  This month will be different. Paizo only released one scenario for August, so I am going to try to fill in with a few things different. I was going to start with the Pathfinder Trials - a chance to make a new character for Season 3. Then a return to the one-shots, an opportunity to try a different ancestry and class combo. Week 3 will be more of an open session, we’ve had a mixed group the last few months and while I know there are a lot of people that can play a 3-6 there are still some that need 1-4, unfortunately this may be a repeat for a lot of people, so I’llset four 1-4 quests. The final week will be a couple of sessions of the first Season 3 game.

  PF2E 03-12: Fury's Toll Tier 1-4 - GM1: Richard, GM2: OJ
  
  When a group of Pathfinders sent to establish a presence at the Society's new lodge in Sedeq, Qadira, failed to report back, the Society sent a second group to investigate. When they arrived, they found the lodge in disrepair. A powerful genie confronted them, demanding that if they ever wanted to see the missing Pathfinders again, the Pathfinders must complete three tasks for the genie's cruel master!
  
  With the tasks completed and the missing Pathfinders safe and sound, it is now time to prepare the lodge for a grand opening celebration. Important figures from all across Qadira have been invited to attend—including some potential allies—and the Society is counting on its agents to ensure the event goes off without a hitch. The Society's future in Qadira may depend on the success, or failure, of this event!
  
  Unfortunately, the Society's hidden enemy is well aware of the celebration's importance. Outraged by the Society's success in reclaiming the lodge, he has once again laid a trap for the Pathfinders and their guests. One way or another, he intends to exact a terrible price.
  
  Fury's Toll is part of the ongoing story of the Year of Shattered Sanctuaries. It is the second scenario in a two-part arc detailing the events befalling a Pathfinder Society lodge in the nation of Qadira. The first part of this arc is Pathfinder Society Scenario #3-08: Foundation's Price. Other arcs explore other locations across the Inner Sea. While the arcs can be played in any order, it is recommended that players experience the scenarios within each individual arc in order.

  PF2E 02-02: Mountain of Sea and Sky Tier 3-6 - GM Erik
  
  Venture-Captain Amari Li has called for assistance in establishing new Pathfinder lodges throughout Tian Xia! The mountainous island of Kayajima, in northwestern Minkai, would be an ideal site, as it sits atop a convergence of powerful—though long-dormant—ley lines that could offer valuable protection for a future lodge. Rather than lay claim to the island by force, the Pathfinders must treat with the island's animals and spirits, securing their blessing for a ritual to restore the island's magic and establish the newest Pathfinder lodge.

  PF2E 01-17: The Perennial Crown Part 2, The Thorned Monarch Tier 3-6 - GM Richard
  
  In part 2 of The Perennial Crown, the PCs must evade the fearsome fey known as the Thorned Monarch. This unrelenting tyrant will stop at nothing to hunt down the PCs and claim their discoveries for itself, bringing to bear not only its awesome physical and magical power, but also manipulating the innocent Bhopanese citizens in its desperate attempts to stop the PCs from fleeing Bhopan with the one item that could put an end to the evil fey's ambitions.

  PF2E 02-05 Balancing the Scales Tier 1-4 - GM Jen
  
  Doom stalks the streets of Cassomir! The people of Admiral's Fen have long been doughty pioneers and sailors, but time and tribulations both natural and economic have worn down their spirits. Amid this widespread gloom and general depression, dark forces have begun pulling strings to begin a societal collapse that could take the entire city under. Venture-Captain Hestia Themis calls on her allies in the Pathfinder Society to try and help her unravel the twisting skeins of manipulation and deceit before Cassomir's final doom is assured.

  PF2E 01-19: Iolite Squad Alpha Tier 3-6 - GM Damon
  
  The newly formed hobgoblin nation of Oprak has reached out to the Pathfinder Society in the name of diplomacy. Mindful of the aid Oprak could provide against the threat of the Whispering Tyrant, the Society has dispatched the PCs to escort a trial squad of hobgoblin recruits and run them through some in-the-field Pathfinder training. Will the Iolite Squad be the first in a new wave of Pathfinders, or are Oprak’s attempts at diplomacy doomed to go up in smoke?
