[Fire Mountain Games] Way of the Wicked Book Three available now.

BECOME THE DARK LORD!

For sale at Paizo right now, the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game's only villainous adventure path continues with Book Three: Tears of the Blessed

The Vale of Valtaerna is perhaps the most sacred site in all of Talingarde. Herein you gather an army of darkness and storm this sanctuary of the blessed. Your mission is simple -- before winter's end, all must die.

And then all throughout the realm will be heard the tears of the blessed.

"Author Gary McBride and artist Michael Clarke have...definitely upped the ante of the quality one can expect from 3pps, rivaling Paizo's APs in style, artwork and writing. I have nothing to complain. Nothing. I'm VERY impressed and, would it be possible, I'd rate this 6 stars." -- Endzeitgeist

"This is an adventure of grandeur" -- Shane O'Connor

We're half way through a twenty level journey along the Way of the Wicked. It's never been a better time to be the bad guy.

Yay! *yoink*

Silly question time, will there be anything in this book covering things like your faithful cohort Grumblejack and/or the evil organization the PCs (probably) put together in the last book? It doesn't have to be something big, just a brief mention would be delightful.

Yes, there is more stuff for your evil organization to do in Book Three. They can help you in the battle and guard your vale as well as aid you during your time in the city of Ghastenhall.

And yes Grumblejack gets several mentions in this book (largely thanks to feedback on these very forums). We discuss what the ogre is up to if he's still with you. However, in the next book, we get a Grumblejack related bonus encounter.

Thanks for the response, Mister McBride; and now I'm looking forward to book four just to read up on the Grumblejack encounter.

Just picked up my copy and I've started to flick through it.

Bravo, Gary. Excellent job again. The task that the Knot have to accomplish is one that can cause some headaches, but the approach you've taken to the encounters and the amount of effort that's gone dealing with potential stumbling blocks should cut down on that drastically.

And watch out about putting in any more awesome NPCs or you're going to have to put together a web enhancement just to detail special encounters for them and potential interactions with one another. ;)

Tobias,

Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you are enjoying Book Three.

Hmmm, a web enhancement adventure were you get to play a cadre of cohorts. MinionQuest! Say, that's an idea.

It could be the supplement of the year! Full of scenes of

Speaking of which, I particularly like Izevel. It'll be interesting to see if the PCs can actually get to talking to her.

I'm really glad that the third book is out, as our group has a rule of thumb about adventure paths. We don't actually start them until at least half of the path has actually been released, to keep down the chances of having to take breaks to wait for the next part to be released. Of course, with the speed that my group makes big plans, I don't think that will be much of a problem. ;)

Regardless, time to start adding to the notes I've been making and start getting everything set. If all goes to plan we'll be ready to start in a month or so.

Hooray! Can't wait to see what you guys have cooked up next. :D

Tobias,

Glad you are enjoying Izevel. I wonder if our moody medusa will garner me anywhere near as many posts and emails as Grumblejack?

And when you start running your game, please post play reports! I love reading about actual play.

OmegaZ,

Thanks for the enthusiasm. More is definitely on the way.

Is book 3 going to be available in print as well?

I really like what you've done so far. This campaign will definitely get run after our current one finishes up.

DocWatson,

Yes, a POD version of "Tears of the Blessed" is definitely on its way. Files have been sent and we imperturbably await its approval.
