Age of Ashes Adventure Path [PF2E][Lvl 13]
Pathfinder 2e | Campaign
About the adventure
The castle atop Hellknight Hill, Citadel Altaerein, has stood abandoned for years in eastern Isger—a legacy left behind by the Hellknight Order of the Nail that’s largely ignored these days by the populace of the nearby town of Breachill. But when strange signal fires begin to burn atop the citadel’s battlements, a local goblin and friend of Breachill’s citizens begins to worry, for her tribe, the Bumblebrashers, live within the castle. She fears the fires are distress signals, and hopes to attend Breachill’s monthly Call for Heroes to ask for help from a band of local adventurers. As fate would have it, this call for aid comes to your group of heroes, and as a mysterious doom draws near, who could have predicted that such an act of local heroism would eventually lead to the unmasking of one of the most insidious and dangerous conspiracies of the Age of Lost Omens? Dive into the Adventure Path that launched Pathfinder second edition. New players and veteran players alike are welcome to hop in and uncover the story of Citadel Altaerein and the secrets the Hellknights left behind. This is a fresh game starting at Level 1, so if you get in at Session 0/1 you will get the entire experience! All ages are welcome to join. Just be warned, this is a dangerous adventure path, so it will take all of your wits to survive.
The party has just finished helping the elves of the Mwangi Jungle, and are back at their Citadel before opening the Dreamgate portal. Now is a great time to jump in as Book 3 is just starting!

Teacher
Mike ran a really fun Monster of the Week One Shot. He is very patient and good at explaining the rules without it interfering with the narrative. He also has a good sense of humor and can improvise on the fly. Play felt very natural and like a good entertainer, he left us wanting more. I would definitely play one of his games again.
Mike hosted a great one-shot, and took us through character creation and straight into the middle of the mystery. He kept the narrative flowing, the story moving with interesting NPCs, and did a fantastic keeper role with everyone engaged. Made learning a new system a fun and entertaining time, and definitely worth playing with. Highly recommended.
Mike is a fun DM. He lets you explore and be creative with how you handle situations. I highly recommend him. While the Monster of the Week game was mostly theater of the mind he did include some very helpful visuals. This was a great introduction of the system for me having not played.
