My group was a witch, wizard, fighter/cleric and a rogue.</p>
<p>It isn't a bad culmination to the arc. The setting is quite nice and the realisation of what is going on behind closed doors of the society was a nice eye-opener for the players (although I imagine we all figured that was the case anyway). </p>
<p>With that in mind though, part 4 is just a continuous dungeon crawl with puzzles and traps. A couple encounters were not very well explained and at least one puzzle probably needed a clearer solution (part of this level just found another way around it anyway). Final encounter was very memorable though and we all had a good time with that one.</p>
<p>A good ending. Thumbs up. I would like to see more end of career type mini-arcs though.</p><p>Finally got around to running this part. My group was a witch, wizard, fighter/cleric and a rogue.</p>

One encounter in particular is challenging to run with any sense of realism, and the way we ran it was to have one PC with the GM at a time, recapping turns. Time consuming, but we got through it. Generally the encounters in this scenario fall flat compared to the earlier scenario, but as I posted in the reviews of previous ones, its hard to compete with the raw flow of gold into PCs.</p>
<p>I had a good time playing it, and the final encounter is memorable, even if it could use a little tuning in terms of difficulty.</p><p><b>Pathfinder Society Scenario #2-22: Eyes of the Ten—Part IV: Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained (PFRPG) PDF</b></p><p>I love the plot of this scenario and certain elements.

<p>The chronicle sheet wasn't much better. It ultimately left me disappointed and upset.

The Decemvirate sure does hole themselves up in a well-guarded and creepy place. In fact, what the crap are they doing with that item with stored...you know what, nevermind. I'm not going to ask.</p>
<p>The first encounter of this scenario was probably my favorite and most memorable of the whole series, next to the first encounter of the first scenario. I can see how it would be an absolute nightmare for a GM, but ours had a very creative way of keeping the PCs from knowing to much information before they needed to.</p>
<p>I must agree that the end encounter could use more fleshing out in back story. In fact, looking at the actual character level, why the crap is the BBEG so concerned with his mission? Not only that, but the damsel in distress is pretty lame when considering her powers and abilities to do everything else she did (for a suggestion on how to shore this up, just hop on over to the discussion section).</p>
<p>The bad guys are pretty memorable, and the entire complex of Skyreach is just as ridiculous as you imagine it to be. Thank you Tim for putting a fitting end to the arc.</p>
<p>PS. I look forward to any special scenarios / modules to play after this, especially with what my PC has gained. He'll be happy to take a break after all that has happened in his experiences (especially the gauntlet that this arc was), but I think he has a few more good adventures in him. :)</p><p><b>Pathfinder Society Scenario #2-22: Eyes of the Ten—Part IV: Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained (PFRPG) PDF</b></p><p>This scenario was the perfect capstone to the retirement arc.

This was a fitting end to the entire four part arc. There were plenty of scary traps, items, and flavor in Sky Reach that made me think as a player “Yep, this is where the Decemvirate must live.” The first encounter seemed like it was very very difficult for the DM to run and is something that he should prepare extensively for. In fact, I’m not positive if it’s even possible for the DM to fully prepare this first encounter properly without having played it or DMed it prior. However properly executed it will be a memorable encounter for the PCs.</p>
<p>The only other complaint I have is that the end encounter didn’t seem quite… epic enough. It wasn’t an extraordinarily easy encounter, but it didn’t seem nearly as difficult or as “deadly” as the first encounter of the entire arc. However the final encounter was a fitting end to the arc, and something that I didn’t see coming as a player. My only gripe would be that we as players don’t learn enough of the BBEGs motivations. I feel as though we stopped the BBEG, but we don’t really know how he got to the point where he is in the story (and this is after taking him alive and interrogating him).</p><p><b>Pathfinder Society Scenario #2-22: Eyes of the Ten—Part IV: Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained (PFRPG) PDF</b></p><p>I just recently played through a marathon weekend of all four parts of the Eyes of the Ten series with our level 12 characters.
