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.

Very Interesting

4/5 —

Just played this at the 1-2 tier and really enjoyed it. To keep it short and spoiler free: this is a great scenario that gets every player to work together as a team. I played with a group that consisted of a Very Awesome GM, 3 newbies & 3 veteran players. New players to PFS are known to be somewhat shy and some barely make a peep during a scenario but, during this one, the new guys were very into it and offered some very good (non-metagaming) suggestions to overcome various obstacles using what few resources a group of level 1 to 3 characters have. Combats were great, too! A solid adventure and I hope to see more like this.

A Good Time Had by All!

5/5 —

As much as I generally don't care for escort missions, this adventure was actually a lot of fun and very interesting to play. There was one particular section (the ravine) that ate up quite a bit of our time, and led to some rushing at the end of the scenario, but all in all it was quite amusing. The best part was watching the sleeping Kalkamedes repeatedly resist/escape grappling checks made by the multiple fighter-types and a medium-sized lion in our group.
If played correctly by the GM, this scenario can be the most fun you've had at PFS for a while. I can see it being a bit too frstrating if played or run incorrectly, or pehaps with just the wrong party composition, but luckily we didn't have any problems.
I would recommend this scenario highly, as for the right group it can be just a ton of fun.

Thoroughly enjoyable!

5/5 —

I GM:ed this for a group of experienced players and everybody enjoyed it a lot! Myself being a newbie, speaks for this scenarios quality. I highly recommend it.

WoW Escorts Stink, PFS ROCK

5/5 —

I read the blurb for this when I signed up to play it and was quite terrified. I hated escorts in WoW and really, any other game I have ever played that had them.

Color me surprised.

Our GM was awesome in dealing with our CRACKBRAINED ideas. Playing the lower tier, we managed to avoid an encounter or two and trivialize a good bit of it.

[spoiler=GMs]If you are running this, getting your players to give your their strength and a few skill rolls in advance might not hurt (Knowledge planes, local, arcana and such for the "gnome" at the end as well as the door) [spoiler]

Loved it and I would like to see more scenarios that feel like they have a good balance of problem solving and fighting and RPing.

amusing and interesting

5/5 —

I like this because it's not the same old same old. It's different, it's interesting, it allows for the party to screw up in a variety of ways, and there's some really amusing moments. I dig it.

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

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.

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?
Grand Lodge

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.
