Tyrant's Grasp Adventure Path

The heroes awaken already defeated—slain by a superweapon unlike anything seen before on Golarion. They must fight their way back to the land of the living and warn the rest of Lastwall of this new threat in the grasp of the newly returned lich-king long thought consigned to history. Will hubris damn the last bulwark against the Whispering Tyrant's return? And can a handful of heroes stand against one of the most ancient threats ever to loom over Golarion?

The Dead Roads (1 of 6): The calamitous return of the lich-king known as the Whispering Tyrant pitches the heroes into the land of the dead, but alive and intact. When the psychopomps—guides for the deceased—are at a loss to explain their unusual arrival, the heroes must navigate a treacherous landscape along the secret Dead Roads that tie the afterlife to the living world. Can the heroes survive otherworldly dangers and return to life, or will they fall to the reaper?

Eulogy for Roslar's Coffer (2 of 6): Returning to the land of the living, the PCs explore the ruins of the town of Roslar's Coffer, the center of the devastating blast that sent them to the afterlife. Populated with newly risen undead, twisted creatures, and cultists of the Whispering Way, Roslar's Coffer offers danger around every corner. Will the PCs be able to escape the clouds of poisonous fog that encompas the town to warn the rest of the world of the rising threat to all life?

Last Watch (3 of 6): Having learned that the undead-obsessed Whispering Way was behind the attack on the remote village of Roslar's Coffer, the heroes head to the city of Vigil to alert the goodly Knights of Ozem. The paladins of that city have their own troubles, however, and are inclined to dismiss the heroes' dire warnings as fanciful tales. The heroes must prove that the threat posed by the Whispering Tyrant's agents is all too real and confront the troubles facing Vigil to avert another disaster.

Gardens of Gallowspire (4 of 6): As the heroes escort survivors from the doomed city of Vigil, they receive an urgent message from their mysterious patron. The Whispering Tyrant is working his way free of his imprisonment in Gallowspire, and the time is at hand to strike! The heroes must venture into the haunted lands of Virlych to confront the mighty lich-lord before he recovers his full power, and before he can unleash another horrid blast of his devastating super-weapon, the Radiant Fire.

Borne by the Sun’s Grace (5 of 6): The heroes are whisked away moments before their destruction in a titanic battle to the distant continent of Arcadia. What seems like a random accident turns out to be a final message from Arazni, who teleported the adventurers to her homeland and the place Aroden first forged the shield that Tar-Baphon now wields as a weapon. But even an ocean away, the heroes aren't free from the legacies of both Aroden and the Whispering Tyrant; they must confront the horrors both men left behind before they can ally with the artificers of Jolizpan and learn the truth about the fragments of the artifact embedded in their souls.

Midwives to Death (6 of 6): The Tyrant's Grasp Adventure Path reaches its world-shaping conclusion! The heroes learn that the keys to stopping Tar-Baphon's deadly Radiant Fire are the shards of the Shattered Shield still lodged in their souls—the only things dangling their lives above the grasp of the Boneyard. The heroes return to Lastwall to confront the Whispering Tyrant, but discover that he has led his army to the fields outside the city of Absalom. There, the Whispering Tyrant plans to blast his way through the city and crack the Starstone Cathedral open, transforming himself into a true god! The PCs must battle the lich's most powerful allies, turn the power of the Radiant Fire back on the Whispering Tyrant, and end the threat he now poses to the world.

A Clash of Titans

The Whispering Tyrant is free! The time to strike against him is now, before he recovers his full might and his long-dormant armies. Arazni, fallen demigoddess and queen of the dead lands of Geb, presents the heroes with a daring plan. The heroes must enter the dangerous land of Virlych, pass the bizarre profusion of alien plants and mutated wildlife around the Whispering Tyrant's former prison, and disable his arcane protections so that Arazni and the heroes can face the lich in battle. Yet Arazni's undead bodyguard-jailors seek to drag her back to Geb, and the remaining knights of Lastwall perceive both liches as their enemies. The heroes must navigate threats from both the living and the dead to stop the Whispering Tyrant from extending his grasp even further!

Sent to a Distant Land

Mighty magic has hurled the heroes across the world to the continent of Arcadia, but their remarkable travel is no accident. In the land of Xopatl, the heroes find ancient legacies that unlock the secrets they have carried ever since they awoke in the realm of the dead. But this land of magic and wonder is no safe haven—agents of the Whispering Tyrant terrorize even this distant nation. If the heroes can overcome followers of wicked new gods and defend a city desperate to revitalize its lost magic, they might learn how to turn the tide against the Whispering Tyrant and put an end to his fearsome weapon forever. From lively festivals and masked brawlers to undead terrors and arcane botany gone horribly wrong, the heroes are sure to find more than they bargained for in a land unlike any other they've seen.

This volume of Pathfinder Adventure Path continues the Tyrant's Grasp Adventure Path and includes:

  • "Borne by the Sun's Grace," a Pathfinder RPG adventure for 14th-level characters, by Luis Loza.

Against the Rise of Terror

The heroes finally have the tools they need to stop the Whispering Tyrant, but the lich-king has not been idle. Why has he devoted so much attention to an isolated border fortress, right when divinity seems to be within his grasp? A quest to discover the tyrant's secrets plunges the heroes into a deadly race through a fecund forest, into fearsome dungeons built long before the Shining Crusade, and between spiteful villains harboring ancient grudges. Old enemies stand in the heroes' way yet again, but unexpected allies can help turn the rising tide of death and despair. If the heroes are victorious, they can seize the only chance to deny the Whispering Tyrant his greatest weapon and strike him down before he gains the power of a god.

This volume of Pathfinder Adventure Path provides the dramatic conclusion to the Tyrant's Grasp Adventure Path and includes:

  • "Midwives to Death," a Pathfinder RPG adventure for 16th-level characters, by John Compton.
  • A massive article celebrating the final Adventure Path volume for the first edition of the Pathfinder RPG. Written by Paizo's developers and designers to close out the first edition with a bang, this article presents new monsters, GM advice, gods both new and revised, staff PCs, a new prestige class, new archetypes, and more! These new rules work with the Tyrant's Grasp Adventure Path or any campaign, and are written by John Compton, Adam Daigle, Eleanor Ferron, Thurston Hillman, James Jacobs, Jason Keeley, Luis Loza, Ron Lundeen, Robert G. McCreary, Erik Mona, Michael Sayre, Owen K.C. Stephens, Mark Seifter, and Linda Zayas-Palmer.
