“An older halfling woman in bright clothes quickly approaches, a large golden wolfhound at her side. She places herself before the heroes with a glint in her eye and grins.
“I don’t suppose you’re looking for any work, by chance?!” she asks. “If you are, I have just the task. Doesn’t pay much, but you’ll get full bellies and a place to stay, along with the joy of helping an old woman on Winter Week!”
She holds up a small cobble stone with great reverence and a slightly crooked facial expression.
“My name is Kupyn Baro,” says the halfling. “Me and my pup Darb need your help to make this rock into a stew that will feed our village.”
Everyone loves Winter Week! But a witch in a quiet town isn’t finding the preparations for the big holiday feast as joyful as usual, and she’s overwhelmed by all the work left to do. As the PCs respond to her request for helpers, can they ensure the festivities go off without a hitch?
Written by Patrick Hurley, Pathfinder Bounty #5: Witch's Winter Holiday is a Pathfinder Bounty designed for Level 1. It is designed to use the Pathfinder Flip-Mat Classics: Hamlet, which is available separately at paizo.com. The map is also shown in the adventure itself. It provides 3-6 players 1-1.5 hours of play time. The repeatable content is sanctioned for use in the Pathfinder Society (second edition) Organized Play program.
Pathfinder Bounties are a line of PDF adventure products, new for 2020, designed to last about an hour of play and act as an easy introduction to Pathfinder Second Edition. They can be used as standalone events or strung together in any order as a series. While they take place in specific areas of Golarion in the Lost Omens setting, they can be used in any fantasy world.
Bounties are also perfect for Game Masters who want to use their skills to increase the encounter difficulty using the Core Rulebook, Gamemastery Guide, and other rulebooks. Then they can be used as a transition or sidequest for more experienced groups.
How have you been using these new Bounties? We’d love to hear your stories!
