#2-03: The Rebel's Ransom
A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 5th to 9th level characters (Tiers: 5–6 and 8–9).
Saturday 24th January 6.00pm GMT
Run Time: 5 Hours

The Ruby Prince of Osirion sends you to the Parched Dunes to find what became of a secret Pathfinder expedition sent there to recover artifacts for the Ruby Prince himself. What you find there may very well end the Pathfinder Society as you know it.

No, I'm not, just got reminded of a previous engagement. :cry:

[Lord Kavos]

Thx for the invite earlier in the week skellan, but will have to pass on this one seeing I'm on holidays in Sydney (and daylight savings would mean getting up an hour earlier for this game anyway)...

[Skellan]

Thanks everyone for being super with-it and getting your character xmls to me. Rivver, are you playing Kyra?

[Skellan]

and does anyone have level 7 Kyra? hehe

The server is up btw and will be until the game start in case anyone wants to mess with their characters

We will use the new TS server:
Teamspeak: ts.fg-con.com (altennate server in case of trouble: voice.fg-con.com)
Password: Dungeoneers

[Rivver]

Kyra is fine by me and Holognome has one as I played her last week :)

[HoloGnome]

Here you go.

[HoloGnome]

Can't connect to server @ quiet turtle ugly dungeon - check alias/firewall?

[HoloGnome]

Great job, Skellan! Thanks for running this one - really an interesting mix of challenges. Great job everyone - lots of fun!

[Myrddin]

Yep, thanks for running Skellan. Great fun. Well done all.

Tremlin's pre-chronicle attached. No purchases, other than those in-game listed.

[Skellan]

Well done everyone, thanks for playing. Sorry for the run time.
I think everyone had their moment when they shined this evening. Karrack with his double death cleave, Janecks washing machine, prindle's mummy friend, Kyra's stat healing and curse removal; and there was some great puzzle deduction by all.
Hope you all had a fun evening (or whatever time it was)

[Blackfoot]

Was I just not paying attention or was this...

The Ruby Prince of Osirion sends you to the Parched Dunes to find what became of a secret Pathfinder expedition sent there to recover artifacts for the Ruby Prince himself. What you find there may very well end the Pathfinder Society as you know it.

...not the story for the game we played? I mean.. was there some sort of subtext we were supposed to have picked up on? I missed the connection to the Ruby Prince... and that there was a major threat to the Society as a whole.As far as purchases go... Prindlemire will sit on his gold...
Other than the fee for the guide and the 2gp for food.
His Profession (undertaker) roll was a 28.

[Skellan]

Thats a puzzle in itself. The information about the location of the lost tomb originally came to the society from the ruby prince. The vc sent you to get the treasure by proxy.
There is no threat to the society as a whole in this scenario directly. I just double checked. (Including tge faction missions) It could be a reference to a later scenario that might use something unearthed in the tomb as a hook..

[Blackfoot]

I was hoping for a sit down with the Ruby Prince.. or at least one of his agents. That would have been cool.

[Skellan]

Closest you get is that some of his servants show up at the end and make off with the treasure you shed blood and sweat over :o

[Blackfoot]

Well.. I was pretty sure for a few minutes there that Prindlemire wasn't going to make it to level 6.. but he managed to survive.. now he just needs one more mission.

[Skellan]

Here are the chronicles for far

I am still waiting on a couple of pre chronicles

Thanks for playing everyone :)

[Sam Guerra]

I would seem i have given you an outdated pre-chronicle here is the correct one, this before session

[Sam Guerra]

Dragonhide Plate armor, is this consider medium or heavy armor cannot find specifics.

[HoloGnome]

The only medium armor is breastplate. Dragonhide Plate is 50 lbs. and a suit of full platemail...so heavy.

[Skellan]

I suspect this was my fault Sam hehe. I have updated Karrack
