In case it wasn't clear, Kastien has readied an action to strike if one of the enemies tries to take the datastick or attack Kastien in melee.
Sounds good. For future, I find it helpful to have the readied attack in spoiler tags, so I can resolve and move forward.

Thank you. I normally require the same things from my players and I don't know why I didn't

Letting you guys know I am back from my work trip.

Sorry to hear about your eye issues, @GM Dennis. Hope you heal up quickly!

Also, my plan is to start this some time next week, after the long weekend (for US folks, anyway)/PaizoCon/etc. If we target Wednesday, does that work for everyone?

Wednesday is fine to start. Looks like it's the solarion or soldier for me. I'll audit both this weekend and pick one.

FYI - I am traveling for work June 2-6 and may have reduced posting during that time.


Venture-Captain, Online PBP

Not sure who I am bringing. The PC I'd most like to bring is leveled out.

Options: Level 6 soldier, Level 6 Solarian, Level 6 Biohacker, Level 5 Envoy

Closing Day!
Okay GMs, this is the closing day for Outpost. Most of you have already wrapped up your games and reported by now (great job, by the way), but we still have about 30 games still going. Please wrap these up as soon as possible so your players can get ready for the next adventure.

Even if it looks like you won’t finish the gameplay by May 13 we are asking you to [u]go ahead and report your games[/u] by the deadline so that we can finish up the admin stuff and close out the convention before Paizocon. Please help us by getting these last few games reported. Thanks again for stepping up to run games. It is greatly appreciated!

**HOUSE GM ANNOUNCEMENT**

Venture-Captain Luna Aldred pants after the exertion of the fight. As she catches her breath, she smiles confidently, her fangs gleaming in the light of her wayfinder.

Her gaze lingers on what can only be the legendary lost city of Raseri Kanton. It looks like the dwarves that lived there merely stepped away for a minute, rather than fled centuries prior. A great temple to Torag stands just past the entrance, and the rest of the city unfolds past it.

“I think we’ve done enough for now,” she says with a chuckle as she moves the unconscious body of an Aspis agent aside. “We need to finish securing the site and ensure there are no more snakes lurking around. As much as I want to start documenting Raseri Kanton, it will have to wait for another day. For now, let us rest and celebrate our victory!”

I’d like to extend a giant thank you to all the GMs that ran this year’s Special, and all the players that came out to vanquish the dastardly Aspis Consortium. I hope everyone had fun and will make running and playing in our mutli-table specials a regular tradition. Thank you all!

Venture-Captain Luna Aldred stands at one end of a wide stone bridge, facing the path back to base camp. At the far end of the bridge, a pair of tall doors stands open. Within, a marvelous city rises, seemingly unscathed by the passage of centuries. From afar, the research possibilities seem endless. As Pathfinder agents gather on the bridge, preparing to enter the city, Luna scans the area carefully. The muffled sounds of clanking armor and shuffling footsteps announce the approach of unwanted company.

Soon, a massive group of Aspis agents strides out onto the bridge. The leader of the Aspis, a man wearing a fortune in diamond jewelry, casually tosses a dagger from hand to hand.

“You aren’t so tough now, ‘venture-captain’. I do wish you didn’t have to die, but this is merely business. Profit margins are razor-thin these days.”

Luna casts a glance behind her for just a moment, smiling at the assembled Pathfinder agents. Her teeth sharpen into fangs as she charges to attack. While some Aspis agents stay behind to engage with her, many more rush past her, making a break for the city’s doors. The venture-captain can’t hold back this tide alone!

Table GMs, run Event 5: The Door In.

I'm trying to figure out if my game was reported correctly as core or not. How would I do that? I did not see any options on RPG Chronicles for core for the Solstice Scar scenario.

Looks like it was not. I have gone in and reset all the PCs to Core and changed the reporting. All should be fixed now.

And yes, PF1 GMs get to roll for boons as well.

I think I heard that boons are not to be rolled for in this, that the staff will figure that out? Is that correct?

For PF1, a roll of 19 or 20 wins a boon

When I try to download the chronicles from RPG Chronicles for the solstice scar game, I get the error

And the email option is not available to me saying I need to upgrade my account to use the email feature. What should I do?

Don't panic! It is a known issue and it is being worked on.

Venture-Captain Luna Aldred addressed the gathered Pathfinder agents.

”With everyone’s work, we’ve uncovered two new areas in the ruins. One route follows an old caravan route through the mountain, while the other goes through an abandoned temple. Choose whichever route you prefer, but keep your eyes peeled, as we’re getting closer to Raseri Kanton. However, the Aspis Consortium is closing in. We’ll return to the ruins tomorrow and beat those snakes to the city. Rest up tonight and prepare for a long day tomorrow.”

## __HOUSE GM ANNOUNCEMENT__

Venture-Captain Luna Aldred bangs on her shield to gain the attention of the gathered crowd. As the noise dies down, she points to a piece of stretched canvas with a whittled stick. "When I was first told about the discovery of a ruined outpost under this mountain, I assigned a few agents to explore it."

On the canvas, charcoal and chalk outline a sprawling underground complex. The map already lists names, discoveries, and potential hazards. However, three highlighted routes lead past the end of the explored segments. Each route is labelled with a name and shaded with a distinctive color: yellow for the Labyrinth, blue for the Sunken Halls, and white for Unsealed Way.

"Their preliminary explorations found extensive ruins, as well as signs that this path will lead us to a find that’s worthy of the Pathfinder Chronicles: the lost city of Raseri Kanton, which has been missing for almost a thousand years! This expedition warrants a large team. I reckon this group is enough, though I won’t turn away any stragglers." Venture-Captain Luna chuckles.

Her tone darkens as she continues, "This expedition was set to take months. However, the Aspis Consortium has heard of our plans, and they’ll surely be dispatching their own teams. We need to act quickly before those destructive louts claim the ruins. Move quickly, but not recklessly. Report back regularly. And for all that Aroden left us, don’t die."

"You know what to do. Explore. Report. Cooperate."

Table GMs, please hand out your Scouting Reports and begin Act 1

Not there yet. Should I use an alternate form of reporting?

I would suggest just using a black scenario for RPGC and then update it when Solstice Scar becomes available

General Seating now open!

General seating is now open for all players. While there is no limit to the number of games you can sign up for, we do ask that everyone do their best not to overcommit. We also would ask that you not sign up for tons of games at the very beginning, to give everyone the chance to find a seat at a table. Sign up for a few, then wait a day or two to give others the chance.

Remember that the 1 game per character rule still applies to PBP games, so no signing up to play in multiple games with the same character.
