Text of the page (random words):
hunt is dropped upon the agents mid campaign and while it does take them across the width and breadth of cheliax there s no consideration for travel and the presentation ends up being a series of disconnected encounters anyway before her infernal majestrix had time to send the party off to storm the castle they had some time for shopping of course even a bustling metropolis like egorian doesn t have everything a well to do adventurer might need and thus the agents like in so many previous campaigns turned their gaze to the planes as a planescape fan i have a personal dislike of players treating the planes like a shopping mall i also just straight use planescape instead of pathfinder s interpretation and so when they stumbled through a portal to sig uh i mean axis and headed off to buy new magical gear i was ready and the poor sods ended up accidentally stumbling through a portal into the events of the deva spark the module of course is one where a deva relinquishes his angelic spark to go undercover in the lower planes and the spark ends up in a bebilith demon who then becomes very confused and has an identity crisis and the party needs to herd it through one of the upper planes without getting it killed so the situation can be resolved it s a lovely adventure because it genuinely presents alternative solutions to the issue and does not strongly assume that the pcs side with the cosmic good which of course they didn t the citadel dinyar sequence is the best part of scourge of the godclaw it s somewhat open ended and rather organic in how the defenders react to the party s assault or infiltration there are ways to shortcut encounters paladins to turn prisoners to rescue and rearm and officers to eliminate and of course a golden dragon to slay in the middle of the module i snuck in another adventure from dungeon the infamous porphyry house horror a d d 3 0 scenario written for use with the book of vile darkness to raise hype it was printed with sealed pages that you had to cut open yourself it was good for two sessions in writing the conversion i changed the proprietors of porphyry house from yuan ti not a pathfinder creature into reptilians for the orlath demon at the end i used a conversion from the creature chronicle which is an invaluable resource when utilizing stuff from older editions the adventure is silly splatter comedy and juvenile sexuality all the way through and we had great fun with it it also kinda had the issue that that it assumed the party is a force for good but i figured that what the hell i ll probably never run another pathfinder campaign where those themes are appropriate after the party has concluded the last part of making their wmd the focus of which is that golden dragon s severed head they will have to fight the dragon s ghost it s a bit of a questionable encounter first of all there is no foreshadowing and it s likely the party will do it immediately after clearing out a monastery full of geryon s monks and wiping out a minor hellknight order without resting in between second the creature is not only tough but also potentially rule breaking depending on how one views the compatibility of vital strike with a ghost s corrupting touch for an impressive 34d6 points of damage my party did rest but then they chose to head off to arabelle s personal demiplane to actually perform the ritual and the thing about really tiny demiplanes is that an enemy with enough reach can effectively threaten your whole world hell comes to westcrown in hell comes to westcrown the agents start off by blowing up an army of the glorious revolution with the tathlum magical nuke that they just spent a book creating and then infiltrate the paladin occupied westcrown take out key targets reclaim the asmoedan cathedral and finally fight alexeara cansellarion the big good boss of hell s vengeance our interpretation started off innocently enough with the deployment of the wmd which in my opinion is kind of a whiff after just spending an entire book on making the bloody thing there s not enough build up for the army or its leadership to actually have any emotional stakes to it but at least you can have a fight between nightwalkers and paladin troops then they infiltrated westcrown and everything went off the rails partly this was planned partly not see we d played council of thieves mostly for the purpose of fleshing out westcrown in preparation for this there were former pcs and their henchmen waiting for them the old westcrown resistance had been levelled up and in some cases given really interesting classes like the talent from the grievously unbalanced d20 ruleset at the back of godlike or the classes from book of nine swords with a few slight tweaks to make them more pathfinder compatible the party had a few clashes with them took out a few got vesper s henchman captured by basically chelaxian superman and took the cathedral then they decided to shortcut the scenario while the plan presented in the book is one of peeling an onion taking out the leaders of the rebellion one by one these chuckleheads decided to head straight at cansellarion bypass most of her guardians by using adamantine weapons to enter through the roof and then engage her in a session long fight that saw a succession of really big hitters they had neglected to kill show up to kick ass what happened then well i believe i covered that back in the first post of the series i honestly cannot form an objective opinion about hell comes to westcrown i can conclusively say that i think the first act functioning as the actual climax of the previous book is a let down however the rest of the book we completely deformed with my strange westcrown avengers and their skipping of a good chunk of the adventure s content we had fun but i cannot see a meaningful relationship between the text of the adventure and the events at the table and that s a wrap for hell s vengeance now i am running the enemy within for warhammer fantasy role play 4e and extinction curse for pathfinder 2e we will see which one finishes first and if i have anything to say about it then posted in pathfinder reviews roleplaying games tagged pathfinder reviews roleplaying games 1 reply hell s vengeance review part 2 3 posted on december 2 2021 by nitessine reply continuing my reviews of the hell s vengeance adventure path we come to books three and four the inferno gate and for queen empire here i really headed down the path to madness spoiler warning is in effect the inferno gate in the inferno gate the party heads to paladin occupied senara and then into the dark whisperwood to find the inferno gate a stable conduit into the nine hells that can be used to summon an army of devils of course their boss archbaron fex backstabs them and is in fact the final enemy of the book the thing about the inferno gate is that one chapter of the book is a hexcrawl the problem with that hexcrawl however is that it does not adhere to pathfinder s rules about hexcrawls the hexes in the inferno gate are 25 mile hexes while the game rules assume 12 mile hexes 25 mile hexes incidentally are larger than the city of new york so i d just bought campaign cartographer off humblebundle and i figured i d redraw the map in the right scale the more mathematically inclined among you will see where this is going from 43 hexes i went to around 200 hexes i had to go to a print shop to get the map printed in a3 size of course when one has around 160 more hexes