Enchanted Realms GM call: August 2017

[Sir.Gryphon]

[shadow=red,left]Hail and Well Met Pathfinders![/shadow]

You want to know something crazy?  I am actually getting a jump on scheduling for next month.  I know, insane, right?  Anyway, we have had a lot of requests lately and I thought I'd try to get a jump on them... and I will be gone the last 2 Wednesdays of July so if not now, I'll never get this done.

In August I will start doing PFS character audits again starting with one character per week.  Last time I tried to do 3 characters and that became a full evening event.  I will roll randomly for which of the tables will be picked and then have players and the GM roll randomly until we have a 20.  That person will have one of their characters audited and they will get a little something from me (a die, coin, etc.) as a thank you for the inconvenience.  If any GM who is not running an event wants to help out auditing a character, please let me know and I can hook you up with the form we use.

This month school will be starting for many and I expect attendance to wane a little as the month goes on so we are dropping one game by the end of the month from 5 a week to 4.  If you have any suggestions, it is never too late to ask for a change.

Just as a reminder:

• Games start at 6pm and end at 10pm.  Let's be respectful of our hosts and try to end on time!
• Please make sure that your real name (or at least whatever you'd like me to call you on the schedule) is listed in your post
• Sign up as soon as possible, you can always cancel if you need to
• Any sign ups on the day of the game (Wednesday) may not get a slot at the table, but do show up.  We will always try to fit you in to a game!
• GMs: if you need to cancel, let me know ASAP so I can find a replacement!
• If you want a game scheduled, please ask!

Explore, Cooperate, and Report!

08-24 Raid on the Cloudborne Keep Tier 5-9 GM: Hjal
"Followers of the evil elemental lord of air Hshurha have learned of the Pathfinder Society's plans to break open the Untouchable Opal and release Hshurha's ancient rival. One of Hshurha's lieutenants is gathering forces to deal a decisive blow to the Society and its new allies in the Concordance of Elements. If the PCs act quickly, they can make a daring strike, commandeering an airship on the Plane of Air and overtaking their enemy's fortress before it has the chance to rally its army.
Content in Raid on the Cloudborne Keep also contributes directly to the ongoing storyline of the Silver Crusade faction."

00-14 The Many Fortunes of Grandmaster Torch Tier 1-7 GM: Randy
When four statues of unspeakable power were found in a tomb in Osirion and then stolen, the Pathfinder Society assumed they were gone forever. When they appeared again in the illicit inventory of a Qadiran smuggler in the massive trade city of Sedeq, the Society wasted little time dispatching you there to recover them. Finding the smuggler dead and a familiar face from Absalom responsible, your task quickly becomes a race to retrieve the statues before their brutal power can be unleashed on the citizens of the Satrap. Can you find the statues in time or will Sedeq be swallowed in a plague like none Golarion has ever seen?

During the recent attack on Nerosyan, Pathfinders sought out a local venture-captain to aid in the city's defense. What they found instead suggested the leader had not only fled recently but had played a part in the demons' offensive. Venture-Captain Jorsal has determined that the safety and integrity of the Pathfinder Society requires that a team delve into the sealed basement beneath the abandoned lodge to determine what other plans his turncoat colleague may have set in motion.

The Iroran monastery of Tar Kuata nestled in Osirion's Barrier Wall Mountains is famous both for its extensive history and its curious order of dwarven monks known as the Ouat. When the Society uncovers a dusty field report that identifies Tar Kuata as the home of a strange, otherworldly relic, Pathfinders set off to recover it. However the Ouat are strict judges of perfection, and the PCs must prove their worth if they are to win the monks' trust and treasure.

Life in Taldor is fraught with peril, especially for the crumbling noble houses of the Taldan countryside. One such house, the Bourtze Family, has fallen on hard times and they've informed the Pathfinder Society that, in exchange for a small sum of money, they'd be willing to part with a treasure trove of lore about Qadira's Grand Campaign, the 300-year invasion of Taldor. On your arrival, things quickly turn for the worse and instead of evaluating the worth of a few scraps of historical paper, you must instead retrieve one of the most dangerous artifacts in the empire.

07-14 Faithless and Forgotten, Part 1: Let Bygones Be Tier 1-5 GM: Hjal
Ever since the tragedy at Delvehaven decades ago, the infernal empire Cheliax has rarely allowed Pathfinders to explore its many ruins and archaeological treasures-even then only after its recently disenfranchised liaison Zarta Dralneen fought for that privilege. Cheliax has once again extended its hand to the Society, inviting its agents to investigate an abandoned keep that dates back to the Chelish civil war. It's up to the PCs to navigate the Corentyn's streets and politics as they uncover the buried past and lay the foundation for a new partnership with a one-time foe.

07-12 The Twisted Circle Tier 1-5 GM: Bill
A magical war between the archmages Geb and Nex left the landscape between their nations scarred and wracked by magical anomalies-a barren stretch known as the Mana Wastes. During the conflict, their generals also created countless weapons and defenses that pushed the limits of magic, yet most of these were destroyed in battle or lost forever. Recent investigations suggest that some of this ancient power is at play in an insular town outside Alkenstar, but there the trail runs cold. Can the PCs uncover the truth while braving the residents' eccentricities?

One of Master of Spells Sorrina Westyr's former adventuring companions vanished to the Plane of Earth and was presumed dead. She has recently resurfaced along an old road between the Plane of Earth and the Plane of Fire-one that even the warring forces of the planes' greatest cities had abandoned-and has shown little interest in discussing her circumstances with the Pathfinder Society. Can the PCs uncover why she disappeared and enlist her help in reaching a site on the war-torn and volcanic borderlands?

