t known for its sunshine, at least its foggy shores are more favorable than the bone-brittling cold of the Fog Peaks. Before you lies your destination, a mountain waystation run by exiles and recluses.

This module starts at level 1 and has the potential to reach level 7 before concluding. It would be beneficial to me as a GM to have at least a rough idea of where each character’s build is heading, so think about the following and let me know as much as possible:
With only four players, it would be beneficial to ensure there are no large skills/abilities missing from the party. Discuss ideas amongst yourselves here and we'll get started when everyone is ready. About Me: I’ve done a bit of PFS and PbP GMing, but I am certainly not perfect. If you have ideas for how I could do something better, a disagreement with a decision, or confusion over what I’m saying, please let me know via the Discussion thread or PM. Alright, your turn - what kind of character do you want to play?
It was an uneventful journey from Dunholme to Wispil, but Silas Gribb said he wanted extra security for his caravan “just in case”. It became rather apparent why he was worried when he was promptly arrested on charges of smuggling upon entering the small town of Belhaim. As the sheriff and several deputies marched Silas and his caravan south to Cassomir, the extra caravan hands Silas had hired were left un-arrested, but also un-employed and un-paid. Offered free room and board "at least for a few days - give you a chance to get your bearings" at the Wise Piper Inn by its young proprietor Talia Orem, the four companions sit in the common room over supper and discuss their options.

Please have your entire character sheet available in your character’s profile page and basic statistics next to your name in your posts. Feel free to ask me for more details or assistance. To keep things moving, I will occasionally roll saving throws, Perception checks, and other “reactionary” dice - especially if the results would affect an opponent’s actions.

You received a letter from Master of Swords, Marcos Farabellus. In it, he asked you urgently to meet him at a safe house on the outskirts of Merab. When you arrived, an agent disguised as a beggar led you through the urban sprawl of the city to a small estate near the city docks. An estate guard escorted you inside, saying, ”Please wait in the study. Get to know your friends,” before leaving.
