Two points about that.
1) Sometimes scenarios include a MacGuffin someone needs for their faction, but it would make a lot of sense for everyone else to want to bring it somewhere else. Golden idols, gems etcetera. Can be a bit problematic for common sense. Best way to deal with this is to assume that:
Speaking of faction goals, is there an NPC faction leader in this scenario who could be considered a dominatrix? (I'm guessing an inquisitor to Calista, though maybe not) And if so, would it be in the scenario or appropriate to the scenario for that NPC to use her skills to punish a player who failed a faction mission?
A new player I know online (not local) confided in me that the above happened in this PFS adventure and she's curious if it's in the adventure itself or if the GM added it. Overall she had a good experience playing, thought the other players were nice, etc. She's not even complaining about the faction punishment or the GM. She's just trying to figure out if it is an option in the scenario or if the GM added it.
If this happened at my local FLGS, I'd have a better sense of it because I know the DMs and/or could ask around but since this person is a few states away, I figured asking about the written scenario here would help to clarify it.
Thanks!
Sounds like that was off-script, the scenario doesnt go into any punishments for failing a faction mission. You j just don't get your boon.
Now, equating Zarta with one of those lawless, capricious Calistrians with no respect for the heirarchy of dominance? That DOES merit her special brand of punishment.
