A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 7th to 11th level characters (Tiers: 7-8 and 10-11).
Rumored to be the most desecrated site in the Mwangi Expanse, the natives have long feared its malevolent presence. Rumors of suicide, infanticide, murder, and chaos have always been mentioned in the same breath with these mysterious rock formations. The Society sends you there after the location is discovered by a demonologist working for the Aspis Consortium. The Society fears the Aspis have discovered the source of the Drowning Stones' power and its up to you to insure that they don't get their hands on it.
Written by Tim Hitchcock

Once again Osprey sends the Pathfinders to an exotic locale to test their limitations. Although traversing the Mwangi Expanse is not as grueling as scaling The Dragon, Hitchcock has a way of reminding the players they aren’t just taking a walk in the woods. The plot is relatively straightforward as has come to be expected, however there are some delightful twists. This scenario ranks high on campaign world flavor. I wasn’t impressed with the faction missions but I learned that two factions had some challenges that were more than just skill checks. The combats were a mix of ‘Wake me up when it’s over’ and ‘Has anyone seen my spleen?’. I think it’s intentional to lull players into a false sense of confidence before dropping the hammer on them. I haven’t felt as challenged since The Hydra’s Fang Incident, however we did play up… There are some fine role-playing situations and a lot of problem-solving for the tacticians in the game.
Beware that this scenario can take a long time to complete. With the optional encounter, we took six hours to finish. The final encounter was lengthy. You players will have to learn why when you play it... At 28 pages, this is the 2nd highest page-count scenario to-date. Part of the length is due to a full-page map included for 3 of the encounters. Beware when printing, you may want to adjust your settings or exclude the full color pages before having all your toner consumed.
