A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 1st to 7th level characters (Tiers: 1–2, 3–4, and 6–7).

In the conclusion of the Devil We Know campaign arc, you are called once more to Cassomir, where a mass abduction of the residents of Swift Prison has the entire town in a panic. Venture-Captain Hestia Themis once more partners you with an Aspis agent to see what link the Swift Prison event has to the earlier kidnapping of a Pathfinder agent. You will explore an empty prison, delve the tunnels below, and come face-to-face with the source of Cassomir's troubles in a vile grotto deep beneath the city.

Rules of the Swift is the fourth and final installment of the Devil We Know campaign arc.

Written by Larry Wilhelm

This scenario is designed for play in Pathfinder Society Organized Play, but can easily be adapted for use with any world. This scenario is compliant with the Open Game License (OGL) and is suitable for use with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game.

Enjoyable end but nothing has followed up on this

4/5 —

I enjoyed series overall. The combat was nice and tough in this one. Great trekking through the underground but at the end of it, why has no one written more about what happened with the bell? Seemed like this was going to lead into even more but it just stopped. Disappointed in that fact.

Not quite the conclusion we were looking for

3/5 —

While this adventure finally does bring back in the ideas involved in the series name (the middle two barely paid lip service), it fails to live up to expectations. The intro is a little contrived (not sure why the city guard is doing all the work while letting the Society get all the glory). But it otherwise starts off fairly strong with some tough (and a mid-tier very deadly) encounters, but ends on a very lackluster note with the players feeling like dupes. It also contains an illegal monster

Spoiler:
Undead are immune to morale effects but the Ghast with barbarian levels gains full benefit from Rage.
Overall it is slightly below average but 2 1/2 stars is not a option.

A poor end to the series.

2/5 —

I was hoping for a big finale, but it never came. The maps were nice but the set up for one of the encounters seemed convoluted when I was preparing and the players immediately thought the same. It felt like it was only there to make up the numbers.

It's nice to see returning NPCs linking parts of a series, but you never get the feeling of things building to the ultimate confrontation giving the players the chance to defeat a great enemy mastermind. It felt like the players we almost just there to watch things unfold, and things would still have happened even if they weren't there.

Then there's a final kick in the teeth, in the form of a player handout that the player had just about no chance to prevent.

I also feel the layout could have been better, with information being presented in a more logical order in a couple of places. This isn't a big issue but some people have to run at short notice and a more logical layout could only be a good thing.

This could lead to a final part, tracking down and sorting the loose ends, I hope so as this series deserves a big final confrontation.

3/5 —

The scenario was okay but I honestly found the ending a little bit predictable and dull. Most of the scenarios leading up to this one were good so it's not like it wasn't worth it, but still, the ending could have been better.

ok

3/5 —

Not bad, but a little anticlimactic. It just kind of sputters out at the end.

I like this series.

I am assuming that the tiering on this is the same, not the posted "1-2,3-4, 7-8?"

This is a Tier 1-7 scenario, just like the other three in the series. (And this is the fourth and final.)

This is part IV of the Devil We Know series. Parts I & II are already out and have been since GenCon (#29 & 30: Shipyard Rats & Cassomir's Locker) and part III is set to come out at the in January (#41: Crypt of Fools).

Is this still scheduled for an April 28th release? I hope to have it for Cape Comic-Con the weekend of May 1st... especially since we had to pre-post our scenarios on Warhorn.

Yup!

Just bought and downloaded... however it seems that #45 Delirium's Tangle is in my personalized purchase. The zip file says that it should be #48, but the end pdf is #45.

Edit: Just checked and it happened to #47 that I just bought as well.

How's about links to the previous parts in the description? Thanks! :)

Yay! I'm going to be able to play my Aldori Duelist again! I've been waiting for this scenario to come out as he is lvl 7 now and I wanted to do all the mods on one character.

Ooh, is that the final version of the 6 new iconics I see in the back? If so, very cool indeed!

If you eat this scenario as a GM do you need to have done parts 1-3 to gain credit for one of your characters?

Regarding the

Spoiler:
Bell: It's mentioned in Library of the Lion, though in such a way that only some players will find out about it. From Destiny of the Sands 3 I could infer that the duo currently do not know where it ended up after the conclusion of this series. Watch this space?

There isn't a chronicle sheet for this on the additional resources page.

Here it's not.
