A Fistful of Flowers

[pseudonick]

It sounds as if some people got to run the upcoming Free RPG Day adventure "A Fistful of Flowers" at PaizoCon or another convention. That said, I was trying to figure out which maps/map packs (or even pawns) were used so I could order what I need because I am running it at my LGS on Free RPG Day.

Any help is appreciated. I am not trying to get any spoilers or have anyone break release day, I just want to purchase the appropriate related content.

From the thread for the Product Discussion, it sounds like they were custom maps, not an existing map pack. One of the GMs who ran it previously offered to link a copy of custom minis they made (cardstock print outs) early on release date for other GMs who might want them.

I will keep an eye out. Thank you!

I am going to run this at GenCon and would LOVE for anyone to share ideas and resources! I'm going to dig into this over the next two weeks and will post anything I create here!

Just read through this . . . what are the delays? Like, I see where they happen but I don't see what affect they have on the PCs if they get4 delays, or if they arrive early.

I know it was last year, but did anyone ever plan out a 5th-level sorcerer to fight the PCs instead? I might want her to do a little pruning, then give up in frustration when the PCs prove to be too uppity for her, or similar.

Wyrmblessed bloodline
Source The Mwangi Expanse pg. 75 2.0
You lay claim to the might of dragons, but your powers are sacred instead of arcane—born from a worship of draconic might so powerful it infused your blood or, perhaps, from a celestial or draconic power blessing one of your ancestors received.
Spell List divine (but Meliosa uses primal)
Bloodline Skills Intimidation, Religion
Granted Spells cantrip: read aura, 1st: mage armor, 2nd: resist energy, 3rd: haste, 4th: reflective scales, 5th: cloak of colors, 6th: repulsion, 7th: mask of terror, 8th: divine inspiration, 9th: overwhelming presence
Bloodline Spells initial: dragon claws, advanced: dragon breath, greater: dragon wings
Blood Magic Draconic might carries in your voice. Either you gain a +1 status bonus to Intimidation checks for 1 round, or a target takes a –1 status penalty to Will saves for 1 round.

A chronicle of the actual encounter with this version of Lady Constance Meliosa can be found at Playtesting in A Fistful of Flowers with 7 Leshies, comment #7. The players and their characters had come to rescue leshies rather than battle leshies, so they preferred combat with Meliosa rather than her guard leshies. If I ever run A Fistful of Flowers again, I will replace the guard leshies with flower-like constructs instead.

I like what you've done with her. I gave her a Water-Elemental bloodline, partially so that she could "overwater" them with Hydraulic Push or a water-related Fireball (sucks water out of the ground, and detonates a high-pressure blast!), and partially because being able to boss the water around would give her a lot of power in a flower-reliant place.
I also gave her the Elaborate Flourish feat instead of Alchemy Crafting.
