Mirror Universe Reiko, Assassin Aspirant:
Mirror Universe Iconic Reiko CR 3
----- Defense -----
----- Offense -----
----- Tactics -----
During Combat Reiko maneuvers herself to make use of her sneak attacks, either feinting an opponent within 5 feet or using allies to flank. Reiko excels at fighting in a defensive stance, and always uses Combat Expertise. She tries to single out enemies that seem to have weak a fortitude, such as spell casters, first to make her poisons have maximum effect. If cornered, Reiko will use vanishing trick and her acrobatics skill to escape. Morale Reiko knows that a quick success means less chance of discovery. Reiko will attempt to kill foes quickly but does not hesitate to use her last vanishing trick to escape if she feels that the battle will result in her capture or if faced with an unwinnable situation. ----- Statistics -----
Backstory (Adapted from PFS Pregenerated Character Sheet):
Reiko’s mother had no wish for her only daughter to follow the path of a ninja, but Reiko was pulled into it after their home was overrun. Her mother was brutally murdered before her and she was taken by a clan of bandits. After surviving for several torturous years in servitude she witnessed the bandits mercilessly slaughtered by ninja after the bandit leader had begun demanding tribute from the local area and disrupting trade. Driven by the fear of the possibility of becoming a victim again, Reiko has devoted herself to learning the killing arts that she saw that night. By using the ways of subtlety and disguise, she has set her eyes on becoming the most accomplished assassin in the Inner Sea.

Very interesting, I might have to find a group for my Venture-Captain Holy Vindicator. ** spoiler omitted **That's not entirely true K-Ris. Mickey never signed a contract with any devil or demon. :P True, Mickey's caravan visiting once in a while to his hidden Lodge in Dalun is probably the only friendly face he sees while trying to search for a way to deal with Fey's End and prevent the twisting of the Fey who raised him.
Why a 13 point buy on the pregenerated human spell-casting villains (cleric, inquisitor) when the non-humans and human fighter got 15 point buys? (I was assuming their floating +2 to a stat was put in their highest stat when checking the point buys).
I was wondering if the items in the subject order will be shipped with my January subscription. The order has been pending and the items not in my sidecart since the order was submitted.
Eastern Weapons - Ultimate Combat
Armor & Shields Table - Ultimate Equipment
I know that Ultimate Equipment doesn't have an errata or a more recent printing, but having the same equipment listed at different prices is strange, especially since most people will check the Ultimate Equipment book/pages prior to doing a search that would show the Ultimate Combat results.
This is a neat concept, I already had theory crafted up a thrower that throws weapons (I was thinking of throwing javelins, Greataxes, or something similar, but throwing enemies sounds so much more fun). Standard ranged feats will help (point-blank, precise, deadly aim) Two-handed thrower and quick draw could help you throw the people you have grappled (brawler two weapon fighting to grapple and then throw? seems fun) Charging hurler - really unload your enemy into his bro Perfect Style (Unfolding Wind) & Unfolding Wind Strike (get a ki pool and then double your range increment of thrown weapons, maybe you can make the people you are throwing returning or seeking with the use of ki? probably will need a laid back GM to make the returning work, but would be hilarious the first time you do it)
Just as a note, I did not read any of the prior posts in this tread, only the thread title. Yes you are being a dick, no the paladin should not fall. (Unless the paladin lit an orphanage on fire or signed away his free will for wishes to a devil on a contract he was allowed to read prior to his signing and ignored the warning by his Phylactery of Faithfulness that you gave him after the 1st 'boss' encounter at 1st level, or similar unambiguously heinous and not considerable marginally evil act, then yes you can make him fall, but at that point the paladin already made the conscious decision to and wanted to fall)
There are multiple smalls in the Occult Iconics (Yoon, Meligaster) so it might be possible if WizKids makes enough money on set 6.
How do you get Weapon Focus at level 1? Monks have a 0 BAB at level 1. If you mean an Unchained Monk, archetypes aren't legal for PFS.
WHAT? WHY? When this 0 level spell exists (WHICH IS FROM THE SAME BOOK /mindboggle):
I really don't see why the Decemvirate hasn't just made a printing press with this spell in it and permanency to make some sort of magical copying machine. It would have to save them time and money. Back on topic:
While I like the cover, he rolled an 18 (the side parallel with the table).

