One of the first Pathfinder adventures returns in an expanded format! The town of Falcon's Hollow is in peril as Kobold King Merlokrep, first of his name, is ready to expand his domain! A classic adventure awaits, ready to bring a new brand of heroes from 1st to 6th level!

“Only the Desperate and the Brave.” So reads the proud motto of the town of Falcon’s Hollow, for here on the fringes of Andoran, in the shadow of the looming volcano known as Droskar’s Crag, the dim, mist-laden forests are prowled by feral beasts, ravenous monsters, and the restless souls of the dead. Once, a great dwarven kingdom brought safety and stability to the region, but that all ended with the wakening of Droskar’s Crag during the apocalypse known today as the Rending. For too long did sibilant whispers ride the vale winds after nightfall in the aftermath of this disaster, and during those desperate years, evil took root in the hidden places deep below. Today, the land has recovered from the volcanic eruption, and as is humanity’s wont, settlers have returned to the region. “Only the Desperate and the Brave” came to build Falcon’s Hollow, and time has appeared to reward that desperation and bravery, for now their home feels relatively safe and secure.
This is all a lie, for what awaits the people of Falcon’s Hollow deep below might well be doom adorned with a bloodstained crown."

After character creation, please select one of the following hooks to lure your character into the Darkmoon Vale and the adventure. Upon completion of your selected quest, you will earn 120 XP for the accomplishment.
A MISSING PERSON
A local hunter named Barlus Chortun has gone missing, and
a worried priest asks the PCs to investigate and track the
missing hunter down.
Personal Hook Barlus is a friend, family member, or
associate of the PC in question.
AN ELUSIVE ANTIDOTE
As the season turns and hints of a yearly recurrence of
illness rise, the PCs are asked to gather important
ingredients from Darkmoon Vale to help bolster the
townsfolks' health.
Personal Hook A friend, family member, or associate of
the PC in question has symptoms that require medicine
made from these ingredients.
THE DARKMOON BEAST
Loggers have grown timid and nervous about working in the
Vale after rumors of an unusually intelligent wolf circulate;
the PCs are hired to track the wolf down and deal with it.
Personal Hook A friend, family member, or associate of the
PC in question was attacked by the wolf.
FOLLOWING FOOTSTEPS
Several years back, a dwarven adventurer went missing in
Droskar’s Crucible, and the PCs have been asked to follow
in his footsteps to determine his fate. If he’s still alive,
rescue him—if he isn’t, find out what happened to him.
Personal Hook The missing adventurer is a relation, family
friend, or childhood hero of the PC in question.
The adventure features many enemy Kobolds, so players who wish to play a Kobold might think about this option to ease their characters into RP situations:
FRIENDLY DARKMOON KOBOLD BACKGROUND
RARE
It has taken time, but over the years, you’ve managed to
find a place among the citizens of Falcon’s Hollow. While
many still distrust kobolds, they at least see you as a fellow
villager, if not a friend, and you’ve got quite the talent for
quickly convincing larger groups of people that you mean
them no harm.
Choose any two ability boosts. One must be to Wisdom
or Charisma, and one is a free ability boost.
You’re trained in the Diplomacy skill and Kobold Lore
skill. You gain the Group Impression skill feat.
1. What game system are you running (D&D, Call of Cthulu, Palladium, GURPS, etc.), and if applicable what edition (Original, Classic, Revised, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 10th, etc.)?Pathfinder 2E
2. What 'type' or variant of game will it be (i.e. "Shadow Chasers" or "Agents of Psi" for d20 Modern)? What is the setting for the game (eg. historic period, published or homebrewed campaign setting, alternate reality, modern world, etc.)? Crown of the KOBOLD KING! Adventure set in the world of Golarion
3. How many Players are you looking for? Will you be taking alternates, and if so, how many? 4
4. What's the gaming medium (OOTS, chat, e-mail etc.)? OOTS/GiantITP Forums
5. What is the characters' starting status (i.e. experience level)? 1st level
6. How much gold or other starting funds will the characters begin with? Standard 15gp
7. Are there any particular character classes, professions, orders, etc. that you want... or do not want? What are your rules on 'prestige' and/or homebrewed classes? None
8. What races, subraces, species, etc. are allowed for your game? Will you allow homebrewed races or species? 'Prestige' races or species? Any common or uncommon ancestries. If you choose Kobold, please look into the Friendly Darkmoon Kobold Background listed above.
9. By what method should Players generate their attributes/ability scores and Hit Points? Standard
10. Does your game use alignment? What are your restrictions, if so? Please make a "team player" character and please no Evil.
11. Do you allow multi-classing, or have any particular rules in regards to it? As per the rules
12. Will you be doing all of the die rolling during the course of the game? Will die rolls be altered, or left to the honor system? If players can make die rolls, which ones do they make, how should they make the rolls, and how should they report them? Players roll their own rolls, other than Secret Checks, I roll NPCs
13. Are there any homebrewed or optional/variant rules that your Players should know about? If so, list and explain them, or provide relevant links to learn about these new rules.: By the book and basic. This will be my first time DMing PF2 since 2021, so let's go very easy/simple.
14. Is a character background required? If so, how big? Are you looking for anything in particular (i.e. the backgrounds all ending up with the characters in the same city)? Use the general Backgrounds.
For Backstories, keep it short. Skirt length.
15. Does your game involve a lot of hack & slash, puzzle solving, roleplaying, or a combination of the above? This AP is mostly RP and Combat.
16. Are your Players restricted to particular rulebooks and supplements, or will you be allowing access to non-standard material? What sources can Players use for their characters? These are the books I own. Anything from these is fine. I am really only familiar with the player stuff from the Core Rulebook but I am sure anything Paizo has put out is fine. Please don't make super powerful/optimized Pun-Pun characters. Go easy on me. :)
