Follow our journey through Paizo’s Rise of the Runelords Adventure Path using the Pathfinder Role-playing Game system!
Delvahine is looking for some company, which would apparently go a long way in helping her deal with her grief. Vraxeris meant a great deal to her. Or so she says. Her reward for the party is a magical corset, but obviously the party is searching for something they can use as a weapon component …
A single door remains unexplored. Fyn opens it, quite nonchalantly, revealing a sparse sleeping chambers. Thankfully, there doesn’t seem to be any additional Vraxeris clones stacked in here. However, that’s not to say there aren’t clones. Six scantily-clad copies of Delvahine shriek out and attack, startling Fyn. He blasts a quick Chain Lightning spell in …
As the attack of the clones rages on, the party adjusts their tactics. It’s been a hot minute since they’ve fought so many spellcasters at once, and it’s easy to forget how devastating the effects can be. Krask, eager to get in his sneak attack damage, uses his invisibility to great advantage. Over the course …
Still locked in battle with their clones, the party holds the line as best they can. The fake Fobias lashes out at Trace with his flaming ranseur, dealing massive damage. Barnaby’s clone follows up by cutting the paladin across the eyes. In fact, Trace becomes blinded by the blow, blood pouring down his face. Krask …
The party backtracks a bit to do some things before entering the Shimmering Veils of Pride. Fyn handles the dragon turtle while copying a bunch of spells into his spellbook. This is a much-needed exercise. Meanwhile, Fobias does his best to neutralize the poison in Barnaby. Unfortunately, the poison bursts from the halfling’s arm, nearly …
Even with Jordimandus out of the picture, the battle for the Festering Maze is far from over. As the slothful leader turns to stone on his throne, the party turns their attention to the newcomers. A pair of hideous, tentacled beasts enters the room. One bursts through the bubbling sludge, clinging to the balcony by …
The Elder Water Elemental rears back and unleashes a torrential slam on Fyn. Its momentum carries its strike through Fyn and cleaves, hitting the grappling omox demon as well. Trace finally floats to the surface, gasping for air. He scrambles back up onto the platform to gather his bearings. Krask continues to cough and hits …
The noxious fumes waft through the air, causing the party to cough and wheeze. Luckily, none of them succumb to the harsh airborne diseases. Our heroes press onwards. Thick, nasty slime covers the walls of Sloth. Occasionally, a fist-sized spider or centipede skitters across the surface. Apart from the canals of sludge, a layer of …
BOOM! Fobias and Trace are hit with negative energy that bursts from the sarcophagi. Fyn quickly drops into the hole and teleports them back up to the surface before the trap can do any more damage. Understanding the nature of this magical trap, Fyn and Krask decide to go down together and hopefully figure out …
The party continues their search for Azaven. Without any true leads, they follow the halls to rooms they haven’t search yet. This latest hallway brings them to a U-shaped room filled with large urns. While the party inspects them, Krask notices some inconsistencies in the wall. It’s a secret door! Excited, the party enters the …
