Table 1: PF2 March of the Dead: A Book of the Dead Adventure Part 1 (Tier 3)

---

March of the Dead is a grim and dangerous adventure that starts in the town of Trunau and is themed around an undead uprising in the small village of Fiorna’s Faith not far outside the Gravelands.

This adventure is offered outside of the standard Society play environment; therefore, we will be playing in Adventure mode!

“What is adventure mode?”: ‘Adventure Mode’ is used for adventures not specifically designed for Organized Play. This mode allows the GM more freedom to adapt to those adventures, including running the adventure in Pathfinder using GM house rules and the ability to alter encounters and statistics found in the adventure.

“I can build whatever character I want?”: Yes, you can build a Third-level character though you must have a connection to Councilwoman Agrit Staginsdar of Trunau (within the Holds of Belkzen) in some way, shape, or form that your character is motivated to help the Councilwoman and the town. AKA, your built character must be willing to go on this adventure.

In terms of gear, Characters can also either start with a second-level magic item (a +1 rune is legal to grab), two first-level items, and 30gp, or they can get a lump sum of 75 GP. You can buy any common item up to your level, but uncommon and rare items will need to be looked at before the session.

Useful skills for the PCs to have are Crafting, Medicine (for keeping your party alive), and Religion, which are the most used and important skills of the adventure. Athletics, Arcana, Nature, Occultism, and Society will also be useful.

If you decide not to build a character, you can use a Third-level Pregen Iconic that will be provided.

“House Rules?”: We will be using Free Archetype, so you get to add an archetype training feat at the second level in addition to your class feat! You can use it to take another class, a dedication, or any undead archetype listed in Book of the Dead provided the feat is level 2. Though the Zombie archetype is banned for this adventure given they are the main antagonists. Your character must be willing to cooperate with your party and get to the end goal.

If you want to take a rare archetype for the free archetype dedication that isn’t in Book of the Dead, please consult me before the session.

“Content Warnings?”: This horror-themed adventure is rather gruesome and includes animal death and a mention of suicide.

“Any specific violence against LGBTQ+ people?”: None that would be different from the general populace of Fiorna’s Faith.

“What if I cannot make one of the sessions? Will I still get a Chronicle sheet?”: If you participate in one or both of the sessions, I will make sure you get a chronicle sheet for your time.

"How many players?": At most, eight. If you want a spot for this adventure, don't hesitate to sign up!

"Any other rules?": Be on time and be kind to one another at the table!

This is great, Jackson. Thanks so much for putting it together!

Would interested players post what character you're bringing, so we can think about party composition? I have my Investigator, who just so happens to be lvl 3. He's good for skill-based scenarios and lore checks. I'm inclined, however, to make a new Fighter or Champion. I'm probably leaning toward tanky Champion, actually. But I can adjust depending on what everyone else wants to play.

Thanks!
Scott

That sounds like a great idea!

I forgot that the Chronicle sheet can be applied to any character of any level! If you have a PFS character you wish was higher level, it would be a great amount of XP for them!

Okay, I've decided to make a new Dwarf Champion of Iomedae. I'll be very tanky and focus on Shield Block and damage reduction for the group. As I see it, we'll need a melee striker, ranged striker, heals, and CC/utility. I'm excited!

Matthew is playing a level 3 Leshy Oracle!

Oh cool, digging the in-depth content warnings!

Sign me up for both sessions plz?

I can bring either:
[*] The first PFS character I made, a STRanger (who for this adventure will temporarily take either Druid or Vampire as her Free Archetype, depending on how confident I'm feeling) who's personality is admittedly just "the creep nobody likes"
[*] an Offense-focused Fighter>Calistria!Cleric
[*] a bear lady (who I can play as either a Druid or a Fighter>Druid for this adventure depending on what we need)
[*] a naive-and-timid Investigator

Viola, you should play whatever you feel the most excited about. That said, I like the idea of Bear Lady!

Could you please sign me up for the 8th? Thanks!

Jeff

I would like to join tonight with a gnome thaumaturge if that's cool. Henry H

We left off with a survivor of Fiorna's Faith seeking out the party. She will tell you important information, you will have enough time to explore the remaining places of note (I believe Bird House, Graveyard, Erastil's Table, and there is a town spring that has not been explored yet) before it gets dark out and part 2 begins.

For part two, you must hold up somewhere within the town of Fiorna's Faith for the night with Fortification.

You have discovered some supplies to board up a place. For places to be behind, you have options:

• Any of the non-descript homes have six openings that need to be covered

• The Pick and Pint has 14 different openings,

• The Spring Manor has 21 different openings,

• Warland's Yard has 9 openings,

• Erastil's Table is out in the open.

And the other locations that have yet to be explored.


You also discovered the following supplies in town:

• 50 feet of rope

• Hammer and a box of nails

• four pints of oil

• a dozen torches

• 10 feet of simple iron chain

• wood to barricade at least six openings

• a small barrel of flammable tar (each of which can cover a 5-foot square and burn for four hours)

• Two Barrels of Freshwater

• Six large bolts of cloth

• A Crate with 50 arrows

• Two Bottles of Alchemist Fire

• One Lesser Antiplague

• Moderate Darkvision Elixir

• 6 Days worth of food total (not to say you don't have your rations)

• Half a dozen alcoholic bottles that could be used to burn a 5-foot square for 10 minutes (1d6 fire for passing through)

• 20 Empty Crates and Barrels

It is a long list, but I want to make sure you know what you have at your disposal.
