The Pathfinder Society discovers an Aspis Consortium base in an ancient Vudran temple now encased in a glacier and sends the PCs to infiltrate it and investigate the extent of the rival organization's regional operations. Can the PCs get in the well-guarded Aspis outpost and escape with their lives and the information the Society seeks?

Please post the xml file for your character along with your last chronicle sheet and your inventory sheet below.

[Skellan]

Its your turn to hit me now :) I will make up a character and post him here shortly.

I have ran this before so if you'd rather I didn't play that's cool. Also, if there's a lot of interest I'll give up my place for someone who hasn't done it

[RobG]

Yeah that's fine I'm sure you won't spoil it for anyone while I'm trying to kill you ;-)

I'll leave you 'pending' for now.

I've got the files already for Rhia, the other player who's signed up.

Hi

You should still have my character from the last time I played and my chronicle sheet(don't think I picked it up after the last game I played)

[RobG]

Cool, all Matthius's stuff is here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/2qn61atv0uilcne/XiEWFOvAkH

I re-arranged my drop-box a while back..

[Blakjack]

Hey, I have level 3 Conjurer but I am plying PFS tonight so I will get you most recent docs tomorrow. Character sheet should be mostly the same though...

[Beerholder]

Sassan (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/evma3z539mkbmee/0ZJ6NHZNdA) might join in at level 3, but there's also Dareios (https://www.dropbox.com/home/PFS%20Dareios) at level 2, if we want to keep the levels low.

[RobG]

I kinda want to keep the levels low so Dareios would be best, though his link doesn't work :-(

[KBoom]

I've been looking to put together a fighter. I'm running 1st Steps on the 14th with her, I'll drop her off here after I get the chronicles for that.

EDIT - I'll go ahead and just put the dropbox link in. No chronicles, yet. 1st Steps will be her first one.

[Lord Kavos]

Hi all,

Have signed up as well - though there was already 6 players on the calendar...only just saw the notice for this game :-(

Would like to play, but understand if I cant get in.

[RobG]

Skellen has run the scenario before so is kinda the reserve player. So if you want to play post your stuff. People often drop out in any case.

[Lord Kavos]

Hi Rob,

Just has to pull out of the other game I was signed up for this week, so hoping a spot opens up...

Here are my files anyway.

[Skellan]

Yeah, take my place mate :)

Phew! I get to escape Rob's revenge :)

[Lord Kavos]

Thanks skellan your a champ!

[RobG]

Cool so we almost have a full game, still waiting to see Blackjack's character.

[cmdisc]

Hey all. I know things are looking pretty full. I just saw this and figured I'd jump on board the waiting list and see what happens come gametime. Character info posted below.

[RobG]

No reply from Blackjack so cmdisk you are in :-)

[cmdisc]

Thanks, Rob. :) Sorry Blackjack couldn't make it, but I'm glad to be onboard all the same.

[Angloson]

Alright, I know I'm abysmally late in signing up. However, if fate intervenes, someone may cancel. :)

So, I'm attaching my rather old, young character. Since I've only played one other PFS game, I'm still learning the ropes of this Society-type of play. If there's not a spot, I'll just jump into another game in the future.

Thanks,
Rob

Hey this file for Megan looks like it was just straight export from HeroLab as an XML file. To create an XML file to import into Fantasy Grounds you need to 'Save Custom Output' in HeroLab and select Fantasy Grounds, this will create a .hlfg file. You then need to use the Character Converter to import your character into Fantasy Grounds.

It's kinda explained on this page: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?16961-How-to-export-PCs-ready-for-a-game

[KBoom]

Well, that explains that.

[RobG]

Cool I've imported Rayklann as a reserve should someone fail to arrive.

I'll have the server up an hour early, please can everyone try and connect early so we can sort out any technical issues before the start time.

If you are late you may loose your spot.

[RobG]

Info dump.. if you check out this stuff before the game things will make a lot more sense.

Megan's Dropbox (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/btsvfb87h9dtgqy/dhb_AEyhho) That should have everything I just updated for Megan. It has an .xml file which I just updated in Fantasy Grounds, and an .hlfg file in case it doesn't work. It also has her tracking sheet and first chronicle sheet... I haven't received the last chronicle sheet from Keht, yet, from 3 days ago. So here's some additional info: Chronicle Sheet - 3 Starting Gold - 180.73gp Starting Fame/PP - 4/4 Starting XP - 2/3 If I missed something, let me know and I'll get it to you as soon as I can, but have a lunch date right now. Thanks!

Thanks, Megan is imported ready to go.

[Beerholder]

Sorry fellas, got a last minute emergency here and I wont be able to attend. Good luck!

