Favorite PFS Encounter (Spoilers Aplenty)

[exile]

For those of you who have played in one or more Pathfinder Society scenarios, what has been your favorite encounter?

Personally, I like the combat with the angry Ulfen and his crew in Frozen Fingers of Midnight. Also enjoyed the problem solving/puzzle encounter in Silent Tide (wherein the party has to open a variety of chests).

I was running it rather than playing, but a fine melee we had was during Silent Tide.

Spoiler:

The fight had moved up onto the great organ. M'Butu the Mwangi paladin had become flanked by two of the Black Echelon on the keys. In an act of desperation, he turned to one of the two. With a mighty leap he sprung across to the adjoining key and bull rushed his opponent back. He took a hit in exchange but the skeletal menace fell from the key and crashed into the ground.

Its companion followed up the movement however, slicing into the tribesman from behind and felling him into unconsciousness. M'Butu's companion, the dwarven cleric of Torag rushed up the side to try to come to his aid and stared at the daunting task of crossing the uneven expanse of the organ keys. His armor weighed him down, hampering his ability to jump from key to key. Tumbling across was nigh impossible, and it seemed that the brave tribesman would surely bleed to death upon the keys.

But lo did the inspiration of the performer come to our dwarven friend. Without a care for the hefty chain shirt he wore, uncaring about the shield he bore that hampered dextrous movements, he drew upon his innate charisma and performed an impromptu dance that spun him across the unstable surface. With a performance worthy of any great stage, this servant of Torag pranced across the keys and laid his healing hands upon the downed paladin.

The moral of the story: Perform: (Dance) has no armor check penalty. Who knew?

This is why EVERY PC should put a few ranks into a Craft, Perform

or Profession skill. Some of the most interesting RP moments come
out of these oddball choices.

This was my favorite as well, but not because of the combat. I liked this encounter because, while it certainly could result in a straight up combat, it left open so many possibilities of other ways to deal with the encounter.

I was running the Mists of Mwangi adventure when my favourite encounter occurred:

Spoiler:

When the party encountered the undead, the VERY dignified bard went nuts, and proceeded to try and eat a zombie, much to the befuddlement of the rest of the party. Afterwards, the fighter had to grapple her whilst the wizard ran down the road screaming for a cleric!

Cheers! :D
