Burnt Offerings (d20)
The Rise of the Runelords Adventure Path begins in the small coastal town of Sandpoint. In a time when rumors of rampaging dragons and massing armies of giants have everyone on edge¸ the people of Sandpoint eagerly anticipate the coming festival to commemorate the consecration of a new temple. Yet¸ at the height of the ceremony¸ disaster strikes. A band of goblins assaults Sandpoint¸ and it falls to the heroes to defend the new temple.
"In the days that follow¸ a mysterious malady that leaves its victims monstrously deformed and dangerously insane spreads through the town. The PCs must not only determine what's causing this strange contagion¸ but also discover the sinister connection between the plague¸ the goblin attacks¸ and the emergence of a strange rune from an empire thought to be long dead.
"This volume of Pathfinder also includes extensive details on the town of Sandpoint¸ several new monsters¸ and information on the mysterious ancient empire of Thassilon¸ whose cruel and despotic rulers may not be as dead as history would have us believe.
