A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for levels 1–5.

A veteran Pathfinder exploring the Fenwall Mountains of Varisia has begun sleepwalking, traveling through the dead of night in the same direction each time. The following mornings, however, he awakens injured and lost in the wilderness, never reaching the mysterious destination that drew him from his bed in the night. Something is calling Kalkamedes, something powerful, but unless he can make it safely to the source of his somnambulism, that power will remain a mystery. It falls to a team of Pathfinders to escort the sleepwalker to his destination and uncover the true nature of the strange phenomenon overtaking Kalkamedes's dreams.

Written by Michael Kortes.

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.

4/5

Just played this adventure yesterday and I may say it's an interesting one, with a balanced mix of mystery, investigation and exploration.


Particularly good for new players

5/5

This scenario has all kinds of nice things in it, but what I particularly like is that it's very newbie-friendly. You don't have to know the rules well to succeed here; the challenges are more to your ingenuity and quick thinking than to having a good build.

Also, I think this is the adventure that "has everything";

Spoiler:
It's got bandits and attacks by animals, some terrain challenges. There's a magic sword. Very old-school really. It's got an actual dungeon, complete with gigantic leering monstrous face you walk through. It's got a dragon. It's got a demon bound in a circle trying to get you to release it. And it's got a "princess" that needs rescuing.

I think this is one of the best adventures to run for new players, because it's funny, it's varied and it's generally happy.

It's also got a cool chronicle sheet that recently got a bit cooler;

spoiler about a different adventure:
In Valley of Veiled Flame there's a boon to get Gamin re-forged.


FANTASTIC

5/5

This may be one of the best PFS modules. Highly recommended. Will challange all types of players.


Fantastic scenario

5/5

There were some different concepts used in the storyline for this scenario that I hadn't seen before, which made for a great way to go through the different challenges and a way out of some of the typical murder hobo antics that many groups get into. Setting, pacing and interesting content gives this one 5 stars.


Lots of fun and opportunities for original solutions

5/5

I played this on low tier PFS.

It is more like 4.9 stars, the way that you resolve the very end is clunky. That is the only minor complaint I had with the plot.

I had a lot of fun running through this scenario and would highly recommend it to others. It rewards creative thinking and quick improvisation. The pacing is good and there is a reason you have to do the job right then.

I can't speak to how difficult the battles were because when I played it we had on person running a bone oracle at the table that was out of tier and dominated every battle. I believe they were all of an appropriate challenge level, but can't be certain.

This is a scenario that I highly recommend others play.

This premise just sounds weird. I can't wait to play it! :-)

Love the sound of this one!


This sounds really cool. And it's written by Kortes, awesome!

I dunno, sounds to me like a bit of a snoozer. [/cymbal crash]

Ever since I played in the Pact Stone Pyramid, I look forward to Michael's adventures. Can't wait to try this one!

Just read through it! Can't wait to run it! This one actually seems more fun to run than to play.

Minor concern is there are a LOT of typos and rough bits. Easily managed, just a little distracting.

Finally, a question on the Chronicle Sheet:

Chronicle Sheet:
For Gift of Ghaele, would I be correct in assuming they gain access to their choice of spell from the sub-tier the player plays "Night March" as? As opposed to them choosing it when playing in either sub-tier at a later time? So one of those lines will be crossed out, yes?

Dark Archive

From a skim read it looks great fun to run, with some great elements. Roleplaying choices matter. I think its going to be a classic.

** spoiler omitted **

Sorry about that. We had a problem with the file getting corrupted and changes getting lost, so it was difficult to determine whether all the changes got in. We didn't want to delay it to do additional copyediting, though.

And I personally appreciate it, since I've been looking forward to this one, haha. There's nothing insurmountable, just distracting. That's all.

Whew! Good to know. :-)

I agree with Sior and ZomB, I think this will be a blast to run. I typically prefer higher tier scenarios, but with this one I do not care. I am looking very forward to running this.

I do wish that there was some form of scenario completion element as there is in "The Dissappeared" and "Fortress of the Nail", for if you know who gets out.

The penalties for letting that happen are on your Chronicle. As for wide-reaching effects of the scenario you mention, I don't think it's that much of an impact on the overall story-line. But good players will incorporate it into their roleplaying.

rewards:
I wonder if in a future chronicle their will be an opportunity to reforge the Gamin, perhaps at the next subtier. I love the flavour of the Gamin and it would fit well in a redemption sort of story.

faction stuff:
I also really appreciate the telegraphing of the end of the shadow lodge in this module, that Sheila is explicitly both concerned for Kalkamedes and the also concerned that she been seen showing concern.

Oh man I cannot wait to run this at Origins...

And I ran it at Origins. Possibly the best 1-5 of the season.


Read through this one today - it looks very good. I like it a lot. One thing, though, is a quibble about a conflict between the art and a description of an NPC.

Spoiler:

text: "Sulianna appears to be a beautiful, elven warrior-woman"
but the picture shows a woman with non-elf eyes (they have whites) and non-elf ears (no points).


Is this a good one for me and my 2 sons to join in on for gencon? They are 10 and 12 and we've got moderate experience.. been playing Pathfinder at home for almost a year, but never with others.

Also, should we bring level 1 characters? level 5 characters? Anyone know what the norm is for when this gets run at gencon?

WebHammer, you can bring any Pathfinder Society Organized Play legal character you have. If you do not have an Organized Play character there will be pre-generated characters for you to use until you have a chance to make one yourself. You can show up with a 1st level character built using the character generation rules found in the Guide to Organized Play (a free download here) and play using that.

This scenario is perfectly suitable for young players, and is a dynamite adventure that should be a good introduction to the world of Golarion and organized play.
