Pathfinder Society Scenario #2-02: Mountain of Sea and Sky

A good set of diverse challenges will make any type of build feel like they contribute to the mission.
The final fight is very tough however.

I really like the early encounters where you attempt to finish the assignment, and depending on your group, easily finish it with good notes. The social encounter is definitely interesting.

My only gripe with this scenario is the boss battle. The lower level boss is really hard to damage if all of the character are level 3. I wish that part of the boss can be tuned at lowest CR. At higher tier, it doesn't feel as bad because said defense is easier to be dealt with. I wish any future encounter within 3-6 tier take different tuning when the group is all level 3 without striking rune.

I think title is enough.

...Okay, yeah, there is more to comment about: Its good "befriend locals and they come back to help you in finale!" scenario with really great flavor(Aojimitsu the best, sad that party was one point off completely befriending him) and moments, but it for some reason has pointless filler battle with boar. Almost exactly same kind of filler combat as in Devil at the Crossroads. Like I didn't think scenario needed that encounter, and even if it did need third encounter they could have tied it to story somehow.

Boss is really harsh solo boss again in organized player where it isn't guaranteed every character is in tier or party is balanced, but uh, party survived so I guess balance worked? Either way really scary and hard battle, BUT incredibly cool ;D

(another way to summarize the scenario: Clearly Studio Ghibli and Princess Mononoke inspirations)

The first two scenarios this season are about the Society reaching out to places in the world that it has never visited before (a good thing). Is it an accident that this season is titled “the Year of Corruption's Reach?” One wonders.

This was a good scenario. The tests were fulfilling – not bound by strange rules, or flat depending on only the luck of the dice. I love that the scenario left open-ended how the characters would approach and deal with the challenges, rather than making assumptions.
