A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 7th- through 10th-level characters.

In the conclusion of the Year of Boundless Wonder, the Pathfinder Society and one of the members of the Decemvirate have pieced together a careful plan. Using one of the mysterious items from the vault, the draught of dreams, the Society will lay a trap for Aslynn, catching her via her own greed and desire to control dreams. The plan requires bait though, and Zarta Dralneen has stepped up to prove her loyalty to the Society yet again and finally finish off Aslynn. However, despite their secrecy, she's caught wind of the plan and is ready to overturn it and finally be done with the Pathfinder Society once and for all!

Those Pathfinders are such busy bees,

Thinking they’ll finish Aslynn in a breeze.

Oh ho, but she has so many tricks,

Let’s try them all, see what sticks!

    Big final fight! HELL YEAH!!! Finally!!!! And than... that...

    3/5 —

    WARNING! Small Spoilers in this Review o:-)

    I won't rate the scenario that badly, but I was also a little disappointed in the final fight considering how well the villain was built up so many scenarios before...
    Alright, my bard hit her with Roaring Applause, which she couldn't save, and our group has two or three attacks of opportunity, so that was pretty lucky. But for the grand finale I actually expected at least "severe" encounters.

    The scenario wasn't bad at all. I only like influence in private rounds, the organized play scenarios didn't convince me of the system (I like the pursuit much better), but whatever, at least it wasn't that unfair, but there is a group that is 100% here that didn't consist of nothing but Skillmonkeys?

    Nevertheless, the flair was given at least until shortly before the final fight. More than three stars is not possible from my side from a player's point of view. I will lead it on Friday and if the round turns out differently, I will edit the evaluation again afterwards.

    Positiv: I find the handling that certain scenarios played by the participating PCs have meaningful and understandable effects on the finale very good!

    An Extremely Underwhelming Finale

    1/5 —

    There are two reasons I rated this scenario so harshly.

    1. The Influence subsystem can be really fun when well-written, but Paizo typically does not put in the effort to truly make the subsystem shine. This scenario is another example of how Paizo puts too many characters into these encounters and doesn't try harder to make them fluid and interesting - possibly with various talking points or scene transitions.

    2. The final boss battle was an absolute letdown. For the finale of the season, and the culmination of years of build up, facing off against a villain who's been a thorn in the Society's side since Season 5 of PF1, I was hoping for a battle that would be challenging, memorable, and rewarding. Instead, I got a MODERATE ENCOUNTER?!?! Why Paizo? It was the finale of an entire season, darn it! In the future, please have more challenging boss battles. PLEASE!!!!

    I...I think this might be everything I've ever wanted from a scenario. The only thing I could think to make it better would be a legacy tag.

    Er... I just got access to this scenario, while it's slated to be for July. Is this a mistake? And if it isn't, am I allowed to run it already?

    No. Please see the Venture Officer Discord server for more.
