Let's Make This A Grand Grand Lodge

[BIG SKY - VISION]

I've heard grumbling that the Grand Lodge remains only for those who don't fit anywhere else. I think it's time to turn that around! No longer should we tolerate those who have only a passing interesting furthering the Pathfinder Society, or those who only see the Society as an avenue for their own personal advancement.

The Worldwound and Varisian campaigns have increased the notoriety of the Society, yes, but it has also drained our coffers and left us owing favors that we may not want to repay. It's time for us as field agents to double down on providing our own resources and to be more independent. Let's provide additional support and mentoring to new field agents. Let's do what we must to ensure the Society's reputation and success in the coming years.

Loyal Pathfinders to the front!

[Carlos Wagner]

I started out with Drandle Dreng, and next I served Dralneen
But once I put that Wayfinder on, it sparked my greatest scene,
An armor-plated gunslinging knight, by far my favorite role,
All the fey hated me, why haven't they sent me, back to Absalom to patrol!

We need to make the sky key! It's already been too long,
We are wasting the potential of this season, something's wrong!
Find the sky key! It's imperative to try,
Or the Technics'll find it first and then make us fry!

The Pathfinders are overflowing with scum, it's almost as bad as the Szcarni,
There are plenty more artifacts to be found, and can't we recruit some grippli?
We're way behind our schedule we should have fragment three.
There are contacts for hunting Torch, and Blackros, so why not the Key?

We need to make the sky key! I'll never let it go!
You already have got two parts but our funding's way too low!
Find the key! There are robots to hit! I promise that on this quest Torch'll quit!

People thought my arc was lame, and maybe that's the case.
Hardness sucks at tier one, robots like to break your face!
A follow-up kindly comes along, it's decent I admit,
It makes me realize that Numeria actually fits!

So let them find the key! It's sure to be shiny.
The only thing it won't do is remake season three!

Find the key! I'm dreading season seven!
So can't we find the key instead, I'll fight young template kraken!
Find the key! Find the Key! Find the key! Find the key!

Despite her young age she has a very stern and serious demeanor, like she has been part of some terrible things in her lifetime. Her accent betrays her Tien nature.)

I agree. Too many others are concerned with their minor petty squabbles and infuriating politics. They think only of themselves, or of their own goals. Bushidou teaches us that splitting your priorities only splits your focus and lessens you. We have pledged an oath to the pathfinder organization, and that is where we should focus all of our attention.

I am constantly amazed how some members of the pathfinder society will use their position to gain more gold or to operate criminal schemes. I swear, the only reason I do not cut them down where they stand is because I have sworn an oath to co-operate. I cannot be sure, however, that they would not cut me down were our situations reversed, so tenuous is their grasp of what the society is about. Something must be done to bring these wayward pathfinders into line. What do you suggest?

[Quintin Verassi]

I work with the Grand Lodge as that is what my original contract with the Pathfinder Society stipulates. I get to hunt and kill demons for them, they ignore my lesser offenses if I don't embarrass them. This works well for me. Many members of the society refuse to take me up on my healing or legal abilities though. Oh well, Asmodeus has a plan for us all.

[Bloodspeaker Mea Culpa]

"I like the pathfinders cuz I get to adventure and help people and read lots of books! When I'm a adventure captain, I'm gonna start a great-Grand-lodge with my books and my hoard and everyone there can explore and help each other like grand mister torch teached us."

Mea cuts a towering silhouette, with features hinting at a melange of ancestry including Ustalavic, Tien, and Abyssal roots as well as an ever-expanding black dragon influence. Her mouth is too full of needle-like teeth stained a dark crimson, revealing a long-standing habit of taking Shoanti barbarian chew. The plate in front of her is piled with raw meat that's at least a week past its prime and next to it sits a stack of chocolates. Her soft figure strains against the lamellar armor she wears and barely hides musculature that could bend an iron door in half without much effort.
