Plot Summary Intro These are the eyes of the First Vigil The eyes that witness a shadow choking the city The eyes that put on a mask to face the shadows And became a radiant symbol among the darkness But this Vigil’s sight was taken away in one last confrontation These are the eyes of the Second Vigil The eyes that witness the darkness growing stronger The same eyes that saw light being able to defeat the dark But whose sight was blinded by the same darkness they fought so hard against Whose Vigil's final sight was comrades fighting each other These are the eyes of the Vigil yet to witness The eyes that know suffering and fear The eyes that have not been led astray by lies The eyes that know the darkness is merely resting before striking These are the eyes to take up the Third Vigil Havenport is a sprawling metropolis whose population is up in the millions. This city started off as a small fishing community near the Eden ocean until investors saw promise in this settlement's future. What was once a small fishing town, became a maritime powerhouse that caught the crown's attention. Soon the original fishing clans became wealthy and powerful aristocrats that had ruled the town fairly under an oligarchy with the crown's favor. However this friendship didn't last long as the new queen that came into power declared Havenport an entity of the crown and thus the oligarchy had to be split up in favor of a mayor. Of course revolution broke out but the fishing town was no match against the crown’s might. Havenport became part of the crown's empire and though the crown allowed the town some autonomy (one such privilege being able to vote on their mayors) the crown’s word is still law. With the new mayor in power, there are some rumors of a new revolution. This having found it's way to the Queen's ear, the Empire’s Inquisition has sent an agent to Havenport to help in the investigations of such heresy. But this city has a dark underbelly that only the low folk know of. After the separation of the oligarchy and following it's defeat, only two clans remained of the five previous ones. They were the Evergleam and the Azure clans. These two clans were rivals even during the rule of the oligarchy. Both of them tried to undermine the others however the other families were able to break up their petty spats. Being under the crown’s rule, the two clans retreated to the shadows and turned themselves into powerful crime families. Their hatred for one another turned streets red with blood and the local law enforcement were no match against them even with the aid from the crown. The section of the town called Sanctuary for being a place where the poor and downtrodden could find peace from the oppression of the crown and the city’s aristocracy, was turned into a base of operations where wannabe gangs formed to take what they want and not care about who they affect. Where you either sworn allegiance to Evergleam clan or the Azure clan. That or you strike out on your own hoping your spark isn't snuff out too early. This crimewave found itself into Eden Harbor where most of the fishermen lived. Although the Queen had control of the city, the city belonged to organize crime and madmen who wanted nothing more than to get their jollies off. This was a time when heroes were needed. Where the innocents who couldn't protect themselves found an early grave. Where a child’s cry from a parent murder in front of them was heard on deaf ears. A time when retirement meant paying off your dues to a local gang lord. The only lucrative business was the drug traffic running throughout Havenport. A dark time where light needed to be shined through. Former adventurers who retired from the adventuring life found themselves faced with a dilemma that was worst than fighting a dragon. They were facing the dark side of the soul and mind. They once again took up arms but not for glory or riches but to keep their home safe from this evil monster’s intimidating gaze. As brothers and sisters they swore to each other the first words of what was to become the First Vigil. “In darkness and in light, the eyes of this Vigil shall strike fear in the hearts of evil and bring solace in the minds of the innocent. So be the Vigil.” Knowing by doing so they would die, they carved this oath as an epitaph upon a weathered stone in a hidden part of the city where trees with lively green leaves glisten in the moonlight that touches down. With words spoken and carved they set out on their promise and for a time Havenport became a better place but the Evergleam and the Azure clans seeing these heroes masquerading with outrageous disguises and silly sounding names destroying their empire decided to put aside their rivalry and team up with each other against this menace that threaten their livelihoods. The First Vigil were able to fight the two families separated but their combined might proved too much for the forces of