Additionally, if you want to play a game but the time slot is not good for you, please post and let me know -- the feedback is appreciated.

We have the 2019 Regional Support Boons for both players and GMs for First Edition Pathfinder and Starfinder.

Below is posted the schedule for Pathfinder Society games at Enchanted Grounds in Littleton. For directions to the store, see the 'stickied' post in the Enchanted Grounds section of RockyMountainPFS.com.

Table 2: SFS #01-12: Ashes of Discovery (Tier 1-4)
Repeatable Starship

---

When a major Pact Worlds organization approaches the Starfinder Society about investigating an abandoned outpost in Near Space the PCs get assigned to the case. Travelling to a distant world surmounting dangerous threats in the void of space and meeting new alien cultures-this mission is about everything the Starfinder Society embodies.

Ashes of Discovery is a replayable scenario designed to help introduce players to what it's like to be a member of the Starfinder Society. With randomized mechanical and story elements when you play this scenario you'll never play the same scenario twice.

Table 3: PF2 #01-10: Tarnbreaker's Trail (Tier 1-4)
Repeatable

---

Venture-Captain Bjersig Torrsen has set out the call for a group of Pathfinders to compete in a race known as the Balgirdtrek. Taking place in the Land of the Linnorm Kings, this race is an annual event that includes participants from both the Varki and Ulfen people of the region. Bjersig hopes that by having the PCs participate, they might not only bolster the Society's reputation in the Saga Lands, but also document this exciting event. Although the Society has the organizers' official permission, some of the Ulfen competitors in particular see the Pathfinders' participation as an intrusion on their time-honored pastime. The true challenge of this race is not monsters or villains, but the harsh nature of the grueling marathon itself.

Table 4: PFS #4–26: The Waking Rune (Tier 7-11)

---

After a year of searching and risking life and limb, the agents of the Pathfinder Society have discovered the resting place of the Runelord of Sloth, who has been sequestered from the world at large for 10,000 years awaiting the proper time for his return. Thanks to the efforts of the sinister cult of Lissala, that time is now. In a desperate attempt to defeat this ancient evil once and for all, the Decemvirate sends its best agents, armed with relics found throughout ancient Thassilon, to foil the cult's last-ditch efforts to usher in a new era of tyranny and strife. Will the party succeed in preventing Krune's return to Golarion, or will the Pathfinder Society serve simply as a speed-bump in the runelord's path to domination over the entire region?

This scenario is known for its deadliness. Come VERY prepared!

Awesome, Raphael. Zach does the sign ups here, though. He'll get ya on there.

Ah my bad, thanks Christian.

Zack, if you could please.


Thank you

Please sign Marie and Jimmy up for Table #4.

So team what kind of prep do we need for this scenario that is known for its deadliness...?

JHat

I got the damage output inquisitor, Danielle has debuffs (witch). I think we definitely need things to come back from the dead -- can't TPK if you can come back instantaneously! If you have Occult Adventures and can afford to give up your neck slot and spend 3500gp, a Talisman of Life’s Breath, lesser is a godsend. Other than that, anything that prevents damage or increases damage output (like haste or bane) is going to be useful, I'd think. Summons will definitely help my accuracy, as I get an attack bonus if an enemy is flanked. Also, some emergency Get Out Of Dodge spells would be great, like reach with dimensional slide, planeshift or teleport, maybe.

Any other ideas?

Zach, Danielle, Raphael, Jimmy, & Marie,

For "The Waking Rune",
I need to know what level PCs you'll be bringing. I'm assuming they're the same level as the previous scenario but that could've changed. Also, due to its deadly reputation, I will not be running this in Hard Mode.

As for what's needed for prepping, This thread is very useful - paying close attention to the level 7 & 9 sections. There are many other helpful threads on Paizo about how to survive deadly scenarios & conditions. FWIW, you have learned in a previous scenario that the Runelords of Sloth specialized in conjuration magic. Feel free to take a look at the various conj. spells in the CRB. There are a lot of Save or Suck/Die spells & abilities in this scenario, too. It's the most difficult scenario I've ever had to prep. I hope you all will enjoy it.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Christian!!

If that is the case, I shall be bringing my Wizard 11th lvl, taking no chances on this one. I look forward to this challenge

That could make it harder, actually. If we're all on the cusp of low tier, that could bring us up to high tier. Guess we'll find out when the rest of us post our PCs. Also, did you play any of the other scenarios with this wizard? If not, it might be useful to bring the inquisitor, too, since I think he did most of the scenarios and has the chronicles. They matter, at least to some extent, according to what Christian has said.

My inquisitor only played two I think it was? Or one? I remember the one with the free feat by using the Ioun stone...

Anyhow, I'll bring both just in case.

Zach, Raphael, Danielle, Jimmy & Marie,

The character you will be playing in Waking Rune will receive a special benefit, possibly more, if it has at least one chronicle from any of the Cult of Lissala scenarios. I will post special instructions regarding those chronicles the day before the game. This will give you some time before the game to upgrade your PC so people aren't frantically flipping through their chronicles and doing a lot of math right before the actual game. So, be sure to watch for those instructions to be posted.

Christian D.
