Venture-Captain Rashmivati Melipdra invites you to meet her in the artifact vault adjoining her office in the Pathfinder Society lodge, located in Niswan, the capital of the island nation of Jalmeray. From the lightning that crackles in the eyes of some passersby, to a street mural of a marid crushing battleships under massive waves, to the looming, multitiered pagodas that seem custom-built for oversized creatures, you can easily observe the influence of the genies summoned by the Vudrani rajahs to protect the isle on the city’s Commerce District.

Inside the artifact vault of the lodge, the heavy brass door that protected the entrance lies charred and smoking in a folded heap, as if blown from its hinges by an explosion.
The floor of the large, vaulted chamber is covered with debris not unlike the aftermath of an earthquake; broken and overturned shelves, daises, and display cases, as well as scattered sculptures, paintings, and talismans litter the floor.

A handful of Society scribes carefully clean up the mess, sorting through relics while recording observations on scrolls of parchment. Amid them, Venture-Captain Rashmivati Melipdra, a husky, middle-aged Vudrani woman with broad shoulders, kneels down to pick up the shards of a shattered glass obelisk.

feel free to introduce yourselves but expect the venture captain to be thoruoghly absorbed by the glass shard until march 4th

Feel free to post character intros as you will all have got to know each other over the previos uneventful missins

The Frozen Ambitions series is four adventures the first three are level 1-4 and can be played in any order the final is a 3-6 The plan is to run all 4 starting with freeing the herd 3-09 before heading back to 3-03 then on to 3-15 before the final adventure 3-21

The order is because I want to assign the gm credit to the character who played parts 1and 3 before I play part 4 and I played part 2 with the character who will gain all the other scenarios credit

“I have a mission for you,” says Istivil Bosk, the Venture-Captain of Daggermark in the River Kingdoms. After receiving the assignment from Venture-Captain Adril Hestram in Absalom, traveling for weeks across the Inner Sea and up the lengthy Sellen River, and with barely an hour to adjust to Daggermark’s sights and sounds, the Venture-Captain of Daggermark now paces back and forth across cramped quarters crammed full of maps, books, and adventuring gear.

“Your timing is perfect, friends,” explains Bosk, an elderly man with graying hair and a pinched, weathered face. He waves a parchment in his hand. “I received another letter just yesterday.” He holds up another stack of letters. “It’s from the Black Marquis—I believe his real name is Bazzak—the leader of a band of brigands surreptiously known as the Pirate Pact. In all of these letters, he claims to need our help and offers us The Memoirs of the Silver Brotherhood, a rare text—maybe the rarest—in exchange. The Society tried for years to track it down and now Bazzaks claims to be ready to give it to us. I’m sending you north to Deadbridge near the Echo Wood to meet this Black Marquis and offer him your help with whatever it is he needs. I want this book, and you’ll get it for me.”

And so the mission travels north along the Sellen River, to the aptly named village of Deadbridge, a rundown hamlet partially built on wharves. It is there, in a rundown antique manor house where stands Urdul Bazzak, the Black Marquis.

“I rule the Pirate Pact and with it the stretch of the Sellen River between here and Numeria,” proudly states the portly little man. “The waterways are the lifeblood of the River Kingdoms, so you must understand that any menace to the river is a menace to the balance of power.” The Black Marquis stops and quickly looks to his left and right before leaning in and continuing in hushed tones. “Unless someone deals with this threat soon, I could lose everything. Normally I would rely on my most trusted lieutenants, but …” Bazzak sits up, regains some composure, and resumes. “The book I’m willing to trade for your service—The Memoirs of the Silver Brotherhood—contains information about an Azlanti treasure vault deep within the Echo Wood. That’s where I sent my most trusted lieutenants. Only, on their way they were waylaid by spiders and abominations and only one returned alive. Lady Riverbane sent out another ship upon her return, the Hanspur’s Luck, to search for my men. The Luck hasn’t returned either.” Bazzak points to the only other person in the room, a silver-haired beauty standing in a corner wearing a red tricorne. “Lady Riverbane is my most trusted second, and she will take one of my best ships and guide you back to the Azlanti vault. Rid the river of these monstrous spiders and their abominations, find the Hanspur’s Luck, and uncover the whereabouts of my
men, and the book is yours. Do it quickly, do it quietly, and do it before the rest of the Pact realize I’ve sent my best men on fools’ errands that may have killed them all.”

