A while back, your adventuring party discovered a strange book, containing incomplete case files from the Pathfinder Society's Dark Archive. Every now and then, the book suddenly flips to a certain page, and as you read it you find yourself getting drowsy... and then wake in the right place to investigate the unresolved matter. Only to later wake up back where you started. This, according to the book, is the somnambulist's bridge. And now it's happening again. The book's pages flutter to an entry near the back, in the section labeled "Temporal Anomalies."
The Golden Fortune case reported in Goka is one that's caught my eye for some time, though I confess not fr the most unbiased of reasons--it's been far too long since I visited my father's hometown, and I'm sure my uncles would appreciate a visit. Nevertheless, our archivists detected signs of a strange anomaly around one of its many restaurant boats: a stuttering region that swallows people and spits them out later, stumbling and disoriented. --K.H.W. As the drowsiness overtakes you, you open your eyes again to find yourselves deposited on a riverside dock near the Balance Bridge in Goka, the greatest metropolis in Tian Xia. Goka's docks buzz with busy energy as the sun sets. People load and unburden their ships with haste in preparation of trade. Eventually, the anomaly becomes clear. An extravagant restaurant boat, the words Golden Fortune inscribed o its red-lacquered hull between two carved windows in the shape of peonies, flickers erratically within a strange field of abjuration magic, likely an Archive containment protocol of some kind to ward off passers-by. Though fishers and dockworkers pass by the Golden Fortune, not seeming to even notice the ship, some people are disembarking, clearly unsteady and disoriented as they cross back onto the dock.
The Pathfinders are headed into the Chitterwood Forest to fulfill a favor called in by friend of the Society Chief Zusgut of the Crookedtoes tribe. But before we get to that, why don't you introduce yourselves?

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 adventure begins in the Aroden’s View district of Oppara, with the Pathfinders being ushered into the hidden basement of the Porthmos Club, a tea house and former temple to Shelyn that offers discreet meeting spaces. Past a door disguised as a wine rack, Lady Gloriana Morilla waits in a meeting room outfitted with threadbare velvet chairs. But before we get to 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. But before we get to that, why don't you introduce yourselves?
Please fill out the Slides (linked above) with your character's token and information and your marching order. Remember that while you can get Starfinder Society credit for this adventure, it's not actually a Society scenario. That means the character you play in this game doesn't have to be the same as the Society character getting credit. Make sure RPG Chronicles is filled out for your SFS character's information, who can be any level (although that's probably a moot point right now). And, uh, that's about it. Go ahead and dot in or introduce your characters.
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.
Like many Repeatable scenarios, this one has variable elements. So, if you've played it before, can you tell me what Stella Fane's favorite bar is? If possible, I'll pick a different one. Please dot in or introduce your character, and fill out the Slides linked above. Any GM Glyphs?
Venture-Captain Calisro Benarry invites the Pathfinder agents to meet her at the helm of the Glorious Payoff, where she navigates the vessel down the Garundi coast. This crew has been traveling together for several days now and have had ample time to get acquainted. So, before we begin, why don't you introduce yourselves?

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?
