Chapter 12: "Crown of Fangs"
by Tito Leati

The heroes return to Korvosa to find their home city in a stranglehold of martial law and cruelty—and that Queen Ileosa has neared her goal of achieving immortality. With the holy weapon Serithtial in their hands, they must confront old enemies and explore ancient Thassilonian ruins if they hope to save the people of Korvosa from fueling a mad queen's lust for immortality.

This volume of Pathfinder closes out the Curse of the Crimson Throne Adventure Path, and also features a discussion of Varisia's largest dungeon—the untold vaults below Castle Korvosa, full details on the notorious dragon behind the Curse of the Crimson Throne, and many new monsters to vex and plague high-level heroes.

For characters of 14th to 16th level.

Pathfinder is Paizo Publishing's 96-page, perfect-bound, full-color softcover Adventure Path book printed on high-quality paper that releases in a monthly volume. Each volume is brought to you by the same staff which brought you Dragon and Dungeon magazines for over five years. It contains an in-depth Adventure Path scenario, stats for about a half-dozen new monsters, and several support articles meant to give Game Masters additional material to expand their campaign. Because Pathfinder uses the Open Game License, it is 100% compatible with the world's most popular fantasy roleplaying game.

ISBN–13: 978-1-60125-109-1

This adventure has the same chracteristich as all the CotCT AP, GREAT encounters.

Warning!!! Lots of spoilers ahead:

Spoiler:

You finally retur to the home city and have your chance to set things right in may places, yet you don't really get to "recover" your beloved city but pave the way for the NPCs to do so. You deal with the main villains but if the DM doesn't put a great effort to make it look so, the PCs can go from one encounter to the other and finish the adventure and just realize that everything is "ok" now. If the DM puts some effort to roleplay scenes where the city is taken back this "issue" can be easyly overloked. Other than this, personally I would have loved to have the final encounter beign done in the city, since Korvosa was the anchor for most of the adventure, it was rightly so to have it finish it there. There's a perfect reason for this final encounter to be made elsewhere, but with a tiny bit of effort the DM can wave this encounter into the Ziggurat below castle Korvosa and make very little changes.

The encounters, npcs, scenes and detaits on the adventure are -5 stars-, yet the missing links to make this a more "Korvosan" closure adventure take a couple stars... Yet if you are not using CotCT as a AP or you don't care much for Korvosa Roleplaying, then this is a 5 star adventure!

this adventure just missed so much. I expected it to be epic, to have grand fighting scenes set in an even grander background. I wanted resulotion and I wanted to know the fate of some major NPC's, but all Iv'e got was a list describing the fate of the NPC's niether me nor my players care about.
spoilers from now on-
I really wanted to have a part where the rebbles assult castle volsheneck and recepture it. I really wanted to have an action scene that centers around one of Ileoses monsteros monumants. when I read that there are tribes of monsters proteting the Sunken Queen, I wanted to see something like a chase scene, in which the PC's will be forced to flee unending hordes of raging frogmans. Iv'e got non of the above- the PC's sneak into Castle Korvosa, hack n' slash some fiends,fiending where the mad queen is, going there and hack n' slashing the queen. the endind I actually liked, becuse it was surpraising and dramatic. I'm still going to add all the elements I wanted into my game, but I hate doing 90% of the work to run an adventure I bought...

spoilers end

all that being said, the adventure's not bad, merley disappointing. mybe if they wouldn't have used half the space they had for describing *evrey single room* in the castle, the outcome would have been better.

Are you really shipping #12 and #13 at the same time? My order shows both Pending. Not that I would complain but just curious if this is right.
