Pathfinder Adventures - Background Music

Pathfinder is a tabletop game that I feel becomes a richer experience with the use of music and background sounds. I enjoy the use of ambiance sound of nature and I think they also add a decent soundtrack to the background environment. The sounds make the world come alive by adding depth and realism to it.

Pathfinder Adventures - Quest One

I made a short adventure that was directly related to the Valentine's Day holiday and was used to poke and make fun of the day itself. The adventure became a hit and I'm in the process of creating the followup campaign that takes place a few months after the events of the first adventure.

The adventure begins in the Valentinus region which is many miles from the established Kingdom of Anatidae to the west. The Kingdom becomes more relevant in the second quest compared then it is here in the first. The quest was designed to have a party of one and begins in the small town of Old Rose. Old Rose is the neighboring work force to the vineyards to the east which is about a days journey there and back. The Saint Jaymes vineyards is well known for the wine production in the Valentinus region and sells most of the goods to the Kingdom of Anatidae.

Old Rose and the region abound has been stricken with a plague of sickness that causes massive fatigue and heart strain. The victims of the disease seem to pass days after being afflicted with the symptoms. The party gets roped into the events when their family members are plagued with the disease and neighbors gossip that the night before they have seen a shadowy figure in a black cloak leaving through a window of the family's house running north out of town.

The road north heads to and then splits into three paths: the Lake of Coeur Saignant to the west, the Crying Mountains to the north, and Saint Jaymes Vineyards to the east. As the character gathers information about the mysterious figure the path is set out and the true passage to his whereabouts lie to the north. The Crying Mountains name comes from the fact that the mountains are almost always have overcast with rain showers. The path is a difficult one that being so with all the rocky terrain and the slushy mud. After a bit of travel up into the mountains the character starts to notice strange wispy objects in the corner of his or her eyes. Direct eye contact makes to wispy figure vanish but after a few more minutes of travel the strange phenomenon happens again. The higher the character climbs the more of the wispy figures the character notices. Watching the wispy figures from the corner of the eyes seems as if they are looking for something within the area and if the character searches the spots that the wisps were at turns up nothing.

Once the character climbs enough into the mountains themselves he or she will notice a rather large cavern opening and the wispy figures seem to be seen going in and out of the cave. The cave system is a maze of halls and puzzles that seem out of place in the remote Crying Mountains. Undead horrors roam the halls of the cavern and strike out to the player character when they draw in close. The last chamber of the cavern opens up to a black cloaked figure offering a heart as sacrifice to a demonic figure rising up from a flame. The demonic figure is a black silhouette with wings and four arms, and the piecing red eyes gaze upon the character that comes through the door. Within seconds the demonic figure dissipates and the flame extinguishes and the black cloaked figured tosses off its clothing. The creature is non only than a Cupid that has gone rouge.

The adventure wraps up once Cupid is defeated and the character learns that Cupid has been using magic to steal the hearts of the people of the Valentinus Region. The hearts were used for an unknown purpose but the town of Old Rose is now safe.

... for now...
