Christian, we'll aim for a 5:30 PM start time.

Just wondering for my table. I skimmed the scenario and it seems quite long. Would like to start as early as possible.

Please post what class & level your PC is.

Illustrious Associates,

I write on behalf of newly commissioned Venture-Captain Stella Fane. The Pathfinder Society has need of
your services again in an expedition to the Mwangi Expanse. New information has come to light regarding
members of the Open Road Pact and their adventures in said region.
The venture-captain shall impart specific details of the mission to you later. However, you are to be the lead team for an expedition that starts in the Sodden Lands at the mouth of the Frogmarch River. From there, you are to proceed inland, exploring a few sites along the way.
I say lead team, because a support team of experts and others shall follow the trail you forge. Although these secondary personnel have guards, we suspect you would agree that your skill allows you to trailblaze and move faster than they. To be clear, your responsibilities include marking a trail for this slower group
and clearing said trail of hazards. This entourage shall rejoin you late each day to provide you with supplies to aid your trek and to help you catalog and store any important finds.
You set sail with Venture-Captain Stella Fane aboard the Risen Albatross at dawn in five days. If that schedule is not agreeable, please report it to the lodge or Venture-Captain Fane, who can be found fitting the Risen Albatross in the Docks, or else most likely at the closest tavern to the ship, the Spinning Coin.

Sincerely,
Amita Dugada, senior clerk

Greetings fellow seekers of knowledge!

The Society has been presented with a unique opportunity and I think you’re just the ones to help out. As you have likely heard, Absalom has recently become the home of a group of goblin refugees displaced by the Whispering Tyrant’s armies. They have settled in the Puddles, quite content to live in some of the abandoned buildings there.

We’ve also learned from Ziraya al-Shurati, a Muckrucker in the Puddles, that the goblins have been digging around in the basement of the old playhouse that belonged to the Greater Absalom Performing Arts Guild. They’ve claimed this building as their own. In the process, they stumbled across some manner of beast they could not defeat but instead managed to seal away. With the local guards, the Muckruckers, unwilling to help, we have a perfect opportunity to step in and learn something new about the history of Absalom.

Several of our more experienced goblin Pathfinders have been working hard to build inroads into the goblin community, and this has led to an offer by “king” Zusgut to hear our plea. Your job is to meet Zusgut, explain that we wish his permission to explore beneath his playhouse, and then perform an initial exploration and assessment. You’ll likely not have much time for exploration given the tides probably flood the chambers below each day, but do your best!

Sincerely,
Drandle Dreng

P.S. I almost forgot! Eando Kline of the Vigilant Seal is watching this mission closely. He’s worried about ancient evils being released into the world by Pathfinders and what that will do to the public’s impression of us. While I know such things can’t always be avoided, it would be best if you either destroyed anything dangerous that you find down there or if you must bring it back to the Lodge, be very discreet!

Greater Absolom Preforming Arts Guild
Puddles, Absalom

Flickering torches fail to fully illuminate this large auditorium within the mostly‑ruined playhouse. Hints of the former beauty and majesty of the building are marred by the smell of mildew and ever‑present water puddles. The northern end of the space is occupied by a raised stage, with a large chair that must have once been used as a throne in a theatrical production long ago.

Goblins move throughout the room, some gathered in small clusters roasting food over open fires, others sleeping in what remains of the auditorium’s chairs. On the crumbling balcony, a goblin choir rehearses, each member singing a different song, or perhaps the same song with different words, lyrics, and tempo. Goblin children chase each other about, their leashes dangling from their necks as they screech and shout. Occasionally a leash catches on a bit of furniture or rubble, bringing the wearer crashing to the ground while their companions laugh uproariously.

From atop the throne a voice rings out, cutting across the chaos, clear and annunciated, although obviously still a goblin’s. “Oho, what’s this! Another group looking to throw their hats into the ring, as it were? Probably the Pathfinders I was expecting.” There is an angry yell from a group of humans wearing armor and bearing sheathed weapons dimly visible near the stage. The goblin turns and addresses the interruption from the grousing warriors. “Now, now. I never said anything about exclusive rights, did I? Hah!

“So, Pathfinders. I’m sure you’ve heard about our trouble with a creature in the basement. What is it your organization is willing to do for my kingdom, and why should I let you go instead of these fine folks?” he asks, gesturing to the warriors.

Posting again. If you're going to sign up for a game, please check the threads occasionally. It's important in case there are changes, like cancellations or the like, or the GM has questions.

If I don't get a reply from the three of you today by 2pm, I'll assume you aren't playing and will cancel. PM or text me, if needed.

Christian,

Jeff has his -2002 Cian the Druid at Level 6.
William's rogue Andear (-2001) is also 6th, I believe.
I haven't heard back from Michael, but Raziel (-2001), his ZonKuthonite Cleric is 5th.

[CDragos]

Dammit. I wish I had known this earlier. Ok.
We need to let people know to keep an eye on the threads and to reply to their GM asap.

Thank you.

[jbutz]

I'm trying Christian. I'm trying. My last two sessions started with, "Who read the backstory on the forums?" I got one hand raised.

If you've got any pressing questions that need answering and I can help, feel free to hit me up on Facebook.

I was going to play Ashur-Fighter 3, but I can play Cian.
