Calling VC: Norden Balentiir, to his lodge is Sothis, the capital of Osirion, for a "cooperative group request based on past experience." Excludes Aakif, who is investigating the son of Proconsul DuMarc, Tobyn DuMarc (whom while serving abroad in Sothis from his home nation of Taldor, has been seen and reported to have started worshiping Sarenrae.)

Shadow Lodge! Mystery! Olde tyme shock thriller!

Let's do the time warp again!

Mission location: Absalom
Meeting Letter: None, yet

Discuss turkey or new games I'm going to play for at least 72 hours next week!

Getting this up now, regardless of start date.

Mission briefing is in the exotic lands of Katapesh, Katapesh: the city of Pactmasters where anything may be sold and bought under guidance of the followers of the First Vault's keymaster. Calling VC is "Lady Only-Appearing-in-This-Film" Wulessa Yuul, known faithful of Abadar.

Back from the graaaaaave.

A Pathfinder Society scenario designed for levels 5–9.

When an ally of the Society reports that her sister's business is being harassed by the Aspis Consortium in the Varisian city of Korvosa, a team of Pathfinder agents is dispatched to the Green Market to assist. What they find there is more than simple strong-arming and intimidation, however. What mysterious forces bring the popular market its unlikely success, and can the PCs stop the Aspis Consortium from gaining control of what could become a lucrative resource for the rival organization?

Written by Jim Groves.

No briefing; mission is by missive from Amara Li (of all people.) Starts in Korvosa, Varisia, but allows Absalom buying (should it be relevant for folks.) Faction missions are disappointingly arbitrary and will be ignored.

Hodor! Taldor!

A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 5th to 9th level characters (Tiers: 5–6 and 8–9).

Life in Taldor is fraught with peril, especially for the crumbling noble houses of the Taldan countryside. One such house, the Bourtze Family, has fallen on hard times and they've informed the Pathfinder Society that, in exchange for a small sum of money, they'd be willing to part with a treasure trove of lore about Qadira's Grand Campaign, the 300-year invasion of Taldor. On your arrival, things quickly turn for the worse and instead of evaluating the worth of a few scraps of historical paper, you must instead retrieve one of the most dangerous artifacts in the empire.

Written by James F. MacKenzie

More Taldor! All the Taldor! (Somehow, everyone keeps requesting scenarios in the region. Last one was 00-23.)

Starting Region is Absalom. Calling VC is the ever-cuddly Aram Zey.

Discuss, hopefully in Hallit!

A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for levels 7–11.

Despite several promising developments on the front lines, it’s increasingly clear to the Pathfinder Society that fighting its way across the entire Worldwound would prove far more costly than approaching the Sky Citadel Jormurdun from the west. What it might gain in ease of use, the society lacks in an established basecamp, so the PCs must travel to the Realm of the Mammoth Lords to win over the locals and secure a beachhead—all without falling prey to the area’s powerful megafauna, savage demons, and relentless barbarian tribes.

Starting Location: Absalom

Definitely not starting until tomorrow, other than maybe intro stuff, since I have no maps set up.

Discus! Wait, no! I'm bad at sports!

A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for levels 3–7.

As an act of retribution, an enemy of the society begins hiring river pirates to waylay Pathfinder boats bound for the crusader nation of Mendev. Unless the Pathfinders can track down the party responsible and put an end to their piracy, the raids may spell the doom of the society’s ambitions to the north.

Content in "You Have What You Hold" also contributes directly to the ongoing storyline of the Sczarni faction.

Written by Sean McGowan.

Calling VC: Venture-Captain Holgarin Smine.

I'm back (na na na na na na na na na na)

A Pathfinder Society Scenario for characters of 3rd to 7th level (Tier 3–7).

All-out war has erupted on the long-contested border between the crusader nation of Mendev and the demon-infested Worldwound. With the magical defenses that once held the demons at bay failing, defense of the region now falls to small patrols of mobile soldiers to resupply, reinforce, and communicate between the border's many fortresses and outposts. With so much at stake, the Pathfinder Society has enlisted many of its agents to assist in the war effort, both to protect its own interests and to prevent the onrushing tide of demonic attackers from plunging the entire Inner Sea region into chaos. On one such wardstone patrol, however, the party may find itself facing an enemy of an entirely different nature.

