PSA Quests: Angels' Flight [SPOILERS]

[treidenb]

The party receives a reward at the end of Swamp, but the text mentions that its powers are not revealed until the next Quest. I didn't read anything on how they would learn of its powers and the item's description suggests that activation requires a command word. Should it be assumed that the boggards explain the use of the magic item and how to activate it or is this something a spellcraft check would identify for them?

[Seth Brummond]

It is assumed the boggards explain how to use it, but if you would like the characters to roll spellcraft checks, feel free!

[Vanessa Hoskins]

My opinion (author for Swamp) is that the intention is to use it. Assume you are instructed in its use. Development may have another opinion on the matter, however.

[Linda Zayas-Palmer]

Popping in to confirm that the PCs know how to use the item. Whether you want to say that the boggards told them or they figured it out themselves is up to you.

Is this available for download? I'm having trouble finding it.

I ran three groups at Gen Con and let the boggards explain how the magic item would work. The players agreed on their own command word, so the kids enjoyed having a bit of creativity with that. The first group chose "Pancakes!"

Overall, this was a great Quest series and I had a lot of fun seeing how each group of kids handled things differently. Five hours was a bit long on the attention span of some kids, but they had a lot of fun by the end. Unfortunately, we didn't have time for the dragon in the first group, but the others were really excited for that. One young player was playing the Lini pregen and wanted to make it his pet! The other group was just as happy to say they fought a dragon.

Since this released with the new Pathfinder Academy Transitions lessons at Gen Con, I imagine they'll be announced with a blog post at some point.

I say the command word for the fetish is Bog-BURP!

It would be good if the stats for the swarm could be added to the bestiary section at the end. As is it could through people off since they may expect all the stats to be included.
