No need to read the rulebook before we start. Many years ago an Evil Sorceress™ wanted to bring death and destruction to the world by unleashing a monstrous army, but she was slain before she could go through with it. Now you're celebrating the 450th anniversary of that victory and the founding of your hometown, when a local business owner hires you to investigate a seemingly small problem. Nobody expected you to uncover that the ancient enemy has returned to her massive underground dungeon, where she had been breeding those monsters, and is still dead set on her goal. How will you decide to stop her? Will you turn her former demonic minions into allies with some clever negotiating and maybe an actual deal with the devil, or will you simply kill them all and stop their machinations for good? Will you get involved in the messy politics of the mayoral race of your town, or stay out of it and let the dice fall where they will? Who's to say what will be the better outcome? This game is great for newcomers to Pathfinder 2nd Edition - no matter if you're coming from D&D or are brand new to tabletop roleplaying entirely. There won't be any lengthy rules explanations, instead you learn them as you roll dice and actually play the game. Pathfinder 2e often gets called crunchy, but it's way more approachable than its reputation suggests when you're learning at the table. The first two or three sessions we'll be going through the Beginner Box adventure, where you can familiarize yourself with the system and the NPCs living in your hometown, before then starting the "Abomination Vaults" Adventure Path proper. This is a classic dungeon crawl adventure, where you move deeper and deeper into the dungeon with each level. While that means many monsters and enemies oppose your progress, combat is often not the only solution. Clever tactics and creative solutions are always going to be rewarded. There will also be plenty of opportunities for role-play and character moments, with both denizens of the dungeon as well as the town above. I've woven in some custom content in addition to material from the "Troubles in Otari" adventure at appropriate times to make the NPCs in the town feel more alive and fleshed out, as well as make the role-play involving them richer and choices with them more meaningful.