Written by Alex Greenshields.

Faction Stories to be progressed: Cheliax, Silver Crusade, Sczarni. Starting location is Nerosyan, calling VC is Jorsal of Lauterbury.

Oh man, I was kinda hoping to start this earlier than this, but I think we can chug through this before the 14th. I think we've got 4 with Tektite if he's not played this yet. If you want more, get 'em in here whenever, but note I'm not Red-speed DMing though I'm getting all my maps made up now for my two games I'm running right now.

EDIT: No Tektite, he's already played it, so that mildly alters potential plans.

Activate scenario speed mode.

Starting location is Ramparassad, the capital city of Dtang Ma.

To discuss things, like my presentation of Tide of Morning!

Intro is in Absalom, should you decide for some prefacing.

Additionally, anyone with easy access to Citadel of Flame / Seeker of Secrets (or reliable memories of said products,) does Dennel Hamshanks have a definitive race? A brief search only showed he existed definitely in the first one, and possibly in the second since that's my go-to for esoteric VC knowledge.

DISCUSS

Briefing Location: Cayden's Hall in Absalom, Absalom

Cayden's Hall, being the center of worship for for the Accidental God, Cayden Cailen. It's a huge bar that's burnt down at least 3 times in the past year, with a HUGE fireplace in the center (with a detachable roof, since they learned the first time that smoke inhalation is bad.) It is also the only bar in Abaslom whose name I can remember, and that's always where your contact for this one gives his missions.

Words are for nerds. Discuss.

Starting Location: Heidmarch Manor

I like, I like. Much easier to press from my smartphone.

Discussions?!?

Starting point is "Small tenement outside Korvosa, Varisia."

Discussions?!?

Citadel Vraid, in scenic Korvosa, with a cell for each and everyone one of you.

Calling location is Korvosa’ Shoreline Drinkhall, from Sir Canayven Heidmarch, if you guys want to make your way there IC.

A random thought: If these scenarios come out a week late, does that give us one less week to achieve "Mission Complete Points" for our faction/overall goal or does it just push the tracking period a week longer?

Down in the Puddles district stands an old Tien man whose incredibly long hair wavers gently above the waterline. He wears a waterlogged set of clothes, seemingly pieced together from refuse bins. In behind him sits a large basket, containing priced baskets and as a sign with a number of foreign scripts, that all read the same phase he yells as he peddles his wares, "BASKETS FOR SALE." The languages on the sign include Aklo, Tien-Shu, and Taldane. The only metal object he appears to own is a bucket, upon whose edge hangs a crab.

The man, if spoken with, pauses briefly and intently observes the individual. He then joins the conversation, believing himself to be one of a number of individuals. On occasion, he thinks himself to be the person with whom he speaks and denies all accusations of identity theft. Pathfinders who keep abreast of others would know he is registered as Tsusuko, agent of the Silver Crusade.

The purpose of this topic is for my dissociative identity disorder White-Haired Witch, Tsusuko, to gain more personalities. He is almost exclusively played at conventions, where I play with random folks to garner up more people for him to "be." As of current, he has adopted three personalities; a Sarenrae cleric, an AC fighter, and a greatsword Paladin.

Discuss how horrible I am at running things in here!

Bear with me as I muddle this mess together.

I will be attending Dragon*con this year and will be playing in 10 slots over the weekend. I would like to plan my characters for the weekend, as I DM PFS locally and have to decide where my DM credit will go this week so that my levels match up to the tiers. Which leads me to this question about the module, Crypt of the Everflame:

By description, it is a "coming of age" ceremony. How is this handled in PFS, where an individual is unlikely to be of an appropriate age for this? I ask because my planned character is to be 2nd level (which is allowed by the ticket description), but also in the later stages of the middle-aged (which has no rules mentioned.) Do I need a character who should be in a younger tier of ages (most likely minimum for current PFS rules?) Unless there is only one individual running this table at the convention, I doubt I'll get an answer-all-questions answer, but I would like to know if there is some sort of rules or general consensus for this. Thanks!

I am offended at the implication that the Baron is having me steal tea sets and relics, like some kind of criminal! There were Taldor's at one point, and merely requires them to be returned.