Why the watermarks?
Any update on this?
I have still yet to get my Dungeons Deep case. I got the Gargantuan Red Dragon, and the Adventure Path #94, but the UPS tracking number I was given for the case still shows as not yet shipped.
So, is there a FAQ planned to explain which existing archetypes are compatible with the unchained classes? If no, will there be any player companions that add archetypes or convert existing archetypes to the unchained classes (similar to occult origins, advanced class origins, etc.)?
Gray Warden, you have a well written thread here and I hope that it receives a FAQ or at least an answer in thread. I have a PFS Tiefling Grenadier Alchemist 3, and I apply my alchemical mixtures to arrows or if the enemy has high armor/low touch, but is out of bomb range or I am out of bombs, apply mixtures to dye arrows, no 1d8 damage but is against touch AC at longbow ranges.
Yeah you can use them for that module, but they have 15 point buys and are level 1. The time where the 15 point buy is most disadvantageous is at level 1. I played as the oracle the one time I used a pregen of the two times I have played it and realized late that she has an 8 con and would go unconscious (and probably die from bleeding out) after tripping on a rock. That being said, I would love to see all of the APG classes as pregens because not enough people play cavaliers or inquisitors, and almost every oracle I see is of the life mystery. Seeing Balazar and Padrig as an unchained pregen and maybe getting people to try out different classes would be really awesome. You get a great feeling when a new player describes what they want their character to be/do and you hand them a pregen to try out for their first or second game and they are excited after the game because the core of the class is exactly what they wanted and they can fine tune the parts they want to change/did not like or understand.
All of the spaces that I GM or play PFS are shared spaces, so they too have problems with noise. Some days are better than others, but cons are especially bad (sharing a large room with many other games) and I end up shouting for hours on end to make sure my players can understand everything in the scenario. A full bag of cough drops and several bottles of water are standard equipment for myself now.
I'm posting to get in before all the milk is gone from the fridge. I get why they wanted this to go live as soon as the book was released. I think most (probably would never be all when removing/limiting options are involved) of the issues would have been avoided if this post went up next Monday or was a special post later this week (Wednesday night or Thursday morning) after the book was on sale to the general public as a pdf at the least.
Order 3458156 has been pending since 4/10/15, and the order states that the payment authorization expires 4/17/15.
LN or LE Inquisitor of Abadar (Infiltrator Archetype) Domains: (There seem to be a few that would work)Conversion Inquisition (Get those deadbeats to be upstanding citizens who always pay their taxes early!) Heresy Inquisition (Tax Havens?!?! NOT IN MY GOLARION!) Inevitable (Death & Taxes) Law (Maybe also pick up Profession: Barrister and go tax lawyer) Order Inquisition (You always count EVERY LAST COIN) Recovery Inquisition (Audit & Repossess) Reformation Inquisition (Root out the corrupt tax collectors who skim off the top!)
I agree, I would add up all the damage and apply the DR as per Clustered Shots. The adamantine bullet would all go through, but the use of normal bullets would negate the usefulness of the adamantine bullet. If the creature had hardness instead of DR, you would apply the full damage from the adamantine bullet and calculate damage for each normal bullet minus the hardness individually, Clustered Shots doesn't help against hardness, just DR. The way I see it, the feat allows you to shoot arrows/bullets/bolts in a tight formation to overcome DR, it doesn't let you pull off a robin hood arrow in arrow in arrow every time you shoot. The player was probably trying to do this to lower the cost of using adamantine bullets or more likely adamantine alchemical cartridges (paper). This is where that player should have paid 50g for an oil of abundant ammunition and not worry about shooting all his money into a robot.
Are the paladins stealing your milk without asking or something?
Is it that much of a problem of a level 10 (minimum level to do this) to be able to have a single 16d6 attack each round? Average damage of 56 for a whole round at level 10 seems fairly weak to me, when you could have barbarian/AC/eidolon pounce or arcane blasting/magus doing much more than this in a single round.
Seems like if I'm going style feats I might as well go MoMS just not sure what alternatives I would choose instead of the monk levels and those featsThe problem is that if you want to go barbarian, you can't go Master of Many Styles because of alignment restrictions. He plans on bypassing that restriction with taking the adopted trait to get the enlightened warrior aasimar trait which allows you to be a N or NG monk.
