ZeniMax happened to them.

There is some gold in them thair hills.

This version of "Survival Mode" feels better polished.
The crafting system is expanded upon. Tiered-by-level gear allows gear to incrementally improve along with the characters.
The "no one else is around" vibe works well for me. What doesn't are mutant mosquitoes - they have no place in Appalachia IMO. If there are super-mutants than those should be excised as well.

I do wander around in Fallout, especially in 4. Especially when you throw in a few choice mods. 1500+ hours and I am still discovering things.

What I am very disappointed in with 76 is just how buggy it is. 3 years of development with most of the assets already in place from Fallout 4 should have resulted in a much more polished game. Couple that with no modding support, online-only and multiplayer/PvP-whether-you-want-it-or-not in the current state ... meh.

I've suggested this before, so forgive the repeat:

Fast-forward everyone to the Boss Fight at The End. Award XP/apply milestone to desired level, award gp budget. PCs are advanced BEFORE the session begins. This should be doable.

Then throw down and go out, one way or another, with a fang!

Playtesting doesn't do anyone any good whatsoever if the rules are not being tested.

Between being a new rules set and adhering to the rules as understood the logical consequences are a higher fatality rate.

Oh-ho, they're/you're entering Chapter 5 with far more knowledge than most PC's would have.

Good luck. *grins*

Could have been identical twins. Could have been that Aethusa figured out a way to magically "copy" themselves, one of them going one way, the second another ...

Go moorlock beggar mob! Use those overbearing rules!

Wrong system? Pffffft. ;)

Or, y'know, morlock troops. Lots of them. *grin*

Armor already provides 100% damage reduction by way of AC. If an attack meets or beats the AC, the damage bypasses the damage reduction.

Another way of looking at it is that AC is "Defense DC", the same way that save DCs are (10+[stuff]) and opposed checks are now a set DC, e.g. Athletics DC is (10+Athletics) or a character's Deception DC is (10+Deception).

PF2 is not designed around an active defense paradigm. A lot of other game systems are, Pathfinder and D&D are not and never really have been.

Just remembered another one from the last session. While the party is walking through a marsh I tell them from somewhere in the trees they hear eerie lute music. Dave, playing the Investigator, asks, "Is there accompanying banjo music?"

A lute is a precursor to the banjo ... ;)

I'm rooting for Waifu Bara as MVM (Most Valuable Monster). ;)

Not disappointed in the slightest.

I think I might houserule it that without the specialized lore you can only repair items, not create.

In fact, while the text doesn't indicate that directly, the table for item creation implies it, as there is NO column for untrained.

Page 143. Craft's untrained use is Repair (activity).

I could rotate the sheet on my Browsing System.

Starting at 0 XP is a bit weirder.

Every Paizo-published Adventure Path starts characters at 0 XP. The lion's share of 3pp campaigns also start characters at 0 xp.

I'm not sure what your point is. Care to clarify?

True. They need to do a Se7en type movie with Carnage.

That would be epic.

Are there plans in the works for a decent amount of 20th level playtesting within this window, perhaps during Q4?

We won't really know for 3 or so weeks I think.

Access to only one book and not a full book at that for a playtest can make a lot things feel kinda of samey.

Presuming that the PF Beta is anything to go on, a lot of what we are seeing will not change over the coming year.

Maybe another page or two per class for 12 classes, probably a bunch more spells (although I don't see much of a need for more) and of course more magic items. All in all there seems to be a good chance that the Nouveau Pathfinder CRB won't greatly exceed 400 pages, perhaps even coming in just under that page count.

I'm just curious. what if you have three players that didn't roll above a 12 and one character that rolled 18's across the board? Do you just let that player dominate the game because he rolled well at character creation?

If that is what was agreed to ... yes.

The downside to being so much above the rest of the pack is that it has a really nasty habit of drawing unwanted attention from the opposition.

If nothing else, Darwinian survival will eventually result in characters largely at parity to each other.

OR

You assign the "uber ability scores" to the player with the least system mastery - many tables have at least one - whilst the more seasoned players take on the slightly-above-average folk as a challenge to be overcome.

Yes I agree, that's what a good Gm would do to help balance play. Kind of like a good game system will try to balance play among character creation so that everybody starts off on the same footing. To be fair I have only ever used point buy for character creation so I am baised in this.

I've played numerous systems including the generations of D&D and 3e/Pathfinder and a dabbling in Starfinder, often making use of random ability score generation.

