well... then you can really prove yourselves by helping him
discover those ruins and finish his own Confirmation!”

Having relayed their request, the three deans make

themselves available for questions. Answers to some
likely questions are below, though they can be adjusted
to match the tone of the master you select to respond.
Who is Rain in Cloudy Day? “Rain in Cloudy Day,
or Rain as he’s sometimes called, is a Pathfinder
initiate. He’s a leshy, a spirit granted a plant body by
powerful magic. He hails from the forests of the newly
independent nation of Ravounel. After some travelling
abroad, Rain in Cloudy Day heard tales of our Society
and decided to come train here at the Grand Lodge. He
may have even been in some of your classes!”
What was Rain looking for? “Rain uncovered
evidence of ruins in Taldor’s Blackwood Swamp, just
24534134 4457259

north of Cassomir, that may date back to the time of

the ancient Azlanti Empire. The Azlanti civilization
effectively ended when a swarm of meteors descended
on our planet in an event known as Earthfall. These
ruins were likely built by Azlanti who survived the
event, and are possibly 6,000 years old, or older.”
What was Rain’s itinerary? “Rain chartered a vessel
from here to the Taldan port city of Cassomir. He was
to check in at the Three-Legged Frog, an inn in the
city’s Imperial Naval Shipyards district. From there, he
was going to have a guide lead him into the adjacent
Blackwood Swamp to start searching for the ruins. We
haven’t heard back since he left.”
What do we know about the Blackwood Swamp?
“It surrounds Cassomir on all landward sides.
It’s a rotting marshland that’s filled with dense
overgrowth, quicksand, giant carnivorous
plants, monsters, and all sorts of other lovely
things. The perfect place for Pathfinders to
prove themselves!”

Society (Recall Knowledge)

A PC who succeeds at a DC 15 Society check
to Recall Knowledge knows about Cassomir and
Sorrina Westyr the surrounding Blackwood Swamp. Remember that
these checks should be rolled secretly.

Critical Failure The greatest cause of disappearances
in Cassomir is related to a Darklands settlement
of drow living underneath the city who routinely
abduct non-humans who visit the city. (Though
this information is false, Cassomir does have
a problem with a nearby Darklands settlement
of dero, who regularly abduct citizens from the
surrounding area.)

A PC who succeeds at a DC 15 Nature check
to Recall Knowledge knows about common threats
in the Blackwood Swamp. Remember that these checks
24534135 4457260

should be rolled secretly.

Critical Success The Blackwood Swamp is home to
countless predators, though those within a day’s journey
of Cassomir are often fairly docile. Oversized reptiles,
strange oozes, wolves, and aberrant castoffs are the
worst one can expect to see while travelling in the
swamplands close to Cassomir. Creatures beyond a day’s
journey from the city are wildly unpredictable, and many
believe that unnatural creatures such as aberrations
and undead arise from some regions of the
Blackwood Swamp.
Success When straying off the main paths,
it’s easy to find a patch of flammable
gas clouds or quicksand within
a misty region of the
Blackwood Swamp.
Travelers seeking
to journey into the
swamp should bring
a trained wilderness expert, or at least have some plans in
place to avoid drowning in mires or quicksand.
Critical Failure A group of aggressive xulgaths routinely
attack those who infringe on their territory in the
Blackwood Swamp. These scaled humanoids capture
those they find within the swamp and sacrifice them to Marcos Farabellus
their cruel deities.

Thakik and many others within the enclave.
Rain stumbles while describing his lack of “reporting

must have forgotten! I mean, this is great discovery!”
Rain would prefer to keep the focus of the conversation
on the excitement of the new discovery rather than his
reporting oversight, though he does apologize if any PCs
mention being worried about him.

of the enclave.
“Our scouts report that the creatures that attacked came

have no idea of the threat within—but we assume the site is
quite dangerous. I know Rain in Cloudy Day has been interested
in investigating these ruins, but the risk is too great. However,
our enclave can’t afford to withstand more of these attacks.”
Thakik looks over the assembled group, as well as Rain.
“Would you be willing to venture into this structure and find
out what has agitated the creatures within?”

Following Thakik’s request, Rain in Cloudy Day pipes

up with a hopeful smile. He wants to explore the ruins
and believes the PCs are the added protection necessary to
make such a journey happen. Rain knows the location of
the larger ruin, which is only a few hours away. If the PCs
seem unwilling to continue, Rain indicates that he won’t
return to Absalom until he sees what’s inside.

Adventure Summary
The three masters of the Pathfinder Society’s schools asked you to help a Pathfinder initiate who hadn’t reported back from their
Confirmation. In the Pathfinder Society, the Confirmation is a mission that each initiate undertakes to prove themselves and become a
field agent. You travelled to the nation of Taldor in search of the missing initiate, a fungus leshy named Rain in Cloudy Day. Trekking into
the nearby swamps, you encountered a group of lizardfolk who revealed that Rain was staying with them. Your meeting with your fellow
Pathfinder went awry when a group of strange creatures attacked the lizardfolk enclave. After defeating the creatures, you travelled with
Rain to the source of the attack: a sunken ruin dating back thousands of years. Inside the ruin, you overcame dangerous creatures and
hazards to discover a magical summoning glyph. You returned to the Grand Lodge to make your report, where you and your allies were
acknowledged for your important discoveries, and those not already acknowledged as such were promoted to Pathfinder field agents.
