Shades of Blood: A Level 1-10 Adventure Path (LGBTQ+ Friendly)
Pathfinder 2e | Campaign
About the adventure
The remote island settlement of Talmandor's Bounty is thrown into chaos as a strange magical effect plunges the region into shadow. Urged to investigate the event, the PCs travel to a nearby island and discover an ancient Azlanti prison that was buried during Earthfall. Inside, a cult of the blood god Camazotz thrives, and in dealing with them the PCs learn that greater threats lay deeper inside the ancient complex. Can the PCs discover who’s behind the supernatural shadow and stop them before it’s too late? Shades of Blood is a three-book Adventure Path that sees players delving into an Azlanti prison in an attempt to stop a cult of Camazotz, god of Blood. This will be my first time running Shades of Blood.
Game style
Rules as Written (RaW)
Games that are ran “Rules as Written” emphasize realism and stick to the letter of the rules, allowing players to explore creative solutions while still operating under a consistent rule set. Players have the ability to utilize the rules in creative ways to create awesome characters and moments in the game.
Dungeon Crawl
A “Dungeon Crawl” is a scenario where players navigate a dungeon or labyrinth-like environment for the entirety of the adventure. It emphasizes battling monsters, collecting loot, and avoiding traps to survive to the end!
Combat Heavy
“Combat Heavy” games emphasize the combat mechanics within their systems over roleplay or puzzle solving. There are frequent and longer battles with enemies and a greater emphasis on tactical game play.
