This article covers the Pathfinder Society Roleplaying Guild scenario. For the in-universe event, see Siege of Serpents (event).

Siege of Serpents, a Pathfinder Society scenario written by Jim Groves for tier 1-11, debuted at PaizoCon 2015.

“

The Pathfinder Society has opened its gates to visitors from across the world in anticipation of the Grand Convocation, a magnificent festival in which Pathfinders share tales of their exploits, show off their findings, and celebrate the Society's accomplishments. However, an inopportune accident quickly spirals out of control when an old enemy attempts a brazen assault on the Pathfinders' home, and an unexpected foe emerges from hiding to seek vengeance for the Society's perceived crimes. Can the Pathfinders pacify the chaos and protect their guests while simultaneously defending the Grand Lodge?

Siege of Serpents is a multi-table interactive adventure in which each group's actions contribute to the entire room's success.
