I'll take Quizrel, the rogue.

If we don't get 2 more players for Little Trouble by 6pm tonight, I'm gonna have to cancel. Four to five trouble-making kobolds is much more fun than just two.

I'd prefer to just postpone it for a couple weeks or next month to give more time to get more players.

Christian, working on finding out where two players I know are planning on being there want to sit.

Pregame spoilers for PFS 2E #2-02 – Mountain of Sea and Sky (Level 3-6) (Envoys Alliance)

Pathfinder,

I hope this letter finds you well. I’ve been working on possibilities on expanding the Pathfinder presence in Minkai, and I believe I have found an excellent location for a brand-new Pathfinder lodge. I have recently learned that a small island just off the coast of Sakakabe Province called Kayajima is potentially located on a favorable convergence of dormant ley lines. We have reason to believe that if we could restore the island’s power, it would be of great use in protecting any lodge we would establish. Not only that, but the island’s diplomatic location in relation to Minkai, Xidao, and the Forest of Spirits would be a great boon to expanding Society presence in the region. I’ve secured approval from Sakakabe’s provincial government for this mission, so you should encounter no difficulties in that regard.

I have spoken to my protege, Kukuha Mukai, and have requested her to meet you in Sakakabe proper to travel to Kayajima to see whether it would be a fitting location for a lodge. She’s somewhat an expert in the field of ley lines, so she’s the perfect person to oversee this endeavor. Kukuha will be your point of contact for this mission.

I’ve chartered a voyage from a former Pathfinder, Masuhei Okonase, who retired from the Pathfinder Society to become an oyster fisher. He still helps out the Society from time to time, and he’s a great asset to have in Sakakabe. He knows the waters around Sakakabe well and will be ready to transport you to Kayajima when you arrive.

Best of luck to you,
—Venture-Captain Fola Barun

Sakakabe, Minkai

Sakakabe bustles on this clear, humid summer morning. The constant buzz of conversation and commerce echoes over the concentric terraces leading up the hillside from the town’s port. Wagons clatter their way across cobbled streets, their wares bound for export on waiting cargo ships. Oyster boats are returning to port from the north, their nets filled with the morning’s catch. The air smells of brine and seaweed.

Fishers and merchants alike clatter across the pier, with shouted orders and affirmations traded from vessel to cart to street. Farther down, a beaming, older Minkaian man waves his burly, tanned arms from beside a rickety boat. “Ahoy there! Always good to see fellow Pathfinders in these parts. Name’s Masuhei Okonase, former Pathfinder agent and current oyster fisher extraordinaire! Good old Fola reached out and asked me to lend a hand, and I’m always happy to help out where I can.

“So, Fola tells me that you’re headed out to Kayajima to scout some ground for a new Pathfinder lodge? That’s quite exciting! We don’t get much Pathfinder activity in the area, and I’d love to see the Society have a more permanent presence here. Might even inspire me to pick up the old wayfinder again, ha!

“I’m ready to take you to Kayajima when you’re ready. If you need to pick up anything before we head out, the markets should have everything you could need. Just let me know when you’re ready to set sail.”

Where’s Kukuha?
“Oh right, you were supposed to meet up with her here. I ferried her out to Kayajima a couple days ago. She decided that she wanted to head out early to spend some time getting familiar with the island’s geography.”

Where exactly are we going on the island?
Masuhei scratches his head. “Hmm, I believe you’re headed to the fortress, which isn’t too far inland from where I’ll drop you off. At least that’s what Kukuha said when I dropped her off. Should be a pretty straight shot, if I’m not mistaken. I can point out the path when we arrive, it's just a bit further inland from the rock pier where we'll dock.”

What do you know about the island?
Masuhei ponders for a moment, then answers. “Well, from what I learned back in my school days, the island used to host Sakakabe’s military forces. At some point in our history, the island was abandoned. It wasn’t worth the effort holding an island off the coast, so provincial leadership decided to consolidate forces on the mainland. Not many people make their way out there nowadays. Don’t think there’s much of value, and the silver and fishing industries are booming, so there’s no need to overextend ourselves.”

What do we need to bring to the island?
“My understanding was that it’ll take you a day to do what you need to do, according to Kukuha. From my experience, pretty much any piece of adventuring gear can be useful with a little cleverness, but you can never go wrong with a potion or elixir to patch up scrapes, and some food and water for the road. The island’s got a mountain, so some climbing gear wouldn’t hurt.”

Know anything about the convergence of ley lines?
“I’ve heard of their power in Minkai’s ancient past, but they must have gone out long ago, if they even existed at all. Hope this trip will be worth your while!”

William, on the previous page in one of my posts is a link to the Kobold Pregens. Pick one of those (Simeek & Quizrel are already taken) and let me know which one you choose. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the kobold's stats, abilities, spells, etc. before tomorrow's game. I want to keep rulebook referencing to a minimum.

Luckily, I played it in a 3 week long PbP session with a ton of hilarious roleplaying.

For members of the Kobold Hookclaw clan only!!! All others will be bitten on the kneecaps!

Excitement buzzes in the air throughout the Hookclaw warren. Kobolds drop their work and peer out from the tunnels to watch as you pass. You have been chosen for a most important mission. Tunnelmaster Miknik is anticipating your arrival. As you enter the chamber, the tunnelmaster gives a cue to the nearby workers, who pry away wooden boards and chunks of stone from the narrow mouth of a tunnel. The workers who dug this passage sealed it up as soon as they saw what was on the other side. It has remained closed—waiting for you—until now.

From where you stand, you can see rich fabric on hangers, exquisite vases, and wooden crates with unknown prizes inside. Just a fraction of this wealth could enable the Hookclaws to live in more comfort than they have in generations. But Hookclaws are smart, and they know when things are too good to be true. That’s where you come in.

“Secure the chamber!” Tunnelmaster Miknik barks. Once you ensure the treasure trove is safe, the Hookclaws can claim its valuables. “Standard Hookclaw hazard pay! First pick of anything you find, up to what you can carry! Be careful!”

I've taken the liberty of making the kobolt pregens into character sheet, this week be more helpful for playing and understand faster.

William,
Thanks for those conversions! Unfortunately I don't see one for Quizrel the rogue. Do you have one for him?
I do have a copy of the module with the pre-gens, though.

[jbutz]

Christian, you wanna volunteer to GM again in two weeks? I've got at least two people who've already done Flooded Kings Court.

Sure! What should I GM?

[jbutz]

My notes show Matt hasn't played 1-2, 1-4, 1-5, 1-7, 1-8, 1-20*, 1-21*, 1-23*, 1-24*, and 1-25* .

If we cross-reference that with what William hasn't played, I hope we'll find at least one we can run.

(* haven't been run at Mythic yet)

[CDragos]

I'll GM #1-20: The Lost Legend. It has the Metaplot tag.

Cheers!
