Pathfinder Quest (Series 2) #14: The Swordlord’s Challenge THU June 1st 5.30 PM UTC

Tier 1-4

Please schedule around 2 hours for the game.

About the scenario:

A Pathfinder Society Quest designed for 1st- through 4th-level characters, playable in 2-3 hours.

An Aldori swordlord who fought alongside Pathfinders years ago is looking for a way to push her students harder. She issues a challenge to Marcos Farabellus, the Master of Swords, boasting that her most promising young pupils can defeat any Marcos has trained. She stakes her pride as a teacher and a powerful weapon she used during the Fifth Crusade on the outcome. Marcos both believes such a relic, taken to the very heart of the Worldwound, would be an excellent addition to the Society's vaults and that the PCs are the perfect students on which to stake his own pride. The PCs must do their utmost to justify the faith he has placed in them and win a great victory-- and perhaps a new ally-- for the Pathfinder Society.

PFS2 4-12: Negotiations for the Star Gun SAT June 17th 5.15 PM UTC

Tier 1-4

Please schedule around 4 1/2 hours for the game.

About the scenario:

A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 1st- through 4th-level characters.

Within their vaults the Pathfinder Society has located a rare and mysterious star gun from the distant shores of Arcadia that, while broken, still holds a deep power within it. In order to ensure that past wrongs are made right, the Society must arrange for travel within the borders of Arcadia to repair and return the star gun to its rightful home, but to do so they must first convince the council of Segada to allow a team of Pathfinders entry.

A junior team of agents is dispatched to plead their case to the councilmembers, hopefully securing friends and allies of the Society for future exploration and contact. However, a villain lies in wait, aware of the power the agents are concealing and plotting for the exact moment to strike and catch them off guard.

This adventure is the first part of the two-part Star Gun metaplot arc in the Year of Boundless Wonder. This arc will conclude in Pathfinder Society Scenario #4-13: Within the Prairies.

Tier 9-12. No pregens.

Please schedule around 5 hours for the game.

About the scenario:

A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 9th- through 12th-level characters.

The scrollmaster Effeflinn Whyst is never seen outside the libraries of the Pathfinder Society’s Grand Lodge. She speaks only in ancient songs and rhymes, and some claim that she has memorized every book in the archives. Kreighton Shaine, the enigmatic Master of Scrolls, avoids her at all costs. The two elves clearly share some history, but no one has ever learned their story.

When Effeflinn suddenly rushes through a portal in the Grand Lodge, and Kreighton goes in after her, the Society organizes an expedition into the mysterious and deadly caverns on the other side of the portal. Where have the scrollmasters gone? What secrets have they kept, and why? The Society is going to need its best agents to face the dangers and solve the mysteries in the Cavern of the Sundered Song.

PF Adventure: A Few Flowers More [Play to Learn] THU August 10th 5.30 PM UTC

Four fourth level pregens.

Please schedule around 3 1/2 hours for the game.

About the scenario:

A hero's work is never done! Especially when strange new plants start appearing in the woods—plants whose presence draws all manner of trespassers eager to take advantage of the sudden, mysterious bounty. But where are these plants coming from, and what sinister development in the heart of the forest does their arrival signify? Could it be the beginning of an invasion from another dimension... or something worse?

In A Few Flowers More, you take on the role of one of four unique leshys—mobile plants who have been granted wills of their own. When word of strange supernatural developments in the depths of the forest comes to light, it falls to you and your friends to take care of things!

A Few Flowers More is a short adventure for 4th-level characters that serves as a sequel to A Fistful of Flowers, yet it can be played on its own. This adventure takes a band of leshy heroes into the very depths of a primeval forest and pits them against a supernatural threat that's literally out of this world. The four pregenerated characters also provide a quick way to jump into this exciting Free RPG Day offering right away! Grab your friends, grab some dice, and play the role of the forest's newest heroes!

"Players who play through A Few Flowers More, as well
as GMs who run the adventure, can apply the adventure’s
Chronicle Sheet to any of their Pathfinder Society Organized
Play characters. Players and GMs must decide which
character to apply credit to when they receive the Chronicle
Sheet. The Chronicle Sheet gives 4 Experience Point(s), 4
Reputation with one faction, and 10 Treasure Bundles
appropriate to a character of their level. It also grants 8 days
of Downtime. This adventure is not repeatable, therefore an
individual may earn a Chronicle once as player and once as
GM for the adventure. "