good thus the watch of the First Vigil came to an abrupt end and with them the hope of a better life for the city. However in the deepest despair, hope can still blossom. After several years the crime families of the Evergleam and the Azure grew more powerful but a new player walked onto the stage. The Alabaster family was able to rise to prominence during the other two families struggle with the First Vigil. The Alabaster family was an aristocratic family who had always dreamed of ruling the city but their blood was weak compared to the other aristocrats that lived in Havenport and the people’s view of them wasn't strong enough to elect one of their own into office. So Henry Alabaster III used the fighting of the Vigil and the crime families to his advantage. He started making allies with some of the aristocracy who had ties to the Evergleam and Azure manipulating and persuading them that their ties to these families could ruin their good standing with the Crown. He spread rumors throughout the rich of Havenport that the crime families were in league with revolutionaries and the Vigil were also revolutionaries but didn't see eye to eye with the Azure and the Evergleam. It wasn't too hard for Alabaster to sow the seeds of doubt since it was a known fact that the Azure and the Evergleam killed the Crown’s men out in the streets and were also known to bribe the local law enforcement personnel that weren't on the aristocracy payroll. By the defeat of the First Vigil came to past, Alabaster had already put their Azure and Evergleam allies in his pocket. Having no allies in the upper class of Havenport, the two families became desperate in trying to hold onto what power they had. The lower gangs that had paid allegiance to those families found better company with the Alabasters. Soon Henry’s behind the curtain tactics had paid off putting his family in a better position for power. With one last seed of doubt sowed between the two crime families, both the Azure and the Evergleam declared all out war on each other and those who opposed them. During this chaos the Second Vigil was born from wannabe heroes and those who remembered the heroic deeds of the First Vigil. As brothers and sisters they sworn to each other the second oath of the Vigil. “We carry the burden of hope from those who came before us. Their sacrifice only strengthening our bonds. Side by side we will fight as one against the growing tide of chaos and darkness. So be the Vigil.” Their unity served as a strong presence of hope for those wanted no more than for this chaos to end. Brother and sister of the Vigil fought alongside each other even against impossible odds but always found a way to victory. Their greatest victory came when the crime families of the Azure and the Evergleam no longer had the strength nor the resources to continue the fighting thanks to the Second Vigil working with local law enforcement to cripple their life lines. Having been backed into the corner, the heads of the Azure and Evergleam gave themselves up hoping their heirs that were hiding in secrecy could build their power once more. During this turmoil the Alabaster had campaigned for office with the stance that the current mayor wasn't powerful enough to stop this madness in the first place and that the people needed a stronger leader. And in one fell swoop, was able to win the office. As his first order of business, decorating the Second Vigil as components for the chaos and not the solution. The Second Vigil needed to answer for their part in the chaos by either giving up their identities and working for the city or be persecuted and put on trial for their part. This was the fall of the Second Vigil. Half of these heroes gave themselves up to the city believing that by doing so they could prolonged the peace they were able to achieve while the other half were wise to the new mayor's act and refuse to be a part of his ruse. The Second Oath that was spoken by both brothers and sisters was broken as former allies fought against each other until one victor was apparent. Those who sided with the mayor had won but at the lost of the very people they stood side by side with. After the victory, the mayor had outlawed the practices of the Vigil welcoming the former members as part of the local law enforcement. However as time went on, the former members of the Second Vigil died of mysterious diseases or found an assassin with a dagger to their throats in their own homes. The Second Vigil was no more and Henry Alabaster III was able to turned the public opinion of him into him being the savior of Havenport. And on his death he was remembered as a true hero and not the monster he truly was. After four generations of Alabaster being in office, the new mayor Terra Alabaster has the same vileness her great grandfather had. Having strengthening bonds with the new Queen, the young Esmeralda and using her predecessors ties