Wait, what? Can you point that rule out to me Skylancer? I seem to have completely missed it in here. :oI'm surprised that no one has brought up the fact that the claws are moot in the build no matter how you get them because claws are Bludgeoning and not Piercing and therefore don't get the Weapon Finesse from Swashbuckler. I also would like to know. I had read almost every post prior posting to my comment and just reread the thread now. I was still unable to find what allowed the swashbuckler's special weapon finesse (and thus agile, piranha strike, etc.) to claws. If the feral combat training feat was taken and applied to claws, I could see it work though.
You can take the enlightened warrior aasimar trait through adopted BigNorseWolf! Yay barbarian/monk! Ah, I didn't see this. An interesting trait.
How are you guys getting the claws to work with the mouser finesse? Claws are Bludgeoning and Slashing and not Piercing and therefore don't get the Weapon Finesse from Swashbuckler.
I'm surprised that no one has brought up the fact that the claws are moot in the build no matter how you get them because claws are Bludgeoning and Slashing and not Piercing and therefore don't get the Weapon Finesse from Swashbuckler.
Stuff I always assumed that the Andoran art (this is the same image as in the ISWG for Andoran) was an homage to Liberty Leading the People, which is one of the more famous paintings of the personified godess of liberty/freedom (many of which were also used by colonial and post-revolutionary USA as well as revolutionary France).
You didn't take Stalwart prior to taking Improved Stalwart.
If you want to upgrade your Roc's armor more you could go with +1 Mithral Kikko Armor (for a large creature that is 5120g). Will give +6 armor bonus, +6 max dex, 0 armor penalty - so you don't ever need to spend feats on armor proficiency. The +1 Darkleaf Lamellar Leather is nice and cheap too tho.
A +3 Holy Adamantine weapon is about 53 000 gold pieces. Yeah, 53000gp of Awesome. Plus he is Oath of Vengance, that screams Holy Weapon (to me). He could easily not go to +3 (stay at +1 maybe), and just use smite evil or hope power attack helps get damage through DR. His weapon is already Adamantine so he doesn't need to worry about DR/adamantine or Hardness 20 or less. But With his Dex/Reach build, combat reflexes would be a great investment. He could even go for Fortuitous enhancement (+1 equiv.) from the Advanced Class Guide to make it so he can take a 2nd AoO on a target at a -5 to hit.
I didn't respond to the weapon question, because I don't really know the best answer. You'll be able to use Holy a lot more often, but it's an extra +1 enchantment over Bane, which is not an insignificant cost. I'd rather have a Holy weapon, if the cost isn't an issue. I'd rather have a holy weapon as well. The bane thing I would only do if my PC was running into a specific type of enemy over and over and developed a hatred. A +3 Holy Adamantine [Weapon] overcomes any DR other than non DR/Good alignments.
If you have over 10 LoH/day you could think about getting the Feat Ultimate Mercy. Basically it gives the party free raise deads at the end of any scenario. I also love the Deathless enhancement for Armor, Resist Energy 10 for any positive or negative energy damage to harm you, 25% chance to ignore any negative levels from an attack.
Depends on what your character has been encountering. Played in lots of scenarios with undead? Undead bane can be handy. Seen lots of demons/daemons/devils? Evil Outside bane probably will help out.
In addition to the excellent options provided by previous posters, consider these if you don't feel like you need the Silver Smite Bracers: Bracers of the Merciful Knight Source Ultimate Equipment pg. 272 Aura moderate conjuration; CL 9th Slot wrist; Price 15,600 gp; Weight 1 lb. Description:
I got my first case subscription, and though I like the sculpts and most of the painting (I agree with an earlier person that the face on the shifty noble woman was lacking), all of my City Watch Snipers (3) came with the bases separated and Haughty Avengers (3) came with their right arms detached from their bodies. I think I like the 55 piece sets better, as like Skeld and others described their cases, there were tons of repeats (got 4~6 of many of the seemingly common mediums and larges). My favorites are the Hill Giant Chief and the Pazuzu (whenever my Tengu drinks an enlarge potion, this will be my go-to mini!).
I saw the change and was wondering the same thing as the OP. After reading the thread, I would lean towards grey area for RAW, but probably it is not Intended to work in the way strong monks might want it to. I have a slightly off-topic question that deals with Dragon Ferocity, if I were to use weapon finesse and have an agile AotMF and be in Dragon Style with Dragon Ferocity would I be correct in doing x2 Dex for the first attack and then x1.5 Dex for any other attack, as the agile quality uses Dex in place of Str?
Thanks, so I'll definitely save my idea for a home game then.
I'm not sure in that blog post where anyone definitively says that animals can't use weapons. I know that James Jacobs does say that he doesn't like animals being smart, but nothing about animals not using weapons. Jason Bulmahn seems to say that it is up to GMs to rule whether it is allowed or not.