than one started with one needs to populate them first i emptied the random encounter tables from the module into the hexes this helped a bit then i placed a couple of known landmarks from cheliax the infernal empire and their surroundings like the pillar of palamia and constructed loose encounters around them then i started getting desperate i placed a few side trek encounters from wizards com where you can still access their old 3e pages if you know where to look in a fit of madness i grabbed the old fighting fantasy book the forest of doom mapped it out and placed the encounters and subplot from that into my hexmap i stole a chunk of reverse dungeon in the end i never populated the entire map but i did do most of it and then moved stuff around as the party explored the forest it did make the inferno gate very different from what it was since most of the play time was spent in the forest i think we had four complete sessions of that here i also chose to fix what i perceive as the biggest shortcoming of hell s vengeance it s missing one obvious adventure concept the reverse dungeon in my opinion there should ve been at least a chapter in one of the volumes where the party needs to defend a dungeon against encroaching paladins or whatever so i did it here for the final session of the inferno gate after they d slain the perfidious archbaron fex and claimed the inferno gate for their own i broke out my old dungeons dragons miniatures rules obviously we used the first edition rules back when d d miniatures was a thing i was an avid and active player it also marks one of the few instances of a skill based game where i was actually good on a competitive level i still have my collection and all the stat cards so we calculated the commander stats for each member of the party i whipped them up warbands and four enemy warbands one was led by the savage mistress of beasts another was glorious revolution paladins one i think was dwarves from the forest of doom and one was just a bunch of do gooder adventurers the ddm guild a fan group keeping the game alive was an invaluable resource in building the warbands then i quickly taught my players the rules and we all played a couple of one on one matches as the agents of thrune summoned fiends from the inferno gate and defended fort arego against encroaching foes fun was had arguably what i ran was not really the inferno gate though most of its material did still survive to see the table the thieves guild of senara even killed cimri staelish she was buried in a shallow grave at the edge of town she did not feature in the campaign after that though it was accepted among the group that she rose as some kind of vengeful undead still it s hard for me to actually evaluate the text since my experience with it is so different one thing i did not particularly like was the structuring of the final chapter where first the party has to fight its way through a besieging force so that they themselves can assault fort arego which feels a bit confused still fun was had whisperwood in all its glorious greenness for queen empire this ended up being the shortest adventure in practice and though i modified a lot i did not add much i did fix a major inconsistency that i perceived however at the start of for queen empire the house of thrune calls all of their agents to egorian to find someone who can do a major job for the queen but none of these other agents are featured in the module if the agents have to queue for hours as they do the city would have to be teeming with high ranking agents of thrune so i added them in the party ended up in the same inn with all the rest of the pre generated characters from the adventure path and kept running into colourful characters who were ostensibly on the same side i tried to present emil kovkorin co as fellow agents who were going through exactly the same kind of crap that the party was in for queen empire the agents must navigate the intrigues of egorian and pick a side from between two nobles vying for the queen s favour the other one they must take into a grove in barrowood and sacrifice to the nine hells to renew house thrune s contract the contestants here are a duke whose wealth is based on breeding fiendish pigs to whom he also feeds his enemies and a countess whose husbands keep dying mysteriously also at the sacrifice there s an end fight against a turncoat cleric of asmodeus with no foreshadowing which is a total asspull fortunately as i described in the last post i d set up lazzero dalvera as the party s foil and could utilise him as a replacement another thing i did was keep track of the calendar throughout the campaign which bore some fruit in for queen empire as they ended up arriving in egorian just in time for the last big gladiator tournament of the year dies irae they could not fight of course but they were invited to the stands by their other noble contact i like the setup of the adventure the two npcs are very juicy and interesting to roleplay and the module also features one of the obligatory story beats for a villain campaign in cheliax crushing a cell of the bellflower network which is basically a halfling underground railroad however i feel the adventure doesn t lean enough into the courtly intrigue theme that s right there and everything ends up being a fight go to a ball there s a fight sabotage a pig farm there s a fight try to prove the countess s boyfriend is cheating on her dude s also a high level monk so i hope you put on your fighting trousers this morning if i had had more time i probably would have removed half the combat and rewritten the book as a more social adventure but we were playing weekly at the time and there are only so many hours in a day obviously your mileage may vary and not every party is suited for it but in my party the lowest charisma was 14 for queen empire has a solid core but it feels like it doesn t dare to venture too far from the combat centred gameplay assumption even though the game explicitly has tools and subsystems to handle courtly intrigue posted in pathfinder reviews roleplaying games tagged pathfinder reviews roleplaying games leave a reply hell s vengeance review part 1 3 posted on november 30 2021 by nitessine reply this one has been a while in coming but here we go to recap earlier this year i finished running the hell s vengeance adventure path for pathfinder rpg because reasons cleared everyone s schedules and we got to play on a nearly weekly basis what i d intended to be maybe two three years of leisurely play ended up as 41 sessions in 20 months and now i m running the enemy within because i had to take a break from pathfinder after that the first two books of hell s vengeance then are the hellfire compact and wrath of thrune and they thematically mirror each other so it makes sense to discuss them together also this discussion will be rife with spoilers i will also be making notes on what i changed or added which in some cases was a lot this was not necessarily because i found the scenarios somehow defective though obviously nothing is perfect but often just because i wanted to fiddle with the material myself also of note is that though with past campaigns i ve found the paizo ap forums very helpful in the case of hell s vengeance they were rather on the quiet side the villain campaign is not everybody s or even most anybody s cup of tea and seems to have been a fair bit less popular so less help there the hellfire compact the first book of t...