to the gangs in Sanctuary, she was able to extend the hand of the Alabaster to where the heirs of the Azure and Evergleam struggle against. Organized crime is theirs even with the mad men and wannabe gangs sprouting up. Spies from every facet of life work as her eyes and ears in the city. There is nowhere that the eyes of the Alabaster hasn't seen. But their eyes have not seen the hidden epitaph of which the Vigil have written their oaths upon. Where the souls of past heroes wait for yet another Vigil to take root. Greetings from the GM Hello there and thank you for taking a moment to look at this! I have notice there aren't many pathfinder campaigns that are "vigilante" friendly that or I haven't looked hard enough. Well this campaign aims to remedy that with a narrative familiar to a to watching your favorite super heroes on the big or small screen or on the pages of your favorite comic book. But before I get a head of myself, I am Kazegami your GM for this rather intriguing tale. I have about 2 to 3 years of pathfinder under my belt and quite frankly it is my favorite system by far. And lately I have been wanting to see how the vigilante plays out. And being a fan of superheroes thought to make a campaign around such. Your characters will be the heroes to combat evil that corrupts your beloved city. But we all know that life isn't black and white all the time. So if this interests you than I hope you decide to make a character and join the cast. Game FAQ Alright here are some basic questions about the game but feel free to asks some questions yourself. And for easy reference I will put them here.   How this campaign is set up is something like a television series. What I mean by that is each session will be broken up into 12 episodes that compile the entire season which in this case will be the campaign. By doing this I hope not railroad character towards a certain task but instead have general idea what the theme or goal of the session is and just adapt to the players input into the world. And if one or all players make it to the goal, move onto the next episode. Plus I wish to use the episode format to give players a break in between games and let their creative juices get a rest for a few. The whole season may lead up to a new villain emerging or something else entirely. Not sure if I explain clearly but how about this? The season leads up to a twist to the overall plot while the episodes may have general direction but overall lead up to the twist. Of course the first episode or two will be you guys joining forces with the later episodes fighting crime together. For the moment, I only plan for Season 1.   The answer to that question is no. Even though this campaign leans heavily towards the Vigilante class, you don't have to be. You could be any Paizo publish class. That even includes the Occult. When it comes to Third Party Publishers. I will only accept from the Weekly Wonders products: Comicbook Archetypes I and II, Vigilante Talents, and Ongoing Investigations: Character Options for Investigators from Necromancers of the Northwest. I also will accept Legendary Vigilantes from Legendary Games. I have a large library of Third Party Publisher content and if there is something Third party you have been dying to play we can talk but I will need to be persuaded.   Sanctuary:This is pretty much the poor sector of the metropolis. This where most of the homeless population live and where up and becoming gangs get their starts. Dotting the landscape are poorly made housing and in the distance intimidating factories belching black smoke into the air. It is also nicknamed "Hazy Fields" due to the black smoke that tends to cover the shanty town from time to time. Eden Harbor:As the name suggests, this is where the harbor for Havenport rests. The fishing trade is the main revenue for the metropolis and many fishermen have built homes near the harbor instead of going more inland. For a fisherman, you either die on the sea or you die on the expansive harbor. A few gangs have power here but the fishermen who call it home have the majority of the power. Queen's Landing: This is where the elite and the aristocracy live. If there is a part of the city that hasn't been tainted by the new manufacturing boom. This would be it. The untouched beauty of the land rivals the glistening forests tended by elves. Mansions are far and wide with saloons and gentlemen clubs in between. Central Sprawl: In the center of the metropolis is the shopping district that many people far and wide come to visit. Stores catering to different merchandise run the length of the sprawl with apartment buildings in the background where the middle class inhabit. This is also where the police department are located as well as the mayors office and government buildings. Academy District: This is where all the main centers of learning are. The magic colleges exist here as well as the law enforcement academy. You also have your alchemist and tinker guilds. This district serves as the main center of knowledge ranging from the scientific to the more bizarre. Promising students can live in dorms until they graduate or find an internship with a guild.   