Advice for Basrakal Sidequests, party is level 4


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


If you're one of my players in "The End of Days" then stop reading.

My players have recently arrived in Basrakal, the Maelstrom city of misaligned outsiders. Its filled with outsiders who are different from, though not necessarily opposite of, their natural alignment. My pcs went there as part of the main quest for the campaign, but right now they're hoping to take a break from the main quest and do some sidequesting. I am hoping for a bit of narrative inspiration. For some info, the players are level 4 gestalts. They're fairly powerful players with optimal builds and a good deal of third party content on top of being gestalt, so I generally treat them as two levels higher for cr purposes.

Here's one sidequest I have so far:

The pc's bard friend has entered into a musical talent show ran by a lillend. One of the pcs, a paladin of Shelyn was able to figure out that the Lillend is actually evil and selling her most talented competitors into slavery. She has since gotten the aid of a musical band of reformed fiends to try and put a stop to this evil Lillends schemes and save their bard friend.

That's a good idea of the sidequest. Short, interesting take on the premise of Basrakal. Preferably I would like to have a few more of these sidequests to enjoy. Do any of you have some ideas as to what might be a good sidequest for adventurers of this level in such a weird setting? Again, preferably small sidequests, I'd like these to be relatively short so I can fit a few in the session.


1 of the party member have a nemesis that he wanted never see again but there she was, later by some research he finds that 1 of the lost rune blade is goin to put in auction, and if he gets the sword he and all his friends will be in problem (you can change the sword for a staff of magi or the book of damned)


As it happens one of my pcs took the nemesis feat for an early enemy they met. Might be fun to have them encounter them unexpectedly here. He's a barbarian/fighter gestalt, though a rune blade wouldn't work, as my pcs in a previous campaign destroyed all of the runelord staves and swords at the end of Return of the Runelords, but there might be something else to consider.

Well my main pc have a unique artifact called "legacy of azlanti"

It's a spell book for my pc (since she is a arcanist azlanti pure blood of that era) and also contain all the knowledge, crafting, technology and dark secret of the azlanti. People from all the planes are trying to get this book from me but what they don't know it's that got eternal bond to me and only open to show basic spell to other than me