No small part (for me) of getting a feel for a character's backstory and personality comes from randomly generated ability scores. This is the one thing that is left on the cutting floor so-to-speak with point-buy systems that do not have some method of taking behavioral limiters - in Nouveau Pathfinder they're being called anathema - in trade for something positive in return.

I dunno, maybe I'll roll a set of scores to "get a feel" for the character then use the standard chargen methods to match as close as possibly permitted systemically. Might work better. Otherwise, being accustomed to other systems that reward characters mechanically for accepting behavioral limitations, most of my PCs gravitate towards fairly simple personalities with as little as possible in the way of behavioral inhibitors as a matter of best-chance-to-survive.

My issue with hard caps is that PCs currently appear to have a hard cap on ability scores of 24 (+7).

A quick skim through the playtest bestiary reveals an apparent systemic hard cap of 30 (+10).

So long as it is possible, however unlikely, for player characters to obtain a 30 in one or more ability scores, I am fine with a systemic ability score cap.

Rare and Unique "stuff" being required for this to happen is fair so long as it is possible.

This was super-dupers smooth today. Congratulations on a job VERY well done to everyone involved!

Although someone will make a form-fillable sheet, it would be best if it was a free download from Paizo.

This way Paizo could make sure it works, all the things add up, and can even include annotations and extra stuff to make it easier for someone to roll up their first PF 2.0 character.

Other things that can be done with a PDF:

Things I would add that you can attach to the base character sheet (like how Chronicle sheets are attached in PFS):

Spell sheets - Blank sheets that spell information can be added on - It's easier for someone to look at their character sheet for what a spell does than look it up in a book, especially once more books come out with "what the...?" spells that GMs are unfamiliar with. Ideally, each entry would have a field for book and page number for easy reference if you gotta check the book.

Deity TL;DR - A sheet to attach with your Deity's info, such as alignment, domains, etc. and what they want to see you do -
This would help Divine casters act like their bosses want them to.

Were Paizo to have a form-fillable and page-addable sheet, this would be awesome.

Especially a sheet that did the math for you (since there are no more variables as far as character creation are concerned). This should go a long way to rapidly clearing up confusion as to how the "engine" is intended to work.

Many AP publishers do this, unfortunately. FGG is one of the few that regularly publish campaigns beginning at a level higher than 1st.

I'd love for Paizo to step up to this particular plate to take a swing at it.

Maybe in Nouveau Pathfinder?

Did I see another symbiote ripping Venom off Eddie?

Looks like it, yes. Think it is bonded with the CEO villain.

Today is like Monday ate Tuesday and fissioned off a second crappy day at the start of the same week. ;)

Retire? Is that something to eat?

No, I think it's something they do to your car.

My guess is that 'retire' will become a euphemism for the deception leading us old farts into a Soylent Green processing center.

Second trailer has been released.

I was laughing at the parts where Venom is discussing eating someone to their face.

"Eyes. Lungs. Pancreas. So many snacks, so little time."

"We will eat both your arms and then both of your legs, and then we will eat your face right off your head. You will be this armless, legless faceless thing won't you. Rolling down the street. Like a turd. In the wind."

Good times.

Cut it down to 2 sessions - 1 to get through to the Really Kewl Throwdown. As much as some / most of your players may not enjoy the process of leveling up ... level them to end-of-AP, dole out the swag and get to slayin' some snake folk!

They can be wrapped up before school begins, hopefully?

Entire world, natch.

What kinda selfish asshat would only help their friends?

The devil is in the details. Most 20th level Wizards are not likely to have unlocked the secrets of immortality off the back of a package of Keebler Soft Batch Chocolate Chip Cookies (now made from real elves!) as a DIY recipe.

So it is entirely possible that the only type of immortality a Wizard may be able to confer that doesn't involve creating the undead instead involves either limited wish-powered reincarnation or becoming a golem of some sort.

Now that is a racket and a half: I am the only source of reliable eternal youth (via reincarnate). Time to pay up rich folk! Use the proceeds to perform pro-bono reincarnate, proceed to go insane from the overwhelming public attention.... erm, lemme rethink that plan ...

*whistles* That is a verdict I don't recall EZG "awarding" before.

It didn't. DMCal is referring to Elric of Melnibone methinks.

yeah I have a hard time figuring out what regular folks should be doing in these situations. (You know besides running and screaming) I also feel like the last movie over advertised Bryan Cranston for how little he was actually in it.