Please post the usual details here

So the party sails from Magnimar back to Absalaom with the body of a dwarf preparing to find his relatives in the Hao jin tapestry

I know I asked you to post your details in the recruitment thread but can I ask you to post them again here Including Starting xp Starting gold Total Fame and current prestige. This stops me having to work out who the actual players are in the recruitment thread

Your starting gold for first level characters should include the total value of all your gear you could sell back at cost until you hit level 2 (so for a brand new level 1 character your gold is 150gp even though you have spent some of that on some gear)

So details required are

player name
character name
pfs id and character number
faction
starting xp
starting fame
current prestige
starting gold

Thank you

Here's the ctrl+P for all my games: Shamelessly cribbing from Dungeon master S

1. I've been running games since the late 1980s, I've seen a lot of editions. I started playing PFS at about season 2. I'm solid with the PFRPG rules, but everyone makes mistakes. I'll try to be as fair as possible.
2. I'm a Venture-Agent for manchester England. If you're ever in the area, or you need help finding games/conventions in the UK. PM me.
3. I post with reasonable of frequency. That being said, if you guys can post 1/day That would be awesome if it gets slower sometimes I understand. No worries. Real Life Comes First (tm).
4. Feel free to preemptively roll Perception, Disable Device, etc. It makes the game run more efficiently. I ask only that you make sure minis are placed in their actual position in case your choices have consequences (good or bad.)
5. Let's get started:

Player Name:
PC Name:

Faction:
Day Job: Feel free to roll now.
Perception and vision/senses:
Initiative:
Notes: Anything I should know; passive abilities, boons that are way out there, etc. If you have abilities that are immediate actions that interrupt an enemy, I'll be as fair as possible, but you can help me out by telling me under what conditions you typically use it.

I'll check back here in a days time if I have more than six players a lottery will follow to determine who gets selected for this scenario First four at random last two may be weighted for party balance reasons

Please post reporting details here

Gameplay thread for a retrocon table of siege of diamond city please post brief intros as you gather in Neroysan . You are in the dining area and are seated (or about to be seated) At a table. Venture captain Josiah of Lauterbury has welcomed you to the Lodge which is a tower set into the walls of Neroysan a crusader city close to the worldwound. A large gathering of pathfinders are all expecting a major announcement

Ok this is a tier 3-4 game. A couple of you have let me know you have hit level 5. I believe if our APL remains at 4 this is still a viable table so can I please ask you to post your current level in discussion thread please (just your level for now the other details can wait)

Please feel free to post your name and then delete in the gameplay thread too. This will mark this campaign as active for you. Expected start remains 7 May.

Once I know what the actual APL is I can check with our esteemed overseer (preferably after he has finished the first session) that we are still good to go as planned

Pathfinders Assemble

At the Grand Lodge in Absalom

Please stealth dot the gameplay thread if you are participating with an alias that incorporates your characters name

To stealth dot you post a post with the word dot or even just a . and then delete the post you have just made. Then the campaign will show in your list of active campaigns until either I make it inactive or you decide to hide the campaign thread

Other stuff

If new to PbP
There aren't any exact instructions but it won't be difficult so don't worry. For an idea of what to expect here is a little preview, This campaign is a pretty good example of what the format will look like.

I'll be using a database that generates the template for the game and I will be making posts with the blessing deck information, locations, cards, etc. The cards will be behind spoiler tags so when it is your turn you'll be able to freely explore by looking at the next card in your location and carry out your turn like normal.

The second part of the game is going to be run by a google sheet that I will share with you. This will have your character and deck info in it and will give you a template to copy into your notes. If you look at that thread then youll notice the players have at the bottom of their post text with what's in their hand. That's all managed by the google sheet and it'll make more sense once we get closer to starting and I've sent that out to everyone.

Only new thing you might need to learn is how to use the out of character (ooc) or diceroll functions. When you make a post there is a "how to format your text" button to help with this.

(ooc)Using square barackets in stead of round ones turns text blue(/ooc)
Like this. used for questions or comments of future strategy. stuff like that
Using square brackets again gives(dice=this is a test roll)1d6(/dice)
this is a test roll:: 1d6 ⇒ 5

new to Organized play
The organized play guide can be found here.

