SHUNNED VALLEY OF THE THREE TOMBS
The growing trade town of Dulwich looms over the Great Salt Mire in the Duchy of Ashlar. A veritable torrent of lumber from the nearby forest
enriches its citizens’ coffers and emboldens the growing merchant class. Dulwich’s lord, Wido Gall, resists the merchants’ efforts to topple his
rule while coveting the nearby village of Longbridge. Both sides seek support from the followers of Conn, hoping to sway the newly
appointed and young high priestess. Meanwhile, adventurers flock to the town’s inns and taverns, preparing their own expeditions into the
ruins hidden in the nearby Forest of Gray Spires.

Far from Dulwich, hidden deep in the forest, lies a marshy and boggy valley. Woodsmen and hunters shun the place—kept away by rumours
of a terrible beast lairing within and of a ghost haunting the valley’s boggy mere. But, as well as great danger, treasures magical and
mundane may yet lie unclaimed in the valley for three unexplored tombs built by ancient hands, stand amid the mud and reeds.

Dare you explore the Shunned Valley of the Three Tombs?

FOREWORD

Originally, Raging Swan Press released Shunned Valley of the

Three Tombs as an introductory adventure for Pathfinder 1st
edition. It seems fitting, therefore, the adventure be the first we
release for Pathfinder 2nd edition.
The valley itself contains several small discrete adventure sites
the party can explore in any order. Each highlights a different facet
of play and lends itself best to a different selection of classes.
Thus, everyone gets a chance to shine.
For example, clerics and paladins have lots to do in the
Champions’ Rest (area F) while rogues and their brethren are
particularly suited to the challenges found in the aptly
named Tomb of the Stone Woman (area E).
Finally, the Lair of the Ferocious Hunters (area
G) houses several dangerous predators perhaps
dealt with best by rangers and druids (and/or
archers).
The module’s challenges touch on several key
elements of the game including trap detection and
disarming, dealing with the undead and the challenges
associated with defeating a large, physically powerful
combatant. All require different approaches.
Of course, the players shouldn’t be completely
in control of proceedings and so I’ve also included some random
events and encounters to spice up their time in the valley. Use
these or not as you see fit depending on how the party are
progressing (and your own tastes). Also remember that instead of
using this module in its original form it would be easy for you to
use the various tombs as standalone adventure locales the party
discover on their journeys.
Finally, for more experienced players—and for those who like
more roleplaying in their game—I’ve included an optional
encounter featuring the ghostly lady of the lake. Beginners may
find the challenges of this encounter beyond them (which, I
suppose, is a good thing as they can learn that they can’t hope to
defeat everything they encounter).

THANK YOU!
I hope you enjoy this adventure. If you’ve got any comments or
questions about Raging Swan Press, I’d love to hear from you. You
can contact me at [email protected].