I will use Paizo deities mainly. As for the major religion, ever since the Queen's Empires seizure of Havenport, the widespread religion is that of Abadar. Besides him you can find pockets that still worship Erastil and in the Academy District it varies. You can also find brothels in Sanctuary or hiding among Queen's Landing that dedicate to the goddess Calistra. But since this is a metropolis, there could be many religions especially due to immigrants moving to the city.   The major factions are the small gangs that are trying to make their mark on the crime scene, the Alabaster family, Havenport police department, and the Queen's Inquisition. And of course the Third Vigil themselves.   At the moment, I am accepting four vigilantes. I also have spots for two special roles. Those roles are for an Inspector from the Havenport Police department (Investigator class mainly) and an Inquisitor from the Queen's Inquisition. The Inquisitor and the Investigator will be working together. The Inspector trying to do his job trying to keep up the law and solving cases while the Inquisitor is mainly there to sniff out any heresy or revolutionaries conspiring against the crown. And of course their attention eventually gets turns towards the Third Vigil. My friend plans on being the Investigator however I will still accept a backup Inspector in case he can't make it or his character ends up dying. I mean the Inquisitor is there acting on the Queen's best interest after all. . .   At the moment I do not have a set deadline but expect sometime mid November if not later. Really depends on how many applicants I can get.   So for the time being these the Third party classes I will allow: Some of these classes you maybe able to find on D20pfsrd.com While the others you might have to buy on RPGdrivethru.com Super Spy: Investigator/Vigilante hybrid class from Wayward Rogues Publishing Technician: You can find this base class in the Age of Electortech by Radiance House. Legendary Vigilante: This class is in the Legendary Vigilantes product by Legendary Games. Dark Angel: This is a good aligned Anti-Paladin who uses the darkness to combat evil. You can find this in the Tome of Wicked Things Redux by Little Red Goblin Games. Time Thief/Time Warden: These two classes utilize time based powers and can found in their respective products- Geniu Guide to Time Thief /Genius Guide to Time Warden by Rogue Genius Games. Legendary Kineticist: You can use material from this product by Legendary Games. Primal Host: So you want to play as a symbiote like Marvel's Venom? This class from Little Red Goblin Games allows you to be the host to something with alien intelligence vying for control. Weekly Wonders: Comic Book Archetypes 1 and 2: These products from Necromancers of the Northwest are filled with archetypes that present new vigilante specializations like one archetype gives you the archery specialization allowing you to craft special arrows as you level up. Revanchist: This is another product from Wayward Rogues Publishing. The class can also be found in Hybrid Heroes Vol. 2: Horror Heroes. *UPDATED*   I am using the Firearm rules that firearms are everywhere. So that means you treat Firearms as simple weapons. However coming across firearms in Havenport isn't exactly easy. Each person has to go through a special class given at the police academy and if you passed, you are given a Firearm License that contains your basic info along with a serial number assigned to you. When you go to a Gunsmith, they engrave the number into your purchased Firearm. Having a unregistered Firearm is illegal and if found out, you are sent to jail if you can't pay the fine. The number of years is up to the judge but no more than five years. Those who passed the Police Academy are automatically enrolled into the class and upon completion are given a unique serial number that identifies the firearm to be the property of the police. Early Firearms are mainly whats on the market. However, advanced firearms are being introduce but mainly the aristocracy or certain individuals in the Police force are given access to them. *UPDATED*   Those who have taken the Vigilante Role but who are not of the Vigilante class, benefit from the Dual Identity and Seamless Guise class features of the Vigilante class and are able to use the Disguise skill untrained. They also are able to put a skill rank into Disguise however it is not considered a class skill. That means it takes 2 skill ranks to put 1 skill point into Disguise. You also don't benefit from any other Vigilante class features unless you put a level into Vigilante. *UPDATED*   Good question! The main prison