this battlefield. The PCs must keep any attackers from
reaching the two trails leading off the map to the east, or
from slipping down the 15-foot deep well into a tunnel
that stretches even further into the camp. If a creature
reaches either of these locations, the PCs can attempt
to defeat the enemy creature before its next turn;
otherwise, it tears into the camp and causes lasting
damage as long as it has at least one action
available to Stride (see Development at the
end of each encounter).
The PCs can plant their Dolok
trees in any square on the map
they choose, although squares that
are underwater or ablaze could
pose a risk. Each Dolok tree fills a
5-foot square, stands 60 feet high,
and functions as a mindless creature
that assists the PCs. The PCs begin each
encounter standing wherever they choose
on the battlefield, with some possible limitations
depending on their surveying efforts.
Terrain: Each square of undergrowth is difficult
terrain that provides standard cover and grants the
concealed condition to creatures within it. If a square of
undergrowth takes 5 or more fire damage from a single
effect, it only grants lesser cover and doesn’t provide
concealment for one minute. The rock formation in the
southeast corner provides greater cover against effects
passing through it.

This forced movement stops at the waterfall, which

PC skill checks when interacting with one
random NPC at the camp (see A Moment’s
Rest, below) by one degree of success, as
that NPC is wounded and irate at the PCs’
failure to hold the line.

A Moment’s Rest
With the initial waves of attackers repelled, the
PCs have an opportunity to rest. The Sarkorian
druids encourage the PCs to leave the Dolok
trees as a bulwark in case of a surprise attack
but otherwise return to camp to recover
their strength. The Farheaven warriors
are wounded and tired, but strangely
exhilarated and upbeat. According to some
of the veteran fighters, who remember
the endless waves of demons pouring
from the Worldwound that originally
drove them from their lands, this
relatively sparse attack feels much
more winnable.
The PCs have 1 hour to recover.
During this time, they can assist some
of the Farheaven leaders around the
camp. Interacting with one NPC takes
20 minutes (30 minutes for groups of 5 or more
PCs). A PC can’t interact with a given NPC more
than once. The DC of all non-Lore skill checks is 20
(DC 23 for Levels 7–8). The DC is instead 18 for Lore
skills (DC 21 for Levels 7–8).

SAPPERS SEVERE
The passage below the Farheaven camp funnels
Flauros’s pyroclastic flows out of Sarkoris. The narrower
tunnels have 15-foot ceilings, while the lava river passage
has 25-foot ceilings.
Use the map on page 12 for this encounter.
Lava: Creatures who move adjacent to or fly anywhere
above a square with lava take 1d6 fire damage, which
reoccurs every round the creature begins its turn in such
a space (this includes walking on the stepping stones to
the east). Creatures standing in the lava take 8d6 fire
damage instead. Creatures with the Throw Rock ability
that are adjacent to lava can take 1d6 fire damage to
pick up and throw a hot rock, adding 1d6 fire damage to
their rock Strikes.
Trees: At the start of the encounter, the ceiling bursts
open with the roots of any Dolok trees that were still
functional at the end of Event 2. These roots are 10-foot
tall obstacles emerging from the ceiling, and they form
in the marked squares. Apart from their change in height
and their emergence from the ceiling, the roots function
identically to the Dolok trees from which they grew. For
groups of more than 4 PCs, add any additional trees
beyond the fourth to squares directly above lava.
Clouded Quartz Roots that hang directly above the lava take 1d6 fire
damage each round.

Adventure Summary
Tasked by the Decemvirate, you magically travelled to the distant lands of Sarkoris to enlist the assistance of Nelket the god caller
and Dolok Darkfur of the Farheaven Clan. When you arrived, you found that Dolok was in the midst of enacting a powerful ritual
to cleanse a nearby forest. Using feathers granted by the eidolon that summoned magical trees, you held off two assaults by waves
of demonic attackers. Following this, you met with several prominent members of the Farheaven Clan and their allies. Finally, a
worshipper of the demon lord Urxehl dispatched a subterranean force to attack the ritual site from below. You and your allies
managed to stop the attackers and secure Dolok and Nelket’s aid in future missions.
