Really.Talyseon —This is three maps; Port Peril, the Shackles and the Shackles "cool" map with compass rose, monsters, and other details. It's foolish, but to see the pirate map, and plot our path made this game much richer. It's not the value of say Kingmaker's map, but it's worth it none the less.

Still, one quibble; it didn't seem to fit the rest of the other five. It felt a bit like making an Owlbear with taxidermy...outside of that, it was brilliant.

No moral judgement, just, you don't have as big an army as you could have.

Non-Mint Unavailable I Am The Hurricane King! From Hell's Heart.Talyseon —This is the shattering conclusion to what I have found to be the best adventure path thus far. I have a thing for pirates (Rum, buggery, and the lash!) but the game itself is beautifully written and a cunningly balanced mix of action and intrigue. Never had this much fun in a campaign before.

Of course, Harrigan intends to settle the Scallywags into a watery grave as well. This adventure has to be one of the most deeply satisfying I have ever played. It is well constructed, but more importantly, tells a great tale.

It combines both daring-so, in the form of the Regata and the test for the title Free Captains. There is also a mystery portion which will either delight of frustrate your players. It's a hard balance to hit; we found it too easy. I have seen others miss the most obvious clues...mysteries are hard to balance. Still, this is a great continuation of my favorite Adventure Path thus far.

Now, the six adventure paths are bound together in one volume. I love this, however, I do have two bones to pick; one, some of the articles from the original were extremely helpful, and they are not here. Second, some of the monsters are not detailed, meaning you will require Bestiary 2 and 3. Outside of that...brilliant.

About Orthrik TornclawHalf-orc skirmisher shapeshifter 1
DEFENSE
OFFENSE
STATISTICS
BACKGROUND
At any given chance, Orthrik partook in the Hunt - traveling amongst the mountains in his clan's territory, he would stalk and murder humans - usually traders - foolish enough to cross. Each kill was a matter of reputation for him, something he took great pride in. Unfortunately for him, this infamy proved to be his undoing. Increasingly wary of the Tornclaw influence, the humans of nearby settlements banded together and worked to purge the mountains of the clan. Most of the orcs fought to the death, having no understanding of the concept of mercy or surrender. Orthrik however, perhaps as a result of his human blood, knew better. Turning himself over, Orthrik was declawed and was touted as a symbol of human victory, before being handed over to a more... shady establishment. Humiliated but alive, Orthrik waits patiently, confident that the Hunt will continue. |
