Mantises & Murder: Prey for Death, high level PF2e, 2hr sessions
Pathfinder 2e | Campaign
About the adventure
Free Session 0, and the first two players to sign up pay half price for the first two full sessions! Free Archetype variant rule There is always someone willing to pay good money for bloodshed, and there are always people willing to take the contract. You? You're ruthless, and you're good at what you do. You're one of the best contract killers in the entire Inner Sea region, perhaps the entire world. As a Red Mantis, part of an elite assassin's guild (one of the guildmaster's favorite agents, even!) you've been selected for a new mission. What could go wrong? A new age of war is coming. Witness the beginning. This is Prey for Death, an assassin-themed Pathfinder Second Edition adventure for 14th level PCs, ending at 18th level. This is a standalone adventure that will include events which will majorly impact the Pathfinder setting. This adventure will be for those of us desperate to squeeze a little more gaming into our lives, and as such is only 2 hour sessions. If this is something that interests you but the time scheduled here doesn't fit, feel free to message me and we can try to find a 2-hr slot that does work for you, or even see if anyone is interested in 1-hr slots.
Game style
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.
Additional details
How to prepare
Just check out the discord, it has all the info you need, and we'll go over everything together during Session 0. We will be using discord for voice and Foundry as the vtt, so you will need a functional computer and microphone.
What I provide
I will provide you with a link to our private discord channel, our fancy foundry table with all the premium adventure bells and whistles, and provide you with a ton of links to resources to help you make the perfect character, as well as make myself available to any and all questions you may have. I am normally very open to all skill levels, but this is a high level adventure and in order to handle high level play you need some experience, at least. This adventure is also an "evil" campaign, but it is *not* an "edgelord" campaign. We aren't going to be graphically torturing NPCs and we aren't going to be running around doing evil things for no reason. You're professional and highly effective assassins. That said, this adventure might get a little gruesome at times, and I don't plan on shying away from it. If you aren't good with brutal violence and gore, this isn't the campaign for you. (If this isnt for you, feel free to message me anyway and I can help you pick another adventure that will be better suited to your tastes, whether it's one I GM or not.)
Gameplay details
This entire adventure has one big set of content warnings for violence, gore, and all sorts of means of murder and mayhem. I will be open to any and all discussions about boundaries and needs in this area, privately and/or as a group, but the expectation should be that things will get fairly dark at times, without becoming gratuitous.

How will character creation work
We'll go over this in more detail during session 0 and in conversations on the discord, but the short version is as follows: You will be starting at level 14 with the Free Archetype optional rule and a handful of minor homebrew bonuses (mostly lore skills) I've come up with. I also plan on being generous with your starting wealth. In particular, you will all be starting with your very own magic sawtooth sabers, the iconic weapon of the Red Mantis assassins.