The biggest change you will find is that boons (Weapons, spells, armor, etc) are not added to your decks like normal. Instead, at the end of each scenario we'll take any acquired cards and list them out by their card type and adventure deck level.

For example we may have acquired
Armor B
Armor 1
Weapon 1
Spell B
Blessing 1
etc

Then, each character picks one card to use as a deck upgrade but we can't have multiple people pick the same card. We'll do a rolloff if multiple people want the same card. Once everyone has decided their deck upgrade then they can replace one card in their deck with one card from their blessing deck of that same (or lower) level. So if I got a Weapon 1 upgrade I could replace a weapon with one of my weapons of Adventure Deck 1 or lower in my class deck. This is meant so that in a physical setting you could take your deck anywhere and you're not pulling cards out of the box and keeping them forever.

I'll help out with how that whole process works once we finish the first scenario. There aren't a lot of other changes with organized play that will run into immediately. I guess one caveat is that organized play does go by the perma-death rule so just make sure you're not going reckless expecting free revives like in a home-game where you houseruled against perma-death.

Catastrophe struck the world 10,000 years ago, and mighty Osirion was one of the first great nations to rise from the ashes. For centuries its pharaohs oversaw a golden age of expansion and innovation while crushing rivals such as the Tekritanin League and the golem armies of the Jistka Imperium. Eventually, though, the kingdom began to stagnate, its leaders unable to match the splendid accomplishments of their forebears. Following millennia of decline and foreign occupation, Osirion is once again autonomous and prospers under the Ruby Prince Khemet III.

Hoping to uncover forgotten secrets that his kingdom might employ while encouraging foreign traffic into the increasingly prosperous land, the Ruby Prince opened Osirion to foreign explorers approximately a decade ago. Those hoping to plunder tombs and make their fortune are subject to Osirian customs agents who reclaim the most historically sensitive finds and collect a modest tax on other goods. Yet even this is hardly enough to discourage treasure-hunters—not when one could uncover gold, lost magic, or even a piece of one of the legendary Shory flying cities from a lost age.

Among the region’s most influential archaeological operations is the Pathfinder Society, an international league of explorers and adventurers dedicated to discovering and chronicling the world’s mysteries. You recently completed your training as a Pathfinder agent in Absalom and set out for Osirion, dreaming of the ancient secrets buried beneath the sands and stone. Before you embark overland, though, it’s critical that you meet with Venture-Captain Norden Balentiir, who coordinates Pathfinder activity throughout Osirion and is an invaluable sage of which sites remain unexplored and unspoiled by common looters.

As your ship approaches Sothis, you can take in its beauty firsthand. Smooth-sided structures of tawny stone stand tall and proud, many capped with sparkling domes and adorned with spectacular columns. Famous temples tower over the skyline, including the Necropolis of the Faithful, overseen by Pharasma’s priests. It’s a stark reminder that even though Osirion condones treasure-hunting, the Lady of Graves demands that all respect the dead. Perhaps greatest of all Sothis’s monuments is the Black Dome, a colossal, translucent scarab beetle that stands at the city’s center. History says that this was once Ulunat, a destructive behemoth laid
low by the city’s founder and now inhabited by its elite.

There’s little time for sightseeing here, though—once you meet with Norden Balentiir, the archaeological wealth of all Osirion will be yours to explore. What you uncover might not just change your fortunes; it could change the world!

You are in Nantambu a large city in the middle of the Mwangi expanse in the offices of Sharrowsmiths Exports which is also the location of the pathfinder lodge in the city.

Sharrowsmith ,the venture captain who runs the lodge , has not been heard from for some time and you wait outside his office with other pathfinders awaiting your mission briefing.

You find yourselves gathered round the entrance to The Office of Ambrus Valsin in Skyreach, Absalom

Please take a moment to introduce yourselves

A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for levels 3–7.

This is CORE campaign run

An elusive enemy of the Society has launched a campaign of espionage and intrigue from Stonespine Island, the homeport of the infamous Okeno pirates. The Society must sneak a team of agents through one of the largest slave markets on the Inner Sea and track the slippery mastermind to her base if they are to successfully capture the villain, and Venture-Captain Ambrus Valsin has just the team of Pathfinders in mind for the task. Can the PCs defeat this remote slave ring without becoming slaves themselves?

