About the adventure
Levels 1-11 🌘 Darkness Creeps from the Sea... In the distant colony of Talmandor’s Bounty, the sun falters—its light swallowed by a growing shadow. Whispers speak of ancient ruins beneath the waves, of blood cults awakening, and of something old… something hungry. 🦇 Whispers in the Deep A buried prison, lost since Earthfall, trembles with unnatural life. Subterranean monsters roam its halls, and ancient wards strain against a force that should never have stirred. Those who delve into its depths find more than forgotten cells—they find worshippers of a god who drinks the dark. 🩸 A Land That Pretends to Live Somewhere below, an impossible village basks under a false sun. The people smile. The crops grow. But behind closed doors, something feeds. Will you tear away the veil… or become part of the illusion? 🕰️ The Clock Ticks Toward Eternal Night In the shattered heart of the old world, a towering relic prepares to smother the sky. Strange machines hum with long-dead power, and a mind sharpened by undeath races to complete a terrible design. To stop it, you’ll need more than steel and spells—you’ll need to pierce the shadow’s truth. 📖 What Lies Within: -A living settlement on the brink of collapse -Three ancient deities tied to blood, undeath, and perfect order -New shadow-touched player options, magic, and monsters A sun-forged relic, a broken god-machine, and an ending that burns or fades 🌑 Will You Stand Against the Dying Light? Shades of Blood is a gothic-horror Pathfinder Adventure Path where brave heroes must descend into the depths of the past to stop a future ruled by shadow. The light is fading. What will you do when the sky goes dark?
Game style
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!
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
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.
