Pathfinder World's Largest Dungeon Playtest Summary

  • Millennia ago, the celestials built a great dungeon. That dungeon was used as a prison by the celestials. In recent years, a Mad King and his family have used the dungeon as their own prison; throwing people in there. A small community of misfits (prisoners and their descendents) now live in the dungeon, trying to survive. The group consisted of the following:
    • Ms. Faera, Magus Schoolteacher. (Female)
    • Small Wolf Ranger and Large Wolf Animal Companion. (Males)
    • Varian, a Criminal Swashbuckler. (Male)
    • Gil, a Watchman Inquisitor. (Male)
    • Andersil, a Reserved Summoner. (Male)
    • Arcata, a Rebel Arcanist. (Female)
    • Kinatt, a Fortune Telling Witch. (Female)
  • The group was brought together by their elders to rescue Carl. The son of two of the elders, the young paladin turned up missing recently in the community. It is believed he is kidnapped, but even if he left willingly, he is an important member of the town and needs to be brought back as the dungeon is a dangerous and deadly place.
    • The elder provided Carl's hat to the group. The Small Wolf used the scent to track Carl...
  • Once exploring the dungeon, the group was ambushed by a group of darkmantles when they stopped and examined a kobold corpse.
    • The group ultimately killed the darkmantles despite their annoying constricting and darkness spells.
  • Further in the dungeon, the group found a small group of goblins arguing...
    • Andersil used his eidolon to scare the goblins further into the dungeon and avoided the threat that way.
  • The group came across a prison area ran by orcs and their tiefling boss.
    • The prisoners consisted of two men, a woman, a kobold, a bear, and a kangaroo.
    • The orcs were quick to attack the party for intruding on their prison. The orcs were ultimately defeated, and their tiefling boss killed when it tried to ambush Varian in the darkness.
    • The group freed the prisoners and promised to show them their community. In exchange, many of them (particularly the kobold and the kangaroo) knew which direction Carl went in.
  • The group destroyed a barricade blocking their path and only afterwards found the secret door that would've circumvented that.
    • The next area seemed to be living quarters for a the orcs. The group stumbled across an ogre, a wererat, and several orcs. All of them seemed to serve something called Longtail.
    • A nearby ratling had left several corpses from his adolescents and aided his allies against the adventurers, but ultimately retreated before he could be killed.
    • The group found a strange diagram and model for the Heavens; left here by the celestials.
  • In the next room, the group found Carl along with a few woman that were being sacrificed by the False Priestess.
    • Each member of the group ran into someone from their past; enemies that they had once clashed with. And although it almost cost many of them their lives, the group was ultimately able to defeat their enemies, and save Carl before he was killed.
