2-2D Summary:
That was quite the fight. The Museum of Ages was invaded by waves of cultists and their allies, laying traps and loosing monsters on the halls. Undoubtedly more of the items in the museum’s collection would have been broken had you not been there.At least, that’s the story you tell Doctor Landis. For his part, he is happy the idol of Sycorius didn’t fall into the cultists’ hands. The Cult of the Crimson Eye is a plague upon Varisia. Any advantage they gain is a problem you will have to solve later.As the morning arrives, you are pleased to breakfast at the Pathfinder Society in the care of Lady Heidmarch’s servants. And then a long day’s nap is in order.

2-2E Initial:
I appreciate your help over the last few days,” Lieutenant Kasadei says. “You’ve helped rescue a wealthy wedding party, brought a moment’s peace to the gangs of Underbridge, stopped shapechangers from impersonating our civic leaders, and defended our Museum of Ages against cultists. I wish I could thank you and send you on your way.“But what keeps me from bidding you a good day is this: Someone is killing the priests of Sarenrae. The Sarenites are among our most beloved citizens, but it’s not currently safe for them to walk the streets. Already, three of our priests have been slain, their hearts ripped from their bodies. And later, their bodies vanished as well! We think they might have been turned into the walking dead.”

You lament the tragedy and ask if there are any leads.“Just one,” Kasadei says, “and it’s not much of one. There are reports of shambling walkers near the sewers in Underbridge, not far from the Sarenite temple. If these reports are true, we might be able to enter the tunnels through the temple. I’m putting my full complement of watchmen on the case. If you find anything of note, just raise the alarm and my soldiers will hurry by your side with swords raised.”That does make the situation a bit better. And you’re feeling pretty confident that you can bring these killers to justice, until Kasadei finishes her thought.“There’s just one more thing,” she says. “When you were in Sandpoint, did they ever mention the Sandpoint Devil?”

Pregame update:

During This Adventure:

During This Scenario: When you play a blessing, discard a card; if the blessing you play has the Sarenrae trait, discard 1d6 cards. You may banish the top card of the blessings deck to add 1d12 to a check against a bane you encounter.

Victory?

Seems legit.

See the discussion for the acquired cards.

Reward: For the rest of the Adventure Path, 1 character may temporarily replace 1 weapon in her deck with the loot
Impaler of Thorns and 1 character may temporarily replace 1 armor in his deck with the loot Snakeskin Tunic.
At the end of each scenario, return the loot to the game box.

Development:
The demoness Avalexi will take the hearts of Sarenite priests
no more. Between you and Kasadei’s watchmen, you slew the
demoness and chased her captive Sandpoint Devil back to the
skies. The Sarenites can practice their worship in peace once again.
“I thank you for your many services,” Kasadei says. “I know the
watch doesn’t pay enough, but I can say we’ve got some pull. And
because of your fine work, I was able to get my boss’s boss to secure
passage on a merchant ship across the waters. The boat will take
you the route of the long-gone Irespan to Hollow Mountain. That
is, if you still want to go.”
It’s tempting to stay in such an interesting city, but it is time for
you to leave. Hollow Mountain calls to you, and you must answer.

Adventure Reward:
Each character chooses a blessing that has an adventure deck number of 2 or lower from the box.
Pathfinder Adventure Card Guild characters may use it as a bonus deck upgrade.

2-3 Into the Mountain

This is so exciting! At last you’re heading toward the
legendary Hollow Mountain. You still don’t know for
sure that there’s something related to the Runelords
happening there, but by the gods, as you draw closer, it just feels
like there must be.
Long ago, when the Thassilonian Empire was new, a bridge
called the Irespan, hundreds of feet wide and many miles long,
stretched from Magnimar in the south all the way north across
the Varisian Gulf to Rivenrake Island. When the empire fell, the
Irespan crumbled, and in modern times, those hardy few who
want to visit the island are forced to travel by boat.
So you found a boat. The Benevolent Mistress was leaving
Magnimar’s port district, certainly in no way intending to dock in
Riddleport. Captain Harshglen was more than willing to take your
hard-earned coin in exchange for passage to the island. “Another
band of adventurers who want to dare Hollow Mountain, eh?” she
mutters, fidgeting with the hook where her hand should be. “Many
have tried, you know. Not many came back.”
The Varisian Gulf is beautiful on a late spring afternoon. The
sun is shining, the waves are slapping gently against the hull,
and life seems full of possibility. As you approach the shores of
Rivenrake Island, a cold wind blows across your back. Looming
above you, after what seems like years of travel and adventure, is
the Mountain.
Captain Harshglen puts you unceremoniously ashore in the
ship’s boat. “Good luck, heroes. We’ll be back this way in a week or
so, as we agreed. Remember to light a bonfire so we know you’re
alive and want passage home. We’ll wait for two nights—after that,
you’re on your own.” With that, and a skeptical parting glance, she
directs her sailors to row back to the Benevolent Mistress.
Before you lies a rocky slope, sparsely studded with trees. In the
distance, before the mountain rises, you see the shrouded outlines
of ruined buildings. You’ve heard there used to be a city here—
Xin-Bakrakhan? Might be worth exploring.

2-3A: Scouring Strifehold

It’s time to conquer Hollow Mountain.
In the ruins of Xin-Bakrakhan, the city that once spread along
the mountain’s lower slopes, you stumble into what was once an
evenly cobblestoned avenue. Stumpy fragments of walls remain, and
the tallest among you can see the outlines of former buildings in the
walls’ arrangement. The avenue’s remnants run off for hundreds of
feet in either direction.
You head left down the avenue for a time, and eventually find
something more than rubble and overgrowth. The dim outline
eventually resolves into an actual structure two stories high. The
better part of two wooden doors hangs drunkenly open, casting a
lonely shadow across the cracked cobblestones. The stone arch above
the doors bears an inscription that hasn’t entirely faded—this place
was once known as Strifehold.
After a quick check of your group’s morale to confirm that your
adventuring spirit will not be denied, you wrench one of the doors
free of its last hinge. It falls with a crash, and you step inside.
Well, that’s a nice surprise. The interior of this building is in
considerably better repair than its crumbling exterior would indicate.
It looks like several areas are connected to this main room through
arched passageways, one closed by a familiar-looking symbol lock.
You’d guess this was once a weapons or armor shop in its heyday.
“Strifehold” has a certain violent ring to it, and there are some piles
of splintered wood near the walls that might once have been weapon
racks. In fact, there appears to be an intact rack near the back of this
room. You move closer to see if anything’s left to loot.
The hissing sound that emanates from the archway near you seems
to imply that something else might have beaten you to it.