Mentally I boil down his presence in that film to the parts where he's not in it. Shortens the film by a good 20 minutes or so.

Frankly ... monster brawl movies do not need people except as toe-jam and fleeing hordes. The cost to make 90 minutes of good monster stompage these days however ... not sure it's exactly affordable.

Also, people seem to want to see people in these films for some reason.

LET THEM EAT NUCLEAR BREATH WEAPONS! ;)

Not going to argue with 'sex sells' marketing regardless of preferences. :)

There was a turtle-looking thing in one shot... plus Gojira/Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan and Ghidorah. So four for sure, perhaps 5. Someone will have pulled the teaser apart to find as many monsters as possible within 48 hours or so is my guess.

Why didn't they get an actor with actual muscle tone instead of just padding his suit?

Maybe the actor submitted the lowest bid for the role? ;)

Holds promise. Guessing DCEU finally started learning some of their lessons...

Not a fan of the hoomanz premise ... but good lord there's a lotta big monsters in that trailer. 4, I think?

For a DCEU offering ... this looks like it might be fun.

Given subsequent information, the motivation is likely irrelevant.

Just examined this in deeper detail. The political motivation is all-too relevant.

Well, there are feats and traits and whatnot that can make up for some of that. 10 levels' worth, I dunno.

Pathfinder companions I've found to be utterly "meh" once you're entering mid-level territory. They make great super-tough mounts. Other than that, I hate the division of a character's gear budget typically required to keep them up and running.

OTOH, the carry companion spell is Your Best Friend. Keep your trusty pet/mount/pet attack rock in your pocket once the game outstrips their usefulness as a direct attack minion.

I know the feeling. Half the time when I schedule a game I have no idea who is going to show and who isn't. Okay, I know that one girl will always be at least an hour late... *eyerolls*

If you schedule the start time session by session, e-mail her that it starts an hour before what time you tell the rest of the players. ;)

We landed on the moon 49 years ago. What's up there anyways?

Dust, rocks, a bunch of litter ... probably some trash too. ;)

You can thank Fiege / Disney / Marvel for forcing that massive series of shoehorns to 'work' in Age of Ultron.

Missus Turin and I found ourselves feeling that this film was ... flat.

If your GM says you cannot die, then you are immortal and cannot die. Play like you cannot die and see how fast your GM changes their mind.

How many necklaces of fireballs can you get your grubby paws on? ;)

Nice. Already pre-ordered it directly from Owlcat some months back. They're supposed to send me a Steam key whenever they get around to releasing this puppy.

Edit: 25th September of this year is the latest release date. Gonna guess that with taking pre-orders on Steam and G.o.G. that they're locked in pretty firm now.

End of September though ... mrrrggghhh ...

Private instructional game

Private instructional game for a friend of mine.

Hello all! Lets talk creation!!!

I figure that before we get too far, we should hammer out the outline and creation rules. Here is what I am thinking so far. Chime in if you have any other ideas!
~20 point buy
~2 traits, one must be campaign from the Players guide. May take an additional trait if you take a drawback, but I will expect you to fully utilize an incorporate your drawback. Also, please make sure to call this to my attention if you choose to take this route!
~Background traits
~Paizo only material preferred, but select exceptions may be considered
~I would really prefer no occult classes, but I won't outright ban them either. If this comes up, we can discuss.

Considering the starting conditions and back story, lets start with 200 gp starting gold.

Anything else I am forgetting??

Hello all! If you wouldn't mind, ninja dot here until we are ready to start!

Please dot and delete until we are ready to begin.

Hello all, and welcome!!

Please ninja dot over in gameplay, then Make your way over here to help me collect some of that pesky reporting information.

The game does not kick off until March 5th so relax, get to know each other, and work out game stuff.

From the sign up list we have:
Rogar Valertis and Yelek Hssar
Valjoen_KC and Pferynn
PatheticWretch and Mr. Copperpot
grimdog73 and Mykel Therinor
Upaynao and Alaric Ir'Ganak

Looking forward to playing this with yall!!!

