PFS2 #6-12 Burning of Greensteeples GM Thread

[Hilary Moon Murphy]

Organizer / GM notes:

I recommend running #3-04 Devil Wrought Disappearance and #3-07 Locked Lodge before running #6-12 Burning of Greensteeples. There are lots of links between #3-04 DWD and #6-12 BoG.

Prep notes:

This is more difficult than normal to prep.

I recommend reading through the whole infiltration chapter of GM Core and printing out page 199 (200 in the PDF) of GM Core as a player (and GM) handout to assist with the infiltration sequence. This infiltration sequence will be challenging / quite difficult for parties without a good skills person to provide the Follow the Expert exploration activity.

(If your party includes Rogues and Investigators, remind them of 'Follow the Expert' and let them shine!)

Remember that some obstacles are Group and others are Individual. The Overcome entry lists whether the PCs need to overcome an object individually or as a group.

For individual obstacles, each PC needs to earn the required number of Infiltration Points themself.
For group obstacles, all PCs working toward that obstacle pool their Infiltration Points toward it together.

Also, the official handouts include the DCs of the Infiltration, which I thought that perhaps the players should not see. So I've redone the Burning of Greensteeples Player Handouts with the intent that handouts 1 and handouts 2 + 3 can be printed on one double-sided page with no spoilers for players from handout 4.

Assorted Handouts

Burning of Greensteeples Player Handouts 1, 2 & 3 - Reprinted and prettified.

Assorted Spells reprinted for GMs - I did this because I'm GMing at a convention and am unsure of the wi-fi connection. Use or ignore if you know them all already.

Top Secret Optional Handout for the Closing Credits:

Seriously, don't read this spoiler unless you are GMing the scenario or have already played it.

Spoiler:

There is talk within the scenario of the 'True Queen of Cheliax' and a surprise sapphire bracelet for Zarta. Since the context of this involves a storyline from before Pathfinder 2nd Edition, I prepared a deep lore dossier on Zarta that might answer some player questions.
Treat this as a post-credits Easter Egg!

TOP SECRET Closing Credits Zarta handout -- Do not use until after the final scene!

I cannot tell you how excited I am to see the return of this plotline from Season 7 of Pathfinder Society 1E.

All hail the true Queen of Cheliax!

Enjoy!

Hmm

Havent read this one yet but hopefully the infiltration system is better implemented, unlike 6-06 where it was completely broken.

The scenario looks really hard.
