The heroes and their circus arrive in Willowside, a swamp community in dire need of diversion from the relentless expansion of the blighted land known as the Welt. Willowside soon experiences a problem of a different sort, as dinosaur-riding xulgaths blockade the town. The heroes mount a defense of the village and learn what has brought the xulgaths to this isolated settlement. When the heroes break the siege, they learn that the xulgaths follow a monstrous ex-slave and have forsaken their directive to assault a nearby aeon tower. The tower's current occupants know more, and put the heroes on the path to reach the fifth and final aeon orb.

“Siege of the Dinosaurs” is a Pathfinder adventure for four 13th-level characters. This adventure continues the Extinction Curse Adventure Path, a six-part, monthly campaign in which the heroes lead a traveling circus as they unravel a plot to eradicate all life from the islands of the Inner Sea. This volume also includes a gazetteer of the town of Willowside and lore about the inhabitants of the Abyssal realm of Gluttondark, as well as new monsters and xulgath-themed rules.

Each monthly full-color softcover Pathfinder Adventure Path volume contains an in-depth adventure scenario, stats for several new monsters, and support articles meant to give Game Masters additional material to expand their campaign. Pathfinder Adventure Path volumes use the Open Game License and work with both the Pathfinder RPG and the world's oldest fantasy RPG.

Best book so far

5/5 —

I think what makes this book great is its focus on the town of Willowside. It uses Chapter 1 to set up the town and introduce the denizens. Chapter 2 to set the mystery underneath. And Chapter 3 is the culmination of the setup with a very satisfying resolution.

Good npc variety, plenty of player choice, good rp.

The book is so good it can even be used as a standalone adventure. Highly recommend.

If the dinosaur fort spell is not in this book I will be very disappointed.

I'm loving all this Zevgavizeb supplements we are getting! Well, we are against his most common worshipers after all.

Are we perhaps getting xulgaths as a playable race in the future?

This is the first volume oft "Extinction Curse" that Sounds interesting to me, but only because it would allow me to use my HUGE & GARGANTUAN dinosaur minis/toys in an adventure setting.

So far these are the Second Edition Bestiary Dinosaurs:

-Ankylosaurus HUGE level 6
-Brontosaurus GARGANTUAN level 10
-Deinonychus medium level 2
-Stegosaurus HUGE level 7
-Triceratops HUGE level 8
-Tyrannosaurus GARGANTUAN level 10
-Velociraptor small level 1

All but the two gargantuan creatures should be in november 2019s upcoming Bestiary Pawn box, but i think the Adventure & it's pawn set will contain a few extra dinosaur and also new ones?

In the same month as this volume, there will also be the Bestiary 2 coming out and that will probably contain even more dinosaurs.

At least this should have the "Pteranodon", as that creature is included in octobers upcoming "Pathfinder Battles: Legendary Adventures" prepainted minis set!

I wonder whether the Plesiosaurs will be in this one or B2?

Because he's a super busy guy! Fortunately, Kate Baker was on hand to tackle this one, and she really brought the awesome.

Even though he didn't write this, I'm more interested in James Jacob's Squee Count for this volume.

Will there be more dinosaurs and dinosaur animal companions now?

Yes! (A few reptilian companions, at least.) I'd like to make one point about dinosaurs: we have some new dinosaurs in this adventure path, but they're not in the Adventure Toolbox as "new monster writeup" creatures. As their stat blocks are usually fairly simple, they're included in the text of the adventure itself when they show up.

Thank you.

There is also the Mokele-mbembe in the Age of Ashes campaign.

Sweet, I've always enjoyed your work. I'm even more curious now.

Great cover

So EC 4 of 6 is not on sale as part of the Paizo Spring Sale. But EC 5 of 6 is. Based on other pre-order PDF's being on sale, I think that this one should be on sale too, yeah?

It's in a weird spot. Currently it says it's expected to start shipping next week. The Absalom book got yanked but so far Bestiary 2 and EC 4 haven't been slated for delays... I have no idea what to expect anymore. I think it depends on what they've gotten printed already, but I'd be surprised if either have seen a full run of printing?

Really looking forward to this one! My favorite title of the Adventure Path for sure.

Downloaded!

Toolbox has the following companions: cave gecko (helps you with maneuvers), monitor lizard (disrupts opponents), cave pterosaur (covers you with its wings).

Blood Feast spell makes for a nice visual. Interestingly it doesn't have the attack trait.

Very cool! Mind sharing what's in the bestiary?

1 person marked this as a favorite.

Sure:

Giant Aukashugi (Creature 14), a very big (sort of) centipede from the Gluttondark

Brughadatch (juvenile Creature 7, midlife Creature 10, and elder Creature 13), some froglike fey

Faceless Butcher (Creature 11), a humanoid with a remove face [AA] attack, and the ability to wear said face (why else would you have that attack) and transform into the previous owner's body.

Harrow Doll (Creature 8), a neutral large construct that's going to throw it's cards at you, if you don't like the future they laid out for you.

Qurashith (Creature 17), a huge winged fiend from the Gluttondark

Tallow Ooze (Creature 11), [joking]the bane of all fitness gurus[/joking]

Xilvirek (Creature 12), a fiend with a hypnotic stench and psionic scent (nice combo[?])

and the

Xulgath Gutrager (Creature 10), because Extinction Curse. I'll call it "advanced stench", and boy does it get ugly when they go down.

I'm curious about what sort of player-focused material they have in the toolbox, if any.
