ok so..
btw if this is in the wrong spot and it has go be moved thats cool.
..anyway, last night we played the campaign to find this bandit who stole a secpter and convince him to join the PFS.
the problem I faced was the mission I had for Oserion and the Ruby Prince. I had two missions. 1: I had to whisper in the ear of a female martial artist statue "for Glory of the pharohe" or something like that, at the statues head falls off.
and 2nd I had to find this 'Crook of the Pharohe' from the bandit, which I found at the very end of the mission, my orders where to collect and keep it or to return it for a reward.
well at the end, the GM tells me I to make a disable device check to take the statues headoff, the misson cards says I just need whisper in it's ear and it falls off. I rolled high enough on a skill I don't have *>>, and Got it's head (keep your minds outa the gutter XP)
the other one was total bull-$%!#. Cause I found the Crook, and it was disasembled. the GM told me I had to get one of the wizard/slaves to put it back together...which they were gone because I'm chaotic Good and I let them all go and gave them food.
my mission card said "bring the crook back or keep it. it can't beleft in the hands of others." It didn't say it had to be in one piece. In other words...
...I did as mission card instructed, but still fialed the my faction quest because the mission card and the gm's paper didn't agree.
my point is they need to agree. I mean I can understand if you need to make difficult skill check to do mission quests. but I think the mission cards and GM mission acomplishment paper should agree atleast enough so the player has an idea of what they should expect.
If my mission card says "whisper in the statue's ear and itwill fall off" should be just that. now if it had read "whisper in the satue's ear and the head will come loose, should it should be easier to remove it" thats another story, I can see that needing a skill check.
and the thing with the Crook, it didn't say it had to be in one piece, it just said I had to gather it, which I did. Now if it had read, "bring back the Crook, undamaged and intacted
it's not a big deal really. I mean failure is part of a mission I know. Just that the missions need fully informative.