Did any of Paizo's designers or the PFS leadership make a ruling somewhere not in the blog or in the blog's discussion thread? I can understand not wanting ACs running around with swords or kukris, etc. I didn't think armor spikes would be necessarily different from an ACs nature of attacking, since it would be using it's body to attack. I think I'll shelve my idea for a home campaign that I could convince the GM to let me use though, as having my AC build nixed by a GMs decision would probably be maddening.

Any GM Glyphs to share?
In the event that a player is expected for more than 24 hours in combat or another situation where we're waiting on that person, I may bot you. I will not use any consumable resources unless asked. If you'd like to share some bot instructions, great! On the Slides (also linked in the header), you'll find space to add your character information and token and to set a general marching order.
Make sure there's a character sheet accessible in your profile. It looks like we're in high tier with a level 1 character1. Remember the level 1 gets 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 spark of battle lights! With Cheliax sending the Hellknight Order of the Rack into Breachill and publicly executing several innocent citizens, the Steel Falcons of Andoran—an elite faction of the Eagle Knights—have decided to take a public stand and liberate the town. In preparation for this attack, Andira Marusek reached out to her contact in the Pathfinder Society, Venture-Captain Brackett for some on the ground assistance, particularly in getting the civilians to safety.

Absalom Station is the heart of the galaxy thanks to the Starstone Reactor at its core, which acts as a hub for Drift travel. But life as a member of the Pact Worlds isn’t always easy! Over the past decade, the Pact Worlds have been hit by disaster after disaster, culminating in the recent explosion of the planet Aucturn, in truth a cosmic womb that birthed a nascent godling known as the Newborn. Representatives from the Absalom Station Foundation are hosting a live-streamed charity event to aid those affected by tragedy. This event is the Great Absalom Relay, and it’s shaping up to be the hottest charity event of the year, with viewers from throughout the Pact Worlds and Near Space tuning in. A team of Starfinder Society field agents have been selected to participate. But before we get to all of that, why don't you introduce yourselves?

The Seekers’ Quest is a large ship of the line with two lower gun decks mounting seventy-four guns, three square-rigged masts, and a crew of nearly 500 sailors dedicated to the Pathfinder Society. In many ways, she is the equal of nearly any vessel in the Inner Sea, and many of the more vicious pirate ships plying local seas. Over her years in Pathfinder service, she’s been captained by four of the most prestigious sailors allied with the Pathfinder Society and today is no different.

Please fill out the Slides (linked above) with your character's token and information and your marching order.

Nova Rush would be a nice ship—if you weren’t locked in the brig! You were captured by pirates a week ago, and your life since has become a monotonous nightmare. The food’s bland, time passes at a crawl, pirates are constantly threatening to hurt you, and you’ve all got to share a makeshift cell. You know who to blame for your troubles: Captain Phaedra Firestorm! She’s been digging into your past, trying to determine if you’re worth more alive or dead. Time is running short.

I just encountered something pretty strange... One of my PFS characters just leveled up. I play pbp on the forums, so I keep a full character sheet in my character profiles. I edited that character's profile for the level up, clicked "Save" and... landed on a different character's profile? Which had been overwritten with the information I just saved. The profile I was editing was unchanged. For a moment I thought it was user error, that I'd opened the wrong profile--but that doesn't make any sense. I didn't completely rewrite it, just updated numbers and added a couple things. None of that information was in the other character's profile to begin with. If I'd edited the wrong one, it wouldn't have had that.

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.

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?
