About the adventure

In the cosmopolitan trading city of Kibwe, at the edge of the Mwangi Expanse, innocent people struck by a terrible curse known as the slithering are melting into malevolent oozes. The heroes are at the epicenter of this slimy curse and might be the only ones capable of recovering the ancient magic required to break it. Tracking the course of the slithering through Kibwe's colorful markets and shrines, the heroes must untangle the curse's origin and discover the role the nefarious Aspis Consortium plays in the unfolding conspiracy. The mysteries the heroes uncover might usher in a new era of plenty and prosperity for Kibwe, if the heroes can survive the slithering to experience it! The Slithering is a deluxe adventure for 5th-level characters written by Ron Lundeen. Featuring terrifying new monsters, repulsive new rules and magic items, and an in-depth look at one of the most exciting cities in the jungle-choked Mwangi Expanse, The Slithering provides a wealth of secrets and dangers! This is a short term mini campaign that should take about eight sessions to complete, played weekly over Foundry and Discord.

Additional Details

How to prepare

A good quality microphone (preferably a headset) is required to use Discord. I also strongly encourage players to use video during games. Games using video conferencing are usually more enjoyable for all parties, as video prevents misunderstandings and miscommunication. In addition you will need (free) accounts for Discord and Forge - the site hosting our Foundry VTT session. A short primer with campaign setting information will be provided in advance through Discord.

What I provide

All handouts, maps, art, and character-building resources will be provided electronicaly either through Foundry or Discord. Foundry provides access to all player content for Pathfinder 2E for the purpose of character creation, equipment management, etc.

Gameplay details

The adventure includes elements of body horror, and violence typicaly of high fantasy adventures, but, more uniquely, it also features themes of contagion quaranine that might come uncomfortably close to recent global events. During our session zero we will discuss our personal limits on what content we would like to see in the game, using a tool called "Lines & Veils". Any behaviour or language that makes other players feel unsafe or uncomforable at the table will not be tolerated.

How will character creation work

Play will begin with the characters at 5th level. Characters should be created before the first session, with reference to a short players' guide that will be circulated on Discord. We will be using the standard "starting wealth" rules for 5th level. We will also be using the free archetype rule and the ancestry paragon rule. One unique rule regarding character creation exists for this adventure: players may not choose to play a human character for narrative reasons that will quickly become obvious.
