Preparations out of the way, the party enjoys a calm evening together before attacking the noppera-bo encampment.
The party returns to Willowshore with their new friend and then we have a bunch of downtime and RP as they make preparations to attack the Lumber Camp.
The party investigates just where (and why) Ugly Cute disappeared, forms an unexpected alliance, and makes another unsettling discovery.
Chapter 7: The beginning of the end. The “keystone” party of Haz’ward, Sellith, Remy, and Bobby returns at level 12 to deal with the immediate aftermath of Heroes of Undarin.
The party encounters surprising signs of activity at the Hunter’s Hut, and returns to Willowshore to break the news to everyone.
The party accepts the elders’ request to go to Karahai, and discovers something…. unexpected along the way. And also buys a spoon.
The party tracks down Mo Douqiu, the leader of the invading forces, and begins to uncover the beginnings of a deeper mystery. Also we learn about Ugly Cute’s political leanings.
The party sees disturbing visions, visits Granny Hu, disarms a Saw trap, and meets some fraternity turtles.
The party makes contact with Southbank and pushes towards liberating the Dawnstep Bridge. And Anton makes the best pronunciation slip-up of all time.
Introducing the Season of Ghosts adventure path! A horror/mystery/slice-of-life (?) story that I think is one of the best APs Paizo has ever written. Welcome to Willowshore.

The setting sun at their backs, the Heroes of Undarin begin their final stand. What tactics does Commander Varex’shal have up her sleeve?
Waves 5 and 6 of the hilltop battle, as the ancient high priestess intensifies her assault on the temple.
Apologies for some messier audio in this, I had to make a lot of cuts as one of our players was sick.
The hilltop battle for the ruined temple of Sarenrae starts to escalate with more waves of enemies, and our heroes begin to realize what kind of predicament they’re in.
Chapter 6: It’s here – the infamous TPK chapter. A party of high-level demon slayers is sent into the as-yet unsealed Worldwound to escort a group of Esoteric Order agents to an ancient temple. They will be asked to give their all to this mission… including their lives.

[Go to 16:23 to skip intro banter.]
The resolution of Necerion, Whark’s poker game, and the rest of the plots and schemes at the gala. Will our pirate PCs ever know the part they have played in saving the world from the Doomsday Dawn?
As Xig follows a suspicious pirate to the “back area”, all hell breaks loose in Whark’s fortress.
Our pirates secure some alabaster tokens and the highest-stakes poker game in the Shackles begins. Also, I say “the flop” like 7 times when I mean “the river”.
Our pirate party arrives at Whark’s high-stakes gala, meets a myriad of new faces, and begins to scope out the event in search of Necerion.
Chapter 5: The pirates from Plunder & Peril are back! Assigned a special mission by an important patron, they must infiltrate Free Captain Whark’s expensive gala and find out what a dangerous cultist from Osirion is doing here.

What will our heroes find under Ramlock’s Tower? A quick conclusion to Chapter 4, before we launch into the pirate chapter!
With the last allies in the Thicketfell located, the Order coalition finally moves against the Night Heralds.
The 9th-level adventuring party continues to explore the Thicketfell. In this session: an unexpected ally, an unnerving dream, and lots of key scouting info about the Night Heralds.
The exploration starts in the bottom, at the Esoteric Order base camp on the Little Sellen River. Scouting and reports from the nearby Stolen Lands mean this blank map (basic geography) is revealed beforehand.
Each hex is 18km (12 mi.), and takes 1 day to travel (2 hexes/day if by boat) and 1-2 days to explore.
Starting info says that the Moonmere is located by the source of a river, giving 4 pretty clear possibilities for a search.
Chapter 4: Kingmaker, baby!!! The original party of Haz’ward, Sellith, Remy, and Bobby is back at level 9, to explore the wild & remote Thicketfell in search of the Night Heralds.
The final battle for Sombrefell Hall. Our level 7 heroes may never know it, but they’ve just played an integral role in averting Golarion’s destruction.
End of Chapter 3.
Battle breaks out in Sombrefell Hall’s library. The mystery of Dr. Oscilar’s secrets begins to unravel.
A brief interlude from Doomsday Dawn to play a very exciting one-shot from Dark Archive!
A group of adventurers (alternate-universe Haz’ward, Remy, Sellith, and Bobby from Doomsday Dawn) board a restaurant boat in Goka for an evening they’ll never forget…
Chapter 3: Two years after the exploration of Tular Seft’s tomb, the Esoteric Order needs aid decoding the occult mysteries they have learned. A motley crew of academics and adventurers – aided by an undercover Order spy – are sent to look for a Ustalavian specialist: Dr. Verid Oscilar.

Almost 4 years after it released, we’ll be playing the PF2E Playtest adventure Doomsday Dawn (updated for modern PF2E rules, of course).
For playtesting purposes, this unique adventure jumped between 5 parties, with timeskips (and level jumps) between chapters – however, because of this, IMO it also ended up with a really interesting, non-linear, experimental plot structure. It has fascinated me since my first attempt to run it in 2018 and now we’re giving it another go.
In typical Me fashion, I’ve shuffled much of the plot around, and added more layers of mystery, complexity, and foreshadowing, so if you’ve played this before you might notice quite a few changes too.
