Any potentially friendly sphinx scenarios?


Pathfinder Society

1/5

I have a character that I am planning on going into Living Monolith soon and I would like to complete his Special requirement to get into Living Monolith of "Must have a handcrafted stone scarab worth at least 1,000 gp created and bound to his forehead in a sacred ritual with at least one sphinx or living monolith present." I have already obtained an emerald to fill the role of the stone scarab and affixed it to the front of his skull with sovereign glue. He is of the Scarab Sage (Jewel Sage) faction so I felt it was more thematic. Now I just need to find a scenario that has a sphinx in a potentially friendly encounter in it. I'm not looking for any spoilers (aside from the sphinx bit, I suppose). I know I don't have to complete the special requirement but for this character I would really like to.

A little about the character:
Ob'Seth is a Pahmet dwarf who had served as a tomb guardian in the great pharoah Osezis II's tomb in Osirian. He sought to serve the Jewel Sages in a more direct way and joined the Pathfinder Society. He has met Amenopheus a couple of times and completed missions with him and even worked with him once.

He is a Monk (Sohei)2 / Fighter (Phalanx Soldier) 3 and will be taking one more level of Fighter before diving headlong into Living Monolith and staying there throughout the rest of his career. He wields an Adamantine Lucerne hammer one handed and a Living Steel Heavy Shield in his other. He wears a set of enchanted Obsidian Stone Plate and has a Boulder Helmet. Next level he will be taking the Stalwart feat which he already meets the requirements for. He also has Crane Style. He typically serves the role of a tank and keeps the enemy's attention by threatening a wide area and smacking them squarely in the face with his massive hammer.

He embodies the element of earth in more ways than most dwarves to the extent of his flesh even resembling sandstone. Unlike many dwarves he is less boisterous and more stoic (think Teal'c of Stargate fame).

Does anyone have any suggestions for a scenario that I could have him ran through that has such a potentially friendly encounter with a Sphinx that might be fitting for such a fellow?

The one I know for sure has a sphinx is a 7-11. You can talk to the Sphinx, though it’s not exactly “good.” I feel like I’ve run into it one in a lower tier scenario, but I can’t think of what it was.

Jeff's was the other one I couldn't think of. You can meet a new sphinx after you enter Living Monolith. :) Relive the glory days.

My apologize for only skimming your post. I was only trying to be helpful.

Wei Ji the Learner: Actually familiar with those two. They don't work for ... reasons. ;)

Spoiler:

One is fake, the other is undead and not potentially friendly.

However, thank you for lookin out. :)

Lune:

Bacon Below won't work for the same reason as one of the ones I mentioned, and possibly Ancient's Anguish, for the same reason, just fyi.

Spoiler:
yeah, aside from the tier being too high, that’s the other reason I didn’t actually name the scenario. The series Jeff mentioned is probably the best bet. I don’t remember which part the Sphinx appears in. Maybe Jeff remembers. The whole series is fun, but Lune, you may want it narrowed down some.

Here's Another:
Level 5 of Thornkeep (The Dark Menagerie) has a potentially friendly sphinx. And it's a 5-7 module (that can probably be run in the same amount of time as a standard PFS scenario).

Ah, thank you for that too! :D
