The Year of the Shadow Lodge is coming! Clear your schedules, you don’t want to miss this unique Pathfinder Society event coming up on October 2nd at the Redmond Games and Gizmos at Noon.
For those of you who haven’t heard of this event, let me enlighten you. The Year of the Shadow Lodge is a special Society mission in which multiple tables of Pathfinders work together throughout the mission. Pathfinders of all levels (except 12… so not really all… but 1-11 are fine) are welcome to come join and share their skills to help fight this epic battle. In addition, both Joshua Frost (Paizo's grumpy event coordinator) and Mark Moreland (Paizo's new bushy-eyed developer) will be attending!
If you are interested in joining, let me know by sending me an email to karuikage at karuikage dot net. I will be keeping track of signups on a Google Spreadsheet I made, so be sure you sign up early! I have no idea how many people will want to come, but it is better to be safe than sorry!
When you sign up, the most important thing I need is your name. If at all possible, let me know the level (and name/class I suppose) of the character you wish to play. This way I can kind of plan out what table will have what Tier before the game.
Lastly, if you are at all available to GM, I might need some more! We will have 7 tables available and I have only a couple table GMs so far (myself taking the Overlord GM spot).
Thanks everyone, and I hope to see you there!

(Keep in mind that the above sheet is not meant to be edited by anyone other then me, it is just a way for me to keep track of people and for you to see who all is confirmed to come. To signup, just email me your information and I will make sure you are added.)
I'M NOT GRUMPY!!!!!!!
It follows all of the rules as normal scenarios do for play. It also awards a chronicle sheet and XP.

I am signed up at the 6-7 table, and was hoping to coordinate with the other players in the same tier.
Currently, it looks like the 6-7 table has 3 melee characters and a rogue (who may or may not be a "skill monkey".). This leaves a deficieny in casting, healing, and ranged capabilities.
So what I'm trying to say is: anybody know a 7th level cleric?

I have a bard in that range. We may have another 1 or 2 characters in that range as well. Only about 1/2 of our group has actually signed up yet as we meet this Saturday (Sept 25). I will have a better definite number of players and corresponding characters to e-mail after that. We play in Olympia and have to coordinate rides for a lot of our members, so logistics have to be worked out before firm signups are made.
That said there are 2 rangers in that range and myself (bard). I will keep in touch.

Two rangers and a bard... Three half- casters, all skilled, and cure light wounds wand friendly all. Very nice, especially if your bard has haste and see invis (or glitterdust). Still no fly, but it seems likely at least one of the rangers is an archer. As long as we stick to out of combat healing, we'll be fine.
Alright my tactical/party balance sensibilities are satisfied (although Blake told me I'm overthinking things; I'm just cautious about events with the word "special" in the description)

No fly? Ah man, you're screwed!

All I'm saying is at higher levels, lack of mobility kills. Multiple times recently I've played in parties that were nearly wiped out by (a) eriynes or (b) invisible vampiric spellcasters across giant pits (really, really big pits) because they were a bunch of guys with swords (and no bows) or spellcasters without any sort of mobility spells. (Weren't you at paizo con running said game with invisible vampiric spellcasters)
This isn't showing up in the "Find Events". Maybe more players would come if it did.
Ross is beating the servers mercilessly to find the source of this very annoying bug. Like Mark said, we're about to promote this through other channels.

and while I'm thinking about it, will there be copies of the adventure provided there for those running, or will we be able to get one beforehand? I've played through the event, but haven't run it before myself. I'm decent at running cold, but I do like some preparation time :)
I will be sending out PDF copies to the confirmed GMs tomorrow or Wednesday (assuming Josh gives me the ok), and there should be copies on hand at the store for GMs as well. To be safe, it may be best to print out the PDF I send if at all possible.
As for an Event on Paizo's site, I actually didn't create one yet. I'll go ahead and throw that up there, it seems silly to have forgotten that detail. :D
I will be sending out PDF copies to the confirmed GMs tomorrow ...
Friendly reminder for all coordinators and GMs ... you may not distribute our PDFs under any circumstances. Provide me with the paizo.com account emails of your GMs and I will get them PDF copies. You may distribute physical copies to your GMs. :-)
4-5 hours

Well everyone, it was a GREAT time. I had a blast. It was really nice to put a face to some of these forum handles I've been seeing for the past year. It would be great to try and make it up there some other time. I once again extend a welcome to all of you to join us in Olympia if you ever find yourself down here and need to drop in on a game. I really hope to see more of all of you in the future!

Trebuchet?
I believe the final solution was a block and tackle, though so many suggestions were put forth I can't quite remember which was finally settled upon. No wonder the attackers did so much damage on the other side of the wall, for how long it took to get that mount over.
