The Blackros Museum (and family)


Lost Omens Campaign Setting General Discussion

Is it me.. or would it be safer for Absalon to simply burn down their museum and pave it over with several tons of heavy rock?

Don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to playing in (and GMing) several of the adventures but it seems to me after the 2nd or 3rd time the players hear the words 'We lost contact with the people at the Blackros..." they'd start looking for fire starting sources and a ton of salt to sow in the soil.

Just saying. :D

lol

Well, it's made of a single piece of obsidian, shaped by a long-dead (or is he?) wizard, so it may take more than that... Besides, the Blakros family is responsible for training more Pathfinders than almost anyone else!

Love the Blackros museum. So much fun.

You know, I said the same thing about the beach from Baywatch and Camp Crystal Lake for years. Two of the most dangerous pieces of land in all of America.

Don't know if anyone noticed or not, but it looks like there are at least two scenarios involving the Blakros family this season.

Quote:

#4–09: The Blakros Matrimony

A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for levels 3–7.

The eldest daughter of the prominent Blakros family is set to wed an influential Hellknight, and the Pathfinder Society is invited to the festivities. Dressed for a wedding befitting royalty, a team of Pathfinders attend the ceremony on behalf of the Decemvirate, but will their presence ultimately strengthen the Society's relationship with the influential Blakroses, or will events at the wedding bring the already tenuous alliance to a breaking point?

Quote:

#4-EX: Day of the Demon

A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for levels 3–7.

The Blakros family, long an ally of the Pathfinder Society, has come into possession of a manor house in the imperial nation of Cheliax, where a once prominent noble family was known to practice diabolism before the Age of Lost Omens. The Pathfinders' task is simple: clear the abandoned manor of any remaining threats before the Blakroses move in. Unfortunately, the estate hasn't sat empty as long as the Blakroses think it has, and its recent inhabitants were anything but the devil-worshipers who originally built the manor.

Nice... although the family is a little close to the Black Tapestry for my liking.

This is what got me thinking about this. I can see my Musket Master/Grenadier looking for load bearing columns after the 2nd or 3rd trip through it. :D

But one of them isn't at the museum.

And, to be honest, I am fairly sure that the museum has had a lot less casualties, total, than, say that opera house in Oppara. Yeesh.

Oh yeah..that's another spot in need of some well placed bombs on load bearing pilings... with lots of alchemist fire.

This is a beautiful statement. Sometimes, you have to wonder about common sense in Absalom.

What can I say? Sometimes Kyrie's character creeps into my head and asks things like this..

as well as...

"Why the hell do I get sent to utter frozen wastelands when I am from temperate climes and speak Kellish and Osirion?"

Or..

"We have to bring that person back alive..why?"

Or..

"You want us to take a handful of WHAT? Across three days of frozen waste? I'm Pathfinder..not a Gods-damned babysitter!"

Considering all the terrifying and mind-controlling abberations out there in the Dark Tapestry, "mad astronomers" seems to be the standard for Golarion.

I've tried to get one of my characters into every single Blackros scenario, just so she can respond to the Venture-Captain's first sentence with an exasperated, "Oh, what is it this time!?"

Grand Lodge

Same but with the aim of making my character a hunter of Lovecraftian style horrors.

A good thing San loss is not part of the game... this guy has seen some messed up stuff and he's only 2nd level.