So I am running the first book, and my group just came across Thora Peska. I turned the entire scene into some kind of cross between Annabell and The Haunting. A ghost like apparition flitting between the the ice boulders, a haunting girlish giggle, ethereal voice calling back the scripted answers.. it was great. By the time they got through the haunt, they were all thoroughly crapping themselves about the hut and the ominous figure sitting in a chair inside. Fast forward to one intrepid adventurer finally steeling themselves and climbing in, looking around, and then being pushed out as he was getting ready to climb back down, tensions were at an all time high!! The battle went pretty quickly though, and the summoner in the group decided to keep the soul focus gem.

Here's where my question lies. The character identified the soul gem as containing part of the soul of the scared little girl from the haunt, and what its function was. He immediately pocketed it, commenting on what he could do with something like that. He is a pretty new player, so he doesn't know what it could be used for, but he is intent on keeping it and trying to use it for "necromantic purposes". I clarified that he knew that part of an innocent soul was trapped within, and he was not swayed. I stated that I would have to do some research, but that using this may involve an alignment infraction, and he still persisted.

So, my questions here:
1) IS there anything at all that he could use this gem for, other than to create more dolls? Even as an experienced Society GM, I don't have much to go on here.

2) Should he find a way to continue using this, should he suffer the consequences of an alignment infraction?
He stated that he clearly understands that a soul was ripped from a child as she was murdered and then made to inhabit the doll. In my mind, even if he didn't kill the child, using the gem should take a toll.. especially depending on whatever way he comes up with to use it. His take on it is that he is neutral, and therefore just using a tool that fell into his hands. To me, this is more NE than true neutral, but what do you think?

Hello all, and WELCOME!!

We will be running the entire We Be Goblins Series, and we will be trying to get as many of these games registered for Gameday Credit as possible so good posting habits and attention to detail will help everyone! However, I will not be sacrificing quality for quantity and will strive to keep a good pace while still keeping an eye towards quality and fun for all of the zany acts of mayhem and destruction caused by our favorite goblins.

If you have not already done so (Shame on you for not following directions!!) Please visit my profile page and take a gander at some of my expectations for both myself and for my players. If there is anything that you wish to add or discuss, now would be the time to get some clarification.

Character selection:
You will choose between the 4 pregenerated characters presented by the WBG series: Chuffy Lickwound, Poog, Mogmurch, and Rita Bigbad. The character sheets for the first game Can Be Found Here. Each game, you will have a new character sheet provided. If you wish to mix things up and play different characters you may do so but that will all be handled by you and between you. I hope that I don't have to step in for any adjudication.. there are 4 games and 4 characters and 4 players. I think, hope, and pray we can all be adults here.

Progress/Reporting:
We B4: Lvl 1
We Be Goblins: Lvl 1
We Be Goblins Too: Lvl 3
We Be Goblins Free: Lvl 4
I will ask at the end of each game for the reporting information for the character you wish to receive credit.

Contact:
Please keep in contact with your fellow players and myself if anything comes up. This can be as simple as a one liner in discussion or a full PM/Email. Considering the problems with the boards recently, I am now providing my Google information so that I can still keep in touch with my players. My e-mail is dragonthoughts83@gmail.com, and I am also on Google Hangouts. Feel free to add me or whatever it is that you do on there.

A few expectations specific to this game series:

*Please create an alias with the name of your character so that I am not trying to guess who is who.

*Please dot in on the gameplay tab, then immediately delete the post. This "ninja" post will make the game show up in your campaign tab without unnecessary clutter.

*This is a fun and zany adventure that gives you an opportunity for some incredible roleplaying. Take advantage of it!! Normally I do not mind OOC conversation, spoilers, and the like.. but this time I am going to have to request that if you are not speaking in character then take it to the discussion tab. I will be setting the tone for that, and we will all love it the more we all play along!

So, Once again, welcome to my WBG series. Introduce yourselves and lets make nice until kickoff!!

I was very excited to see this AP, and even signed up for the Adventure Path specifically for this series. Everything I read about it had me drooling for the adventure.. but now that I have read book 1, I am a little concerned. I have never been a strong enough GM (or maybe just never had the right experience) to do well with freeform sandbox games. Although I can deal with the occasional wayward party, I like more structure to the adventure than this seems to provide. In addition, I have no face to face group.. all of my roleplaying is done on the Paizo forums via PbP.

With this in mind, I am having difficulty seeing how I could get this game up and running. I have never dealt with some of the concepts that are central to the first book (Militia and army rules mostly), and can see this easily bogging down into either a very slow running low action PbP as they bob about the woods taking care of the refugees, or an incredible amount of behind the scenes spreadsheet management for me.. something that I am not entirely enthused about. The third option would be almost completely prewriting the first book to give myself the structure and a more linear path than what is provided. Honestly, I don't have the time to balance RL and the second two options.

