Pathfinder Module J5: Beyond the Vault of Souls (OGL) Print Edition
Paizo Publishing, LLC
A journey-based adventure for 9th-level characters
Magical soul gems have been stolen from the secret vault of the goddess of death and scattered across the planes. Some want these gems to unlock the secrets of the multiverse. Others want them for personal power. Still others want them to resurrect a fallen deity. As the god of oblivion looms near, can the PCs retrieve the gems from their new owners in time to save their world?
Beyond the Vault of Souls is a planar adventure for 9th-level characters, compatible with the 3.5 edition of the world's oldest roleplaying game. Within you'll visit the Eternal City of Axis, brave the dangers of the Abyss, and match wits with the torturer daemons of Abaddon.
This adventure is set in the Outer Sphere of the Pathfinder Chronicles campaign setting, but can easily be placed in the strange planes and dimensions of any game world. It can be used on its own or enhanced with information from Pathfinder Chronicles: The Great Beyond—A Guide to the Multiverse.
Written by Colin McComb.
Pathfinder Modules are 32-page, high-quality, full-color, OGL-compatible adventures for use with the 3.5 Edition of the world's most popular fantasy RPG. All Pathfinder Modules include four pre-made characters so players can jump right into the action, and full-color maps to enhance play.

Amazing adventure. 32-pages of 3-4 session gaming. Planescape author with just as much psycodellic planar stuff as you remember from the good old days. A little effort on the DM side to make it run smoothly. Oh, for sake, just grab it.
Paizo! We want more planar stuff!!! Keep em coming!
Written by one of the authors of the Planescape setting line, this module is the first planar adventure in the Paizo lineup.
"Beyond the Vault of Souls" features everything that made Planescape unique and vibrant, with dimensional travel, dead gods, daemons, demons, philosophy and strange answers to weird questions.
It's not a dungeon crawl and it's not an urban intrigue. There's a strong feel of other-worldiness and mystery. The are no philosophy clubs here, only philosophers with clubs. No Modrons sadly, curse you Sorcerers at the Bay !
All in all, if you are a Planescape fan and/or you are looking for an unique adventure, this one is a keeper. Not up everyone's alley, but certainly up mine. Excuse me, there is a keketar protean in my garden and he sings his song of ten thousands poisons. Ohhh yes, Planescape is back.
SERIOUS NOTE (really): This module pretty much expects the DM to have access to Paizo's The Great Beyond and Necromancer Games' Tome of Horrors Revised. Which is okay, as both books are all kinds of awesome.
I've written up a review on my Examiner page, so rather than repeat myself, go ahead and read it here.

From the vault of the gods in the planar nexus of Axis, to the fields of Elysium where righteous heroes battle endlessly even in death, and on past the gates of Hell itself, the PCs must race through portal after portal to recover the lost souls before sinister outsiders can beat them to the prize.
You know, maybe it's just me but that description seems awfully ambitious for 32 pages. I'm not doubting it's possible, but you describe three planes there as well as where the players start, that's gotta be a lot of maps. and encounters.
Either way, I'm really looking forward to this. some of my players fondest memories are when I bounced them around Planes and Demiplanes.

This module looks like its got a huge amount of potential and is one of the ones I'm really looking forward to. The J series has been pretty solid so far. Quick question for anyone in the know are the planes mentioned above the only ones the PCs will visit or will there be more as well?

Given that we've seen adventures and product descriptions change pretty drastically between announcement, development and release, I'd say that anything here is subject to alteration down the road. I imagine we'll know more specifics when it's closer to coming out or after it's on the shelves (to avoid spoilers and all).
