Ten thousand flawless killers surround the city. Utterly silent in battle and in death, they seem unconquerable. They mean to choke the life out of the age-old city and leave it an empty ruin. The city calls upon its heroes to defeat this unnatural menace. The heroes gather to ponder the question: how do you defeat an impregnable foe? And then a wizard from a far-off world whisks the heroes away to fight battle of a very different sort, leaving them with a strange neon pink glow around their eyesโ€ฆ Note: This adventure can be used setting neutral or as a means to enter the "Purple Planet" DCC setting.

A ten-part, fourthcore megadungeon designed to take a party of 4-6 players from level 1 to level 10. The Voice of All spoke three times before falling into silence. The first time to give shape to the Ancients. The second to give them the world as their domain. The third to build the TOWER for the war that was to come. And war did come. The Ancients, primordial warriors charged with protecting the world, were subverted by three great crusaders, vindictive and powerful. The Ancients were stripped of immortality and cast from the heavens to serve and suffer with the rest of humanity. The crusaders claimed new bodies for themselves, and became the Triumvirate, god-tyrants of all realms. The long line of descendants of the Ancients is dwindling, along with humanityโ€™s last hope. What few remain have gathered to enter the TOWER OF THE ASCENDANTS. Crumbling stone tablets of ages forgotten say that a mortal who ascends the TOWER that pierces the heavens and slays the gods who dwell in its highest bower will reclaim lost immortality.

A Pathfinder Roleplaying Game adventure for 4th-level characters, this volume of Pathfinder Adventure Path is part 2 of 6 of the Kingmaker Adventure Path, in which the heroes win and defend a small kingdom from threats foreign and domestic. PCs should advance to 7th level by the end of this adventure. The PCs receive a shipment of funds, materials, and colonists from Brevoy and beyond, along with instructions to build a town and attract more pioneers to their nascent country. Having already explored the northern reaches of their new domain, the PCs must now venture into the wilds to bring the rule of law to the south. Wicked fey inhabiting a ruined keep, undead haunting an ancient barrow mound, and others must be defeated to make the region ever more secure. Along the way, the PCs might also have the opportunity to ally themselves with some of the regionโ€™s local residents, including the dryad druid Tiressia, her satyr consort Falchos, and a band of gnome explorers called the Narthropple Expedition. In addition, the PCs will be called upon to mediate between two rival factions in the area: a group of independent loggers and the angry fey sorceress who opposes them. As they explore, evidence that a group of trolls is stirring up trouble in the region becomes apparent. Meanwhile, the PCs must deal with events within their burgeoning kingdomโ€”a rabble rouser seeks to oust the PCs from their positions of power, the secretive cult of the hag goddess Gyronna has infiltrated the town, and a werewolf is preying on the townsfolk. All of these events build to the adventureโ€™s twin climaxes: the sudden assault on their capital city by an owlbear of unprecedented size and the expansion of Hargulkaโ€™s trolls into the north. Faced with danger on multiple fronts, the PCs must draw upon all of their resources and bravery to become the undisputed rulers of the Greenbelt.

Players must recruit allies, heal local wounds, and confront the looming threat- all while they reckon with the brutality that lurks inside and out. Heroes of Green Hollow is a D&D adventure that asks what it costs to leave a lasting legacy of goodness, and challenges players to recognize the consequences of drawing their sword. โ—† Difficult choices lead to completely distinct events and outcomes โ—† Guidance for creating characters with deep ties to the story โ—† Powerful DM tools for customizing the adventure to player preferences โ—† Low on prep time, high on drama and big narrative moments ๐‡๐ž๐ซ๐จ๐ž๐ฌ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐†๐ซ๐ž๐ž๐ง ๐‡๐จ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฐโ€ฆ โ€ข Is an all-new campaign book for the D&D 5E system. โ€ข Designed for parties levels 3-5 โ€ข 200 pages long. โ€ข Features over 17 original full-color painterly illustrations and 11 new custom full-color maps โ€ข Includes a range of specialized character backgrounds and story hooks to help DMs integrate their parties deeper into the story. โ€ข Tools and tips to support new DM's running their first full campaign. ๐‡๐ž๐ซ๐จ๐ž๐ฌ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐†๐ซ๐ž๐ž๐ง ๐‡๐จ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐š๐ฏ๐š๐ข๐ฅ๐š๐›๐ฅ๐ž ๐จ๐ง ๐ƒ๐Œ๐ฌ๐†๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐.๐œ๐จ๐ฆ! ๐–๐š๐ง๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฒ ๐›๐ž๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ๐ž ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐›๐ฎ๐ฒ? ๐˜๐จ๐ฎ ๐œ๐š๐ง ๐ฌ๐œ๐จ๐ฉ๐ž ๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐š ๐Ÿ๐ซ๐ž๐ž ๐ฉ๐ซ๐ž๐ฏ๐ข๐ž๐ฐ ๐ก๐ž๐ซ๐ž! https://green-hollow.com/preview/ ๐๐ซ๐š๐ข๐ฌ๐ž ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐‡๐ž๐ซ๐จ๐ž๐ฌ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐†๐ซ๐ž๐ž๐ง ๐‡๐จ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฐ: โ€œGreen Hollow is an amazing adventure that hopefully paves the way for more of its kind.

Some good examples include strong NPC dialogue, interior and exterior descriptions, DM Tips, and sidequests which make navigating the information easy but all give guidance in how to run this campaign. This also comes into play with the Combat tips. A powerful monsterโ€™s stat block can be quite daunting but the team have worked well to create easy to read guidance.

The city is plagued by an affliction being called "stone sickness" or "the gorgonโ€™s touch" that disorients people and turns them to stone. Those with, or suspected to have, the affliction are being banished from the city. Some demand a cure, but most are just scared for their loved ones. A ravenfolk woman named Spinel Larkdon, mother to a child with the gorgonโ€™s touch, begs the PCs for assistance. An artifact known as the Shroud of Tiberesh, capable of curing any sickness, is locked away within The Umbers' vault of spoils below the city. Passionate, she is determined to save her son and all those afflicted. Fortunately for the player characters, completing the Umberโ€™s Gauntlet alive means they are not only entitled entrance into the cult, but also a single item from its vault of spoils. The PC's only hope of procuring the Shroud is by traversing this initiation Gauntlet โ€“ a series of traps, monsters, and puzzles devoted to the demon-god Nakresh - and claiming the Shroud as their prize.