What are your thoughts and opinions? Any suggestions for where to look for additional help or different points of view?

Please dot in here, and add your information to this spreadsheet to help me with record keeping. All dayjobs may be rolled here, with the results posted on the spreadsheet. Glad to have you aboard, and hope yall enjoy!!

I do not have an exact date to kick off, but will be doing so in a staggered manner so that I don't have all three tables blowing up at once! Thank you for your patience.. we will get rolling soon!

Just dot in for now, please.

Hello, all!
Welcome to my table for the special Blood Under Absalom. Please dot in here and in gameplay, and then check out the maps link above. On the first slide, I would appreciate it if you could copy and paste your character avatar for use on the maps, and on the second page you will find the reporting information. Please fill these out as completely as you are able, and I will fill in the gold for the dayjob rolls.

As this is a timed special, please also note below any special quirks, abilities, items, or other such head scratchers you may be inclined to utilize during the game so that we can discuss this prior to them actually coming into play and stalling out the action.

I know several of you from the boards, but for those that I have not gamed with yet, please check my alias profile and read up on my expectations and how I normally handle things. Any questions? By all means, please ask them!

I am running the Segang Expedition, and have a question about the mosquitoes in the jungle.
The canned text states:
"The swamp is infested with nocturnal mosquitoes. Unless the
PCs take precautions (such as applying vermin repellent before
they sleep), they must attempt saves to resist contracting
malaria each night that they rest in the swamp."

One of my players came up with the idea that since they are in the swamp, she could cover herself in the mud to prevent the mosquitoes from biting her. I don't want to penalize out of the box thinking, and I know that this works to a point in real life, but can find no rules outside of vermin repellent. Any suggestions? Legality?

Please dot in here.

Please dot in here. Two of our members would like to wait just a bit to get things started, and I am not adverse to this, but will leave it up to the majority vote. In my case, it would help to allow me to scrape a bit more off of my plate before we dive in, and in the case of the two individuals, it would allow them to play with their chosen characters.

In the mean time, please fill out your reporting information HERE in the top section.

Water laps steadily at the pier as sailors, laborers, and merchants rush busily around Absalom’s port. The venture-captain’s summons called for a meeting aboard the Sixwing Drake, a sleek sailing ship. The Drake’s captain, a Varisian woman and fellow Pathfinder named Zarah Zendrani, stands at the helm of her vessel. “It’s not like Valsin to be late,” she mutters, furrowing her brow. As if on cue, a tall and meticulously groomed man pushes his way through the crowd and up the gangplank, cursing audibly. “Whoever supervises this mess of a port needs to be dumped in the sea!” he grumbles. The tall man looks around at those gathered before him. “Just the group I requested. Perfect. I’m Venture- Captain Ambrus Valsin, and I took great care in selecting just the right Pathfinders for this assignment.” Valsin reaches into his belt pouch and withdraws a small, folded paper before continuing. “A few days ago, I received a curious note from a rather unexpected source. It’s not every day that I get a request from an agent of the Aspis Consortium.” Captain Zendrani’s eyes widen, and Valsin smiles knowingly. “But Magali Delroya does not appear to be your typical Aspis agent. As you surely know, the Aspis Consortium pursues a variety of activities across the Inner Sea that the Pathfinder Society finds abhorrent. It seems that Delroya has been working with them for some time, but can no longer stomach the snakes herself. She wants to stop a shipment of an experimental drug from leaving Diobel later this week. It’s bound for a number of locations across the Inner Sea region. According to Delroya, she can’t ask the local authorities for help, because the Aspis Consortium has already struck a deal with a faction of the Kortos Consortium, a powerful merchant collective. Her hands are tied, so she’s come to us for help. In this note, she outlines three different tasks that would help to disrupt the Aspis long enough for her to move the shipment to a secure location, out of the clutches of the consortium. Once you accomplish two of these tasks, she’s willing to meet with you, but not before.”

