The town of Falcon’s Hollow is no stranger to peril, yet the danger growing in the dungeons below a nearby ruin pose a threat that only a new band of heroes can face.

Another campaign complete.

This being my first "real" PF2 campaign I had high hopes from the story and the mechanics. Even if there were some sour parts, I'd say the book delivered on all parts it was supposed to.

The story is rich and well developed. It feels heroic yet allows shenanigans to happen. The pages on the settlement could be used more efficiently but it allows further development and lots of personalization if needed.

Took about 30 sessions of 4 hours each. Some "almost-TPK"s, some big revelations, and (being a prequel) events that will lead to interesting historical bits in universe.

Overall, a fun and enjoyable low level adventure, with a few tough fights, but nothing too over the top. The finale was a little anti climactic, but still good.