complex is called Haven Gate Prison. This massive complex is located on the outskirts of the Academy District. This complex would be similar to what a Supermax prison of today is except there are magical traps and electrotech devices to keep the inmates in line. Also as the study of psychology evolves, the prison also has an additional complex that is separated from the main complex. Even though psychologist like to go to Haven Gate to study the criminal mind, they frequent Saint Sol Asylum. That complex is called Saint Sol Asylum where doctors study mentally ill patients in order to better understand the mind. But like early psychology, there are plenty of horror stories about the treatments of the patients. Of course the scientific community and to the unlearned public these "horror stories" serve as the advancements for understanding the brain. Of course the asylum also serves as a dropping off point for families who don't want to deal with their relatives' condition. *UPDATED*   You heard right. Debtors prisons exist. If you owe a debt to someone and you can't pay they can take you to debtors prison. These are also a part of Haven Gate but its own separate entity. *UPDATED*   Besides Terra, there are two other siblings of the fourth generation of Alabasters. Terra ties to the underworld aren't known by her family nor the public. She keeps up nice pleasant appearances and is seen as a champion of the people like her great grand father Henry III. She can be seen always posing in front of cameras with a poor hobo or some sort of gimmick to make her out to be some saint. She may even throw a charity ball for the asylum. Anything to make her look good. *UPDATED*   I am going to assume that at the start of each episode that your character has prepared their spells and have gathered their components. However if the next episode is an continuation of the previous episode for example "A dirge in the Night part 2" your character would have to find sometime in the episode to replenished their arcane reservoirs. At the beginning of each episode is considered having an "8 hour rest" or "1 hour of meditation" for replenishing spells. Though feel free to role-play it out if you wish to. *UPDATED*   Well I didn't think about it until someone brought it up but heritages for races that have them are allowed. The ones I know off the top of my head are Half Elves, Aasimirs, Tieflings, Half Orcs, and Dhampirs. Skin Walkers also have heritages but I haven't decided if I want the Skin Walker an available class yet. If I do, I would add it to the race section of the application. *UPDATED*   Everyone starts off at 1st level and are rewarded experience for combat and good roleplaying. We will be on the medium track. By the end of Season 1, I am planning everyone to be around level 4 or 5. You also may also have one trait. We will also be using a 20 point buy. Your starting equipment is free and contains: One melee weapon your proficient up to martial. Everyone gets a free dagger One range weapon your proficient in. (Note: Firearms are considered everywhere but are hard to get a hold of due to gun control laws. Mainly law enforcement are given the privilege to carry. Or those who gone through special classes to gain a licences such as an aristocratic person.) Armor may only be light or medium(up to scale mail) And a class kit for your class. Roll for starting wealth to use to pay for other items such as extra weapons or potions. You also gain 1 extra skill point to put into a craft, profession, or perform and it becomes a class skill for you. This is to help represent what you do outside your vigilante identity or a hobby your character partakes in. Archetypes are allowed. Character Application Name:If you are a vigilante put your social identity here. Alias: Your Vigilante name if you have one. If one of the special roles put either Inspector or Inquisitor Age: Mainly the young adult age category for your race. Race:Paizo Core and Featured Class:Any Paizo including the Occult. Third Party is up to discussion. Appearance: You can split this section up as Social Identity and Vigilante Identity if it applies to you. Either a description or an image will suffice. Background: How your character grew up in this city and what led you to becoming a Vigilante. If Inspector, you can say you were able to graduate top of your class in the police academy thus granting you the early promotion to Inspector. If Inquisitor, you can say you were raised among the Inquisition and was honed to be an instrument for the Queen. These are suggestions only by the way. Vice and Virtue: In this section put your Virtue and Vice here. The vices come from the seven cardinal sins while the virtues come from the seven heavenly virtues. These should show in your character during play. It can be settled and or evident. Players of the former New World of Darkness are probably familiar with this concept.

