The Sauna Lodge graduates its first Venture-Captains

[Jussi Leinonen]

Tonight, Finland finally got its first in-game Venture-Captains when a party of five characters finished Eyes of the Ten, pt. IV. It was an honor for me to GM the Eyes of the Ten series for them, as these were characters who had often played with each other for a long time.

Spoiler:

They completed most of the Season 4 high-level arc together, and defeated Krune before starting the Eyes arc. Three of them (Cadwynn, Karim and Trinie) played together already in their first PFS game, First Steps pt. 1 in October 2011, which was also my very first session as a PFS GM. Kresentius (a character dating all the way back to Season 0) and Arna joined in a bit later and they could be considered a party on their own right already a year ago.

Also, I have to say that Eyes of the Ten was an absolute blast to run. The only complaints I have are that a well prepared, Season-4 hardened party will find the encounters mostly very easy, and that with Requiem rising the bar incredibly high (please, can we have more of these?), the rest of the series can't quite reach that level of awesome.

So let me introduce and congratulate:

Venture-Captain, Eagle Knight Arna Kaarnatar - Human Fighter 1 / Ranger 12
Best remembered for: transforming Krune into a pincushion

Venture-Captain Cadwynn Ablamar - Human Inquisitor of Asmodeus 12 / Shadowdancer 1
Best remembered for: became, and still is, a member of the female sex (also: picking the Asmodean Demon Hunter trait, not encountering a demon until around level 8)

Venture-Captain Karim "Sword of the Grand Lodge" Izanor - Half-Orc Barbarian 13
Best remembered for: picking dubious targets for his bite attack while enraged, from crocodiles to ghouls

Venture-Captain Kresentius Chartagnian - Human Wizard (Conjurer) 13
Best remembered for: numerous teleportation shenanigans

Venture-Captain Trinie Valrune, Human Sorcerer 13
Best remembered for: beating a succubus in a catfight

Now I'd like to invite those members of the party who lurk these boards as characters who shared adventures with them to share some memories.

I met Karim in Southern Galt and tried to get into bed with him but he wouldn't do it!

Me and Kresentius be big buddies! Though he had many more bigger buddies to take all dem funnies away from me to smash. Me not happy...
