This is a spoiler-filled resource thread for the third volume of the Blood Lords AP, Field of Maidens by Jenny Jarzabski.

I think this is my favorite volume of the AP so far. Chapter 1 is a series of mini-dungeons with good potential for RP in between. Seldeg Bhedlis as a traveling companion is very fun. I love the way chapter 2 is written with the multitude of approaches that players can take, and the back matter on Holomog is captivating. Not sure how I feel about the dollhouse dungeon in chapter 3 yet, but either way it’s a quick detour and doesn’t take up the bulk of the chapter.
I find it very interesting that the PCs find out who the ultimate villain of the AP is at the end of this book but can’t do anything about it. I hope book 4 gives solid guidance on what to do if the PCs try ratting Kemnebi out to Geb.

It escalates by having the PCs personally approached by Seldeg Bhedlis, Geb’s head graveknight, to go after Iron Taviah, so there’s some extra responsibility being thrown their way. But I’d say the biggest change is that it sees the PCs interacting with people outside of Geb for the first time, and they have more autonomy than ever in how they approach it. They could be diplomatic with the factions in Holomog, they could turn them against each other, or just kill them all.
Oh, and at the very end of the adventure, Geb asks the PCs to stand in front of him personally.
This AP seems interesting but I am just on the cusp on being fully sold.
Do we know of there are any uses or ties for Reputation in this book? I was hoping the AP would have more political intrigue but even the reputation system has had little impact in the AP so far.
I think I would be sorely disappointed if that system didnt get used for 50% of the story.

I would expect that to come into play more fully once the players become Blood Lords themselves.
Um... who is Aeolaeka
