About the adventure
Ragtag outlaws get their hands dirty in the oil-slicked alleyways and whisky-soaked saloons of Alkenstar, the City of Smog. To enact revenge on the mogul who ruined them, these renegades must steal from the rich, take down crooked shieldmarshals, and aid a mysterious gun-slinging patron. In a city where the clockwork guards are literally as tough as brass, antiheroes will need true grit to dole out overdue justice. The bustling city of Alkenstar is positioned between the perpetually at war nations of Nex and Geb. This independent city-state sits on the edge of the Spell Scar desert an area. Magic does not operate reliably in this area due to a cataclysmic war between Nex and Geb. As a result, technology has advanced to replace magical power: clockwork tech, including black powder firearms, is widespread in Alkenstar, and firearms will be readily available for players and foes alike! BOOK ONE: PUNKS IN A POWDER KEG - By Vanessa Hoskins A ragtag band of gunslinging outlaws get their hands dirty in the greasy alleyways and whisky-soaked saloons of Alkenstar, the City of Smog. To get revenge on the mogul who destroyed them, the renegades will have to stick up an illicit bank, foil a crooked shieldmarshal, and escort a reclusive inventor to safety. All the while, countless rough-and-tumble rivals aim to waylay the party and seize the inventor's latest concoction: pyronite, an explosive substance with the potential to change the face of the world. In a city where the clockwork guards are literally as tough as brass, the antiheroes will need true grit to dole out overdue justice. BOOK TWO: CRADLE OF QUARTZ - By Scott D. Young Time is of the essence when the formula for the devastating explosive pyronite falls into the wrong hands. To secure the formula and even the score with the sinister rival who ruined them, a motley gang of outlaws must brave the weird and wild wastes of the Spellscar Desert. At the center of this mutant-filled wasteland, the outlaws discover an abandoned temple of time called the Cradle of Quartz. But while redemption and a fresh start might be nice perks, the outlaws seek something far more valuable among the Cradle's time-warped halls: revenge. BOOK THREE: THE SMOKING GUN - By Cole Kronewitter With the chips down and the cards stacked against them, a crew of vengeance-seeking vigilantes must infiltrate Alkenstar's upper crust in order to clear their names and halt a villain's plot to bring the city to its knees. In this action-packed finale, the characters must pull off a daring high-rise heist at a garish gala, shut down a necromancer's shocking schemes in a volatile hydropower plant, and dismantle their last remaining rival's master plan aboard a luxury gearboat, all before an explosive conclusion destined to blast the city apart!

π SESSION ZERO & CAMPAIGN LAUNCH π Players will create 1st level characters and may purchase starting equipment with a lump sum of 15 gold pieces. Items in the players guide are considered common for the purposes of this campaign. Players may choose to create characters using Herolab Online or Pathbuilder. Additionally, players can create their character in our Foundry World. Once characters are drafted, we will introduce and review them for completeness during the Session Zero. Variant rules for this adventure path vary by each campaign. Check the adventure listing to determine if Ancestry Paragon, Free Archetype, or Automatic Bonus Progression are in effect for this campaign. πJOINING THE CAMPAIGN IN FLIGHT π Players will create their character at the current campaign level.
