A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 5th- through 8th-level characters.

The Burning Sun orc hold has spent the past year guarding the body of Mahja Firehair as she fights her Crucible in the afterlife, however there have been strange attacks on Freedom Town as of late. Desperate for answers and hopeful for assistance, Uirch reaches out to the Pathfinder Society to investigate the mysterious attackers and see if their flames belong to the Whispering Tyrant or another enemy lying in wait. The Pathfinders will need to investigate the town, while ensuring that an enemy of mythical proportions doesn't see their plan succeed and interrupt Mahja's Crucible.

    Nice plot

    4/5

    Nice follow-up to 4-15.

    Scenario does a really good job feeling cinematic and engaging with larger interesting Golarion plots.

    Investigation has good foreshadowing to what's going on, and the final battle feels appropriately cinematic, with just enough extras given to avoid the final boss from getting run over.

    Scenario flows nicely, plot is appropriate for level 5-8 characters, with the plot unfolding into bigger things in a good way.

    I'd really like to give this 5 stars, but some particularly poor editing (copy/pasting incorrect instructions from another scenario) reduce it to 4 stars.


    1/5

    I wasn't really sure what to do with my Redeemer Champion for the last encounter... If it were an honorable fight fine, but having others casting spells on them is not an honorable fight. If they wanted to have a allied spellcaster fine, someone we could take out, but having bystanders healing them isn't honorable. For the first time, I hoped we lost so he wouldn't die in combat.

    This was great! It doesn't develop Mahja's story much, but it does allow a lucky player to possibly...

    Big spoiler here:
    help give rise to another orc deity. Turns out Mahja isn't the only one with a Vow Mark.

    We should know for sure by War of Immortals. Triumph of the Tusk at the latest.

    Can we get clarification on some issues with this scenario?

    5-15 spoilers:
    Event 1: There is just one set of DCs for the chase. No distinction between high and low tier
    Area A4: No scaling information

    Envoy's Alliance

    A couple of other questions:

    Uirch's Spells:

    At both Tiers, he has Flame Strike prepared as a 4th level spell. But its base level is 5. What should I do?
