Last night was my third Pathfinder Society Game. Ithuriel, ran PFS #17 – Perils of The Pirate Pact.
It was another fun session. A little longer than the first one, but not nearly as long as the second. The length was important, as this was another “red-eye” adventure, starting as Midnight Eastern Time.
We had six PCs again. There were supposed to be seven, but two were no shows and we had a last minute addition. From my limited experience, six seems to be the perfect table size.
The plot behind the story was pretty blatant, even though the DM toned down some of the hints. The combat was the easiest of the three adventures so far. Only one PC went into negative hit points. The plot was a little more complicated than PFS #7 – Among The Living, but not nearly as much as #10 – Blood At Dralkard Manor. This was more linear – go to one area, have a combat, go to the next area area, have another.
My character’s faction quest actually seemed a little meaningful, in that it really did promote the goals of my faction, albeit in a very minor way. It was interesting that there were two other Osirion faction members present, so we were all doing the same quest. That made it really easy, because if any one of us succeeded, we all did. This morning I bought the module, as usual, and four of the five faction quests seemed like they would be useful to the faction. Only one (Taldor) seemed like it was really a stretch.
We also used Skype again. I think I prefer the games with a voice chat to those without.
The most important thing is that this was my character’s third adventure, so he leveled ;-). Korvan Winterlight is now Level 2.
