Phantom Phenomena
Phantom Phenomena, a Pathfinder Quest for 1st-level characters written by Brian Duckwitz, Cole Kronewitter, and Nicholas Milasich, debuted at Gen Con 2015 and was released on the Paizo store on August 3, 2015.
“Bizarre phenomena have tormented the people of southeastern Ustalav for decades, and these events become stronger and more dangerous every year. Hoping to uncover the origins of these flashes of red lightning and spectral hauntings, Dr. Quolorum from the Sincomakti School of Sciences has set out with a team of able-bodied assistants. Can the PCs help the professor unlock the secret that dwells above Lantern Lake?
Phantom Phenomena includes six, 1-hour adventures that take the PCs to a superstitious village, a lightning-scarred woodland, an ancient Kellid monolith, a haunted manor, an occult university, and finally into the storm-choked mountains. Experience the adventures in any order to create a unique story.