[RobG]

In the Grand Lodge of Absalom, center of operations of the world-spanning Pathfinder Society, the party is summoned by the Master of Spells, Aram Zey, who has instructed them to meet him in a vault deep below Skyreach—and to dress warmly.

5426

A five-by-seven-foot tapestry hangs on the wall, surrounded by a series of platforms and ladders to allow a close view of any spot upon it. The room is otherwise empty, save for the Pathfinder Society’s Master of Spells, Aram Zey, who paces impatiently before the Hao Jin Tapestry, glancing up as the door creaks open.

“Thank you for your quick arrival, Pathfinders,” Zey says curtly, speaking without making eye contact, as though his mind is moving faster than his mouth. As he continues his focused pacing, he gestures toward the tapestry.

“As I’m sure you know, we recently came into possession of this wonder behind me—the Hao Jin Tapestry—by winning the Ruby Phoenix Tournament in distant Goka. Within this piece of fabric lies an entire world in which one of Golarion’s greatest magicians placed treasures and mysteries beyond imagining. And it was supposed to be ours alone. This promise of exclusive access was made a lie, however, when the Aspis Consortium found a way into Hao Jin’s astral vault that bypassed the tapestry altogether, and Aspis agents are now busy stealing whatever they can move, hoping we will act too slowly to protect our winnings. Fortunately, a recent mission into the tapestry managed to uncover a clue about a possible Aspis base within the tapestry. That is your destination.

“The camp, interestingly, is within a great stone temple complex uprooted from the Vudran jungle many centuries ago by the sorceress herself. Since her disappearance, that part of the tapestry has been encased in a massive glacier. This temple—dedicated to a Vudran monkey-god, we believe— could prove enlightening on its own, notwithstanding the Aspis presence there. It’s a grim thought imagining what the Consortium has done to the place, but apparently more than three-quarters of it is still protected by the glacier, so we can still salvage a great deal.

“Vanaras—the simian humanoids responsible for constructing this temple—are great builders, and this temple is representative of the huge complexes that once graced the Vimada Forest before their wars with men and the rise of Khiben-Sald. It’s a representation of the cosmos, really, a series of nested squares with symbolic shrine-mountains all directed toward great Bahmenu, the mountain birthplace of the god Ragdya and, the vanaras believe, the center of the universe. This symmetry may serve you well, since it will help you predict the layout and functions of the temple as you make your way around it. Every corner of the temple will be fitted with a small shrine, all facing the symbolic mountain.”

“Even an abandoned temple is a holy place to the vanaras, as it is to most of us Vudrani as well, and we hope you respect that fact. If you can save the sanctuary from the insolence of the gods-damned Aspis, it may draw the mirthful and enlightened eye of Ragdya himself upon our Society.”

Thanks for playing all, it was fun, a few hairy moments but it's boring if it's too easy.

You competed both objectives so get 2 prestige points.

Download the attached chronicle sheet, fill it in as best you can and upload it again (or email it to me) so I can sign it and sent it back. If you are buying anything it goes in the notes section at the bottom. Don't forget your cold weather gear.

Day Job rolls:
Megan: 22
Rhia: 8
Julius: 12

[Lord Kavos]

Thx for the game rob. Won't get this done & back to u until later today (night for you).

On the doing note, ill start a thread asking what mods some of the more experienced dms/players want me to run. Happy to run some new ones if you guys like.

Thx again.

[KBoom]

Thanks for the game! Had a lot of fun, and look forward to going back to claim my slaves.

[Lord Kavos]

Hi Rob,

Here's Julius' sheet. (used adobe this time :) )

thx again for the game.

[cmdisc]

Great Game. RL was distracting me for the first half of it, but it all turned out well in the end. Mind we may want to have another look at the warranties on that wand and some of those rubber swords....

Chronicle attached. Rob, can you fire me back a copy of Katerine's XML?

[RobG]

Rob, can you fire me back a copy of Katerine's XML?

Here you go.

[RobG]

Thanks for the game! Had a lot of fun, and look forward to going back to claim my slaves.

The items you have listed at the bottom of your chronicle sheet add up to more money than you seem to have.

[RobG]

Here's the signed chronicles for Julius and Katerine.

[geanon]

Hey Rob thanks for the game, here's my chronicle sheet, hope I've done it correctly for you.

[RobG]

Hey Rob thanks for the game, here's my chronicle sheet, hope I've done it correctly for you.

All looks good to me, looks like Mr Sleepy is 2nd level now :-)

[KBoom]

Yeah, I was trying to be fancy and return a bunch of equipment in for alternate gear before leveling out of first, but decided to just keep what I had to make things easier.

[cmdisc]

Thanks. Everything is looking in order. I appreciate the chance for Kat to squeeze in and find her way to 2nd level. See you all around the boards and games. :)

[RobG]

Yeah that's a bit clearer.
