A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for levels 1-5.

What began as a straightforward mission to escort the displaced Farheaven Clan back to their original homeland in Sarkoris is quickly beset with misfortune. The forest where the Farheavens live is burning, and they need urgent aid. But the Farheavens aren't the only ones in danger, and tensions and blame between the locals have almost risen to open violence. Meanwhile, the inferno's source rages unchecked. Can the Pathfinder Society diffuse this volatile situation and restore peace and safety to the region?

Immensely fun.

5/5

Spoiler:
Seen a lot of talk about this being pro-goblin propaganda. Given how widespread the race is, I don't take issue with any of that.
What I can say is that this was a blast. Diplomatic options to avoid combat encounters, fantastical creatures, cute (and useful) boons, great callback to an earlier scenario... My players were really impressed and had a wonderful time. As a GM, I took note of the attention to detail in certain areas:
Spoiler:
like how the wizard couldn't stay due to his health or how our druid couldn't interrogate the messenger bird to spoil the surprise because it was a token.
Overall, we had a great time with this one.


Another goblin propaganda scenario

2/5

Another scenario who sole purpose seems to be setting up goblins to be good for pathfinder 2. Nice story otherwise.

Please remember to spoiler your posts when talking about adventure content that is not included in the product description.

Spoiler:
Goblins have actually never been broadly categorized as chaotic evil; if you pop open your Bestiary the primary alignment for goblins encountered as threats is neutral evil, the alignment of sublime self-interest. The goblins of Iobaria also have the unique benefit of not having many other species to deal with, beyond the occasional centaur (who they largely hide from) or druid.

So, these sublimely self-interested goblins find themselves suddenly without a home as it is destroyed by fell magic and pursued by monstrous (to them, because horses are terrifying at almost a genetic level for goblins) enemies, flee until they come into contact with a frontier town whose population includes Sarkorian survivors who were chased from their homeland by demons after it was destroyed by fell magic. The goblins, not being idiots (goblins are just as smart as humans) know that they cannot defeat the humans and their giant bear god, nor can they continue to outrun the centaurs. Thus they do the only thing they can do: help the force that's not currently trying to kill them.

The humans, being refugees who have faced hardship, ostracization, and displacement themselves, choose to accept the goblins' aid in protecting their homes, because unlike the massive forest fire the goblins aren't actively destroying their homes, property, and livelihood.

I'm surprised the heavy-lifting for explaining the goblins PF2 ret-con has been placed on PFS scenarios, but I know you guys are doing the best you can in a pretty difficult situation.

Spoiler:
I don't see the big revolt against non-CE goblins. Golarion's a massive place with incredibly diverse groups even within races, after all! My players have loved these little guys in recent scenarios. Besides, fantasy's a genre where one of the most popular and well-known characters is a Chaotic Good drow, y'know? Sure, we're a long way from We Be Goblins in several cases in this season, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it a retcon.
