GRAVEN GUARDIAN PATHFINDER HOW TO
Trying to get some ideas on how to set this up - probably need some distractions (Bluff checks), smooth-talking (Diplomacy), sneakiness (Stealth), lookouts (Perception/Sense Motive), lock-picking (Disable Device).
Many movies have sequences (Ocean's Eleven and National Treasure immediately come to mind) where the team works together to infiltrate a location and do some covert things under the radar. One place where I think these rules could be used to great effect in Hell's Rebels is exploring the Kintargo Opera House during the Ruby Masquerade. I like the mechanics of the PCs each having separate roles to play in an overarching plot theme. One of my favorite new ideas from Ultimate Intrigue was the Heist rules. He addressed the brimmed hat wearer as Brimmed Hat. Within minutes, Vendalfek made his appearance. They returned to Clenchjaw's the next morning and hung the banner. Instead of the same audience every night, we may be able to offer venues of much much more fun for you. The party discussed overnight and decided to write a message in draconic on a banner. I allowed a Knowledge (arcana) check at the end to determine a faerie dragon was behind the recurrence of the nightly brawls. The party was victorious in the end, though three had been knocked out from excessive non-lethal damage.
GRAVEN GUARDIAN PATHFINDER PC
In took the form of a pub fight, so rather than track failures I had each PC take 1d8 non-lethal damage at the end of their turn and another 1d8 non-lethal if they failed a check. I created the encounter at Clenchjaw's as a social combat challenge in the format given with the social combat cards - a 4 x 4 grid starting in one corner and having to get to the opposite corner. Longer term, I'm contemplating having the father "cook the books" of the fronted business which will lead to an inquisitor of Abadar (a sort tax auditor) confronting the PCs for loan fraud. I am going to run as a verbal duel between the father and son that the son needs to win to convince the father of the investment. Everything worked out great as the group found Nan's corpse, battled Chough, negotiated with the remaining Fushi sisters who had their companion hostage, and recruited the Fushis to the rebellion.ĭuring our next session, I am having the PC go to his father and propose his father invest in the abandoned warehouse and allow the son to run it to "get him into the family business". That PC actually couldn't make the session we did the Wasp's Nest, so I had him missing and his manservant found the letter and delivered to the rest of the group.
Nan was a contact to the PC and sent a letter that he needed help with a "delivery" (the Fushi sisters). My tie-in to get the PCs there was one of the PCs is from a lesser noble family whose family's business includes slavery - the patriarch is a Thrune sympathizer, so the PC son is a black sheep who sides with the rebellion. So I was never real keen on the Wasp's Nest location below the Longroads' Coffeehouse, so instead I put it below an abandoned warehouse in the docks area.
