Hello fellow Pathfinders!
This week I present to you our first adventure for The Orichalcum Fever. This adventure is, in fact, one big, extended encounter, where the players race some orcs to the top of a watchtower. This adventure was my first time ever writing and GMing for Pathfinder 2e, and I had a ton of fun doing it so.
At the time, I chose to write a very combat-heavy adventure because, while my players were all veterans, only one of them had any experience with the system. So putting them on the spot made everyone pay attention to the game and its rules. By the end of it, everyone knew what their character could do and how the system worked.
This is the starting point of our campaign. As previously stated, our Adventure Path will be divided into quests, with three categories: Main Quests, Regular Quests and Dilemma Quests. As the game introduction, this adventure falls into the Main Quest category, so we’ll refer to it as M-1.
The adventure has a brief introduction of the overall scenario, but we don’t get into details for the overarching plot. If you want to know more, read the articles on the Blog with the Lore tag.
Down below you’ll find the PDF for the adventure, along with a .rar file that contains the maps and tokens for the adventure itself. Maps were made using Dungeon Painter Studio (Legacy Version) and various packs from the Steam Workshop. Tokens were made using Hero Forge portraits.
Next week, as the party travels up the Conquest Pass, we’ll discuss the hexploration rules, filling the regional map with places of interest, and tweak the rules a little bit.
Stay safe, everyone!
