Post Eyes of the Ten question *Spoilers*

[Theodore Field]

Hi everyone, I've got some questions I was hoping you could help with.

I finished running my players through the EotT four parter at the start of the year and we're picking up the same characters for higher level content shortly.

We've built up some continuity for the characters that I'm keen to continue that. My intention is to briefly outline how various groups have been impacted by the events of Eyes of the Ten, chief amongst them: the Society.

Eyes of the Ten finale spoilers:

Has there been any indication who has been elevated to the Decimverate? Say by Venture Captains suddenly no longer providing missions/briefings, etc.

My intention is for there to have been quite a public bun fight amongst Venture Captains, many being forced to retire or leave as indiscretions, instances of incompetence, etc come to light as the VC's manoeuvre against each other as the vie for the top post. Eventually some are 'retired', 'reassigned' etc as a cover for their ascension, but the average Agent will just have seen a pile of promotions to VC to cover a batch of retirements and some unsavoury stories surfacing.

I don't plan on revealing directly to the players who has ascended, but if you know any names that are a good fit or who are implied to have been promoted, it'll flavour the info they'll receive about what happens.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

To answer your question

:

I don't think there are any indications who has ascended to fill the vacancies in the ranks of the Decemverate. The EYOT series kind of starts off the year of the shadow lodge arc.

Once you get through the EYOT your players are 13.2 level. The two specials that allow for 12+ level players are Race for the Rune Carved Key and Siege of the Diamond Citadel. There is also the three new scenarios #7-14, #7-16, #7-18, All for Immortality parts I , II, And III which are 12-15 level.

There also modules like Acadamey of Secrets, Tomb of the Iron Medusae and others. there may be some things I have forgotten.

I hope this is helpful

Spoiler:

Why are you so sure that Decimvirate members are dead? The only evidence you have is letters. Anyone can write a letter.

Consider this there is a vast difference between the information you see, the information you uncover, and the information that is presented to you.

- of course I have always favored the more intricate conspiracy concepts for the Decimvirate.

Spoiler:

Why do you think anyone new was needed? Resurrection magic is freely available at that level.

Since we are speculating about members of the Ten, did I miss something in Part 1? I was just reading over the Summary section from part 2 and saw

Summary from top of p. 4:

After the PCs uncovered a traitor within the Pathfinder Society and saved the life of a member of the mysterious Decemvirate, Venture-Captain Eliza Petulengro sends them back into the Maze of the Open Road to investigate the further activities of Adril Hestram, thwart his ongoing plans, and protect his next target or targets for assassination.

The only person the PCs really saved in part 1 was

the Red Raven?!

You didn't hear this from me:

An source that insisted on anonymity has claimed that following several upheavals that have been hushed-up by the Society's upper-echelons, 6 of the current Decemvirate members are really aliases of Grandmaster Torch, 3 of them are close family members of Torch with geas spells placed on them by Torch, and the last has been placed under several layers of mental domination by Torch.

Thanks for your input everyone, lots of good points for me to consider.