00-16 To Scale the Dragon Tier 5-9 GM:?
The last remains of a sage from an age long past rests high atop the snow-covered tips of the Fog Peaks in Southern Galt and the Society wants his bones in order to study them and learn from them. They've sent you into a wintry wilderness of primordial beastmen and snow creatures not seen below the snow line to do just that. With the Aspis Consortium also seeking the bones, the race is on to beat them to the top and, once the bones are recovered, to make it back down alive.

07-16 Faithless and Forgotten, Part 2: Lost Colony of Taldor Tier 1-5 GM: Hjal
The Society's excavations continue, now taking the PCs to the long-contested territory of Kharijite-Cheliax's southernmost territory, where the great Arch of Aroden bridges the Hespereth Strait and establishes an Avistani foothold in Rahadoum's backyard. There, an ancient Taldan ruin suggests that empire's great Armies of Exploration traveled even farther than believed possible. Can the PCs uncover the site's secrets-and in doing so reshape the Inner Sea region's history?

07-22 Bid for Alabastrine Tier 1-5 GM: Randy
Decades ago, the merchant nation of Druma anticipated a wave of migrants and built the city Alabastrine to accommodate them. The mass migration never happened. Always seeking a return on investment, Druma recently began auctioning off control of the city to the highest bidders and wealthiest entrepreneurs for five years at a time. The next auction begins soon, and the powerful Aspis Consortium gold agent Myrosype-an enemy of the Society responsible for countless Pathfinders' deaths-is poised to take control of the whole city for her own nefarious ends. The Society has secured a few invitations for the PCs to attend the auction. Can they disrupt the event's delicate politics in order to stop their rival, or will the Aspis Consortium gain an unassailable stronghold?  Content in 'Bid for Alabastrine' also contributes directly to the ongoing storyline of the Exchange Faction. Content in this scenario also ties into a special metaplot element from Pathfinder Society Special #6-98: "Serpents Rise". Players who have completed that special event are encouraged to bring its Chronicle sheet when playing this adventure.

05-02 The Wardstone Patrol Tier 3-7 GM:?
All-out war has erupted on the long-contested border between the crusader nation of Mendev and the demon-infested Worldwound. With the magical defenses that once held the demons at bay failing, defense of the region now falls to small patrols of mobile soldiers to resupply, reinforce, and communicate between the border's many fortresses and outposts. With so much at stake, the Pathfinder Society has enlisted many of its agents to assist in the war effort, both to protect its own interests and to prevent the onrushing tide of demonic attackers from plunging the entire Inner Sea region into chaos. On one such wardstone patrol, however, the party may find itself facing an enemy of an entirely different nature.

Module Plunder & Peril **CORE** Tier 5-7 GM: O.J.
Tall tales of hidden riches are common in the pirate-infested taverns of the Shackles, but when Captain Varossa Lanteri claims to know the location of the secret treasure hoard of legendary Captain Jemma Redclaw, it seems she may be telling the truth. Captain Lanteri hires the PCs on as crew to help her assemble the magic key that will open the door to Redclaw's treasure... and the ancient cyclops stronghold in which it's hidden! Can the PCs survive long enough to claim their share of the lost loot, or will their enemies-or their allies-send them to a watery grave?

Tragedy has struck, and the Society's attention must turn from academics to action as they infiltrate a seemingly impenetrable facility in the heart of Ostenso, one of Cheliax's greatest ports. They must act quickly, for only the distraction of a national holiday can provide the PCs the cover they need to get in, get the job done, and get out without drawing the attention of an entire city's guards.

The eldest daughter of the prominent Blakros family is set to wed an influential Hellknight, and the Pathfinder Society is invited to the festivities. Dressed for a wedding befitting royalty, a team of Pathfinders attend the ceremony on behalf of the Decemvirate, but will their presence ultimately strengthen the Society's relationship with the influential Blakroses, or will events at the wedding bring the already tenuous alliance to a breaking point?

07-01 Between the Lines Tier 1-5 GM: Hillary
Rival explorers have beaten the Pathfinders to a valuable site in Katapesh, but fortunately most of the riches-including the obscure text the Society sought in the first place-have ended up in the capitol's extensive bazaars. What is at first a routine shopping trip spirals out of control as the PCs uncovers the writing's secret past-and secret messages.

Randy, Hillary may need to change not sure about the work schedule. Figured we could get her signed up and then adjust, also they may need to be slightly adjusted. But for now this should be good.

[Sir.Gryphon]

I also plan to GM a few games this month, but I am holding out until a few more GMs get a chance to see the post and step up.  I guess it is time for me to finally push for that next star 

[Hjal Nelson]

I'll sign up to run:

2 August  8-24 Raid on Cloudborne Keep
16-30 Aug  Faithless and Forgotten Parts 1-3

I usually call dibs on Temple of Empyreal Enlightenment for the exact same reason Mark did.. but he beat me to the punch.  I suppose I'll burn a star and sign up to play in it

[Cohma]

Hjal I'd be happy to defer Temple to you that day.

I'm only volunteering to GM so I can grab spots to play the rest of the month.

If you want to GM Temple, I'll GM Vengeance at Sundered Crag instead no problem.  I've never GMd that one.

Just say the word.

If you don't mind a bit of a newbie I can GM the as yet Untitled *Core* on the 2nd and if possible can I play the temple on the 9th?

Thanks,
Scott