“Normally, I wouldn’t trust an Aspis agent at any hour of the day. But our sources in Diobel have confirmed the Aspis and Kortos consortia’s activities. Everything checks out, so we are presented with a unique opportunity. If we help Delroya, we might not only strike a financial blow against the Aspis Consortium, but we could also reveal their dealings with the Kortos Consortium—and possibly prevent their arrangement from turning into a more formal alliance. Furthermore, we hope to stop this drug from spreading across the Inner Sea region, and if we—if all of you—do a good enough job, we might even convince Delroya to join the Society. A turncoat agent would be a valuable asset in our ongoing run-ins with the Aspis Consortium.”

“Take some time to look over Delroya’s note and the tasks she has set for you. If you have any questions, now is the time to ask. Remember, the Aspis Consortium is a long-time enemy of the society, but the Kortos Consortium, while certainly suspicious, is not our enemy. It is a complex organization with many factions, and we should avoid antagonizing any of them, except when necessary to oppose the Aspis Consortium.”

The Aspis Consortium pays well, but few can stand its underhanded tactics for long. One operative fed up with the Consortium's practices has contacted the Pathfinder Society with a tempting offer: assist her in leaving the organization, and she will supply the Society with years of insider intelligence about their longstanding rival. It's up to the PCs to navigate Diobel—a proud town run by cutthroat smugglers—earn the defector's trust, and deal a telling blow to their Aspis foes.

"The Consortium Compact" is an evergreen, replayable scenario designed to help introduce players to the Pathfinder Society, the Isle of Kortos, and one of the Society's longstanding rivals.

I will be running this as part of Gameday V, and have one spot reserved. The first five to sign up will be in!

Please list your PFS reporting info and dayjob checks. Also, please list if you have played Serpents Rise and include a link to your chronicle (it can be any character, not just the one you are playing here). There is a special item on the chronicle, but it is only available if you played the character Marnarius.

In addition to the above information, and considering the incredible response, please also post you initiative modifier and your disguise modifier. I will need this information before we can begin. Thank you!

Just a few notes about my personal gaming style to start things off.
1) I am a *generally* new Pathfinder GM. I have been involved with Pathfinder for about 3 years, and as a GM for about a year. Please keep this in mind when I make mistakes.. they will happen, but I will listen to you, the players, and own the mistakes so that I may learn from them and fix them.

2) I am in a pretty accelerated Registered Nurse program. Every three months, I will have finals and will need to focus my time and energy on that. That being said; I will give you advance notice if life takes me away from the boards, and I will post no less than once a day without giving you a reason and a heads up.

3) Some things I do to speed things up: I will roll for initiative, and will keep an updated tracker for round actions. This way, everyone knows who is up, and what has been done. Most of the time, there will be blocks where several PC's are up. You may go in any turn within the block, and I will resolve what happens when. As a PC, roll your own saves, damage, etc like you would in a tabletop game. If anything is needed, there will be reminders in the tracker. An example of my tracker is:
Bold May Post
Tom- Need WS
Dick- Unconscious
Goblin- 2 dmg
Harry- 5 dmg

4) All maps will be hosted in Google Slides. If you have the app, this means that you can view and alter maps from mobile devices. All handouts and non-interactive things will be Google Drawings, and I may use a Google Spreadsheet to keep track of things. All of these links are provided in the game header for easy access and reference.

5)HAVE FUN!! If it is not fun, tell me! Please! The only way that I can learn and grow as a GM is from constant feedback. I not only want and encourage this, but I need this to help improve my games. I am open to suggestions and comments. If you have a problem with something, PM me. Communication is the only thing that is going to get this off of the ground and then keep it rolling.

Lastly: What I expect from you:
At least a post a day if applicable.
More than just a dice roll or a "I do xx" This is called "ROLE" play for a reason.
Keep up with your own map token. If you can't move it when you post, please ask someone.
HAVE FUN

While passing through the city of Kaer Maga, you receive a knock on your door at the inn. A cloaked stranger wordlessly hands you a tightly rolled missive bound with ribbon and sealed with wax before melting away from your door and disappearing before you are able to question him. Examining the scroll only begs for more questions, as the ribbons are in the colors of Pharasma, and the wax bears the Seal of the Church. Curiously, you break the seal and read the message.
”Pathfinder;
You have been chosen to aid the Church if you are willing. Please meet me in the southern courtyard, at the rear of the Godsmouth Cathedral at midnight tomorrow to discuss this mission. Your discretion in this matter is expected.
Valanthe Nerissia
Priest of Pharasma”

This adventure starts in the courtyard. Please introduce your characters as they arrive for this meeting.

Please only dot in for now.

Once everyone gets checked in, I will get things rolling.
