The Price of Friendship
The Price of Friendship, a Pathfinder Society scenario for tier 5-9 written by Christina Stiles, was released in July 2013. This scenario is the second in the three-part Glories of the Past adventure arc, which links the Pathfinder Society Roleplaying Guild's Year of the Risen Rune and Year of the Demon.
“The Pathfinder Society has discovered the hint of a monumental revelation, but in order to confirm their find, they must send a team of agents into the dangerous and unwelcoming orc-ruled Hold of Belkzen. While an expedition could easily be dispatched to the orc capital of Urgir, the Decemvirate urges caution to ensure success. Thus, a team of Pathfinders must seek out a guide in the Varisian orc city of Urglin. Can they navigate the treacherous city of denizens who wouldn't mind seeing them dead, or will the orcs' Second Home be the site of their final mission?
