Hi, could you please cancel my pathfinder adventure path subscription.

Thanks

So what is everyone most excited for out of the book? Personally I want to deep dive into magus and play out my dreams of making a Redmage.

Mostly magus right now, but also the geomancer and elementalist stuff sounds interesting. Also hoping the extra spells will help the divine list catch up to the others.

It looks that way. The players go from lawful agents of the govt to terrorists. From that perspective the players will probably also come up with their own acts of sabotage to try to remind the town who they belong to. You probably won't be restricted to just the events in the book. Maybe the players decide to burn down the house/business of an outspoken supporter of the GR. Paint a huge symbol of house Thrune in the town square at night. There might be a lot of impromptu plans that could grant a few despair points depending on what they come up with. My party has a cleric of asmodeus who likes to go out of his way to defile Iomedean shrines(especially after a cleric of iomedae kicked over the shrine to asmodeus he set up in the prison in book 1). I imagine that will happen at least once.

My group just finished Hellfire Compact. It's a really fun book, pretty typical pacing for Paizo's AP starter books. We noticed that power level wise the book went from very easy to very hard, very quickly. My group didn't have too much trouble with the first 2/3 of the book. A couple fights toward the end had some difficulty but were fun. Not much real risk. The very end of the book was brutal though. We had a 6 man party, 2 deaths. Without specific spoilers: A keen weapon doing 2d8+30 on a crit wiped someone first turn. Also having to deal with a swashbuckler parrying and a monster with dr 10/evil for a 3rd level party was rough. They came through it with 2 deaths, not too bad for the end fight of a book really. I don't think we've ever finished the last fights of Paizo APs without a death or two.