[Fwalin McFundin]

Would an elven investigator fit in this game? I have an idea for a character - possibly multi class but I have not played Pathfinder before so would need to discuss with you

[Vicorin]

Is it ok if I've never played pathfinder before? Well, I played once, but that was a couple years ago and none of us really knew what we were doing. I can learn relatively quickly, I just might need some help in a few things.

Thinking about a gunslinger or rogue, for the record.

[suburbanplankton]

I know that you posted this with Vigilantes in mind, but to me this campaign is calling out for a Paladin, struggling to keep his oath while doing 'whatever is necessary' in pursuit of the greater good.

[darkwulf23]

I'm thinking of creating a bard detective, something inspired by sin city. Or do you want a straight costume vigilante

Edit: On second thought, too many investigator interests. Sorcerer or oracle then. Something with an origin along the lines of x-men

[Kazegami]

@Fwalin and Fire Muffin: I am a newbie friendly GM! I will work with you and help you out. And I am sure others wouldn't mind helping you out either. I can defintely do elven investigator and gunslinger. Just with gunslinger you have to mention how you acquire a gun.

@Plankton: Go for it! Would be interesting to see how a paladin would work.

[Vicorin]

I was thinking one of two things in regards to how my character acquired a gun.

• Nobleman: My character would be a obleman's son who is either acting out, or (If you'll allow it) a son or other member of the alabaster family, who acs as another family member by day, but works against their underground crime operations by night.
• Reformed criminal: My character was once a member of the various crim rings, either alabaster or one of its much smaller rivals. His gun would be illegal, probably stolen from a guard or something.

Those are my two ideas right now. I really like the idea of being a son or brother of the mayor, I think it would create a very interesting dichotomy with his alliances and agendas and what not. He'd be struggling against his family ties in order to do what's right. However, unless my character isn't entrusted with information on the doings of their crime operations, it could potentially give my character some knowledge you wouldn't give out otherwise.

So I understand if you'd rather me not be a member of the alabaster family.

[Kazegami]

@Fire Muffin: I was hoping someone would want to be apart of the Alabaster! Their are currently 3 siblings of the Alabaster. Terra just happenes to be the eldest being 31. Also the Alabaster family themselves happened to be human in case I didn't mention that. But doesn't mean there couldn't be a half elf or a half orc amongst them

Updated Character Creation!

[Artsol]

Kazegami;

Thanks for volunteering this campaign! I've been hesitant to invest in the vigilante, since as you've said they're not made for most campaigns. Will be interesting to get to see the class in action.

As for questions, do you have a method that a non-vigilante class would go about keeping his/her identity a secret? In trying to wrap my head around this mechanically, a class with a poor bluff or diplomacy could quickly become the weak link.

Truth be told, I do fear for Plankton's poor Paladin's fate.

Second, would a Magical Child be an inappropriate vigilante archetype for this setting?

[Kazegami]

Thanks @Artsol! To answer your question, the non vigilantes benefit from the vigilante's dual indenity and seamless disguise class features if they have no levels in vigilante. After some brainstorming I came to the conclusion that this maybe the simpler option. But I am up for suggestions. And you can do a magical child. If you have access to it, you can check out Four Horsemen Present: Young Character Options by Rogue Genius Games for some inspiration regarding the magical child.

[Kazegami]

@darkwulf: You can never have enough X-Men. Lol I will be cool with those classes. Again you guys don't have to be straight vigilante. This game just offers the chance to in case you ever been wanting to play one. If you want to go with x-men, have you checked out the Kineticist class from Occult adventures?

[SonofSamWich]

So, I have an few ideas that are coalescing into a character. One of which is a character who doesn't have a super-hero persona yet. That's something I'd like to role-play my character growing into. I'd like to start the adventure where I've just started my vigilante work, but I don't really have anything down, like another name, a specific outfit, or anything like that. Would that be alright?

[Kazegami]

@Son: That's perfectly alright. Your characters vigilante careers are still blossoming. You might have stop a few gang members or saved a few people but you haven't yet really embraced your vigilante alter ego. In the first two episodes I plan for you guys to really come to in your vigilante career. But if you want your guy to still be stumbling through all this vigilante business, feel free to. Overall in Season 1 you're still learning what it is to be a vigilante and the sacrifices that come with it.
