I ran this module as a side-quest / foreshadowing for my Agents of Edgewatch campaign. My notes are very patchy but I thought I'd share them in case they are useful to someone else.

Should be okay for around level 10-11 PCs.

Playing the corresponding card against a storykin applies the weak adjustment to them for the rest of the fight.

Events:
Andera Paldreen as Algon the Ever-Seeking.

Α. Midnight circus
Combine A2 and A3 into one encounter. 2 reskinned Feathered Bears as the unicycle bears (Feathered Charge represents their exceptional ability with the unicycles). Raja Rakshasa as Bernaditi.

B. Briar
A leveled-down Rabbit Prince as the Rabbit Prince. (In foundry use the workbench module to do this automatically; otherwise just reverse-engineer it using the creature building rules).

C. Demon's Fen
Change the owl into a skill challenge without any combat. Xiuh Couatl as the couatl. Leng Ghoul as the Barrow King.

D. Manmolds
Steam Vents as the steam vents. Formian Queen as the ant queen; either level it down to be an appropriate challenge or turn into an threatening RP encounter with occasional attack/ability usage but not a full fight.

E. Prophet's Garden
Confounding Betrayal as the hunter's horn trap. Replace Sonnorae fight with a Flensing Blades hazard to simulate her haunted ghostly outburst.

F. Sanguine Playhouse
Grig as grig. A leveled-down (just reduce the DCs) Dance of Death as the fiddle hazard. Use Planar Terra-Cotta Soldier as Balio and Balimar with the following changes:

  • • Occupies 2 adjacent spaces instead of 1
  • • Add a simplified "Act Together" ability: Free action; Trigger Balimar Casts A Spell; Effect Balio can take a 1-action activity.
  • • Add some spells: Vibrant Pattern, Mirror Malefactors, Wall of Stone, Chromatic Armor, Haste, Mirror Image.

G. Smith’s Caldera
Great Cyclops as the cyclops. Kolyarut as Ticktock.

H. Trackless Dearth
Denizen of Leng as Nightpeddler

I. Striding Fortress
Marid and Efreeti in I5, 3 Succubi in I9, Adult Blue Dragon as Zassrion. Simplify/skip the rest of the fights.