Content in “The Slave Master’s Mirror” also contributes directly to the ongoing storylines of the Liberty’s Edge and Silver Crusade factions.

Discussion thread for character details including day job rolls and other discussions I will give GM granta the opportunity to join uson this leg of the quest

The summons from Drandle Dreng is brief and a bit odd: “Meet Kreighton Shaine in the stables to discuss missing artifacts.” Aside from some briefings during training, few Pathfinders deal with the Society’s Master of Scrolls. In the muddy stables, Kreighton’s scholarly robes drag through the muck, and his soft shoes are clearly soaked through, though he doesn’t seem to notice.

“I’ve been working on an extensive study of religious relics, trying to ascertain whether items gain a certain aura of divinity that cannot be detected through normal means. I’ve been collecting these artifacts through a series of well-known dealers in the God’s Market. We’ve never had any trouble before, but recently several of our couriers have been waylaid by a particularly elusive bandit.”
Kreighton pauses briefly as his mud-soaked robe snags on a nail and he nearly falls over, but a stable boy catches his arm and steadies him. “As they were headed through the Ascendant Court, a group of thugs ambushed our couriers. The first time I thought it was a coincidence—a random mugging. After the second time, however, Grandmaster Torch had some harsh words with me. He suspects someone has targeted our couriers specifically. The Drandle boy suggested I have you investigate the disappearances.” There is a long, uncomfortable pause and for a minute it seems the elf has completely forgotten he was discussing something.

As we have two level ones I believe can we have characters of the levels one to three variety. I hope to post the introduction in the gameplay thread once the party is decided

Volunteers are needed to escort the body of a deceased venture-captain across the parched Qadiran desert to Katheer. The Silken Caravan offers passage, hauling exotic treasures across the perilous sea of sands. You'll brave bandits, spies, and unwelcome mourners hell-bent on paying respects to your dead companion. Worse still, the caravan's mistress, a satin-swathed Qadiran princess, has designs of her own on you and your cargo.

There is a small note pinned to the door of Drendle Drengs study
Back in a moment. Please come in have a seat but DONT TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE,

Inside there are six chairs arranged around a desk cluttered with various bits of paper with various knick knacks holding the down including a Taldan Shoulder Epaulette from a dress uniform. There are no windows just three ropes hanging off the ceiling with continual flame cast on them and a ribbon with the same effect hanging on a wall behind the desk in front of which lies a cushioned chair

Notes: Anything I should know; passive abilities, boons that are way out there, etc. If you have abilities that are immediate actions that interrupt an enemy, I'll be as fair as possible, but you can help me out by telling me under what conditions you typically use it.

I'll check back here in a days time if I have more than six players a lottery will follow to determine who gets selected for this little errand run

This is the bit where you discuss characters

This is a start for a face to face game that will finish friday

Venture-Captain Esmayl ibn Qaradi sits behind his immaculately clean desk with his head in his hands. He sighs, takes a deep breath, and rises to address his guests. “Originally, I wasn’t planning on sending a team back out to the Zho Mountains. The risk of losing another team is, frankly, too high. If that weren’t enough of a reason, the Society’s assault on the Worldwound has left the lodge’s coffers much lighter—too light to fund another expedition into dangerous territory so soon. However, following some conversations with fellow agents, I am reminded that all Pathfinders must come home—no matter the cost, no matter the danger. The lessons of the Shadow Lodge still resonate.” He nods toward a Pathfinder who stands silently in the corner. “In fact, the recent disappearance in the Zho Mountains has brought a surge of monetary support from the onetime disciples of Grandmaster Torch. It was enough to finance your voyage here, and I would happily provide you the remainder if you succeed.”The venture-captain takes a few steps toward a map of Qadira hanging from his wall. “Six years ago, a team of Pathfinders received a map of an unexplored area in the Zho Mountains, and ever since they have stayed busy surveying the region and sending me updates. Until recently, they had uncovered only a few dozen small sites and a plethora of new plant and animal species, but their most recent update referenced a large illusory barrier. Since then we have not heard from them, and I believe they found something dangerous beyond.“I ask that you use what notes I have on file to track down these agents and make sure they return safely. Investigating the nature of this illusory... field, barrier, shield... is secondary at best. Esmayl pauses for a moment before continuing. “If you have any questions, I shall answer them as best I can, though most of what the Society knows about the mountains is in the logbooks of those agents.
